As if time had held its breath, all eyes fixated on the female soldier walking through the door. A cold chill swept through the air, making everyone unconsciously stop their movements and hush their voices.
As the flying tray gradually turned towards Flossie Wright standing at the entrance, the soup, rice, and side dishes hung in the air, somehow splattering within an unusually wide radius. As the tray approached, eyes widened fraction by fraction, hearts thumped loudly, fear and tension seeping out.
"Clang——"
The sound of the tray hitting the floor echoed loudly in the silent canteen.
It jolted everyone awake.
Yet, in the blink of an eye, Flossie Wright calmly took two steps forward, and the tray flew past overhead, crashing to the floor with a "thud". Even the soup and rice fell behind her, not a single drop staining her.
Upon hearing the tray’s crash and seeing an unscathed Flossie Wright, almost everyone let out a sigh of relief.
However, they only got halfway through their sighs when suddenly they held their breaths. Under their watchful gazes, Flossie lazily dusted off her shoulder and, before anyone could react, she grabbed the culprit who had thrown the tray. The icy look in her eyes, as she gripped the male soldier’s collar, frightened everyone, making it difficult for the stiff-necked to even stand in place.
Normally, even if Flossie had shown off her power today in public, it should not have prompted such a reaction from these hot-blooded new soldiers.
Yet Flossie’s aura was too intimidating. Falling under her gaze felt like being sliced open by a sharp knife coupled with her sudden actions, this group of new soldiers didn’t have time to react. They were taken aback and inexplicably her actions intensified their palpitations.
With a tighter grip on the male soldier’s collar, before he could react, she quickly approached him. He was taken aback, staring at the beautiful face in front of him, his face unconsciously blushed.
Nonetheless, the feeling of embarrassment was readily replaced by a chill in his heart.
"Hey, buddy, you’ve wasted the food we’ve worked hard to prepare. Can you explain?"
Flossie’s brows were cold, her mood unguessable. The reserved tone in her voice, somewhat cold and full of warning, slowly seeped into their skin, causing an inexplicable feeling of fear to rise from within.
"I’m sorry——" The male soldier instinctively opened his mouth to apologize, but halfway through his sentence, he suddenly realized what he was doing. The glaring gaze of his mates caused him to swallow the last word.
Seeing this soldier backing down, another suddenly stepped out bellowing at Flossie, "Your food is so bad, not even a pig could stomach it. You’re already lucky we’re not blaming you for wasting ingredients. What right do you have to speak to us like that?!"
No sooner had he spoken than others began to chime in, curses, and ridicule spilled out, accusations and support seemed to belittle the value of the cooking class’s meals to nothing.
The commotion returned to the canteen. Flossie was a tad irritated and, pushing the soldier in her hand aside, her gaze swept across the other members of the cooking class and collided with the angry Becca Reyes.
Becca Reyes furrowed her brows, then walked over towards Flossie. After scanning the surroundings, she lowered her voice and whispered in her ear, "The squad leader was out before cooking time, others took over in the afternoon, and the quality of the food dropped a bit."
