Several hours had gone by, and Silver had yet to get past the golems. Every time he made some form of progress some new trap would stop him. There were a few times that he reacted quickly enough, but even then, dodging both traps and golems would prove too much, throwing him back out in short fashion.
To make things worse, the random nature of the golem's swings were hard to adapt to, throwing any attempt at memorisation out the window.
*huff* *huff* "I don't think I can keep going." Silver laid on the floor, completely out of energy, as had yet to stop relentlessly throwing himself at the course, taking no breaks in between.
"You did a phenomenal job at not giving up, newbie." Shino, with a proud look, appeared at Silver's feet, offering her hand out to help him up.
"I'm guessing I didn't do badly?" Grabbing Shino's hand, Silver stood up, unsure if her words also meant that he performed well. Still, even if that wasn't the case, he was proud of himself.
