"You’re asking for it!"
Nathan Foster fiercely wiped his mouth, spitting out bloody saliva, his expression enraged. He didn’t pause, his fist already heading towards Rowdy Brightwill.
In no time, the two were wrestling, starting on the surface and then moving underwater. The ocean was their battlefield, like soldiers adept on land, unbeatable. In the sea, they were invincible warriors; a single soldier would find it difficult to match them.
However, they were cut from the same cloth, trained in the same way.
Rowdy Brightwill was excellent. From the time he joined the Forces until now, he had always been at the top, nailing every training exercise. As for Nathan Foster, he was picked to be an instructor due to being one of the best in their team. Their underwater combat skills were matched, making it hard to determine a winner.
They tacitly agreed to fight without weapons. The push of the water cushioned their blows, not causing much pain, making it a purely physical fight.
A few dozen meters away.
Becca Reyes, nearly out of energy, slowed down. She turned to look for Nathan, but only saw spreading ripples. Nathan, who had always been behind her, was nowhere to be seen.

"What happened, where is he?" Becca Reyes stopped in surprise, looking around from her position on the surface of the water but not catching sight of Nathan anywhere. She frowned, "Did he drown?"
On the seemingly endless sea, a sudden disappearance would make anyone worry, even though Nathan was so skilled that he wouldn’t make such a rookie mistake. However, no matter how strong, anyone could cramp up or drown from exhaustion. Staying underwater too long poses its own dangers...
A live person vanished in the deceptively calm sea, causing worry.
Flossie Wright paused, her expression unfazed, "They’re fine."
"They...?" Becca Reyes raised her eyes in confusion, picking out the implied plural.
Besides the two of them, only Nathan had been following them. Where was this... "they" coming from?
With a short affirmative response, Flossie didn’t offer further explanation and continued to swim forward.
Becca Reyes, focused on surviving the swim, hadn’t noticed the Forces sailing off in the distance. Despite Flossie being weaker in terms of physical strength, she was sensitive to her surroundings. She’d heard the noise of a big movement, like Rowdy coming towards them.
However, she didn’t make out their conversation, only hearing the sound of swishing water. They probably moved their fight underwater.
"I’m saying, can you make things clear?"
Becca’s curiosity was piqued by Flossie’s vague comment. Seeing Flossie about to swimming away again, Becca moved her stiff arms faster to catch up.
This relentless questioning brought Flossie to a stop again.
But, before Becca got close, Flossie glanced at her, inhaled deeply and, without a word, dived under the water.
"Oh my god..."
Becca abruptly stopped, dumbstruck as she watched Flossie disappear. A strange feeling welled up in her.
Just now...
Flossie looked at her before diving, so she didn’t drown, right?
Apart from the spreading ripples, all that was left on the calm sea was a lonely figure: Becca Reyes.
Becca frowned, her abilities at holding her breath and diving were not her strongest suits. Now faced with this situation, she was at a loss.
However, Becca gritted her teeth as if making a decision, took a deep breath and then plunged into the water. But before she had a chance to make out the situation below, a fierce pain shot through her calf, almost causing her to black out.
