30 Years After Reincarnating, It Turns Out This World Was A Rofan?! novel Chapter 31

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!

...It had clearly struck him hard.

"Oh, a mistake."

But there wasn’t even a scratch on him. He was completely fine, only slightly embarrassed that he had made such an error.

Was this guy even human?

"Doesn't it hurt?"

"It does. But knights endure pain. If you want to be a knight, you have to be able to handle this much."

"I’m not so sure about that..."

It seemed like it was something only he could do, but the cadets wisely kept that thought to themselves.

Ihan hadn’t simply handed out impossibly heavy metal jump ropes because he lacked sense.

He was aware of his unique physical abilities. But that was why he knew something the cadets didn’t.

They were fully capable of handling this.

"Some of you might have noticed by now, but the weight of the ropes differs by color. The yellow ones are average, lightweight jump ropes, the green ones weigh 3 kilograms, and the red ones weigh 10 kilograms."
