Although everyone was nervous at the start, their nervousness gradually disappeared while listening to the story of Guy and his companions about their past endeavors.
The content of their story is about their successful missions in the past.
While listening to them, the heavy pressure that everyone was carrying gradually disappeared, especially for the cadets who were going to participate in this type of mission for the first time.
And because Guy's group seemed to be friendly people, it wasn't difficult to feel accustomed to them.
Now they were starting to admire Guy and the others. If their stories were really true stories about their past missions, then there was no reason to not admire them. They were in a few dangerous missions already and it seems those missions at least had somewhat better endings.
