"Is that guy Faust?" A female standing beside Fab asks hastily.
"Hm?" Faust responds.
"Hm? What are you trying to act cool? I was so frustrated from the day I heard about you from lady Tsumugi!" She rolls her fists tight, ready to throw a challenge.
"Let's have a duel right here and now!" She utters.
"Rachel! The test I have arranged is for you! So you would have the opportunity to fight against him!" Fab laughs with his hands resting on his hips. "Shall we go to the test then?"
"Perfect! Let's see what you are made of!" Rachel! The girl that wanted to compete with Faust says. Ever since she heard the praisings from Lady Tsumugi, she cannot hold herself back to prove that she is way better than Faust.
"Ok! Twenty rounds around this training ground!" Fab announces loud and clear.
"Huh?" Rachel couldn't believe what she heard.
"Twe-twe-twe-twe-twenty?????" Jonathan runs towards fab, takes a long leap and goes for a kowtow in front of him." I will die Fab! I will die, I will die, I will die! Please make it easier for newer Fab!" He starts pleading.
"And also, our family would be watching you guys from the sidelines." Completely ignoring the existence of Jonathan fab points at the seatings outside the grounds.
Lady Tsumugi with her husband James Fannon. All 8 maids of their house with their head Butler Charles.
*"Hmm who is the lady sitting in between Tsumugi and her husband?"* There is one more person sitting in between Tsumugi and James. She's wearing a long white dress with golden lace that is spread on to her shoulder with a red hat tilted to the side.
"Okay, so y'all ready?" Fab gets ready to give the signal to begin the race around the lap.
"Oh, btw did I tell to forget! You need to run with your max speed from the very first lap itself!" Fab says in the last minute. "Ready! Go!" Before anyone could put up an objection.
Both Jonathan and Rachel bent their bodies forward as the professional athletes would do, before taking off! Whereas Faust simply stands still, he did not even take the opportunity given by Fab to take off his hoodie.
At full speed during all laps because this is not a race to see who runs 20laps to come first. This is an endurance test! Run with full speed, even for 5 or even 3 laps. That signifies the stamina, endurance and test to see the limits of your body.
As Fab gives the signal, all three of them takes off quickly. Jonathan and Rachel are a bead of Faust from the first because of their technique. They take breath pauses in between and control their breathing which helps their body to go fast at a steady pace.
*"Heh! All those praises about him and he is behind us."* Rachel starts to celebrate to show everyone that Faust is nothing more than an average kid.
"Woahhhhhh Rachel run fast!" Jonathan shouts in a scared voice.
Rachel looks back and Faust is catching up to them with great speed. He looks like a hungry monster, hunting its prey. Without any delay, Rach.e.l.l speeds up her running but in a matter of seconds. Faust pa.s.ses her while both are in great speed. She can see Faust crossing her while she helplessly puts all of her strength into running, but Faust keeps getting faster and faster.
She notices how he is running barefoot. And looks like he is enjoying running. Very soon, he pa.s.ses Jonathan too.
Both of them still think it's fine because, at some point, Faust will be tired and slows his pace.
One lap is finished! Second! Third! Tenth! Faust is still running at the same speed. Where Jonathan and Rachel gave up, upon fainting in the sixth round. They up to see Faust running his tenth.
"Impossible! How?" Rachel says in a low voice, not being able to comprehend what her eyes are witnessing.
Barefoot creating a thumping sound on the ground. "I have never witnessed anyone doing this! This never happened! I thought he would be tired but! This is crazy!" Fab watches while being dumbstruck.
He completes all twenty rounds around the huge oval-shaped ground. And stops at the finis.h.i.+ng line. His breath also seemed to be under control. Without any panting or gasping for air. He breathes normally and comes towards his squad.
'You-" Before Fab tries going to Faust to tell him something. Jonathan runs quickly pus.h.i.+ng Fab away, he holds the hand of Faust"Did you not get tired after all that running?" He asks with sparkling eyes.
" I used to do 10 rounds around my village back at my home. So this is nothing more than a jog for me." Faust declares.
"Tsk! Look at you trying to be all cool! This is a matter of physical endurance. My main ability is sniping! And of course, I'm a girl so obviously, I'm weaker compared to flat-chested guys." Rachel says as she holds together her twin mounds closer, displaying her huge round capes.
"Yes indeed! I agree with you." Faust mumbles, with that much fat in your body, it is commendable that you ran six laps." He continues, dealing a lethal blow that results in slow kill. Slow because Rachel is immersed in pride for Faust agreeing with her. But then the poison reached her ears slowly and she was confused and then struck with lightning.
"Whwhat-what? What????? You little!" The words. .h.i.t her hard, directly piercing her heart and rupturing the layer of her ego. For Rachel, she is the most beautiful girl in her cla.s.s and for 17, her body developed quite 'big' which adds extra properties to her body. Making her seem cute and got at the same time.
This time Fab cuts in pus.h.i.+ng Rachel aside, "How did you run that fast and for that long?" He asks in surprise, kneeling down on the ground, touching the calf muscles of Faust! They are normal.
Generally, if a person runs faster for too long. Lactic acids are released, along with some enzymes. The fibres might break and the leg muscles will stiffen up. But nothing like that happened in Faust's case. He kept running for an hour straight in his extreme speed.
Lady Tsumugi, James and also the other person with them are as impressed as everyone.
"You! Let's do a sniping duel, right now, right here and we will see who is better." Rachel yells loudly with red cheeks.
"Y-yes let's get ready for the sniping round too," Fab informs them of the next round!
"Uh-But I cannot use spiritual power."
