Training had begun two days ago.
Upon arrival, King's Defense started with several joint training sessions—no exercises, just everyone walking through the training content of a typical special forces squad a few times.
During training, there were more instructors observing than there were members of Gao Guang's team, because the training was essentially an assessment to figure out everyone's level before tailored reinforcement could commence.
Then Lin Nianzu and Ricardo were taken away after the first training session because they were the ultimate rookies among rookies. Not only could they not keep up with the pace, but they also had no idea what they should be doing. So it was a waste of time for them to join in the group training; they were directly handed over to a drill instructor for new recruits.
