Cheetah Alive

The one who looked the most satisfied unsurprisingly–was Gerald

He never thought fortune would tilt in his favor quite re this. While Nadia’s team came across nothing more than a skittish rabbit, Maren’s team found themselves face–to–face with a deadly predator.

“So, you skipped out on my lesson because you thought it’d be a waste of time? Let’s see how you manage now,” Gerald whispered to himself

Given how vastly different the two situations were, every judge Gerald included–shifted their focus to what was unfolding with Waren’s team.

There was something in the cheetsh’s gaze that endised a chilling meant to kill. Dried blood clung to the corner of its mouth, possibly leftover from a recont hunt, giving it in swan mors fearsome presence.

Morris‘ eyes flicked toward the drones circling overhead. His hesitation was obvious.

“Let me remind you–whoever wins this whole thing gets a straight shot into the military. That doesn’t interest

you at all?” Maren asked, sharp and deliberate.

“Shouldn’t this be more your area of expertise?” Morris still didn’t understand how any of this made sense.

Although he had skill and potential, he knew the moment Maren entered the picture that his chances of claiming first place had vanished entirely.

“And what if I don’t care about joining the military?” Maren asked again, her gaze steady.

“What are you trying to tell me?” Morris had a suspicion, but it was so far–fetched he couldn’t accept it just yet.

“It’s not complicated. If I take the top spot, I’m not going through with it. That means second place gets the offer.” Maren didn’t dance around her point.

“You’re handing me a path into the military?” If Morris still didn’t understand, there really was no helping him.

“Not interested?” Maren asked, raising an eyebrow.

“Interested? I’m beyond interested! want this more than anything!” Morris blurted, barely containing his excitement. It felt like the universe had just handed him a miracle. “But why? Why would you do something like this for me?”

“That’s not something you need to figure out. Just make sure you return the favor one day,” Maren said without emotion.

She had no desire to serve under anyone. That alone was reason enough to turn down the military offer. But she wasn’t blind to its power.

In a place like Voutsas, families with ties to the military–like the Marshalls–could bend the rules and trample whoever stood in their way.

Coming out on top in the joint competition among the five elite military academies meant not just glory, but immediate entry into the system with status and opportunity.

So, if she couldn’t control the system herself, why not plant someone who would listen to her inside of the military?

She’d thought this plan through long before now.

And out of everyone, Morris was the best fit to carry it out.

“You have my word, Maren. I’ll never forget what you’re giving me. From this point on, whatever matters to you matters to me too!” Morris had grown up in a modest family, without backing or influence. He’d never even dared to imagine something like this.

If he really did manage to step into the military, his family would rise in status and enter the ranks of the major families in Baimsa.

This wasn’t just an act of kindness–Maren was rewriting his future.

“That’s what I wanted to hear. Now, follow what I say. I’ll make sure you catch that cheetah alive, walk away with the highest score, and leave every other team behind.” Maren clapped him twice on the shoulder, steady

and firm, to help calm his nerves.

Morris straightened up, focus returning to his eyes.

“For the future I never thought I’d have–count me in!” he said, his spirit reignited.

The competition was built on a scoring system. Every round added to the total, and final placement depended on cumulative performance.

Morris had fallen behind Nadia and Wilbur during the shooting round. But this survival task was his shot at turning the tide.
