The sun was nearly setting when Lucen was satisfied with their progress. Alexander and the others were not able to attend any other class except for Lucen's class, since he did not allow them to leave unless they all hit at least one stone.
By the time the final stone shattered in the air, almost all of them fell to the ground, tired.
Every hour or so, they failed to complete the task. Lucen added restrictions to their movements.
At first, they were allowed to stand however they wanted. Then Lucen told them they could no longer move their feet.
After another thirty minutes, he told them they could only use one hand. After that, he told them they had to shoot immediately after the stone was thrown.
By the time the sun had started to sink, Ryan was lying flat on the ground with both arms spread wide, looking as if his soul had already left his body.
Nina, despite panting heavily, did not fall to the ground since she thought that was unladylike to do.
