There were more than ten people running at the very front of the group, their speed wasn't slow at all. Of the group, the leader was Srinivas. Although he'd come out late, he'd managed to catch up to the people who had the most laps completed within an hour. He'd even overtaken them. Just looking at his appearance, he didn't seem to have used up much energy, his speed hadn't decreased at all the entire time.
After the people at the front of the class, there was a large group of students. There were at least seventy students within this group, and they all ran at a relatively even speed. Running didn't seem to be too exhausting for them. Looking at their speed, it wouldn't be a problem for them to complete a hundred laps within their two allotted hours.
Behind them were still more than ten students who'd been left behind in the back. Sai Joshi was amongst this group. For the sake of catching up to the students in front, Sai Joshi had used a very quick speed to start running as soon as he'd started. However, the drain on his physical strength had started increasing as soon as he finished running twenty or so laps. Not only was he the last person in the class, the number of laps that he'd run was even fewer than the others, due to him having started fifteen minutes later.
More than half of the total time had already passed when Aanya's voice suddenly echoed out in everyone's ears, "Speed up and use my location as the finishing point."
In the middle of her speaking, Srinivas had swept past her with a "swoosh", becoming the first person to complete the hundred laps.
After using an extremely fast speed to finish the hundred laps, Srinivas's handsome face had also turned rosy. He panted slightly as he slowed his pace, and he finally stopped after he'd walked another lap around the plaza.
Gradually, more and more students began to complete their hundred laps after Srinivas. At this moment, there were still fifteen minutes left until the two hours were up.
After Srinivas stopped, his gaze quickly landed on Sai Joshi, who was running at the back. He couldn't help but furrow his brow as he muttered to himself, "How did I lose to him...?"
Sai Joshi's speed had already become much slower than his starting speed. His school uniform was soaked with sweat, and since his martial soul was a spirit-type spirit, the help that his spiritforce provided to his body was smaller than normal. If it weren't for him cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Kally Skill, he would've been in an even worse state.
If Sai Joshi had had the full two hours to complete the hundred laps, he could've still persevered and completed them, although it's was little difficulty. However, after Aanya delaying him earlier, it was just too difficult for him. Deliberately increasing his speed had substantially drained his physical strength. At this moment, he was three laps behind the students next to him, and was still twenty laps away from the hundred laps. Running twenty laps within fifteen minutes was something that was nearly impossible for him.
"No, I must persevere. I can't get disqualified." Sai Joshi clenched his teeth tightly and sped up his footsteps again. For the sake of clearing up his tired mind, he even activated his spiritforce and released a Spirit Shock that was aimed towards himself. The intense pain in his mind also stimulated his bodily functions, and sure enough, his speed increased by a bit once again, allowing him to overtake the few people at the very back of the group.
Aanya quietly stood there. She didn't pay attention to the students who'd already finished their laps. Instead, her gaze fell upon the students who hadn't completed their laps.
Out of these students, the one who had the most tired expression was Sai Joshi. His uniform, which had already been soaked with sweat, wasn't something that could be faked! However, he clenched his teeth tightly as he strenuously persevered.
Time rapidly passed, and Sai Joshi persevered for another eight laps. At this moment, there was only five minutes left until the end of the two hours. Along with Sai Joshi, there were seven other people who hadn't finished running. However, they seemed to only have three to five laps left. Furthermore, they'd already started to use all of their strength to increase their speed. There was still a chance that they'd finish on time. However, Sai Joshi still needed to twelve more laps!
At that moment, a figure suddenly rushed out from the middle of Seven Premier Plaza. It landed behind Sai Joshi, and caught up to him in just a few steps. Following that, a scene which stunned everyone present appeared.
A pair of blue butterfly wings suddenly spread out from the back of the person that was chasing after Sai Joshi. The tips of each wing unceasingly changed between deep blue, azure, and light blue, while the surface of each wing was similar to a bright, V-shaped halo that had been embedded within the blue sky that in turn brought light to the human realm. Its shape and colour were incomparably and flawlessly beautiful.
"Ah—" When such a gorgeous pair of wings suddenly appeared, the shock that it brought to everyone was simply too great. Practically all of the students, regardless of whether they were boys or girls, let out a cry.
That pair of wings was simply too beautiful. Its surface resembled white spouts surging from the azure ocean. The patterns on it, as well as its colour, were extremely magnificent. When it was azure, the entire surface of the wing resembled a bright halo embedded within the blue sky. It occasionally turned deep blue, azure, and then light blue. The white patterns of light on both wings were like pearls that had been embedded within them; they had a bright luster that was extremely enchanting.
