During their leave around this time each year, they would all use the military terminal to secretly watch the students compete.

"Come on, look at this one. I bet they can at least make it to the middle of the field—"
"Pathetic. They couldn't even make it to the middle."
"How about this one? Think they can last fifteen seconds?"
