"Thanks," Emma whispered, walking slowly alongside Irina in order to cool down. "I think I may have overdone it a little," Emma scratched her cheek, limping ever so slightly as she walked. Her legs were going to be very sore tomorrow, it had been a long time since she last ran like that. The rush of adrenaline was now fading and Emma was left exhausted. "I hope the next test isn't as hard as this one, I don't think I can do anymore running," Emma shook her head, braids bouncing. "I hope we can do classwork after," Emma had never been to a formal school, therefore she was more excited to sit in a classroom environment and learn about all of the things she had never gotten to. Of course, these would all be military related, but it would give Emma insight as to how the minds of the Republic Military worked, which would prove as valuable information to the rebellion... if Emma ever made it home.
Once more they lined up on the white line, waiting for the instructions Roz would give them. Roz blew his whistle, four very long ropes falling from the ceiling. They unfurled gracefully, swinging ever so slightly until they finally settled above bright blue mats. "For the second part of this class, you'll be climbing these ropes. At the top of each rope is a bell that you'll need to ring. Once you've rung the bell, you must let go of the rope and fall back on the mat." Roz went over to the mat, showing them the proper technique to fall and instructing them that if they fell wrong, it would be very painful. "We'll be doing this based on the last exercise, therefore the slowest ones will go first. This is a timed test people! So look alive!" All three girls ended up on the lines side by side, each one last because they had been the longest. Emma took a seat at the end of the line, her feet aching.
"It's kind of funny watching everyone fall," Miiko giggled, at least, until it was her turn. She looked back at Roz and sat down on the floor, undoing her laces. "What do you think you're doing cadet?" Roz asked, blowing his whistle. Emma stood, her shoes and socks having been peeled off. "I'm climbing the rope," she replied, somewhat confused. "You didn't say I couldn't take my shoes off," Roz considered this point, then nodded. "Fine," he turned back, retreating to his coach seat. Emma was acutely aware of the fact that people were staring at her. Her line had moved up rather quickly, she only had three tries to climb the rope. Emma grabbed the end of it and wound the bottom around her foot, beginning her climb. She was about two feet up when she slipped and fell.
The boys laughed, no doubt believing she just had been lucky. Emma needed to prove them wrong. She bit down on her lip and clambered up the rope, slowly and methodically pulling herself up until the end. With a whoop of success, Emma rang the bell and let go, screaming as she fell, hitting the mat on her butt. She shimmied off of it, her hands raw and red, but her smile wide. "I did it!"
