"Speed is more than just running.It's reading the wind, anticipating the curve, slicing through the air like a blade.And for some… it's blood. It's legacy."
🏁 Location: Zeta Arena — Speed Track
An endless straightaway, filled with curves, floating obstacles, and shifting ground segments.Crystal lanes, side wind currents, and sensors everywhere.
A giant hologram floats in the sky:
TEST 2 – SPEEDTechnical race with obstacles. No flying or teleportation allowed. Only pure speed and terrain reading.
Everyone lines up at the starting line.The world is watching.The guilds are watching.The leaders are commenting.
🎤 Broadcast Panel
Commentator:— "And now, the speed trial! Remember, the current record belongs to... Ray Stormbreak, 19 seconds flat! Will anyone be able to break that legendary mark?"
Lorien Valtier (watching):— "Tch, that brat... let's see if he really inherited anything from Ray."
Ray Stormbreak (calm expression):— "He doesn't need to break any record. He just needs... to trust his own legs."
🏁 Participants Ready
Darius (stretching his legs):— "Alright. Now we're in my territory."
Leon (clenching his fists):— "No one's passing me. I'm raw power in motion."
Rose (analyzing the track):— "I memorized the pattern. I know where to step, where not to. That's half the race."
Inavy (looking at the sky):— "...Ray, today, it's for me."
He lowers his head, emerald green eyes glowing.A gentle breeze passes. The world seems to slow for just a second.
💥 BEEP! – START SIGNAL
They all explode forward.
Leon takes the early lead with sheer brute force.Darius shifts into his light-footed style — arms relaxed, breath steady.Rose runs with pinpoint precision — short jumps, technical spins.She leaps over two obstacles and slides through a corridor like she's dancing.
But then... the thunder awakens.
⚡ Inavy Stormbreak
In a flash, Inavy shifts his posture.He crouches, dark curly hair rippling, his eyes gleaming…And he runs like a crimson bolt of invisible lightning.
— "It's not just about running. It's about feeling the wind. Becoming part of it."
The sound of the track fades.Even the sensors can't track his real acceleration.
He not only passes Leon — he spins in the air, lands sideways on a wall, and surges forward.
Darius (shocked):— "What the…?! He's floating on the wind?!"
Rose (internal):— "He became one with the track… just like his father."

👏 Reactions
Crowd:— "He broke Ray's record!"— "Typical Stormbreak!"— "That kid's got lightning for legs!"
Kelvin Nox (watching from above, cold):— "Hmph. He's fast... but he's not at the top yet."
Ray Stormbreak (smiling to himself):— "Pride? No… that glow now belongs to him alone."
💬 After the Trial
Darius (leaning on Inavy, exhausted):— "Dude, are you crazy?! You were floating?!"
Inavy (humble):— "It was just the wind... lending a hand."
Rose (with a faint smile):— "You made history today, Inavy. Don't forget that."
Leon (sighing):— "Losing to someone like that... alright, fine, that's less humiliating."
