Since Rhode's rocket car had already exploded, the red energy crystal he had won had gone up in smoke along with it.
So he had effectively won nothing!
That meant... he could only set his sights on the other race car.

First, he used Magic Materials Smelting to refine the magic materials.
This first step alone was
