The assembly is complete.
Austin Shepherd glanced at his stopwatch.
minutes 50 seconds.
Not a bad result, honestly.
"Oh, um," Austin Shepherd pocketed his stopwatch and asked them with a cheerful smile, "Is everyone awake now?"
"We’re awake!"
The response roared through the sky, utterly deafening.
Austin Shepherd nodded in satisfaction, "Now that everyone’s awake, let’s discuss something. Given that we’ve had a reduction of about two hundred people, a lot of the teams got messed up. Therefore, we implemented new team formations."
He paused. Austin Shepherd pointed towards the blackboard located underneath the women’s barracks, "The new team arrangements are posted there. Each team will be made up of two people. Make sure to take a look. We’ll reconvene in three minutes."
With that said, he waved his hand, indicating to the crowd—still standing there as still as wooden pegs—to march over and check.
And just like that, everyone immediately dispersed in a unified motion and surged towards the blackboard.
No order whatsoever.
"Why couldn’t you just read it out loud?" Nathan Foster frowned.
Look at how messy everything is!
"Well, if they see it for themselves, they’ll have a clearer idea," Austin explained serenely, then added, "Plus, it saves a lot of time."
Nathan Foster pressed his lips together, remaining silent.
He figured Austin just wanted to slack off!
"Flossie, you’re paired with..."
Becca Reyes managed to squeeze out of the crowd and grab Flossie’s arm, when she suddenly felt a chilling gaze sweep over her.
She paused for a moment, looked up, and immediately met the icy stare of Belinda Nichols.
A chill washed over her, as if a frozen wave was crashing against her face.
However, the icy gaze wasn’t meant for her, but for the girl by her side—Flossie. She was just caught in the crossfire.
It made her heart skip a beat as she suddenly realized that this situation was even direr than she had imagined.
Feeling the gaze on her, Flossie looked up to meet it. Her eyes met with Belinda’s in a slightly listless manner.
No one would accept such a stare with a smile on their face.
Luckily, Belinda made no further moves. After looking at Flossie for a few seconds, she turned around and headed towards the assembly area.
"So, uh, let’s just say you’re grouped with her."
As she saw Belinda’s figure disappear, Becca Reyes touched her nose and spoke in a jesting tone.
To be honest, the brash Flossie paired with the aloof Belinda... No matter how Becca thought about it, she felt their vibes just didn’t match.
But she couldn’t find it in herself to gloat.
If their partnership proved problematic, it could affect the team scores.
"Mhm," Flossie responded without surprise, then glanced at Becca, "Who are you paired with?"
Becca paused, her face revealing a conflicted expression.
She slightly raised her eyes, scanned the nearby crowd, and spotted someone in the distance. Her eyes immediately lit up.
It was Calvin Ramos.
Flossie followed her gaze to the person and immediately understood who her partner was.
"Let’s go."
Without offering any comment, Flossie turned and headed towards the assembly area.
Accompanied by a moment of hesitation, Becca’s heart was forcibly uplifted. She withdrew her gaze anxiously and quietly fell into step with Flossie.
Feeling somewhat expectant yet equally anxious and reluctant, she was unable to express her complex emotions, and thus, remained silent.
