Chapter 65: The race

-The higher in the air you go, the more magic traps and arrays are, so flying would be slow, it's best if you just dodge the traps on the ground with your occasional leap, you'll have a better chance this way- Dabria advised

I then heard a lot of noise, it was the participants whose feet I froze, they aimed all their spells at me to slow me down, I then activated blackhole and it sucked all their magic into it.

"Suck it losers" I taunted them as they shot more spells and wasted their mana

-Your taunting is something- Diana commented

-We should get a screen like this, maybe we can watch a movie as we slack off- Ace added

-Well his lazy genes has already infected one of us- Dabria grumbled

I then ran forward to see a path of deep water

-We can't go to the sides, that will be off the path and we'll be disqualified and if we freeze the water, it'll give the others time to catch up-

-You can't swim or fly eithers, there's a lot of magic traps laid out in the air and underwater, just run on the water- Dabria replied

-That's my plan-

I then run on water while surrounded by lightning magic

-The swimmers will feel a lot of tingles- Damon said

-That's not all, just wait-

Elliot saw me stopping on the other side of the water and stopped in his tracks, he knew something was up, Caleb also stopped, Liam flew slowly while avoiding traps in the air. The other students just ran past them and jumped into the water and swim, I placed both my hands in the water and electrocuted the swimmers.

The others saw this and stopped in their tracks but I used magic to shot the water upwards towards them and use even more lightning magic to electrocuted them, most of them were fried and passed out

I shot a lot of spells to the ones in the air, a few fell into the water and got electrocuted as for the others, since it didn't work, I shot my spells to the traps and activated them and they all had a chain reaction, they then taking down the people in the air, I then turned and continue running.

We then stumbled upon a large group of magic bests obstructing our path

-Shit!-

-You can use 'Presence but that would knock them all out, and they won't be able to slow your opponents down- Dabria suggested

I thought as I ran forward using charm to its max output, the animals then ignored me, those that didn't tried to jump at me but I used wind magic to knock them away, after I past them, I then used 'Presence' and turn it up high, but not its maximum output, it then scared the beasts, they all ran and flew to the opposite direction

-The stampede will slow them down and knock down a few along in its path

-Since when did you know charm?!- Dabria asked

-Since I asked whether I should seduce the girl during the exhibition match-

-So you weren't joking?!- Dabria shouted

-This maybe in my head, but it's loud you know-

I then continued running while being surrounded by wind and lightning magic

-From what we can see, you're in quite a lead- Damon commented

-You should've seen your stampede, they ran over a lot of people- Siege said

-Some even jumped off the path and disqualified themselves- Ace laughed -Some of them got their bones crushed-

-Lucky that causing a stampede isn't against the rules- Diana sighs

We were halfway through the course, then our path lead us into a thick jungle filled with spiked vines and magic traps

-Those training in the forest finally comes in real handy-

I then run through and dodge all the traps quite easily, it wasn't long till I reached the end and was on the edge of a cliff, the bottom of it was stream of water, to get to the other side was a really long and unstable bridge, a referee was there next to a sign

'Cutting the bridge off is against the rules, and no warping for spatial magic users'

-The wind here is intense, but I gotta run-

-The wind is made by magic, use blackhole- Dabria suggested

I then ran onto the wooden bridge that was swaying due to intense wind, I then created blackhole to suck all of the wind magic that kept dispersing, but when I reached the other side, I deactivate the blackhole and more wind magic came to sway the unstable bridge.

I then ran at max speed, I then arrive at a tall climbing wall.

-Don't fly, stick close to the rocks, the air is riddled with arrays that was knock you down- Dabria warned

-Lucky I put runes and enchantment on these shoes myself-

I then inject magic into them and ran, my shoes had gravity rune on it that allowed me to walk on the walls

-It's good being able to have all magical attribute-

I ran upwards and arrived at the top and I can see the finish line far away, it was a big warp gate that warp the students back to the coliseum, I ran towards it and we finally arrive at the last obstacle, a field of explosives.

I used fire magic to explode me forward and I did the same trick, I used metal magic and created a large cover, i shot a fireball to several explosives on the ground, as I land, it then launched me forward past the field, I used wind magic to soften my landing and ran towards the finish line, I arrived at the warp gate and ran into it, the other side was the cheering crowd of the coliseum.

Professor Steel was on site and ran up to me "Good job kid, you won"

"That was tiring" I panted "Do I get a prize after this?"

"Hahaha, of course you will"
