I Became A Mech Soldier After Waking Up in The Future. - Chapter 41

While Keiko was still observing the rock-climbing obstacle, Jeanne finally crossed the board slope and carefully came down from the ladder after spending a lot of effort. 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.

Slowly but surely, Jeanne finally crossed the balance beam safely, and then she hurriedly entered the paintball obstacle.

The following scene made the soldiers watching on the side struggle to hold down their laughter.

After several failed trials, Jeanne decided to give up dodging the paintball and rushed forward with her hands protecting her head. The paintballs were ruthlessly smashed into her body, and the unexpected pain caused Jeanne to let out a small yelp, while her body was very colorful right now, smeared with colorful paint. The sight was hilarious and pitiful at the same time.

‘By the way, why are you working so hard, Major?’ All the soldiers had the same question on their minds.

At the same time, Keiko had already climbed up the rock wall midway.

Her hands and feet were very agile; both her arm strength and her finger grip were extremely strong. As long as she chose the right path, climbing the rock was naturally easy for her.

Shortly, she had climbed the vertical part of the rock wall and set her sights on the protruding part of the climbing wall.

Keiko hesitated for a moment and decided to take a risk.

She suddenly released her hands, stomped her feet, and her body swung out in mid-air. With precise timing, she stretched her arm upward, clasping the edge of a rock and hanging herself in mid-air with only the strength of her ten fingers.

She was up, hanging at 10 meters above the ground. The thrilling scene made the gallery exclaim in horror. If she failed to catch it, she would fall down in a free fall.

“Horaaa!” She shouted fiercely.

Keiko only relied on the strength of ten fingers to actually perform the difficult pull-ups. The terrifying waist strength enabled her to lift her legs in mid-air and hook them on the edge of a rock.

“Damn it, it defies gravity!” Seol-Hyun Ae, who was watching the game from a pergola in the distance, couldn’t help but curse in excitement.

Jeanne finally reached the last obstacle. Right now, she looked like a walking abstract painting; her upper body was covered with colorful paint, while her lower body was covered with mud. Unlike Keiko, she started climbing without planning her climbing path first.

Just as she began climbing, the sound of “ding dong” rang in the air, signifying that Keiko had reached the top and touched the bell. Keiko had already won this game.

Keiko was already standing on the safe platform above the rock wall. She leaned on the railing, looked below at Jeanne, and shouted, “Major, don’t climb up, it’s too dangerous!”

However, Jeanne ignored her and, as if she didn’t care whether Keiko won or not, she kept climbing on her own. She was clumsily, and with painstaking effort, crawling up little by little.

Keiko’s expression turned gloomy when she saw it and couldn’t help but shout again at her.

“Major! Stop climbing!”

Jeanne didn’t budge even a little and still stubbornly climbed up, reaching the midway.

She seems to be good at climbing. Although her arm strength was not that strong, the path she chose was extremely easy to climb. She was thinking about how to climb while she was climbing, which was several times more difficult than Keiko’s method.

Keiko leaned on the railing while gripping it so tightly that the railing was nearly bent. She felt very anxious seeing Jeanne like this for some reason that she herself didn’t understand.

Although she won the game, she was not happy at all.

She shouted several times, advising Jeanne to give up climbing, but Jeanne was really stubborn. Getting impatient, Keiko’s words became a little bit harsh.

“What’s wrong with you? Do you want to die? Get down now!”

“STOP! TELLING! ME! WHAT! TO! DO!”

Jeanne snapped back at her, gritted her teeth, and continued her way to the top.

Keiko was so angry that she unknowingly gripped the railing so hard it broke into two.

Finally, Jeanne climbed to the section where the rock protruded and finally hesitated.

She was thinking about how to overcome this terrifying difficulty. Her expression was very calm.

Keiko couldn’t stand it anymore. She went down from the safe point and climbed down, intending to catch up with Jeanne.

Originally, the person who climbed to the top could just go down by the stairs on the side, but she didn’t seem to notice it as her attention was fully occupied by Jeanne’s safety.

Jeanne finally started moving. She decided to slowly cross the bulge by hanging upside down. She had already found a nice spot to climb. As long as she could hold it firmly, she was confident that she could reach the top.

But something that she couldn’t foresee happened this time.

Jeanne had been successful in reaching the other edge, but the mud on the bottom of her feet caused her to slip again. And this time, it was fatal.

Jeanne’s feet slipped from the hold and her upside-down body swayed backward, causing her left hand to be thrown off the rock, leaving only her right hand clawed on the edge of the rock. She was hanging with only one hand at a height of more than ten meters, and she was about to fall.

“Jeanne!!!” Keiko, who was watching this scene, subconsciously exclaimed, and hurriedly accelerated to climb down, “Hold on! I’ll save you!”
