Her shooting skills were excellent, yet she was a physical train wreck. What should he even say about that?
The upcoming trainings were harsh. The logs they had to carry weighed hundreds of pounds. It would definitely be challenging for two female soldiers to carry these logs for kilometers. Yet, as the only two members here, Glenn Hutchinson wasn’t going to help them. So, they had to clench their teeth and endure the weight crushing their shoulders, running agonizingly slow on the track as if they were ants carrying a load.
Glenn Hutchinson was walking beside them with his graceful stride, moving slow yet somehow still faster than them. After a while, he casually spoke, "If you can’t finish the circuit in ten minutes, you don’t need to continue the training."
Becca Reyes, who was running in front, looked up at him in surprise with a face that clearly said ’you must be joking.’
During their previous training, this segment was the hardest and slowest. They’d been running at a pace even slower than now, with the log, and it took at least twenty minutes. At that time, Glenn Hutchinson was silent the whole way. All he did when they arrived at the finish line was give them a seemingly bored look.
What did he mean by "If you can’t finish the circuit in ten minutes, you don’t need to continue the training"?
Because their performance wasn’t up to par? Or were they too pathetic?

Regardless of the reasons, just the thought of the possibility of Glenn Hutchinson refusing to help at any moment startled Becca Reyes. She immediately mustered all her strength, sped up, and asked Glenn, "How many minutes have passed?"
Glenn glanced at his stopwatch and said calmly, "Seven minutes."
Upon hearing the time, Becca Reyes estimated the distance they had already covered; it was barely a third of the total.
This is bad!
Stunned by the news, Becca Reyes couldn’t afford to delay any longer. She picked up the pace, carrying the log as if she were flying. Becca Reyes ended up dragging them through most of the remaining distance.
Flossie Wright, who was following from behind, wanted to remind Becca Reyes that Glenn Hutchinson, the jerk, was lying to her. It had only been about five minutes. But as soon as she opened her mouth, the cold wind rushed in, and her breathing rhythm began to falter. After a moment of hesitation, she finally decided not to say anything but quicken her pace to keep up with Becca Reyes instead.
As a result, with Becca Reyes leading their plight, what took them twenty minutes in the last session only took eight minutes. They reached the finish line in a hurry.
Flossie Wright, panting heavily, wanted to strangle Becca Reyes for her stupidity.
"Captain Hutchinson, did we pass?" Becca Reyes, who had just put down the log, eagerly asked about their results, totally disregarding her somewhat altered voice.
"Barely," Glenn Hutchinson replied seriously, making it sound as if they had just scraped by.
Such an attitude naturally made Becca Reyes nervous. But Flossie Wright, who was leaning on her knees and taking deep breaths of fresh air, was calmly adjusting her rhythm, trying to recover her strength as quickly as possible. She didn’t care about Glenn Hutchinson’s attitude at all.
After all, it was rare for anyone to believe this jerk’s words.
Sparing them no time to rest, Glenn brought them to two boxes of hand grenades two minutes later. After demonstrating how to throw one, he stood silently on the side, quietly evaluating their throwing results, but he didn’t seem to care much.
