The next day.

English class in the afternoon.

Vulcan bowed down on the desk with a gloomy expression, letting the harsh sunlight outside the window cast on his face, propping his chin with his left hand, and tapping his right hand restlessly on the table.

Turning his head to look at Heizi's empty desk behind him, Vulcan couldn't help smacking his lips in a fit of irritability.

I originally planned to come to school today to talk to Heizi, but after waiting all morning, Heizi didn't come to a class.

I asked around in a confused mood, but no one knew where Heizi went.

The slender fingers nimbly turned the pen, Vulcan's red eyes turned out of the window, furrowed his forked brows, and gritted his teeth.

"Why didn't you come to class?..." muttering to himself, he slightly retracted his palm.

——In two days, I will transfer from Shirorin——

Inadvertently, the serious face of Heizi yesterday evening gradually appeared in his mind, and Vulcan couldn't help but turn dark.

"Turn away? That kid...what the hell are you talking about..." Throwing down the pen, Vulcan rubbed his hands into the ends of his hair, rubbing them vigorously.

indeed.

Ever since he entered the city and met Heizi, subconsciously, he always took it for granted that the other party would always be side by side with him.

He is the light, and the other is his shadow.

As long as he is here, Heizi will be by his side.

——Vulcan-kun, I like you——

However, while his thoughts were in chaos, yesterday's Heizi's sincere and peaceful voice suddenly echoed in his ears.

"!"

His shoulders trembled again, Vulcan's face was slightly curved, and he felt a dull chest inexplicably.

Unable to restrain his ears once again, a blushing raged, Vulcan slowly shook his head, and picked up the dropped ballpoint pen again.

——Sure enough, even if it was only a day later, thinking about that sentence today, the feeling of shock is still not inferior to that of yesterday.

Looking down at the messy circles he had unconsciously drawn on the English textbook in front of him, Vulcan couldn't help closing his eyes and took a long breath, feeling even more upset.

After a while, he clenched his fingers tightly and sank slightly into the palm of his hand. He said angrily, "Why did you say that out of nowhere?! Why didn't you come to class today?! Shit!"

He growled aggressively, but just after venting, a shadow was cast in front of him.

Dumbly stunned, Vulcan was silent for a moment, and slowly raised his head stiffly.

——In front of him, a figure stood coldly, looking down at him with a gloomy face at the moment.

Stretching out his hands dryly and scratching his head, a hint of embarrassment appeared in Vulcan's eyes: "Mr. J, Jason..."

With arms folded, the new substitute teacher Jason looked as if he was going to swallow Vulcan alive, and raised his eyebrows angrily: "Student Vulcan, this is the third time I've called your name today." Repressed and trembling with anger The other party narrowed his eyes, "Don't think that if you have stayed in the United States before, you will be herding sheep in this course! How did you score in this test?! Huh?!"

"I'm sorry." Lowering his head in embarrassment, Mr. Jason continued to read the three-character scriptures by Ren's ears, and Vulcan had the urge to hit the wall.

He was punished to stand in a daze for a class, and finally made it to the end of get out of class. Vulcan straightened the collar of his school uniform depressedly, hurriedly swept the table full of stationery into his sports bag, then hurriedly turned and walked out the door.

Wait for the basketball team to have training.

Maybe...he could see Heizi.

That kid is someone who will never lack training even if he misses classes.

Thinking of this, he slightly clenched his fists, and Vulcan's expression gradually became serious.

See Heizi later——

Be sure to ask him clearly... what happened yesterday.

Taking a long breath, Vulcan gradually quickened his pace in the narrow corridor of the school building, feeling inexplicably irritable.

**

When they arrived at the basketball court, all the players had already started training.

Vulcan walked up to the bench beside the court, put his sports bag on it roughly, took off the coat wrapped in the sports uniform smartly, moved his arms, and looked solemnly at the players active on the basketball court We sweep away.

Looking across the sweaty faces, he squinted and searched for the figure with little presence.

However, after scanning back and forth several times, he finally confirmed that Heizi was not there.

"Hey, Lord Vulcan, come here quickly!" Lizi, who was standing on one side of the basketball court, was instructing the players to do warm-up exercises, glanced sideways at Vulcan, who was stunned on the side, and couldn't help shouting at Vulcan across half of the court. , "Training has begun!"

"Understood." Nodded to Lizi, Vulcan trotted all the way to Lizi's side, frowned and glanced at the hot-blooded faces on the court again, and couldn't help but look down at the serious-looking Lizi in front of him, "That , Coach, didn’t Heizi come to practice today?”

"Huh?" With her hands on her hips, Lizi glanced sideways at Vulcan, caught the dark cloud entangled on the opponent's face, and couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

Turning her head to look at the people who were training on the basketball court, she carefully identified them for a moment, and said with a surprised face: "Hey, yes, Mr. Heizi is not here today."

It is slightly different from the usual sense of presence——

This time, Heizi did not come.

"Did Heizi-jun and Vulcan-jun say anything?" With her big eyes open, Lizi looked at the Vulcan with a serious face beside her, whose face was getting darker, and asked wonderingly, "You are in the same class, right?"

Silently squinting, Vulcan's gaze was gradually replaced by a touch of complexity.

"He... didn't come to class today." Wei Wei clenched his fists, Vulcan replied dully, without any intention of exchanging eyes with Li Zi.

"Didn't come to class?..." Muttering, Lizi raised her slender eyebrows, "Are you sick?..." Stretching out her hand to caress her chin, Lizi smacked her lips while shaking her head, "No...wait for Mr. Heizi Come back, it is really necessary to make a separate training plan for him, his physique is really..."

"Coach, I'm off to practice." But before Lizi finished speaking, Vulcan interrupted her calmly.

"Oh...well." Reiko stopped unexpectedly, looking at the back of Vulcan who went away silently, a hint of confusion gradually appeared on her brows.

**

Half an hour later, after instructing everyone to warm up, Lizi stood outside the sideline, frowned and stared at everyone on the field. She straightened her slender body, took a deep breath, and then shouted loudly at everyone on the field. Hu: "Everyone pay attention! Although there are no major games like inter-high or wintercup in these two weeks, there is still a friendly match that needs everyone to prepare well!"

Hearing the earth-shattering voice, the boys on the basketball court stopped in their tracks one after another, and turned their heads to look at the serious Reiko to one side in puzzlement.

"Friendly match?" Captain Hinata pushed his glasses while reaching out to wipe the sweat that was dripping from his forehead.

"To be exact, it's a challenge." The corners of Lizi's lips curled up delicately, and her face burst into a sunny smile. "A high school sent us a challenge letter!"

"Eh?--"

"True or fake?..." Xiao Jinjing pursed his cat's lips, with a look of astonishment, "I thought that inter-high and so on have been played almost all of them..."

"You idiot!" However, as soon as he finished his sentence, Hinata Kazuki slapped him on the top of his hair, "How could it be possible to finish all of them? There are only a few of the more than 300 colleges and universities that have confronted us, aren't they?"

"Ah? But the teams that have fought against us are all teams of comparable strength to the 'Generation of Miracles'... Then the rest of the high schools, wouldn't it be easy for us to——Wow!"

Before he finished speaking, Hinata made another slam down.

Yi Yuejun beside him sighed helplessly.

Vulcan held the basketball expressionlessly, staring at the basket on one side without saying a word, with a solemn expression.

"Huh, Lord Vulcan? Didn't you hear?" Xiao Jinjing felt that he was the only one being criticized, which was a bit pitiful. "We have a challenge to fight!"

Facing a challenge, Vulcan, who is usually enthusiastically off-line, was stunned by the silent side, and he couldn't help frowning unexpectedly.

Hearing someone calling him, Vulcan froze for a moment before recovering.

"Challenge?" Shrugging, he spun the basketball deftly, and said lightly, "It doesn't matter, we are going to win anyway."

Looking at Vulcan's complicated face, Hinata who was standing beside raised his eyebrows puzzled.

"Hey, Vulcan, are you okay?" Hinata walked up to him with concern, and reached out to pat his shoulder.

"It's okay." Shaking his head with a gloomy expression, he stretched out his hand to pull up the collar of his sportswear, wiped the sweat on his face quickly, and turned his head to look at the handsome Lizi, "Hey coach, that challenging high school ,what name?"

"Hmm...it seems to be called Xiangyue High School." Rolling her eyes, Reiko tried hard to remember.

"Xiangyue?...Never heard of it." Yi Yuejun rubbed his hair with his hand and shrugged.

"It doesn't matter if he smells better or worse, if you come to challenge, beat him back to his hometown!" Clenching his fists, Vulcan's face was sullen, and his voice was firm.

"Hahaha, umm, that's the momentum." Lizi put her hands on her hips, nodding her head in satisfaction, "You can look up what games they have played before, and study their usual tactics and strategies."

Everyone on the field nodded while gradually returning to the previous sports atmosphere.

However, just as Lizi was about to switch the team members to the next training program, the gate of the basketball court not far away suddenly made a sudden creaking sound.

Immediately afterwards, the strong light from the external corridor slowly infiltrated along the edge of the wide open door.

Several people on the field stopped and looked towards the door with confusion.

Vulcan ran and jumped for the last time, flew up and slam dunked.

Holding the basket firmly with his arms, he hung on it and dangled for a while, then landed firmly.

There was a loud blunt sound in his ears, and Vulcan panted loudly and adjusted his breathing, while following the eyes of everyone, he looked towards the door.

——Beside the door, stood two figures, one tall and one short.

Vulcan stretched out his hand to roughly wipe the sweat beads that kept sliding down the curve of his face, and narrowed his eyes absently to identify the two.

However, when his eyes fell on the short man, Vulcan felt his nerves tremble violently.

Subconsciously moving his Adam's apple, he slowly straightened his body and stared dumbly at the person at the front door.

After being stunned for a long time, he murmured sluggishly:

"Hei, Heizi..."
