"Yes, work hard," Rowdy Brightwill replied nonchalantly, not bothering to look at Yvonne Watson, "You two have already finished, what are you still doing here?"
Becca Reyes looked askance, rather nonchalantly, "Accompanying our comrades."
Given that it was a collective mission, they naturally had to wait for it to be completed before they could leave. After all, this was the Forces. They had to respect team spirit. If Flossie Wright and Becca Reyes were to abandon Yvonne Watson, who knows what Neal Thompson would lash out at them later.
Rowdy Brightwill suddenly realized.
"You guys can go. We still have exams later," Rowdy Brightwill said, folding his arms and grinning, "I’ll explain it to Lin, our platoon leader, later."
Talking about this made Becca Reyes feel a little guilty. She was always afraid of written exams. She didn’t pay much attention in class and had never bothered to read books apart from attending classes. On top of that, they had to learn a lot of knowledge like the basic structure of light and heavy weapons, battlefield maneuvers; tactics for survival training and emergency response in the wild, and even various kinds of tactics...
These were actually acceptable, since they were beneficial to them. However, she felt helpless when it came to boring subjects like Political Studies.
She had planned to use this opportunity to skip the exam. After all, they were in the cooking class and there was no need for them to learn so much. However, unexpected...Rowdy Brightwill showed up at this critical moment.
"You’re not thinking of skipping, are you?" Spotting the change in Becca Reyes’s expression, Rowdy Brightwill couldn’t help laughing, "A failed exam will be recorded in your grades. Even if you two are in the cooking class, there are no exceptions."
"That’s too harsh..."
Becca Reyes opened her mouth in surprise and was forced to compromise.
Meanwhile, Flossie Wright, who had been listening to their conversation, looked at the setting sun and stood up silently from the ridge, calmly saying to Becca Reyes, "Let’s go."
"Wait, I have a few words for you."
Before Flossie could walk away, Rowdy Brightwill came over to her side and spoke to her seriously.
Hearing this, Becca Reyes quickly got up and said, "Er, I’ll leave first."

Yvonne Watson, who had been left alone while watching Becca Reyes’s swift departure, and the fading figures of Rowdy Brightwill and Flossie Wright, blinked woefully. As the light in the sky faded, tear drops began to fall, dyeing her hands, hoe, and pile of soil a few droplets.
In the end, Yvonne Watson broke down in tears, crouching in the field in utter agony.
She couldn’t understand why she was always the one being mistreated, why no one was kind to her despite the many grievances she had suffered...
At another place.
The sky quickly darkened after the sun had set, as if in the blink of an eye, the entire sky had turned completely dark.
The figures of Flossie Wright and Rowdy Brightwill gradually disappeared into the gloom. The atmosphere between them was very quiet, and neither of them broke the silence until they had walked nearly two-thirds of the way. Then, Rowdy Brightwill stopped abruptly.
"I heard that...you fell into the sea during climbing training a few days ago?"
Rowdy Brightwill seemed a little hesitant, his tone was somewhat uncertain, because he didn’t know what would be the best topic to start with when facing Flossie Wright. He was always at a loss for ideas.
However, when he heard about the incident that had happened to Flossie Wright, his heart had skipped a beat. And it was because of that incident that he had resolved to find her.
