Due to his intimidation, the trainees glanced at him, then at Sandy Cruz’s back, and finally had no choice but to obediently return to their original positions to inspect and shoot their guns.
"Sister Jessie, Sister Jessie."
Iris Dukes, standing next to Jessie Grain, quietly peeked over and asked Jessie Grain.
Iris Dukes was close to Flossie Wright and Belinda Nichols, so she naturally got to know Jessie Grain and Mariana Buck, understanding that if anything was up with Mariana Buck, Jessie Grain would likely know.
So, driven by curiosity, she instinctively sought out Jessie Grain.
"What’s up?"
While assembling her gun, Jessie Grain responded to her.
"Do you know why Sister Mariana is leaving?"
Iris Dukes asked with wide eyes.
But at the same time, she didn’t stop her actions.
The two looked at each other with the gun parts laid out before them, yet their movements didn’t slow in the slightest; on the contrary, they seemed rather relaxed.
It was quite stimulating.
"I know." Jessie Grain nodded, her expression very gentle.
Iris Dukes was about to ask but caught sight of Joshua Bailey approaching.
Instinctively, Iris Dukes fell silent, pursing her lips and lowering her head, diligently assembling the gun in her hands but with obvious signs of some panic.
Like a student caught by the teacher while doing something sneaky.
Jessie Grain couldn’t help but chuckle.
This little move was naturally seen by Joshua Bailey’s eyes; as he walked by nonchalantly, he couldn’t help but glance at Iris Dukes a few times, finally shaking his head helplessly.
This little physical anomaly, really quite interesting.
Feeling Joshua Bailey walk past, Iris Dukes let out a long sigh of relief after he left her line of sight.
"Sister Jessie, can you tell me?"
Immediately leaning to see Jessie Grain, Iris Dukes quickly asked.
With a light laugh, Jessie Grain raised her finger, placing it near her lips, and said mysteriously, "It’s a secret."
"Oh," Iris Dukes blinked, scratched her short hair, and nodded rather disappointedly, "Alright then."
"Train well." Jessie Grain instructed softly.
Iris Dukes responded.
"Then..." After being silent for two seconds, Iris Dukes leaned over again, continuing to ask, "When is Sister Mariana leaving?"
"Tomorrow morning," Jessie Grain patiently replied, looking at her bright eyes, unable to hold back a laugh, and added, "She doesn’t need to be seen off."
Looked quite troubled, Iris Dukes obediently nodded, "Oh."
Did not continue asking.
The rest of the day, others also approached Jessie Grain to inquire. Although they possibly hadn’t been close to Mariana Buck, they were aware of her abilities, and now with her sudden departure, they couldn’t help but come and ask her friends.
Jessie Grain answered very appropriately from start to finish.
However, regarding the reason for Mariana Buck’s departure, she didn’t reveal a single word.
Sandy Cruz was gone for an afternoon and an evening.
So, that night, Flossie Wright focused intently on her notes.
After all, they couldn’t be copied in full.
Until returning in the evening did Flossie Wright see Mariana Buck.
Not in the dormitory, but downstairs of the dormitory.
Sandy Cruz had escorted Mariana Buck back, coincidentally encountering Flossie Wright.
"Flossie Wright."
Originally wanting to leave directly, Flossie Wright was stopped by Mariana Buck.
Flossie Wright paused.
"I need to talk to you about something."
Solely fixing her gaze on Flossie Wright, Mariana Buck said in a rather calm manner, word by word.
