Chapter 441: Passing the Assessment

She glanced at Jason's retreating figure, aware that her recent draw was nothing more than a fluke. Jason was still nursing old wounds that had not yet fully healed. Jared approached formally and said to Courtney in a captain's tone, "In one month, you'll face the final assessment. Once you pass, I'll arrange for you to intern and carry out missions in the laboratory."

Courtney saluted, "Yes, I will not let you and the madam down."

Tina smiled at her briefly, impressed by her quick learning.

Jared commented, "The girl has potential; she'll definitely make captain someday!"

Hayden interjected, "Wait a minute, you didn't say that when I became captain!"

Courtney responded, "Am I supposed to be like a husky?"

Courtney stayed at Bureau X's training camp for further training, while Hayden drove Tina and Jared back home.

On the way, Hayden asked, "Serena, do you think Courtney can make it? The training at Bureau X is not for the faint-hearted."

Despite Courtney's draw with Jason today, he was still worried.

"If you could pass, she can too," Tina said nonchalantly, leaning on Jared's shoulder.

Jared nodded in agreement, "Yes, that makes sense."

Glancing in the rearview mirror and seeing the couple's affectionate interaction, Hayden belatedly asked, "Wait, what do you mean 'if I could pass'? I'm much more capable than Courtney!"

Tina raised her brows indifferently, "She's nineteen, how old are you?"

Hayden fell silent, realizing he had spoken out of turn.
