Chapter 452: Measuring Other People's Corn by One's Own Bushel

"Alexander has won!" Sebastian cried in surprise.

From Sebastian's perspective, it wasn't surprising to see Alexander winning a competition. But it was beyond his imagination that Alexander had defeated Warton to win the race.

Was Warton too slow today? Thinking of that, Sebastian looked at the big scoreboard on the wall. 

It showed that Warton's score was 9.91 seconds, a pretty good score which could possibly get the gold medal in a race held by the International Association of Athletics Federations.

Warton was not slow, but he was defeated. Then, the only reason was that Alexander's score was great. Sebastian found Alexander's name on the scoreboard with his score beside it: 9.87 seconds.

A gap of 0.04 seconds was not enough for a blink and was too short to be felt by humans. But 0.04 seconds in the score of a sprint, especially in the score within 10 seconds, was a chasm.
