500th Time Reborn, A World Only Known By Women: The Karma System

Chapter 136 Street Racing



"What is wrong with the two of you?!" I exclaimed as I got up, and Senna just smirked.

These women were just treating this girl like she was a rabbit they were releasing for me to chase around a track!

"I know you are much stronger and faster than me, but catching this girl isn't just about those things. You will see!" Senna laughed as she wiped the sweat from her brow.

"You know what will be good?! Seraphina and I can take you all up to a cloud, and we can watch from there!" Breya exclaimed like a little girl discovering ice cream for the first time, clasping her hands together.

Then I felt the whoosh of a portal opening, and I turned to find Tallia and Goldy.

"What is going on?! What are you two doing here?!" I demanded, and they both looked at me blankly.

"To watch you, of course. I heard that you made an accusation about being better at something, and now you have to put your money where your mouth is. I also heard there was some cake to test out, so I brought Goldy along," Tallia explained like this was normal, and everyone was just showing up to watch a race.

"Hi!" Goldy said, waving at me with a bright smile that cracked my frown a bit.

"Seriously? How many people know about this?!" I asked in dismay.

"More than likely most of Bramma by now, Tramin is probably only hearing about it now. I don't think the other island knows yet, except for Goldy's people. What are the odds right now, Goldy?" Eliza asked, looking around me.

"Best ones are three to one odds between one hour and forty-five minutes to two hours. Seven to one on between one forty and forty-five, and fifteen to one on one forty-five on the dot!" Goldy announced, and my jaw dropped.

"You already have a betting system setup for this?!" I exclaimed in shock.

"Yes, and you are putting my money at risk! You had better get going!" Goldy said, shaking a little finger at me with her other hand on her hip.

This was insane.

I just wanted to sit down and relax, but I had opened my big mouth, but I had never expected it to turn into a spectacle. That was like an impromptu street race where everyone was showing up to watch late at night and make bets.

This was crazy, but I kind of liked the vibe because everyone seemed to get really excited about this. They must not get something like this very often, but I didn't plan on taking almost two hours.

"Fine, let's get this show on the road! Don't blame me if I catch her fast!" I laughed, but Senna put up her hand.

"No magic or wings. Anything else is fine," Senna said, and I rolled my eyes, but that was fair.

"Sure, Sure. Now, how do I find Skylar?" I asked as I stretched out a bit.

"She is watching you from around the corner of the manor to your left," Senna said, and I turned to see the big blue curls and glowing green eyes. At least that made her stand out.

Now it was time to end this faster than it all started.

I coiled my muscles and then launched forward, sprinting to where Skylar was. When I got there, she was nowhere to be found in sight. Then I saw her face peek around from the front of the house.

I burst forward again, but then she was peeking around the gate, twice the distance that I had just traveled.

"What the hell is going on here?!" I asked out loud in confusion.

[All Royal children are blessed with increased abilities. Skylar is no exception. While she is not physically strong at all, she makes up for that with her speed and her cunning. Skylar is Legendary among her sisters with the Fae at evading chores when her mother would demand it of her.] Xieus explained, and I groaned.

,m "How did Senna catch her then?!" I complained.

[Senna is much more capable than she looks. There are not a lot of women in the world with strength like Listenia's unless they are an Amazon or High Elf. For a woman in Senna's line of work to get her job, she would have to be very resourceful. I think this is a lesson for you from all the girls. You shouldn't always judge a person by their physical strengths.] Xieus explained, and I sighed, knowing that she was right.

Still, I had made this bed, and now I was going to have to lie in it, or in this case, chase after it.

I was about to take off, and this time I was really going to turn it up but then stopped. I had just laughed at Senna breaking two windows. If I started running around at subsonic speeds, there was a very good chance that I might break all the windows in town. Then I would be stuck trying to work off the debt for the damages.

I was going to have to think of a better way to catch this girl, but how was the question? Skylar was still over by the gate, peering around the corner.

You would think after being kidnapped, she would be keen to run away, but Skylar just waited and watched me. I couldn't really decide if this was a good thing or a bad thing.

It was good because that meant she didn't mind getting kidnapped, but it was bad because she didn't mind getting kidnapped. The fact that she stayed around made it feel like a normal thing, and this was more like a game for her.

"I am sorry for pointing at you before," I called over.

"Why are you chasing me?" Skylar asked, and I had no answer. She replied with, "I just want to talk to you."

Then she ran away again. This was going to be a long night.
