She had no time to waste. Vale took one look at her scroll, aimed herself in the right direction, then burst into a frenzied sprint. One minute she said, sixty precious seconds before the drug took effect. She aimed to cover as much ground as possible before that, making full use of her strength while she could.

Every resource was devoted to those sixty seconds, semblance, Dust, faunus instinct, everything! she poured on the speed, straining herself to the breaking point. Vale actually covered 25% of the distance before slowing to a jog. The drug was finally working, and her reserves were spent. Every step from here on would be painful, sluggish, back breaking agony.

Laura took the run at a more "relaxed" pace. Relaxed meaning forced to trudge along slowly with no help at all, while her strength slowly ebbed away. Fifteen minutes in, she couldn't take it any more and doubled over in the street, unceremoniously losing her breakfast.

Wish i hadn't eaten so much during Sloth... she thought, wiping her mouth with the back of her hand. While retrospecting, a mental lightbulb flipped on in Laura's mind. I wonder...

She focused her aura, enveloping her body in a green glow for an instant. Then the pain was gone! She felt refreshed and cleansed, apparently her semblance could neutralize the drug and it's effects. Unhindered any more, she continued jogging down the route.

Another ten minutes in, and the pain was back. Laura had to Heal herself again to numb it. ''Okay, so the semblance cure is only temporary...no problem. ''She just had to keep healing herself as she ran. She prayed that her aura could hold up until her journey ended.
