Every few minutes, Daniel Thompson couldn't help but throw a glance towards the new recruit who was huffing and puffing as he circled the training ground.
Previously, Daniel held no particular impression of Harrison Clark, only remembering him as someone with a weak presence.
If it weren't for Harrison zoning out today during Daniel's speech, he would have forever remained a faceless passerby in Daniel's world.
But just like that, Harrison suddenly became deeply ingrained in his memory.
Daniel had no idea where this seemingly mediocre new recruit found the courage to challenge the physical fitness standards of the armored soldiers upon arrival.
He grinned, finding the situation somewhat absurd but commending the young man's spirit.
To become a good soldier, one needs this kind of unyielding determination.
Even if it seems utterly hopeless and only results in falling on the path ahead, it's better than kneeling and submitting at the starting point.
