BOTH OF YOU, START!"

"Full Moon's Cry." Luna unleashed her skill.

[Full Moon's Cry] [Werewolf Race Exclusive Skill] [S-Rank]

[Full Moon's Cry, an ancestral skill whispered in the depths of werewolf lore, stirs primal forces within. When the moon ascends to its fullest glory, a howl echoes through the night, triggering the awakening of hidden power. The werewolf, bathed in the ethereal glow of moonlight, experiences a surge of heightened ability. Muscles ripple with untamed strength, senses sharpen to unearthly acuity, and a feral aura emanates, marking them as a force to be reckoned with.

Increases all spells and skill's effects by 200%.]

"Awoooooooo..."

Luna's voice echoed through the academy grounds as she unleashed her powerful skill, Full Moon's Cry.

Her muscles rapidly expanded, growing to 1.5 times their original size within a minute. A surge of untamed power surged through her veins, marked by her feral aura and heightened senses.

"Seraphina, did you see that? That's the legendary skill of the martial house that I was telling you about the other day," Landon exclaimed, awe-struck by Luna's display of power.

"Now, that's truly a legendary skill," Seraphina replied, her eyes wide with amazement.

"Wait, look at Luna. She's using another skill," Landon pointed out as he observed Luna carefully.

"Lightning Sprint..." Luna declared.

[Lightning Sprint] [Martial Arts] [A-Rank]

[Lightning Sprint, a surge of electrifying power that courses through the veins, granting the user the swiftness of lightning itself. When this skill is unleashed, the individual becomes an embodiment of electrifying speed, streaking across the terrain with blinding velocity.

Harnessing the Lightning Sprint, the user's speed is boosted to an astounding 150% for 50 minutes, granting them an almost supernatural advantage in any race or pursuit.

However, the might of Lightning Sprint demands its due. The relentless consumption of mana, a continuous drain of 50 mana per second, taxes the user's magical reserves with unyielding intensity. No other skills can be used when this skill is active.]

[Cooldown: 1 hour and 50 minutes.]

[Speed increased By +200%, Current Speed 350%]

Luna crackled with blue lightning as her fur stood on end from the static electricity.

"See ya, loser," Luna taunted before vanishing from the academy grounds with blinding velocity, leaving her astonished peers in awe.

"Landon, did you see that? Because I certainly didn't. That girl left with such velocity that I don't think the Commoner kid can even catch up to her," Seraphina mocked Anon.

Landon, however, sensed that Anon, the Commoner kid, had something up his sleeve. As he observed Anon preparing to sprint, he felt a surge of anticipation.

"No, I have a feeling that this Commoner kid is planning something. Look, he's preparing to sprint as well," Landon spoke.

Everyone's eyes turned towards Anon as they observed him.

Anon crouched down and touched the ground with both hands, assuming a running stance.

<Phoenix Ignition>

As soon as Anon heard Luna's words, he activated another skill.

[Phoenix Ignition] [Berserk Class Exclusive Skill] [B-Rank]

[Phoenix Ignition, the fiery embodiment of relentless determination and indomitable spirit. This formidable skill engulfs the user in an infernal fire, transforming them into a blazing streak hurtling across the landscape. As the flames dance and flicker, the runner is consumed by an unyielding passion, propelling them forward with unparalleled speed and strength. Each step ignites the ground beneath their feet, leaving a trail of scorching embers in their wake. The searing flames envelop their body, emanating an aura of awe-inspiring intensity and igniting their very essence with the mythical creature's power, the phoenix. Boosts your speed by 500% until your stamina runs out.

However, such fiery power comes at a price. Harnessing the Phoenix Ignition demands a tremendous amount of stamina, exhausting the user's physical and mental reserves with each fiery stride. The flames that surround their body, while empowering, inflict searing heat upon the user, testing their endurance and resilience. The relentless consumption of stamina leaves the runner vulnerable to fatigue and potential burnout if sustained for too long.]

[Mental fatigue debuff neutralized due to <Cerebraxis> Class]

[Critical Alert: Stamina is decreasing at an incredible rate.]

[Skill <Stamina Boost> in effect.]

[You've tapped into the wild energies of mana around you, granting you infinite mana for 10 minutes.]

Numerous screens appeared in front of Anon as soon as he activated the skill.

"This is the perfect skill for a headstart, and to solve the stamina issue, I've activated the stamina boost skill. It taps into the wild energy reserves of mana around me, granting me infinite stamina for 10 minutes straight. After a 5-minute cooldown, I can use this combo again," Anon thought, chuckling.

As soon as Anon used the <Phoenix Ignition> skill, his entire body became engulfed in wild crimson flames.

"Wooooahhhh, look at that, Seraphina. That kid is no joke. He used his first skill, and he's already on fire," Landon exclaimed, surprised by Anon's display.

Zooom

Anon left the academy grounds with even greater speed than Luna, leaving a trail of fire behind him.

"Wow, that kid really is on fire. I think someone has come to challenge the nobles," Seraphina remarked, her voice filled with both surprise and excitement.

"Heh, that's just a flashy skill. I've read about it. It requires an immense amount of mana and is only good for short sprints. How is he going to sustain a long run like this with that skill?" Seti, scoffed, dismissing Anon's skill as a mere show-off as she casted a mocking smile towards letti.

But Letti, aware of Anon's true abilities, worried silently. She knew that using Phoenix Ignition would drain him of his mana quickly, and a long run like this would be a test of his endurance.

As she watched Luna running alone on the screen in front of her, Letti couldn't help but think, 'Fuck, Anon, why did you have to use that skill first? It will drain your mana dry.'

She also believed that the skill consumed too much mana and was only suitable for short sprints.

Little did they know, Anon had his own plans and was ready to defy expectations. The flames of determination burned brightly within him, propelling him forward on his path to challenge the nobles and win this race as he crushes their spirits entirely this time.
