Chương 119: Second Test

Marcus took three steps in succession. He almost caught up to the girl, but taking those many steps at once pushed him down to one knee. He could barely get up. Once he got up though, he consolidated his position and was ready to take another step forward to match the girl.

The girl looked back and saw that Marcus had almost caught up to him. She decided to immediately take another step forward without any rest. She took a step forward and felt a huge burden on her body, but she kept going.

She took another step forward and suddenly realized that she had pushed herself too far. She was pushed back by the pressure and was falling to the ground.

A pair of hands caught her body while she was falling down. The hands gently dropped her to the ground. 

"You should be more careful," a calm voice said from behind her.

She looked back and saw a handsome boy with flowing black hair. His striking blue eyes seemed to look into her.
