But all of a sudden, there was a noise that came from the front of this hall.
The moment that the noise sounded, everyone who had been standing around casually in this room suddenly stood at attention and faced forward.
We hadn't noticed it until now, but there was actually a podium that was at the very front of the room where everyone was facing. It seemed that this place was some kind of meeting room for these people.
As everyone stood at attention, there was someone who walked onto the stage at the front of the room and went up to the podium.
When this person stood there, everyone who was in this hall suddenly raised their hand and saluted that person. That person gave a satisfied nod before saying, "At ease."
Only when they said that did everyone in the room relax again.
The person at the podium looked over the room, as if they were looking over everyone who was here
