Just hearing the voice, Becca Reyes had an inkling of who it was.
Turning her head, she saw Stuart Weston standing behind her, tall and straight, with a refreshing smile.
Without reason, Becca Reyes felt a bit awkward.
Ever since the night she broke up with Calvin Ramos, a distraught Becca had run into Stuart Weston, and in a moment of anger, she had lost the hard-earned thousand dollars, which Stuart had ended up covering for her.
And that night...
Though nothing had happened, at a certain moment, it seemed as if she understood his intentions, and so, after separating the next day, she intentionally avoided Stuart Weston and hadn’t spoken to him since.
Stuart Weston, acting as if nothing was the matter, greeted her with a smile, "Was just looking for you, have you eaten yet?"
Becca Reyes nodded, her mind elsewhere, and the usual fierceness she had towards him was nowhere to be seen.
"We’re planning to do some training; do you want to join us?"
As he spoke, Stuart Weston waved his fist, clearly referring to combat training.
Combat training, ah...
A sudden surge of energy came over Becca Reyes.
That’s right, no matter what the future held, she still had to give Cherry Hamilton a good beating.
Seeing Stuart Weston’s smiling face, Becca Reyes felt a bitter sweetness in her heart, but she still nodded, "Okay."
Setting everything else aside, she had to work hard just to have a chance to stay.
Especially since Flossie Wright was working so hard, she was now far ahead of her.
Knowing that Stuart Weston and his group were skilled in grappling and combat, apart from all the miscellaneous thoughts, Becca Reyes naturally chose to train with them.
After all—
Flossie Wright had gone for a run.
Four months had allowed Flossie Wright to improve her physical fitness by half, but since she started mid-way, it was only now that she’d reached the average level of a recruit.
Just enough not to hold anyone back.
She had already wanted to enhance her physical training, and with the arrival of the new recruits, she was even more motivated not to fall behind.
Everyone has a competitive spirit, Flossie Wright included.
She could openly admit her shortcomings, but admitting was one thing, and the desire to surpass them was another.

Thinking back on Erina Taylor’s abilities, which towered above others, she could calmly acknowledge the strengths of others but could not comfortably settle for always lagging behind.
If she was going to do it, then she chose to be the best.
From seven to ten.
Flossie Wright practiced for a whole three hours on the nearby hilltop, without a single minute’s break.
Cross-country, shuttle runs, parallel bars...
At ten o’clock sharp, Flossie Wright heard her watch alarm, and her body simply fell backwards, exhausted, collapsing onto the dry grass.
Faintly, she could still hear the sounds of footsteps, heavy breathing, and conversation...
This was a hilltop they often used, equipped with lots of training gear; since nightfall, there had been a steady stream of people, and it wasn’t until after half past nine that the numbers finally began to dwindle.
Looking up at the sky, the pitch-black night was vast and endless, merging with the darkness of her pupils.
She regulated her breathing.
Long periods of training were truly exhausting, but it was a unique feeling to still sense life in the midst of extreme tiredness.
As fatigue washed over her, Flossie Wright slowly closed her eyes and without realizing, drifted into a deep sleep.
At some point—
Quiet voices reached her ears; she jolted awake, her eyes clear as ink, and by the time she realized what was happening, her elbow was already propped up on the grass, and her other hand had blindly grabbed a few stones.
After blinking, Flossie Wright paused for a moment as she regained her senses.
Then she fell back down.
