Instantly, the entire field erupted. After all, this was the very first time the elusive chief instructor had ever shown himself in public. They had been training for weeks, yet no one even knew the chief instructor’s name, let alone his identity.
Amid the wave of startled gasps, Laurent stepped forward. With his shoulders squared and posture crisp, he saluted them before speaking. “Hello, students. I’m your chief instructor. My name is Laurent Caswell.”
“M–M–Major Caswell! Holy sh’t, I’ve finally made something of myself!”
“Am I the one losing it, or has the school gone crazy? How did they even manage to invite someone like him? Who am I to deserve this kind of prestige?!”
The crowd immediately exploded again. Compared to the girls–who had been grumbling privately about the never–seen chief instructor–the young men looked ready to faint from excitement.
“Quiet!” Laurent swept his gaze over them. “There’s only one week left in your 30–day military training. Over this period, all of you have made incredible progress. As your chief instructor, I’m proud of you.
“I hope you continue to push yourselves–no fear of hardship, no fear of exhaustion. Once the seven–day survival challenge ends, the outstanding cadets will be recognized during the performance ceremony, and I will personally award their medals.
“Lastly, I wish all of you success in this final stage of training.”
After finishing his speech, Laurent stepped back, allowing Jasper to come forward again. He offered a few more words of encouragement, then dismissed the meeting and instructed each team’s instructors to re- explain the rules.
Ava stood near the rear, but after the mixed–team reorganization, she ended up at the very front of her new formation. Unfortunately, that team was positioned dead center–directly across from Laurent.
Ava held her expression stiff, doing everything she could to stay composed. She tried not to think about it, but she couldn’t shake the feeling that his eyes kept landing on her, sending her nerves into a tailspin.
After the meeting ended, no one left immediately. Students gathered in small groups, buzzing excitedly about their chief instructor. It was the first time Ava realized just what Laurent represented in the eyes of the male students.
“Mom, Dad, look at me–I actually ended up training under Major Caswell! I can’t wait to brag to my brother!”
“Freshmen from the military academy next door are gonna be sick with jealousy. Major Caswell graduated from First Military Academy, yet instead of returning there, he became chief instructor here at Starry Heavens University!”
“To be fair, Starry Heavens is ranked number one. Their connections are insane.”
“Look at the man. That face should be illegal! I swear my legs gave out on the spot. I don’t care if I have to chase him–I’d gladly throw myself at him!”
“Girl, snap out of it. Didn’t you hear what the guys said? His mental power was Rank Triple–S. He’s still considered a living legend at the First Military Academy No one’s broken his record. And he made major at such a young age. Men like that–you’re dreaming way too big.”

“Can’t a girl dream at least? That man is literal daddy. I so jealous of his future wife–she’s eating good. And imagine him in bed… he’d go all night, even if you’re crying-”
“Ahem! Girl, this isn’t a deserted island. Please stop driving that conversation in public!”
Ava listened to the chaotic chatter around her, her whole body stiffening with embarrassment. She felt completely out of place.
“Ava, you’re really flushed. Are you sick?” Zoey hurried over. Alarmed by her expression, she felt Ava’s forehead. “You do feel warm.”
“I… I’m fine.” Ava brushed her hand away and asked, “Are you and Noelle on the same team?”
Zoey shook her head. “Nope! But Noelle ended up paired with Naomi. Lucky girl!
What about you? Which girls are in your group? Let me see if I know any of them.”
Ava pressed her lips together. “Malory Rayner. And someone named Holly Thompson.”
“Malory?” Zoey’s mouth fell open as she stared at Ava in disbelief. “Your luck… How did they end up grouping you two together?”
She knew the two of them didn’t get along. Even though Malory hadn’t caused trouble for Ava recently, being assigned to the same team as someone one disliked was still the definition of bad luck.
“Actually… Malory’s changed a lot lately,” Ava defended.
Early the next morning, the freshmen were transported to the perimeter of the wilderness–survival site. And a stern–looking captain led Ava’s team off the vehicle.
“Seven days,” he said. “If you reach the final checkpoint, you pass. If you quit halfway, your credits are revoked. If time runs out and you haven’t arrived, the instructors will extract you and mark you as failed. Supplies have been scattered throughout the mountains. You’ll have to find them yourselves.”
