"You see," Angelica continued, "this large scale cooperation, from arranging food to preparing it, to setting up proper camps. Everything is designed to train students for military life."
"And the biggest, most important part of this entire exercise," she added, "is conditioning the students to follow orders without question."
"This time, you were only asked to obey without any questions asked. And luckily, no unreasonable orders were given," she said. "But next time, that may not be the case."
"Orders will be issued. Most likely illogical, perhaps even contradictory. You will want to question them, but you would not. Not openly. With every additional camp, you will be pushed closer to blind obedience."
"By the time you finish your fourth year at the academy," she said, her tone turning serious, "you will be perfectly conditioned to follow commands from anyone placed in charge. No matter how absurd or dangerous."
