After four hours of running hard, I signal for Bestia to stop. Then I pick her up and drape her over my shoulder.

"This wasn't part of the plan you outlined today!"

"I knew you would say no, so I didn't mention it".

You know that I am literally incapable of disobeying your orders, right?"

"Rather not use that power if I don't have too. Do you remember the main parts of the plan?"

"You will convince whoever is in charge to let us join the campaign. I secretly poison the food and drink, you will lock the space so that space magic can't be used in the immediate vicinity. Then after they discover that, offer to join the frontal assault squad and kill them all. Also, repeat verbally whatever you tell me to repeat via telepathy magic".

"Perfect. I'll open the space telepathic channel now. So don't speak, alright? I don't want you to bite your tongue. I'm about to go all out to get there in time". Then I run with some speed, activating the long sprint skill I have as well.

<Wait, wAiT, WAIT!!! TTOOO FFAsSTTT!!!>

<How does your mental thought projection sound choppy? It shouldn't be affected by physical movement>

<hOW FFasT caaN YOU GO!>

<Your thought projection is getting less choppy. Good improvement. Keep it up>

<NOW IS NOT THE TIME FOR THAT!!>

<Well, I ran slower so that you could get use to it. Seems like your used to it now>

<Not true!>

<Mental thought projection is already normal. Let's kick it up a notch>

<Please not another notch> I start running at full speed. <At least you can't go any faster>

<No, I can go faster>

<How, I can see your legs. Your muscles are working full time>

<Well, speed is based on agility. Long Sprint Skill raises your speed by 10% of your stats for a long time. What if I cast a Physical Stat Boost Magic Skill on myself. Kick it up another notch!> I speed up even more.

<Well, at least you can't go any faster. That magic skill has a limit of one active per person>

<You must be getting tired of being wrong. The second auto cast I placed on you. Hold on tight!> I speed up in bursts.

<How are you doing this?>

<Your smarter than most humans on this planet. Think about it>

<Wait, you said Long Sprint Skill, so Short Sprint Skill?>

<Very good! While Short Sprint Skill lasts shorter, it boosts speed by 35% of your Agility Stat. At this rate, we should get there maybe in an hour?>

<How about we get there in two hours?>

<No>

<Hour and a half>

<Still no>

"Why" <oww>

<You just bit your tongue didn't you?>

<Yesh>

<Again, the physical shouldn't effect mental though projection> We got there a little before an hour, like I thought we would. And the plan goes sideways immediately.

"David, is that you?"

"Hey Amelia, I'd recognize your skin tone anywhere". The day finally came. Two different adventurer identities are seen by two different people. Panic time?
