Ye Qiu drove to Jin University and immediately noticed today's atmosphere was indeed different.
At the new students' opening ceremony, the stage was set again, with school leaders and military officers seated up front, ready to assess the results of the freshmen's half-month-long military training.
Unlike Ye Qiu's class, which practiced military boxing, all other classes focused solely on formation drills, making them stand out from one another.
Still, basic movements like standing at attention and marching in place were required by everyone.
According to the assigned numbers, Ye Qiu's class was eighth in line, meaning seven other classes would perform first before it was their turn.
The sun remained relentless, but they had no choice but to wait under its glare.
Ye Qiu, Luo Yang, and Ning Yun sat there, watching students from other classes perform their drills one by one in front of the main stage.
It was two hours later when it finally became their turn.
