With Flossie Wright’s help and revisions, Becca Reyes’ self-criticism barely passed. Reading it out loud in front of everyone was an even bigger struggle. Every word she read turned her face a shade darker, exasperated at the length of the critique, not realizing that Flossie, who had finished hers first, had simply skipped over parts whilst reading.
"Becca Reyes, why is your attitude not sincere at all?!"
Neal Thompson slapped the table and stood up from the stone stool he was sitting on after listening to Becca Reyes read several paragraphs, angrily shouting at her.
Having just listened to Flossie Wright recite her criticism with the same tone as a news broadcaster, Neal Thompson was already unhappy. But considering Flossie’s contribution to rescuing Mia Lawson, he decided not to pursue it further.
However, Neal Thompson found Becca Reyes even less sincere than Flossie. As he owed her nothing, he could not stand it any longer!
Becca Reyes raised an eyebrow and took two steps towards him. Her charming face cracked a seductive smile, "So do you want to show me how it’s done?"
Neal Thompson was taken aback and then his anger intensified.
How dare this woman soldier talk to him like this during self-criticism? She must definitely be emboldened!
Neal Thompson’s face folded into a stormy scowl, his eyes practically blazing, "I’m your squad leader, do you see your attitude?!"
Becca Reyes seemed to ask in surprise, "Is my attitude bad?"
He grit his teeth in intense rage, his eyes almost firing up. Neal Thompson was extremely irritated.
"Alright, continue reading."
The class captain cut off their conflict at the right moment, a hint of impatience crossing his face.
He was the highest-ranking person in the class, in control of all of them. Naturally, even the assistant class leader had to follow his instructions. Becca Reyes, whom the assistant class leader had targeted, provocatively glanced at him and continued reading her self-criticism.
As for her attitude...
She did seem to feign some sincerity.
When the tiresome self-criticism session ended, everyone in the cooking class, who had been bored to death, burst into applause. They didn’t know if they were genuinely praising the self-criticism or celebrating their own liberation. Either way, the critique session had ended abruptly.
What followed was a high point of the cooking class, with the class captain giving a speech, commending Flossie Wright’s heroic act today.
The class captain was well aware of what had transpired, but he refrained from sharing it with other members of the cooking class. After tonight, other soldiers who knew about this incident would be cautioned by their class captains not to mention it anymore.
The boring class meeting finally came to an end amidst the animated praise, and as soon as the class captain declared the end of the session, the entire venue quickly became lively-
"Captain, since we, the cooking class, have finally made a significant contribution, shouldn’t we celebrate?"
"We can also treat it as a welcome party for these two excellent newcomers. Captain, as long as you nod, we will immediately serve you."
"We have all the meat and vegetables in the cafeteria, the barbecue grill is ready, and even the funds for buying ingredients are ready. Do you plan to give us a nod?"
Instantly, all the enthusiastic voices burst out, and they were excitedly making proposals. It seems that as long as the class captain gave a nod, they would feel as if they had got a huge bargain.
"Keep your voices down." The class captain stood up and issued a stern warning.
Suddenly, the whole class seemed liberated. Those who were warned the moment before, the next moment they were enthusiastically cheering and rushing to the kitchen to fetch ingredients. Even the usually quiet Yvonne Watson had a smile on her face. As if being infected by this atmosphere, she could not help but be overjoyed.
