The following day, 9 A.M.
The group that had been eliminated was sent away.
Having been together for nearly a month, most of them had developed deep revolutionary bonds. Even if they could no longer continue to fight alongside, it did not prevent them from seeing off their departing comrades with a sense of tragic resolve.
Flossie Wright did not go.
Even though among that group was Stuart Weston, whom she had met back in the new recruits company.
She didn’t feel the need to see Stuart off.
Because his goal was to return home; he was probably eager to do so.
This kind of farewell would not be marked by sadness or reluctance.
Seeing off took some time, and after it was done, Joshua Bailey gathered a group together and distributed their mobile phones to everyone.
It was holiday time, and with the New Year approaching, Joshua Bailey said they were a humane force, so they were giving out phones to allow them a chance to contact their families.
Flossie Wright was not interested in calling home; she took her phone to charge it.
Afterward, she stayed at the Training Ground until the afternoon before returning.
From a distance, she saw Rowdy Brightwill standing up from the stairs, waving at her with a beaming smile.
Flossie Wright paused for a moment, then walked over with measured steps.

"What is it?"
As she approached the bottom of the stairs, Flossie Wright looked up at Rowdy Brightwill, who stood on the third step.
Descending two steps, Rowdy Brightwill’s smile faded slightly.
"Did you call home?" Rowdy Brightwill asked, beating around the bush.
She replied indifferently and sat down beside Rowdy Brightwill on the steps.
"This," Rowdy Brightwill hesitated, then quickly moved to sit beside Flossie Wright, "your parents... they know you’re here."
"And then?"
Flossie Wright raised her eyebrows, unsurprised.
Having been away from Eddy Codalt for so long, and considering Grandfather Wright’s influence, it was easy for them to find out about her situation.
Rowdy Brightwill turned to face her, looking earnestly into her eyes as he spoke, "They want you to give them a call."
That morning, as soon as he had charged his phone, Rowdy Brightwill called home.
The Brightwill Family knew he had joined the special forces, but because the unit’s name was secret, he could not disclose much to his family, nor did he speak of the challenges faced by the Forces.
When his family inquired, he deflected the conversation, so it didn’t take long before the topic shifted to Flossie Wright.
That’s when things took a turn for the worse.
It was said that upon learning Flossie Wright had joined the special forces without a word, everyone in the Wright Family, aside from Grandfather Wright, Regan Wright, and Olivia Hamilton, were beside themselves with worry.
It was said that Aunt Olivia was weighed down with worries every day at home, crying her eyes out thinking about the hardships Flossie would have to endure in the Forces.
Of course—
Rowdy Brightwill also knew much of this was an exaggeration.
Still, he could understand Aunt Olivia’s concerns for Flossie.
What parent doesn’t worry about their children?
Fortunately, Grandfather Wright didn’t quite grasp the modern Forces, and Rowdy Brightwill especially embellished the peace of today’s society. He later made a concerted call to reassure Aunt Olivia, describing the special forces in a highly flattering light.
That somehow managed to put Aunt Olivia’s mind at ease, to a large extent.
But, after much thought, Rowdy Brightwill still felt that it would be best for Flossie Wright to make the call herself and explain everything clearly.
"I’ll think about it."
Flossie Wright rubbed her forehead.
She hadn’t planned to call back home just to explain this.
The main reason was that it was too much of a hassle.
