(Continuation)

MAZRIETH'S POV

When Steven the Blacksmith swings his arm with the black flag on it, the race has finally begun... Lowering the flag downwards signaled the contestants; everyone preceded running from due north direction from the arena and reaching the beach located at the south side of Krell and return back to the arena within the south path...

"Looks like I'm the one who leads to the finish line..." Ivory sang about winning the Semi-Final, "And I know if I'm the winner, everyone will know my name..."

I find myself irritated by that song, "Hey... Will you stop singing?? Your voice is very noisy to my ears..." So, I'd tell her to stop.

"I don't care if you're the one who win in this training but I'll hope that due to your reckless, you've been leaving behind banging down from a tree..."

She quickly gets her response from my words, "Oh yeah? I wished that you might be bumped yourself to the tree..."

Suddenly, when Ivory grabbed my shoulder...she pulled me away; letting me fell out backwards to the ground and steals my running position...

"Haha... See you at the finish line, stupid!!" She laughed continuously.

"He—hey... How dare you, you Thor cheat head!!?" I yelled out angrily. "Come back, here!!"

Few seconds then, I stood up and continue running...

"Looks like Mazrieth Hunter had left behind and Ivory continues to run as fast as she can to reach the first stage..." Steven announces while watching them.

"Ivory is really cheated one, eh?? That's really unfair to Mazrieth, Dad..." Shianne watched the race.

Camicazi was seen following their tracks in the race and observed them including her respected friend. "Maz... I'll know that you can do it..."

Ivory and the others suddenly stopped on foot as they finally arrived at the Storage House. I was left behind on the race and right now...

HUFF... HUFF... I finally reached the first stage...

"Ivory and the others managed to survive the first stage and everybody except Mazrieth gets their flag... Ivory gets her first green flag, Jaden has one blue flag, and Raven has one yellow flag... All the individuals had their scores on the list... However Mazrieth Hunter, she has no points yet and she lastly appeared on the storage room...and looks like she's alone... For now..."

"Tsk!! He really entertains his audience..." I talked about Steven the Blacksmith.

When I arrived and hold the doorknob to open... I was surprised that the food storage was empty... But, I see food stocks and baskets that have apples are there in between me and the road where I should go... Until, I found something that in the back door of the storage room has a pole and there's a red flag on it...

"My flag is in that post, eh??"

I walked slowly and quietly...but suddenly, when I stepped my foot on the next wood...I've felt something strange as I stomped my feet and pushes down....

"Huh??" I moved back slowly from that... "Hmm... It looks like a switch..." And then, I hear some noise...

"A switch... Wait, did I just--??"
