(Rodova Military Academy – The Physical Training Class)
The early morning air was crisp, but it did little to keep Leo from noticing Professor Marvin's piercing gaze drilling into him.
As he stretched, shaking off the lingering haze of sleep, he couldn't help but feel like today's session was going to be a nightmare.
He, Su Yang, and Mu Shen already trained under a regimen far more brutal than the rest of the class, but for some reason, Marvin still didn't look remotely impressed this particular morning.
"Boys, the way Marvin's looking at us today, I'm definitely not getting any good vibes.
He's already got us carrying 80-kilo vests while the rest of the class barely manages 40.
But I think he's ready to bump us up to 100 today—" Mu Shen said, as he shifted uneasily.
