Izumi's POV
On your mark.
Get set.
The horn was heard. The race has started!
As the horn started to sound, Me and the one who I am racing against started to run very fast but as you can see he's faster than me. The gap between me and him became wider.
Stride..
It really is a rough sport.
But It's really fun!
The race is still not over.
We're still running. My stamina is rapidly decreasing. My legs are getting tired. I really can't see the face of the one who I am racing with but he's smiling. I can see his teeth grinning. Still I keep running along with him.
I can't pass him! He's too fast!
Just do what you always do when you're running Izumi. I reminded myself. Control your breathing. Swing your arms faster as you ran faster.
"Izumi! Keep up," He shouted to me.
"Just believe! You can pass me!," He shouted again.
50 meters to go, Take-over Zone!
While were running, there are some obstacles, I guess we gotta do some gimmicks.
I saw him put his hands on the obstacle and jumped with using some power of his hands on the obstacle. His jump became higher.
I was amazed how he cleared the obstacle. There's no way I can jump like that.
I was gonna copy what he did.
I though I did it perfectly, but I was wrong.
My right foot bumped at the top of the obstacle, I stumbled and it was a bad landing. I landed hard on my left arm.
Darn it! It hurts!
"Uh-oh! Izumi Orihime is in big trouble! If he can;t continue they can be disqualified!" The announcer announced.
Suddenly I heard a ringing sound.
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing! Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing!
Then I heard someone calling to me.
"Izumi! Get up!"
Mom? What is she doing here?
"You'll be late for school!"
Huh? What does she mean?
Weird...
