"Starting tomorrow, we will undergo seven days of field survival training,"
Austin Shepherd said calmly and distinctly.
Yet, all the students were so tense that their hearts leapt.
Field survival training is relatively more dangerous than regular training.
It’s different from the usual training. In the real wilderness, there’s no Instructor to accompany and instruct you. You can only rely on yourself to get through one unknown challenge after another.
What is the wilderness?
It’s the pure force of nature, untouched by human traces or signs, a confrontation between humans and nature.
But nature...
always hides unimaginable dangers.
They suddenly realized that, up to today, Austin Shepherd had finished teaching all the basic knowledge about field survival.
"At that time, you will face various kinds of desperate situations and experience loneliness, panic, despair, and even death. There, no one will help you, no one will console you, no one will push you. You can only move forward, or choose to quit,"
His gaze intensified, sweeping across them, Austin Shepherd’s voice suddenly grew louder, "If you don’t want to take risks, you can choose to quit now!"
The room fell silent.
Every student had a solemn and serious expression on their face.
They had gone through numerous difficulties to remain here, standing in this place.
They couldn’t give up easily!
Nobody chose to back down!
Even if afraid, even if worried, even if nervous...
But, it wasn’t so bad that anyone would choose to quit!
They are soldiers!
They will become qualified soldiers!
"Wasn’t it supposed to start in a couple of days?" Nathan Foster glanced at Austin Shepherd out of the corner of his eye but turned his head to ask Drake Easton in a whisper.
"That’s what the training schedule said." Drake Easton thought for a moment and then said solemnly, "Austin wants to surprise us."
Nathan Foster: "..."
It was indeed a surprise.
Even they, the Instructors, had been kept in the dark!
Drake Easton gave him a look and then quickly withdrew his gaze.
He gave the students five minutes to think.
But under Austin Shepherd’s intimidation, still no one chose to back down.
Austin Shepherd then concluded with a few words and let them disperse and leave.
Tonight was just a preliminary warning.
The specific rules will be discussed tomorrow.
Along the way, you could hear various discussions, some full of anticipation, some of concern, some planning. Almost everyone was talking about this topic.
Jocelyn Carrington and Becca Reyes exchanged a few words about the field survival starting tomorrow.
Flossie Wright and Belinda Nichols went to take a shower.
Mariana Buck and Jessie Grain seemed to have "fought" their way into a friendship, or perhaps they admired each other’s capabilities. The two rarely spoke together for a bit before heading to shower together.
"They’re not teaming up, are they?"
In the midst of talking with Becca Reyes, Jocelyn Carrington caught sight of their departing figures and couldn’t help but gossip.
"It’s possible,"
Becca Reyes shrugged.
If the four of us can come together, why not Mariana Buck and Jessie Grain? Mariana Buck is typically aloof, and Jessie Grain is relatively approachable, but both are tough nuts to crack. They don’t fit in with us, so it’s not impossible for the two to become close.
"Pfft," Jocelyn Carrington couldn’t help but laugh out loud, "Did you notice how fiercely Mariana Buck and Jessie Grain fought during this afternoon’s combat training?"
"This could be what is called..." Becca Reyes thought for a moment and said, "No fight, no acquaintance."
