Chapter 417 I Think Its Because I Was Able to Grab it With my Own Power (2/2)

With my limiter removed, my body kicks the ground with tremendous force, and I start running at more than twice the speed I was before.

When he saw me rapidly closing the distance between me and Megiddo-san, even Megiddo-san was astonished as he exclaimed in surprise.

However…… This freaking hurts! Ouchingly hurts! I’m also hearing some kind of tearing sound coming from my feet, which definitely doesn’t sound good at all!

I mean, I’m pretty sure my bones are broken too! Well, even if my bones are broken, magic power would still force my legs to move!

Ahh, but as my body screamed in pain, trying to catch up with Megiddo-san…… I also finally understood why I was working so hard.

Of course, there’s also the fact that I can’t lose and waste Anima and the others’ help towards me…… but perhaps, a reason even more important than that……

Megiddo-san is really amazing. There were many obstacles in this race that were in my favor. The best example for this is that Rubik’s Cube obstacle.

It must have been the first time he had seen a Rubik’s Cube too. Even so, Megiddo-san was able to clear that puzzle and overtake me.

I’ve been watching Megiddo-san’s movements as reference for Autopilot…… and I was moved by how refined his body movements are.

Megiddo-san is not only powerful, he is also knowledgeable and skilled…… A real warrior who polishes himself without compromise. I think he’s a really great person…… And now, for whatever reason, I am fighting against him.

I wonder if that’s the reason why…… The reason why I wanted to win. His blazing fighting spirit seemed to have ignited my heart as well.

Because Megiddo-san is an amazing person, a warrior who I can truly and undeniably respect…… I want to win against Megiddo-san. It’s not like when we first met, where I somehow won with Shiro-san’s blessing…… I want to win against Megiddo-san with my own power!

[Guhhh!?]

Overtaking Megiddo-san, we are almost to the finish line…… but at that moment, the magic power in my body is about to run out.

As strength slowly loses strength, I feel like I’m seeing things in slow motion while my body starts tumbling forward.

No, not now…… Just a few more steps…… From within my body, squeeze every ounce of magic power out! I will win!!! I will win against Megiddo-san!!!

Feeling magic power passing through my crumbling legs again, I regained my footing and ran.

I reached the goal. I beat Megiddo-san! As soon as such feelings come to my mind, Autopilot is completely deactivated.

When that happens, I would be met with a terrible situation where “my legs would suddenly stop while I’m running my maximum speed”, and my body would be thrown forward.

I guess this could only end up with my face smacking on the ground huh…… That would definitely hurt…… Well, it was a suicide mission knowing that I have Fruits of the World Tree with me to begin with, so I was prepared for such a situation…… but I definitely wish for an alternative way where it doesn’t hurt……

Closing my eyes, I prepared for the moment when my face hit the ground first. However, what I felt immediately after was not the pain of my face hitting the ground, but the feeling of being softly and gently hugged.

[……Eh?]

[Haahhh…… You’re being reckless again……]

[……Kuro?]

[Geez, Kaito-kun really won’t change, aren’t you?]

Before I knew it, Kuro was holding me in her arms, and with an amazed expression on her face, she brought her hand over my legs.

Thereupon, my legs were enveloped in light, and the pain I had felt earlier completely disappeared.

[……But well, congratulations. You really did great.]

[……Thanks.]

[……But that doesn’t mean you can escape from my scolding later.]

[……Eh?]

As Kuro held me in her arms, I slowly moved my gaze backward and saw Megiddo-san standing at the goal, clapping his hands with a gentle smile on his face.

[Go on, Kaito-kun. Megiddo and the crowd are waiting for you…… Go ahead. Show your confidence as today’s winner.]

[……Yeah.]

Dear Mom, Dad————- Megiddo-san took it very easy on me, and the race course was in my favor. It may not have been a complete victory, but a great feeling still welled up from within me. I’m sure that it’s because, despite all the help I’ve gotten———— I think it’s because I was able to grab this victory with my own power.

Suddenly hearing her cheers while Kaito is in a dilemma, Anima has completely got ahold of the heroine position. Kuro feels more like a Hero though…… Arehh?

Today, I’m updating a little early and going to bed early…… I’m also working early tomorrow.

T/N: I won’t be having any bonus chapter tomorrow. I was originally planning to just post one chapter today since I only finished one YuuShou chapter yesterday, but it would end up in a cliffhanger so…… No bonus chapter tomorrow.
