Afternoon, five o'clock.
The sky was already getting dark.
At this time, the weather turned cold, dropping directly to below zero, and the cadets wearing only winter training uniforms without any extra layers were left shivering on the desolate hillside.
Only those who were extremely robust could sit on the grass, letting the biting cold wind blow upon them relentlessly, remaining motionless.
But as more people arrived, discordant voices inevitably started to emerge.
Another vehicle drove up, dropped off two cadets, then kicked up a cloud of dust as it drove away.
Those sitting nearby inhaled a lot of dust and immediately stood up in irritation, cursing a few words.
No one paid them any attention, so after a few grumbles, they squatted back down again.
Those who came early had already been here for four to five hours. They were left here by vehicles, with not a single guard nearby, whether to stay or leave was entirely dependent on their self-awareness.
