Chereads / That Legendary Man / Chapter 38 - Obstacle course race!

Chapter 38 - Obstacle course race!

"UP FIRST IS AN OBSTACLE COURSE!!" everyone cheers in excitement as a countdown starts on the T.V's. Mia takes a deep breath feeling nervous as he turns and Ryuuji nods to him.

"Only Gyro… only Gyro…" a loud buzzer goes off as all of the students run full speed ahead. Mia is near the front of the group as a large wall comes into view. King started to announce the event.

"In this obstacle course race… all of the students have to run around the outside of the stadium and enter in the way they came… but in their way there will be several obstacles… The first one to start off is a several story tall wall they have to climb over" Mia looks up at the wall as the other students easily figure out how to make it over. Mia jumped really high. Yosu and Ryuuji, still in the crowd, watch as he makes it to the top and jumps over.

"Didn't know he could do that…" Ryuuji looks at Yosu.

"Neither did I" Mia lands on the ground and into a roll as he runs forward still behind some people. He pushes himself and starts running faster but slows down when a large gap appears in front of him.

"The second obstacle is a 50 meter gap with 5 steel beams you can use to make it across" Mia doesn't slow down but speeds up as he runs faster than he knew he could naturally. He plants his foot firmly into the ground on the very edge of the gap and launches himself into the air instantly already halfway over the gap. The crowd goes crazy as some people start realizing why Mia was the representative. Mia lands on the ground and continues forward as Daiki approaches behind him.

"Hey daiki" Mia kept running as fast as he could. Daiki was floating on a blaster moving roughly the same speed as Mia.

"That was a pretty impressive leap of faith back there you measly cat boy" Mia laughs a bit.

"I've been training" Mia stops as does Daiki.

"The third obstacle is a large hollow pipe that's held up by strings. The more weight that's put on it… the farther underwater it goes… and if you touch that water… you. Are. out!" Mia gulps as Daiki flies forward on his blaster. Mia lifts his head and smiles as he jumps from support beam to support beam and makes it across the water. Mia soon catches up with Daiki who grits his teeth. Daiki flies even faster as Mia falls behind. Daiki quickly stops at the final obstacle.

"The final obstacle is the same 50 meter gap but this time with a single string hanging from some steel beams is the only way across" Daiki starts floating across as something flies past his face and the next he knows is Mia is jumping through the air with a smile seemingly having fun. Daiki smirks and bolts forward reaching the other side at the same time as Mia. They both move forward at the same speed as the crowd cheers like crazy. They enter the tunnel from before and both exit into center field at the same time. Mia slows down as does Daiki and they look at each other. Mia smiles at Daiki who looks away.

"That was so much fun daiki" Mia starts laughing as Raito Bimu runs in 2nd place and Iida in 3rd. After a minute or two all the remaining students enter the center field and move to stand in front of the wooden platform and Mikai again.

"Welcome back dear students… The next event will be held shortly… use this time for relaxation!" Mia turns to Ryuuji and Yosu who are exhausted.

"You two look exhausted…"
