All right, so the two racers get in their cars and line up for the start. However, I see Samui very shocked.... why?
Takuma: "Something wrong, Samui?"
Samui: "Umm....."
Takuma: "What is it?"
Samui: "I see Nobu-senpai... at the passenger seat."
Takuma: "What? Maybe you're just hungry."
I just don't believe in supernatural stuff. I have to see to believe.
Samui: "Nobu-senpai is showing a thumbs up at me..."
And they're off. Samui, are you freaking me out?
Takanori: "Whoa... that S2000 is a rocket off the line!"
Shinji: "You think that a puny Lotus Elise can keep up? My S2000 has over 600 horsepower! And with all these aerodynamic aids will help me tear through the corners at the track!"
Takanori: "Though I might have miscalculated. Hehehehe...
But there is a reason why I chose the Touge. I made a little background check on you."
Takanori: "Huh? Why are my arms moving faster? It's like a force controlling me!"
Shinji: "That's odd.... why are you still behind me? At this rate, you should be way behind!"
Takanori: "And so does my foot movements... What on earth is going on?"
Takanori: "The 2nd half of the downhill will start."
Takanori: "I don't know what's going on, but I have faster reflexes!"
And then Takanori starts to sing.
Blast my desire, break off the barrier
nemutta yume wo tataki okoshte
Blast my desire, stronger than fire
jidai wo furuwasete Risky tune
Takanori: "I usually sing when races get serious. But that song... just popped in my head. I never that sang that one..."
Blast my desire, break off the barrier
nemutta yume wo tataki okoshte
Blast my desire, stronger than fire
jidai wo furuwasete Risky tune
Blast my desire
Blast my desire

At the summit, Sasori approaches Samui and Takuma, with the latter talking at his smartphone.
Takuma: "Is that so? I see..."
Samui: "What's happening?"
Takuma: "The S2000 sets a gap from the Elise. I don't know what is running on Takanori's head, but he must do something right now. The race will end pretty soon."
Sasori: "Shinji's S2000 has lots of power so that he can tear up the track with ease."
Samui: "Sensei?"
Sasori: "But I guess there is a reason why Takanori-kun chose the Touge."
Samui: "Good afternoon, Sensei..."
Sasori: "Can we have a talk? Oh, let's have a drive."
Takuma: "Go ahead. I think it's important."
So the teacher and the student set off.
Sasori: "You must be really talented. Not only you're good in tennis, but in racing as well."
Sasori: "And I like your NSX."
Samui: "Ichishima-san acts like a father figure to me. Not only he tuned this NSX, but also he taught me how to race."
Sasori: "Seeing that you are a Kanonji, he foresees that you will be a professional racer in the future, huh?"
Samui: "Sensei, right now, I'm rather troubled. I'm torn to choose between tennis and racing."
Sasori: "You should explore. You have to try something new. I have a friend who needs a teammate right now in the upcoming Super GT. I'll contact him. That will be your opportunity."
Samui: "I'll think about it. Please give me time to think."
Sasori: "No problem."
