The show, it was about time it ended.
Bard Walker, who had always been under the pressure of Glenn Hutchinson and was standing in the distance observing, could faintly see Clara Birch and Agnes Parker in a half-dead state through the crowd. Unexpectedly, a vein on his forehead twitched. In the end, he threw the problem to Glenn Hutchinson, "Alright, how do you propose we handle this situation?"
Although it was not his duty to oversee the new soldiers, the incident had occurred under his watch. How could he stand idly by?
Originally, when he saw Flossie Wright step in, he intended to step in himself but was blocked seemingly by the passing Glenn Hutchinson. There was a sense of "It’s none of your business, just carry on watching the show", which Bard didn’t seem to grasp. For some unknown reason, he really had just stood by, watching quietly as Clara Birch and Agnes Parker were beaten into a dreadful state.
Glenn Hutchinson stood in the darkness cast by the building corner, his entire body seeming to be covered in a layer of shadow, his face indistinguishable and his mood unreadable.
"Isn’t it a test-match?"
In the dark, a deep voice trailed, and Glenn Hutchinson’s tone was calm, as if he was really just watching a show. Therefore, why should he meddle?
With a slightly troubled expression on his face, Bard sighed heavily.
Even though some rules were violated in the name of the test-match, the reasons were plausible. Plus, with so many bystanders present, even if he wanted to punish Flossie Wright, could he really do it?
On top of that, Janice Wood had also been injured, albeit not as severely.
Bard was suddenly uncertain. He didn’t know whether Glenn Hutchinson had any other ulterior motives, or... whether he was intentionally favoring someone.
After all, having delivered so many days of meals, showing a little favoritism was quite normal, right?
Suddenly, a figure ran out from the large classroom not far away. He was initially heading towards the busy crowd in the playground but glanced over and saw Bard and walked towards him. He took several strides forward and saluted Bard with high spirits.
Bard glanced at him, his voice slightly low, "Why are you here? Were you not proctoring the exam?"
"Yes, sir!" Nathan Foster, who was always rigid, was even more disciplined upon seeing Bard. He conceived his response in impeccable Mandarin, "But the test time has exceeded five minutes, and some new soldiers have still not arrived in the classroom!"
Of course, there were soldiers missing from the classroom. Otherwise, who were all these people roaming around the playground?
"Call them back." Bard coolly raised an eyebrow and surveyed the playground, "Ignore everything else."
"Uh, alright!" Nathan Foster hesitated a bit, but he would never dare to disobey the command of his captain, so of course, he accepted it without hesitation.
He had just heard from his classroom about Clara Birch and Agnes Parker having a fight with Janice Wood, which was then interrupted by Flossie Wright. Nathan Foster knew the gist of the situation quite well, and that was also the reason why he rushed out. To his surprise, he did not need to intervene as Bard’s intent had already been conveyed.
This "everything else" probably refers to the matter concerning Flossie Wright and the others.
Seeing his nod, Bard didn’t allow him to continue standing in front of him, simply waved his hand to dismiss him. After this, he didn’t remain any longer, but left along with Glenn Hutchinson.
As for Nathan Foster, as soon as he walked into the playground, he took out a whistle and blew it as soon as he reached the crowd. The loud sound immediately attracted everyone’s attention.
