115 Being Watched (1/2)

”Faster! Do you think you'll be able to escape your enemy with that speed?”

The troops shouted in unison, ”No captain!”

”Then move faster! The swifter you are the easier you can escape from your opponent's eyes.”

”Yes, captain!”

With Rin's orders, the men climbed up the mountain at a quicker pace. Observing them from below, Rin suppressed the satisfied smile on her face as she watched the men put more effort into their climbs.

Near a mountain path, a few yards from the Jilin province was Rin and her troop of Jilin soldiers.

As part of their training, the men were harnessed by a strong rope while their bodies climbed up the mountain's walls.

Personally taught by her Uncle Guo, Rin learned that while nature was often at times man's greatest enemy, it could also be your greatest asset. One could utilize it to their advantage with the right tools and knowledge.

”That's enough, you can all come down now,” Rin commanded.

The soldiers inwardly released a breath of relief at hearing her words. They may have looked calm and collected on the outside, but inside only they knew their hearts were pounding from being up so high!

Some men froze while climbing but were quickly pointed out by Rin who ushered them to move faster.

Climbing down swiftly, the men sighed. Hearing small footsteps walking in their direction, the troops looked up to see the small, yet fierce boy stare at them with his usual sharp, unfeeling eyes.

Glancing around at the group of built and tall men, Rin's gaze remained undisguised, her voice icy. ”You all did well today, however, you must improve your form and speed level. Your enemy may not know how to climb like you, but what if they wield an arrow? You'd all be shot and killed in an instance.”

The soldiers nodded their heads, ”Yes, captain!”

Reaching into the bag by her side, Rin takes out a set of small booklets, each the size of her palm. ”These are booklets filled with notes and tips you need to perform in your upcoming session. Study and practice it.”
