The next early morning, Flossie Wright and Becca Reyes were promptly woken up by the sound of a banging metal basin.
As the cooking class needed to prepare breakfast early, they always woke up relatively early. As members of the cooking class, Flossie Wright and Becca Reyes couldn’t ignore their duties. Even though they were granted permission to join the new recruit training, they still had chores to do.
Therefore, even though they no longer needed to help in the kitchen, Flossie had to go out and purchase supplies, and Becca had to feed the animals she was responsible for.
By the time they finished all this, the recruits’ morning training had already begun.
"I have a feeling that we are going to demonstrate the meaning of ’tired like a dog’."
After feeding the pigs, Becca, while stretching and walking towards the assembly area on the field, did not forget to drag Flossie into the situation.
Flossie glanced at her slantingly, with no intention of responding to her, even quickening her pace.
On the field, as the wake-up call sounded, several teams were continuously assembling. Flossie and Becca found the standstill Nathan Foster and obediently took their places beside him.
In less than two minutes, all the new recruits had assembled completely.
The recruits were separated by gender, forming two square formations. The contrast between tall and short, robust and petite, was striking in the two groups.
Without a doubt, almost as soon as the two groups had formed and heard Nathan Foster’s command to stand at ease, all their eyes landed on the two in front – Flossie and Becca.
They knew Flossie and Becca were cooks and that they had passed the assessment. Still, they were unclear about their specific situation and puzzled about why they were qualified to stand alongside them.
Flossie’s shooting skills were commendable, but according to the recruits who came out with her, she was a fruitless existence apart from her shooting skills. As for Becca, there weren’t many people who even knew her. Besides being pretty, there was nothing remarkable about her.
So, to them, these two were naturally weak. The image of them with aprons on, holding a ladle next to the stove, was exactly that of a typical housewife.
They really did not expect anything from them.
"These two standing beside me, I believe you all know them." After a long while, Nathan Foster finally spoke, his voice loud and majestic. After a pause, he continued in a warning tone, "Of course, it doesn’t matter if you don’t know them. You’re all here to train to become our country’s powerful weapons, not to make friends and have good relationships!"

The moment his words ceased, an eerie silence fell over everyone.
Instantly, each recruit took their gaze away and stared straight ahead, treating Flossie and Becca as if they were invisible.
"You two, move to the back."
Nathan Foster looked at Flossie and Becca, saying in a cold voice.
Asserting dominance!
Outright asserting dominance!
Becca’s eyebrows twitched slightly with some disagreement, but seeing that Flossie had already naturally moved to the back, she didn’t single-out herself by staying put; instead, she stood behind with Flossie.
After coldly sweeping his gaze over all the new recruits, Nathan Foster didn’t waste any more time arranging the ranks and raised his voice, "5,000-meter cross-country run, armed, start!"
