62-Episode 28: Do You Use Your Inner Hands?

Just after the turnaround point, someone broke away from the lead group.

'Oops!?The winner of last year's Magus Cup, no, last year's winner of all three major races, the first Triple Crown winner in decades, Dionne, "Goddess of the Sky", is here!?He's already trying to play the game, and one of them has jumped out!''

'You're the one who held her off so far. "If she had been capable, she could have pulled away from the pack much sooner.

It's a very exaggerated term, but the Goddess of the Sky is probably two names.

She was called Dionne, and she was a girl with hair as white as snow.

Her age was probably about the same as mine.

She leisurely increased her speed with a cool look on her face.

''Yi, let's let her go!''

It was Skyke who followed suit.

In order not to be left behind, he also increased his speed at once.

Of course, I followed him.

And while the other contestants were sticking it out for a while, one or two of them were gradually dropping out.

Before I knew it, it was just Dionne, who was flying at the front, and me and Skyk, who were flying just behind her.

'What a surprise, two of us are following Dionne's high pace!?And they're both first grade freshmen!'

The actual player exclaimed excitedly.

''With this, if the First Grade First Grade wins, it will be the first time in twenty-three years!

Skyke turned to face me as we flew side by side.

"You're not so bad yourself!

Really?

I'm still pretty much in control here.

I'm surprised. Rookie following me around.

And though it was a small one that seemed to be drowned out by the sound of the wind, I heard a voice that sounded impressed from before.

Dionne, who had been silent all this time, was the first to open her mouth.

'Ha, of course!?I'm going to win this race!

Skyk's forehead is covered in sweat and looks slightly painful, but since he's so strong, he must still have some room to spare.

''Then how far can you follow me?''

Huh!

Dionne picked up more speed.

In the blink of an eye, the distance between them opened up.

'What a surprise, Dionne, he still has some energy left!?We're going to keep the two rookies apart!

Hey, I'm not even serious yet...

Skyke also accelerated and ate hard.

'My God, my God!?Still, the rookies are desperately clinging to it!'

'Great. I can't believe it's only your first year.

Are we done with this??Then I'll give you more.

But when Dionne saw that, she accelerated again.

''Wha.........??Ugh, are you kidding me?

Skyk grunts in dismay.

Apparently, this was his limiting pace, and he finally lags behind Dionne.

d*mn!

Skyk was left behind in a flash as he roared in frustration and anger.

''Skyke, he's finally dropped out of the championship race here!

But to do so well in your first outing is admirable, and I have high hopes for the future. I have great expectations for the future.

Well there's still one person left.

Dionne looks at me flying next to her with a sideways glance.

She seems to be breathing a little harder, but she still looks cool.

''I'm on the edge, as expected.

Even though he had been training every night without fail, he had only been using flying magic for a little over two months.

The other party should have been doing this for many more years, so the years were different.

''The Dionne players are pulling away at an even greater pace!?Arrell somehow manages to stick it out, but he's slowly pulling away!?The difference is five, no, ten meters!

"It's a great performance by Dionne. Arrell did well as a rookie, but it will be difficult for him to recover from this.

As per the actual situation, Dionne's back is gradually moving away from him.

Hmm.

This is a tough one.

He's already flying with all his might, and if he continues like this, he's only going to get further away.

"It can't be helped. Is there any way around it?

I sped up at once.

''What??What the hell does this mean!?'Arrell, you have suddenly exploded and accelerated!

And again.

'Well, it's accelerated again!?But just before that, it seemed to me that he made a strange move...?''

'He kicked it...?He created a blob of air, used it as a foothold, and accelerated it by kicking it!'

For the first time ever, Dumble's voice, which had been a matter-of-fact commentary, gets louder.

As expected of a commentator.

He seems to have figured out what I'm doing right away.

I create a mass of air at my feet and kick it as hard as I can.

This gave me a new propulsion.

'Kicked the air...??'Dr. Dumble, is that possible?'

"...there's nothing we can't do. But people usually don't try to do it, because the impetus they get from it is very limited. Because the amount of impetus it gives you is very limited.

But Arrell is accelerating like crazy, isn't he?

"That can only mean that his legs are so strong...

Yes.

Even though they use air as a foothold, it is soft, unlike the hard ground.

So you lose most of your power.

If it's done poorly, the air resistance created when kicking will be greater, which could slow you down.

It takes a lot of leg strength to accelerate like I did.

Okay, it's worth using the back of my hand, and Dionne's back is getting closer again.
