Teamwork

Chapter 10: Teamwork

"Take this!"

The blur of shadow attacked me and I counter with a swift block and take the attacker down to the floor with grapple. This all happen in an instant and I had successfully blocked and subdued the aggressor.

While pinning the aggressor face to the floor with his hands behind his back, I take a careful look on the appreance of the aggressor. It is a young boy with red spiky hair, slanted eyes that is glaring at me currently. This young boy is one of the 3 children in the room and the other 2 are approaching to Qin Feng apologetically and a young girl with red princess hair asking the young boy his condition.

"Hey get off me! hm...you look weak but at least you are a bit capable" the red haired boy exclaimed

Seeing that they are harmless and the attack was a test by the boy, Qin Feng shrugged and let them go, he don't want to fight with a young boy with him mentally older.

"Brother long are you alright, are you hurt anywhere?" the young girl asked worriedly

"I am fine just a small scratch, you don't have to worry" the red haired boy brush it off and stood up once again with the girl helping him up.

"I am sorry for this idiot action, he meant no harm, he is just bored waiting. I hope you can forgive this idiot" the other boy with brown hair and a calm composure tried to reconcile with Qin Feng

Qin Feng nod his head and acknowledged him.

'Well I defitenely would not argue with a small kid, so I will let this slide as he meant no harm. I can tell he had reduce the strength of his kick at the end to not hurt me" Qin Feng thought

"let's do a small introduction, I am Lan Ge, the idiot that attack you is Huo Long and the girl beside him is his cousin Huo Wu" the brown haired boy, Lan Ge explained.

"I am Qin Feng, nice to meet you guys" I introduce myself and try to be friendly

We then quickly familiarise ourself with one another and talk about our hobbies, interest and strength. We also took a quick bite and drink to fill up our stomach and planned for the remaining time. Through the discussion of strength earlier, I had learnt that all 3 of the them are quite talented with their cultivation in the middle level of spirit beginner which is already a good talent. It can also be seen that they are trained as well by the look of their physique. Thus they should know some martial art or fighting skill.

"The next test will be a simulation test, by the look of them gathering us together and familiarise with one another means that it is a test that involve the team" I explained

"Same as I thought, the test probably requires us to work together as a team and they will grade our teamwork" Lan Ge said his thought and continued

"Since it is a situational test, they will probably give us a scenario and a task that require us to complete. They will then be able to test for our reaction ability, judgemental and coordination skills"

"Our best bet is to stick together and help one another to finish the test, the test can be anything and we can't guess what the test is about" Huo Long said

"Let's agree we will support each other through the test no matter what, we will get through this as a team!" I announced

"Yea no problem" the 3 of them replied

The half an hour passed by quickly and we were ushered to the test area. We reach a large open area with many obstacles around.

"To pass the test you must complete the task given to you. The task you have to complete is to reach the finish line within a time limit" the supervisor announced to the 9 other teams together with us.

"We will rank the speed of everyone that finish the race and you will get additional point for being ranked highly"

"Without further ado, let the race begin!"

Once everyone heard that it is a race against one another and the time, they immediately rush forward for the race. They charged ahead alone and left their other teammates behind without knowing. Only some calm headed kids that remain clear minded and reminded their team to group together and proceed the obstacles together. Qin Feng and his team did according to plan and stayed together as they ran through the obstacles

We proceeded pass the obstacles course easily without any hipcupped but had been relatively slowed down by staying together and matching each other pace. As the time goes on the distance of the loners that charged ahead gets further and further ahead and some calm headed team got agitated.

"These obstacle course is so easy, we don't need to work as a team" Huo Long said in disgrunt

It can be seen that the other calm headed team also had the same thought and change there strategy to rush ahead individually.

"What are we waiting for let's go, we are being left behind" Huo Long say agitatedly

"Something is not right, the test cannot be so easy, we already figured out that the test is about teamwork, the real test haven't started we should not relax yet" I explained to my team as other team rush ahead

"I agree with Qin Feng, let's wait a bit longer, the test given cannot be so simple" Lan Ge agree as well

The Huo brother and sister decided to trust the team and stayed together as a team. It was halfway through the course when there is some fighting ahead of the Qin Feng team.

As they approach they saw people fighting with robots and traps ahead that have been set off. Many of the individual that charged ahead themselves were caught in traps or having difficult time handling the robot as they cannot pass through the team of robot. Some tried to regroup as a team but it is proven to be a challenging task as they are too occupied.

Qin Feng group arrive to the warzone and pass throught the group of robots easily. As a team they quickly handled the robots in their path with Qin Feng in the lead rampaging among the robots. They cleared a path through quickly before any other robots arrived to entangle them. The traps that manage to stumble many also prove to be not as effective on Qin Feng team as they are able to help each other spot the traps and get each other out each time they unluckily triggered a trap. Qin Feng team manage to go through the obstacles easily but Huo Wu got tired after the intense frighting and running thus the whole team slow down with her.

Other teams have manage to get together in the end and get through the traps and robots. They then abandon the team once again and rush ahead to the finish line that was not too far ahead. Some teams have also manage to run pass Qin Feng team and Huo Wu tried to pursuade the rest to go ahead without her.

"Please go ahead without me, I am too tired, I might not be able to finish the race" Huo Wu explained tiredly

"No! We already decided that we will get through this together no matter what. We will finish the race as a team, come jump on my back I will carry you" I passionately said and offered to piggy back her

"Wawawa... you don't have to brother Feng" Huo Wu said as she blush

I ignored her denial, bent down and carried her on my back easily. " let not waste time anymore, we have a race to finish. Oh and Huo Wu don't worry you are not a burden to me, you are very light" I said and try to lightened her guilt.

"Thank you" She shyly thanked with her head buried

"Yeah, thanks to brother Feng, let's go quickly finish the race" Huo Long exclaimed

In the end we managed to finish the race on time but was very exhausted after the intense long obstacle race. Half of the participant did notanage to finish the race as they wasted too much energy previously on the fight and the traps which shows that teamwork was vital in conserving energy for the whole race.

Qin Feng team was glad that the plan went well and was happy that they finish the race. Furthermore they also thank Qin Feng for his leadership and helping Huo Wu without abandoning her.

"Everyone that finish the race, you did well, well done! But you are still not done yet, you still have one more task!"

"The task is...."
