552 Chase

'What now?' Khan wondered. He couldn't help but hesitate before that insane acceleration, but his thoughts soon wandered toward different topics.

Time slowed down in Khan's eyes. His gaze remained on the woods, but his senses conveyed the entirety of the symphony to his brain. He could feel the cameras buzzing in the sky and the attention his lack of movements had attracted. The [Hunt] had begun, but he was still at the hill's base.

'How much should I reveal?' Khan thought, even if the answer was already clear in his mind. 

The Thilku had spread rumors about Khan. Holding back might endanger that meeting and ruin possible future relationships. Besides, the still-burning grass told him he had to try his hardest for that game to be close.

'Help my legs,' Khan thought, heaving a sigh accompanied by a trace of his mana. The symphony listened to his request and sent energy toward his legs, allowing him to generate an inhumane sprint.
