The kid was shaking and sniffling at first, and it seemed like it wouldn't take much for him to start peeing on his pants.
"Wuu…."
Percy cried, relieved he was uninjured, but when he opened his eyes and looked at his teacher and then at his surroundings, he finally absorbed what had happened and his face went completely red.
What could he do? He was terrified and he couldn't think straight anymore. He deadass wanted to get out of there!
Then, seeing his teacher's and classmates' eyes lowkey on him, he immediately wanted to bury himself in the soil. No cap, this was the most embarrassing thing he had ever experienced (after being beaten up by Jake, of course).
"Don't cry."
"I'm not crying!!" he sniffled, then looked at his teacher. "What do I do now?"
Students were allowed to give up and asked to be rescued, but that meant they failed the test and would have to do it over again—possibly twice, depending on the teacher's prerogative.
"This is mad hard, teach."
