Chapter 221
The tires screeched against the asphalt as I lost traction, sliding sideways in a violent arc. The world blurred around me, and for a moment, all I could hear was the mocking laughter echoing in my ears.
"Hahaha! Loser!" one rider jeered, his voice dripping with contempt.
"Just give up, softie!" another taunted, their words cutting sharper than the magic that had hit me.
"You’re not meant for this!" came the harsh, pointed remark from a third, echoing through the chaos.
As my motorcycle finally toppled beneath me, I hit the ground hard, the impact jarring through my body. For a moment, the world spun around me, and the jeers echoed in my ears. Gritting my teeth, I pushed myself up as I swung my leg over my motorcycle and kicked it back into gear. Sparks flew as the engine roared to life beneath me, and I shot forward again, faster than before.
One by one, I surged ahead, leaving the taunting riders in my dust. My focus sharpened as I shifted from defense to offense instead. I didn’t bother creating shields since I already have my spectral seal in the first place.
The wind whipped past as I navigated the treacherous course, my eyes locked on the finish line. The roar of my engine drowned out the mocking jeers behind me, replaced by the pounding of my heartbeat.
With one final surge, I accelerated harder, muscles tense and eyes burning with determination. The crowd blurred into insignificance as I crossed the finish line—first place.
Alex’s voice echoed proudly through the large speakers as he announced, "The winner is Remillia Lockhart!"
The crowd erupted into thunderous applause and cheers, their excitement reverberating through the stadium. The other riders glared at me with disdain.
Alex stepped forward, smiling broadly. "Congratulations, Remillia! Please come up here on stage and claim your well-deserved prize!" His voice was warm and inviting.
As I stepped onto the stage, I felt Karlos lean in slightly, his voice a low whisper just for me. "Can you take off your helmet for the photo taking?" he asked softly.
