"Flossie Wright!"
𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
Having just disassembled several guns and put them back into the box, Flossie Wright helplessly responded.
Cassie Ferguson’s voice was so loud that she, of course, heard it loud and clear.
She had a good idea of what was going on.
Ever since she had arrived at the Forces, she had always been used as a negative example, and it was rare for someone to want to use her as a positive one. The idea felt somewhat awkward to Flossie Wright.
Standing up, Flossie Wright turned towards Dallion Collins, standing straight and still.
Turning to the side, Dallion Collins glanced at her from afar and commanded in a clear voice, "Come here."
"Yes, sir!"
Flossie Wright responded vigorously.
Following that, she clenched her fists and placed them on her hips, trotting forward until she stood firm in front of Dallion Collins, then relaxed her fists and let her arms fall.
She stood there, perfectly straight.
Cassie Ferguson gave her a sideways glance, her expression somewhat disdainful.
Having been specially called out, Cassie Ferguson could guess why.
She figured this unlucky person had encountered the same situation as herself and hadn’t reported it to the Instructor.
Truthfully, she believed that such behavior, letting oneself suffer just to find hardship, was completely idiotic.
The last time Flossie Wright stood up for Chloe Bell, Cassie Ferguson thought she was meddling in other people’s business.
"You encountered the same situation," Dallion Collins stared at Flossie Wright, asking slowly and distinctly, "why didn’t you report it to me instead of choosing to lose?"
Because she had never thought she would lose!
Flossie Wright replied in her mind.
Even if unexpected circumstances arose, if she could handle them, why stop the competition and look for excuses to start all over?
However, this time her fingers had suffered a bit of an accident, losing all sensation from the cold while she thawed the Gun Barrel.
Her reaction was a bit slow.
That’s how she lost to Jessie Grain.
But Flossie Wright was smart.
She couldn’t tell everything, nor could she remain completely silent.
Slightly narrowing her eyebrows, Flossie Wright’s expression grew serious as she looked up, meeting Dallion Collins’ slightly threatening gaze. She spoke with conviction, "Because I don’t care."
Taken by surprise by the unexpected answer, Dallion Collins paused before asking with renewed interest, "You don’t care about winning or losing?"
"No," Flossie Wright contradicted, her voice becoming firmer, "I don’t care that this is just training."
Dallion Collins was mildly surprised.
Joshua Bailey, who had been slowly walking over, heard her and couldn’t help but look at Flossie Wright in astonishment.
Did that mean...
She treated training as if it were real combat?
Did she possess that level of awareness?
It wasn’t that Joshua Bailey didn’t trust her, but he had previously heard Willie Ash talk about many things concerning Flossie Wright.
From the moment he saw Flossie Wright, Joshua Bailey viewed her as a troublemaker, always prepared to face the potential issues she might create.
Naturally, he didn’t think much of her awareness.
Of course, if he were to share this thought with Glenn Hutchinson, chances were he wouldn’t be standing here unharmed right now.
"You didn’t speak up, now you’ve lost. But, if you had, there would’ve been a chance to win," Dallion Collins said earnestly to Flossie Wright, hypothesizing. Following that, he asked very seriously, "So, do you regret it now?"
"I don’t regret it."
Flossie Wright answered decisively and straightforwardly.
During the competition, she treated it as a real battle. And once the results were out, she should be relieved that it was a contest that wasn’t a matter of life or death.
She could understand why Cassie Ferguson stood up to propose "another try," and she also didn’t think calmly accepting it was foolish behavior.
