63-Episode 29: It Looks Like Your Arms Are Getting Bigger
'Arrell's unique way of flying, as if he were soaring through the air, makes him go faster!?Obviously, we're getting closer to Dionne!'
I kicked the mass of air and accelerated the gun.
The distance between me and Dionne, which was more than fifty meters at one point, is now closer than ten meters.
''Huh........''
Dionne glanced back at me.
He must have thought he had completely pushed her away, and I could see that she was surprised by the lack of expression on her face.
''But Dionne, player!?What a boost in speed from here!?I'm going to show them that they can't lose to a rookie and keep the Triple Crown!'
You're still going to be fast.
But we can't afford to lose either.
'Arrell will follow!?Yeesh, this is getting even faster!?My goodness!?Dionne is trying to widen the gap somehow but he's still managed to close the distance!?That sky goddess is showing a pained expression!''
Eventually, the race entered the final straight before heading into the green academy grounds.
And finally, I lined up with Dionne.
''Arrell, I've caught up with him here!?He's going to pull it off in one fell swoop - no, Dionne won't let him go.?He accelerates again, and what a way to get ahead!?What a dead heat!?I don't know where this is going to end up!''
"...this is not good.
''What??Dr. Dumble?
The only thing I can think of to say is that there's a big curve in the opposite direction from where I was going when I entered the academy campus after this straight line. There's no way you can go around it by charging into it at this speed.
As the commentary says, the final curve ahead of us is in sight.
'Shh, but both riders don't seem to be slowing down at all!?Is this okay!'
Hmm.
It's certainly quite difficult to go around that curve at this speed.
But Dionne doesn't slow down at all.
Is she confident that she can make the turn, or is she planning to charge into it knowingly?
Well, the other party seems to be willing to go on like this, so I have no choice but to go too.
But that was the time.
Contrary to my expectations, Dionne suddenly slowed down.
''Ah!?Dionne is slowing down!?In one fell swoop, Arrell is pulling away from the field but he's going into the curve at breakneck speed.
It's a good strategy by Dionne and I think he made it look like he was going to enter the curve at the very last second. I made it look like I was going to enter the curve at that speed until the very last minute. That's the queen of the Triple Crown. That's the queen of the Triple Crown, she's very calm and collected. The inexperienced Aller fell for it.
'Arrell has come out on top with this.........?I still don't think we can turn the corner!?I couldn't withstand the centrifugal force and went off the center of the course in a big way!
A tremendous force is applied from the left side and the body is almost taken to the right.
Hmm.
Then how about this.
I put a lot of force into my right arm.
It swells up with muscle.
I created even more air masses on the right side of my body and slammed my right arm down with all my strength.
Zugan!
The sound of bursts of air rang out and he managed to regain his position.
''Eh...?''
Zugan!
Zugan!
Zugan!
Zugan!
Zugan!
He repeated it many more times and made it around the curve without going off course.
It's a good thing I've been working on my muscles.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to pull off such a feat.
"Well, I made it through the turn?
The actual situation took my breath away.
''I mean, it looked like his arms just got bigger...''
...I could see it that way too, couldn't I?
Illusion, is it?
That would be great.
While maintaining top speed, I entered the academy campus.
All that's left to do now is go straight ahead.
You can fly straight into the training area where you started and cut the goal tape.
The difference between us and Dionne is more than ten meters.
When we entered the training ground, we were greeted by loud cheers.
''Whoa!?Master!?That's great!
'I really came back in first place!
That was amazing...
And now, Arrell has finished first!?What a first year winner!?It's an accomplishment!?And Dionne comes in just a few seconds later!?The Triple Crown Queen finished second in her first race of the year!'
As I flew through the goal, there was an even louder cheer.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Wow!?He seriously won the championship one year!
Dionne-sama, Dionne-sama can't lose!
...wind.
But as expected, I'm tired.
He's been flying ten times as far as he has every night, but not this fast.
It's not only that, but it's also a record time.?It's a hell of a record!?It's a tremendous time, shaving nearly a minute off the previous record!
Apparently, it's a new meet record.
"...I'm surprised. I didn't think I'd lose.
Dionne, who has landed on the ground, walks over to us.
He has a flat face, but he's drenched in sweat.
''That was a good match.''
Hm. I'll do it again. I'll do it again. I'm not gonna let you down this time.
We congratulate each other on a job well done and shake each other's hands.
'Skyke is back!?Third place!?He's done great as a rookie too!'
Skyke cut the goal tape, wobbling a little, as if he was wearing out.
As soon as he descends to the ground, he falls limp.
The first aid team rushes over, but he glares at us.
"Shit, shit, shit...?Next time I'll do it again!?Guess what?
Well, if you have the energy to say that, you'll be fine.
