But just as his words landed, one of the two students who had run seven laps- Steve Bartlett-stepped forward with stiff resolve.

I'm not taking it. I'd rather quit the entire training.

"I hereby withdraw from Regalhold University."

The declaration fell like a rock into still water.

Steve hadn't originally intended to give up his student status. But under these circumstances, he saw no other way out.

One of his family's three precious nomination slots for the Hundred-Man Unit had already been granted to him.

If taking that pill damaged his body and cost him the chance to compete nine days from now, he'd regret it for the rest of his life.

So maybe it was for the best to cut ties with Regalhold now and focus entirely on preparing for the test ahead.

Following his lead, several others stepped forward.

"I'm quitting too."

"Count me in."

"I've never been treated this way in my life. I'm done playing along."

They turned to leave, ready to walk away from it all.
