After a while, Becca Reyes looked at her somewhat discouraged, "I have to train again tomorrow."
Flossie was why she couldn’t sleep, tossing and turning. They don’t have time to be insomniac right now. Becca Reyes wouldn’t claim to know Flossie completely, but she understood that Flossie has her strengths - she wouldn’t agree to anything unnecessary on her part and she is always surprisingly considerate, especially when you’re on good terms with her, she’d even tolerate unfair requests.
So, Flossie wouldn’t let her lose a night’s sleep just because of herself.
As expected, the voice across was quiet for a while and then continued, "It’s boring. I just want to get through two years."
For Flossie, this was also not something to hide. She never intended to be a particularly extraordinary soldier to defend her homeland, let alone stay in the Forces for a long time.
In her view, a major reason to participate in the new trainee training was because of Chief Lin. However, even this reason wasn’t enough to make her believe that there would be a better future by leaving the cooking class.

It doesn’t make sense.
She didn’t have anything she particularly desired to do, she lost interest in everything, even from her past experiences.
Becca Reyes couldn’t find her words for a moment, she had to admit that she was holding her breath. After a while, she lowered her voice, full of anger, and asked, "So why did you join the Forces in the first place?"
Need not a soldier, just coming to idle away time, couldn’t she be idle anywhere outside the Forces?
"To pass the time."
As simple as that, Flossie turned over and fell asleep.
After a long time, Becca Reyes opened her mouth, but indeed, she couldn’t say anything.
Flossie, ah, Flossie, you deserve to live such a boring life!
Feeling choked, Becca Reyes lay down heavily and covered her head with the quilt. She was panting in annoyance, wanting to rush over and fight with Flossie.
This woman was just too annoying!
However, surprisingly, after asking, no matter how much impact Becca Reyes felt, she fell asleep in just a few minutes.
It was only a long time later when she recalled this moment, did she suddenly realize, that may be the answer most suitable for Flossie. Even subconsciously, she understood that she could not change Flossie.
So, she was just looking for peace of mind.
This night, it was long, very long.
The silent night, deep as if it could drip ink.
In the office building at the Base, amidst the endless darkness, there was still a lamp on, illuminating the open office.
After Glenn Hutchinson finished training the new recruits and returned, he was pulled by Bard Walker for a late-night snack in the middle of the night. Of course, Bard Walker would always be humbling only if he needed something, and it wasn’t possible for him to invite him for no reason.
As a result, as expected, he met Austin Shepherd at Bard Walker’s place.
"Bro, look at your training always so cruelly effective, I have a newbie here. Don’t you have time to help him?"
He still remembered Bard’s friendly smile on his face, which appeared only while asking for a favor, who enthusiastically poured wine and served dishes, almost blooming with joy.
Even if Bard Walker could be so humble, this favor would not be easy to grant, would it?
So, after having a late-night snack in the middle of the night and returning, Austin Shepherd was dragged into the office by him.
Austin Shepherd was a very thoughtful person, having a high degree of education did not mean he was a bookworm, he basically understood everything about the training scheme, but when he accidentally mentioned Flossie’s issues, his reaction in front of Glenn Hutchinson was completely dumbfounded.
"This... this..."
Austin Shepherd stood behind Glenn Hutchinson, watching him move the mouse to adjust the names in the form, his face becoming more and more rigid, no matter how composed, he had to display a look of disbelief.
That name, which shouldn’t have appeared in the table, appeared accurately in a blank column after Glenn Hutchinson typed it in.
Austin Shepherd confirmed it several times before finally reassuring himself -
