[from
here]This was already further than Sai had gotten the past couple nights, which was saying something. It was getting over the wall that would be the real test, though. The actual act of scaling the brick would be simple, but the night had an odd way of ending before he'd gotten beyond that point. Hopefully the same wouldn't hold true this

It was good to hear that Asch was willing to take the knife, though. As they reached the far end of the field and the wall that was separating them from their destination, Guy turned back toward the God-General and nodded. "We can meet up tomorrow night and I'll give it to you," he promised. Because Luke had asked, and because he was trying to give Asch another chance.
But for now what they needed to do was focus on the task at hand. Just as Guy was about to start climbing, though, there was a disturbance caused by a huge sword flying out at another part of the area where a different group was trying to get over. Eyes widened, Guy glanced back at what had to be a Special Counseling patient before turning to his two companions for the night.
"We need to hurry," he said, his tone urgent without being panicked. "Come on!" And with that, he grabbed for some vines and started to pull himself up with all the upper body strength a swordsman possessed.

Either way, it sounded like they'd spent enough time dillydallying in the rec field. Things were starting to get crazy, which meant it was time for them to step up the pace. Following Guy's example, Claude grasped onto the vines that covered the wall and began to hoist himself up toward the top. As he moved, he felt his phase gun press against his chest from inside his jacket, its weight familiar yet foreign at the same time. In the back of his mind, he wondered if he'd have to give it a test at some point tonight.
The thought was fleeting, though. A movement against the wall caught Claude's eye as he made his way up, but when he jerked his head down, he only saw the outline of his own figure. Weird. Was he jumping at shadows now?
But Claude didn't dwell on that for long. Instead, he focused his attention on getting over the wall in one piece, trusting that Asch was following suit.

It was all precautionary, of course... but one could never be too careful. Shaking aside such miserly thoughts, he focused instead on climbing.

It didn't look like the brainwashed patient was letting up any time soon, and Guy didn't really plan on sticking around to see what happened next. He was amazed enough that they'd made it past without getting noticed, but he wasn't about to push their luck.
Tossing his flashlight and sword down ahead of him, Guy then pushed himself off to land neatly on the other side of the wall. Finally, they were getting somewhere!
