Chapter 105 Skydiving

Swoosh—wind moved strongly through the small plane as it soared through the sky.

The doors opened, revealing two black-haired figures strapped in parachutes, with each one having another person on their backs.

They looked down and saw the breathtaking view of the green landscape below.

"J-Jesse, I am not too sure about this!" Jack shouted while a strong wind blew against his pale face.

He tightened his grip on the parachute straps and prepared himself for the exhilarating freefall.

Jesse nervously chuckled while looking down at the vast expanse of land below. This was his idea, but he was even more terrified.

However, strangely, he felt more alive than ever before.

'This is so strange!' He thought with cold sweat beads falling down his face. 'I am terrified but also extremely excited. This might be the day I die if anything goes wrong, but I've never felt more alive in my entire life!'

"No need to worry, mister Rothsmith!" The man strapped to Jack's back shouted with a confident tone. "You don't have to do anything. Just enjoy the freefall; me and Nicholas will take everything!"

Since they were beginners, professional skydivers would tandem skydive with them.

They would be the ones pulling the parachute cords and ensuring a safe landing for everyone involved.

It was easy for Jack to arrange a skydiving session in just a few hours.

When he first heard his son's suggestion in the cafe, he thought he had misheard.

However, surprisingly, his son's determined eyes told him the truth.

'I have never heard anyone with Humanoid Imperfecta try skydiving. If the speed at which we land is too high, we would die!' Jack gulped, but then firmly looked at his son.

He didn't plan on letting his son do this alone, no matter what.

Nicholas, the professional skydiver strapped on Jesse's back, showed thumbs up to the pilot and then said.

"Remember, when we are about to land, raise your legs. Let us do the landing for you!"

Jesse and Jack nodded.

With them were two of the best skydivers in the Nocklund area.

Not many beginners had the privilege of getting them to guide them, but Rothsmith's had a lot of influence and any skydiver would be honored to be with them on their first skydive.

The two professional skydivers signaled each other and patted their clients shoulders. It meant they were about to jump.

They approached the edge of the plane and felt the rush of wind against their faces.

Then, they took their last step and started falling through the open sky, embracing the thrill of freefall.

Nicholas curved his back like a banana while in mid-air, maintaining a stable position for the perfect jump.

He acted very professionally and executed each movement with precision and grace. This was not a joke for him; he was now working and wanted to do it perfectly.

"Wohoo!" Jesse, on the other hand, screamed loudly with excitement as he saw the entirety of Nocklund from the sky.

He hadn't realized before how beautiful the surrounding landscape was.

The ground started approaching at a fast pace, and Jesse could feel his heart racing in his chest.

Jack held his breath while his short black hair blew in the wind. He put all his faith in the professional skydiver on his back, as he had the control, not him.

The professional skydiver, Alexander, grabbed the parachute cord and pulled it, releasing the parachute from its pack.

As the parachute filled with air, they began to slow down and descend gracefully towards the ground.

Nicholas then did the same. The parachute shot out of the pack and quickly began filling with air.

Their speed of descend drastically slowed down.

As Jesse looked down at the earth below, he felt a sense of awe and excitement. He thought that the world was indeed vast and full of things he hadn't experienced yet because of his disease.

"Raise your legs, now!" Nicholas shouted, as did Alexander. Jesse and Jack listened. They then saw the ground approaching slowly.

They held their breaths as Nicholas and Alexander gently landed on the ground and ran for several meters before slowly coming to a stop.

"Haah... haaah..." Jesse breathed heavily and slowly lowered his legs to touch the grass again.

He had never been this happy to feel the grass beneath his shoes. Skydiving happened to be one of his most exciting experiences ever, but also one of the most terrifying ones.

Nicholas and Alexander took off the parachutes, letting them fall to the ground. They then removed the straps around Jesse's and Jack's bodies.

After the straps were removed, Jesse walked a few steps and then crouched to touch the soft grass. He chuckled with excitement.

'I don't understand what is going on with me. My emotions have been in shambles for some time now. First, the anger issues; now, this overwhelming excitement that I can't seem to control. I want to feel more excitement; I want to feel more alive!'

Jack sat down on the ground, happy to be still alive. However, he also felt excitement, as this was one of the most exciting things he had done in his life.

"Thank you." He then remembered to thank the professional skydivers who joined them. He stood up, patted the grass off his pants, and talked to them for a moment.

Nicholas and Alexander had heard about Jack Rothsmith.

He was one of the leading experts in the field of medicine and pioneered groundbreaking treatments for various diseases.

However, he never managed to fix the disease he truly wanted to.

They were happy to be of assistance to such a legendary figure.

After sharing a few words, they went to call for a car to come pick them up.

They were currently in the middle of nowhere, around 25 kilometers away from Nocklund.

Thus, they always had a way to call for pickup from a nearby area.

"Son, how are you feeling?" Jack walked over to Jesse, still feeling his beating heart pounding against his chest.

"Great, thanks for coming with me." Jesse stood up and smiled. "It meant a lot."

"It's nothing." Jack shook his head with a smile. "Maybe next time, we should try something that doesn't include almost dying?"

"Haha, sure." Jesse nodded with a smile. He simply wanted to try skydiving. Now that he was done trying that, he wanted to try something else.

"The car will come soon to pick us up." Nicholas walked over to them while checking his watch. "We will drive you to West Avenue. You should call someone to pick you up from there. You can use my phone, if you need to."

"Thank you." Jack accepted the phone and dialed the number of his driver.

He whispered something before disconnecting the call and returning the phone to Nicholas.

While waiting for the car to arrive, Jesse sat down on the ground and took in the sight of the looming mountains, tall forest, and clear sky above.

He couldn't help but feel a sense of tranquility wash over him.

'I am... starting to feel sleepy...' Jesse rubbed his eyes and tried to force them open. He didn't want to ruin the day by succumbing to sleep. However, the peaceful surroundings were lulling him into a state of relaxation.

Slowly, his heavy eyelids shut down, and he drifted into a deep slumber.
