"Alright! Stop scaring the kids!" Colonel Gaisa laughed heartily, pointing at the junior officers: "Look, one by one, you've scared them all white!"
The junior officers also laughed awkwardly, and the gloomy and oppressive atmosphere was temporarily alleviated.
"No, I'm not just talking to scare you." Colonel Skool did not appreciate the gesture. He scrutinized each junior officer's face: "Most of you were sent to the Newly Reclaimed Land right out of school, without having experienced real war. So before you step onto the battlefield, I want you to understand the situation you'll face and the risks you'll bear."
Some junior officers bravely met Colonel Skool's gaze, while others lowered their heads in shame.
Skool's gaze finally rested on Winters Montagne, who neither returned the gaze nor showed any sign of guilt, but sat upright with a composed posture.
