He did not continue the discussion on this topic at the podium. What he needed was just to instill a certain way of thinking in them, as long as this thinking did not deteriorate, the answer to this question was not the most crucial point.
Not everyone here would face war, and not everyone would sit in the position of a leader.
And those who would really come face to face with such a problem, would one day make the most appropriate choice based on their own experiences and responsibilities.
However, the classroom fell into a silence in the second half of the course, not the earnest listening and immersive quietness of earlier, but a tacit quietness brought about through mutual contemplation and thinking.
They couldn’t judge whether the persistence of Flossie Wright and Calvin Ramos was right or wrong, nor could they even judge whether their answers were deliberate, but they had to think about the significance of such a problem and whether they should abandon or make other plans if they really encounter it in the future. Some even began to back out, considering whether they wanted to join the Marine Corps.
It seemed as if only when the course ended did they come to their senses.
Holding her neat notebook and signing pens, which Flossie had never written a word with, she handed them all over to Janice Wood when the class ended.
However, Janice Wood who received the notebook and signing pens was clearly not occupied with them. Instead, she looked at Flossie with a smiling face and exclaimed unexpectedly, "Flossie, you are so cool."
Truth be told, Janice had always thought Flossie was cool, because she could be enigmatic at times. She always turned things toward safer situations in the most direct and decisive way at critical moments. The thrilling sensation coupled with her serene demeanor was incurably cool.
But, during the question and answer with Glenn Hutchinson today, Janice saw on Flossie an unusual kind of ’coolness’. She was firm and calm, unaffected by Glenn, and held her own views from beginning to end. She had clear and organised thoughts, and was able to express her views without hesitation even when facing such a difficult question...
In summary —
She’s Cool!
Really Cool!
"Tsk," Becca Reyes touched Janice Wood’s shoulder from the back and forcibly turned her head to the side, indicating Calvin Ramos who had already walked to the door and said, "No taste, he is the real cool guy!"
Janice Wood looked at her a few times silently, but never responded to her words.
If she weren’t afraid of Becca’s wrath, Janice Wood would bluntly say that, Calvin Ramos indeed looks pleasing to the eye, but the Glenn Hutchinson, who just gave the lecture not only looks charming but also carries a style of his own. Calvin Ramos feels a bit inferior in front of him.
However, Becca, who didn’t wait for Janice’s response, probably already knew her thoughts. Annoyed, she patted her on the head. After despising her taste from beginning to end, Becca directly took Flossie to the cooking class.
Janice Wood was quite baffled by her domineering performance. She was stunned for a moment, and when she came around, she could only laugh and cry.

On this side, Flossie and Becca had just returned to the cooking class, when they saw a silhouette standing on the way to the dormitory. The figure was half hidden in the darkness, and the profile was faintly visible under the hazy streetlight. After looking carefully, they recognized who it was.
Rowdy Brightwill.
When she saw Rowdy Brightwill, a well-known handsome guy at the Base and an instructor who relied on his face to win everyone over in the new soldiers’ regiment, Becca had a rough idea. Considering the attitude Rowdy Brightwill had shown to Flossie the day before, she could guess something. Not wanting to be a third wheel, she turned to Flossie and said, "Suit yourself, I’ll go ahead."
