All along, her life had been fairly smooth sailing. Having been interested in military affairs since childhood, she joined the Forces during her first year of college.
But the naive her never expected that stepping into this world would completely overturn her life.
The tough training for new recruits was tough to get through, especially for someone like her who had little interest in physical activities.
Being transferred to the cooking class was a given.
She thought her life would breeze by after being transferred to the cooking class, but to her dismay, she ran into a deputy squad leader who expected her to curry favour with him. Even the slightest misstep could leave her to be bullied, and the stringent disposition of the male cooks left her without anyone to confide in.
Later, she met Austin Shepherd and was smitten at first sight.
However, the courage she mustered to confess her feelings after a year of silent admiration was met with polite refusal.
Nothing was going as she wished, nothing was making her happy.
Yvonne Watson often felt that even if she were to die, hell would not necessarily be worse than her current predicament.
"If you’ve never experienced any of these, then congratulations, you’re very lucky."
As she was about to cry again, Flossie Wright remarks nonchalantly.
Perhaps, Yvonne Watson should be grateful that this is the forces, and she only encountered one Neal Thompson.
"So, have you experienced this?" Yvonne Watson asked her.
"No," Flossie Wright stood up and brushed dust off her clothes, "I’m not as weak as you."
Yvonne Watson was left speechless.
But soon after, she was at peace again.
She had always been weak and could never stand up to Flossie Wright.
Watching Flossie Wright leave, Yvonne Watson took a deep breath and abruptly stood up shouting, "Wait!"
Flossie Wright paused slightly.
"So, how can I stop being so weak?"
Raising her voice, Yvonne Watson stared determinedly at Flossie Wright.
She, no longer desired such a life.
Days without hope, days of being trampled on, days of unbearable pain...
She could not live this way anymore!
"Go back and read."
Flossie Wright said lightly, then withdrew her gaze.
From the dim light ahead, Flossie Wright’s figure gradually faded away.
Yvonne Watson bit her lip and clenched her fists.
She stood in place, watching as Flossie Wright walked away.
The chilling wind persisted, penetrating everywhere. Despite the cold seeping into her flesh, Yvonne Watson stood still, her eyes becoming resolute.
She suddenly recalls a phrase Becca Reyes had said—"Survival of the fittest, it’s a natural fact."
In fact, she had always hated Flossie Wright.
Envy, jealousy.
Flossie Wright’s life in the forces had been too brilliant, too unrestrained, too smooth, something she could never attain.
While she was so strong, she refused to help her.
Despite knowing her first, she got along better with Becca Reyes.
And many, many more...
All the reasons why she resented Flossie Wright.
Envious of her calm and composed disposition, jealous that she’s better than her, and she resented her for not having any goodwill toward her.
But, all the resentment, at this moment, had dissipated.
Flossie Wright had no obligation to be good to her.
And she, would strive to make herself better,
The night was chilling.
Flossie Wright returned to the kitchen and met up with Becca Reyes and Belinda Nichols, who had been waiting for a while.
The next day, early morning.
The morning reveille sounded. The new recruits in the two buildings quickly dressed and rushed downstairs to assemble.
