Chapter 102 Ulterior Motive.
Carl asked, “Are you sure there’s nothing else you need?”
It was strange. George had personally come over to deliver a bunch of valuable items without any warning. It made Carl feel uneasy.
“I just drove by and saw a lot of students here. Are those Taragon University freshmen in military training? George suddenly asked.
“Yes, they are. Would you like to take a look? Feel the energy of the young ones,” Carl suggested.
“It’s fine.” George stood up and walked over to the desk.
He took Carl’s binoculars and walked to the window. He said, “I’ll watch from here.”
Carl was puzzled by his behaviour.
At the obstacle course, which located 200 metres away,
Isabelle broke the military’s 150–metre obstacle course record with astonishing speed, beating their highest record by a full eight seconds.
The entire field was in an uproar.
“Instructor Dittman, you set the 150–metre obstacle course record back then. What was your time?” his colleague questioned Chase once he had calmed down. He watched Isabelle walk back slowly, shook his head in amazement, and praised, “This girl is something else.”
Chase didn’t respond immediately. His gaze remained fixed on Isabelle. After a moment, he said, “She wasn’t using her full strength.”
He told her previously that he hoped she could keep her calm attitude in the next few days.
That girl told him that she wished the same for him.
Chase suddenly remembered the conversation he had with Isabelle.
“Not using her full strength, huh?” His colleague was astonished and said, “She’d make a great soldier. It’s a pity she’s just a girl.”
“Can you really see anything from here?” Carl peered through the window and saw George.
He looked out at the field, which was filled with students in military uniforms. It was impossible to tell who was who
“Who are you watching?” Carl noticed George seemed to have a specific target in sight.
Instead of answering, George asked, “Is this year’s freshman military training any different from previous years?”
Carl answered, “It’s the same/every year. What do you mean?”
“For instance, are there any students with outstanding physical abilities?”

“Outstanding? These scrawny kids? You must be joking, Carl replied, finding George’s behaviour increasingly odd.
George raised an eyebrow. Did she behave herself?
Or hamn’t the news reached General Saratt’s ears?
He was familiar enough with Isabelle to suspect the latter possibility,
George stood by the window for over half an hour.
Finally, he put down the binoculars and walked away from the window.

At the very moment he turned around, Isabelle, who was trailing behind the group heading to the cafeteria, looked towards the window.
“I brought some supplies for the female students in training. Could you distribute them for me?” George said.
Carl was shocked, asking, “What? You brought something for the female students?”
There have to be something fishy going on! This is too glaring to ignore.
A soldier nearby whispered to Carl, “It’s some sunscreen and mosquito repellent.”
Carl directly asked, “What’s all this about today?” George replied, “Just doing what I can to support the youth of our nation. It’s no big deal.”
Isabelle arrived late at the cafeteria, finding only a few sandwiches and salads left.
“You can have this. Someone handed her a plate of sumptuous food.
Isabelle turned to see a somewhat familiar face.
She remembered. This was the guy the originál Isabelle liked from Norward High–Mike something.
Isabelle had an excellent memory and never forgot a face.
However, in her previous life as Blood Shadow, she had met more people and experienced more events than she could count.
A passerby like Mike wouldn’t have stuck in her memory if not for the original Isabelle’s strong recollections.
She glanced at him, took a bite of her sandwich, and walked off with her salad.
“Even the finance department’s popular guy is fawning over Isabelle‘
“I’m a girl, and even I’d go for her. Imagine being a guy. Heck, even as a girl, I’m jealous that I didn’t have a willy. I wish those guys would stay away from my goddess and let her shine alone.”
