Rebecca Reyes straightened her chest and yelled: "We haven’t had breakfast yet, so we can’t guarantee sufficient stamina!"
Nathan Foster, who thought she had something serious to say, heard this and instantly grew angry. His face darkened even more, he roared at Rebecca Reyes: "If you’re giving up now, you can go back and eat!"
"Then we’ll finish the swim and eat afterwards." Rebecca Reyes squinted her eyes and wisely took a step back.
Of course, she just wanted to let this instructor be properly angry. After all, having them tormented later on, while he relaxed and watched on the sidelines, would not be fair, would it?
"Into the water!"
Nathan Foster grunted coldly without wasting more time on the shore, and they directly started what was to be their longest, and most arduous, armed sea crossing.
As two people who sympathized with each other’s hardships, Flossie and Rebecca Reyes reached out their fists in agreement, hitting them together in mid-air, seeming like a mix of encouragement and provocation, before immediately heading towards the sea without looking back.
The orange-red sunlight broke through the coastline, the light refracted from the layered fog, sprinkling warmly over them. It shrouded them in a hazy silhouette, making even their contours appear profound.
Nathan Foster stood still, watching them enter the sea. After contemplating for a while, he also walked into the vast sea.
He knew the kind of willpower needed to complete ten kilometers, he also knew that this mission was arduoous for them. Since the basic tests weren’t an issue for them, why not let him see exactly how resolute and persistent they were?
To a soldier, knowing the difficulty of the task and still having the courage to move forward is the most important thing. No matter how powerful you are, if you show signs of retreat on the battlefield, all your strength will become worthless without any room to be demonstrated.
The training of Frogmen usually changes very little. What kind of training they have at any given time is clearly arranged. But since Glenn Hutchinson, the unexpected visitor, came, the life of the Frogmen changed dramatically. They never knew what they would face after completing the current task.
Just like right now. Perhaps on a whim, Glenn Hutchinson brought his team and the Frogmen to the seaside for armed sea crossing. If ten kilometers were completed within two hours, it would be alright but if they exceeded the time, they would face punishments without mercy, no matter if it’s one of his own or a Frogman.
Rowdy Brightwill and the others saw Flossie and Rebecca Reyes on their way back, they were awakened by the whistle early in the morning and hadn’t closed their eyes since then. Despite being extremely tough, they were famished, desperately rowing their boat to get back.
However, when they saw the two female soldiers undergoing armed sea crossing in the sea, their movements involuntarily slowed down.
"What the hell is going on? Why are they with Nathan Foster?"
The first to speak out was Winsley Scott. He watched the two figures moving in the sea at a slow pace, but without any signs of stopping. After vaguely recognizing the two figures, the usually cheerful face of Winsley Scott turned sullen; the mere thought of what they were doing made him feel tired on their behalf.
"Test." Drake Easton’s gaze lingered on the three silhouettes in the sea, his voice slow and steady. "They’re taking a test today. If they pass, they’ll join the new recruit training."
"Wow," Winsley Scott gasped and couldn’t get his eyes off them. He couldn’t resist expressing his shock. "Seriously? Do they really want to bring trouble upon themselves?"
