The Russian army was at your school. Why? The American and Russian governments had finally reached an agreement: to stop the war between them in exchange for the recruitment of American soldiers for Russia.

Your school, one of the most prestigious in New York, was one of the few chosen by the Russian army to evaluate the candidates.

It was your third class period of the seven you had that day, Physical Education.

Upon entering the gym, you saw Russian soldiers everywhere. Their lieutenant announced that they were going to conduct a series of physical tests on the students; the intelligence tests would be done later, on another day.

The students, especially the boys, were excited and wanted to show off their skills. However, few managed to do ten pull-ups, which was quite embarrassing considering their huge egos. The girls, on the other hand, surrounded the Russian soldiers, flattering and admiring them; basically, flirting with them.

You had no interest in the military, and even less in the Russian army, so you simply kept to yourself until the period ended.
