The commotion here drew the attention of many people around. Upon hearing that there would be a contest, everyone got excited. Don't be fooled by the exhausting military training; during breaks, everyone is still brimming with energy, loudly enthusiastic. Earlier, people were already competing in push-ups.
"Push-up competition, someone just did a hundred."
"A hundred is nothing. Anyone who's trained can easily do a hundred. Not interesting."
"I think the 100-meter sprint is better, let's see who is the real land flyer."
"We aren't professional sprinters. What's so great about a 100-meter race? Long-distance running is more revealing. Whether someone's a real man or not, just run a dozen laps, and you'll see."
...
The parties involved hadn't said anything yet, but the bystanders were already chattering away, some even suggesting a combat competition—all looking for some excitement.
