Many students were hungry as they gathered on the sand when time called for it. The professors came first and waited for everyone to come.
“One lap around the beach and that’ll end today’s hell training.”
The students felt at ease.
‘We have until 5 to leisurely make it back.’
‘It’d be like a tour around Silmido in this case.’
During this, the freshman Kim Hyeonjun hand went up.
“Professor, I have a question. Our group did not eat. If we still have time after then lap around the island, can we eat then?”
The professor readily agreed.
“Sure. If you have time at the end of hell’s training, then it’s free time until the next item on the schedule. So, everybody ready?”
“Yes!”
The students wore comfortable running shoes; they did so in preparation for the running on the beach.
“Then, you run. GO!”
At the drop of the professor’s command, more than 100 students rumbled forward.
“With the sea breeze being fine like this, it’s good enough with a jog.”
“For your health, I think it’s good that we came to the MT. right, senior?”
“Yea, I’m thinking that as well.”
The student ran as if it was a leisure walk or stroll.
Even with the scorching sand below their feet, it wasn’t a hard terrain.
The fined grains of sands meshed as they trampled on.
But, some of the students led by their returning seniors were running with conviction.
“Heokheok!”
“Faster, faster, let’s go!”
The majority of the students did not understand their seniors’ reasoning.
“Run a bit slower, please.”
“Following that pace is too hard.”
Minor complaints erupted.
But, the seniors looked back while smiling brightly.
“Oh, then you can go slowly.”
“We won’t wait and are going ahead.”
The students eased off and asked.
“Is there some sort of reason?”
