"Hey — are you sure you can't participate?

Or do you want to fight side by side with your diamond classmate? "

During lunch, Diamond was with Dehisa, Li Ri, and Iida as usual.

Li Ri put down her utensils and chatted casually with Diamond. When they talked about the sports festival, she picked up her spoon unhappily, shoved a mouthful of curry into her mouth, and chewed hard as if venting her anger.

"Well … I encountered something bad when I went out, so the principal advised me not to participate."

Diamond briefly explained the cause and effect, vaguely glossing over Mr. Cat and the murder.

Nezin had warned him about what he could and could not say.

"Something bad …" Li Ri repeated in a low voice. She was considerate and did not ask further. She only looked at Diamond with worried eyes. "Is Diamond okay?

Are you hurt? "

"Not at all. I'm full of energy.

Besides, didn't I promise to cheer for Li Ri?

Remember to come to the auditorium to find me! "

"Hahaha, I suddenly feel a little shy.

But I'll work hard. I'll definitely let Diamond feel the charm of the sports festival!

Isn't that right, Dehisa Jun, class monitor? "

"… Ah?!"

Dehisa, who was stuffing a mouthful of pork chops, looked up blankly.

Iida, who was next to him, put down his utensils and calmly pushed up his glasses. "Of course."

Why would people hurt their own kind?

After returning from the police station, Diamond could not help but make wild guesses.

At first, he was too frightened and even chose to ignore them. But once he calmed down, he realized that he had really experienced something terrible.

He could live a comfortable life without natural enemies, but he had to create panic for himself …

He could not understand.

No matter how indifferent the relationship between gem people was, they could still risk their lives to protect each other.

It was not only him. Taking the life of one of their own was something that no gem person would ever think of.

"What are you doing?

You think you're so great just because you passed the test? "

While he was thinking, Diamond's head was grabbed by an unknown object. He looked at it blankly. It was an English textbook.

"It's fine if you don't want to participate in the sports festival. You're already weak anyway. You'll just embarrass the class if you go.

But you're wasting my time to tutor you, and you still dare to think about other things? Do you want to die? "

The furious words were roared out in one breath without any pause.

"Sorry, I …"

"Huh?

Trash is trash!

Do you know how to do anything other than apologize?

I'm asking you a question. Do you want to die?

If you want to die, I'll fulfill your wish immediately. If you don't want to die, you better behave and do what you should do. Don't look constipated all day long. Just looking at you makes me want to beat you up. "

Since Monday, Diamond had been in a daze.

That day during the tutoring session, Diamond Splendor discovered this. Although he was dissatisfied, when he thought about how the other party had just passed some unknown entrance test and might have encountered some unsolvable problems along the way, he allowed Diamond Splendor to let his imagination run wild.

The next day, Aizawa announced that the sports festival had entered the preparation period and that the opening would be next Tuesday. In the end, he also said that Diamond would not be participating due to special circumstances.

Then, during the tutoring session that day, the Explode once again endured Diamond's daydreaming.

On the third day, the Explode observed carefully and found that although Diamond was in a good mood when he was chatting with others during class, he would lie on the table and bury his face in his arms when he was quiet. Only a pair of empty, inorganic eyes could be seen.

What a beautiful dead thing.

This was too abnormal.

Even though they had not known each other for a long time, the Explode reluctantly admitted that Diamond had some ability to take a beating. It was quite interesting to have such an idiot as a follower. That was why it agreed to the tutoring session that Aizawa had mentioned. After all, it would be embarrassing if the follower was too stupid.

But if the other party always looked so depressed, it would be disgusting no matter how it looked at him. Even if it was just an exchange after class, the Explode could not resist the urge to beat him up, let alone tutoring him.

"Hurry up and answer!

If you want me to make the decision for you, then you can go to hell! "

He asked again, thinking that if Diamond continued to be a coward, he would happily beat him up and then leave.

Just thinking about being held up by a trash for so long made him angry.

He was just a little annoyed that he had misjudged him.

"I don't want to die … and I don't want to go to hell!"

The gemstone man's voice was usually soft and weak, but now that he was shouting, it sounded sharp and ear-piercing.

But it was not unpleasant.

The nitpicky Explode did not nitpick. He stepped on the table with one foot, leaned over and grabbed Diamond's collar, and said some harsh words.

"Then do it for me to see!"

Diamond stared blankly at the young man's crimson eyes. Under the backlight, the pupils were slightly larger, and he could clearly see his own reflection.

Perhaps it was because he had been glaring for a long time, but he could vaguely see traces of tears at the corners of his eyes.

It was as beautiful as a ruby.

"Let's go for a fight."

Diamond said as he reached out to touch the crimson gem in front of him. "Apply for a training ground with the teacher on the grounds of actual combat tutoring. Katsuji Jun got permission to use it, and I'll be fully prepared.

Give it your all and fight. "

"I'm not trash, and I'm not only good at apologizing."

"If you couldn't see it before, I'll let you feel it now!"

His fingers touched only the eyelashes and skin, which carried the warmth of a human body.

He wanted to continue touching, but his arm was grabbed and pressed against the table.

The table squeaked as it rubbed against the floor under the violent impact.

Explode held Diamond's hand with one hand and Diamond's head with the other.

Because of their positions, the two were very close, so close that Diamond could even hear the young man's steady and powerful heartbeat.

"Tsk, speak properly when you're talking. What are you trying to do by touching my eyes? You'll be able to take advantage of me if you destroy my eyesight, hmm?

Put away your little tricks, or I'll kill you right now. "

Diamond was silent. He had only seen the beautiful red reflection of himself, and had completely forgotten that the person in front of him was a human and not a gem.

Could he say that it was because he thought Katsuji Jun was as dazzling as a gem?

He would be beaten up even more badly …

He felt guilty and did not dare to look at the other party.

He looked around and found that his books had all fallen to the ground at some point, and the wind had brought with it many small notes he had scribbled in class out of boredom.

…

He suddenly remembered that there was something very important that he had forgotten to ask.

"Um, I didn't want to do anything to Katsuji Jun's eyes.

But let me go first?

Otherwise, if it's too late, the teacher might not agree to use the training ground … "

Since he could not remember, he had to deal with the matter at hand first.

"Hmph, I'll teach you a lesson later."

Explode habitually made a dissatisfied sound, but the corners of his mouth could not help but raise.

He did not have a comprehensive understanding of Diamond's strength. For various reasons, he still only fought with him during the number plate battle.

He originally thought that they would meet at the sports festival, but he found out that the other party did not participate. Even if he did not think that Diamond could do anything against him, he was still curious about Che Island's words about tearing down Gundams with his bare hands.

Soon, he would be able to satisfy his curiosity.

Aizawa came out of the infirmary, paused for a moment, and decided to go back to the office to pick up the courseware he had left behind.

The healing lady asked him to check on his injury every once in a while. Today, she also told him that his recovery was very good, but there would still be a scar.

"It won't be very big, but it's still a little obvious."

A man's scar was a symbol of honor, and he did not care. He was so relaxed that he even hummed a tune along the way.

He had to go back early to prepare dinner, finish the courseware before eight o 'clock, and take a walk to feed the cat.

He secretly planned the time, and when he took the courseware and left, he met two little brats who ruined his plans.

"That's great, Sensei Xiangze is still here!

Here's the thing: I want to have actual combat training with Katsuji Jun, so I want to ask you for permission to use the training ground.

After all, I can't participate in the sports festival, and most of my classes are about cooperative rescue, so I don't have a chance to meet anyone other than my teachers and classmates. But I really want to experience the feeling of fighting with all my strength! "

"Stop, stop."

Because a certain unreasonable cat was a fan of Diamond, the whole school received a compulsory task to satisfy all reasonable requests made by Diamond.

Unable to refute, his perfect itinerary had to end.

"In short, you need to borrow the training ground, right?"

After Aizawa led them to the destination, he lazily found a seat and sat down.

Diamond asked doubtfully, "Teacher, aren't you going back?

Thank you very much for bringing us here. We can handle the rest, so we don't need to trouble you. "

"The school has a rule that teachers must accompany students when they use the training ground." He rolled his eyes, indicating that he did not want to see children fight.

Ignoring Diamond's surprised expression, he took out his phone and looked at the time. If you feel guilty, you shouldn't have bothered me in the first place, you little brat.

"Hurry up, I have to go back and cook when it's over."

There was no need to hide, no need for tricks. Standing face to face in the open field, the two of them could see each other's movements clearly.

Diamond, who had changed into his combat suit and with the help of his high heels, was much taller than Explode.

His legs were slightly bent, one in front and one behind. His left hand was behind his back, his right hand was bent forward, and the back of his hand was turned down. This was the posture he saw on TV.

Not only could he maintain eye level with Explode, but he could also quickly deal with the opponent's attack. It was surprisingly suitable for him, who did not have a weapon.

"Good moves, I hope your counterattack is as beautiful as your posture!"

When he opened his mouth, it was still a friendly compliment, but he was already attacking directly.

Explode's left hand pressed down on his right hand, and he used continuous small-scale explosions to throw compressed grenades at Diamond. His feet were constantly moving to find a more suitable position. He did not expect Diamond, who Che Island kept talking about, to be easily dealt with.

In fact, Diamond did indeed dodge all the long-range attacks.

After the smoke dispersed, he still maintained his initial posture. His eyes, which were usually clean but blank, were now sharp.

"Still dilly-dallying at a time like this? Do you think this is a street game? One person one round?"

His dodging speed was barely noticeable, but he did not know if his strength was as exaggerated as Che Island said.

Explode stopped probing. He twisted his neck and stretched his limbs. After a moment of exercise, he rushed towards the target with a crackling sound of sparks.
