Sophia was so terrified that she held her breath. She wanted to see what was behind the door, but the lieutenant stood perfectly still and looked at both of them coldly.
“The two of you are about to enter intensive training. Although you only have a few days left, your course load will not be reduced. You must be prepared for it.”
Both of them nodded in understanding. Faye was beyond eager to see what the Fletchers really looked like. They have always kept a low profile in school, and were rarely seen out and about. The richer the family, the more low-key they were.
Plus, the Fletcher Family usually attended professional military academies and Bayside University. Even though they attended military training, they usually don’t become a part of the military after completing their training.
As for Sophia, she only nodded her head and said seriously, “I’m ready.”
Joel Fletcher personally oversaw the Superb Company, and their training methods were different from others. Those who successfully graduated from this company passed their training with flying colors.
The lieutenant looked at them without a hint of expression. “From now on, you will receive more rigorous training. In addition to basic formation and physical training, there will also be gun training and tactical combat.”
Sophie felt like she had struck gold! Getting personal training from Joel was so much better compared to Gwen! Faye was also over the moon. In tactical combat, it was inevitable that men and women both came into close contact.
She could then make use of her cuteness to get away with the training. All she needed to do was pretend to be dizzy, and get up only after the young army men gave her a hug! She made up a million scenarios in line with the romance novel “The Overbearing Soldier Fell for Me”.
However, the lieutenant’s next sentence shattered all her illusions. “Both of you can fight now, and the one who wins will get to enter.”
“What?” Faye exclaimed.
Sophia only nodded as understanding dawned. She knew that Superb Company did not take weaklings. Clenching her fist, she lunged toward Faye.
On the other side of the training ground, after everyone learned that Sophia was selected for the Superb Company, they all felt envious and jealous of her. But they didn’t envy her for long, as the Superb Company was not something that everyone could endure.
They had heard stories that those who were selected for the Superb Company had returned crying with bruised faces less than a day later. This time, they wondered what would happen to the two people who were selected.
During their training at night, news spread like wildfire in the training ground—Faye was beaten to within an inch of her life, and was sent out of the barracks to be treated!
The news came from the front that Faye was seriously injured this time. Someone saw Faye being loaded onto a barrack bus, and they could hear her screaming from far away.
She looked so miserable. A visual inspection revealed that she had injured her muscles and bones. It was said that she wouldn’t last long, and was even on oxygen! As for Sophia…
No one knew what happened to Sophia. After all, the military camp was rather large, and the place where these students trained and lived were only a small part of it. There is a whole area they were prohibited from entering, and it was there that Sophia was undergoing her training.
Truth be told, if it was anyone else from the Edward family that threatened Sophia, she dared not cause any trouble. But she was not afraid of the daughter of the fata*s Joe Edwards, who was poor enough to sell her daughter at a bargain! Sophia was certainly not afraid!
Therefore, she punched Faye in the face. She thought that her punch had been light, but there was suddenly the sound of bone cracking, and then Faye was shouting. Faye fell to the ground, her hands covering her face while she wailed, blood splattered everywhere. “Murderer!
Murderer! Sophia is a murderer!” Sophia was shocked when she saw so much blood, and hurried over to check it out. The lieutenant who brought her over also frowned, and said, “Go to the barracks to pack your things, and come back here one hour later to report. Leave the rest to me.”
Sophia looked at Faye who was rolling on the ground, and mulled it over for a while. This was military training, and she was not the one who initiated the fight. If Faye was really hit badly, it was not Sophia’s responsibility. With that thought in mind, she turned around and left.
When she returned an hour later carrying her own bedroll, Faye was long gone. There was a pool of blood on the ground, and the lieutenant stood waiting for her right smack in the middle. Sophia was shaken when she saw the blood. She remembered that her punch wasn’t that hard, so why did Faye bleed so much?
Recalling the blood on Faye’s face just now, she asked herself if it was all fake. Although she really did hit Faye, it was no cause for death. She asked the lieutenant weakly, “How is that student now?”
The lieutenant glanced at her, weighed down with bags, and said, “The barracks cannot treat her, so she was sent away to be treated.”
Can’t be treated?
