The blue frames disappeared. Adam took a step forward. Something had changed in him. He felt more self-assurance and stronger. The world sped past him with just one step.
The stores along the streetside appeared as a single, long, fuzzy block of color as he took another step. He was not merely moving. He was not even trying to move that fast.
He wanted to test his speed. He began jogging alongside the road. He saw a car drive by. He began to run a bit more quickly. Now he was running as fast as the car. It was simple. The driver gave him a look. His eyes were wide.
Adam was emotionless. No weariness. No stress. There was no burning in his lungs. He had no fatigue in his legs. He could run like this all day, he thought. He had not even exerted himself to the limit. He simply had a new baseline.
