Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life novel Chapter 353

"Want one?" Flora pulled two oranges from her pocket and handed them to Cynthia.

Cynthia swallowed hard, her hands trembling as she took them. "Flora, if you don't start trying harder, you're not even going to pass," she blurted out, unable to hold back any longer. Flora looked so calm and composed, it was frustrating.

Cynthia herself wasn't doing great either, running in such a poor state that she was worried she wouldn't make the cut. Flora raised her hands, interlocking her fingers, palms facing up, and stretched. She squinted against the sunlight, watching the crowd ahead of her.

"Alright, you stay safe. I'm off," Flora said before she disappeared in a flash.

Cynthia was so stunned that the oranges slipped from her hands, hitting the ground with a soft thud. Flora had been running so poorly that the drone had switched to filming Jillian instead, missing the whole impressive scene.

"It looks like that girl's stamina isn't great," Connor Smith, the military base consul, said with a hint of disappointment. They had high hopes for Flora, expecting her to amaze them again. But not everyone could excel at everything. With her slender arms and legs, long-distance running wasn't her forte.

Still, Flora's shooting skills alone were enough to get her into the national military base. She could be trained as a specialist. Jillian, on the other hand, seemed to be a jack-of-all-trades and deserved careful nurturing.

Connor couldn't help but smile at the thought of Flora's carefree attitude. The girl was just messing around. "Remember to negotiate with the University of Maple Grove about Jillian, our key candidate for versatile training..." Connor trailed off, something on the large screen catching his eye.

Flora, like the wind, was passing one person after another so quickly that even the drone struggled to capture her, leaving only trails of her movement. The camera zoomed in on her. Her face was flushed, lips curled into a smile, occasionally pulling an orange from her pocket to eat. She was as casual as could be, yet her speed was unreal!
