Code Unknown: Guild Adventures In A Different Dimension?

Running Event!

Max was left behind. But, he also had a trick up his sleeves.

Max summoned a magic circle in his back.

Max: Air Torque!

The magic circle released a huge amount of air and it boosted Max's running to 50% speed.

Ace: I see... so he meant to take last place in order to know what his opponent's magic is.

Julie: Max is so clever.

***

Max is catching up to the other three in max speed.

Vine: That guy is good...

Gust: He is catching up real quick... but...

Gust summoned another magic circle on the ground and created a wall, in order to prevent Max from catching up to them.

Max summoned two magic circles down on his feet and it released another strong winds. Max jumped over the wall easily.

Max: I'm not done yet!

Max increased the power on the magic circle in his back and he was able to catch up to them.

Max: Alright!!

Gust: This guy..!

Vine: Very clever...

***

Ace: He managed to get past them! Alright!

Juniper: That idiot...

Julie: What's wrong, master? In their speed, they already reached about 28 Kilometers already, and Max is actually winning.

Juniper: I know... but that idiot has done it...

***

Max: I'm actually gonna win!

Suddenly, Max's head feels all fuzzy and he's starting to lose speed.

And finally, he collapsed and fell down on the ground.

Max looked what's ahead, and saw that the finish line is approximately 1 meter in front of him.

But, the three competitors reached the finish line at the same time, leaving Max behind.

Max: Damn it!!

***

Julie fell on her knees.

Julie: He lost...

Ace: He used all of his magic power to catch up to them...

Juniper: Looks like we lost on the first day...

***

Jack: What a breathtaking race that was! And in the end, both the 3 teams earned 25 points for crossing the finish line, while Max from Pixies Scale is left with no points and is on a condition of mana fatigue.

The rescuers lift Max off the course and took him to the healing section.

Jack: That concludes the game for today! Tomorrow is the Intelligence event, so make sure ya'll don't miss out!

And so... that concludes the first day of the Mystic games. It might not sound very long, but the running event took about 2 hours to finish.

Ace went to the park on his own and began his hours of training once more.

Meanwhile, Julie and the twins planned their strategy on how they can win the event tomorrow.

Ezra and the master are back to their respective rooms.

***

Ace: The running event is not only for using your magic to victory... the key to win that event is to use your magic wisely and to prevent things that happened just like what happened to Max. This Mystic Games is literally testing the 3 factors that a mage needs in order to be strong. And the first one, is to use ones' magic carefully.

On the distance, Cleo is still watching Ace, and is still curious on where he gathers his strength from.
