A month later ca an important mont for the citizens, as it was the day of the Seven Lightning Tournant.
At the edge of the city was a massive coliseum that was half destroyed, however it should be since it was an ancient ruin where the Seven Lightning Tournant was held every year.
"Are you ready?" Gloria asked with a serious look.
"Yes. This year Yellow Lightning will definitely get access to the Mountain of Light!" Muscular One exclaid with the other students, only Light Racer remained calm.
Gloria nodded in a satisfied manner as she walked over to Light Racer and said, "How are you feeling?"
"Fine. You don't have to worry about ." Light Racer replied with a cold look.
"Hey, you don't have to be so rude. I just want you to know that I'm proud of you, no matter your score. You've accelerated quite a bit in the last month."
Light Racer just nodded before heading into the arena.
'Eh... Maybe I'm being too annoying?' Gloria muttered inwardly.
"Okay. Let's go! It's about to start!" Gloria exclaid, and everyone followed the Light Racer.
The Coliseum was already filled with people. Everyone in town wanted to see who the new winner would be, so there wasn't a single empty seat in the stands.
The seven teams took their places near the bluff that led to the massive waterfall in the distance. Runners and their coaches waited for the start.
Crackle.
On the second floor of the Coliseum, the massive gates opened, and five n in long white robes took their seats that looked like the thrones of kings, they were the Elders. In charge was a man with a long white beard, amber eyes, and a stern gaze as a majestic aura emanated from him.
"I welco you all to the Seven Lightning Tournant!" The Chief Elder exclaid as he spread his arms to the side, "Today, one of the teams will have to walk through the road of light that will determine the fastest!"
Whoooooooosh.
After his words, two spheres appeared at the precipice that turned into a long bridge. The road went to the waterfall, surrounded it, and returned to the Coliseum that ford a circle.
"The team that wins will get a unique opportunity to go to the Mountain of Light for a whole week!"
The Mountain of Light was a place with special energy, so every runner dread of going there because they could greatly increase their speed. It was necessary if one wanted to beco stronger, so the best of the winners would later beco Elders.
"It's been a year since the Mountain of Light was last visited, so it's full of energy. The best Team will receive this key!" The Chief Elder exclaid as the space in front of him distorted.
A golden feather appeared above his palm that was as bright as the sun. Lightning bolts and a powerful aura emanated from the feather.
"Now, teams, take your places! At my signal, the race will begin!" The Elder spoke in a thunderous voice.
"Let's go!" Gloria and the other coaches exclaid as runners stood in front of the starting line.
'Hmmm... What is the Light Racer looking at? What's he up to?' Wain pondered while hovering as the Light Racer's behavior was rather odd.
All the runners stared intently at the golden road and the waterfall, but the Light Racer's gaze was sotis directed elsewhere, he looked at the golden feather that hung before the Chief Elder.
"You are ready now. Excellent." The Chief Elder smirked as he raised his hand, "Go!"
Whooooooooooosh.
All the runners started at the sa ti, in a split second, their bodies were covered in a layer of light, but before they had to take their first step, the world suddenly froze.
'Hmm? What's going on? Has the mory stopped?' Wain looked around while in confusion.
Then a shiver went through his body as he realized what was going on, 'Damn, looks like I was wrong all along. The Light Racer isn't any different here.'
Crackling.
The Light Racer's eyes flashed as a loud pop deafened everyone present. Under the pressure of Light Racer's feet, the ground of the arena split into two plates that rose, causing massive destruction, but no one had yet to realize it.
The Light Racer turned into a beam of light that quickly passed through the stands and approached the Chief Elder. The Light Racer's speed was so high that no one noticed anything but the Chief Elder as the mont the Light Racer grabbed the feather, the Elder's gaze went to him, but even the Chief Elder couldn't stop the Light Racer.
Whooooooooooosh.
Light Racer ran towards the Mountain of Light with the golden feather in his hand as he passed through the forests and ran for miles to the spectators and runners finally reached the pulse that caused a major earthquake.
"What's going on?"
"Aaaaaaaaaah!"
"Help!"
The residents exclaid with fear on their faces as the massive debris of the Coliseum approached so of them.
"Let's go." The Chief Elder nodded as they turned into golden flashes.
Seconds later, all the inhabitants were outside the Coliseum, the Elders rescued everyone, including the runners that were stunned and didn't know how to act in such a situation.
"What just happened? Did soone attack us?!" One of the students exclaid with a confused look.
"No... It's much more serious..." The Elder muttered while shaking his head.
"Master, what shall we do?" The Master turned to the Chief Elder.
"There is no point in doing anything anymore. Moreover, even if we wanted to, we couldn't anyway. I'm pretty sure I can't outrun this guy, it's crazy, but it's true. Where did he get that kind of power?" Elder wondered as he touched his chin.
"I'm sorry... It's my fault..." Gloria walked over to him and bowed low.
"Ah, he was in your group, right?" The Chief Elder looked at Gloria.
"Yes... I'm sorry about that... He had the worst results in training, I didn't even know that was possible." Gloria muttered as she didn't dare lift her head.
"Don't worry, it's okay." The Chief Elder waved his hand in a careless manner, but a mont later, his eyes widened, "Wait... What did you say?! He was the slowest?!"
"That's right."
"Damn... So he was hiding his abilities the whole ti... That asshole was waiting for the race to start so he could steal the key... Well, his actions could get us in trouble..."
