He felt that it was love.

Getting along with each other day and night, encouraging each other, as a relationship between two physically handicapped people.

From the entrance exam to the sports festival, to the unexpected meeting, and then to the training and learning together, that uneven short hair had now turned into long, smooth black hair, and that polite smile had now turned into its original form in front of him. They had spent a lot of time together, and had honed a superb tacit understanding that could be communicated with with just a look. As long as they formed a team in actual combat, they could even defeat most of the teams in Class A.

He felt that it was probably liking her.

Worried Envoy had transferred to Class A of the Heroes course in his second year. As a student who had transferred from the normal course to the Heroes course, he was the fourth student in Sunyoung High School to transfer to the Heroes course in the past ten years. He was a legendary existence.

His legend reached its peak during the second semester of his third year. He was strong and powerful, and he had the personality of a bad guy, but he had a stubborn belief in being a hero. Although he looked lazy, he was polite. If you were to compare him with the Hero University of Science and Technology, his worrisome personality would pale in comparison. However, his motivational process was the reason why people worshipped and respected him.

During that period of time, the students from the normal stream looked at Worrywart as if he was their idol. The juniors from the first and second years would go to Class 3A's classroom and politely ask how their Worrywart seniors had transferred to the Heroes stream or confusedly ask if they could become a Hero with their weak personality.

Worrywart only had one answer to this: "Don't just talk. Show me results first."

"

This was his personal experience. There was no shortcut to becoming a hero. If he wanted to be recognized, he had to train himself first.

Even though he had already transferred to the Hero Division and was willing to hire him after graduation, Worrywart Envoy still practiced physical arts day after day and learned the binding cloth from Kota Aizawa. From a physically weak person to a person who could fight against many people at once, his beautiful results were all accumulated bit by bit.

And during that process, there was an existence who had been working hard at the same time.

"Miyano, are you going today?

He asked routinely, standing before the Miyano Shun's desk.

Ever since the second semester of their first year, the two of them had been receiving training from Kota Aizawa after school every day. However, the girl's progress had far exceeded Xin Zhu's by a large margin, and she would occasionally be absent due to her internship at the firm.

But he didn't think there was anything wrong with worrying about others. In fact, the opportunity to be taught alone had ignited his fighting spirit. It was as if he wanted to catch up with others' progress in a year before Miyano Shun came back.

But occasionally, when they were beaten to the point of eating dirt, they would still miss their companions who were thrown to the ground together with them.

The fear of being dominated by Kota Aizawa alone was still very strong, but he always bore it with a straight face.

After reaching a certain level of physical skills and restraining cloth, Kota Aizawa stopped instructing them every day. Instead, he instructed the two of them to train on their own and injure each other. In the beginning, Miyano Shun always had the upper hand, but as time passed, the odds of winning were 50-50, and the winner would have to treat them to a meal.

Miyano Shun, who was sitting sideways and chatting with the other girls in the class, looked at him. Her long black hair flowed down her shoulders like a waterfall, and her blue-green eyes were smiling. They were probably discussing something funny just now.

"Okay, do you want to eat together?"

"Okay.

I'll eat after the training. "

"Okay."

"Then let's go to the new restaurant?"

"Okay."

"Okay."

"Okay."

After the conversation, Miyano Shun once again returned to the group of girls. As usual, she was asked by Sana Ashito if they were dating. She had been through hundreds of battles before, so she casually replied that Xin Zhu was a good friend.

"Hey, hey, you guys must be together, right?"

Minoru Mineda and Shangming Danki also came over mysteriously as usual.

"Nope."

His face was lazy and calm. "We're good friends."

"Good friends."

When he said this, he actually didn't know what the definition of this relationship was, but good friends seemed to be the closest definition of this relationship. If there were more than that, what would it be?

Good partners?

The two of them had a tacit understanding with each other, and there was a high chance that they would train together after school. They said that there was no pure friendship between a man and a woman, and that love would grow over time. Everyone thought that they would definitely be together one day.

Xin Zhu had never been in a relationship before, so he didn't know what love felt like. But he knew that he saw Miyano Shun as a special existence. If she was in trouble, he would definitely help her to the end.

… Besides, Miyano Shun already had someone she liked.

It wasn't a big deal to find out about this. The longer they knew each other, the more he knew that she didn't like to gossip. Occasionally, they would talk about their personal matters, and it wasn't a big deal.

And that day happened to be the actual combat training course. In the 2v2 battle, in order to save her, he pulled Miyano Shun too hard. The two of them bumped into each other and fell into a ball. Physical contact training was always going to hurt each other, but he had never had the experience of hugging a girl in his arms. Although he didn't have the time to be shy before Takeshi Takeshi attacked him. But after thinking about it, his heart still sped up a little.

The sudden hug broke a hole in their firm friendship. Perhaps for a moment, he thought that it was ignorant love.

They hurt each other again in the gymnasium. Xin Zhu reminded him of the hug and the usual joke with his classmates. Then, unsurprisingly, because he was distracted, he was pressed to the ground by Miyano Shun. Miyano Shun looked like she wanted to say something, but stopped. She sat next to him and spoke directly.

"Xin Zhu, what's wrong with you today?"

Miyano Shun used his personality to get a bottle of water and put it next to Xin Zhu, who was lying flat on the ground and didn't want to get up. "You're so unfocused. If Aisawa-sensei was here, your face would be pressed into the ground."

"…"

"… And then you said that you're going to fire me?"

"…"

Miyano Shun chuckled. "Be careful. He'll jump down from the sky and say 'you're fired'."

"…"

He looked at the girl's smile and couldn't help but laugh. Teasing Kota Aizawa was probably a common topic for the two of them, but of course, only in private would they have the guts to joke like this.

"You haven't said anything yet. What's wrong with you today?"

After joking, Miyano Shun immediately pulled the topic back. He looked at Xin Zhu curiously and worriedly.

What should he say?

Should he be honest?

Usually, there was nothing that he wouldn't talk about. Today, he wanted to say something but stopped. Miyano Shun caught it.

"It's okay. If you don't want to say it, don't say it.

"…"

Understanding. "

"… I don't know how to say it."

He paused for a moment and then answered carefully. He didn't want the topic to stop here, but he wanted to know the answer as soon as possible.

"In what way?"

"…"

He tried to calm down the throbbing feeling in his heart and maintained a blank face. "… Love."

"…"

"… My God, we're in love!"

Miyano Shun exclaimed. He patted Xin Zhu's shoulder excitedly. "Who is it?

A junior from the general department?

"…"

"Also?"

"Oh … Although I'm very curious, if you don't want to say it, then don't say it."

She instantly restrained her excitement, and the corners of her mouth curled up into a sly smile.

"… What if I say it's you?"

He propped himself up and looked at the girl lazily.

Miyano Shun didn't even blush and directly responded to his question. "Is it because of today's hug?"

"…"

"…" Having a friend who knew him like the back of his hand felt like he was being seen through in minutes.

She tilted her head. "You know, when you said that, you were super rational."

"…"

The worried man was stunned.

"And I already have someone that I like."

Miyano Shun regained his mischievous expression. "Xin Zhu, you're a good person, but I can't accept you."

"…"

After saying that, he even patted his shoulder.

… The boat of friendship was about to capsize in minutes.

"Xin Zhu, I like you!"

The brown-haired, fair-skinned junior girl had asked him out with a clumsy excuse at noon. When they got to the rooftop, her whole face was as red as a cooked shrimp. Her hands clutched the love letter tightly, and she did not even dare to look at him when she bent over at a ninety-degree angle.

Xin Zhu's heart was as calm as still water. This was the first time he had been confessed to, but it was impossible for him to be moved by a junior. He didn't believe in love at first sight.

"… What's your name?"

"…"

"I, I'm from the general department's first year class C, Xin Zhu!"

"…"

She answered as if she was a soldier reporting a number.

Xin Zhu couldn't help but laugh at this thought. He took the love letter. "Junior, thank you. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

"…"

He could see that the Sound Messenger was really flustered and wanted to say something but stopped on second thought. However, he had to eat during the lunch break and quickly change his clothes to face the Actual Combat Lesson. The worried Sound Messenger smiled apologetically at the flustered junior and left first.

Xin Zhu also forgot about the love letter when he went back to the classroom. When he came back from the actual combat class, he was holding the textbook that he was going to bring home to read when school was over. The love letter accidentally fell out.

"Love letter!"

Minoru Mineda shouted. He quickly grabbed the pink envelope that fell on the ground. "It must be that girl from noon!

You're really making people jealous ah!

"…"

"Really?!

Really?! "

Shangming Danki immediately came over and elbowed Xin Zhu's waist. "You're pretty popular!

That girl from noon was super cute! "

"…"

Sana Ashito also came over. "?

G!

What a girl!

Xin Zhu, have you opened it? "

"…"

Xin Zhu calmly put away the bag. "No, give it back to me."

"Alright."

However, the youthful act of sending love letters couldn't be quelled so quickly. Some people were tempted to tear open the love letters and take a look, but the worriers weren't very active and only gave negative verbal advice. In the end, it was Miyano who couldn't stand it anymore and snatched the letter away with his personality.

"I said, this isn't for you. Calm down."

Miyano Shun's expression was a little serious and her tone wasn't very kind. She walked in front of Xin Zhu and handed him the pink envelope. "… This is someone else's thought. Don't be like this."

"Alright."

The atmosphere instantly turned cold after being scolded. Xin Zhu took the pink envelope and put it in his bag. The rest of the people touched their noses and also felt that they had gone too far.

After the small farce ended, Miyano Shun and Xin Zhu still went to training together. However, Xin Zhu, who suddenly cared about the love letter, was once again pressed to the ground by the girl.

"… Xin Zhu, I said, do you really want to be expelled from Aisawa-sensei?"

Miyano Shun held her head and said in a heavy tone. "Tomorrow's physical combat training is held by Aisawa-sensei. If you don't improve and keep regressing, you will be expelled in minutes."

"…"

"…" Xin Zhu knew that he was in the wrong and couldn't say anything.

"If you care so much about the love letter, open it and take a look. It wasn't meant for you in the first place.

"…"

"…" He really felt that Miyano Shun knew him too well.

If you care, open it and take a look. But if Xin Zhu didn't like that girl, then why did he open it and take a look?

So what if he opened it and took a look?

He wouldn't fall in love with the girl after reading the love letter. No matter which path he took, wouldn't he end up rejecting others?

"I don't think it's meaningful …" The worrywart's words were unclear, but as a partner who had a great tacit understanding with each other, Miyano instantly understood what he meant.

"… Although it's meaningless, you still have the following three possibilities."

Miyano Shun stretched out his right fist and flicked a finger every time he said something. "First, if you don't open it, you will keep thinking about the love letter and get expelled from Aisawa-sensei tomorrow. Second, if you open the love letter and don't feel anything after reading it, you will tell the girl that you are a good person but I can't accept you. Third, if you open the love letter, you will start to care about the girl and eventually fall in love with her. Then you will be single and everyone will be happy."

"…"

"… Doesn't that mean I have to open it?"

The more Xin Zhu thought about it, the more he felt that besides the third possibility, the first and second possibilities could really be what Miyano Shun said.

"I didn't say that. You want to open it yourself."

Miyano Shun shrugged his shoulders and said nothing.

"…" Xin Zhu really felt that he was a fool for thinking that he liked Miyano Shun.

"Anyway, no matter what decision you make, I will support you."

Miyano patted him on the shoulder. "But to be honest, I also think that girl is very cute. I also really want to know what was written in the love letter because I'm super invincible. I want to know what my junior likes about you. But if you don't want to tell me, just ignore me. I'll always be your best friend."

"…"

"… Go away!"

"…"

The boat of friendship really can't hold on anymore!

In the end, Xin Zhu was afraid that he would be expelled from Kota Aizawa, so he opened the love letter.

However, after reading the content, he stared at the ceiling for a long time. He couldn't help but feel that Miyano Shun was really scary. His indecent guess was actually right.

Xin Zhu was sincere.

He really started to care about the girl.

Many people said that caring was the first step to liking someone. Xin Zhu didn't comment on this before. You would care about your enemies and teachers, but you wouldn't like them.

However, the next day, during physical combat training, he finally understood what caring was. The hero class didn't always have to go to the battlefield for classes. Occasionally, they would go to the field for classes. The field was close and the field was big. If there was no need to use a special field, Kota Aizawa liked to go to the field for classes. He didn't want to waste time, so of course, he would choose the nearest place.

Then, coincidentally, Class C of the general class had physical education. Sunyoung High School had a lot of space. One field could easily accommodate five classes.

Xin Zhu saw that Xin Zhu was sincere. He stared at the girl and thought about the content of the love letter. Then, the person next to the girl patted her shoulder. The two of them looked at each other. Xin Zhu was startled and his heart skipped a beat. He guiltily looked away.

… Damn.

Xin Zhu instantly despised his own actions. That feeling of guilt was inexplicable. A lot pot suddenly appeared in front of him. He reached down and grabbed a ball. It was a red ball.

Only then did he look around. Everyone had drawn their balls. However, only he, Takeshi Takeshi, and Bombardment Scorch had drawn red balls. Before he could think about what was going on, Minoru Mineda gasped. "Xin Zhu!

You're really unlucky!

How did you end up in the same group as those two big killers?!

… "

"… Isn't it good to be in the same group as them?

Aren't they very strong? "

Xin Zhu didn't understand what was wrong with being in the same group as strong teammates. He looked indifferent.

Minoru Mineda gasped again. "You, your mentality of wanting to defeat your senior is too strong!

I'm not looking down on you. It's just that you have to defeat those two big killers to advance to the next stage. Don't you know the rules of the competition?! "

…

… Damn.

"Oh, you're very arrogant with those dark circles under your eyes!

I'll beat you and that Yin Yang face up later!

You two losers can go clean the toilet!!! "

Takeshi Takeshi said ferociously. His hands were already cracking.

"Bao Hao, you can't use your personality in the competition."

Bombardment Scorch walked over calmly.

"Shut up!

I know! "

…

"Xin Zhu, do you know the rules of the competition?"

It was rare for Minoru Mineda to care about a male creature. Her face was pure and innocent.

Xin Zhu's face darkened. He patted Minoru Mineda's shoulder. "Please tell me the rules of the competition again."

…

Minoru Mineda immediately revealed a sly smile. "Then the girl from yesterday, oh puff!

… "

Xin Zhu calmly put down his fists and walked towards Miyano Shun. "My good friend, you're the only one I can rely on."

…

"… What's wrong with Mineda?

Why does he feel shorter? "

…

Today's physical training class was a very simple one-on-one fight. However, because of the transfer student Xin Zhu, there was a group of three. Unfortunately, Xin Zhu was one of them.

Just now, the class was discussing how the loser of the first round would take turns cleaning the male and female toilets. The loser of the second round would clean the common area. The loser of the third round and above would help to take out the trash. Everyone needed to maintain the cleanliness of the dormitory.

No one wanted to lose in the first round. Otherwise, even if you were a boy, you would have to clean the female toilets and clean up the trash.

Xin Zhu frowned. "What if Minoru Mineda loses in the first round?

You'll let him go to the female toilets too? "

…

"Iida will help to supervise, and Aisawa-sensei has already given a special warning."

Miyano Shun smiled. "But aren't you a little too distracted?

We just discussed for so long. "

…

"…" Xin Zhu's face darkened.

A joyful voice came from Class C. Miyano Shun nodded. "After reading the love letter, you're starting to care about your junior?"

…

… Damn.

Xin Zhu felt tired. He didn't want to talk.

"Later, you have to work harder. Your junior has been looking here."

Miyano Shun smiled like a fox.

He covered his face. He was sure that the boat of friendship couldn't be saved.

Plus

Ultra, Sunyoung High School's motto, Transcend the Predicament.

When Xin Zhu was thrown to the ground by Takeshi Takeshi, he clicked his tongue and stood up. However, he couldn't think of any way to beat this person to the ground.

The Hero University of Science and Technology Triangle, Takeshi Takeshi, Bombardment Scorch, and Midaya Dehisa. Just like the three giants of the past, it was difficult to surmount.

Although everyone in Class A was outstanding, those three were the best of the best, the elites of the elites. They had strong personalities, strong physical skills, and smart minds. No matter what aspect they were, they were envied by others.

It was shameful to give up without even trying. However, after trying, he found that the high wall was so difficult to climb. He felt the difference even more clearly.

Xin Zhu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and got into a fighting posture again.

"Hmph!

You have dark circles under your eyes! "

It wasn't that Explosive Tyrant Sheng Ji wasn't injured, but after being at a slight disadvantage at the beginning, his terrifying physical fitness followed up with his worrying physical skills. The two of them were locked in a fierce battle.

Xin Zhu didn't want to talk. The spectating students were also holding their breath, waiting for the trigger.

"Xin Zhu Senpai!!!!

Come on!!!! "

A familiar voice broke the silence.

Unknowingly, the students of Year One Class C had also gathered. After that, the students of Class C started cheering loudly.

He seemed to smile and said to Takeshi Takeshi, "Bring it on."

…

When Xin Zhu woke up, he was already lying in the infirmary.

"You're awake?"

The recovered girl looked kindly at the student who had been lying in bed for the whole class.

The last thing he remembered was Takeshi Takeshi punching him in the stomach. He seemed to have vomited all over that guy. Thinking about it, it wasn't a loss.

But he had lost …

The cheers seemed to still be lingering in his ears. Worried, he sat up and overcame his predicament. As expected, he was still lacking. Unwillingness, anger, and helplessness. Every time he felt the difference, these negative emotions would temporarily appear. Only by training hard could he offset these emotions.

He took the recovered girl's soft candy. After school, he would look for Kota Aizawa to reflect.

Out of the infirmary, the brown-haired girl's cheeks were red. Even her eyes were red. She had been standing against the wall for a while, waiting for him.

But the Worrywart Messenger nodded sincerely to the Sound Messenger and was about to leave.

"Senpai!"

Xin Zhu ran in front of him, lowered her head, and said incoherently, "That, I saw the battle …"

"I know."

Xin Zhu answered helplessly. He originally planned to leave without saying a word.

Xin Zhu said in the letter that he was her hero. She said that after seeing his efforts, she also worked hard to walk out of the shadow. Then, in order to give him this letter, she asked him to go to the rooftop.

However, the hero lost, and lost in a very embarrassing way. Xin Zhu felt that he couldn't face this junior who worshipped him for the time being.

"… If there's nothing else, I have to go first."

He saw the Sound Emissary's flustered expression and hesitated to speak. She wanted to bypass the junior girl in front of her. That time on the rooftop, he didn't pay much attention to her and left. But now, he cared too much and wanted to escape as soon as possible.

Xin Zhu opened her hands and blocked the entire corridor, as if she was reporting, "Senpai!

I, I think Senpai looked very handsome when he fought until the last moment!

Senpai is really a hero!

I will always support you! "

"…"

The worried man was stunned.

Seeing that her idol didn't respond, Xin Zhu was uneasy. She lowered her head and looked at her shoes. She had to say the last sentence.

"Senpai, I, I really like you!

I, I … "

"… Go on, it's okay."

Worried person looked at Yin Shi Xin, whose eyes were red.

"Can I be friends with you?"

Xin Zhu cried. This personality of hers had brought countless shadows. As long as she asked a question, the other party would force her to answer truthfully. It was a bad personality that caused a lot of trouble. It was not easy for her to muster up the courage to talk to everyone because of her senpai.

"No."

Xin Zhu's mouth couldn't help but spit out his true feelings. Xin Zhu lowered her head in front of him and tears streamed down her cheeks, falling on her pure white shoes.

"Yes, yes … I'm sorry to bother you!"

"Yes."

"Of course, I won't be sad at all. I've tried my best!"

Xin Zhu was about to run away, but Xin Zhu immediately grabbed her hand.

"… Me???

Ah, since you like me, why do you ask if we can be friends … "He looked helpless and put one hand on his neck. That was a small action he would do when he was embarrassed.

"?

G?

"…"

At that moment, Xin Zhu's mind went blank. When she came back to her senses, Xin Zhu's face was red.

He covered his chest. "… Let's start with being friends."

"…"

So this is the feeling of liking someone.

A small side story outside the side story.

One.

In the medical room, Takeshi Takeshi heard the junior's confession through the curtain and a wall.

Tyrant OS: … Damn.

Two.

Xin Zhu cleaned the boys' and girls' toilets according to the class agreement. She suddenly found that her partner was Takeshi Takeshi.

Xin Zhu: … You lost to Xin Zhu?

Tyrant: Damn!

I was vomited … Damn it!

Three.

Xin Zhu realized that she had fallen into the river of love. She had been pressed to the ground by Miyano Shun for three days.

Miyano: … I beg you!

Go and confess!
