He was directly facing the squad ahead.
"Well then," said Joshua Bailey with a laugh, draping an elbow on Fandy Dale’s shoulder and patting his chest, "In view of this, ah, Comrade Fandy Dale, for talking back to the Deputy Instructor and failing to understand the troubles of the Chief Instructor, therefore... as a punishment, run thirty laps around our parade ground."
Fandy Dale’s face changed instantly.
But Joshua Bailey hadn’t finished speaking, so he gave Fandy Dale a sidelong glance, silencing his retort.
"We are the Forces, and in the Forces, unity is the foundation. So, as the Deputy Instructor, I have decided that you all will join him." Joshua Bailey then raised his eyes again, sweeping them over all the members in formation, asking with a smile, "No objections, right?"
Silence, silence.
The silence of death.
In such a large troop, not a single rebuttal was heard, yet those pairs of eyes looked as if they wanted to devour Joshua Bailey.
Fuck no objections!
Thirty laps?
On an ordinary day, they’d run fifty laps for you, but what’s the situation now?
They had been cold all day, having crawled around in the Snowfield with very little clothing, hoping for a hot shower and a warm meal—alas, the Deputy Instructor had a real "kind" heart, entertaining them with thirty laps!
God damn it, why was the urge to hit him so strong?
"Not talking means you agree then."
After waiting for them a few seconds and seeing no one with objections, Joshua Bailey spoke, somewhat disappointed.
Not interesting at all.
He had hoped to meet a few stubborn ones and make an example of them on the first day.
But unexpectedly—
Tsk, so obedient.
As he was thinking this, he suddenly heard a voice from within the troop.
Moreover, it was a chilly female voice.
Raising an eyebrow, Joshua Bailey stepped back to look interestedly in the direction of the voice.
However, upon clearly seeing the person, his expression stiffened slightly.
He knew this female soldier.
Cassie Ferguson.
He had seen her in maneuvers before, not as grueling as Flossie Wright, but her strength was nonetheless considerable.
Even standing among the crowd, her presence was imposing, her expression as cold as frost, and her gaze icy, with a touch of lethality.
Pulling his thoughts back, Joshua Bailey said coolly.
"This way of fostering unity is meaningless," Cassie Ferguson said unemotionally, her words firm and powerful.
"You say," Joshua Bailey watched her with interest.
"This is a common method for the Forces, true, but you are not a regular force," Cassie Ferguson stated calmly.
"I object to these kinds of actions that inflict harm on the innocent."
Listening to her decisive reply, Joshua Bailey couldn’t help but raise his eyebrow.
This whole faulty reasoning was rather roundabout yet seemed quite logical.
Inflicting harm on the innocent...
Wasn’t she just indirectly accusing him of being unreasonable?
After a pause, Joshua Bailey asked, "Don’t want to run?"
"Yes," Cassie Ferguson did not hide it.
"Alright," Joshua Bailey nodded with a smile, "I approve, you don’t have to run."
He agreed so easily.
And there were no additional punishments.
At that moment, everyone else present was stunned.
That easy to talk to?
Just a few words and she had persuaded him?
He didn’t seem like someone who could be "dazzled by beauty."
Standing next to Flossie Wright, Becca Reyes nudged her arm.
