Willie Ash had initially wanted to say "Don’t court death", but he was afraid that these words would trigger a total outbreak and then...
Things would be irretrievably out of control.
However, his peacekeeping efforts were in vain, as he was too concerned with the one burning in anger to notice the one beside him who remained seemingly unaffected.
"Let him finish!"
The voice that sounded from his side was as cold as an ice cellar, causing a chill down one’s spine in this cold night for no apparent reason.
The tone of Glenn Hutchinson was heavy, his eyes half-hidden in the darkness were as dark as ink, but his gaze, seemingly substantial, was firmly fixed on the soldier standing before him, silently calming his heated mind, and inevitably causing a touch of fear to surface in his heart.
Willie Ash instinctively fell silent and after carefully observing Glenn Hutchinson for a few times, he finally retreated a few steps silently, distancing himself from this invisible battlefield.
Based on his understanding of Glenn Hutchinson, he knew that Glenn was truly angry this time.
Glenn usually seemed stern and serious, but his purpose was to improve their comprehensive abilities, not to unleash his wrath on them without reason. There were times when some soldiers challenged him, but in the end, they always ended up obediently complying without him uttering a single word. He had never seen him truly angry before.
In fact, Willie Ash had rarely seen Glenn Hutchinson furious, but every time he was, everyone at the Base would avoid him, fearing to inadvertently become his target. It was obvious how massive his lethal force was.
Therefore, in a way, Willie Ash did admire the brash soldier. As the saying goes, ’A newborn calf doesn’t fear a tiger.’ He who has never been dealt with severely, won’t understand the horror that Glenn Hutchinson can unleash.
Meanwhile, the soldiers who were declared to either stay or leave, showed signs of worry and unease, and were genuinely afraid that Glenn Hutchinson might just execute the protesting soldier with a single gunshot!
And for those who initially came to join the fun, they were immediately silenced by the strong deterrent force and pressure. It began to stiffen subconsciously in place, inexplicably began to feel nervous, as if they were the ones under Glenn Hutchinson’s stare, and after a while, cold sweat started to form in their palms.
"I admit that I’m not as good as you, but among these people, my grades should be ranked higher. Why are those with lower grades than mine able to stay, yet I was declared unqualified?!"
After a stalemate, the protesting soldier finally managed to calm down, but the indignation welling up within him still didn’t subside.
After all, having trained under Glenn Hutchinson for so long, the mental capacity — a crucial checkpoint that Glenn upholds firmly — it would be impossible for him to stay angry for long.
Glenn’s gaze lingered on him for a few seconds before speaking with a cold tone, "Who said you’re ranked higher?"
The protesting soldier was stunned, feeling a sense of frustration welling up within him, he raised his voice and retorted: "Doesn’t it go without saying, in every training exercise or mission, I’ve always been top class, and in this current exercise, I’m the only one you haven’t wiped out!"
He just couldn’t vent his grievances!

Although his grades weren’t always the top, even at his worst, he would still make it to the top three. The grades of others would sometimes fluctuate greatly, but he managed to maintain steady progress. In his heart, the thought of him "staying" was a certainty. However, now that he wasn’t among those deemed qualified by Glenn Hutchinson, it struck him hard. The dissonance in his heart was unexpectedly big, prompting him to direct his anger at Glenn Hutchinson.
