Crossing the swamp, scaling the monkey bars, leaping up the cloud ladder, stepping across the balance beam...
Flora's speed was absolutely mind-blowing. She blitzed through all eighteen obstacles in under eight minutes, while most others were still struggling with less than ten.
When Flora finally stood at the finish line, everyone else was still catching up, and they were all left speechless for a good while.
Flora was just incredible...
Jillian knew Flora was fast, but this was beyond her wildest expectations! Her mind was in a whirl, and with an old injury nagging her foot, she slipped off the plank and tumbled right into the swamp...
She plunged headfirst into the muddy water, emerging covered from head to toe, her face barely recognizable.
When the safety officer hauled her out, she was drenched in mud.
Jillian’s old ankle injury flared up, making it impossible for her to continue in the competition.
Once again, she scored a zero in the obstacle assessment.
Eilies and Cynthia managed to push through all the obstacles, looking a bit worse for wear, but they scraped by with passing marks.
And Flora, unsurprisingly, nailed full marks.
Full marks in every assessment!
Even without her regular scores, Flora would still be top of the class!
In the twenty days of military training, fewer than thirty people could achieve such honors.
Jillian had strong regular scores, but too many mishaps in the assessments led Jason to give her a passing score out of pity.
Thus, the twenty days of military training at University of Maple Grove finally came to an end.
That evening, a bonfire party was held as a farewell ceremony.
Despite being pushed to their limits by the instructors over the past half-month, everyone was reluctant to leave. They clung to the instructors, crying their eyes out.
The party ran until eleven o'clock, and the next morning at eight, all the students boarded the bus back to University of Maple Grove.
Flora was texting Connor on her phone, still feeling a bit weak from the previous day's exertions.
Connor: I won’t be able to see you every day anymore, missing you...
