//------------------------------// // Nothing Of Value Was Learnt That Day // Story: Life is A Test 2: Test Harder (Quite A Bit Harder) // by Brony_of_Brody //------------------------------// Rainbow, as the sole survivor of the duel, and thus the one that hasn't been covered in gum, cake batter and gingerbread, is forced to chew you free from the wall (and Old Fogey too I guess), and drag Black Bird to Canterlot for marenapping a national hero. She gets to now spend quality time in a dark, damp cold dungeon for years, and so she can now consider herself even for the first offense - assault - with candy destroying her house and an arrest. And no, she doesn't really understand the phrase 'disproportionate retribution'. Too many big words. She'll ask Twilight what it means later. However, she's spent a bit too much time away from practice with the Wonderbolts as a result of the feud, and Spitfire, her boss, has put Rainbow through her paces to make up for lost time by making her do several flying laps from the Academy to Canterlot Castle and back again, and she's not allowed a break - or to leave the Academy for paid holidays - until she can beat the Academy record. Thankful to you for delivering sweet, sweet justice/vengeance to Black Bird, she asks you for one teeny-tiny little piece of advice. She's been thinking about trying to beat the record through strategic use of wind. As a pegasus, she can of course manipulate the weather, and was thinking of setting up storm clouds to help push her along and increase her speed. The downside is that these storm clouds will only blow at a constant speed, and only in one direction, and she wants you to figure out how best to set the wind up so that she can beat the record early. How very devious-sounding. You wonder if Rainbow ever really needed your help the whole time - aside from commiting fraud purchasing Prism Poppers. You swear this job will be the death of you...but you digress. If Rainbow really wants to beat the record, how should the wind be blowing to best support her?
