The leave had already been approved.
But, at Flossie Wright’s "request," Captain Peng had given her a small test in advance.
Just as Flossie Wright had anticipated, the mission Captain Peng assigned was for them to memorize every person’s identity and characteristics.
That night, Flossie Wright handed in a perfect answer sheet.
That very night.
The lights shone brightly in Ella Pemberton’s office.
Knock, knock, knock.
"Aren’t you going home yet?"
Accompanied by the knocking, a question came from the doorway.
The door was wide open, and as Ella Pemberton looked up, she saw Bard Walker standing at the entrance.
"Hmm, there’s a bit of a situation."
Ella Pemberton looked slightly grave and seemed a bit distracted as she replied.
"What’s the matter?"
Bard Walker walked straight in.
Both being frogman team captains, they were quite familiar with each other and it was normal for them to come and go from the office.
Looking up at him, Ella Pemberton passed over two A4-sized papers.
"What’s this?"
Taking them in his hands, Bard Walker asked with curiosity.

"It’s the sniper assessment. This is Flossie Wright’s answer sheet," Ella Pemberton said seriously, her gaze fixed on him.
Quite intrigued, Bard Walker looked down and started to read carefully.
The assessment was on the personal profiles of the veteran soldiers.
It examined their names, identities, personalities, characteristics, and even some details.
From the beginning to the end.
Perfect score.
It wasn’t that Bard Walker knew all this information, but rather at the end of the answer sheet, Ella Pemberton had written a 100.
"Flossie Wright’s?"
Bard Walker raised his eyebrows in surprise.
He couldn’t have mistaken it for Nancy Phillips’s, could he?
"Hmm." Ella Pemberton nodded, then took out two other neatly bound sheets of paper and handed them to Bard Walker, "This is Nancy Phillips’s. She took this two months ago."
Taking that one, Bard Walker looked it over carefully.
As expected.
Nancy Phillips had been with the official members for two years, so it was natural that it would be more difficult, and 98 points were already quite excellent.
But Flossie Wright had only observed for two days.
To understand all the veteran soldiers so comprehensively in just two days was an observation ability that was almost heaven-defying.
"She’s a good seedling."
Ella Pemberton remarked, her tone quite somber.
"Flossie Wright, indeed, is a good seedling," Bard Walker nodded in agreement.
"It’s a pity, though."
Ella Pemberton stood up, letting out a deep sigh.
"What’s a pity?"
Moving his gaze from the answer sheet, Bard Walker instinctively continued the conversation.
"Flossie Wright," Ella Pemberton took the two answer sheets back.
"Oh, you mean her family situation?" Bard Walker suddenly realized.
Ella Pemberton sighed.
Pausing for a moment, Bard Walker asked, "It’s her grandfather that doesn’t want her to be a frogman, right?"
"Yeah," Ella Pemberton nodded, then the more she thought about it, the more helpless she felt. "It’s not just her grandfather. Her parents were already against it, but the grandfather insisted she serve for two years, so she joined. Now with him against it, her parents are likely to be even more determined."
"Her grandfather..." Bard Walker paused slightly, his expression becoming serious, "Is he concerned about her safety?"
"There’s no other reason," Ella Pemberton shook her head. "You know her grandfather’s standing; he’s a decorated hero. To have his descendants serve a couple of years in the military is for their development, just to broaden their horizons, nothing more; he never really intended for them to take risks in this line of work. Moreover, Flossie Wright is a woman."
