I, Minami Kotori, Son of the Sun

Being suddenly stopped, Eri panicked and got ready.

She is a senior high school girl who is one quarter Russian. Ordinary people can't get close to her!

But is the other party an ordinary person?

When I took a closer look, I saw a golden bird egg head floating in the air blocking the middle of the road: "What is this?!"

That guy isn't even human!

Eri was shocked to see the yellow figure floating in the air.

It floats in the air without any support and looks weird.

"Gravity doesn't exist!" I was shocked and my brain went blank. My body felt like it was filled with lead and I couldn't move at all.

No matter what kind of creature it is, it will be afraid and even freeze when facing a crisis.

This is a very normal condition called spasticity, which is an instinct that can be mastered without acquired learning, and this emergency mechanism is almost uncontrollable.

In fact, many animals exhibit this defensive reaction, including many insects, fish, reptiles, amphibians, birds, and mammals, but one of the domestic animals most susceptible to spasticity is the chicken.

In tonic paralysis, the animal will become stiff, its voice will be weak, its eyes will close from time to time, and it will lose response to the outside world. In severe cases, its legs will begin to shake like Parkinson's disease.

The phenomenon of spastic paralysis was first discovered in the 17th century. In 1636, an Italian discovered that if you let a chicken lie on the ground, stroke its beak with your finger, and then draw a line on the ground, the chicken will stare at the line stupidly. Therefore, everyone initially thought that this was a kind of "hypnosis" for chickens.

Later, people found out that this was a form of animal defense. The methods of putting animals into a state of tonic paralysis are similar. Generally speaking, you have to catch the animals by imitating the movements of predators, or press them to the ground, or lock them in a V-shaped groove for more than 15 seconds to paralyze them.

The playful killer whales have also been found to perform such malicious acts as flipping sharks over to immobilize them.

If it is a rodent such as a mouse, pinching the skin on its neck, imitating the action of a cat scratching it, can also paralyze its entire body.

When a person suffers from spasticity, the body becomes stiff and involuntarily unable to move, and sometimes even unable to speak.

But what makes us human is that courage.

The courage to face danger!

"I can't fall down here!"

There are many kinds of courage. Facing the unknown cannot be called courage. That is called "stupid" and "reckless".

"Run!" With a shout, Eri turned around and ran.

As the saying goes, running away also requires courage.

However, before she could take a step, the yellow bird egg head appeared in front of her again.

"Yes, there are two!" Eri was shocked and rushed over to the trash can at the entrance of the alley.

"Well, I advise you to give up the idea of ​​running away." A man's voice came from the front, and he sounded about seventeen or eighteen years old.

The source of the sound...

Eri raised her head and looked at the golden-colored bird-egg-headed person: "What on earth are you......"

Its sharp beak opened and closed, and there was no doubt that the words just now came from its mouth.

"This is my stand, Spicy Red Pepper. It's faster than light, so you'd better give up the idea of ​​running away."

"Substitute...what does that mean? And why are you chasing me?" Eri asked when she saw that the other party was still able to reason.

"Girl, let me ask you, do you desire power?"

"What? Power?" Eri thought that the alien intercepted a young woman like her in the middle of the night with the intention of doing something wrong, but she didn't expect him to say such strange words at this moment.

It sounded a bit childish, but looking at that thing floating in the air, defying gravity and having nothing to do with science, she put away her contemptuous thoughts.

"It doesn't seem to be joking." Eri made up her mind and then asked, "What kind of power? Is it floating in the air like you?"

"Oh, maybe, and maybe not." Egghead laughed, "In this world, some lucky people have the talent to awaken a Stand, and their abilities can be stimulated by this arrow." Egghead took out a handful of exquisite golden arrowheads from somewhere, "Different people will awaken different Stands, but none of them can compare to my invincible Stand."

The egg-head boasted about himself. Although Eri was puzzled, she still followed the rhetoric and asked, "Can that power do anything?"

"Hey! Didn't you hear me? I hate repeating myself!" An electric current shot out from the bird-egg-headed fingertips. Eri felt pain and her whole body was stinging, as if there was a leakage from a plug, but it was not fatal.

"Power lies within you, and perhaps within your own wishes."

"Wish..." Eri heard, "Can abolishing the school... prevent the academy from being abolished?"

There was no answer, so Egghead began to chant: "Do you know rock and roll?"

"Rock?" Eri was stunned. Why did they suddenly say this?

"The so-called rock spirit is to use musical instruments to complete a high-speed solo at an extremely fast speed. Both the singer and the performer must do it with all their might, do it madly, and use their full strength to win applause from the audience."

"Of course, you also need the courage to withstand failure. Everyone who stands on the rock stage is a hero, a warrior who dedicates himself to the stage!"

“Whether to receive applause from the audience or become a laughing stock after giving your all, this is the spirit of rock and roll!”

When Eri heard this, her expression became complicated and she seemed touched.

"Girl, do you have the courage to sacrifice everything?" The bird-head raised the arrow, "Do or die."

"I want to stop the school from being closed down and protect my grandma's alma mater!" Eri said loudly. This was her wish. She wanted this power!

The girl's eyes were indeed full of desire for power, but the bird-head's eyes were full of disappointment.

"Huh? So that's not your own wish?"

"my own?"

"How disappointing." Xin Honglajiao sighed. She didn't expect that behind that extraordinary appearance, there was a heart that lived for others.

“Not rock and roll at all.”

It was about to leave and fly into the clouds.

"Wait!" Eri shouted. Her own dream?

The words of the bird-headed guy seemed like a sharp spear, piercing through the ice in her heart.

She saw it, saw herself shining on the golden stage, presenting the most perfect dance moves to everyone, the self shining with golden light.

"I also have a dream. I also want to stand on the most dazzling stage!"

Xinhong Lajiao raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Then, accept this arrow."

"Let me be frank with you. This could result in death." It said this in a nonchalant way, just like the "Agree to the Treaty" pop-up before installing software.

Under the huge temptation of power and dreams, Eri could no longer listen to such emphasis.

"I understand!" She no longer cared about so much else. Her desire for her dream and her desire to be a successful self made her take this step.

A golden arrow shot straight towards her. Eri widened her eyes and subconsciously tried to block it.

At this moment, a hand wrapped in silver-red armor blocked her way.

"So fast, it wasn't even a moment ago..." In an instant, this thought appeared in Eri's mind.

"Your power should not be awakened here." A magnetic and deep voice sounded through the strangely shaped mask.

Just a back view, that tall red horn: "Masked... Knight?"

Upon hearing this, the red knight turned his head and showed his side profile.

Like, a rhinoceros beetle.

Inexplicably handsome, and inexplicably familiar.

In the reflection of that blue compound eye, is my own appearance.

It's like looking in the mirror.

"kabuto," she murmured.
