Did that mean Bard Walker ran for nothing?
It took awhile for Nathan Foster to get over the shock. Unconscious of his own actions, he gave a military salute to Bard Walker and replied sharply, "Yes, sir!"
Even after Bard Walker had left, having finished discussing the serious matters, Nathan Foster was still dumbfounded. Looking at the two trainees who had already reached the final obstacle, he couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.
The training ground during the day is mostly occupied by rookies. Neither Flossie Wright nor Becca Reyes had been seen there. If they were practicing earlier like Bard Walker had suggested, it must have been during the evening free period.
But, within that little window of time, how could they have reached this level of skill...
They finished the 400-meter beach landing obstacle in less than seven minutes.
"Attention! Stand at ease!" Seeing the two trainees running back towards him, Nathan Foster immediately gave the command, his eyes cold as he scrutinized them. "Next, combat swim for ten kilometers!"
Ten kilometers?
Becca Reyes was caught off guard, and she was about to ask Flossie Wright if she had heard wrongly when she heard her reply.
"Yes, sir!"
Very decisive, without any hesitation.
Decisiveness, Becca Reyes also shouted, "Yes, sir!"
Combat swim is a training process with weapons and equipment. Places like a rookie platoon would not normally have this kind of training. However, since Flossie Wright’s rookie platoon was in the navy, they had tried combat swim training before.
But, the furthest they swam was one kilometer.
To the inexperienced rookies, this seemed like an impossible mission.
The coast was tumultuous, with violent waves crashing against a high tide.
Flossie Wright and Becca Reyes were fully equipped, with twenty kilograms on their back. To them, this weight was negligible, but during the upcoming test, it would become a burden akin to hell.
"Report to the Instructor," Becca Reyes shouted at Nathan Foster after a few heavy glances at the boundless sea, "what results are we aiming for?!"
Although the roaring wind blew her words apart, each word still clearly reached Nathan Foster’s ears.
Nathan Foster responded without looking at her, "There is no time limit, as long as you complete it, you pass!"
After a while, Becca Reyes glanced at Flossie Wright’s lowered hand and nervously asked Nathan Foster, "Flossie Wright’s hand is injured, can we wear gloves?!"
"The real battlefield is not going to care if you’re injured or not! Remember this clearly, there are no exceptions during training, no reason is valid!"
Nathan Foster’s shout resonated powerfully, dominating with an overwhelming presence.
When push came to shove, no matter how unwilling, Becca Reyes could only grit her teeth and hold her tongue.
Just her luck to sustain an injury at such a crucial time, Flossie Wright really didn’t know what wrong turn she had taken.
Just as Nathan Foster was ready to start the exercise, a voice interrupted him. Annoyed, he glanced over and saw Becca Reyes’ determined expression. This caused his hand to involuntarily clench.
He had never met a soldier as troublesome as this one!
"Speak, if you have something to say!" Nathan Foster snapped, his face clearly displaying his annoyance.
