The conversation halted there, and the room once again fell into silence.
They hadn’t recovered yet.
Although they knew that Flossie Wright acted unpredictably, what she was doing now was even more surprising than her missing the second phase of the assessment.
Goodness, while others hadn’t even started running, had she already reached the finish line?
Put in their position, even if the three of them cooperated, it wouldn’t necessarily be achievable!
Flossie Wright’s actions were something they could not readily accept, at least not for the moment.
"Speaking of which..."
After a moment of silence, Nancy Phillips suddenly spoke up.
At the sound, the two men looked at her.
Hesitating, Nancy Phillips asked with some uncertainty, "Has she always been like this?"
𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
"Well," Austin Shepherd thought for a moment and responded with a smile, "pretty much."
"And training?"
"Training... not so bad, I guess, as long as you don’t provoke her, her temper is quite okay."
Nancy Phillips began to ponder whether Flossie Wright’s temper really was okay.
She had reviewed the profiles of the new recruits in advance and had gathered some background information. Still, records couldn’t fully depict a person’s true character, which is why she specifically asked Austin Shepherd and Nathan Foster about the situation.
And she had already heard of Flossie Wright’s feats before becoming an Instructor, having a bias against her from the outset.
Undeniably, various rumors all confirmed that Flossie Wright was quite capable.
Perhaps not the strongest among the new recruits, but definitely one to draw attention.
The issue was, in the Forces, a soldier needed more than mere capability.
Flossie Wright fell short in many aspects of what Nancy Phillips expected of a true soldier, which is why she targeted Flossie Wright from their first meeting.
After about ten minutes, the three of them finally calmed down completely.
Having informed "the den" to resume the operation, Austin Shepherd made a call to Bard Walker.
New recruit training was not Bard Walker’s responsibility, but Austin Shepherd and Nathan Foster, being new Instructors, really couldn’t handle Flossie Wright’s actions.
Bard Walker wasn’t sleeping.
Because Glenn Hutchinson had instructed him beforehand, he was constantly worried about how to appear impartial if Flossie Wright missed this assessment.
When Austin Shepherd called, Bard Walker was unexpectedly nervous.
Upon hearing Austin Shepherd’s report, he almost smashed his phone!
"What the hell! Did you guys leak the information ahead of time?! The phase that wasn’t supposed to happen for another two days, how could you let her skip right to it?! Damn it, first make sure you’ve pacified our ’allied forces’—they were nearly taken out by one of our own being assessed, they’d be furious! And where is she? Tell her to roll back here quickly!"
After barking out his anger, Bard Walker hung up the phone in a bad temper.
Thinking it over, he was still not content, and he tossed his phone onto the couch.
Flossie Wright’s actions tonight were bound to cause him a whole lot of trouble, even more infuriating than if she had missed the assessment!
This time, they were cooperating with allied forces. Although there was competition in secret, they were nominally playing under the banner of "mutual progress."
But Flossie Wright had, quite brilliantly, disrupted their entire plan on her own, not giving them any face and slapping them hard in the process!
While she probably felt quite satisfied, it’s likely the other side was absolutely livid.
Resolving this mess was anyone’s guess!
A soldier being too outstanding can truly be a pain in the ass!
So damn annoying!
Having thought it through, Bard Walker paced around the office a few times, then with a solemn face, he went over to the couch and picked up the phone he had discarded.
He dialed a number.
As soon as he heard a cold "Hello" on the other end, Bard Walker immediately switched to a more eager tone, "Nancy..."
