Or should she jump on the lilypad that gave her a clearer path? Choosing the smoothest course? Or complicate things more?

She already complicated things enough on her own, so going for something easier would be a good idea. Jumping onto lilypad 25 and then quickly proceeded to lilypad 29 before her lack of balance caught up with her. All that was left now was to jump onto the bank and she was done! Leaning forward to jump, the lilypad beneath her move backwards as she went forwards and her limbs moved on their own freewill despite her brain telling her to stop. Sprawling, Kurumi tumbled onto the bank and rolled several times before coming to a stop on her back. Not the most graceful of landings, but at least she had managed to finish the task.

Rolling onto her side, Kurumi pushed herself off the ground and attempted to dust herself off. She then waved to Professor Bentley and saw that Jezz had finished as well. "Congratulations to you," Kurumi waved. The first year deserved a cookie, which Kurumi was more than happy to give her.
