"Run!" Wade shouted out once everyone had gotten ready. Since he had placed a bet on the results he made sure to start even and fair with everyone. He wasn't going to play any tricks and win with his own skills.
Walker was able to stay on par with Alma to some degree but found that Wade was moving much faster than he expected.
Unfortunately for Gil, he was watching everyone rush away. He needed to be more careful due to the risk of him falling. There was also the fact that he didn't have any skill that allowed him to run through the trees. The elves had their natural born skill which Walker had learned and Scylla was literally running on the air in some places to make it top the next branch faster.
