……

The final four selection, the first round.

Since the decisive battle between Anqiu Asakura vs. Tomoki Kobayashi ended with Anqiu losing consciousness, according to the promotion system, of course, the first match of the quarterfinals will be Kyoki Shirama vs. Tomoki Kobayashi.

And this battle is very unfavorable to Bai Jian - that is natural, because Kobayashi originally has a higher talent than Bai Jian in using personality, and his reaction ability and physical fitness are also very good, So when the same capture battle was transferred from An Qiu to Bai Jian, Bai Jian, who was not as good as An Qiu in physical fitness, quickly showed a disadvantage.

What's even worse is that Bai Jian's ability was exposed as early as in the first duel. In that match, she relied on the advantage of "the dagger doesn't know her own ability" many times to beat the dagger. In terms of combat effectiveness, she herself does not have a complete grasp of the explosive clay.

Therefore, when Kobayashi, who had mastered her personality, launched a full-scale vigilance against her, Bai Jian had almost no chance of meeting him—and therefore, Bai Jian, who was not good at escaping, was caught by Kobayashi's in the first 5 minutes. The branch was caught.

"...Woo!" Bai Jian's calf was grabbed by the branch of Xiao Lin's growth, and she fell to the ground in the center of the field in an instant when she was in the running posture——and after that, she was caught by Xiao Lin before she had time to break free. She hung upside down.

Just like An Qiu's scene, the moment the branch touched Bai Jian's calf, it continued to proliferate as if it were alive, winding upwards, and soon wrapped her whole body, Bai Jian felt that her body was being hardened. The branches squeezed, suffocated with pain—

"What should I do..." Bai Jian narrowed her eyes, and looked at the thick branches growing out of Xiao Lin's hands with difficulty. With this number of branches entangled her body, it became extremely difficult for her to even breathe, like An Qiu. The personality that can escape, the preparation for the "big move" was also killed by Kobayashi's offensive before the start——

"That's it." After successfully catching Bai Jian, Xiao Lin stood there without breathing. Tired, it would be quite easy for him to catch her, right?

On the contrary, she felt that she was about to be puked by his moves—the pain came from all the limbs of her body, and listening to the cheering sound from the audience who didn't know when it stopped, Bai Jian felt like She is a weak animal exposed to the spotlight, and she is filled with resentment and fear, but she has nowhere to escape.

Is it the end of the beginning?A hint of helplessness flashed across Bai Jian's eyes, no, at least she had to try to struggle, she couldn't just give up like this!

Thinking of this, Bai Jian ignored the branches wrapped around her wrists, and stretched out her wrists from the cracks between the branches with all her strength, the dry and stiff bark cut her wrists, causing pain She burst into tears, even so...

Bai Jian quickly thought about his escape method in his mind - if he made a large amount of explosive clay at this time, and detonated the clay in Xiao Lin's hands, it might be able to destroy the branches, although it would affect himself, but that would Maybe it can bring a new light to the battle...

Pushed by Kobayashi, Baijian quickly scratched the palm of his hand with his nails, and then shot a large amount of clay on Kobayashi's branches——

"I won't let you succeed!" Seeing Bai Jian's dying struggle, Xiao Lin hastily used his personality to increase the length of the trunk, and Bai Jian was held tightly by him and hung in the air. Losing control over the trajectory of the clay, she had a startled expression on her face, and in the next moment, Xiao Lin threw it out of the field like a ball——

With a sound of "Boom--", Bai Jian was thrown out of the field by the whole person, and her back slammed into the wall of the field. She felt a buzzing in her head, her thoughts were confused, and she almost fainted...

Then, Bai Jian, who was a little confused, heard thunderous applause from outside the arena, the audience shouted Xiao Lin's name, and Mr. Mike immediately announced the obvious result: [...WOW!Kobayashi's decisive attack, the game came to a conclusion in the first 7 minutes, and the winner was - Mr. Kobayashi! ]

Bai Jian fell down and sat on the ground. Gradually coming back to her senses, she stared straight at Xiao Lin who had knocked her out with overwhelming ability. She only felt that the little bit of self-confidence she had built up this morning was gradually being shattered. off...

Over there, Mr. Mike was still doing the job of commenting responsibly, and the audience all focused their admiring eyes on Xiao Lin, while Bai Jian, who was thrown off the field, got up from the ground unwillingly, and climbed up the field in pain. The wall outside was spitting acid water, and she finally escaped Xiao Lin's bondage. Her body felt uncomfortable and unwell.

In the battle just now, she didn't even have a chance to fight back, and her unwillingness almost suffocated her.

"...Student, can you still go? Please follow us to the medical room for examination."

Bai Jian nodded, but didn't dare to raise his head, turned his back to the field, and went back to the backstage medical room with difficulty with the staff - and so on, Bai Jian went to An Qiu's resting room logically.

……

An Qiu, who was chatting with the recovery girl without a word, saw the white room brought in by the staff, smiled again, and looked at her with a concerned expression - she watched the battle in the white room on TV, Knowing that she lost to Kobayashi Tomoki just like her, she should be very unwilling now.

"Are you okay?" An Qiu asked her with an expression.

But when Bai Jian saw An Qiu, the depression he had just before disappeared without a trace in an instant.A satisfied smile appeared on Bai Jian's face, and he stuck out his tongue again: "...the opponent is too strong, I still need to work hard."

An Qiu shook her head: "You have done a good job."

Bai Jian nodded with a smile, and sat quietly and obediently on the hospital bed next to him.The recovery girl also approached with a smile, and reached out to her in a friendly tone: "I'll check your body right now."

After finishing speaking, she quickly touched and tapped Bai Jian, and after treating the scratches on Bai Jian's hands, she handed Bai Jian a few gummy bears: "You are fine! As long as you take care of yourself Rest is enough, pay attention to changing the gauze on the wound when you have time."

Bai Jian smiled and nodded, then asked cautiously: "Can I stay here with An Qiujiang?"

"Well, actually, Asakura-chan has also fully recovered, you two can go to the scene to watch the game together—" the recovering girl said kindly with a bright smile.

Bai Jian and An Qiu glanced at each other, and they naturally got together again.

……

...

Leave the medical room and go back to the auditorium.

The students in class A had already reserved places for An Qiu and Bai Jian. When An Qiu and Bai Jian came out, Sha Yuko hurriedly came up to comfort them: "You two are very good! Especially Bai Jian, unexpectedly Can advance to the quarterfinals! I was defeated by class B immediately..."

Shirama looked at Yuko Sha submissively, and explained with a helpless smile: "It's not... not so powerful."

"...Don't worry, Bai Jianchan, I've already taught Daoqie a lesson for you." Zhizhu next to him was smiling, remembering the scene of being despised by all the women in the class after Daoqie's defeat and returning to the stands, he raised the corners of his mouth and laughed wildly. Jitter: "Hahaha, I feel like I can always remember the embarrassing expression at that time until graduation—"

"So I'm going to be victimized together." Bai Jian immediately put on a sad expression.

"Haha, it's okay, you're only going to be popular." Zhi Zhu kneaded Bai Jian's cheeks again.

"Speaking of which, where is the game going now?"

"It's already the last match to decide the semi-finals, our class Kageyama-kun vs class B's Tachibana..."

Sha Yuko explained seriously, while Shirama nodded and listened, and then turned her attention to Kageyama on the playing field. Although she didn't pay much attention to the dynamics in the class, Kageyama knew about it.

He is the same as the boss of their class A, not to mention his excellent personality, good physical fitness, and good image. It is said that he was the first few to reach the finish line in the first round of obstacle course. That kind of person must be... definitely It is an existence that can shine at sports festivals.

Bai Jian was dazed in thought, and couldn't help thinking, how did she make it to the top sixteen?Sure enough, her luck today must have been too good... And just as she was deep in thought, she felt someone tugging on her sleeve. Bai Jian came back to her senses, and confronted An Qiu, who had been silent all this time. line of sight.

"...Someone is looking for you." An Qiu looked at Bai Jian calmly, then reached out to hold Bai Jian's cheek, and turned her head to the back of the stands, so that Bai Jian could find the boy who had been looking for her.

Bai Jian was taken aback for a moment, then caught off guard and met Hong who was waiting at the top of the auditorium. He just stood in the aisle behind the stands and looked at her. The warm wind blew across his face, and he was half red and half white. His soft short hair was tugged by the wind, making it impossible for Bai Jian to see his expression at the moment.

...It's Little Jiao Dong, I guess I want to tell her about the match just now.

Bai Jian's heart tightened.

"... Hurry up." An Qiu patted her on the head, gently urging her.

"Well, okay." She stood up cautiously again, and then walked towards the direction of Hong: "...I'll go find Mr. Hong."

An Qiu nodded, watching Bai Jian's disappearing figure, thinking to himself—if only that half-red and half-white boy could comfort Bai Jian well.

……

He didn't know how long Hong had been waiting for him, Bai Jian looked up at the half-red and half-white boy, and called him with a troubled expression: "...Sorry, I didn't find you."

"No." Hong narrowed his eyes and shook his head gently, as if noticing the tiredness on Bai Jian's face, and not wanting to delay her rest time, he said straight to the point: "I watched the game, what do you do?" Very well."

Bai Jian was startled, then pursed his lips and lowered his head a little, not speaking: "Whatever happened, it's all thanks to you."

Even though he said that, Hong felt that when Bai Jian said this, he seemed to lose his soul, and he was not in the same dimension as he was speaking.

The expression on Hong's face froze, and he was a little surprised that he didn't see the joyful expression he expected on Bai Jian's face—was she not reconciled because she couldn't continue to advance?But you must know that she is already very good at getting here. She became the top 42 in the obstacle race from the first grade, survived the horse riding battle, and passed the first individual battle...

Thinking of this, Hong stretched out his hand and patted her shoulder again, and corrected her: "...Don't be depressed, the top eight is already a very good result, you just mastered a new way of fighting, work harder next year, You've done a good job."

You have done a good job—this is the words Bai Jian heard for the first time. Hearing this, her heart tightened, and she looked at Hong with confused eyes: "Can I really climb up?" ?”

Bai Jian stretched out her hand and looked at the bandage wrapped by the recovery girl. Many things flashed through her mind, making her eyes red again: "Just now, after I was caught by classmate Xiao Lin, I There was no way to fight back, and it was hard for me to be watched by so many people."

For the past week, she had tried her best to keep up with everyone's pace, but she never expected that her best effort...was easily broken by others.

"...An Qiujiang assisted me in the first round of the obstacle race, and the second round of the horse riding battle was also helped by my teammates... I was snatched by Dao Qiesang because of my negligence, and An Qiu wanted us to advance , so she used a particularly energy-consuming move, presumably, this should be the reason why she couldn't beat Kobayashi..."

Bai Jian's head hangs low, she looks like a child who has done something wrong, her voice is trembling: "Maybe I don't have the ability to climb here at all, everything today is just luck, because of your help With An Qiujiang and the others..." Hong and An Qiu sent the weak girl to the stage of individual battles. Although she was clever and narrowly defeated the knife, she was forced to see the reality again in Xiaolin's battle—— Bai Jian thought so.

"...Maybe this is my limit." Her voice was very fragile and helpless, looking at Bai Jian's shrugged shoulders, she felt distressed.She has really worked hard. Since she got the opportunity to receive special guidance two weeks ago, she has been training from morning to night, and repeated. Standing at the closest distance to observe, I am sure that Bai Jian has worked very hard.

She worked so hard that people couldn't bear to tell her to "keep working hard".

Looking down at Baijian's trembling shoulders from above, it's not hard to imagine that she must be crying unwillingly now.For such a hard-working child, what can he do for her?

Standing calmly in front of her, Hong calmly flashed many clips of his two weeks of training with her, and finally, he came up with an answer in his scorched heart, and asked softly: "...Baijian, have you already Tired?"

——Her crying stopped suddenly, and she didn't answer Hong's question right away.is she tiredNo, she's not tired yet, she still has the strength to move forward, it's just because she feels the difference in strength...

"...Don't you want to chase your goal anymore?" Hong asked her again. At this moment, his expression was calm and gentle, and his voice was very soft, but somehow it passed into Bai Jian's heart.

...a target?In Bai Jian's mind, the reliable appearance of her parents wearing heroic costumes, her once happy family, and her mother's warnings to her over and over again—she thought of the countless times she wanted to give up, but failed. Still getting up myself.

And just to be worthy of herself, she must continue to pursue that goal.Finally, Bai Jian's bewildered eyes changed, and the panic just now gradually disappeared. She stabilized her shoulders that were trembling from crying, and shook her head almost invisible: "No, I can't stop."

Hearing her stubborn words, finally there was a smile on Hong's face, he stretched out his hand to pat her head lightly, and a big warm hand reached the back of her head: "Bai Jian, needless to say, I can't stop. "

"As long as you still have the strength to move forward, I will always be with you, and if one day you want to rest, I will rest with you."

Hong spoke slowly and sincerely, what he was thinking about in his mind was the classmates and important people who had accompanied him through all kinds of big and small things by his side during the two years since he joined Xiongying, and at this moment he——he hoped very much to pass on this warmth to The white room struggling alone.

"You are not alone anymore. Although the goal seems far away, I will work hard with you." Hong's blue and gray pupils are written with tenderness and doting: "This will not be your limit, you will climb as fast as you can." higher."

...Baijian's expression froze.For some reason, Hong's sincere words shook her heart like a spell.

Will she climb higher?Bai Jian raised his head and carefully looked at Hong Jiao Dong in front of him, and seeing a little confusion written in those moist eyes, Hong pursed his lips and smiled again: "Keep working hard, I will always be by your side."

This is undoubtedly a booster.

Shirama felt that the darkness in his heart was gradually being expelled——

Since it was Hong who said this to her, she should continue to believe it——Thinking like this, Bai Jian wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes again, and then showed a sincere smile to Hong Zhan: "Are you ready?"

"Well, we've made an appointment."
