When the person you adore is competing with the person you like, which side should you support?
Diamond could not empathize with the cheering atmosphere in the stadium. He had not fully integrated into the world of heroes, so he could not understand why the sports festival was so grand.
So far, everyone in the school had performed outstandingly, but he was just watching the fun. It did not make much difference to him who won or lost.
But the situation between Explode and Li Ri was a little different.
Listening to the announcement of the battle between Explode and Li Ri, Diamond was so conflicted that he could not make a decision. He raised his hand, tilted his head, covered his eyes, and fell back. He fell asleep on the back of his seat.
He was pretending.
The eyes under his palms were closed tightly, trying to convince himself that the ignorant were fearless. His exposed ears understood the situation perfectly through the commentator. Fortunately, everyone was watching the game carefully and did not notice Diamond's abnormality, so he could continue to pretend to be dead.
As a result, he missed the blood-red gaze from the center of the arena from afar.
In the arena, Bao Hao retracted his gaze and looked at his opponent expressionlessly.
Diamond, who had covered his eyes and pretended to be dead, actually fell asleep in the noise. When he was awakened by the loud condemnation, Explode had won.
The gem man, who had not dreamed for a long time, entered a dream.
He dreamed that he had become a jellyfish and fell in love with the brightest sun in the sky. The little jellyfish slowly emerged from the deep sea, but the sun gradually sank into the horizon. No matter how hard he chased, he could not catch up with the sun.
It was impossible …
The jellyfish did not understand that the sun in the sky did not really sink into the sea.
The sky and the sea were farther apart than what he could see …
The jellyfish, who had been chasing blindly, did not notice the hidden danger in the strange sea. He was swallowed by the bloody mouth that had been waiting behind him for a long time.
The dream came to an abrupt end.
A strong sense of weightlessness hit him, and the gem man woke up with a jolt of electricity.
Standing at a high vantage point, he stared blankly at the arena and happened to meet the eyes of the golden-haired youth who had just left the arena.
Diamond, who was still immersed in the dream, could barely form words. He looked at the other party's futile attempts to pull the corners of his mouth, and in the end, he could only laugh.
— — Congratulations.
Even though they couldn't resonate with the excited crowd, they couldn't help but feel joy from the bottom of their hearts when they saw the young man's tall and straight figure.
It wasn't until the young man turned around and left that he slowly sat down.
The competition immediately entered a new round. Cheers rose and fell one after another. Diamond fiddled with his fingers as his mind wandered, imagining how the Sports Festival would end with a triumphant look on the faces of the tycoons.
It was as if he was certain that the other party would get first place.
"I wonder if Katsuji Jun will come here …" After a long time, Diamond found his voice and muttered to himself.
"… Probably not, right?" Dehisa, who was drinking water, suddenly heard the keyword and replied subconsciously. In his memory, Xiao Sheng didn't like to gather with others for a long time. He was always alone. After all, he was very good at solving problems since he was young.
Moreover, he usually rested well after a competition.
Breaking away from his memories, he turned around to put the water bottle into his bag, only to see Diamond's face filled with the word "mourning". Dehisa was embarrassed. He had almost forgotten that Diamond liked Explode very much. He was one of the few in class who dared to face Explode directly.
"Who knows, maybe Xiao Sheng's next opponent will come again, ahahaha …"
"Really?!"
"… Of course!"
Seeing the diamond come back to life, he let out a little sigh. According to his understanding of his childhood sweetheart, there was an eighty to ninety percent chance that he wouldn't come. But it was better to make Diamond happy.
"Hey."
A familiar sound accompanied the appearance of a large shadow. The impossible Explode appeared with a swagger, carrying his bag and jacket, and then sat down in the empty seat next to the golden-haired youth.
That was, directly behind Dehisa's seat.
…!!! So why did Xiao Sheng suddenly not play by the rules?!
Perhaps it was because he had just experienced a battle, but Explode had a strong and aggressive aura, which made him, who had been bullied before, feel restless. He tried to ignore the discomfort in his body and focused on watching the match, but the conversation behind him didn't let him go.
"Wow, Katsuji Jun, good afternoon ~"
Hey, hey, Diamond, your wave signal is about to pop out!
"Hmph."
He actually answered! And with such a friendly attitude, it was indeed a fake Xiao Sheng …
"Oh right, Katsuji Jun said you would bring me a lunchbox at noon. I remember that."
Has it developed into such a fantasy? Wait, something doesn't seem right. Student, I thought you couldn't eat!
"Shut up and watch the match. I will definitely do what I say. "
…
I, Midaya Dehisa, have no energy to complain. I just want to go home now.
"Next match, Midaya Dehisa VS Explosive Freeze, please get ready."
For the first time, Dehisa felt that Mike's voice was so pleasant. He, who could finally leave this strange atmosphere, stood up stiffly. The moment the broadcast sounded, the gazes behind him were as sharp as thorns. Just as he was about to disappear at the speed of light, he was stopped.
"Good luck, Dehisa!" Diamond was looking at him with a smile.
"Hmph." Explode, who was next to him, looked unhappy.
"Ha, ha, ha. Thank you for your encouragement, I will. "
At this time, looking at his childhood friend didn't seem so scary, and he was also working hard to become stronger. Ormet said that he wanted to tell everyone that he had come out of nowhere, and this "everyone" naturally included Xiao Sheng.
"Thank you, Diamond, I will do my best, please watch carefully."
With a positive tone, Dehisa repeated his thanks, but his eyes unconsciously glanced at Explode.
In the dark room, the TV screen, the only source of light, was broadcasting the grand occasion of the Xiong Ying Sports Festival. Most of the time, it was highlights of the game, occasionally there would be close-ups of the players, and occasionally, the camera would flash past the audience.
When the camera flashed past the seats belonging to Class A of Year 1 for the third time, he finally noticed the Gem Man in the school uniform on the screen. A special student who did not appear in the interviews after the USJ incident.
It was a clean, innocent, and beautiful face.
Just looking at it made him feel pity.
The rumors did mention that Xiong Ying accepted a transfer student, but the student was too mysterious. Although the media was curious, it was difficult to find out whether it was true or not. Now it seemed that there was such a thing. They did not rely on the forces behind them to pressure them and enter Hero City with great fanfare. Instead, they were mysteriously protected by Hero City and did not reveal any information. They did not even participate in the famous but highly exposed sports festival. In the past, all students were required to participate in it. This transfer student might be an important breakthrough in the implementation of the plan.
His fingers rhythmically tapped the table, and he was in a good mood as he imagined the wonderful scene after the plan succeeded.
At that time, the gentle and weak transfer student on the screen might not be able to smile, and the person he hated the most would definitely show an expression that made him excited.
Slightly twitching the corner of his mouth, he almost couldn't help but sneer.
