Back to the Past Breaking the Love Spell (Carlisle Zahn) novel Chapter 256

Chapter 256 

Team 1 immediately dropped to the ground and began crawling forward. 

After roughly 60 feet, a plastic smoke grenade fell from above; its acrid smoke caused the students to cough–as they lay on the ground. 

With the experience from the previous day, some students rolled to the side. However, a few impatient 

ones stood up and charged forward. 

The staff on the opposite side aimed a plastic rocket launcher and fired a projectile made of paint 

powder into the air. 

The projectile landed at the feet of the standing students and exploded, covering them in paint powder. 

Lawrence’s voice boomed through the megaphone, “Anyone with over 20% of their body covered in pain, 

step out!” 

The students who had stood up and charged dejectedly left the training area. 

The remaining team members continued to crawl forward. 

As long as they crawled through the first stage, the staff wouldn’t fire paint projectiles but would only use smoke to hinder their progress. 

The students rolled to avoid the falling smoke grenades and crawled through the thinning smoke. 

Five minutes later, they passed the first stage. 

The second stage demanded finding cover and charging forward while staff members threw paint 

grenades. 

This stage tested reaction speed. Running fast enough ensured avoiding the paint. 

Teams 1 through 4 were all composed of boys, while Team 5 was made up of girls. The difficulty level for 

Team 5 was lowered. 

The boys had enough stamina to more effectively evade the dense attacks. 

Paint grenades exploded one after another, while the staff fired paint bullets, creating a chaotic scene of 

color and movement. 

These staff members were former soldiers and had undergone special training, aiming their shots at the 

students‘ feet. 

The paint bullets weren’t very powerful. Getting hit merely felt like being struck by a piece of chalk. 

Finding cover, the students launched a counterattack, forcing the staff to the ground. 

Under the cover of fire, some students dashed to the second set of barricades. 

There were five stages in total. With their persistent efforts, the students finally reached the fourth stage.

‘Time’s up, mission failed,” Lawrence announced through the megaphone. 

“Man, these staff don’t cut us any slack!” one student grumbled. 

“And their firepower seems stronger than yesterday,” added another. 

“Well, looks like it’s cereal and bread for lunch!” someone else remarked. 

“It’s just one meal without meat, we’ll survive!” another chimed in. 

Team 1 returned to Lawrence’s side. 

Lawrence said calmly, “You’ve improved a lot since yesterday.” 

Yesterday, Team 1 had been eliminated in the third stage. Today, they reached the fourth stage with about 10 students remaining. 

One student complained, “Mr. Hanson, this is too hard. 20 minutes isn’t enough!” 

Lawrence replied coolly. “Why did Team 5 succeed yesterday, then? They’re all girls, and the difficulty
