"You spoil them too much!"
Nathan Foster grumbled to Austin Shepherd.
Not only allowing them to hoard food in the dormitory, but also tacitly allowing them to eat the delicious food from the cooking class.
With a helpless shrug, Austin Shepherd said, "They used to be in the cooking class, if the leader, Captain Lin, is biased what can you do?"
"What about them hoarding food, how do you explain that?"
"It’s not that big of a deal."
"Not a big deal? Don’t you know about being impartial? What if someone else finds out?"
"Isn’t it that no one has found out?" Austin Shepherd answered nonchalantly.
With a stern face, Nathan Foster was so irritated that he couldn’t find a word to say.
"Take it easy, nothing will happen." Patting him on the shoulder, Austin Shepherd chuckled, "Their performance is getting better and better, isn’t it?"
"But this is against the rules! If the captain finds out, you’ll be rebuked!"
"Hey," Austin Shepherd draped his arm around his shoulder, "you know, some soldiers aspire to go further without any encouragement, while others will quickly sink into a negative mood no matter how much you push them. When their transgressions are small, you can turn a blind eye."
Nathan Foster eyed him irritably.
Smiling more deeply, Austin Shepherd added, "Don’t worry, I believe they know what’s important."
Becca Reyes pressed her lips together in silence.
After a long pause, Nathan Foster asked, "What about the matter with Calvin Ramos and Stuart Weston? The fact that they fought is undeniable! How could you dare to cover it up!"
"Hmm, Calvin Ramos, this guy..." After a brief pause in his tone, Austin Shepherd laughed, "I want to observe him a bit longer. After all, he’s a promising talent."
Nathan Foster’s voice gradually softened, but with a touch of heaviness.
"You need to understand what’s important."
"You have limitless potential, don’t ruin it for yourself." Nathan Foster sighed a bit.
Turning his head, Austin Shepherd looked at him; his very dark eyes becoming a bit more serious.
"Ok, I understand,"
He agreed, confident in his heart.
If, in the process of training new recruits, he could encounter some interesting individuals, he wouldn’t mind giving up some things.
With gain, there must be loss.
He was still young, and believed in this.

The cooking class.
Having not visited the backyard in a long time, everything remained unchanged.
The kitchen was lit up, with a warm, orange light spilling out from the wide-open back door.
The three of them walked in.
The rhythmic sound of food being cooked was a familiar tune in their ears.
Captain Lin stood beside the stove, stir-frying and tossing the food with effortlessly smooth movements. Xiao Yan was assisting by his side, washing and cutting vegetables with intense dedication.
Without turning around, Captain Lin acknowledged the newcomers while Xiao Yan smiled broadly when he saw them.
"Yo, you guys are back."
He wiped his hands on the white apron, greeted them, and then went to find seats for them.
They could have eaten at the stone table outside, but the weather was quite cold and the food would cool quickly. So, in this weather, the kitchen staff would choose to eat inside the kitchen.
Of course, there were plenty of stools.
"It’s fine, you can attend to your work. We can handle ourselves."
Becca Reyes waved him off, her face involuntarily relaxing into a beautiful smile.
