Chapter 1914 Promised Fulfilled
Chapter 1914 Promised Fulfilled
Today's sun hung high in the sky, casting a golden glow over the winding, treacherous course of the 'S-Z' race.
Strategically positioned around each path were large billboard styled surfaces that would project the livestream of their race being captured in real time by the many cameras stationed around. So even if an onlooker was just standing at the Start line area or along the many bends or points down the mountain, they will be able to watch the whole thing in real time. Wooooowwww~
The crowd's cheers were already deafening at this point, and echoed through the site as Retsu and Ichimaru stood at the starting line with boards poised for action.
Draymond from the Ramp Crushers, the opposition team, took his stance alongside his group too. And at this moment, the entire ace fell into collective silence, with no one even daring to breathe. Here it comes… here it comes…
The biggest race of the year was about to commence in… 3! "Ready…" The flag holder announced.
2… "Set…" 3… "Go!"
The wheels were launched forward, screeching against the asphalt with increasing momentum. [Ah! Retsu had taken the lead!!] The announcer was already excited, leaning forward and describing Retsu's fluid monuments that seemed like a breeze. Only when you try them yourself, will you know the difference between a person they crowned and Uncrowned King, and a normal pro. .
Damn! Retsu leaned into a sharp turn, executing a perfect power slide that sent a spray of sparks into the air. The already bubbling crowd went wild again, especially the ladies who got a cool smile from Retsu. However, despite Retsu's playful appearance, his eyes were extremely focused, calculating the best path through the maze of obstacles. Ichimaru followed close behind, displaying his snowboarding roots with a series of graceful, almost effortless maneuvers. He approached a steep drop, crouching low before launching into the air with a powerful ollie. Mid-flight, he grabbed the board's edge, performing an Indy Grab that left the spectators in awe.
"Too much! Too much! Lord Ichimaru is just too cool." "No wonder he is dubbed the wizard. I could have sworn I saw him flying just now!"
Retsu glanced back, a competitive grin spreading across his face. "Not bad Ichi, my rival! Although we're on the same side, you are, and will always be the one I want to surpass!"
With that, Retsu kicked off a series of rapid-fire kickflips, each one executed with pinpoint accuracy. The board spun beneath his feet, a blur of motion, before landing smoothly back on the ground.
Even more people say that Retsu was more skilled than Ichimaru, only he knew that Ichi was far superior to him in abilities. "Hey, hey, hey… you bastards! Don't you dare forget me, Draymond, captain of the Ramp Crushers!"
Not to be outdone, Draymond picked up speed, his eyes locked on a rail ahead. With a burst of energy, he leaped onto it, grinding along its length in a flawless 50-50 grind. The metal screeched under his weight, but he maintained perfect balance, his expression calm and focused.
"Awesome!" "Draymond isn't bad either, or else he wouldn't be dubbed the 4th best skater on the list." Several people also marveled at Draymond's execution. .
The race was just too exciting for many to bear. And as the skaters neared the final stretch, the course narrowed, forcing them to ride side by side. It was official, the end was near! Retsu's heart pounded in his chest with adrenaline surging through his veins. Time to move. He executed a daring hardflip, the board flipping and spinning beneath him before landing perfectly.
Draymond, who also sensed that the end was near, pushed himself to the limit. He launched into a breathtaking laser flip, the board spinning in a complex dance of motion. Time seemed to slow as he landed, the crowd erupting in cheers.
Who was it going to be? Who would be the one to cross the finish line first? Several people held their breaths when seeing the 3 go neck to neck, overtaking each other at every second. One second, Draymond was ahead. Another second, it was Retsu, and then Ichimaru.
"Go Retsu!"
"Go Ichi!"
"Go Draymond!" Fans cheated as loud as they could, wishing they could teleport themselves behind their idols and give them the busy they needed. This race was a close-neck one. And soon… Whoosh! [It's the Uncrowned King? The uncrowned King takes the victory!!]
Retsu, Retsu, Retsu… Retsu crossed the line first, followed by Draymond and then Ichi, who seems to have intentionally slowed down. 1, 2… Rahhh!!!
The cheers from the crowd were ear-shattering. Little Ren stayed back, watching his idol raise the trouble up in awe and determination to one day get a trophy of his own like this, for him and his team. …
Incredible n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The race was over, but the thrill of the competition lingered in the air, a testament to their incredible skills and unyielding spirit. This scene captured the excitement and intensity of a skateboarding race, highlighting the unique skills and styles of all skaters today. Little Ren knew that in the future he would be leaving Baymard for good to Morgany, but as if now, he was still very young and still had a long way to go before getting shipped off. Little Ren felt that no matter what, he must give his team a trophy before leaving them. After today's competitions, he and his friend went to grab a bite and talk about the crazy race they just watched live in the flesh. Soon, they separated, with Little Ren heading straight home, too exhausted to do anything else. But when he arrived, he saw a face he felt very familiar yet unfamiliar. It was a lady… the most beautiful woman he has ever seen in his life (in his opinion). Her smile was warm, and her eyes were a little moist and red. Little Ren didn't think he was a cry baby, and couldn't even recall the last time he ever cried… (probably at birth).
He wasn't a cry baby, yet seeing the ladies moistened eyes also made him feel wet too. What was going on here? Landon calmly placed both hands on Retsu's shoulders with a warm expression. "Little Ren, I've fulfilled that long-time promise I made with you…. Little Ren… May I introduce to you, your mother, the ex-Countess Yaya of the Abian Empire."
