I Became A Mech Soldier After Waking Up in The Future. - Chapter 40

Jeanne and Keiko were about to move the venue to compare and the large troops also moved along. The scene was truly spectacular.

“Remember, the dining hall is only open until 07.00 PM. Don’t be late if you don’t want to miss dinner!”

Lieutenant Lu Diyun didn’t stop them. After all, army training was quite boring, and a little fun like this wouldn’t affect them very much. It’s just that he still deliberately reminded everyone to pay attention to the time. After all, he had checked his bracelet ID and it showed that it was 06.30 PM right now.

After Lieutenant Lu Diyun fulfilled his obligation to remind them, he left first. He still wanted to have dinner. In his opinion, the result of the competition between Keiko and Jeanne had already been set in stone. There was no way the fragile Major Jeanne could cause an upset, so he didn’t want to waste his time watching them compete.

Many soldiers also noticed the tight schedule, so most of the soldiers who were going to watch the fun with them eventually gave up. After training for the whole day, they were really hungry!

Most of the people who came to watch the game were guys who had a close relationship with Keiko and liked to tease her, like Seol-Hyun Ae. Some were Keiko’s “fanatical fans” who admired Keiko, such as Antonio and Connie.

Soon, Keiko and Jeanne were standing on the starting line.

“Are you ready?” Seol-Hyun Ae held a flare gun in her hand, facing the sky, and asked.

Seeing the two nod at the same time, she shouted.

“Ready~”

Bang!

The signal gun was shot.

Keiko and Jeanne reacted at the same time, but their strength was too far apart, Keiko rushed out like a cheetah, and Jeanne was left behind almost instantly.

Going forward along the runway, the first stage was an army crawl where she needed to crawl through the ground net covered with barbed wire. Without the correct movement, not only would the clothes get hooked, but they might even hook into her skin, and wounded her.

But this was so easy for Keiko. When she ran quickly to three meters in front of the ground net, she jumped straight forward, lying on the ground as if she was not afraid of pain, and then passed through the ground net area at an astonishing speed.

After a short run, Keiko reached the second stage, the eight-meter ditch. Keiko increased her pace and then leaped above the 8-meter ditch gracefully as if a pair of wings sprouted from her back. While she was crossing over the ditch, Jeanne had just arrived at the ground net.

The eldest lady was also fighting hard. She didn’t care about her image at all, nor was she afraid of getting dirty. She laid down on her front and crawled beneath the barbed wire hurriedly.

Just now, Keiko had already passed the second obstacle and was running towards the hill run obstacle ahead. The obstacle was around 10 meters tall, with the slope’s angle at a terrifying 60 degrees. Climbing this obstacle was quite taxing, even for a Neo-human with enhanced strength.

Of course, for Keiko, the obstacle in front of her didn’t pose any challenge.

She ran directly upward, and her military boots stepped on the smooth slope in rapid succession, as if she was as light as a feather and had quickly reached the peak. And then, after crossing the peak, she quickly slides down. When she was about to touch the ground, she landed with a forward roll to release the downward force and convert that force into a boost, propelling her forward.

Meanwhile, Jeanne managed to crawl to the middle of the ground net. The training uniform on her back had been hooked and the barb scratched her delicate skin.

She gritted her teeth and, regardless of how painful it was, she continued to move forward.

When she finally crawled out of the ground net, Keiko was long gone, but the eldest lady was not discouraged and continued to run towards the ditch.

Unfortunately, for someone with low physical strength like her, the eight-meter ditch was akin to a natural moat for her, and she didn’t have the ability to jump over it no matter how hard she tried.

The eldest lady didn’t hesitate and jumped inside the ditch, which was filled with mud. With her feet submerged under the mud, reaching her knees, she struggled to walk forward without whining.

Her action shocked the soldiers watching on the outside of the training ground greatly, and they couldn’t help but admire the Major’s perseverance and unyielding spirit.

Jeanne was struggling in the back and Keiko, who was running in front, wasn’t aware of it. From her point of view, since they were competing, she should focus and go all out as a sign of respect for her opponent.

She soon reached the 20-meter long balance beam. With her extraordinary body’s balance, she ran through it at full speed as if running on the wide road. After getting off the balance beam, she entered the paintball obstacle almost immediately.

The paintball launchers hidden all around the course quickly detected that someone was coming and fired several paintballs at her at high speed in succession.

While running, Keiko focused her vision and hearing sense on the surroundings and blasted her way through the course, while executing some strange footwork. Those paintballs were shot randomly without any discernible pattern, so they could only be avoided by relying on reflex and intuition.

The soldiers watched Keiko dodge the oncoming paintballs flawlessly as if she was performing some kind of exotic dance, with wide-open eyes and a dropped jaw.

Keiko successfully went through the obstacle without even a single ball touching her body, getting the zero-mark record and breaking the record! As expected of the Goddess of War!

On the other hand, Jeanne finally waded across the ditch and climbed ashore. She tried her best to dash through the board slope, but she slid back down halfway through the dash.

One was that her momentum was not enough. The other reason was that her shoes became too slippery due to the mud that stained them, greatly reducing the friction force. But Jeanne rushed upward again and again without showing a sign of giving up.

Meanwhile, Keiko was approaching the last obstacle, the 15-meter-high terrifying rock-climbing walls, which was the most troublesome for Keiko.

She decided to take her time and, while she was observing the climbing path on the wall, she was also trying to plan the most efficient route she could take.

While Keiko was still observing the rock-climbing obstacle, after many efforts, Jeanne finally crossed the board slope and carefully came down from the ladder. She could vaguely see the hesitant Keiko at the front.

The hope in her heart lit up and she gritted her teeth and began to accelerate, but after getting on the balance beam, she no longer dared to sprint and could only tread the bridge carefully. As she moved forward, she did not forget to glimpse Keiko’s progress.. At that moment, Keiko had finished her calculations and started climbing.
