The instructor raised his hand for silence, and the students immediately kept quiet.
"There is one absolute rule you must follow during this operation," The instructor's tone suddenly turned deadly serious as he continued.
"You are strictly forbidden from killing each other. Competition for kills is expected but if you kill, you would immediately be killed. We have multiple surveillance around the area, so don't think you can get away with it."
He let that warning hang in the air for a moment before he continued "We're approximately forty-five minutes from the drop point. Many of you have never faced genuinely life-or-death combat against intelligent human opponents. This will be different from fighting dimensional beasts. Stay alert, trust your training, and remember that your life is the most important."
With those final words, the instructor made his way back toward the cockpit.
