In reality, the new cadet regiment received the letter of challenge even earlier than Ling Lan had predicted.
On that day, around noon, Qi Long, Wu Jiong, and the others from the Mecha Piloting Class-A had just completed their brutal physical training for the morning. Dragging their tired selves to the large military academy canteen to eat, they had barely sat down and taken a few bites when a raucous commotion broke out by the canteen doors, causing the initially noisy canteen to instantly fall silent.
"Which of you is the regiment commander for the new cadet regiment? Show yourself to accept this letter of challenge!"
