With one palm spread open, she collided it with her other hand which was clenched in a fist.

�One person blocks the road. The other hits from another side. It�s a great strategy to block both the instantaneousness of teleportation and the space leap aspect of it. If Shirone didn�t dodge by modifying his usual cycle, he would have fallen down. Well, I would have found some other way using equations of motion.�

Her classmates turned their heads towards the training ground again.

�Gosh, what a poser.�

Meanwhile, Shirone began to get a little nervous after looking at the growing distance between him and Mark.

350 meters remaining.

By the halfway point, the only competitors left were Shirone and Mark.

�I won! I�m first!�

Convinced that he was going to win, Mark�s body vibrated with excitement.

Although he had leaped about 40 times, seeing as how there was no one standing in his way, he did not feel fatigued.

�I�m the one who will pass!�

High-speed promotion to Class 5. The faces of envious classmates and the sour faces of Class 6 upperclassmen crossed his mind.

�HAHAHA! I�m first!�

As Mark sped up the tempo of his teleportation, the distance between him and Shirone began to widen even more.

�Mark is in good condition. He will complete the exam by the looks of it. At the rate I�m going, I won�t be able to retake first place.�

There was only one possible method left for Shirone.

�Acceleration.�

While he might be able to get closer to Mark, the risk of breaking his routine was high.

However, the only solution was to increase his teleportation link rhyme by a beat faster.

�HEUP!�

With clenched teeth, Shirone�s rhythm suddenly accelerated. The sound of the teleportation wave resounded like the beat of a drum.

The excitement of the students reached its peak.

�Shirone is starting to catch up! The winner is going to be decided soon!�

�Mark! Faster! Faster!�

Like the last spurt of track and field, everyone�s adrenaline shot up as the distance shortened.

Then, something strange was detected by Mark.

The iron bar of the Bridge That Cannot Be Crossed started fluctuating like waves.

Mark frowned.

At first, he thought he was mistaken, but now he was sure that the bar was squirming around like a living creature.
