The first outpost

Valerie set off in the direction of her destination. Thanks to some good fortune, she found a stream before too long. She decided to stop for a brief moment. She took off her panties and boots, deposited them in a safe place on the shore along with her compass and flask before taking a quick dip in the water. Not only was it refreshing in the heat, it also let her wash the cum off her face.

She didn't linger too long, knowing time was off the essence. She dried herself the best she could, deciding to let the heat do the rest. When putting her panties back on, she noticed they had ripped a little further than the last time she had checked on them - it wasn't looking like the garment would last very long. She could only hope that she could complete her test before they were completely destroyed.

Once she had everything, she set off. Her destination was an outpost at the far end of the jungle, but her path wasn't simply a straight line. To simulate a real mission, she first had to complete two smaller objectives before reaching her final goal. She had memorized the directions to both of the outposts, and after orienting herself she found one of them was quite close to her location. After a short trek, she spotted it - a small outpost with a single person manning it.

Valerie was hesitant to be seen topless at the outpost, but she didn't exactly have a lot to work with. She searched around her, finding a tree with several large leaves. An idea came to her. She plucked a couple of big leaves, fashioning a tiny tube top by tying them together around her breasts. It didn't cover much, and neither did it seem very sturdy or durable, but it was better than being topless.

She didn't exactly have all the time in the world, so she decided to get it over with and approached the outpost.

"Cadet Valerie!", she recognized the man at the outpost - Ludovic, a hand-to-hand combat instructor at the academy. She had taken his course last year, and had been one of the best performers in her class. He was one of the younger instructors at campus, with a lean physique and some French charm to boot. She didn't find him bad to look at, which made it even more embarrassing that he found her in this situation. She could notice his raised eyebrow and incredulous expression as she came into view.

"Valerie!", he winked at her as she approached. "One of my brighter students. I am not surprised to see you here!"

"Thanks," she replied, trying her best to not blush at the way he was ogling her body. She adjusted her makeshift top to prevent her boobs from falling out of it. "I'm here for my badge."

"Ah!", he grinned. "If only it were that simple! You know about the trials, right?"

She did a double take. "What do you mean?"
