According to rumors, Stuart Weston had a fight with Calvin Ramos, which was simply an exchange of blows meant for practice, but Calvin went too far with his heavy-handed approach, and Stuart, being stubborn and unwilling to admit defeat, resisted until his injuries were severe enough to require hospitalization.
In short, they were both responsible.
In Becca Reyes’s view, things were definitely not that simple.
She immediately gave up her game of chess, inquired about the situation from her roommate, and headed straight to the hospital.
As for Flossie Wright, looking at the half-finished chess game, she pondered for a moment, then raised her eyebrows and turned to Belinda Nichols, who was standing by watching.
"Care to try?" Flossie asked with interest.
After glancing at her, Belinda nodded and smoothly took a seat on a nearby chair.
However, after one game, Flossie frowned in confusion and stared at Belinda in disbelief.
Flossie, who had previously been in a winning position, found herself cornered in less than ten minutes, faced with Belinda’s relentless checkmates, leaving her with no room to maneuver and completely captured.
"Hiding your light under a bushel?" Raising her eyebrows, Flossie smiled and conceded defeat.

Belinda said honestly.
She had learned to play chess from a young age, something Flossie, merely an amateur, could not match. Of course, Belinda didn’t know that Flossie’s chess-playing experiences were few and far between; her victory over Becca Reyes was purely attributed to her wits, without any real experience to speak of.
But it was just a pastime, a mere chess game, so Belinda didn’t say more.
"I’m going out for a bit."
Glancing at the finished chessboard, Flossie stood up from the chair.
Knowing what she was planning to do, Belinda, not interested in getting involved, simply responded, "Okay."
Leaving Belinda with the task of packing up, Flossie put on a coat and left.
Becca Reyes arrived outside Stuart Weston’s rescue room.
Upon her arrival, she saw several frogmen waiting outside; scanning the group, she did not see Daniel Ramos, the one who caused Stuart’s current condition.
"How is he?"
Recognizing someone she knew, Becca approached and asked the frogman.
"Don’t know, should be no risk to his life," the frogman replied instinctively, but noticing Becca’s furrowed brows, he added after a moment’s thought, "Don’t worry, he’s tough as nails, he’ll be fine."
Which of them hadn’t been thrown around the Training Ground, accruing injuries all over?
Daniel had indeed been a bit too rough, but not to the point of killing anyone.
At any rate, Stuart was still somewhat conscious when they brought him to the hospital, so it was unlikely his life was in danger.
Becca nodded, burdened with heavy thoughts.
The incident that led to Stuart being rushed to the rescue room was really just a misunderstanding: he had been covered in blood, looking so dreadful that he was taken there, but the most serious injuries were just a few broken ribs and a fractured tibia in his left leg.
He just needed a period of rest.
Even in what the frogmen considered a "no big deal" state, after coming out of the rescue room, the doctor who had treated Stuart still severely scolded the frogmen waiting outside.
"It’s just a training exercise! You call this training, dealing such heavy blows to the kid? What were you thinking?!"
"Isn’t that bullying?!"
The group was left without words, unsure of how to explain themselves, and could only inwardly curse "Calvin Ramos," blaming him for the mishap.
