"But Little Bombardment Scorch, I'm really stupid." She always explained to him carefully.
It was as if Bombardment Scorch really said something wrong.
"I say, you... no, forget it." He didn't know how to describe her.
"Also, my father and mother said that,
It's not right to argue with others.
Even if I have dyslexia, I can still learn if I try hard. Mommy told me that. "Prunus looked at Bombardment Scorch with a helpless look.
Then he explained with a straight face.
"Dyslexia?" Bombardment Scorch was a little confused.
"Yes." Prunus answered in a low voice.
She would accidentally press her face against the book again. Every time this happened, Hong could not help but separate her from the book.
Hong impatiently reminded her, "That's not right, right?
You'll have to change your glasses in less than a month. "
"Oh, I'm sorry.
I made a mistake again.
Because I can't see this word clearly. "Prunus's little face was full of confusion.
She frowned with grievance.
"Which one?
Let me see. "
Hong naturally took the book from her hand... Yes, at first, he didn't like many things about her.
But he noticed.
He was used to watching her work hard and helping her from the side.
"This math problem is not calculated like this."
"Look carefully.
How did you write "7" as "1."
"You wrote the Chinese character wrongly again."
Bombardment Scorch even became Prunus's translator.
Bombardment Scorch was very smart since he was a child. His speed of understanding was much faster than other children of his age.
So when all the children were still ignorant of learning, and Prunus made mistakes in learning.
He was already able to draw inferences from the learning content and find the parts that Prunus would definitely get confused.
He warned her before she could ask him.
"Be careful.
Don't go left and right again. "
"This is Q, not O. Look carefully. The second letter is u, right?
Q must be followed by U. "
"Hey, that's not how you pronounce it."
"It's not like that. You're really …" Before he could finish his sentence, Bombardment Scorch was interrupted by Prunus trying to read her book. He thought to himself, "She's not stupid, she's just a little different from the others."
"Thank you, Little Bombardment Scorch."
She was always frowning as she held her glasses. Her fingers were glued to the book as she read it word by word.
Every time this happened, Bombardment Scorch would feel both angry and amused. He would reach out and hit her waist. "The teacher said that your reading posture is wrong."
"Yes, yes." She hurriedly straightened her back and stared at the picture book with a frown. "I accidentally did it again."
Bombardment Scorch felt helpless. He felt that she was really funny. She was reading a fairytale book as if she was reading a dictionary. Could she really understand the story inside?
Why did she look like she was having a hard time reading a children's book?
Looking at her like this every day, it was really fun to go to school.
"Boom!
Go play ball on the playground. "
"Oh!
I'm coming. "
Hearing his friends calling him, Bombardment Scorch got up from his seat. He didn't even say goodbye to Prunus and left the classroom to play ball with his friends. When Prunus was fascinated by the book and wanted to ask Boom about something difficult, Boom was already gone.
Prunus touched her head, blinked, and continued reading her book. But Boom didn't come back. She unconsciously put her face on the book again.
...
Yes, the relationship between the two was like this at the beginning.
Since the graduation photo incident, there had been an inexplicable awkwardness between the two. After getting along with each other day and night, there was a faint bond between the two.
When Boom was in a good mood, he would teach her. When he was in a bad mood, or when there was something more attractive, he would very naturally leave his slow deskmate alone.
Boom was born in a prestigious family and had an excellent personality, so he was very popular with the children. All of these gave him a kind of cold arrogance. So, to him, the things that happened to Prunus were dispensable, and occasionally added to his daily fun. He never thought about her. After all, he was very busy every day and had no time to think about things related to Prunus.
Boom's impression of Prunus changed from a slow person to a girl after he got that scar.
Everyone knew that at that time, Boom's mother had poured boiling hot water on his face because of the conflict between his parents. Because of this incident, his left cheek was scalded. He had to wear a bandage for two weeks. After the bandage was removed, there was an indelible deep red scar left on his face.
Perhaps the news about his family had spread to his classmates, or perhaps the scars on his face had simply frightened the people around him. The children in his class who had always surrounded him unconsciously looked at him with eyes full of disdain. Even some of the boys who had secretly disliked him in the past had begun to cause trouble for him.
Because of this rubbish, he was in a bad mood for a period of time. He was annoyed by everything he saw. During this period, Prunus was the only one who got along with him like a normal person. But of course, he was annoyed by his own affairs, so he didn't have the energy to teach her those childish books.
"Little Bombardment Scorch. How do you pronounce this word?"
"I don't know."
Bombardment Scorch didn't even look at it because he didn't want to answer Prunus' childish question, so he left his seat in annoyance. However, he found that no matter where he went, the students around him avoided him. They called him "monster", "ugly", "funny face" and so on. It was as if wherever he went, he could see his mother's disdainful and panicked expression on her face.
"Tsk."
Bombardment Scorch smacked his lips in a low voice. He put his hands in his pockets and walked out of the classroom with an annoyed expression. He didn't care about those noisy students.
"Boom, the scar on your face is really ugly!"
"Shh, keep your voice down. Be careful that Boom doesn't beat you up. He's Andwa's son."
"Boring."
Bombardment Scorch stared coldly at the two kids in front of him and walked past them to the boys' room.
...
The incident seemed to have happened during this time.
Boom didn't know what exactly happened. He only knew that when he came back from the bathroom, Prunus was pressed to the ground by the talkative boy. Her heavy glasses were knocked out of her eyes. He thought that she probably couldn't see clearly after losing her glasses, but her hands were still firmly holding the boy's hand.
According to the other students, it was said that Bai Jian went up to talk to the boy, but the two of them seemed to be unable to communicate. The boy pushed Bai Jian in annoyance, and the next moment, the two of them started to fight.
Bombardment Scorch was a little surprised. Prunus had that kind of personality?
"... Let me go!
You idiot! "
The boy who deliberately walked up to Bombardment Scorch to mock him anxiously pushed Prunus' face. Prunus didn't know what to do, so she reached out to grab the boy's arm and bit him hard.
"It hurts!
You idiot! "
The boy kept knocking on Bai Jian's head. Hong Jiao Leng didn't realize what was going on until this moment. Why did that idiot fight with others?
Didn't he say that he was a pacifist?
Didn't he say that he couldn't fight with his parents?
After being hit on the head by the boy, Prunus finally let go. But before the others could separate them, she crawled over and pinched the boy's face again. Maybe it was because she couldn't see clearly, even her gesture of waving her hand was very vague.
"... You're not allowed to bully Little Bombardment Scorch!" She said so, her tone was very angry and aggrieved.
Bombardment Scorch was about to step forward when he stopped.
So the reason why Prunus fought with the boy was because of him?
...
After such a big incident, it was natural that their homeroom teacher had to mediate the incident. Bombardment Scorch remembered that day, he desperately hid in the corner of the corridor and waited for Prunus' parents to come. He wanted to tell Prunus' parents — please don't blame Prunus. She only violated the agreement because of him.
Moreover, when Bai Jian, who had no personality, fought with a child with personality, she was naturally the one who was at a disadvantage. Although the boy had a bite mark on his hand and a few scratches on his face, Bai Jian's glasses were broken, and there were a few big bumps on her head from being beaten up. Her favorite sweater had also become dirty …
All in all, Bombardment Scorch felt that Prunus was the one who was at a disadvantage.
...
"... Teacher, Almond is usually a very gentle child. He would never quarrel with other children, let alone fight back. Could it be that the child over there did something?"
It was Prunus' mother, the famous Smoke Lady on TV. At this moment, she specially showed up at school to receive ideological counseling with Prunus. The other boy had already received it. His parents' working hours were more flexible than Prunus' parents, so he came to school earlier than Prunus' mother.
"... Mommy, that child bullied Little Bombardment Scorch."
Bai Jian, whose glasses were crooked, reached out to tug at her mother's skirt and said with an aggrieved expression — Speaking of this, Bai Jian actually didn't know the boy's name. She only knew that he had been pestering Jiao Leng recently.
"Little Bombardment Scorch?
Is that the child you always tell me about? "
Bai Jian's mother realized that it was her deskmate who often taught her. She sighed helplessly, "That child is also very pitiful … Speaking of which, teacher, don't you think that the students in the class are also a bit problematic?
If you let them treat their classmates like this at this stage, they won't change when they grow up. "
"... But Mrs. Prunus, fighting is always wrong."
"Yes, I will ask my daughter to avoid such behavior. I will also ask my daughter to apologize for hitting that child. But that boy also has to apologize to Bombardment Scorch."
Prunus listened to her mother's words. Although she did not understand, she still nodded seriously. Yes, there was such a thing.
The homeroom teacher looked troubled. Facing the determined woman, he did not know how to continue. He could only frown and say, "Mrs. Prunus is right. You can go back now. I will be more careful in the future."
Prunus' mother's expression softened. She looked at her daughter and led her out of the classroom.
...
In the corridor.
"... Almond, do you think that child over there is your classmate?"
Prunus' mother had been holding Prunus' hand. Her pair of red eyes, which were the same as Prunus', looked faintly at the corner. Since the beginning of the meeting, she had been feeling that someone was hiding there. She thought that the person might be looking for Almond.
Prunus blinked and let go of Mrs. Prunus' hand, "... I'll go take a look."
After that, she walked to the corner and found Bombardment Scorch, who had been squatting and eavesdropping since the beginning.
Being discovered by the dumbstruck Bai Jian, for some reason, Hong Jiao Leng felt a moment of awkwardness and anxiousness. He stood up and planned to rebuke her as usual, but when he saw the scars on the girl's face, many of the words of reprimand were forcibly swallowed back down.
"... What are you doing here?" Prunus raised her eyebrows and looked at him strangely.
Bombardment Scorch felt a little helpless. Wasn't it obvious that he was waiting for her to come out?
However, he knew that if he did not explain it properly, the idiot in front of him would not understand. Thinking of this, he opened his mouth and asked, "... Did the teacher make things difficult for you?"
"No," Prunus blinked and answered matter-of-factly, "My mommy is very powerful."
Bombardment Scorch felt a little helpless. What did this have to do with her mommy being powerful?
But when it came to her mommy, Bombardment Scorch was a little confused, "Didn't you say that I can't fight with others?"
Prunus suddenly understood why Bombardment Scorch was so hesitant. Thinking of this, Prunus walked closer to Bombardment Scorch and deliberately looked around to see if there was anyone around. She waved her hand and asked him to put his ear closer to her, as if she wanted to whisper something to him.
"… Well, Mommy told me that if I really meet a bad person, I can fight back."
Prunus carefully made a fist with her hand and said with a serious face, "Mommy also taught me how to fight. Mommy said that if something happened, she would help me talk to the teacher."
Bombardment Scorch did not know whether to laugh or cry. What kind of hidden version of family teachings was this?
But he could not help but sigh, "... Your mommy is so nice."
Prunus had a family that he was very envious of. He also understood why Prunus was so stubborn.
"... Really?
I like my mommy so much. When I grow up, I want to be a hero like my mommy. "Prunus smiled, her red eyes were dyed a warm orange-red by the setting sun. It was very beautiful.
...
"Almond, it's time to send you back. I still have work to do tonight!" The smoke lady looked at her watch and urged.
"Got it, mommy."
Prunus came back to her senses and gave Bombardment Scorch a big smile, "See you tomorrow, Little Bombardment Scorch. It's very late today."
Bombardment Scorch was stunned. So, she really did not know that he was waiting for her?
Bombardment Scorch watched the small white figure disappear at the end of the corridor and sighed helplessly. Forget it, he was almost used to that idiot's way of thinking.
From that day onwards, Prunus completely changed his view of her. He even had to admit that every time he saw her, he would feel a little embarrassed and anxious. He would also feel jealous when other people talked to her.
He thought that he must have fallen in love with Prunus. But, he did not dare to show it in front of her. He only dared to teach her patiently like before. After such a big fight, no one in class dared to laugh at him. Their days returned to their original peace.
He noticed that they had been promoted to the second grade of elementary school. They were still in the same class, but they were no longer deskmates. Prunus, who had been promoted to the second grade class, looked more depressed than usual. She even asked him several times whether she could not be a hero because she did not have a personality.
At that time, he actually wanted to tell her that she could be a hero. But, before Bombardment Scorch succeeded in encouraging her, she had already transferred to another school.
It was also later that he heard from his classmates that Prunus's parents were involved in an indiscriminate killing and were both killed.
Bai Jian, who survived, was sent to a distant relative's home.
He had no choice but to know what happened to her after that.

…
Evening, Dorm 1-A.
After eating with Bombardment Scorch at the training ground, Prunus was dragged back to the dorm by Bombardment Scorch to wash up and rest.
"Although the training will continue tomorrow … I still feel like I can't sleep now."
This was because this was the first time Bai Jian had undergone a special training that targeted her personal ability. She could clearly feel the improvement in her strength from Bombardment's training, and now she was a little unsatisfied.
Prunus looked at her palm. After Bombardment helped to cool down her muscles, she felt that she was in a good state.
"Should I try again?" Thinking of this, Prunus got up from the bed with a little guilty conscience and walked to the center of the room. Although Bombardment Scorch had told her to stop here today, it should be fine if it was just a little, right?
"Ding dong —"
But just as Prunus raised her hands, the message music from her phone rang again. Prunus, who forgot to set her phone to vibrate mode, was startled. She immediately dismissed the idea of using her personality. Perplexed, she lowered her hands and walked closer to her phone while muttering, "… Who sent me a message?"
"Let's meet at the training ground tomorrow at nine o 'clock sharp.
Rest early. "
[It's from Bombardment Scorch!]
How could he send it at such a good time?
Is Bombardment Scorch's personality sensing?]
Looking at the message "Rest early", Bai Jian's hands trembled as she guiltily sent a reply like "I'm almost asleep". After hesitating for a while, she also sent a picture of her smiling face, intending to pretend that nothing had happened.
The moment the message was sent, Bombardment Scorch already showed that he had read it, but he hesitated for a while before sending a reply.
[… Don't tell me you're secretly practicing.]
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)]
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: [… Bombardment Scorch teacher, rest early. Goodnight!
(Heart)]
On the other side, Jiao Jiao 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 teacher will probably kill me tomorrow. I'd better go to bed now …] With this thought, Prunus obediently put down her phone and went to turn off the lights.
However, before Prunus could touch the light switch, she heard footsteps coming from the corridor outside the door. Prunus paused and said with understanding, "… Ahn Chiu-chan is back."
They were the only two girls living on this floor, so she knew very well what was going on.
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 had ended.
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????]
[Has the shiny Asakura Yasuaki been eaten?]
Prunus was stunned as she opened the door. Her smile froze at the corner of her mouth. Her eyes met the girl with messy black hair, who exuded a dangerous aura of death, and who was covered in dust from the explosion.
When the girl heard the sound of the door opening, she turned around with a gloomy face and met Prunus' eyes again. Dark Mysterious Girl: … What's wrong?
Prunus bowed with a sincere look in her eyes: Sorry to disturb you, I'll forget this moment.
Dark Mysterious Girl: …
After the short conversation, Dark Mysterious Girl continued to wriggle into her room. Prunus stole a glance at the dark girl, closed the door, turned off the lights, and climbed into bed to cover herself with the blanket. "… Hmm, it's a dream, right?"
…
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, so she probably didn't want to eat breakfast today because she wanted to stay in bed.
Prunus thought helplessly. Then, she added a lot of tomatoes and egg salad to An Qiu's sandwiches.
After breakfast, Prunus returned to An Qiu's room. After knocking on the door a few times, she carefully opened the door. Since only the two of them lived on this floor, An Qiu usually didn't lock the door. 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 always looked very neat 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 very embarrassed.
This was enough to shock Anqiu's fans.
Prunus put the sandwiches 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 to death …
…
"… Boom!"
Just as Bai Jian was considering whether he should wake Anqiu up, a deafening sound came from outside their dormitory. Bai Jian was so frightened that he couldn't care less about Anqiu. He immediately ran to the balcony of Anqiu's room and looked towards the source of the explosion.
… Emm, it was Explode!
Prunus widened her eyes in shock. 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 like white inverted triangles. His hands were lit up by the explosion, and his expression was as fierce as an enemy.
Seeing the sudden appearance of Bai Jian, the explosive young man mercilessly roared in her direction, "Hey —!
White hair over there, is that b * stard woman in there?!
Tell her to come down. Why didn't she come to 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 from 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. Her black eyes narrowed and she jumped down from the balcony. Her movements were neat and beautiful. "… Help me turn off the air conditioner. Geez, I've never seen such an annoying person."
As she jumped down, Prunus heard An Qiu's helpless and irritated complaints.
"Hahaha …" Prunus smiled helplessly. She looked at An Qiu who was eating a sandwich while dodging Explode's attacks. She then walked to the training ground. Prunus felt that the scene was very fresh. "… Ahn Chiu-chan and Explode -san have established a unique relationship."
…
…
After telling Prunus about the little incident in the morning, they quickly began their special training.
"Are we climbing the mountain today?
Bombardment Scorch Sensei! "Prunus had just finished her breakfast and looked energetic.
"… Give me your hand."
Bombardment Scorch looked down at Prunus and motioned for Prunus to raise her hands. He then pinched her forearms seriously and asked her calmly, "Does it hurt?"
Prunus was stunned and looked confused. Bombardment Scorch then added, "I'm talking about muscle soreness."
Prunus immediately shook her head and grinned. "It's fine. It doesn't hurt at all!"
