Captain Lin initially thought their assessments were all basic, like shooting and grappling. But he never expected that Nathan Foster would be so tough...
Damn, it’s just an assessment, is it really necessary?!
Captain Lin silently doubled the menu for Flossie Wright and Becca Reyes in his mind.
Rowdy Brightwill nodded, giving Captain Lin an affirmative answer again.

Honestly, he never thought those two could finish the task, which explains his initial big reaction.
What gave him a hint of enlightenment was Flossie Wright didn’t care about him and didn’t need his help at all.
He is not the kind of person to fixate on one point, so he started to reevaluate, wondering if his impulsive behavior was unnecessary or wrong.
So, he apologized to Nathan Foster. Then, he witnessed those two physically unfit female soldiers swimming to the finish line with his own eyes.
It’s not unthinkable. In the Forces, one could even say this is normal.
They underwent training that pushes them beyond their limits every day. Even when they were physically drained, the next day always brought even tougher training.
The best days are usually yesterday.
For them, every training was obligatory, and there’s no room for cowardice. Because once they backed down, it would be a spiritual ruin, and they could never catch up afterward.
He was just overly concerned about Flossie Wright and thought such brutal training was not suitable for her and should not be imposed on her. If the name "Flossie Wright" was replaced by any other name, his reaction wouldn’t be that big.
But, unbeknownst to him, Flossie Wright was no longer the pampered rich girl from home, nor the unruly defiant girl anymore.
He wasn’t sure if she could be considered a real soldier now, but at the very least, she has acquired certain qualities a soldier should have.
Captain Lin glanced at them outside, a hint of relief showing in his eyes.
As soldiers from the cooking class, they did not disgrace him at all!
Rowdy Brightwill had taken half a day off with no excuse, so naturally, he didn’t stay here for long. After saying a few words to Captain Lin, he voluntarily went to his Captain Bard for scolding without even eating lunch.
On the other hand, the treatment of Flossie Wright and Becca Reyes was quite different. As "soldiers" of the cooking class, they managed to pass the assessment under Nathan Foster’s targeting, which greatly loss to the cooking class. All the chefs couldn’t wait to demonstrate all their skills to comfort them.
Even the subordinate Neal Thompson and Yvonne Watson seemed to be infected by this atmosphere, their usual hostility and targeting decreased a bit.
Even though they couldn’t fully understand the excitement of Captain Lin and other chefs.
That afternoon, after Flossie Wright and Becca Reyes had their meal, Captain Lin gave them half a day off. They didn’t need to do any work, as long as they stayed in the Forces, they could wander anywhere they wanted.
Of course, without a doubt, after leaving the kitchen, Flossie Wright and Becca Reyes made an astonishingly unanimous choice—
Back to the dormitory to sleep.
The fatigue from the morning was not the main reason, anyway, their physical strength could recover after rest. But for them, this might be the only chance to rest in the short term.
Starting from tomorrow, they would have to run between the cooking class and the training ground. This would be much busier than their usual chores in the cooking class and sneaking in training from time to time. If they didn’t seize this time to rest fully, they would not have the opportunity later.
