Chapter 78 : Expert climbers and blurs

Peach wasn't struggling as much as she thought she would. There were many fruit trees among the vineyards in their estate and she would climb them for fun or to get fruit to experiment with.

She was also pretty fast since she often hid from her father among them too. So she was basically climbing the platforms and ropes faster than those around her. She smiled to herself as she tied the large white shirt around her waist, putting the white socks she'd found earlier with it.

She jumped off the platform to a balancing beam and laughed nervously, " Kofi's really rubbing off on me. I didn't even think that time ". She rolled off to another Pentagon shaped platform and began climbing again.

Dylan was already somewhat used to the terrain since he had taken part in the rumble last year. Unlike the others who were working hard for theirs, he was stealing his. He would knock them out temporarily, take the clothes and repeat.

He clicked his tongue as he looked around from his platform then up at the control room, " We've been doing this for almost twenty minutes ". He frowned as he sighed and continued moving, " I just hope it's not as long as last time ".

Everyone seemed to be surprised about Byran. The moment he finished announcing, a series of screens showing the students appeared. He glanced at Odette and Hawk as he put on his glasses and got up.

" I'll take the third years, Hawks keep an eye on the second years and.... ". Odette suddenly cut him off, tying up her hair " I'll watch the first years ". He smiled gently [ She gets me. I could've been in so much trouble ] and nodded then looked back at his screens.

The four, being Leo, Lloyd, Rider and Asher just stared at each other in a daze. Asher was the first to jump to his feet, " I wanna help ". He spoke in a sweet singsong voice as he skipped towards Odette, " Mrs Emiko "?

She pushed his cheek that was already inches away from hers and laughed, " Just try to keep your nerves in check ". He nodded, sitting on the chair quietly and watching the screens.

Rider shrugged as he got up, " It's not like I've got anything better to do " and walked towards Hawk " Want some help chief "? He had a slight smirk on as he nodded, " Since it's you ".

Lloyd scratched his head lightly, " What are we supposed to do "? Leonardo sprung to his feet with a smile, " I'm gonna see what the third years are like ". He suddenly ruffled Lloyd's hair, " You stay here and think about what you're gonna give the students ", then ran to Byran before Leo could kick him.

He sighed as he blew the hair out his face, " Why did I agree to this again "? He squinted slightly as he looked at the ceiling [ Now, what am I gonna do about that test? ]

Some students were having a hard time, especially when something kept blurring past them. That something was actually a someone and he had a satisfied grin on his face as he looked around him, " I finally realize why my name's Chase ".

He didn't do a lot of running back home but he was definitely good at hiding. Whenever he had to 'play' with his cousins, he never wanted to be found which allowed him to move a lot better than he thought he could.

He sighed as he held out the pair of white trousers he'd just snatched from someone. He nearly felt bad, being a Yanchol means to remain neutral and fair in everything, and that included life.

But Chase wasn't a typical Yanchol, that was a fact he was reminded of constantly while at home and the more time he spent around Kofi, the more he seemed to accept the fact.

He laughed as he thought of his grandpa's reaction as he leaped to another platform, " He'd be holding that odd cane of his very tightly. He's probably furious right about now.... ". He chuckled, looking up at the control room " I wish I could see his face ".
