The interim check had made one thing obvious. Groups that survived this competition would need to be more than merely good. They would need to stand out.
The thought alone made the atmosphere heavier. C10 quietly lowered his head.
Doyun noticed immediately. The younger boy had become easier to read over the past week. "What are you thinking about?"
C10 looked up."Nothing."
"Hmm? I don't believe you." Doyun's squinted eyes were fixed on him.
The shy trainee looked embarrassed. "I was just...I was just…thinking about elimination. They said only half of us will survive."
The room became quiet because everyone had been thinking about the exact same thing.
C90 sighed. "Honestly? Me too."
Even C57 looked unusually serious.
The reality of the situation was finally catching up with everyone. Until now, camp had felt like training. Hard training is exhausting but it is still only training.
