What's up, everyone? Enjoying your midterms? No? I thought not.

Lucky for those of you taking my class, I happen to be feeling generous. Take note, people. This is a once in a term event here!

I'd like to offer you unlucky souls a deal. See, I've been trying to get a little fitter over the past few months. Can't use magic to solve every problem you have, right? Right! I want to see how much progress I made.

That's where you come in.

You beat me in a race? You get an A on your midterm! I'll even put it in writing so you have a paper trail. The only thing I ask is that I get to pick the time. I'm a busy man, you know.

Feel free to ask any questions you want. And don't feel put out just because you don't see any replies. I'm screening all comments in order to protect my students' previous privacy.

((Please see the OOC post here!))

I WOULD LIKE TO PROPOSE A RACE
TO SEE WHO CAN READ THE FINE PRINT OF A CONTRACT
[OF MY CHOOSING! NO MEMORIZING IT FIRST!]
ALOUD THE FASTEST!
IS THIS AN ACCEPTABLE RACE?

Avery if you wish to train there is a fairly extensive gymnasium on our campus that you can use without compromising your grading ethics.

Assuming you have any.

Did someone say-a race!?

[ Mario you don't do midterms.

He just loves racing.

No mercy racing. ]

Any race at all?

[...Still not sure how this has anything to do with the class itself. Was that even allowed?]

fine, i'll bite

1k race on academy grounds

straight line, across even terrain

start point is this line (insert precise latitude/longitude coordinates defining a a 10-meter line on Daybreak Grounds here) end point is this line (insert another two coordinates defining a 10-meter line precisely a kilometer away)

neither participant can use magecraft, contracted powers or any powers of daemonic origin, fae magic, blight, flame, innate powers, or runic inscription while the race is ongoing

participants can neither physically or magically interfere with one another or the defined course, which is the area between both the start line and the end line, through and up to 1 kilometer above that area

to win, the participants must first cross the starting line, then the finish line

non-participants can't interfere with the race by any means

these terms will be printed and signed by both participants, then bound by contract magic to ensure good faith

sound good?

[ This sounds way too good to be true. Videl's inherently suspicious nature has been working to her advantage in Avery's class so far, even though she's a month behind her peers. ]

okay, so whats the catch?
