Chapter 18 18 Testing(2/2)
Claire sneered and said: "That's true."
"So no matter what, you are the unlucky guy who is ready to be beaten." Roy concluded.
Claire smiled even more:
"You can't say that. The people we usually spar with in class are usually the same, so I chose you."
"..."
Faced with Claire's straightforward explanation, Roy had nothing to say.
"What do you think will happen to you if I fail this test?"
Claire shook violently, hugged Roy's shoulders, and said pleadingly: "We are friends, right?"
Roy nodded...
"Have you never done this kind of test?" Claire suddenly asked.
Roy nodded without thinking.
"Then you can follow me later. This kind of test is usually done by two people running at the same time. Pay attention to learn my movements. There are certain skills in this thing. Even the number of steps is fixed when climbing over the wall.
Pay attention to speed and rhythm." Claire explained to Roy while walking.
"good."
When the two of them walked to the front, elves had already started running.
It turned out that just like Claire said, a group of two people were testing at the same time.
There were Silver Moon elves, mixed-blood elves, Roy and Claire in the queue.
There are almost more than two hundred students in this training class. It will definitely take some time for everyone to finish.
Finally it was Roy and Claire's turn.
The two stood in front of the starting line, Claire looking like she was familiar with the road.
Roy looked much more nervous, and even his palms were sweating.
"Ready, start!"
It was not Instructor Abbott Nora who gave the orders.
In order to observe the specific performance of the students, the instructor stood on a high platform in the middle of the track.
Roy followed Claire's pace and started jogging in small steps.
The speed of the two of them was not very fast. The first obstacle was a puddle with two logs placed on it as a bridge. If they wanted to pass the puddle smoothly, they had to cross the bridge.
This log is thin and long, and it is obviously a test of balance ability when running.
Claire rushed onto the log with almost no slowdown. He stretched his hands flat and rushed forward with light steps.
It seems very simple. Claire can clearly pass the logs lying on the puddle in a few steps with her hands stretched out, but when she gets to Roy, she runs in danger...
When he climbed over the first wooden wall, Roy took off too hard and his first foot hit the wooden board a little too high, causing him to be unable to keep up when he stepped on the second wooden wall.
His body bounced back, but fortunately Roy's quick hands and eyes caught the edge of the wooden wall, and he almost managed to flip over.
Obviously, as long as you grab the edge of the wall with both hands and push up hard, you can straddle the wall.
But when it came to Roy, he seemed very clumsy...
There were several obstacle walls at the back, one higher than the other, and they changed from wooden to stone. If Claire, who was running in front, hadn't turned around quickly and pulled him, he might have stopped at the second stone wall.
Front.
"Adjust your breathing rhythm..."
Claire followed him and kept whispering reminders.
"Don't worry about running speed, it's not a major deduction."
"Remember, you have to put at least two feet on the wall to reach the top edge of the wall."
"Later, look at the center and grab the most severely worn parts of the wall. There will always be easy places to borrow strength there..."
It took some effort to get through the first stone wall.
Roy was almost stopped here at the second wall, but luckily Claire helped him.
When he encountered the highest stone wall, Roy rushed over in one go, and his movements became much smoother...
Roy feels that he is best at running, and he usually goes for morning jogs on the beach.
He rarely saw elves running. In order to maintain elegance and calmness, the elves usually walked with graceful steps. Even if they were in an emergency, they would walk around quickly.
But now, seeing those elves climbing over the wooden wall with agility, Roy felt a sense of frustration in his heart.
Finally, after the stumbling run, Roy and Claire stood in front of instructor Abbott Nora.
The female elf held a white parchment book in her hand, found Claire's name on the list, and wrote the word 'passed' after the name.
When she saw Roy, she gave him a deep look:
"The speed is okay, but your body is not flexible enough."
This was her first evaluation of Roy.
Roy nodded guiltily.
Instructor Abbott Nora continued:
"Your body's flexibility is also much poorer, and your joints are also very stiff. In this case, you will encounter more difficulties than others when learning primary martial arts..."
"You have the worst physical coordination."
"So you must improve your body's various abilities as soon as possible, otherwise you won't be able to do the subsequent exercises at all, let alone whether you will pass the final test."
"Think about it, or you can do some basic exercises this year, and you can choose to come back a year later."
Roy hesitated for a moment before saying to instructor Abbott Nora:
"Teacher, what can I do to catch up with my physique?"
Instructor Abbott Nora said to Roy: "Strengthen daily exercise, including gymnastics to enhance flexibility. It is best to do some exercises to enhance balance when running..."
"I will improve my physical fitness as soon as possible. I want to take classes!"
Roy said a little stubbornly.
He didn't want to just give up the opportunity to learn elementary martial arts.
Abbott Nora frowned, lowered his head seriously and thought for a while, and finally agreed to Roy's request and said:
"Okay, but you have to remember that I won't give you any preferential treatment during the final test."
Claire was standing aside. When she heard what instructor Abbott Nora said, she immediately pulled Roy and ran out.
"I thought you would choose to give up." Claire took a long breath and said.
"There's nothing to give up. You still have to sign up next year."
Roy said casually.
After saying that, he saw that Steve had also completed the physical test, and it seemed that he had passed it successfully.
There was a weird smile on his face when he looked over here...
