Chapter 24: Hell Week, Pt 1

Sergeants Elyn and Akim roused their cadets once more with fervor.

This time, no-one grumbled or dragged their feet. Instead, their eyes were filled with steely determination. All of their hard work and training boiled down to this.

Hell Week had finally arrived, and they were all ready to face it.

They hopped into their flightsuits and obediently followed the sergeants to the mecha bunkers. The cadets didn't rush things, nor did they take it easy. Instead, they took an even pace, determined to preserve their stamina as best they could.

When they arrived, they stood in formation as the sergeants briefed them on their mission.

"Cadets," said Sergeant Akim. "You all know why you're here. We are to participate in Hell Week in order to test our capabilities in a combat situation."
