In the afternoon, combat training began.
Rowdy Brightwill had intended to change Flossie Wright’s partner, but after Drake Easton’s repeated warnings, he decided against it.
The prohibition of special treatment was one reason.
On the other hand, if he really changed partners, what would everyone else think?
Flossie Wright was the captain.
She couldn’t lose face, nor could she afford to lose her dignity.
Soon, the combat training commenced.
"You’re back?"
Watching Flossie approach, Mariana Buck slightly arched her eyebrows with evident interest and asked.
Considering the severity of yesterday’s injuries, one would think that she had learned her lesson and would’ve taken advantage of her special relationship with Rowdy Brightwill to switch partners by now.
Unexpectedly...
Nothing had changed, and there stood Flossie, straight and unyielding before her.
With a slight lowering of her gaze, Flossie rotated her wrists, her expression one of lazy indifference, "I was afraid you’d look bad losing to someone else."
"Arrogant!"
Mariana’s face suddenly darkened.
Afraid she’d lose to someone else?
Did that mean she was saying that Mariana would lose to her?
Ridiculous.
With an arched eyebrow, Flossie remained calm and composed, walking straight into the sea.
Hmph.
𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦
With a light chuckle and a hint of disdain, Mariana promptly followed her in.
The seawater submerged their knees, bringing a chill.
Flossie stopped in her tracks.
Glancing to the side, a fist fiercely aimed for her ear, but Flossie smiled, tilted her body, and blocked it.
Even though her move had failed, Mariana didn’t care.
Nevertheless...
That speed was indeed a bit faster than yesterday’s.
Yet, she was still no match for Mariana!
Her eyes hardening, Mariana still didn’t use her full strength, but her force and ferocity were already a few notches greater than the previous day.
Flossie didn’t give an inch.
Just like the day before, she still held back some of her power.
In facing Mariana, she continued to use the grappling combat techniques taught by the forces, yet her moves were agile and varied; whenever her strength was insufficient, she diverted to an oblique approach. If she couldn’t withstand, she avoided, and with the experience gained from yesterday’s bout, she had grasped a good deal of Mariana’s attacking habits. The contest this time turned out to be a dead heat.
"Instructor Rowdy!"
Staring at a spot, Maggie Summerton ran up to Rowdy Brightwill’s side, calling out clearly.
"What is it?"
Standing with hands clasped behind his back, Rowdy Brightwill inquired without shifting his gaze from the distance.
"Have you noticed?" Maggie looked at him, unable to conceal her excitement, "Has Flossie significantly improved?"
Since the start of today’s combat training, Maggie had been observing Flossie closely—after all, Flossie had been thrown quite harshly yesterday, and she was rumored to have caught a cold and been punished with running today.
Curiosity piqued, Maggie paid extra attention.
However, she had braced herself to see Flossie thrown miserably again, only to find that Flossie’s combat with Mariana had not put her at a disadvantage at all. Instead, she was holding her ground against Mariana.
"It’s alright."
With a tightening grip on one hand, Rowdy Brightwill responded in an understated tone, showing no discernible emotion.
"Just alright?" Maggie exclaimed in surprise.
The progress Flossie had made since yesterday was evident, and Mariana was no slouch—rumored to have been a vanguard in a previous unit. To be able to fight her on even terms was proof enough of Flossie’s abilities.
How could that be merely alright?
Rowdy Brightwill nodded noncommittally, without adding further comment.
He had to be constantly aware that he was now an instructor, not an outsider who could freely praise Flossie.
He feared that once he started complimenting her, he wouldn’t be able to stop, and that could lead to unnecessary trouble.
