"Beep——Beep——Beep——"
The whistle signaling the emergency assembly resounds through two dormitory buildings.
A batch of new soldiers who had just lain down are abruptly awakened and hastily dress up.
Fully armed.
This time, the emergency assembly takes a little longer. The excessive relaxation from last night has slackened their nerves. After the emotional agitation, they fall into a deep sleep, making it difficult for them to react to the whistle.
Only a few outstanding ones, along with those who rested early yesterday, manage to arrive at the assembly area first.

Nearly six minutes pass before everyone arrives.
Three instructors had been waiting for a long time.
Austin Shepherd is furious.
Very furious.
He does not speak, but anyone can feel the rage burning within him. The once approachable demeanor is gone, his icy gaze makes people uneasy.
"Dragging your feet, what were you all doing?! The mission time is so tight, if you delay by one second, that could cost a life, can you bear that responsibility?!"
Nathan Foster’s anger bursts forth, he holds a megaphone, yelling furiously.
This time, no one dares to retort.
The tense atmosphere spreads among all the new soldiers. They are severely reprimanded without any reason to resist.
Exceeding the time limit is indeed their fault.
"You all think you’re something after just passing once, thinking you can stay, right?!" Nathan Foster roars, his anger sky high, "Let me tell you, you all are nothing! You’re all useless scraps! If it was real combat just now, you wouldn’t know how many times you’d have been shot dead!"
Many among the crowd lower their gaze, no longer daring to look at him.
They are ashamed.
They’re in the wrong.
Especially Austin Shepherd, who rarely shows them a harsh face. Now, he stands in the shadow of the trees, his expression elusive.
It seems, he is very disappointed in them.
Among the instructors, his leniency gains him more popularity. So his anger and disappointment are the last thing anyone wants to see.
Taking a breath, Nathan Foster has finished scolding. He sweeps a harsh glance over them, raises the megaphone, "Anyone who took longer than five minutes, get the hell out right now!"
No one dares to resist.
Those who know they took longer than five minutes lower their heads, silently stepping out of the crowd.
"Damn, move it! Stop wasting my time!"
Nathan Foster yells, clearly impatient.
Under his urging, their movements speed up considerably.
In a short while, nine people step forward.
Three female soldiers, six male soldiers.
The atmosphere grows more tense.
There seems to be a foreboding feeling.
"We don’t need wastes like you here, pack your stuff tomorrow morning and get the hell out with the rest of the rejects!"
Nathan Foster glares at those who did not meet his standards, his words devoid of any mercy.
A lump forms in their throat. The soldiers look up, in disbelief.
Just because of this... they’re being dismissed?
A man from the group of failures raises his voice in protest.
"Just because of this one emergency assembly, I don’t think this is a fair assessment of our capability!" The soldier argued, defiant.
"Just because of this one emergency assembly, your capabilities were crystal clear!" With a cold snort, Nathan Foster’s piercing gaze sweeps over them, "Whether it’s once or twice, if you failed, you failed. You won’t get another chance! I don’t accept any excuses here!"
