"Veteran Soldiers’ Captain, Jessie Grain. New Soldiers’ Captain, Flossie Wright!"
The voice was decisive and left no room for doubt.
An entirely unexpected result.
Even Flossie Wright herself seemed rarely surprised as she lifted her eyelids.
But before she could react, Austin Shepherd’s voice came again, "The selected four, step forward!"
Flossie Wright frowned slightly but still followed Austin Shepherd’s command and walked to the very front of the line.
The four of them stopped at the front of the formation, keeping a certain distance from each other.
"Come up and get your team’s list."
The speaker was Drake Easton.
In his hand, he already held the lists for the four teams.
Unbeknownst to him, he had been clenching the roster in his hand so tightly that it was nearly deformed.
It wasn’t out of nervousness but concern.
Relatively speaking, no one worried about the two teams of new soldiers, because with the abilities of Flossie Wright and Calvin Ramos, they had enough strength to suppress those recruits.
It was a big problem on the veterans’ side.
Of the 205 male soldiers, there were 23 military officers, and they feared that these officers would use their ranks to pressure others. They had specifically chosen someone with the highest rank, but there was another problem.
Sandy Cruz, 25 years old, two bars and one star, a graduate of a prestigious military academy, with a high level of education and an impressive resume.
He had a sufficient rank, but the problem was that at 25, he was too young and might be unable to control the older veteran soldiers.
There were 108 female soldiers, including 9 military officers.
Jessie Grain, 25 years old, one bar and three stars, a graduate of a prestigious military academy.
There were two female soldiers with one bar and three stars, and Jessie Grain was chosen as captain because she had trained in martial arts from a young age and had a strong foundation. If anything happened, she could handle the situation herself.
"Flossie Wright!"
Following Drake Easton’s call, Flossie Wright walked over to receive the new soldiers’ list.
As she passed by Rowdy Brightwill, her movements paused slightly, but she did not look in that direction and walked straight past.
She was the last one.
"Back to the formation!"
Drake Easton said sternly.
And so, Flossie Wright returned to the formation, measured by countless eyes all the way.
Familiar and unfamiliar gazes.
When she returned to her previous position, only Becca Reyes raised her eyebrows at her, her expression filled with excitement and joy.
"Whistle—"
Nathan Foster blew a whistle until the murmurs in the crowd had completely subsided.
"Training begins tomorrow," Austin Shepherd said gravely, looking at them, "Captains, stay behind; everyone else is dismissed!"
The tense and serious atmosphere faded with Austin Shepherd’s words, and the group of new and veteran soldiers immediately disbanded, with many officers showing a slight contempt for them.
Soon, only Flossie Wright, Calvin Ramos, Jessie Grain, and Sandy Cruz remained on the small parade ground.
Among the instructors, apart from Austin Shepherd and Nancy Phillips, the others left silently.
"Come here."
Austin Shepherd looked up at the four who remained stationary and amusingly called out to them.
Afterward, all four approached him.
As she walked over, Flossie Wright observed the other two.
Jessie Grain appeared to be about 175 cm tall, nearly half a head taller than herself. Despite her height, she was neither broad-backed nor thick-set but rather slender with a pair of typical "chopstick" legs. Just walking down the street was enough to dazzle onlookers.
Her expression was calm, and when her eyes met Flossie Wright’s, she paused in surprise before nodding and smiling lightly at her.
As for Sandy Cruz...
