Hm? That looks like...
Akito!! Good morning!!
Whoa! Only one person shouts like that...
Why'd you shout at me from all the way down the corridor...?
Hm? I decided to greet you after we'd made eye contact, is all.
People don't normally greet each other from that far away!
Hah hah hah! The training we did has given me the power to project my voice even further!
Now I can greet others even if they're a good distance away! A useful skill for a hall monitor, wouldn't you say?
Wait, is it really okay for a hall monitor to be shouting in the corridor like this?
*Sigh*
Anyway, if you don't need anything else from me, I'll be going to my classroom now.
No, wait.
I do have some fun news to tell you!
The thing is, Rui made it so that a few friends and I could try water spiders for ourselves!
The area beyond this buoy is very deep, so it's off limits, everyone.
Okay!
Okay♪
I still can't believe you actually made these. What are these? Inner tubes? And these look like sandals attached to plywood...
Yes, I glued those together, and I secured the boards to the center of each inner tube.
It's a simple design, but these are fairly close to what was used for traditional ninja water spiders.
Yes, these do look very similar to the ones Akito had to use.
Tsukasa, you guys!
Let's go on the water already!
<Yeah!>
You guys already put them on?
All of you, wait!
We need to stretch before going in the water!
Nooo! H-How do I stop my legs from spreading apart?!
Flex your inner thigh muscles!
Then, use the pole to support yourself, while lowering your center of gravity.
There's no way I can...! Eep!
Oh, Nene flipped over.
Sounds like a job for the lifeguard!
I'll be right there to help, Nene!
This is so cool☆
I'm getting a little support, but I can stand now♪
Your inner tubes must be providing just enough buoyancy.
You also got it to work, Rin?!
Tsukasa helped me get me floating!
Hehe. Then, let's have a race♪
The first one to get to the buoy wins!
Alright, you're on!
Then, we'll let go after we give you the signal to start. Are you both ready?
Ready!
Here we go.
Ready... Start!
Let's go!
Forward!
Wow, they're both off to a good start!
This should be a fine race.
Uh oh...
Th-They fell in...
Rin! Len! Are you okay?!
Hmm...
They just barely managed to stand, so it makes sense moving forward would be difficult.
Huh?
Look! Those two are standing all on their own...
Wow! And I think they're trying to have a race just like us!
Yeah! It looks like Miku and Emu are gonna...!
Can they reach it...?!
Let's go, Miku!
Nin-Nin-Ninja!
Gooooooo!!
Poweeeeeer!
Speeeeeeed!
Whoa, look how fast they're moving their feet!
Could they possibly...
No, they're not moving forward...
If anything, they appear to be sinking.
Glub... Glub...
Hey, Emu! Are you okay?!
Miku sank too!
Don't worry, someone will be right over to rescue you two. And by someone I mean MEIKO.
Leave it to me!
Let's go, lifeguard♪
Anyway, my friends and I tried to do what you did, but it ended up being a perilous task.
Just standing was hard enough.
To think that you were able to reach the other side, even after one of your foot straps broke.
After experiencing it for myself, I now have a much greater appreciation for what you accomplished! I tip my hat to you!
Thank you? You showered me with praise after the race.
I mean, I think I was only able to do that because of Kiritani's training plan.
Yes, I too feel that I was able to survive my stage for the same reason!
Her plans would've made even pro athletes shudder. They really were something else.
She'd be more than welcome to become the trainer for Wonderlands×Showtime!
Wait, what kind of shows are you planning to put on over there, anyway?
