Ken didn't panic, slowly increasing his pace and continuing to crawl forward. He was currently close to 80% of his full pace, which was usually what he completed his morning runs at.
His lungs which were accustomed to long runs were efficiently pumping oxygen into his body like a machine.
'Okay, time to stop playing.' He thought inwardly, feeling a smile form onto his face.
WHOOSH
The second years running alongside Ken suddenly felt something brush past them.
"W-What!?"
5, 6, 7.
Ken began to pass the runners one by one, his eyes set on the runner at the front. It wasn't long until he was alongside him.
"Haaah haaah how are you so fast" He managed to get out between sucking in deep breaths from his mouth.
"Training." Ken said simply before pulling in front of him.
