It couldn’t be denied that her shooting skills had been appreciated by many. Therefore, she had been trying to rein in her marksmanship these days, resulting in less outstanding performance. Captain Bard had come specially to watch her several times, but each time he was disappointed.
She didn’t feel she was any different from others, so naturally, she couldn’t understand why "leaders" would want her to go and "drag down those outstanding new recruits"...
"What’s wrong?"
The warm voice that suddenly came in interrupted their silence.
The speaker was the last member of their group and the most enviable among this batch of new recruits, Calvin Ramos.
From the recruits unit to the Marine Corps, his performance had always been far ahead. Moreover, among a group of ordinary looking male soldiers, his handsomeness and gentleness were simply outshining them in minutes, becoming the main gossip topic among the female soldiers during their idle time.
Therefore, when the group assignments were announced, many of the female soldiers were envious and jealous of Flossie Wright and Becca Reyes, even a mere glance could make one’s teeth sour with envy.
"It’s nothing," Flossie lifted her eyelids, her gaze resting on him for a moment. Her voice was calm, not generating the slightest ripple, "If you guys are free, you can help in the kitchen first."
"Eh, what do you mean...oww..."
Just as Stuart Weston was about to complain about Flossie, he was suddenly punched in the abdomen, with Becca silencing his complaints with her fist.
"Brother," Becca raised her hand to grab his shoulder, wearing a particularly sinister smile on her face, her bewitching eyebrows slightly curved, "You’re just unlucky. The two in our group are from the cooking class. We won’t push you. Just turn left outside to wait for the meal. But our performance during that time...apologies, we’re just from the cooking class.
After speaking, Becca patted his shoulder, then quickly turned and left.
Just before going to help wash the vegetables, her steps paused slightly, and she glanced at Calvin subconsciously. Before he could sense her gaze and look over, she quickly shifted her gaze and walked directly to the vegetable washing pool.
Stuart, who felt severely threatened, his face darkened further. He glared at Becca’s retreating back, his brow twitched fiercely, and the only thing he could finally do was curse under his breath, "Damn!"
Damn! Why did both end up from the cooking class!
That new instructor must not be pleased with him and Calvin’s excellent performances!
"Get to work."
Calvin, standing beside him, was much calmer. He silently watched the two cooks with lit-up smiles beckoning them over to help. He implied to Stuart through his low voice before walking towards the two cooks.
"....."

Stuart was holding in his rage, unable to understand why Calvin was so good-natured, volunteering to help without any complaints. He stood grumpily in place for a while, realizing no one cared about him, he sighed to himself, then silently went over to help Calvin.
Though Becca’s words were somewhat threatening, she was not wrong. After all, they were tied together, bound by military command. They couldn’t suggest to Austin Shepherd changing teammates. In this "impossible" situation, they had to do their best to improve Flossie and Becca’s performances, provide them with more training time, instead of causing internal strife within the team.
The cooking class’s breakfast wasn’t complicated and there weren’t many tasks. Plus, by the time Becca and others returned, the kitchen work was almost finished. Thus, in a short while, the helping hands managed to finish their tasks.
