Out to Get Me
Ryu shot forward with blazing speed. As he moved, the world of white began to twist and warp as the golden runes around him grew more and more dense.
Just by perfecting his running form, he had gained at least a 10% addition to his speed. Whether it was the recruitment of his muscles to explode forth at once, or the stabilizing of his core in maintaining an upright posture, or the smooth transition from ground to forward momentum, the springyness of his calves and achilles up to the perpetual motion of his arms…
Everything was absolutely perfect. A running coach might shed a tear watching him, and the Heavens seemed to continuously praise him as a result.
BANG!
Ryu suddenly came to a halt, a large number of swirling Golden Runes spinning around him, layering upon one another in a complex formation and then suddenly sinking into his body.
