Becca Reyes was heartbroken and in a bad mood, which was completely understandable.
However, Flossie Wright’s way of giving advice was a bit too bizarre, wasn’t it? Who advises someone to go fight with the mistress?
Becca Reyes trained with Flossie Wright for the entire day.
From the initial five-kilometer cross-country run to the subsequent rope traversing, cliff climbing, and finally, the combat training.
There was not the slightest mercy.
By the end of the day, both were covered in bruises and contusions.
At the same time, Becca Reyes also felt a sense of crisis.
When it came to physical endurance, Becca Reyes knew her limitations well, but she was even more aware of Flossie Wright’s, which were definitely weaker than her own.
After a day’s training, Becca Reyes clearly felt that Flossie Wright’s physical condition had improved by leaps and bounds. She, who thought she had made progress, seemed to have a hard time keeping up with Flossie Wright during their joint training.
Moreover, she couldn’t even tell if Flossie Wright had any intention of deliberately waiting for her.
This contrast made Becca Reyes reflect throughout the training session.
She had thought she was making progress, but if Flossie Wright was improving at a faster rate, then the problem lay with her.
"I feel that my combat is getting smoother the more I practice with you."
Dragging her body behind Flossie Wright, Becca Reyes, with her sore back, still tried the techniques with both hands and was surprised to discover something.
Practicing fighting skills with Flossie Wright had always been satisfying.
It wasn’t about following every move as taught, but about using flexible and varied techniques. Whenever Flossie Wright made a move, she could instantly come up with a counter-move, without rigidly sticking to the taught content.
Previously, the combat training sessions were short, and she didn’t notice it, but today they had trained for an entire afternoon, and Becca Reyes was surprised to find that some moves she had found difficult were now easily within her control.
Flossie Wright wasn’t modest either.
Combat and martial arts, in fact, are not that different after all—both involve attacking and countering. She had not systematically learned combat before, but the techniques were similar; a little understanding was enough to integrate and master them.
An instructor leading so many recruits couldn’t possibly attend to every single move for everyone.
Plus, what was previously taught were just techniques, aimed at making the recruits remember the moves. In the coming months, they would start to be taught real fighting skills.
So, all she did was let Becca Reyes know in advance what "real" teaching meant.
"Fine, I can’t outdo you anyway."
Becca Reyes quickened her pace, reached out to grab Flossie Wright’s shoulder, and practically hung off her.
Tossing her a look of disdain, Flossie Wright frowned, but seeing that she had no reaction, she let it go.
"By the way, what time is it now?"
While slowing down Flossie Wright’s pace, Becca Reyes suddenly seemed to remember something and abruptly asked.
Glancing at her watch, Flossie Wright said, "Six o’clock."
"We’re screwed!"
Springing up from Flossie Wright, Becca Reyes suddenly came alive.
"What’s wrong?" Flossie Wright turned to look at her.
Slapping her forehead, Becca Reyes said, "I forgot to tell you, we have a gathering at six o’clock, there’s an announcement to make!"
Saying so, she took Flossie Wright by the arm and hurried toward the dormitory.
Flossie Wright fell silent for a moment, then pulled her hand away.
Meeting Becca Reyes’s anxious and puzzled gaze, Flossie Wright shrugged, "Six o’clock, still five minutes to go."
... Stupefied, after a moment, Becca Reyes squeezed out a word through clenched teeth, "Shit!"
Five minutes was more than enough time to get from the training ground to the dormitory building.
