    Chapter 585


    "Oh, thanks for the heads-up." Kelly kicked a pebble, hitting a surveince camera on a tree and


    smashing the screen. Then, she picked up leaves from the ground and slowly covered two other


    ground-level cameras.


    "Problem solved," Kelly said, booting Daryl''s shoulder and sending her sshing into the water.


    Daryl tried to climb out a few times but failed, and so did Noreen.


    Anyone who tried to get out was promptly kicked back in by Arabe and Kelly.


    After being kicked three or four times, they learned their lesson and stopped trying, hoping Arabe


    and Kelly would just leave.


    But Arabe and Kelly didn’t budge, so they were stuck soaking in the water.


    There were changing rooms nearby for those who identally fell into the water. Arabe told Joyce


    and the others to change while she and Kelly stood guard on the shore.


    When they left that day, each person had a small bag with spare clothes. When Mya and the others


    went to change, Kelly kicked pebbles at each of them in the water.


    "This is fun." Kelly said after a round, then turned to Arabe, "Doesn''t this remind you of whack-a-


    mole?"


    "Don''t insult moles like that."


    Noreen was furious but helpless!


    After Mya and the others finished changing, Arabe and Kelly finally left.


    "Girl’s fights are terrifying." Adair remarked on the way, "Guys are much simpler. We just throw a punch


    when we''re upset. If that doesn''t work, we throw another."


    "What? They started it!" Mya corrected him.


    Elsewhere.


    A few instructors separated Roger and Jerome, urgently saying, "Stop it, what''s going on? Lieutenant


    Madden ising soon. Do you want to be punished?"


    "Rookie with no respect."


    Roger wiped his bloody nose and red at Jerome, "Just because you''ve been recognized a few times


    and did a few good things, you think you can show off in front of me? I''ve been here six years longer


    than you!"


    Jerome scoffed, "So what if you''ve been here six years longer? You''re still a loser."


    "What did you say? Say that again!"


    "You heard me! Fix the surveince cameras now. If my students get into trouble, you''re going to pay!"


    Jerome gave the cameras a hard smack.


    Rogerughed, "Don''t think I don''t see it. Arabe is a handful! Who''s bullying is still up in the air?


    Maybe she''s just a spoiled brat."


    Jerome lost his patience and threw a few punches at Roger.


    Arabe and the others passed the high jump, low hurdles, and tire climbing tform and finally


    reached a grass field.


    There were no fences installed here. At first, they thought they were near the finish line, but as they


    moved forward, they lost their way in the thick fog.


    "What''s going on?"


    "We overcame so many obstacles. Why haven''t we reached the finish line?"


    "Why don''t we see the finish line g- the red g?"


    "Is this fog another test?"


    Everyone was increasingly puzzled, even losing their sense of direction.


    "Did you notice that we have already passed this ce?"


    "Right, I remember this tree. It looks very unique. So, we are back where we started?"


    "This is weird."


    Arabe was calm in the face of danger, "Joyce, take off your watch."


    Joyceplied, although a bit confused. She gave her the watch.


    "Arabe, what are you doing?" Mya asked, watching her busy.


    Arabe stuck a small branch vertically into the ground, then ced the watch horizontally on the


    ground.


    "Referencing the shadow of the branch and the position of the hour hand, the direction of 12 o''clock on


    the watch dial and the middle of the scale pointed by the hour hand is south, and the opposite side is


    north. We set off from the north, so if we go in this direction, we should reach the end." Arabe


    pointed.


    Joyce was immediately impressed, "Arabe, you''re amazing."


    The two boys also didn''t expect her to have such professional knowledge. Adair couldn''t help but say,


    "If we didn''t have a watch, wouldn''t we be stuck here?"


    "Not necessarily." Arabe said as she walked forward, "If you don''t have a watch, you can look for ant


    hills. They usually face south."


    "Arabe, you know so much." Mya admired her even more.


    "It''s basic knowledge." Arabe spoke calmly, "It''s taught in textbooks when we were kids."


    "What if there are no anthills?" Adair continued.


    "Then look at tree stumps. The rings can also indicate direction; the side with wider rings is the south."


    "What if there are no tree stumps?"


    "Observe the trees, and there should be trees in the forest, right? The denser side is south, the


    opposite is north."


    After hearing Arabe''s exnation, everyone was in awe of her. As expected of the top student, she


    seemed to know everything, and nothing could stump her!

    "Look, the finish line is there." Arabe pointed.


    Everyone was surprised to see the red g in the grass ahead, so they had passed the test.


    Awesome!!


    Lieutenant Madden heard that Arabe was participating in today''spetition and came to watch.


    As soon as he arrived near the tent, he saw people trying to break up a fight.


    Several muscr instructors struggled to separate Roger and Jerome.


    Both Roger and Jerome had injuries on their faces, and they red at each other with hostility.


    "What the hell are you doing!" Lieutenant Madden''s face darkened as he walked over, "What do you


    think this school is? A ce for fights? Is this how you set an example for the students?"


    Roger immediately stood straight, saluted, and yed the victim.


    "Jerome is pursuing Arabe, a student from the neurology ss. I request a thorough investigation."


    Instructors hitting on students, now that''s a surefire way to get a significant demerit, and in severe


    cases, he would be out of here!


    Jerome reported with full confidence, not to be outdone, "Roger is letting his students bully mine,


    including Arabe!"


    What? Arabe? She''s the student Lieutenant Colonel Capra had been stressing they needed to take


    special care of.


    "What happened to Arabe?" Lieutenant Madden asked urgently.


    "Roger''s students are picking on her, and just when I was about to figure out what was going on, Roger


    shut off the surveince!"


    "You''re slinging mud!" At this point, even though Roger didn''t quite understand why Lieutenant Madden


    was suddenly so concerned about Arabe, the surveince made him a bit jittery.
