Maisie handed a mug of warm water to Raven to warm her hands. “You should be hungry. I still have instant cup noodles in my bag. You gave it to me the day before yesterday, I’ll cook it for you.”Raven nodded, lowered her head, and took a sip of warm water.Maisie turned her head and looked at Raven. “I’m sorry, I’m the one who got you involved.”She did not expect Wynona and the others would make a move on Raven.‘If I didn’t care so much about this matter, wouldn’t Raven be locked there for one whole night?’Raven lifted the corners of her lips and forced out a smile. “I don’t blame you. In fact, I’m pretty lousy myself. I’ve been here for three months, and I haven’t learned anything well. How can someone like me become a secret agent?”Raven could not beat those ladies due to her poor physique, and she had been locked in the toilet and splashed with water. It was embarrassing to think about what she had gone through.Maisie soaked the instant noodles with boiling water, place
“Yes, sir, she came to us and threatened us for no reason. She even hit Wynona. We obviously haven’t done anything wrong.”They had the number advantage and could testify for each other, so they were not afraid of Maisie’s explanation.Maisie was about to say something when the instructor struck the table. “Okay, there’s no need for further explanation. The training camp isn’t the place for you. You can pack up and leave now.”Wynona and the others were smug deep down.‘No matter how powerful she is, isn’t she still the one facing expulsion in the end?’Maisie stood there and did not even budge. The instructor looked at her and was bewildered for a split second. “Didn’t I ask you to go?”“I can’t go.” Maisie’s tone sounded calm. “Besides, they’re the ones who broke the rules first. Why am I the one who’s being asked to leave?”The instructor had never met someone as stubborn and disobedient as Maisie was, so he stood up in anger. “Maisie, don’t push your luck! This is a training
“Have you not picked up anything good from the training camp? Have you only learned how to slander and bully your teammates here? Mr. Leach, you can punish them accordingly. Otherwise, this will happen again in the future.”When the instructor saw that Cherie had intervened with the matter, it was hard for him to say anything, so he said to them, “You girls will go to the field and give me ten laps!”No matter how unwilling Wynona and the others were, they could only accept their fate and leave the office furiously.Maisie followed Cherie out of the office. “Thank you for helping me out.”She could see that Cherie was defending her, so she was grateful to Cherie.“Maisie, there’s no need to be polite with me. By the way, Mr. Goldmann came over yesterday afternoon. Did you tell him that you trespassed the restricted area by mistake?”Cherie had wanted to report it originally, but Nolan already knew about it before she could report it.Maisie turned to look at her. “Aren’t you the
‘Leave? A week left?’Francisco was astonished. “You’re leaving so soon?”“Yes, I’m only here for half a month, and I’ll leave when I get the results of the assessment in a week,” Maisie replied calmly.She had never planned to interact with too many people in the training camp. She could go back home as long as she completed the task given.Francisco was a little disappointed as his little goddess was about to leave.But what to do? All he could do was to watch reluctantly as she left.“Mr. Boucher, there’s no need to waste your thoughts on me.”Francisco, whose mind had been seen through, was a little embarrassed, but he then said seriously, “How can you consider it as a waste? I’m doing so willingly.”“Then I’ll just give it to you straight, I’m… I’m married with three children, so you really don’t have to waste any more time and energy on me.”Francisco was stunned, and it took him a moment to return to his senses and react. “Y-You’re kidding, right? Even if you don’t want
“Sis Maisie, do you really want to be assessed?” Raven asked her softly.“Don’t worry, I’m confident.” Maisie patted her shoulder.At that moment, the instructor and the Lawson siblings walked into the assessment hall. And, of course, Rowena was with them.Maisie looked at Rowena, and her eyes narrowed.‘Why is she here?’Rowena sat in the seat of the deputy examiner, raised her eyebrows slightly, and gave off a faint smile when she exchanged gazes with Maisie.“That’s Ms. Summers. She’s today’s deputy examiner.”“Ms. Summers is so pretty.”Most of the people in the audience were praising Rowena. She had joined the training camp very early in her life and was in the same batch as Hans and Cherie, so it was not wrong for her to be addressed as the senior of the newcomers.However, the appearance of Nolan sent a boisterous discussion around the hall at that moment.“Oh my God, isn’t that Mr. Goldmann?”“Mr. Goldmann actually came to the training camp in person and will even wi
Maisie ignored her, took a black ring out of her pocket, put it on her index finger, turned around, and walked into the ring.Logan followed her into the ring. She was a woman that had short hair and was lean and fit. She was also glancing at Maisie disdainfully.‘They’re asking me to go against such a delicate woman. I’m afraid she won’t be able to withstand a blow from me.‘However, she’ll definitely lose.’As the sand began to flow through the hourglass, Logan only wanted to end the fight as quickly as possible and did not seem to bother wasting time on a newcomer.She dashed toward Maisie, thinking that she could subdue her with only one move.Surprisingly, Maisie turned sideways immediately to dodge her attack, grabbed her wrist swiftly, and pulled her forward.Logan, who had underestimated her opponent, lost her balance for a split second, while Maisie took the opportunity to knock her to the ground.Everyone in the audience was stunned.‘This newcomer can actually fight
Logan’s protest shocked everyone in the audience.“She actually brought along a sharp weapon. That’s considered cheating.”“That’s right, I was just wondering how is it possible for her to win against Sis Low.”Wynona shouted at the instructor, “Maisie hurt people and cheated. This shouldn’t be Sis Low’s loss to bear. This is obviously unfair!”“Yeah!”Wynona managed to instigate the people around her. Even though some of them did not know what had happened, they still thought that Maisie was cheating.Nolan’s face was so terrifyingly gloomy that even the instructor who was standing beside him noticed it. When he was about to announce the result of the match, Maisie bore all the pain, gnashed her teeth, and asked, “Does any of the rules of the assessment clearly say that one can’t hurt their opponent?”The instructor was dumbfounded and replied, “The rules of the assessment didn’t say—”“If none of the rules says so, then why should it be my fault when I’ve hurt her, and it’s n
Raven became nervous after hearing this. She looked at her and said, “Cherie, why did Mr. Goldmann want to see Maisie? Does he think that Maisie is cheating too?”Cherie smiled with a little embarrassment. “Of course not, don’t worry.”Cherie brought Maisie to the office, opened the door, and saw Nolan sitting on the couch with his legs crossed while Hans and Rowena were also there.After Maisie appeared, Nolan ordered the two of them indifferently, “You two, go out first.”Rowena took a glance at Maisie before leaving with a sulky face when she turned around.Cherie, who was the last to leave, closed the door of the office. There were only the two of them left in the office now.“Why are you standing so far away from me?” Nolan squinted and patted the space next to him. “Come and sit here.”“No, this is a training camp, and there are so many people here. It’s not good to be seen by others.” Maisie refused.Nolan’s thin lips were pursed tightly, and his gaze was fixed on her fo
