“And.” Quinlyn added and pointed to the side, ‘pregnant women shouldn’t be climbing mountains. They can rest over there?

Austin turned and saw the nearby pavilion. He turned pale with shock and anger. But he didn’t want to admit his mistake, nor could he accept that his challenge was doomed from the start.

So, putting on a stern face, he said, “The point of this trip is to build strength, not to slack off with petty tricks. How do you expect to succeed with that attitude?“

Quinlyn thought Austin was seriously out of touch. “But didn’t you say the starting line was crucial?” She’d already gained an advantage by staying put.

“…” Austin was somewhat speechless and could only grit his teeth. “Fine, there’s a new rule: everyone has to climb the mountain and find the targets in the temple,” he added.

“Okay,” Quinlyn said, shrugging and starting to climb the steps. Austin felt oddly powerless–like punching a pillow. Kids these days were really something else.

By the time Quinlyn had counted fifty steps, she saw students taking breaks. More and more yellow hats piled up on the steps, causing tourists to start complaining.

Someone said, “Of all places for a school trip, why choose a temple that’s so hard to climb? Is the school crazy?”

Enoch, the instructor in charge of student safety, along with the teachers, felt pretty embarrassed. They were caught between monitoring the students and urging them to keep moving so they didn’t block the path.

Halfway up the hill, Quinlyn finally found Mandy. Seeing Mandy climbing on all fours, exhausted, Quinlyn grabbed her backpack and pulled her over to the shade of a tree. “You need to rest if you’re that tired, or you’ll faint.”

Mandy used to be weak, but now she was determined. Even with a fresh scar on her forehead, she insisted on joining the trip and had made it through the first three days.

Before the challenge started, Quinlyn had told Mandy to wait halfway up. She had planned to find ten people at the base of the mountain and then go back up to help Mandy finish the task.

Now that the plan was ruined, she didn’t stress. After drinking some water and eating a bit of bread, she waited for Mandy to get better before pulling her along to keep going.

“Quinlyn, if I finish this on my own, will I be as great as you?” Mandy panted, but she was still pushing herself.
