After leaving the jungle, Matthew saw Cynthia sitting on the ground, furrowing as she rubbed her arms and shoulders. It was evident that Matthew had used his full strength during their encounter.Upon his arrival, Cynthia glanced at him but quickly averted her gaze. However, she made a silent decision: someday, she would defeat this man!"Does it hurt?" Matthew tossed a water bottle to her.Cynthia caught it and murmured in agreement. Matthew opened his own water bottle, and he said as casually as he could, "Cherish the comfort you have today because there will be even more painful challenges awaiting you."Cynthia pondered why she had thought he was expressing concern just now."Captain, she's just a young girl. Don't scare her away," one of the team members spoke up."Exactly!""She's the first to finish.""We should handle girls with care."The team members chimed in one after another.Matthew cast a nonchalant glance over them and asked, "Are you sure you want me to handl

Accepting the watch did not violate any of the organization's rules, so Matthew took it. After putting the watch back on his wrist, he gave her a meaningful glance and said, "In return for this watch, I'll have someone look out for you during training.""That's not what I meant," Cynthia quickly explained. She was simply offering compensation and thanks. She did not understand why he brought up this idea of looking out for her.Matthew glanced at her but remained silent. Seeing him this way, Cynthia felt compelled to clarify her intentions. At that time, her innocence led her to misunderstand what Matthew said. She had no idea that his 'looking out for her' meant intense, almost brutal training, the kind that would yield harsh results."Are you even listening?" Cynthia asked again after getting no response from him. She was becoming anxious."I heard you. You can rest assured about the 'looking out for you' part. I won't be in charge of training you guys after this. I don't control

[Gaby: I think we all met him on that day.][Cynthia: No, it was during the first assessment. The one who chatted and laughed with David was also him.]Everyone in the group was taken aback, and even Mitchell was surprised.[Alex: If we're talking about the most memorable moment, it has to be the second assessment.][Linus: Yeah, I agree. David's second assessment was something else. He told us it was an urgent mission, and we needed to be ready, but it was another test.]Reading this, Cynthia recalled the second assessment. They were in the wilderness for training when David received a message about a nearby hostage situation, and they were needed for a rescue mission.David's expression had been extremely serious then. He was only leading a team of two, and the rookies volunteered to join him. Initially, David had rejected their request, stating they were just newcomers with only a month of training, and it would be a suicide mission for them.However, they insisted on going.

"It seems like it," Gaby added after taking another look at Matthew.Cynthia thought he looked familiar and asked, "Have we met him before?"Riley, Gaby, and Mitchell exchanged puzzled glances, then turned their attention back to her.Cynthia was taken aback by their stare, asking, "What's the matter?""I always thought you were the studious type, focused solely on learning. Turns out you're quite interested in this too," Riley teased.Cynthia denied it, insisting that she merely felt like she had seen him before but was sure she had not. However, she could not deny that Matthew was quite good-looking. "Everyone, this is Matthew Quier. From now on, he's your instructor, responsible for everything related to your training," David informed them as he approached.The seven of them stood straight and greeted Matthew."Mm," Matthew replied simply before looking at David again.David was confused, wondering why Matthew was looking at him."Are you interested in staying to train wi

"Yes, Captain!" Then, they swiftly prepared themselves. However, when they picked up those backpacks, they realized the weight was different from their previous loaded cross-country run. Even so, they did not voice their concerns and just shouldered the bags and prepared to set off.Before long, a vehicle arrived. Matthew took the driver's seat, giving them a brief command, "Let's go." With those words, they fell into a neat formation and followed.The start was not too bad. They had some foundation from their previous training. However, as they covered several kilometers, they struggled, and their pace gradually slowed."Captain said only the top three will get lunch. The last person will have to run twenty laps around the training ground after the training," the person in the passenger seat announced over a loudspeaker.Everyone gulped, extremely shocked by the announcement. Nonetheless, they clenched their teeth and persisted.After that, the crew member retreated from th
