"Eh, the Mountain of Light, my parents dreamed of going there..." Light Racer muttered as he lowered his head.
Gloria was embarrassed. She knew that Light Racer's parents had died in an accident a few years ago, so it was a turning point in his life, after which he practically stopped training.
"Hey, this might be pretty rough, but you've got to stop concentrating on that! You used to do pretty well, so you just need to pull yourself together! What's more, I'm sure your parents would be happy if you could make it to the Mountain of Light!" Gloria exclaimed as she clenched her hand into a fist.
"Okay. Maybe I'll come next time, but don't be too hard on me." Light Racer smiled.
"Great! With that fighting spirit, you'll definitely be able to catch up quickly!" Gloria exclaimed with a proud look.
"Okay, see you then." The Light Racer said, tossing a stump of apple to Gloria and jumping down.
