Flossie Wright shrugged indifferently, "Sure, I can, but isn’t he in a meeting?"
The captain hesitated in his attempt to pull her, then looked at her incredulously, "How do you know that?"
How did this female soldier come to know such a thing?
Had she met the regiment commander already?
A hint of amusement shone in Flossie Wright’s eyes, tinged with a bit of mystery, "Military secret."
The captain’s face darkened, but at this moment, he really had no way to easily verify her claim.
She was slick, effectively shutting him down with a single "military secret."
He needed to think of a method!
"How about this," after thinking for a while, the captain rubbed his hands together, contemplating, then said to Flossie Wright, "Aren’t you a frogman? I suppose in terms of military skills, it’s very difficult to surpass our platoon. Compete with them, and if you can guarantee a complete victory, I’ll believe you, how about that?"
Chuckling lightly, Flossie Wright readily accepted.
If she were a captain, faced with such a situation, aside from using force, she would only have thought of this method.
Testing her ability was a minor issue, but making her stand out in a crowd, watched by many pairs of eyes, was what mattered most.
In case she tried anything, being surrounded by so many people would make it much easier to handle.
Anyway, by holding her up until the regiment commander’s meeting was over and then escorting her there, it would amount to the same thing.
And it was reasonable.
If they subdued her now and her identity turned out to be authentic, it could lead to an ugly scene.
"Wait a moment."
The captain pointed at her, signaling for her to stay put.
He stepped back a few times, glancing at Flossie Wright occasionally, as if he feared she might run away.
Flossie Wright stood still, waiting for his next move.
Shortly after, the captain called out towards the drill field, and a platoon leader who was playing ball responded immediately, running over to him.
The captain whispered something in his ear, and although it was unclear what was said, the young platoon leader glanced at Flossie Wright twice, nodded at the captain, and then ran off.
Calling out names while blowing his whistle, he drew the attention of everyone on the drill field to himself.
Only after the group had assembled did he designate two individuals to go elsewhere and gather others, meanwhile explaining the situation to the rest in a low murmur.
Finally, he pointed toward Flossie Wright.
Instantly, pairs of bright eyes all turned to look in Flossie Wright’s direction.
Curious, assessing, challenging, excited ...
The emotions varied.
Being watched by them, Flossie Wright stood casually in place, composed and at ease.
"Comrade, what are you good at?"
After a short while, the captain came over and inquired of Flossie Wright.
Flossie Wright frowned as if she were seriously considering the question, then finally narrowed her eyes, saying with a fair bit of sincerity, "I’m proficient in everything."
Right then, the captain almost spat out blood in frustration.
He had never seen such arrogance!
The captain felt internally injured by her words and, unavoidably, his complexion grew a few shades darker, his demeanor lacking the previous cordiality.

As for Flossie Wright, she was indifferent.
Actually, it wasn’t that she was being too arrogant; compared to the selected trainees, Flossie Wright perhaps fell short in terms of physical strength, but that was the only area.
Flossie Wright was adept at any skills-based task.
For the time being, she really couldn’t think of any area of army training that she wasn’t good at.
