98TH GEAR - SPEEDMAGE CHAMPION OF THE EASTERN ZEPHYR

98TH GEAR – SPEEDMAGE CHAMPION OF THE EASTERN ZEPHYR

"If you are a child of the wind, you should be able to walk in the skies like me." Arwyn arrogantly said.

The opponent half-elf drifted in the wind and then continued pursuing the next Checkpoint Tower as she follows the hologram line below.

"That was amazing! Did you see it, Jonathan?" Flu asked with a thrill in her voice.

"Yeah, that is Air Walk. I think you have seen it in the Speedmage Tactics book." I said.

"But we never got to try it. It's the same principle as the Air Trampoline, right?" Flu asked.

"Maybe. Focus on touching the 2nd Checkpoint Tower for now." I said.

"Roger!"

I am not sure about the magical circle formula engraved on the Air Walk magic, but I am pretty sure that both spells are similar. I have a feeling that Flu will copy that spell and make her version since I can see a glint in her blue eyes.

Flu managed to close into the 2nd Checkpoint Tower. She turned off the Exceed enhancement on her Stardust Accel Spell, then she touched the checkpoint and drifted to the next line!

Beep!

Point for Fluonessia, at 1:1!

By the time Flu tied the score, Arwyn has already covered 40% of the distance towards the 3rd Checkpoint Tower. If Flu wanted to have a battle of raw speed, then she will have to change tactics as Stardust Accel Exceed is not enough to outspeed the opponent!

"Hup!"

Flu jumped up in the air and enchanted the soles of her Speedmage Shoes with stardust energy. A small Stardust Trampoline manifested, and then she used it to skip in midair! She alternated her feet in creating small floating pink magical trampolines and used them as her platform!

"Look, Coach! Look! I can now walk in the skies!" Flu happily celebrated as she skipped and hopped in midair while having her Stardust Accel active. Right now, Flu is rapidly catching up with the opponent's speed!

"Amazing! You managed to copy my speed spell just after watching it the first time!?" Arwyn exclaimed astounded.

"Yeah!" Flu smiled with confidence. "I will call this speed spell: Star Walk!"

Color me surprised. Flu's brain is like a sponge: hollow and full of air. But she can absorb any information with ease, especially regarding speed spells and Speed Battle techniques.

30 meters! 20 meters! 10 meters! Flu is catching up on Arwyn who is still on the lead! But the half-elf Speedmage managed to close into the 3rd Checkpoint Tower and touched it!

Beep!

Point for Arwyn, at 1:2!

All of a sudden...

Beep!

Point for Fluonessia, at 2:2!

Arwyn was speechless when she saw that Flu was just literally one step behind her. The moment the two Speedmages drifted in midair, Flu pulled a sudden boost that left the astounded half-elf Speedmage!

"Yaaaaaaah!" Flu roared as she finally made it to the lead!

"That's great, Flu!" I pumped my fists.

Flu can do this. She may be a Counter Speedmage who has a disadvantage in a race against a Speedster, but her speed spells, genius mind, and ultimate instinct made her able to surpass even the speed of a Speedster like Arwyn Gweiss.
