..
After reuniting with Prunus Almond at noon,
Bombardment Scorch was a little absent-minded during the afternoon class.
This reaction was natural because he never thought that he would meet Prunus again,
And the location was still Xiong Ying, a prestigious high school that specialized in cultivating heroes.
Even..,
Now, she had actually become his junior.
Bombardment Scorch supported his chin,
And casually tapped the textbook for the hero course on the table with a ballpoint pen. On the surface, he pretended to be listening attentively to what teacher Aizawa was saying,
But in fact, he was thinking about her.
.. He remembered,
He and she had known each other since kindergarten.
When he was three years old,
He enrolled in a kindergarten that was some distance away from his home,
It was an aristocratic kindergarten,
The students who enrolled in the school were either rich or noble, and Bai Jian's family was no exception. Both her parents were professional heroes.
Her parents were professional heroes, and they were not famous in the media or the hero world. Her parents had even worked with her father's firm several times.
At that time, she was the same as now. She had a light apricot-colored shoulder-length bob,
On her pink and fair face was a pair of round and clear big eyes,
She always liked to wear a white wool coat over her school uniform jacket,
It could be said that it was exactly the same as her outfit in the cafeteria just now.
But of course,
This kind of ordinary thing was not enough for him to pay attention to her.
What really made him remember her,
Was her particularly slow and confused temperament. He always thought at that time,
Prunus was a perfect contrast to her hero parents,
Her father was a hero who could manipulate water, and her mother was a hero who could turn her body into smoke,
They could quickly save the victims at the scene of a disaster,
He was famous in the industry for his speed and coordination.
But Prunus was different. She was so confused that she could never catch up with the rest of the class. She would still make mistakes when she was six years old when she could recite the English alphabet backwards. She would even mispronounce the letter 'b' as'd ',' p 'as' q ', and' Q 'as' O '. Because of this, the kindergarten teacher even pulled her out of the crowd several times and forced her to recite the order of the English alphabet in front of the class. But no matter how many times she recited it, she still had the talent to get the answers wrong.
In Prunus, she only learned how to write her own name when she was five years old. Naturally, she only learned how to write Chinese characters when she was six years old.
Normally, kindergarten students would be able to use hiragana to write a diary when they were six years old. However, when she was six years old, she could still write Japanese characters in reverse. No one could understand her diary, and even when the kindergarten teacher asked her to read it aloud … she would still mispronounce what she had written.
When everyone was five years old, they could read picture books by themselves. She could only sit next to her friends and let them read it to her. When the picture book was in her hands, she had to point at it with her fingers and read it one by one. Otherwise, she would not be able to read it.
Her behavior was particularly impressive. Hong Jiao Leng remembered that at the age of three, in order to cultivate the students' individuality, they had physical education classes that allowed everyone to exercise their bodies. But whether it was running, throwing balloons, or walking, Bai Jian still had the ability to fall and walk sideways. She even tripped over the obstacles set up by the teacher.
As for the personality that everyone awakened when they were about three to four years old, she had not awakened it.
To put it simply, when he could easily hold a fire in his left hand and a piece of ice in his right hand, Prunus was still learning how to write her own name. She would stick her innocent face on the exercise book and copy her name over and over again, seriously and persistently memorizing the way to write her own name.
Thanks to this, she was gradually ostracized by the other children in the class who had awakened their own personalities. They directly called her 'idiot', 'slow' … As for those who were more mature and self-centered, they would even knock her head from time to time and ask her in a mocking tone, "Have you learned how to write your own name today?"
In response, she would always be angry and puff up her mouth, "I'm trying to learn!"
… Well, he knew that she was indeed trying to learn because every time he looked in her direction, she would be holding her little exercise book as punishment or pestering her friends to read her picture books.
But in the eyes of Bombardment Scorch, it was useless. Because he knew that no matter how much she copied that day, she would still forget half of it the next day.
She did not make any progress in her studies and even became nearsighted because of this study habit. She had to wear thick glasses at a young age and was laughed at by her classmates for a period of time.
"… Little Bombardment Scorch, you have such a strong personality!"
He remembered that at that time, she would occasionally say such things to him, who was the center of the class.
In response, Bombardment Scorch did not respond to her, but in his heart, he complained without any malice, "Why don't you say that you are too far behind?"
…
But even so, Prunus had always been clamoring to be a hero like her parents.
… In fact, he had to admit that when Prunus Almond expressed her wish of "I want to be a hero like my parents" to her classmates at the kindergarten graduation ceremony, everyone in the class laughed, including him. He remembered that he had a very skeptical expression at that time.
Until the age of six, she had not awakened her personality and could even fall down when throwing a ball. Was it really possible for her to become a hero?
At least, he could not imagine such a future.
In the class, the children with excellent personalities and the children with excellent reflexes who did not have excellent personalities, he saw the future of them becoming heroes. But when the spotlight fell on Prunus, he could not find any possibility of her shining.
But it was also on that day that he had a new impression of Prunus Almond.
On that day, Bombardment Scorch would never forget the scene on the graduation stage.
He happened to be standing next to her that day. After she expressed her wish, he heard the mocking laughter of her classmates, the sympathetic remarks of the parents, and the helpless sighs of the tutor. Not to mention the girl next to him. She was just an idiot who did not know how to read and write, but she was not deaf. The adults said "pitiful" and the classmates said "impossible" … She could definitely understand.
After that, he did not know how much time had passed, and how many people had expressed their wishes for the future. After the public opinion of her gradually dissipated, the young Bombardment Scorch dared to carefully look at the girl next to him who was under the spotlight. Then, he was surprised by the expression on her face.
At that moment, her eyes were red, and tears were swirling behind her thick glasses. But even so, she clenched her fists hard, bit her lower lip, and forced herself to smile at the parents and classmates who were attending the graduation ceremony.
Bombardment Scorch thought that on this stage where the spotlight was focused on, no one would be able to see the unwilling tears hidden behind the thick glasses of the girl. And she did not want everyone to see her unwillingness, so she clenched her fists so hard that they were trembling.
Then he thought about it again. It seemed that during the three years he had been in this kindergarten, he had never seen this girl cry. Whether it was when she was called out by the teacher to recite the English alphabet, when she fell on the basketball court, or when she was poked in the forehead by her classmates … She did not show any signs of crying. Instead, she smiled softly.
Yes, if he thought about it carefully, perhaps if all these things had happened to him, he would have cried in front of everyone. But Prunus had endured it for so long.
How could she not be unwilling?
How could she not feel hurt?
It was just that she had hidden those feelings — and he was the one who happened to see the truth.
"You, you're really a powerful fellow —"
Noticing this, the young Hong Jiao Leng had already forgotten that she was on the graduation platform. She directly expressed her thoughts to the white apricot tree in front of the entire school.
"Eh?"
His sudden reaction startled Prunus. Her tears were instantly scared back by his abruptness. She blinked her wet eyes and looked at him innocently. "What did you just say?"
"… Ah?
No, nothing! "
Bombardment Scorch's face was embarrassed, and his ears suddenly turned red. What did he do just now?
Why did he suddenly talk to this person?
They had been in the same class for three years, and he had never taken the initiative to say a word to her.
When he went back, he must not let his mother play the commemorative video of the graduation ceremony. Otherwise, he would definitely see how he talked to her in front of everyone. But in fact, what made him even more depressed was that the moment when Prunus turned around happened to be the moment when they took a group photo.
In short, the moment when the two of them separated from the formation and looked at each other, the school pressed the shutter and took this moment into the school's official graduation photo. It became a commemorative photo that every graduate had at home.
"Oh, Bombardment Scorch, why didn't you look at the camera at that time?"
He vaguely remembered the expression on his mother's face when she received the photo a month later. At that time, Bombardment Scorch anxiously snatched the photo and stared blankly at that embarrassing moment.
There was probably nothing worse than a moment of regret being taken forever and then sent to everyone's home.
Bombardment Scorch, who was only six years old at the time, painfully covered his cheek. He did not expect that his important graduation photo would be destroyed by Prunus.
After that, his childhood playmate called him with the photo and laughed at him, and his mother framed the photo despite his objections. He did not want to talk about it.
More importantly, in that season of cherry blossoms, he became a new student in a famous elementary school in the district.
And that slow-tempered classmate actually became his deskmate.
Bombardment Scorch: … Hello.
Prunus Almond did not know why, but she smiled a little awkwardly: … Little Bombardment Scorch, we haven't seen each other for an entire holiday.
Bombardment Scorch's eyes looked a little tired: … Ah, yes.
…
×××
…
Shiung Ying University, a week after school started.
After a morning of serial theory classes, Bombardment Scorch of Hero Section Class 2-A looked exhausted. He came out of the classroom with his good friend Midaya Dehisa and the others. The first thing they did was to go to the cafeteria to buy the lunch they had been looking forward to for a long time.
"Mei-yu, the Drowning Theory we just taught is so difficult …"
Chako Reishi, who had a brown bob, complained to Mei Yu of Frogblow who was walking beside her.
"It's okay for me. Captain and the others taught me a lot during the workplace experience last year."
Mei Yu of Frogblow licked the corner of her mouth. Thinking of the workplace experience last year when she fought off the stowaways with Sirius and the others, the corner of her mouth unconsciously raised.
"Sob sob … I hope I won't fail …" Chako Reishi had tears in the corner of her eyes.
"No, Teacher Aizawa is right. As a superhero, we must have the ability to judge correctly in any situation. Understanding the characteristics of various places will help us effectively save them. In the future, we can't only work as a hero in a single place. We might have to work with heroes in other fields …"
Unlike Chako Reishi's negativity, Midaya Dehisa was still immersed in the new knowledge he had just learned. He muttered the new things he had just learned while writing quickly in the small notebook he carried with him.
"It's been a long time since I saw Dehisa like this."
Mei Yu of Frogblow was a little helpless. She stuck out her long tongue and poked his ear. Dehisa was shocked and stopped his muttering. "Wow!
Frogblow sang! "
"Although I don't want to disturb you, the team is almost here."
Frogblow habitually put her fingertips to her mouth and reminded him thoughtfully.
"Yes!
Dehisa sang, it's very dangerous to keep your head down and write in such a crowded place! "
Tenya Iida also reminded her in a timely manner, waving his hands like a robot. Dehisa reacted and curled the corners of her mouth helplessly. "Sorry … Spring break has just passed, and I've just become a second-year student. I'm a little excited …"
Bombardment Scorch, who was beside them, did not say anything. He stared calmly at the cafeteria's menu and listened to their conversation casually. The corners of his mouth slowly curled into a smile — he was not disgusted with this kind of daily routine.
Last year, they had finally gotten into this hero training school that everyone in Japan was eager to attend. At the same time, they had also experienced many frightening crises — being attacked by the enemy alliance in USJ, fighting off the hero killer Stein with Iida and Dehisa during workplace training, being attacked during their stay in the forest, and then the rescue operation of Explode …
All kinds of things had happened, and they had finally become second-year students at hero high school.
During this period, he had experienced growth and thought about all kinds of things. He had also established deep friendships with Dehisa and the others in his class.
And it was also because he had experienced many heart-wrenching things that he realized how precious his daily life was.
The memories of his first year flashed through Bombardment Scorch's mind like a revolving lantern. When he came back to his senses, he saw a light apricot color quickly passing in front of him. He subconsciously froze, and a name that had been dusty in his heart for a long time blurted out at this moment. "… Is that Prunus?"
Holding a plate of food, Hong Jiao Jue called out to the girl who passed by him in a surprised tone. When the girl heard her name, she turned around in a daze and looked at Hong Jiao Jue submissively.
Bombardment Scorch looked at the girl who was a head shorter than him in surprise.
Her hair was a special light apricot color. The girl had shoulder-length hair, and on her fair and cute face was a pair of round and gentle red eyes. Although her facial features were slightly more mature than before, she was still her. He could recognize her at a glance.
The girl who was suddenly called out to also looked at the person who had come with a hesitant but serious gaze. On the left was red hair, and on the right was white hair. The boy standing in front of Prunus Almond was tall and slightly muscular. There was a burn mark on his handsome face that was difficult to ignore.
With just one glance, a person's name came to her mind. Prunus Almond's face lit up, and she didn't hesitate to show a soft smile. Although she was usually a little face-blind, she had only met one person in her life who had hair of different colors on both sides.
"… Little Bombardment Scorch!"
Prunus Almond's tone was a little happy, and she didn't hesitate to call out the name she used to call him when they were children.
Bombardment Scorch's mouth unconsciously curved into a gentle smile when he heard her call him that. He remembered that she used to call him that, and he was used to calling her by her name.
It was just that they hadn't seen each other for many years, about seven or eight years.
He didn't dare to call her by her name in front of so many people … Probably because of the awkwardness of adolescence and the consideration of politeness.
However, the girl didn't seem to have any doubts in this regard. Instead, she smiled very happily, and he was relieved.
"… Who is it?
So cute!
Is it someone Bang King knows? "
When Chako Reishi heard the voice, she blinked her big round eyes and turned around. Bombardment Scorch was stunned, and he noticed that Frogblow, Iida, and Dehisa were all looking at him curiously, as if they had seen something new. They nodded graciously.
"Yes, Prunus is my kindergarten and elementary school classmate."
Bombardment Scorch's answer was straightforward, and Prunus reacted quickly, "… My name is Prunus Almond, nice to meet you!"
"I'm Chako Reishi!"
"Frogblow, Mei Yu, just call me Mei-yu."
"Tenya Iida."
"Oh, I … I'm Midaya Dehisa!
Nice to meet you! "
Dehisa quickly put away the notebook that she had been holding in her hand, and with a shy smile on her face, she immediately showed a gentle and humble smile to Prunus.
Prunus suddenly heard so many people introducing themselves, and she was a little dizzy. She blinked her eyes and said, "That … that …" She was not good at remembering people's names and faces, and her tone was a little apologetic and guilty.
Bombardment Scorch saw a trace of unnaturalness on her face, and he pursed his lips and smiled. He remembered that she often had this kind of troubled expression. For example, when other people were happily introducing themselves to her, or when he was explaining math problems to her, she would naturally show an anxious expression on her face whenever she couldn't catch up with something.
However, Dehisa did not notice that out of curiosity about everything in Shiung Ying University, he quickly changed the topic, "… Since you're Bombardment's classmate, we should be the same age, right?
Which class is Prunus in?
I haven't seen you at all last year! "
Prunus was able to answer this question, and her face lit up. She happily replied, "I'm in Class 1-A of the Hero Section this year!
Something happened, so I took the high school entrance exam a year later than everyone else … "
There was a trace of shyness on her cheeks as she said this somewhat embarrassedly.
Hong Jiao Leng didn't say anything either. She only stared blankly for a moment when she heard her talk about Class 1-A of the hero course, but it wasn't a good time to start a conversation. She only quietly watched her and Green Valley's conversation until she saw a young girl with long ink-black hair appear behind the white apricot tree.
The girl had an indifferent expression, and she was wearing a neat Shiung Ying University uniform. She was slightly taller than Prunus, and her long black hair formed a strong contrast with her pale face.
The girl did not say anything, but calmly walked to Prunus's side and patted her on the shoulder. Prunus, who was about to introduce herself, noticed her and came back to her senses. "Little An Qiu!
Sorry, sorry … I didn't notice the time again … "
The girl called An Qiu did not respond. She only glanced indifferently at the second-year students, and then her gaze returned to Prunus.
And in this fleeting glance, the second-year girls could not help but gasp — this girl called An Qiu was so beautiful!
Her face was expressionless, and her eyelashes drooped lazily. Her nose was small and exquisite, and her slightly pursed lips had a faint red luster. She was even more beautiful than Teacher Midnight!
Chako Reishi, Frogblow, and Mei Yu stared at the girl with envy and curiosity, waiting for her to introduce herself. She walked away from them again. Prunus, on the other hand, chased after the girl and explained, "Sorry … our class has indoor combat training in the afternoon, so we have to finish our lunch early to prepare. Little Bombardment Scorch … Ah, no, Bang King, let's talk again when we have the chance!"
The petite girl jogged a few steps to catch up with An Qiu, her cute face full of apology.
Bombardment Scorch pursed his lips and smiled at her — in fact, he wanted to tell her that even if Prunus continued to call him by his name, he would not mind. Or rather, he would feel happy and nostalgic when she called his name with such vigor.
It was rare to see such a gentle expression on Bombardment Scorch's face, and Dehisa could not help but ask, "… Hong San, are you saying that you and Prunus were originally very close?"
"Little Bombardment Scorch … What a cute nickname," Frogblow, Mei Yu, said in a meaningful tone as she tapped her lips with her finger.
"Yes, yes!
I care a lot! "
Chako Reishi felt that something was amiss. She and Frogblow looked at each other and waited excitedly for Bombardment Scorch's answer.
Hong Jiao Leng's expression froze. Facing the gossipy eyes of his friends, he was about to say something when Minori Fueda and Minato Kamikaze suddenly jumped behind him and said bluntly, "Just now, just now, just now, that beauty!
Why did she walk to your side?!
Did you know that she's the most anticipated goddess among the first-year students … "
At this point, Fengda made a wretched expression and dragged out his last syllable, causing everyone to look at him curiously.
Even Bombardment Scorch was no exception. He raised his eyebrows and looked at the lecherous Feng Da of Class A.
"… Asakura Yasuaki -sama!
And … and I heard that she's the same age as us! "
