2 Leap of Faith

Leighton looked at the lab building and gritted his teeth.

Damn it. Jump!

He directly faced the school building and started running.

...

A group of fraternity members were holding an initiation ceremony on the grounds.

As the vice president of the fraternity, John was giving a lecture to the new members.

When he suddenly saw that a new member was distracted, he frowned.

"The sixth kid from the left in the second row, step forward."

The new member walked out in a daze.

"What are you looking at? You're so engrossed in it. Say it for everyone to see."

The new member said with fear and trepidation, "Vice President, I think I just saw someone rush to the top of the lab building."

"Look, that person seems to be about to jump off the building."

Leighton stood on the sixth-floor balcony of the lab building and ran out of the balcony.

Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned.

When they saw the owner of the figure standing on the roof, Leighton, one of his feet stepped out—

"No!"

—John shouted at the top of his lungs.

But it was too late.

In order to prevent himself from being unable to break through his terror, Leighton made up his mind from the beginning and rushed all the way.

As soon as he came out of the fire escape, he quickened his pace and rushed straight to the balcony.

He didn't give himself any time to react.

"Isn't it just a leap of faith1, damn it."

Just as Leighton was in a free fall and was descending...

"Ah...!"

Screams and bitter howls could be heard everywhere.

There were even a few timid girls who covered their eyes and began to cry.

It was as if they had already seen the tragic scene after Leighton landed.

...

The figure in the air.

He was in a free fall with a gravitational acceleration of 9.8 per second.

It seemed that he had gained a small life in a day and was about to die here.

Most people were extremely nervous. Even their hearts were about to stop beating.

Everyone's minds were blank!

As the vice president, John subconsciously wanted to save someone.

He opened his hands, hoping to catch the young man's life that day.

Although he was very close to the building—less than 50 meters—but these 50 meters were almost like a natural moat.

At this moment, Leighton was already in the air.

"It's over! This young man is finished. Another family has to go through this heart-wrenching separation."

At this moment, Leighton, who was freely falling in the air...

Was actually extremely calm.

He was even calmer than he would have imagined.

In fact, even if he had learned from the system that he would not die before the date of his death arrived, he would not die.

However, when he had just stepped onto the rooftop, he still had fear in his heart.

There was even a hint of wanting to retreat.

But when he jumped down from the building...

The unease, the retreat, the fear, the nervousness...

All disappeared.

Calm!

Since he was born, Leighton had never been so calm, as if everything had nothing to do with him.

He felt the breeze on his face.

He felt the sun warm his body.

He could feel the green grass under his eyes.

Everything was so tranquil.

He was about to fall to the ground. He was only ten meters away from the ground.

He could even see the ants on the ground clearly.

He turned his eyes to the grounds next to the lab building.

He looked at the students and teachers who were screaming or losing their voices, nervous or afraid, and whose minds were blank because of fear.

He could still see the most beautiful figure in the school uniform, holding a book in her hand, and wearing glasses.

Mariana.

At that moment, Mariana was looking at him in horror.

She covered her mouth with her hand.

I wanted to confess to you when school started.

But...

If all of this is true.

I won't die here this time.

I'll confess my love to you!

Thinking of this, Leighton was stunned.

Damn it, I can totally confess my love here!

Just as Leighton was about to loudly express his feelings to Mariana...

A gust of strong wind blew from God knows where.

Accompanied by the strong wind was a huge piece of polyester cloth that blew from God knows where.

Judging from the size of the polyester cloth, it seemed to be a huge piece of cloth to be used as material for the awning.

At that moment, more than half of the cloth was directly wrapped around Leighton's body!

Just as he was only a few meters away from the ground and was about to fall to the ground...

The strong wind that blew from east-to-west suddenly changed direction and turned to east-to-north!

One end of the polyester cloth hung directly on a crooked tree on the campus.

Then, Leighton felt a weight on his body and his whole body was pulled by the polyester cloth.

His whole body actually stopped when he was only about one meter away from the ground!

"How the f*ck can this work?"

Leighton shook the polyester cloth hanging around his body in surprise.

After removing the cloth, he sat down steadily on the ground.

And this scene fell into the eyes of the crowd.

It was a complete miracle!

And, at this moment, some of Leighton's subconscious actions and bearing were in the eyes of everyone.

It became Leighton's calm expression as he pulled open the cloth and slowly landed on the ground. His entire person gave people the feeling that he had jumped down from the steps...

Some of the students immediately exclaimed, "He's not fucking dead?"
