Race of Ages! Pt. 2

And the first event has come to an end. Harper just barely manages to squeeze into the next round, and now, it's time for our students to pair up. But who's gonna whose partners? You'll find out shortly. And, we got a glimpse at one of our other international schools top students. Trini from Queen's Strong, or the England school if you got confused, will make her presence known in the future. Just as the other top student from the Russian school will as well. My, will this festival be incredible. So many great moments, from the second half of the race to just the first match of the big bracket. It's gonna blow you all away. Now, let's get right back into the action! Enjoy!

-POV: Harper-

"And the first event has officially come to an end!!! All 120 students gave it their all, but as we said before, only the top 60 will advance to the second round!!" Present Mic announced as the crowd cheered with him. 

"That's right, Mic. Each and every one of these students poured their heart and soul into the first race and showed us what they can do. But only the toughest, quickest, and strongest have moved on! And I cannot wait to see what our remaining competitors can do!" All Might spoke as I was sitting on the ground in the middle of the arena along with all the other students who were still in the game. About half of my class my was still here, plus a handful of class 2 members. There was a bunch of U.A students still going, plus a bunch of Russian and British students as well. There was a good mix of all of us. 

"Made it in by the skin of your teeth, eh? Nice job." Phobos said to me as he walked over to me and helped me stand up. 

"You have no idea how relieved I was to hear I just made it in. But at the same time, I was so frightened when I heard I got 55th place. Where'd you end up?" I asked him as he scratched the back of his head. 

"Well, i'm no Josh, but I ended up making 12th place, 3rd best in our class." Phobos explained to me. 

"Damn, nice work, buddy! Making me look like an amateur!" I said as I gave him a little nudge on the arm. 

"Josh actually ended up getting first, which wasn't really surprising considering how far ahead he got at the start. Lisa finished just ahead of me, getting 9th place, I think?" He explained to me as I was less impressed about that. Didn't really care much about Lisa or how well she did. 

"Did you really have to tell me about her? She's my arch-nemesis, don't tell me that." I said to Phobos as he just laughed a bit. 

"Sorry, figured you wouldn't mind. Anyways, i'm gonna go talk to some of our other classmates and maybe some class 2 students. See ya in the next event!" Phobos said as he went off to find other students. But what he said struck me curious. 

"He said he'd see me in the next event, but he didn't offer if we wanted to team up? Does he already have someone planned to be his partner?" I thought as Present Mic came back on the jumbo screen again. 

"Let's take a quick look at who to keep an eye on during the next event! Here's the top 5 from round 1! Finishing in first place, from Persevering Heights academy, Josh Masterson expertly blew through all obstacles to make it an easy victory! Following closely behind in second and third place was U.A sports festival champion, top student, and favourite to win this tournament, Tenshonoma Cryshiki and classmate Kyoka Jiro! After them, in fourth place, the top student of Gregorvsky Alpha, Sergei Bolochov destroyed the course in a display of raw power!! And then just behind him, the speed demon with engines in his calves, also from U.A, it's Tenya Iida!!" Present Mic explained as all five students were displayed on the screen. 

"It's all people who got an early head start at the beginning.... I wonder if the result will be the same during the next part of the race?" I questioned.
