Chapter 49: Talk 026 - Trapping and being trapped (1)

Dawn breaks and the autumn wind rustles.

The new soldiers who have finished running ten kilometers almost all collapsed at the finish line, finding it difficult to get back up once they fall. Some even started to vomit on the side of the road right after crossing the finish line.

Rowdy Brightwill and Drake Easton, who had been waiting at the finish line, seemed to be doing nothing, but the roster and stopwatch they held in their hands never rested. Although the overall score of this test depends on the last one to finish, they did not say they wouldn't record individuals' scores. Those soldiers who were misled by their words into slacking off certainly wouldn't receive high marks.

However, by the time these new soldiers reached the finish line, it was too late for them to realize what the stopwatch and roster meant. They could only watch helplessly as their scores were recorded.
