"Don't worry," Seraphina said. "From the very beginning, I've had my eye on first place!" She suddenly broke into a sprint. While the others were merely climbing, she wasn't just walking anymore—she was running up the mountain!
The students on the path were all leaning on sticks, crawling along like snails. Seeing Seraphina's insane speed and inhuman stamina, their mouths couldn't help but twitch. 'Is she even human?' they thought. 'She can still run up the mountain at this point! Is her stamina limitless?'
Michelle Galloway and Crystal Marshall were rendered completely speechless. Seeing Seraphina's agile form and then looking at their own exhausted state, they recalled what they'd said at the beginning and felt their faces burn with embarrassment.
Simon had been in the lead the entire time. Just as victory seemed within his grasp, Seraphina came rushing up from behind.
