Though she still had twenty minutes left in her training, Ellis had already spoken to the staff. As the team leader,
he had the authority to arrange special meals whenever drills or duties clashed with regular dining hours.
No one else had the faintest clue about any of this.
Freya looked at the food placed in front of her, genuinely caught off guard.

everyone this afternoon.”
Freya gave a small nod and began to eat. Neither of them said another word.

“Don’t worry,” Ellis replied casually as they walked. “I'll schedule it ahead of time.”

drained to twitch a finger.
Once, they had still found the strength to chat after training. Now, even breathing felt like a chore.
“Three more laps,” Ellis ordered, his tone cold and clipped, his combat gear spotless and imposing. “Finish them,
then go have lunch.”
The group traded exhausted glances. They were far too wiped out to even think about food.

The second they read the menu, their eyes lit up.

around the training field.
