381 So I can't fly, so what?

"Hey! Hey! Hey! You bastard, why aren't you slowing down!"

The smirk on my face widened. "Let's see what's sturdier, my bike or your barrier spell?!"

"Th-This insane fucker! He's insane!"

The cadet floating in the air before me panicked. His eyes darted frantically as he tried to think of a solution, but time was slipping away.

I was on the verge of ramming the front of my bike into his water shield any moment now. If his barrier shattered from the force of the collision, his ribs would break as well.

However, that wasn't the scary part.

If his barrier held, the speed at which my bike was about to clash with him would throw us both off balance, and we'd fall down to our deaths.

...Well, we wouldn't technically die, since there was nothing but ocean directly below us.

But, plummeting uncontrollably from this height was still terrifying.
