After reuniting with Prunus Almond at noon, Bombardment Scorch was a little absent-minded in the afternoon class.
This reaction was natural because he did not expect to meet Prunus again, and the location was Xiong Ying, a prestigious high school that specialized in training heroes.
Even..,
Now, she had actually become his junior.
Hong Jiao Leng rested her chin on her hand and tapped her ballpoint pen on the textbook for the hero course on the table. On the surface, she pretended to be listening attentively to AsiaZe's words, but in reality, she was thinking about her own matters.
He remembered that 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, and the students who enrolled were either rich or noble. Prunus's family was no exception. Her parents were professional heroes,
They were not famous among the media or the hero world.
Even..,
Her parents had worked with her father's law firm several times.
At that time, she was the same as now. She had a light apricot shoulder-length bob.
Her pink and fair face had a pair of round, clear eyes. She always liked to wear a white wool jacket over her school uniform jacket. It could be said that she was exactly the same as she was in the cafeteria.
But of course, this 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. At that time, he always thought that 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 rescue 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 the 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 because of this study habit, she even came home with myopia. She had to wear thick glasses at a young age, and she was laughed at by her classmates for a while.
"… 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, the whole class laughed, and he was no exception. He remembered that he put on a very skeptical expression at that time.
Until the age of six, she had not awakened her personality, and she 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 her 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 "very pitiful", and the classmates said "impossible" … She could certainly understand.
After that, he did not know how much time had passed, and how many people expressed their wishes for the future. After the public opinion about 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 asked 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 at all. Instead, she smiled softly.
Yes, if he thought about it carefully, perhaps when all these things happened to him, he would have cried in front of everyone. But Prunus endured it for so long.
How could she not be unreconciled?
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, are really a good guy —"
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. Suddenly, he was so embarrassed that his ears 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 to become 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 that time, painfully covered his cheek. He did not expect that his important graduation photo would be destroyed by Prunus.
After that, how his childhood playmate called him with the photo and laughed at him, and how 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 a holiday.
Bombardment Scorch's eyes were a little tired: … Ah, yes.
…
×××
Prunus looked at her palms. After using Boom to cool down her muscles, she felt that she was in a good condition.
"Should I try again?" Prunus got up from the bed guiltily and walked to the center of the room. Even though Sensei Bombardment Scorch had told him to call it a day, it shouldn't be a problem, right?
"Ding dong —"
But just as Prunus raised her hands, the message music from her phone rang again. Prunus, who had forgotten that her phone was on vibrate mode, jumped in fright. She had originally planned to use her personality, but in that instant, she dismissed the idea. Perplexed, she lowered her hands and walked closer to her phone, muttering, "... Who sent me a message?"
[Let's meet at the venue tomorrow at nine o 'clock sharp.
Rest early.]
[I-i-it's from Teacher Bombardment Scorch!]
He actually sent it at such a good time!
Is Teacher Bombardment Scorch's personality sensing?]
Looking at the message "Rest early", Prunus guiltily typed out a reply with "I'm almost asleep" with trembling hands. After hesitating for a while, she also sent a picture of a bright smile, intending to pretend that nothing had happened.
The moment the message was sent, Bombardment Scorch already showed that he had read it. However, he hesitated for a while before sending a reply.
[... You're not secretly practicing, are you?]
At the end, he sent a picture that looked a little angry. Perhaps he added it to match her habit of using pictures, using the simple emoji package that came with the system.
Prunus was a little flustered: [No, it's nothing. (Smile)]
(Smile)
(Smile)]
Bombardment Scorch seemed to have noticed something and sent a string of ellipses.
Prunus broke out in cold sweat and decided to quickly reply and end the topic that made her feel uncomfortable: [... Teacher Bombardment Scorch, rest early. Goodnight!
(Heart)]
On the other side, Bombardment Scorch finally gave up and sent her a simple goodnight before going offline.
Bai Jian guiltily.jpg looked at the last time that the person who bombed Jiao Leng went online.
[Erm, if I continue practicing, Bombardment Scorch will probably kill me tomorrow. I'd better go to bed now …] With this thought, Prunus obediently put down her phone and walked to turn off the lights.
However, before Prunus touched the light switch, a sudden sound of footsteps came from the corridor outside the door. Prunus paused and said with understanding, "... Ahn Chiu-chan is back."
There were only two girls living on this floor, so she knew very well.
Prunus blinked her big round eyes. She remembered that when she came back from the training ground, An Qiu and Explode were still inside. It seemed that the training was over now.
Maybe she should say hello to An Qiu before going to bed. With this thought, Prunus opened the door with a smile. However, she was shocked by what she saw behind the door.
[Who is this mysterious creature????]
Was the shiny Asakura Yasuaki eaten?
Prunus froze in the middle of opening the door. The smile on her face froze. Her eyes met the girl with messy black hair and a dangerous aura of death. She was covered in dust from the explosion.
When the girl heard the sound of the door opening, she turned around in a bad mood and met Prunus' eyes again. Mysterious Dark Girl: [... What?]
Prunus bowed sincerely: [Sorry to disturb you. I'll forget about this moment.]
Mysterious Dark Girl: [...]
After the short conversation, the mysterious girl continued to wriggle into her room. Bai Jian sneaked a glance at the girl before closing the door and turning off the light. She then climbed onto the bed and covered herself with the blanket. "… Hmm, it's a dream, isn't it?"
...
The next morning.
Perhaps it was because of the high-intensity training yesterday, Prunus quickly fell asleep and had a good night's sleep.
Prunus jumped out of bed at eight in the morning and ran to the communal kitchen to make sandwiches for two. An Qiu looked very tired yesterday. She probably wanted to stay in bed and didn't eat breakfast today.
Prunus thought helplessly and added a lot of tomatoes and egg salad to An Qiu's sandwiches.
After making breakfast, Prunus returned to An Qiu's room. After knocking on the door several times, she carefully opened the door. An Qiu usually didn't lock the door because only the two of them lived on this floor. This made it easier for Prunus to go in and look for her.
"An Qiu... Huh???"
After opening the door, Prunus saw a rare moment — An Qiu, who was always very clean and beautiful, was sitting on the ground. She fell asleep halfway through putting on her sports jacket. Her usually soft hair was messy and she looked embarrassed.
This was enough to shock Anqiu's fans.
Prunus put the sandwich aside and wondered if she should wake her up. Should she wake her up?
An Qiu had a bad temper when she woke up. If she disturbed her sleep, she might strangle her …
…
"... Boom!"
While Prunus was thinking about whether to wake An Qiu up, a deafening sound came from outside their dormitory. Prunus was so scared that she immediately ran to the balcony of An Qiu's room and looked at the source of the explosion.
… Erm, it was Explode!
Prunus was so scared that her eyes widened. She looked at the young man with a beige durian hairstyle who was wearing a sports jacket and waiting at the door. At this moment, his eyes were white inverted triangles and his hands were lit up. His expression was as fierce as an enemy.
When he saw Prunus, Explode mercilessly shouted in her direction, "Hey!
White hair over there, is that b * stard woman in there?!
Get her to come down. Why isn't she at the training ground at this time? Did she run away?! "
"... So annoying."
Before Explode could finish his sentence, Prunus heard An Qiu's resentful voice behind her. She looked back and saw that An Qiu had tied her long hair into a ponytail and was wearing a sports jacket.
— When did An Qiu get up??
"I went out."
An Qiu ignored the shock on Prunus's face and jumped down from the balcony. She looked very neat and beautiful. "... Turn off the air conditioner for me. Geez, I've never seen such an annoying person."
