When the cadets first heard the order to start jump rope, they were flabbergasted, thinking, "What is this?"
It seemed like a child's game, not something fitting for cadets, and they wondered why they had to do it. The aspiring knights, in particular, were full of defiance.
However, the moment they saw the ropes marked with red...
"What the—what is this!?"
Was this really a jump rope?
...Or was it reinforced steel?
The rope was made of intertwined metal. Could this seriously be used for jumping?
The cadets, wondering if it was just an illusion, picked up the metal ropes, but—
Snap!
It was heavy. So heavy that if they weren’t careful, their wrists might snap. It was that burdensome.
From the handles to the rope itself...
Were they really supposed to jump rope with this?
It was unthinkable.
But—
Swish, swish!
"This is fun!"
Kunta, like a child finding a new toy, started jumping with the rope, and seeing him, the cadets hesitantly decided to give it a try. Maybe it wasn't as bad as it looked?
However, their hopes were short-lived.
"I can't lift it!"
"How are we supposed to spin this thing?!"
Just holding the rope was a struggle; how were they supposed to actually jump with it?
Groan!
Only those who had learned aura techniques could manage, channeling their internal energy at full capacity to get the rope to move.
What they had initially dismissed as a silly child's game had now become a matter of life and death. One wrong move, and they could dislocate their wrists or elbows.
Swish! Swish!
But gradually, some began to gain confidence. Those who knew aura techniques—or even just believed in their own strength—began to think they could manage the required number of jumps.
And then—
Thwack!
Thud...
Swish, swish, swish!
Thwack!
