Chapter 429 Side Story: The International Drill Begins
The most shocked of all was Gavin.
He was, you could say, the unit’s favorite.
Because he was the only real EOD specialist they had.
And now the instructor had just outperformed him.
She’d done what he couldn’t.
Six practically ran to Larissa, his face lit with desperate admiration.
“Ms. Sowle, that was incredible. How did you do that?
“Can I be your apprentice? Please?”
Larissa had never met anyone this uncomplicated.

She nodded. “No need for the apprentice thing. But if you run into a problem from here on out, come find
me.”
Larissa helped untie the professors’ restraints and turned to the rest of the team.
“Get these three on a plane home. Mission accomplished.”
She led them back to base. Mission complete.
There was not a single casualty.
Stories of Larissa’s performance spread through the unit almost faster than they could get back.
Before long, the entire base knew what she’d done.
She became everyone’s idol.
The people who had laughed at her at the start of the training now came to apologize to her one after another, heads down.
Terry’s shift was the most dramatic.
From the day they got back, he started doting on Larissa to an embarrassing degree.
Anyone with eyes could see what was happening. He was actively courting her.
Larissa, on the other hand, hadn’t changed her attitude toward him one inch.
Time moved fast.
The two-week training block ended, and the next day, Larissa led the team out for the international
combat exercise.

On the plane, she once again passed out her emergency pills to every member of the squad.
“One thing. Whatever happens in the competition, all of you come back in one piece. Winning matters, but getting home matters more.”
“Understood, Ms. Sowle,” They said it in unison.
The plane landed in Moblos, at the exercise’s home base.
The second they stepped off the plane, the Moblos hosts started giving them trouble.
The host officer said, dripping with contempt, “You Smeanans. Every year, your team places last. Do you really need to keep showing up?
“This year is your last chance. You should know that.
“If you don’t crack the top ten this year, your country loses its invitation permanently.”
His tone was pure scorn.
Gavin went red in the face and was about to snap something back when Larissa patted his shoulder and fixed him with a look.
Terry stood just behind her, eyes cold and fixed on the host.
“This is how Moblos treats its guests?
“Whatever happens next year, we are here today on official invitation.
“What you’re doing right now-is this your personal behavior?
“Or are you speaking for Moblos as a country?”
Larissa was watching him coldly.
Her stare alone was enough to make his skin crawl.
He hadn’t expected this level of presence from someone so young.
The look in her eyes was the frightening part.
