The fact that Sophia had managed to lead Company 49 to a meal with meat in it quickly spread across the entire barrack. Most of the companies started following in their footsteps as they grouped together and took action. They started using skateboards to buy themselves time and started swimming—just like what Sophia had done.
In order to land themselves a meaty meal, they had to strive for it. These noble children did not think that they would have to get themselves covered in mud just to have some meat in their meals. All the drill instructors seemed to have ignored the students’ behavior.
No one knew if they were being supportive or against their actions as they had not made any comments about it. Nevertheless, they did not stop them. Thus, Sophia assumed that they had agreed to it.
Without a doubt, she had a spy by her side who easily went undercover inside the enemies’ base. Whenever she was unclear about the instructor’s orders, she would let her spy go undercover.
“The commanders from the other companies will certainly admire Commander Ford for having a batch of intellectual students. Unlike the others, they are all self-righteous idiots!”
After Nathan had gone out to acquire more inside news, he came back and announced this in front of the 30 other girls who were in the dorm.
The crowd was stunned. They did not expect the other commanders to have such good remarks for them. Everyone was exhilarated before they gave Nathan hugs one after another. It was great having Nathan!
Nonetheless, they were completely unaware of Nathan’s background. Most of them thought that none of the commanders had noticed him when they were chattering because Nathan was just a little boy. Much to their surprise, Nathan was a really intelligent boy whenever he came back with all the secret information.
While most of the girls were still going on in excitement, Nathan dropped another piece of groundbreaking news. “The commanding general has been paying close attention to Company 49. He’s said that your performance is outstanding, but he’s worried that it wouldn’t persist for long.”
“Oh my God. Even the commanding general is following us closely!” the girls exclaimed in utter disbelief.
“Are you telling the truth, Nate? Even the eldest Young Master of the Fletcher Family is paying close attention to us?”
“I feel very blessed. Even the commanding general has been looking at me the whole day!”
Nathan nodded with a straight face. “The commanding general even mentioned that the barracks would select the three best companies each year where everyone would receive a prize.
This time, if the 49th Company is awarded with the award, he will have dinner together with all the students from the company.”
Dinner together! Immediately, everyone started cheering joyfully. It would definitely be a great blessing if they could have dinner together with the commanding general!
The bunch of girls were on cloud nine. At that moment, they were charged with boundless motivation. Nathan looked at most of the girls who were very excited, and he thought to himself in his mind, They sure are easy to fool! Nathan was not excited at all. In fact, he wanted to laugh at them.
Just then, Sophia called for everyone. “Alright, guys. That’s enough cheering about. Among the several hundreds of companies, only three companies will be awarded the prize; it won’t necessarily be us.
If we really want to have dinner together with the commanding general, we shall all do our best! The internal affairs should be checked thoroughly. Since we had several points deducted from us a few days ago, we shouldn’t make any more mistakes.
Therefore, we ought to unite and we will be stronger together as one! If we don’t work hard enough, how are we supposed to defeat the other companies and win the chance of having dinner together with the commanding general?”
Joel did pay more attention toward the 49th Company. Nonetheless, the remaining words were just nonsense that Sophia had told Nathan to say. However, the effects of the bluff proved to be extraordinary; those words had amped up the girls’ motivation.
That night, they learned how to fold their quilts voluntarily. Soon enough, they’d be able to fold up their quilts into perfect cubes in order to score the highest for internal affairs. They wanted the commanding general to notice them!
Sophia twitched her lips after seeing the enthusiasm of those girls. Joel is indeed famous among the girls—he’s simply more sought-after than meat.
