All Year Three students walked toward the speed platform—a straight enchanted path stretching the length of the arena, flanked by hovering rune-stones.
Each participant would run individually. The stones would record speed, acceleration, and flow of essence while in motion.
From Thornevale, a tall girl with stormy blue robes stepped forward first. She blasted forward with wind magic under her feet, finishing in good time. Mild applause followed.
One by one, the students took their turns.
Then it was time for ElderGlow's group. Damon's group.
He grinned as he looked at the path before him. "I'm going first." He said to his other teammates.
"Don't fail us." Daveon stated, clapping hands with Damon as he walked forward.
He stepped onto the platform, closed his eyes for one second… and ran.
No magic. No enhancements.
Only his natural movement and refined body technique.
