No one spoke up to ask, afraid that if they did, Huo Chu would beat them up.

Besides the people from the five military academies and Huo Chu, the training ground also had their instructors from the previous session and Ying Xingjue.

During this quiet time, Wei San looked up at the crowd and her eyes met Ying Xingjue’s.

After meeting her gaze, Ying Xingjue looked towards the wall and then lightly tapped his wrist with his finger.

Wei San stared at his beautiful, slender fingers for a long time before suddenly realizing what Ying Xingjue meant.

She glanced at Huo Chu, deciding not to care anymore; the worst that could happen was that she’d get beaten up again.

Wei San suddenly rushed towards the first wall.

The others were still wondering when Wei San started climbing up, and Huo Chu didn’t stop her. Only then did they realize that the competition had already begun.

Damn it, Huo Chu started timing early in the morning, but didn’t say “start”.

What a terrible instructor!

Everyone ran towards the first wall. Wei San was the first to arrive. She took a running start from a distance, jumped high, and reached out to touch the first round nail on the wall. Using the friction from that protrusion, she tried to climb higher.

At this moment, Yamamiya Namiha arrived at the wall second. He flipped over and stepped sideways onto the smooth wall to gain support, reaching even higher than Wei San.

However, in the next second, a strong gust of wind, seemingly out of nowhere, swept across the wall, instantly destroying the little height the two had gained using speed and slight friction.

——The two were blown down.

Wei San and Yamamiya Namiha landed again, and the others also reached the wall, but at this time everyone was blinded by the wind.

It takes all your strength to take a single step forward, and if you slack off even slightly, you’ll be blown away by the wind.

“Damn it, no wonder the training ground seemed so empty when I came in before.” Jin Ke rarely swore. As an elegant commander, he never thought that one day he would be blown away by the wind and his mouth would be unable to close.

Wei San glanced at Damocles Military Academy’s cadets behind her, gritted her teeth, and ignored them.

Huo Chu was still keeping watch nearby.

She looked up at the smooth wall in front of her, jumped up on the spot, and used her finger bones to dig into the round nails on it. She worked so hard that her fingertips turned white before she could barely control her body in the strong wind and prevent herself from falling.

Wei San clung to the round nail, supporting herself with one hand, struggling to open her eyes in the wind, trying to grab onto another round nail, but at that moment the nail suddenly retracted and flattened completely.

Holy crap! This thing moves!

Wei San watched helplessly as the wall became completely smooth, and she slid down until she returned to the starting point.

“……”

Other military academies faced similar situations, but Samuel Military Academy personnel managed to maintain their movements despite the strong winds. Xiao Eli had already climbed halfway up, clinging to the spikes for a very short time, almost a second, before using the momentum to continue forward. The surrounding winds were not so overwhelming for him.

Wei San looked up at his walking style, trying to figure out the trick.

After Samuel Military Academy students climbed the first wall, the soldiers from other military academies made several attempts. The light mecha soldiers began to climb up with difficulty, but they could still be blown down by the wind if they were not careful.

With their experience, others gradually got used to the wind and learned that if the round nail was held onto for too long, it would automatically flatten.

Wei San had memorized the locations of all the round nails on the wall and could recite them even with her eyes closed. Having learned from her previous experience, she kicked the wall and jumped to the second round nail as she climbed the first one.

“！”

Wei San suddenly released the round nail with both hands, letting herself slide down.

She knelt in front of the wall, looking down at her ten fingers, each one pierced.

Now the round nail will stick out barbs, which is completely different from before.

Wei San looked up at the others; they had not been stabbed during the time the round nails shrank.

Was she the only one?

“Holy crap!” Liao Runing also suffered the same thing; the distance he had climbed was now back to square one.

It wasn’t where she had been before, but at another spot with round nails.

Is this random, or is it targeted?

Wei San and Liao Runing exchanged a glance, then got up again and started over.
