Under the leaping flames, three figures sat around the campfire, leaving only black silhouettes.
They were Flossie Wright, Sandy Cruz, and Rowdy Brightwill.
They looked quite relaxed.
As for the several people behind them, they still stood upright and motionless, as if they were their most loyal guards.
Good gracious!
And in front of them, over the campfire, was a rabbit that had just been skinned.
It was still fresh.
Joshua Bailey noticed that Glenn Hutchinson’s face darkened to the extreme when he saw the campfire and the rabbit.
At the same time—
By the campfire.
"Here, Captain Hutchinson."
Rowdy Brightwill tossed a piece of wood into the campfire and, at the same time, raised his eyebrows to Flossie and said.
After all, he had seen clearly that, as long as they were still in the selection period, Glenn Hutchinson was everyone’s rival, and there was no need to worry about Flossie getting too close to Glenn.
And for him, opposing Glenn was quite a pleasure.
At worst, he would be punished!
He hadn’t done anything too serious, and as long as he didn’t give Glenn too much of a handle, Glenn couldn’t possibly kick him out.
"We haven’t broken any rules."
Sitting by the campfire, Flossie said indifferently.
Knowing that Glenn had come back, Flossie wasn’t about to dig a hole for herself and then jump in willingly.
As long as the rules didn’t specify, they could exploit loopholes.
Did Joshua Bailey say they had to eat in the canteen?
Did Joshua Bailey say they weren’t allowed to get their own food outside?
Did Joshua Bailey say they weren’t allowed to fix themselves a midnight snack?
Still no.

So, their actions appeared utterly justified.
They were hungry from training, and there was nothing in the canteen, so couldn’t they just reward themselves in preparation for the energy needed for the next day’s training?
Of course—
Flossie wouldn’t admit that she was just trying to annoy Glenn on purpose.
Having no way to release her anger, she had to find another way.
"Do we have any seasonings?"
Skipping over their conversation, Sandy suddenly asked.
"No," Rowdy Brightwill said helplessly.
Flossie shrugged her shoulders.
If they wanted seasonings, they would have to go to the kitchen.
If it was the Marine Corps, Flossie could get them in a minute, but here—
To avoid "stealing chickens only to end up losing rice," where not only would they fail to get the seasonings but also get reported by the kitchen to Glenn, that wasn’t a joke.
"How are your cooking skills?"
Dragging two pieces of dry wood to the side, Flossie thought for a moment and then asked Rowdy Brightwill.
"Not bad," Rowdy Brightwill replied with modesty.
"Then you handle it."
Raising her hand, Flossie pointed at the rabbit over the campfire and directly tossed the mission his way.
Rowdy Brightwill quickly agreed.
Having eaten meals Flossie had personally prepared, Rowdy Brightwill thought that Flossie giving him this task was actually an acknowledgment of her own limitations.
Why Flossie didn’t choose Sandy for this task, he didn’t give it much thought.
The three of them started to get busy.
Rowdy Brightwill was in charge of roasting the rabbit, while Flossie and Sandy went to fetch dry wood, continuing to feed the campfire.
The surrounding snow had long since melted, and the melted snow on the ground had evaporated, making their actions increasingly effortless.
They all heightened their vigilance, waiting.
