Becca Reyes stepped out of the crowd and questioned Austin Shepherd.
After the New Year, according to the rules, they would be on holiday for seven days. Although these new recruits had training obligations, they would also have three days of rest.
Theoretically speaking, it wouldn't matter if they left the cooking class three days later.
"No."
Sensing the serious and tense atmosphere in the kitchen, Austin Shepherd immediately replied with a firm answer.
He estimated that, if he said "Yes", he wouldn't be able to safely step into the cooking class's territory for a short time.
"Eh, what are you guys waiting for, aren't you going to welcome the new comrades?"
At this critical moment, Austin Shepherd tactfully diverted the subject, pushing forward the two new cooks behind him. He winked and gestured at the "old cooks" to wake up and at least let the newcomers feel the friendliness of the new environment.
