The Reincarnation of the Tough Empress Being a Neglected Wife
Eps. 56

After Lexi was taken away and Axel was back in line, the atmosphere in the place became silent. Not long after that someone cleared his throat and informed him that the exercise in the outer world aka the forest will begin soon.

That person explained the mission they should do and what restrictions they should avoid.

"You will be divided into groups. One of you will be the leader of a group that in addition to being able to set the strategy and having the right to give orders, he bears responsibility for all members of his group." explained the person.

"Each group will be given a map that shows where your mission is located and your mission is to find, collect and bring home objects with special marks in places that have been marked on the map. There you will also get food stocks for supplies. The time given is 3 days and after 3 times 24 hours you have not returned then the team will pick them up immediately but the team will be declared to fail in this task and not get a score. Not only that, the chairman will get a penalty if his group fails." explained the person again.

"One thing you must remember TEAM COHESIVENESS IS THE MAIN VALUE" he said again while emphasizing the last 5 words in his sentence.

They are divided into several groups and each group consists of 5 people. Axel and Sid are in 1 group alongside Mat, Jun and Lucky. Two of the young men had tall and stocky bodies while Lucky he was not too tall but also not short and also not too stocky.

Axel was chosen to be the leader of the group. Initially Mat and Lucky had disagreed because for them Axel was a junior who did not know anything. But, get a warning from the person on stage that the decision being determined is a command not a suggestion. They finally no longer voice opinions even though from their faces they still can not accept.

They immediately take equipment such as a backpack filled with several purposes such as food, tents or sleeping bags, equipment to climb the cliff in case they have to face the cliff to complete the mission and so forth.

They board a large truck that will take them to the forest where they will do the mission. When he got there, one by one the team entered the forest. Each team has a different map so they do not have to scramble to arrive first so as not to run out of food stock at the specified coordinates.

It turned out that not all groups were on a mission that day. There were only 4 groups and he said the other 4 groups would depart after the first 4 groups arrived at the last point.

Team Axel became one of the first 4 groups to carry out the mission. They had already entered the forest and started following the directions from the map.

Since assuming Axel was the son of a spoiled powerful man who just wanted to play around inside the camp and would make trouble, they thought Axel would just complain and be troublesome.

Not wrong if they think so considering Axel who is free to go in and out of the camp and get a private room facility of course they will consider Axel is a spoiled young man who depends on the power of his parents.

Seeing Axel who was quite serious and did not complain in the slightest during the trip, they slightly changed their views.

"It turns out he's not a spoiled young man. At least he stays through every obstacle without complaining and even helps us when we are in trouble." Mat.

"It looks like we should find a safe place to rest because the sky will already be dark" Axel suggested.

"Yes, I agree with the chairman." said Jun who was taken in by Sid and the others.

Luckily, they found a large cave. They chose to rest in that cave.

"We'll be back on the trip at 6 a.m. If you look at the map, we will arrive at the first point at 11 pm if there is no problem." explained Axel after finishing his dinner.

Just a few loaves filled with a bottle of water but enough to drive away their hunger and thirst. They didn't bring any other supplies because that's all they have to bring.

The box was quite heavy and at the second point the load was increasing because there they re-inserted 1 more box into their backpack.

"What do these heavy boxes contain?" jun asked as he observed the 15 x 15 cm box with a special mark on his hand.

"So, maybe later in the camp we'll know what it's about. It's also if they show us the contents later." replied Mat.

"I'm guessing it might just be a rock" Axel said.

"Why does the captain think it's a stone?" ask Jun.

"It's a forest and it's impossible just for an experimental mission they put valuable items in the forest for us to take. This thing is just to give us a load to carry well, the count-count adds to the strength of our muscles perhaps." replied Axel.

"Silly, if this is just a rock then I'll throw it on their faces. They don't think it's heavy huh." Jun murmured.

"Well, you dare to do it? I salute you." Axel said with a look of admiration.

"Of course.." There's a pretty long pause from Jun's sentence.

"Dare not." he continued, showing off his row of neat teeth.

Jun's reply suddenly made everyone shake their heads.

"Currently, it's just nonsense." said Sid.

"That's right, man. Even if given courage by a God, none of us will be members of this young camp who are as brave as it is to do such crazy things to them" Jun said.

"Yes yes, we have rested long enough now. We should continue the journey to complete our mission soon" said Axel.

They continued on to the final mission point. The trip last time was quite troublesome because they had to climb a cliff that was quite high.

"Do we have to climb this high cliff?" june asked while staring at the cliff in front of them.

"Yes, because if we take a detour to find a climb that can be passed without tools, we need a full day. That's according to this map." Sid replied.

They immediately prepared equipment to climb the cliff and immediately climbed without complaining anymore. It took about 1 hour more for them to finish climbing the high cliff.
