"...!" The sound of an esper ability activating rang out.
An irresistible force surged forward, sending the two people in front of Chen Fan flying into those ahead of them. One collision after another followed, and everyone running ahead of Chen Fan fell to the ground with screams. Chen Fan and Himegami Akisa once again took the lead.
"Damn it! Everyone, attack! Let him see what we're made of! Even he might not be able to reflect all of our attacks!"
All kinds of light appeared in everyone's hands. "Whoosh, whoosh...!" They all shot toward Chen Fan.
"Idiots!" Chen Fan said with a smile at the corner of his mouth. These people were seriously underestimating him.
"...!"
All the attacks aimed at Chen Fan were reflected and fell before their attackers. "Boom, boom!!" Another chorus of wails erupted as Chen Fan and Himegami Akisa leisurely crossed the finish line, winning the three-legged race.
As they crossed the finish line, a smile finally appeared on Himegami Akisa's expressionless face. She had entered many athletic events today, but had come in last place every time. This was the first time she had placed—and it was first place. Although Chen Fan had helped by dealing with all the other competitors, she really had run the entire course herself.
Himegami Akisa excitedly hugged Chen Fan around the waist and said in her usual unhurried tone, "We won!" The smile on her face was so warm.
The big screen at the venue gave Himegami Akisa a close-up. Chen Fan was stunned by what he saw. It was not just Chen Fan; every audience member thought her smile was beautiful. The venue fell quiet for a moment before everyone began cheering for Chen Fan and Himegami Akisa. No one knew how many hearts had been moved
