Chapter 22

The inline skating club members quickly dispersed the crowd and cleared the tracks.

Both sides agreed to skate five rounds on the running track. Whoever reached the finishing point first would win.

Lisa changed into the skates and a helmet, and positioned herself at the starting line. Skull head did the same.

90% of the surrounding crowd were either RCU students or teachers trying to blend in with the students. All of them were silently looking at the two people on the track.

The air was laded with tension and the atmosphere momentarily took a solemn truth.

Jimin quietly asked Jungkook, "Do you think my boss can defy the odds?"

By asking this, Jimin only wanted to hear some casual reassurance. Instead Jungkook took one look at Lisa's back view and muttered, "That little scoundrel!"

Jimin: "...."

Chaeyoung was standing on Jimin's other side. She soothingly said, "I don't see why not. Anything is possible".

This was the right way to reassure someone. Jimin instantly felt that Park Chaeyoung was an angel baby.

The inline skating club president was on the grass with his hand raised.

Inline skating originated from ice skating, but there is a difference in the skates friction, manoeuvring technique and other factors. As such, it is not possible to do figure skating and artistic roller skating interchangeably. It was because of this that Lisa said that the club president had made a blunder trying to get help from the school's figure skating team.

However, this was not the caste for inline speed skating and ice speed skating. The two sports were so similar that an inline speed skater could practice by ice speed skating, and vice versa. Practice venues for ice skating were scare, and Lisa had substituted ice skating with roller skating for practice in the past.

In other words, if a person could skate fast on ice, they could skate just as equally fast on ground.

From Primary 2 to high school year 1, Lisa had practiced ice skating for eight years. In the beginning, she only ice skated as recreation but in the later years, she trained with intention of becoming a professional sports athletic. It was only that she herself did not preserve in this endeavour.

Despite so, it was still not a problem for her to now race with an ordinary person.

That was right, and ordinary person. In her eyes, skull head was only a recreational skater. After researching on their inline skating club, she discovered that the better ones in the team were all artistic roller skaters. They did not have any member who specialized in inline speed skating.

Therefore, among their entire group, all of them were scrubs in Lisa's eyes.

After counting down, the club president sharply swung down his arm and blew the whistle. "Ready____3,2,1____"

The sharp whistle pierced the air and penetrated everyone's ears. The two on the tracks were like two missiles that had received orders to lunch. "Swoosh" Both of them took off in a blur.

The odds-defying moment that Jimin was hoping for did not appear.

This was because right from the very start, Lisa was in the lead.

The crowd was hushed.

Previously, the silence rose from pessimism. Now, the silence came from their astonishment.

The strange silence continued for some time until someone finally let out a shout "Dafaq"

Then, other exclamations from the audience followed. "Dafaq" "awesome" and "Go for it" The place was flooded with similar cries of encouragement.
