Yet, Flossie Wright’s knife skills genuinely amazed Stuart Weston and Calvin Ramos. Even before they started eating, Stuart was still exclaiming to Calvin in astonishment. If all the ingredients in Flossie’s hands were replaced with people, she would definitely be the kind of expert who could bone them entirely.
Of course, all he received was a bored look from Calvin Ramos.
"Discuss the situation."
Once breakfast was chosen, Flossie Wright carried her plate back outside the kitchen, joining the other three by the small stone table outside.
Since they worked in the cooking class, they naturally had some special privileges. For example, all areas belonging to the cooking class were their free territory, even taking up the small stone table often used for meetings wouldn’t raise any complaints.
"What situation?"
Upon hearing the question, Stuart cracked the eggshell in his hand and looked up in confusion, utterly unable to connect with Flossie on a mental level.
Flossie Wright just flicked her eyes and ignored him.
"In late January, there will be an exercise where we need to act as a group," Becca Reyes explained for her. "During this period, we need to prepare fully for the exercise, but all the time is ours to manage. The base’s equipment is available for us to use freely. The instructor won’t supervise us, but can conduct spot checks at any time."
When Austin Shepherd proposed this plan, almost all the new soldiers were stunned for a long time. They could accept being divided into groups, but for this type of "free-range" training, those who were used to obeying orders and training under the instructor’s directions found it hard to adapt. They found it very disconcerting and couldn’t think of any ideas.
As expected, Becca Reyes’ words also surprised Flossie Wright a little.
After snapping out of her thoughts, Flossie slowly peeled the egg in her hand, glanced sideways, and asked lightly, "Do you have any plans?"
Becca Reyes helplessly pursed her lips, eating her steamed bun without any taste.
After finishing the egg in one bite, Stuart blinked his eyes and proposed with some enthusiasm: "How about we follow Instructor Qi’s previous plan, and then slowly increase the difficulty?"
"No," Calvin Ramos, sitting next to him, cut him off. His mild tone gradually became serious. "The free time they give us is definitely not for us to imitate their training schedule. So we must plan target-oriented training for the upcoming drill."
Stuart Weston blinked, feeling that he had made sense, so he had nothing to say and began to eat his breakfast without paying much attention.
As Calvin Ramos said, if Austin Shepherd wanted them to follow the previous training plan, there was no need for this trick. Giving them free time was to let them recognize their weaknesses and then undergo targeted reinforcement training.
Otherwise, it would be meaningless.
"Exercise..." Flossie stroked her chin, thought for a moment, and tossed the peeled egg onto Becca Reyes’ plate. She turned her head and said, "As for the training plan, let me draft it."
Upon hearing Flossie’s words, Stuart almost choked on his steamed bun. He looked at Flossie as if she were some kind of monster, as if she were boasting.
In his impression, Flossie had no other strengths beyond superb gun skills—sharp-tongued, cunning, with poor stamina...
Frankly, Stuart had never thought highly of her. From the moment he knew she was in his group, he had defined her as "the one who drags everyone down."
Seeing her suddenly taking such an essential task, and doing it with a straight face—as if hitting a bullseye were as easy task—well, isn’t this somewhat arrogant?
"Are you okay," Stuart swallowed the steamed bun in his mouth, and looked at Flossie with concern, "Do you want to go to the hospital?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Stuart was violently pushed aside. At the same time, Becca Reyes’ fist swept across where he had just sat, creating gusts of wind and stirring his dress hem to form a turbulent arc in the air, then slowly falling.
"Hehe, want to fight? I’m always ready!"
Stuart made a joking face at Becca Reyes, his eyes full of challenge. He lifted his finger and made a hooking gesture, trying to provoke her.
Becca Reyes banged the table and was about to stand up, but she was pressed down by two gazes from different directions.
After glancing at Flossie and Calvin Ramos, Becca Reyes suddenly remembered that she needed to maintain her image. She chose to ignore Stuart immediately, turned to Flossie and flicked her eyebrow, "You can draft the training plan."
Stuart stepped forward, about to object discontentedly, but his voice was interrupted before he could express his opinion.
The words were gentle and slow, spoken by Calvin Ramos.
