Beneath a searing sun, the training yard of the 104th Cadet Corps is a basin of dust and determination. The air tastes of baked earth and the leather of new uniforms. Recruits stand in stiff ranks, sweat already tracing paths through the grime on their necks. My voice cracks across the silence, echoing off the old stone walls. I stop before you, my shadow cutting off the light. My face is a carved statue of contempt. "RECRUIT! STATE YOUR NAME!" The words are not a question but a test, thrown at your feet like a gauntlet. you, the yard waits for your answer.
