Chapter Seven : The First Test

Jake looked to his right, and a cute smiling face with black hair and strands of purple winked at him. She looked familiar, but he just couldn't tell from where or when. Just as he was about to ask if he knew her, she spoke.

"You know I waited for you all through that day, the next and up till now?"

"We agreed that after seeing our results, we would text each other back but you never did".

"You were with the boys, weren't you ?"

"...And you didn't even call since then, its been more than a month if not more !"

She threw a barrage of questions at him, with no opportunity to reply, and a lot of emotional faces accompanying each sentence. She settled with a pout as she stared into his eyes, passing a quick message, that she was ready to listen to his words. All this while, they were still running, not as fast as before as they both dropped in speed and matched each other pace.

"Sorry, do I know you?"

Jack asked with a perplexed but straight face.

She grew red just for a second before lunging at him, tackling him to the ground.

"Wrong answer! " She yelled as she held unto him firmly, her shoulder against his abdomen as they both headed for the ground.

"Watch it cray cray!" a boy yelled as he was almost dropped to the floor by their physical scuffel.

"Hey! are you even listening to me ?" the brown haired cutie cried out again, as this time she was able to get his attention. Jake stared at her confused and wondered how he ever ended up here, him on the floor and she on top of him. Heck! he didn't owe her a dime to be in this situation. With panic, he remembered the task at hand; the last person. He needed to do something. Normally he attempted to push her away, but she wasn't budging.

'Not bad, she's pretty strong. I wish I could see her physical Stats. But that Talent Rank has been scratching the back of mind. I guess the other way might work then'.

"Hey cutie" He said, teasing her a little bit.

She blushed and looked away, as other students gave them weird looks wondering if they were too dumb to know that now is not the time for frivolous act.

'Wait a second, what if Jake, the real Jake who choked to his death had a relationship with her'.

'Relationship? girlfriend?, hope he hasn't promised to marry her.

"Do you want us to be the last person"

He could see a change in her facial expression, with a smirk on his face he knew she had no choice than to stand up. With a pout she got up from him and offered him a hand. Gratefully, he took it as they both dusted themselves and began to walk forward.

"You didn't seem like you missed me , it's more like you have forgotten me ?"

She stared at him with longing as an insatiable desire seeped out of her.

'Such emotions of possessiveness, the desire to own me, I have to run away!' He thought as he stared at her warily, wondering where she came out from.

"What are you hiding from me Jake" she grabbed his hand and held unto it as they began to walk forward. At the moment only very few students were behind them, the majority up ahead in their bid to not being the last.

"You know you can always tell me anything, it's no good keeping secrets from mommy" with a glint in her eye, she pulled herself closer to him and wrapped her long slender arms around his neck. The bells in Jake head went off.

'Okay Jake, time to run away Jake. My boy you have to leave man, she crazy boy! '. A tiny being in white cape with a golden ring floating above his head shouted.

'Nah, you don't want to do that Jake. Savor the feeling of her soft titties pressing into you, her flowery scent Jake, drink it all up. A tiny being with a wide grin on its face burning in flames of desire egged his manly desires.

Picking the former over the latter like a prey trying to survive on instinct, Jake dropped to his knees, to a crouching position and took off.

He could hear her crazy laughter behind as she shouted :

" I love the game CATCH MY LOVER too!"

'Ability activate'.

VOOM!

His speed increased dramatically as he overtook some students instantly and his figure gradually decreasing in size before her.

"Not too fast my boy" she said as she licked her lips sensually.

"It seems you are hiding a lot of things from mommy"

With a wide smile and looking up into the sky, she screamed before making her own move.

"And now mommy is curious boy!"

With that she took off, raising dusts in the process, amidst the screams of affected students.

"Speedster, huh ? let's get this task done before that girl meets up with me".

'It seems the former Jake had a taste for crazies. The least he could have done was to pass down that memory too; not only just his manner of death' .

Jake contemplated within him as he brushed his brow of the trickling sweat.

Looking at his communicator, he could see he was already half way through, thanks to the copied ability. He estimated that he should be there in less than five minutes. He fell into thought about the girl earlier on.

'It seems this previous guy never liked the idea of peace of mind'.

"Miss me ?"

Her voice broke his thoughts as he looked back, seeing that she was right behind him.

'How did she get here fast ?, oh well, its her ability'

Stretching out her hand to grab unto him as Jake concentrated to run faster.

"Not so fast baby boy" she said as her hand held unto the helm of his shirt, but just for a moment before he shot forward like a rail gun.

She grabbed at air as he disappeared from her grasps.

"What the fuck ?"

Speechless, she couldn't believe what just happened.

Meanwhile, moving at such speed for the first time in his life, he managed to stay on track and tried not to crash into those infront of him as he ran through. Ava was really making him to be using his new found powers earlier than he wanted to. All he had in mind was to test it cautiously and anticipate the result, and not to use it and hope its doesn't go haywire.

Seeing that he couldn't outmatch her speed and she catching up to him in a matter of seconds, he realized that his Speedster ability was in conjunction to his talent. So in order words one Talent can limit the usage or range of your ability. Her being a D Ranked Speedster meant she was faster than him.

Quickly he came up with a brilliant plan, and that was to use the C Talent Rank he Copied before to replace his F talent rank. With that been done he's speed increased dramatically as he got a boost in power and was able to pull off that last minute stunt.

But deep down he knew she seemed faster than a regular D Talent Rank speedster. Was it because of the A ?
