Chapter 195
Even the camera operators by the roadside were dumbstruck. Quiana’s speed was so fast she seemed to vanish from the frame.
The girls who thought she was dumb for getting into a starting position were left speechless.
Further ahead, a few girls, panting heavily, trailed behind Lucy, cheering her on.
“200 yards to go. Lucy–looks like you’ll be the first!”
“I didn’t expect you to be such a great runner, Lucy!”
“Lucy, the first place gets priority–you’ve got to pick me!”
With Lucy’s talent, they hoped to share some of her spotlight by being on her team.
As they approached the camp entrance, Lucy, despite her shaking legs, was moving one step at a time. With everyone else left far behind, she would claim first.
“Hey, who’s that?”
“Whoa!”
Suddenly, startled gasps sounded behind them. Lucy frowned, about to look back, when she caught sight of a gray figure whizzing past, so fast it left a mere blur. It kicked up a gust of wind. In an instant, it disappeared around the street corner ahead.
“Seems like it was Quiana.”
“Running that fast–is she even human?”
“What the hell! She was way behind us a moment ago, right?”
The girls dragging along behind Lucy, hands on their knees and gasping, were left stunned, mouths open in disbelief. There in no way it was Quiana. She should still be half a mile back.
Lucy’s expression changed as she bit her lip, pushing through the pain to sprint with all her remaining strength. After rounding the corner, she had only 100 yards left.
Ahead, she could see the training camp entrance clearly then. That tall, gray figure stood out, sinking her spirits.
Getting closer, Lucy could see the figure more clearly–she had already been there for a while, one long leg stretched out against the wall, casually stretching, utterly unbothered. It was really Quiana.
‘How could that be? Lucy exclaimed inwardly. She could barely move her legs, but Quiana had somehow run so fast. Lucy’s face turned pale as she struggled to catch her breath, glaring in disbelief.
Steven, who had arrived earlier by bike, had watched Quiana run past with such speed she had left a mere blur on the camera. He, too, was stunned,
While everyone else was drenched in sweat, gasping for air, and slumped on the ground as if half–dead, there was Quiana— face unflushed, heart calm, not even panting.
She wasn’t even sweating, simply stretching her legs.
Still dazed, Steven asked, “Did you train regularly?”

Chapter 195
He hadn’t seen Quiana running around the training camp before.
Quiana stretched her wrist, smiling lazily, and replied, “I used to run marathons,”
“What?” Steven was dumbfounded. Sis miles is basically a quarter marathon. How much did she have to run to be so fast that even the cameras couldn’t keep up?‘ he wondered.
Not far away, Lacy finally came to a stop, her face pale as she gasped for breath, staring at Quiana
Quiana tilted her head with a faintly mischievous smile, still carefree. She said, “You’ll get used to it.”
It wasn’t that she couldn’t win–she just didn’t bother. But if she wanted to? The six miles was as easy as drinking water.
She had been trained for that, after all. Slow running would have gotten her eaten by a lion.
The others reached the finish line gradually
Viola finally caught her breath and congratulated Lury. “Congrats on getting first place, Lucy!” Jessica also looked at Lucy admiringly and complimented, “Lucy, you’re amazing!”
But Lucy’s face was dark, her voice low as she replied through clenched teeth. “I’m not first.”
“What?”
“If not you, then who else?”
The girls stared in confusion just as cheers erupted at the entrance.
Sofia, Wendy, and the others were surrounding Quiana, jumping up and down in excitement. “Quiana, you’re incredible!” Sofia cheered.
“You really took first place! Quiana, you’re awesome. I love you so much!” Wendy exclaimed.
