"… Hmm." Anqiu gave Bai Jian a high five with a blank expression as he brushed past her.
She stared at Prunus' satisfied face for a second, then turned around and walked back to the arena.
"… Don't lose." Prunus stopped her, "I'll watch from the lounge."
"Of course." She turned her back to Prunus.
An Qiu smiled. Prunus was working so hard.
She couldn't give up so easily.
…
An Qiu, who was wearing a neat sports suit, walked slowly to the arena under the applause and cheers of Prunus.
"… This kid is beautiful!
Where did she come from? "
"I've been paying attention to her since the horse riding battle!"
"I want to nominate this kid to the firm!"
"You're going for her looks. Hahahaha!"
…
Upon seeing the rookie make her debut, the Headhunter Heroes from the Hero Firm in the audience began to wantonly discuss An Qiu. As she wasn't used to or liked the feeling of having everyone's gaze on her, even An Qiu, who was known for her calmness, couldn't help but stiffen her expression.
Fortunately, the attention of the audience on An Qiu was quickly taken away by her opponent. Not long after An Qiu entered the arena, a tall and handsome boy with wheat-colored skin entered the arena from the entrance in front of her.
At the same time, the applause and cheers of the audience reached another peak.
It was as if everyone was here to see her opponent.
This was the reaction of the audience.
An Qiu looked up with interest.
She met the boy's eyes again. She remembered that his name was Kobayashi Tomoshu or something.
Just now, Sensei Mike was too noisy. She covered her ears and missed the introduction of her opponent.
Well.
Then what was the reason why the live audience was so eager to see him?
Was it because of his face?
An Qiu tilted her head.
Her eyes were indifferent.
Although the boy in front of her was tall and handsome,
But that wheat color was a little too much.
It looked just like a wooden stake.
An Qiu was full of questions.
In the next moment, Teacher Mike's narration provided an answer.
[OH
My！
Under everyone's thunderous applause, Mr. Kobayashi finally revealed his true identity — he was as handsome as his Uncle Might Of The Jungle, who was ranked No. 7!
Although he is still a little weaker than me … I wonder how strong he is?
Let's let DJ Mike give us a lesson in advance. It's said that Mr. Kobayashi is one of the best in the League of Legends department.]
An Qiu was suddenly enlightened. So, the uncle of the handsome boy in front of her was a famous hero?
When she came back to her senses, she looked at Kobayashi and Tomoaki helplessly. She clearly wanted to pass the competition inconspicuously, but she was unlucky enough to draw such a celebrity as her opponent …
[… The relative of a powerful and popular hero VS the beauty whose strength is a mystery — a clash of attractiveness, who will win and who will lose —?!]
Mister Mike held the microphone to his mouth, forgetting himself. The DJ spirit exploded, and the sound waves became louder and louder, heating up the atmosphere at the scene. An Qiu twitched her fingers in disgust, and with great difficulty, suppressed the urge to plug her ears in front of the national audience.
Tomoaki Kobayashi, who was enjoying the applause of the audience, finally reacted. He lowered his cold eyes and raised his hands again. Seeing Kobayashi's action, the noisy discussion of the audience suddenly stopped, bringing a brief moment of silence to An Qiu's ears.
Then, Kobayashi spoke in a flat tone, "I am me, not Might Of The Jungle.
Please focus on my strength. "After that, the audience paused for a moment, and then immediately applauded and cheered.
[OH！
What a tough speech!
I wonder if Might Of The Jungle saw it?
Well then — let's watch Mr. Kobayashi's wonderful appeal together!]
Teacher Mike was also in high spirits.
An Qiu: [… Why am I so tired before it even starts?]
…
No one knew how many NC fans Kobayashi gained at that moment. They only knew that after his speech, An Qiu VS Kobayashi officially began.
"Sorry, even if you are a girl, I won't go easy on you."
Kobayashi squatted down and put his two wheat-colored hands beside him. His brown eyes locked onto An Qiu, like a beast that saw its prey.
An Qiu was stunned for a moment. She adjusted her breathing and gestured for him to come at her.
After that, Kobayashi immediately reached out to attack. His personality was the same as Might Of The Jungle's. He could turn his body into a tree and attack or defend at will. Because of this, he could attack An Qiu who was standing dozens of meters away from him just by standing there.
The rule of the game was that as long as the opponent was pushed out of the field, he would win. He wasn't that aggressive. Since his opponent was a girl, his goal was naturally to use his personality to catch her and throw her out of the field.
[Mr. Kobayashi suddenly started to attack fiercely. I wonder how Miss Asakura will deal with this attack!?
Can she dodge it?]
An Qiu gradually got used to Mike's deafening narration. Of course, she could dodge it easily. How many times had she practiced with Explode?
She could easily dodge this kind of attack that wasn't meant to kill her. She didn't even need to use her personality.
An Qiu calmly dodged Kobayashi's branch attacks with a few backflips. In the last wave of attacks, she broke one of Kobayashi's branches with a kick and held it in her hand. An Qiu felt uneasy without a weapon in her hand, so she casually used her opponent's weapon.
Kobayashi was stunned for a moment. He looked at his personality that was being "borrowed", and then looked at An Qiu with admiration. For a girl, she had a strong sense of combat and was decisive.
"Looks like you have some skills …" Kobayashi smiled and raised his right hand. "Then I'll be a little more serious!"
An Qiu still didn't say anything. She held the branch in her hand with a serious expression.
…
"That bastard, he's unexpectedly serious."
Outside the arena, the person who had arrived at the venue of the first years crossed his arms and looked calmly at the black-haired girl standing in the arena. He clearly remembered that this girl had told him no less than ten times that she would be "eliminated in the first round".
Didn't she climb to the third round?
Did something happen?
Bao Hao looked at her determined side profile and saw that she suddenly became serious as if she had changed into a different person. That contrast made him feel a little concerned in his heart that even he himself couldn't detect.
He really couldn't figure out what that damned woman was thinking.
…
After that warning, Xiao Lin clearly increased the speed and intensity of his attacks. Tree branches burst out from time to time, but An Qiu just happened to dodge them all.
"… You're not going to use your personality?"
Kobayashi looked up in surprise. He continued to attack from the same spot and looked at An Qiu, who had been dodging his attacks. An Qiu bent her body to escape, but her black eyes didn't dare to relax as she stared at Kobayashi's movements. She thought that it was almost time because her dodging couldn't keep up with his attacks. If she didn't use her personality, she wouldn't be able to get close to him.
"Conserving your strength isn't what you should do in a sports arena."
Kobayashi was annoyed by An Qiu's lukewarm attitude. Thinking of this, he suddenly increased the intensity of his personality. The branches that were attacking An Qiu quickly changed their attack trajectory as if they were alive.
An Qiu cursed. No matter how fast she was, she would not be able to dodge this attack. She subconsciously increased the speed of her legs, trying to find a way to solve the problem. However, Xiao Lin still managed to grab her calf with a branch, and she was hung upside down by him.
An Qiu was shocked. She subconsciously reached out with the branch in her right hand to cut Kobayashi's vines, but the branches still grew so fast that she knelt down. The branches snaked up her right leg like snakes and tightly wrapped around her body.
"Oh!"
She furrowed her brows and let go of the branch in her right hand. She tried her best to pry the branches off her body, but she couldn't move them at all. The claws of the branches were too strong. Once Xiao Lin fixed the shape of the branches, she couldn't pry them off.
She gradually showed a sad expression on her face.
"… The winner has been decided."
Kobayashi said with a poker face. He didn't expect An Qiu to not use her personality at this point. This really surprised him. But no matter what, he didn't care about her feelings or the reason for her choice. Since she was caught by him, he could just throw her out of the arena and win the game.
[After five minutes of tug-of-war, he finally caught her. Mr. Kobayashi used his personality in an instant and easily captured Miss Asakura. What's going to happen next?
Is this the end of the game?!]
Following Teacher Mike's timely commentary, the audience's faces gradually showed a bored expression.
It seemed that the outcome of this battle had been decided. Even An Qiu was helpless against the tree branch in Xiao Lin's hand.
"She's still not going to use her personality at this point?!
That damned woman! "
Unknowingly, the tycoon, who had moved from an inconspicuous position to the front row, gripped the railing angrily. He was so angry that his face turned into a white inverted triangle. What the hell was she thinking?
She really knew how to embarrass him!
Let's see if I don't teach her a lesson after the game!
Explode was angry. Sparks began to appear on his hands again.
Dehisa, who suddenly saw Explode not far away, trembled. She seemed to have seen something strange watching the game.
Erlang: I feel like I have a new target to tease.
Reishi: It's the smell of gossip!
Feng Da hugged Che Island and trembled. I knew Explode was up to no good!
Isn't he here to watch the game?!
Explode smiled helplessly when he saw Explode's anxious and angry expression. He and Prunus were the most familiar with the relationship between Explode and Asakura Yasuaki. Explode was probably worried about Asakura.
After all, his anxiety was written all over his face.
…

×××
After school, in Class 2-A.
More than half of the first semester of Xiong Ying had passed. Most of the second-year students' actual combat training had ended. The remaining classes were basically theoretical classes to strengthen their knowledge of heroes.
There was a reason for this. The Sports Festival, the highlight of the first semester, was approaching. Everyone had different preparations for the Sports Festival. Therefore, the school specially arranged for the second year students to reduce the burden of the actual combat training courses and let them start to practice independently.
"… Bang King, what are you looking at?"
After the continuous bombardment of theoretical classes ended, the whole class rushed back to their dormitory to practice or eat. However, Bombardment Scorch was absent-mindedly scrolling through his phone, which made Dehisa very curious.
"Wow … What a cute clay man!"
Li Ri had originally planned to come over and ask Green Valley for a sparring session, but when she passed by, she accidentally saw the screen of Hong Jiao Leng's phone. She was amazed and exclaimed.
