"The race will be straight forward, no gi your feet and your Syste the rules of the gaoal is to reach froigantic size, all of thele race

"What?"

"All at the same time? But there are like 40 of us!"

"Hoill they even evaluate us?"

Hearing the students' qualh "Oh, you will know once all of this is over We're not grading you here, fishes", he then pointed at the side, where the representatives of various Explorer Guilds atching them, "It is them you should be worried about"

This wasn't an official school activity, it was 's class The winner would be based on how many Explorer Guilds take interest in their students

Mr Jacobs and Mr Lang, however, could not help but squint their eyes as they looked at the group of guild representatives on the side They were only expecting four people, their friends, and acquaintances frouilds

But with the unexpected appearance of souilds followed suit

This was beco

"Now line up, you fishes!", Mr Jacobs said as he pushed two of his students, urging the others to go to the end of the field

The hesitation that still plastered their faces earlier can no longer be found as all of them lined up neatly at the end of the field

Even though there were 40 of them, the students were still 5 e the field really is

Van, as the smallest of his class, was of course, at the end of the very line, next to Beatrice He still had a worried face as he stared at Beatrice's expression

'Is this… the real her?', Van could not help but think Even though it was only faint and she was trying her best not to show it on her face, her eyes that were full of obsession could not escape Van's eyes

Van has met a lot of people in the slums that had eyes like her, and they all shared the same fate-- they were either in jail or dead

After a while, Van shook his head This was not the ti of somebody else After all, he was no different

Van likes to look in the mirror from time to time, to remind him that he too, has the same eyes

And so, with a deep breath, he looked to the front, to the goal He tapped his feet nu to see how fast he could do it, but alas, it was not any faster than what it normally is

Van could not help but furrow his eyebrows, he then activated one of his skills, [Time Perception]

All of the world's noises that were previously clouding his ears suddenly died down The short blades of grass littering the field also stopped dancing

Van tried to tap his foot andas slow as everything else He immediately felt motion sickness as he felt too disoriented with his body not being able to catch up to his mind

And so, he immediately canceled the [Tiround The sound of hi almost reached the other end of the line

"Vvan, are you okay!?", Beatrice was about to rush towards hihout the field, signaling the untiize to Van as blades of grass rotated on her body Her hair also lifted up due to the gust of wind that was circling her, and soon enough, she was slightly floating in the air

"I'ized as the wind pushed her forward at a fast speed, quickly getting ahead of the rest of the students
