Chapter 99 Brothers (Thanks to the boss of ‘Huddled in Bed’ for the 10,000 reward)
The whistle sounded and the two started racing.
Dade has been following Oscar closely from the beginning, and the pace is exactly the same as that set by the latter.
Although his limbs were extremely tired and his body was on the verge of exhaustion, he knew that his competition with his brothers would continue, and he would not give up the victory even if he was exhausted. Oscar chances.
Neither of them encountered any trouble in the first lap of the training ground. Although their physical strength was on the verge of exhaustion before, they could still bear it for one or two laps.
But after the fourth lap, both children felt tired and their breathing became heavy.
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the training ground. Oscar, who was running, caught a glimpse of an Astartes appearing on the high platform of the training ground. He seemed to be attracted by their competition.
Noticing the iron halo behind the other person's head, Oscar realized who had appeared.
The current chapter leader of the Astral Knights Chapter and the pride of Somus Noble Academy, Lord Soshyan Alexey.
This discovery made his heart surge.
"Are you tired?"
Suddenly, Dade asked breathlessly.
“Not tired at all!”
Oscar replied while panting and started running the fifth lap.
He tried hard to control his breath, ignoring the burning feeling in his chest, and concentrated on maintaining the rhythm.
He only had one thought left now, he couldn't fall behind or succumb to the painful pressure!
Pain is an illusion of the senses, despair is an illusion of the soul.
Both are obstacles on the road to success.
With these words flashing through his mind, Oscar began to draw on his last reserves of strength.
Soon, he felt that his body became miraculously light, and his limbs were filled with power that came from unknown sources.
By the seventh lap, Oscar was already far ahead of his younger brother. The new strength allowed him to speed up and break the previous deadlock. The heavy breathing of Dade behind him made him even more energetic.
The gap between the two is getting wider and wider.
The eighth and ninth laps were completed in an instant. Oscar gradually felt the joy of victory. This feeling of victory made him extremely happy.
It looked like his brother was about to fail in his attempt to defeat him.
When Oscar was running the last lap, Dade was still running the eighth lap.
When he passed by his younger brother, he could have actually slapped his brother on the back to undermine his brother's confidence, but he didn't do it. He just squeezed out the last of his strength and rushed forward, widening the distance between the two. big.
“Oh shit——”
Dade watched in panic as his brother rushed towards the finish line.
Oscar turned his head and saw his brother's disbelief, and almost wanted to laugh out loud.
The next second, his feet crossed the white line on the ground.
"Ha-ha-"
After reaching the end, he immediately sat down on the ground, breathing air greedily and rubbing his thighs desperately.
When he saw Dade staggering across the finish line, he shouted:
"It's over, brother! Rest!"
But the other party shook his head, Keep running hard.
On the one hand, Oscar admired his unswerving determination from beginning to end, but on the other hand, he was a little disappointed with his proud stupidity.
Although there was no strength left in his whole body, Oscar still forced himself to do a few relaxing stretches so that his muscles would not spasm due to fatigue.
After all who knows when the Astartes will put them to the test.
As soon as Oscar finished his first set of moves, he saw Dade staggering over and then collapsed beside him.
His brother's chest kept rising and falling, and the sweat on his body came out like a flood.
"Your breathing rhythm is not good."
Oscar said, with a little reproach in his voice.
Dade shook his head, unable to answer for a while. Then Oscar extended his hand.
“Come on, you need to relax.”
However, Dade waved his hand, indicating that he could no longer move at all, and then closed his eyes and gasped for air.
Oscar could only kneel half on the ground and began to massage his brother's legs.
His fingers pressed hard against the muscles, as if they were kneading dough.
"It hurts, it hurts!"
Dade shouted.
"If not, it will hurt even more,"
Oscar continued to move, but Dud could only grit his teeth and endure it.
After a while, his breathing gradually became calmer, and his body began to relax from the tense state. Oscar's technique was indeed sophisticated.
Finally, Dud was able to sit up on his own and began to soothe his limbs while Oscar massaged his neck and shoulders.
At this time, Oscar noticed the expression of hurt pride on his brother's face, but he didn't say anything more. He just regretted that he had stimulated his brother too much in the competition just now.
But they are already men, no longer children. In order for them to become Astartes and angels, Dard must know how to face setbacks.
Both of them know each other and have faced this situation in the past, so the awkwardness won't last long.
Suddenly, Oscar heard heavy footsteps behind him. He turned around suddenly and saw an Astartes wearing gorgeous armor walking towards him.
"Child, you run very fast."
The majestic warrior asked:
"What's your name?"
"Oscar He-Man, my lord."
"Stand up while I answer my lord's question!"
Astartes Behind him, the principal of the college roared.
Dard and Oscar immediately stood up and looked at the Astartes.
His face was weather-beaten, but his eyes looked very young. Oscar didn't recognize any of the patterns on his armor, he just thought they looked like a brewing thunderstorm.
The warrior without a helmet has an iron halo behind his head and an impressive red sword on his waist.
"How did you win?"
While Oscar was looking at Astartes, Astartes was also looking at him.
"I...I just run faster."
"Yes."
Astartes nodded.
“But where does this power come from?”
“I don’t know, I just tap into my deeper potential, I...”
“Maybe. ”
The angel smiled noncommittally.
“But I think your strength should come from your desire to win and your desire to win.”
Dade took a breath, quite unwilling.
“Do you know who I am?”
Oscar glanced at his younger brother. He wanted to see if the other person was going to answer first. As expected, the other person said loudly under his gaze:
"Of course I know! You are the Chapter Master of the noble Astral Knights Chapter, the pride of Somus Noble Academy, the genius of Nathan IV that has not been seen in thousands of years, Lord Soshyan Alexey!"
< br>Soshyan smiled and shook his head.
"I don't have that many titles. More than thirty years ago, I was training here just like you."
As he said that, he gently put his hands on the two teenagers on the shoulders.
“I’m looking forward to your performance in the primary election in a week’s time.”
