It seemed to be the case indeed.
Both of them were originally from the cooking class, theoretically, they weren’t eligible to participate in the selection process. Moreover, they had their own workload from cooking class to handle. In comparison to those new recruits in training, they definitely didn’t have enough time.
They may have been exceptional and special, but not so much as to participate in the selection process for new recruits as a cook.
"Oh, right, about Janice..." patting his forehead, Winsley Scott turned to look in Flossie Wright’s direction, his facial expression turning more serious, "I asked her peers, it seems that she has outstanding grades, but poor communication skills, so she’s isolated."
Ever since Flossie had witnessed Janice being bullied in the rain, she had wanted to unravel the cause of it all. However, considering Janice’s nature, even if she actually saw others mistreating her, she would never admit it. Hence, Flossie never meant to ask her about it.
So, after running into Winsley yesterday, Flossie took the chance to inquire about this matter. It was apparent that this was the first time Winsley had heard about it. He promptly took up this task to find out more, even though it was actually the handsome Rowdy Brightwill who ended up doing the groundwork...
"Is that all?" Flossie lifted an eyebrow.
Among that group of new recruits, each one was carefully selected. Janice’s capabilities were good enough, but not to the point where people would feel envious or jealous. With a bit of effort, anyone could catch up to her. As for being isolated, it seemed even less likely. With Janice’s character, she stayed unscathed for three months in the new recruits’ unit. Although her presence wasn’t particularly strong, nobody dared to bully her arbitrarily.
"That’s it!" Rowdy jumped in decisively to confirm it, nodding affirmatively for emphasis.
"Ha," Becca Reyes couldn’t help but laugh from the sidelines. She casually draped her arm over Flossie’s shoulder, addressing the two men, "Do you two think we’re fools? Just because of this, do those new recruits have to pick on her so much?"
"That’s..." Winsley got a bit flustered, instinctively looking in Rowdy’s direction. Their behavior clearly confirmed that they were lying, and it seemed like this matter had something to do with Flossie too.
Becca stroked her chin and cut to the chase, "It’s about Flossie, right?"
"Yes." Concern flickered in Rowdy’s eyes, his expression growing serious, "On the second day of your arrival, both Captains invited Flossie, remember?"
Becca and Flossie exchanged a glance. Only a few days had passed, so naturally, they remembered the incident.
Pausing for a moment, Rowdy continued, "Later, some female recruits discussed you behind your back, arguably with unkind words. Janice happened to catch them and gave them a good beating."
Becca’s eyes widened in surprise. The first time she met Janice, she was a frail figure in the rain, appearing as if she could be blown away at any moment and now...
Heh, who would have thought. Not just loyal, but her courage was also not to be underestimated!
Flossie fell silent, a thoughtful look crossing her face.
"You wouldn’t actually go pick a fight with them, would you?" Winsley leaned forward, his bright eyes darting around, masking the worry behind them, "I believe Janice doesn’t want you to get involved in this. Since she hasn’t told you about it, she doesn’t want you to know."
Flossie slightly looked up, her gaze landing on Captain Bard in the distance, "It’s time for your training."
Just as her voice fell, the whistle blew, reminding them it indeed was time for their training.
Rowdy and Winsley simultaneously studied Flossie for a while. It wasn’t until the whistle blew for the third time that they finally turned and headed towards their respective teams.
