Better Than Them

The students from the United States Naval Academy inadvertently increased the pressure on the students from all over the world. Although only four students were sent as representatives, they cooperated with the students from West Point. Under the lead of the naval students, the group of 16 students maintained their speed at the same level. There was no big gap between them.

The tactics used by the American students complemented each other. Most countries used the strong to lead while the weak were left to chase after them. The result of using such tactics was that the strongest would run far away while the weakest would fall far behind. It was fine if it was just a difference of a few hundred meters. However, when it came to climbing, the disadvantages of such tactics would make themselves known. The students at the back wouldn't be able to see their own students at all!
