After the professor’s words, the students’ grievances were enormous.
With cramps in their legs at one point or another, they forcibly lunged for 300 meters.
In fact, the length of it wasn’t that long so it ended quickly.
“Today wasn’t bad. Didn’t even take more than 20 mins.”
“The professors also have consciences, huh.”
“I want to go back to sleeping more soundly.”
The students’ conversations were a bit relaxed.
Then as if to instilled more resentment, a professor spoke.
“Is the warm up exercise done?”
Since they overly abused their muscles during yesterday’s run, this warm up was to release the pent up tension in their muscles!
The real hell on this training schedule was the coming boat ride.
Eight people riding at once on the wooden boat.
“The rule is simple. One lap around the island paddling your boat.”
Since the professors won’t be able to keep an eye on everyone, they all were enclosed in life vests.
They also rented fishing boats to hover around, to watch out for any accidents that could occur.
Lee Hyun examined the detail of the boat.
‘The boat’s pretty old. Think it’s about 10 years old or so. I don’t have any experience on boats, let’s give it a try.’
Lee Hyun tried to reach for the oars and Choi Sang-jung grabbed hold of them first.
“Hyeong, let me do this.”
“Are you sure?”
“Yea, you get some rest. You can take over once I’m weary.”
Choi Sang-jung was feeling sorry about having left Lee Hyun to endure alone until now.
While the other groups suffered, it was all thanks to Lee Hyun that their current lifestyle was comfortable.
“Kkeungcha!” (exerting force)
Choi Sang-jung rowed.
Kkulreong.
“Huh?”
Kkulreongkkulreong.
With each row, the boat staggered aimlessly. Fortunately, the boat was surprisingly sturdier than it looked.
“Left, go left!”
“Ah! The waves are coming this way!”
The waves were pushing against them at the opposite flow instead of their intended one lap around the island.
Every time the waves came, it rocked the boat back and forth and slowing their speed to a crawl.
Choi Sang-jung and Park Sunjo alternately rowed the boat for more than 40 minutes.
Suddenly, their backs were drenched in sweats.
“Wanna switch to me?”
“Yes, hyeong.”
Park Sunjo got up from the seat and switched to Lee Hyun.
Lee Hyun gripped the oar in both hands tightly. And stirred.
Kkulreong!
The distortion between the forces he exerted and that of Choi Sang-jung was too much!
The boat skewed for a bit before realigned itself.
It was difficult due to the fact one had to take into account of the incoming waves as they row.
‘Not easy.’
