"We are in BIG trouble!", Travis and Jim looked at each other and shouted in unison with wide eyes.

5 minutes later....
On the roaring waters of a river, two young teenagers could be seen riding a Thick tailed water tiger as they zoomed with amazing speed travelling almost a metre per second. As for who these teenagers were, they were non-other than Travis and Jim…
*****
"How many minutes do we have?", Travis asked Jim who was currently looking at his stats.
"Hm, there is a big problem. We have only two minutes left. However, we are at the 46th and 47th positions respectively. We are not going to make it in time.", Jim said worriedly as the wind blew his hair, highlighting his anxiousness even more.
"Hm, can you ask Tails to move a little faster? Or else we won't make it in time with this speed.", Travis said. He was also clearly anxious but not like Jim.
"Hm, okay! Tails, can you move a little faster? We won't make it in time with this kind of speed.", Jim said to Tails in a pleading tone.
As if it totally understood its master's feelings, Tails simply nodded his head. His scales then began to change colour from the usual black to bright red. As the red colour became more prominent, their speed also began to accelerate from a metre per second to around three metres per second.
"Em, what is happening? AH~~", Travis shouted as Tails released a huge boost of speed, totally surprising them.

Back at the stadium…
Two young teenagers could be seen riding a Thick tailed water tiger as they zoomed with amazing speed travelling at almost twenty metres per second. The Thick tailed tiger also displayed its diverse and nice way of swimming, leaving the crowd's mouth agape.
Visitor's lounge…
The visitor's lounge was a nicely furnished cabin that was prepared by the school to welcome visitors. It was where the dignitaries were all received, and highlighting the importance of these dignitaries were the teachers that were chosen as advisors for the dignitaries concerning the ceremony …
"Oh? So, they were able to tame the beast huh? It seems that this guy has some huge potential. I might add him to the list of people that would be sent to the academy.", Mr Wright smiled as he looked at Travis and who was currently being shown on the screen riding the Thick tailed tiger.
"Hmph!", surprisingly, Mr Rose simply coldly snorted and didn't say anything. Seeing, Mrs Rose's expression, Mr Wright simply shook his head.
"Hey, Mr Wright, you seem to be really enjoying the program. Don't you?", a voice suddenly called out to Mr Wright.
Turning his head to the source of the voice, Mr Wright saw who called out to him. It was none other than Mr Bruno Evatt, one of the dignitaries that came to the ceremony and also the representative of one of the best schools on the continent. He had grey, frizzy hair slightly covering a long, charming face. Bloodshot black eyes, set tightly within their sockets, mesmerized those who saw them.
"Oh, So it's you. Yeah. I am really enjoying the ceremony.", Mr Wright smiled friendly and said.
"Yeah. But it seems that you have your eyes on that little teenager who tamed the thick-tailed tiger. Do you have your eyes on him?", Mr Bruno Evatt asked in a curious voice.
However, even before Mr Wright replied, the advisor for Mr Bruno Evatt, another teacher whispered a few words into his ears. Mr Bruno Evatt face changed into that of anger for a moment before changing back to a face full of smiles.
"My apology, I was just informed that the young teenager is called Travis and so, I should address him as so. Now, back to the topic. Do you have your eyes on him?", Mr Bruno Evatt asked again after his apology.
"Hm? Maybe. It depends", Mr Wright gave a simple answer and smiled strangely.

"How many minutes do we have left?", Travis asked Jim as they moved at a high speed towards their destination, the mad Terrain.
"We have 20 seconds left! I don't think we will be able to make it!", Jim replied.
"Hm, I see. We might make it if Tails is able to launch us into the sky.", Travis said.
"Huh? Sky? How is he going to do that?", Jim asked bewilderedly.
"Hm. I have heard that Thick tailed tigers have very strong tails. We have about one kilometre to surpass the person with the 39th and 40th positions respectively. And per my calculations, we won't be able to make it!"
"So I think that if Tails should suddenly break his speed right now, it will be able to create a force that will allow us to win the race. And take over the 39th and 40th positions. ", Travis explained.
"Okay, I get your idea, but how are we going to land?", Jim asked.
"We will know after we get off Tails. Now tell him to let us off now!", Travis said demandingly.
"Em, Okay. Tails stop moving now! And throw us off your back!", Jim also said demandingly.
*Swish!*
With a loud swish, Travis and Jim were thrown off Tails back. Leaving them to the mercy of the wind.
"10…"
"9…"
"8…"
"7…"
"6…"
Jim seemed nervous however, Travis continued to count as they flew in the air.
"Why the hell are you counting?", Jim asked confusedly as they began to fall.
Hearing Jim's shout, Travis shouted back, "You will know soon!"
Hearing what Travis said, Jim proceeded to look downwards and then,
"CRAP! WE WILL DEFINITELY DIE!", Jim said as they went down to the heavily rocked ground with rock peaks showing in an arranged manner as if they were ready for war.
