"Hmm." Nancy Phillips lifted her eyelids slightly, lacking the energy to inquire where she heard it from.
Having received confirmation, Callie Stewart squinted slightly, then tentatively asked, "What kind of person is she?"
"As you can see," Nancy Phillips answered lazily, "a freak."
"..." Callie Stewart did not respond.
Nancy Phillips paused for a moment, then added, "She’s a Sniper, used to be a mess cook."
"A mess cook?" Callie Stewart raised her eyebrows in surprise.
"Yes, came from a mess cook background, passed the Frogman Selection, became a Sniper..." At this point, Nancy Phillips seemed to recall something, her gaze distant, pausing for quite a while before saying, "In our place, she’s considered quite a legend."
Since Flossie Wright left, Nancy Phillips often heard people mention Flossie Wright, saying when she was with Eddy Codalt things felt fine, but once she left, it felt empty, like without a powerful Sniper supporting from behind, everything felt a bit restrained.
And without so many curious happenings.
The newcomers would sometimes question Veteran Soldiers about Flossie Wright’s legendary deeds, whether male or female, they held a certain curiosity towards someone like Flossie Wright.
They all wanted to know what kind of person can leave a deep impression on a team in such a short time.
However, Nancy Phillips didn’t say much more to Callie Stewart.
Without truly witnessing Flossie’s progress step by step, no matter how much one hears, there’s no real understanding, nor would they know the heights that woman had reached.
A thought crossed Nancy Phillips’ mind about Flossie Wright’s physical fitness.
With such a precise mind, creating such meticulous documents, then her physical fitness progressing from a Rookie to where she is now isn’t so unusual.
Thinking of this, Nancy Phillips glanced up and saw Jessie Grain standing by a tree up ahead.
"Nancy." Jessie Grain called softly, her voice gentle.
Nancy Phillips was slightly taken aback.
Meanwhile, Callie Stewart, perceptive as ever, walked straight ahead without hesitation.
Nancy Phillips approached Jessie Grain, looked into those gentle eyes, and called, "Jessie."
"What brings you here?" Jessie Grain asked with a smile, eyes twinkling.
"Just came to take a look." Nancy Phillips shrugged.
"Weren’t you..."
"So, just looking around." Nancy Phillips chuckled softly, interrupting her.
Jessie Grain raised her eyes, her gaze flowing, smiled lightly, but didn’t press any further.
Jessie Grain walked alongside Nancy Phillips, shoulder to shoulder, heading towards the direction of the dormitory.
"I just heard you’re among this batch of recruits," Jessie Grain said.
Without much attention to the new recruits naturally didn’t know who’s among them, tonight’s knowledge came only because Iris Dukes and Devina Millet unintentionally mentioned it in the cafeteria, she probed further to find out.

"Yes, wasn’t much fanfare," Nancy Phillips nodded, not caring much.
She became familiar with Jessie Grain during the Sniper training, and Nancy Phillips always found Jessie Grain somewhat inscrutable, only she knew how deep she truly was, yet Jessie Grain meant no harm, so Nancy Phillips felt relaxed even with little vigilance.
The two walked and chatted casually, Jessie Grain just came to see Nancy Phillips, no particular reason, talking about trivial matters.
But inevitably, the conversation shifted to Flossie Wright.
Nancy Phillips was amazed at Jessie Grain’s high praise of Flossie Wright, amazed at the speed of Flossie Wright’s promotion, even amazed at how two Captains obediently listened to Flossie’s instructions.
Yet Jessie Grain simply posed, "What if it were you?" prompting Nancy Phillips into silence.
If she were in their shoes, she’d undoubtedly share similar attitudes and evaluations as Jessie Grain and Joshua Bailey.
They were accustomed to dealing with realities, where rank and status seemed less significant.
Several days passed without any sign of Flossie Wright at the Training Ground.
With her training plan and someone responsible like Iris Dukes overseeing, she really had no need to appear.
So Flossie Wright focused her energies on intensive physical training.
As an Instructor, couldn’t let the recruits surpass her.
Until this round of self-training concluded, Flossie Wright appeared during the assessment.
On the very first day these recruits arrived, they underwent an assessment, initially eliminating nearly half. Now at the second round of assessment, they were clueless about what tricks the instructors might pull, feeling increasingly tense.
However, this tension was quite necessary.
Because, Aaron Doom’s instructors never stuck to the norm.
"Without passing grades," Joshua Bailey’s opening sentence shocked the new recruits, jaws dropping, yet Joshua Bailey, long accustomed, remained unfazed, continuing, "You’re responsible for completing these subjects, whether you stay or not that’s for us to decide."
"Report!" came a voice from the crowd.
Joshua Bailey cast a chilly glance at him.
"May I ask, without a passing grade, how do you decide our retention?!" the voice rang out strong and resolute.
"It’s hard work," Joshua Bailey said coolly with a glance, his lips curved into a chillingly threatening smile, slow tone filled with menace, "That question requires no consideration from you."
The speaker was promptly silenced.
He wasn’t worried about how the instructors would handle it!
His intent was simply that, without knowing the passing grade, just starting the test would leave them uncertain.
Merely wanted a peace of mind.
"Report—"
A shout from the troops cut off by Flossie Wright’s whistle.
After the whistle, there was no sound, the recruits frozen from the whistle dared not make a peep.
Flossie Wright raised an eyebrow, gave them no chance for questions, started their assessment with a single word.
Meanwhile, she waved the stopwatch in her hand.
Instantly, the first group had no time to question, sprinting towards the 400-meter obstacle.
Afraid of delaying even a second.
In fact, Flossie hadn’t even pressed the button, the stopwatch hadn’t begun.
Joshua Bailey looked blankly at Flossie Wright.
This approach—
Really simple and direct, but effective.
He thought he’d have to negotiate longer with the recruits.
Well, the Captain set such a freakish passing grade, what can you do?
