12th Bi-Annual Motor Competition!
A small smile crept onto her face. She was in her element.
Kanna surveyed the area as she walked through the showroom area, her eyes moving from one motorcycle to the next. In her head she could easily identify the make, model, and the individual parts a bike had, without having to look at the information sheets that are usually nearby. There was a healthy mix of bikes made within Amestria and exotic models that were made out of the country, on display for everyone to see.
Truth be told, the only reason she came to the Bi-Annual Motor Competition was because she was invited. While the organizers of the event did invite her due to Kanna's street-racing fame within the East District, she declined. The invite she accepted instead was from a friend, Yong-Yut. In previous years, Kanna only kept track of the event through social media and any small mentions through news stations. This was her first time actually attending it. And participating in it, as denoted by the special badge hanging around her neck on a lanyard.
Kanna glanced at the time on her phone, then opened her messages. The last text she got from Yong-Yut was a few minutes ago saying she was on her way. Her fingers danced around on the keyboard, sending her a message before pocketing the phone.
"I'll be in the pit garages. We can meet up there.”
She headed for one of the side exits of the convention center, navigating the sea of people and various booths that were outside. It didn’t take long for her to arrive at the special garages that were set up for competition participants.
She flashed her badge to the security by the entrance, who allowed her through. As she walked, Kanna glanced into some of the other pits to see what rides people brought. Some were more serious than others, with an entire team of people backing the racer. Then there were those that did this as a hobby and signed up to race just for the fun of it, as denoted by their more simple setups with a single toolbox, themselves and their bike.
Kanna was more of the same, bringing only what she needed for today. A couple of tool boxes that were mounted on wheels, her bike jack, and the bike itself, which was currently raised up by said jack.
A recent addition to her collection of various vehicles, this one she bought legitimately, as compared to her other rides that were won through various races. Her hand gently ran over the carbon fiber body panels, the light reflecting off the metallic red paint. Since buying it, Kanna had made her own modifications to it, including switching out the plastic body panels for the aforementioned carbon fiber panels, a better engine, and added two more gears, just to name a few. Practically nothing on the bike was stock, either pre-made custom parts or stuff Kanna made back at her personal garage.
Her phone began to ring. Kanna didnt need to look at the caller ID to know who it was. Her finger tapped the answer button, putting the call on speaker as she set the phone on top of one of the tool boxes.
"So, anything I need to be worried about?"
The voice of her twin came out from the phone.
"Aside from the sort of cheating thats expected from races, no, everything looks normal. Of course, I'll be around should you need any help."
Kanna nodded. She pulled open a drawer, taking out a laptop and set it down next to the phone, cracking it open and powering it on. She brought it over the bike, setting it down on the seat while waiting for it to finish booting. Once the computer was ready, Kanna plugged in a cable into it, connecting the other end to a small port on her bike, hidden away at the back of the handlebar assembly. Suddenly, multiple windows appeared on the computer screen, showing a wide variety of diagnostic data and control panels. Kanna pressed a couple keys, and suddenly the bike roared to life, simmering down as the engine got up to idle speed.
"Can you run a couple more tests on the transmission? I changed it last minute and I'm still not convinced its switching in time. I need to wait for Yong outside."
"Sure."
Kanna stepped away from her bike, as it began to rev, engaging its drive gear. The rear wheel began to spin as the bike remained suspended in the air, looking like it was being controlled by a ghost.
In the meantime, Kanna stood outside her pit, leaning against the bit of wall separating her pit from the one next door. Her eyes scanned around, waiting for Yong to arrive.
