Fortunately, Flossie Wright had received excellent upbringing from her childhood, and she never had the mentality of "sour grapes". When she saw their envious and jealous reactions, she just ignored them as idle talk. She would listen when she was in a good mood and simply pretend not to hear when she was not. It didn’t affect her much.
Becca Reyes surprisingly showed such enthusiasm, voluntarily handing over the rope to Flossie Wright. Despite catching a cold glance from Flossie, she acted as though she was oblivious and said eagerly, "Don’t let me rush you, but just as a reminder, this cliff is quite high. Going back and forth a hundred times will certainly take you until the afternoon, so better start quickly. That way, you might still manage to sleep for a few dozen minutes tonight."
Becca Reyes has always been sharp-tongued, especially towards those she dislikes and those she is close to. She would easily launch her "poisonous tongue" attacks at them.
In the case of Flossie Wright right now, with all the punishments piled up, Becca still managed to add fuel to the fire. If there was an award to give, it would undoubtedly be the "Best Frenemy".
What’s more, her behavior appeared to outsiders as though she was dealing with an enemy, wishing that the people she hated would tire to death, causing a stir among people around them.
Both of them emerged from the cooking class. Their usual relationship seemed pretty good, did they become sworn enemies for a man?
Even in the Forces, the gossip factor was impossible to discard, leading to enduring rumors about Flossie Wright and Becca Reyes beyond that day. For example, some said that Flossie Wright deliberately went on a date with Glenn Hutchinson to upset Becca Reyes, some said Flossie Wright and Glenn Hutchinson were genuinely in love, while others suggested Flossie Wright and Becca Reyes broke apart due to falling for the same man and no longer spoke...
Therefore, Flossie Wright and Becca Reyes, being the people involved, felt quite embarrassed.
However, that is all bygone now.
Glenn Hutchinson said he came to accompany Flossie Wright, and he indeed only came to accompany her. After confessing the "truth" to Nathan Foster, he just watched Flossie Wright undergo climbing and rope descent training. He didn’t stay for long and left after a while, not showing any sign of an "illicit relationship".
It was almost noon.
Flossie Wright learned any technical moves very quickly. She had learned many Forces subjects, accumulating substantial experience, and knew how to complete the prescribed tasks in the most efficient way.
However, this cliff was indeed very steep.
Even without getting affected by the rough sea waves beneath, it took a lot of time for Flossie Wright to go back and forth. It was already a physically demanding task. Her energy would be drained after a few rounds. Plus she had a bullet scrape on her arm. It wasn’t much at first, but the accumulated pain started to become unbearable over time.
Therefore, when all the new soldiers were forced to walk once and then joyously went back for lunch, Flossie Wright hadn’t even completed ten rounds of going up and down.

Janice Wood and Becca Reyes were drastically different in character. Even until the end, Janice wanted to stay and accompany Flossie Wright. But she was promptly spotted by Nathan Foster and sent back immediately, which had Janice fuming for a long time.
"Resting for a minute now means adding one more round. No rest until all are completed!"
Before he left, Nathan Foster sternly dropped a line. He didn’t trust Flossie Wright to keep count herself, so he got a soldier nearby to help keep an eye on things to prevent any accidents from occuring.
