Magic University, sports field, four in the afternoon.
The weather was still blisteringly hot. After two weeks of military training, the first-year students were all red-faced from the sun, and everyone had tanned several shades darker.
They had been standing at attention since two in the afternoon, and their legs could not have been any number.

Counselor Liang wore a sun hat, her hair tied in a ponytail. She held her phone in both hands, constantly typing something.
"Huh? Are there only fifty-six people in our class?
