How Can a Soldier Be So Fair? (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 18

The grueling special training had finally come to an end, and before anyone realized it, the day of the exam had arrived.

Before the exam began, the trainees gathered at the training ground to practice the martial arts skills they still lacked.

While Yeon Woo was seated and performing warm-up stretches, Dae Bok, sitting beside her, struck up a conversation.

“I sure do. Your face looked as pitiful as a drowned puppy in the rain.”
