Carlisle handed the megaphone back to Lawrence.
He then charged into the smoke–filled area with his fake gun in hand.
The opposing staff members decided to target the student directing the battle first.
Three of them aimed their rocket launchers into the smoke and fired paint pro
Daniel frowned and shouted, “Charge, everyone!”
Group 3 immediately ran toward the right–side cover.
“Cover our teammates!” Harvey commanded, and Group 1 opened fire on the opposition.
Group 2 joined the attack, forcing the staff to take cover and abandon their rocket launcher assault.
One of them pulled the pin on a paint grenade and hurled it forcefully.
Harvey noticed this and quickly yelled, “Scatter!”
Group 2 and Group 3 members hurriedly moved to the sides.
Carlisle successfully passed the first stage.
His shoes were covered in paint, picked up while passing through the obstacles, but the area covered
didn’t exceed 20%.
After Carlisle regrouped with the members of Group 2, the three groups fully implemented their pre- discussed strategy and charged forward.
With the left and right group providing cover, Carlisle’s group advanced seamlessly through the second
stage.
The roles then reversed, with Carlisle’s group now providing cover for the other two as they pushed forward, effectively pinning down the opposing staff.
The staff could easily overpower the students if they took the exercise seriously, but given this was just a simulation, there was no need to use high–intensity professional tactics.
In just nine minutes, Team 2 successfully cleared all five stages and completed the mission.
Daniel was ecstatic as he waved his arms wildly. “We get meat for lunch! Carlisle, you’re amazing!”
Harvey was puzzled as he asked, “You weren’t here for the training yesterday. How do you seem to know
the course better than us?”
Carlisle responded calmly, “It’s everyone’s effort that made it happen.”
It was clear he was only addressing Daniel.
Harvey realized Carlisle wouldn’t engage with him, so he didn’t press further. After all, they had succeeded and earned meat stew for lunch.
Next, it was time for Group 3.
As they prepared, Team 3 huddled together to discuss their strategy, planning to use Tearn 2s approach.
However, Lawrence interjected, “The battlefield is constantly changing. If the enemy suffers from a successful attack, they will adjust their strategy. You must be adaptable,
The students immediately fell deflated.
Lawrence’s eyebrows furrowed. “Throughout history, losing morale before a battle proved to be a grave mistake. Buck up, all of you!”
Team 3 immediately stood taller, puffing out their chests,
Lawrence pulled out a stopwatch and raised his megaphone. “Team 3, move out!”
Team 3 began their advance. They crawled on the ground, moving forward.
The opposition threw just two smoke grenades.
As the smoke spread, the students immediately grew tense.
“I can’t see anything. Are they firing paint rounds at us?”
“I can’t tell, Should we just stand up and charge?”
“There’s no one calling out positions!”
“I’ll do it. You guys keep moving forward!” A student volunteered to run back and report positions.
Those crawling in the smoke continued to advance.
The student who returned to report positions reached the starting point, only to realize the opposing side wasn’t firing any paint bullets.
Confused, he wondered if they were intentionally holding back. The student tasked with calling out positions was utterly confused.
A voice shouted from the smoke, “Marcus, hurry up and call out the positions!”
Marcus responded loudly, “It looks like they’re not firing paint rounds at all!”
One of the students in the smoke said, “Let’s take it as it comes. Stand up and charge!”
With that, everyone stood up and rushed toward the second stage.
They reached the second stage without any attacks from the opposition,
Smiles spread across their faces. They cleared the first stage faster than the previous teams. It appeared the opposing staff were indeed going easy on them.
However, their smiles froze in the next moment.
