This was obviously special treatment that other roles didn't get, and everyone's gaze focused on Jay Monroe, followed by thunderous applause.
The strong admire the strong; as the most crucial role in the team, many people looked at Jay with envy and awe.

No one questioned whether Jay Monroe could handle the sniper position.
