Hope Synaesthesia

Chapter 6

"I heard that today is the day the sequel to the highly acclaimed game is released. Since I'm bored during the holidays, I might as well go buy it."

Due to the above reasons, Naegi Makoto, who had been idling at home since graduating from middle school, finally broke free from his inexplicable depression and walked out of the house.

?

The weather of the month still carried the chill of late spring, and the air was moist with the smell of soil after the rain. He lowered his head and looked at the road beneath his feet as he slowly walked forward step by step.

He heard that there was a student in Hope Peak Academy who had the talent of a super high school-level gamer.

Hope Peak was a super high school-level elite school. Of course, every new student would be the focus of society's attention. Clues could be found in the online media, newspapers, magazines, and the conversations of the people around him.

When Naegi Makoto was notified of his admission, he had searched for a lot of information about the school on the internet: school history, resources, famous graduates, classmates in the same year, and even information about seniors who had enrolled a few years ago.

It was incredible. In a normal school, playing games was often seen as an unprofessional activity. However, in that super elite school, it was seen as a valuable talent and was carefully cultivated.

It wasn't entirely accurate to say that this was a mockery of contemporary education, because the most common method was definitely the most suitable for the masses. It was the most optimal method in the standardized cultivation of talents. As for the super high school-level students, they were the chosen ones who stood out from the masses. They were the extreme values in the big data and shouldn't be treated with common sense.

If it weren't for this unexpected lucky event, Naegi Makoto would have been enrolled in a local high school.

It was a school with good grades, but no matter how good its reputation was, it was still a normal school. It belonged to the mediocre middle school category and was far from the elite and famous Hope Peak.

His fate was about to change here.

Miao Mu exhaled softly and scratched his head helplessly.

He thought that he would be very calm about this matter, but it seemed that he had overestimated himself. Words like "hope", "talent", "success" … these very powerful and far-sighted words were not something a mediocre middle school student like him could think about, but he just couldn't calm down.

Probably after knowing that he had been enrolled, or after being disturbed by some kind of dream night and day, he was looking forward to it, nervous, longing, worried, and excited. It was like he was possessed.

Hurry up and start school …

This kind of impatient mood should be closer to seeking relief.

He walked near the river embankment, his head full of thoughts. His eyes wandered aimlessly, looking at the pedestrians on the road, the young men and women playing under the river embankment, the reeds swaying in the wind, the flowing water … and the white-haired boy sitting alone on the railing of the long bridge.

Miao Mu's gaze, and he stopped walking.

He found that he was looking at him.

From the outside, the white-haired youth looked about the same age as him. He was pale and handsome, wearing a green hooded jacket, a casual shirt, trousers, and sneakers. There was a backpack by his feet. His style of dressing was slightly decadent and fashionable, but he had a gentle, soft, and clean temperament.

His gray-green eyes looked over, intentionally or unintentionally falling around him. His eyes were misty, and his ambiguous gaze lingered for a long time.

The color of his eyes was very soft and gentle, but looking closely, they seemed particularly deep.

His heart was pounding.

He felt a trace of anxiety and nervousness under that familiar gaze. His fingers curled slightly, but he didn't dare to make it too obvious. His body gradually stiffened.

Why was he embarrassed?

He didn't understand, just as he didn't understand why he couldn't move his gaze away from the other person's eyes. It was as if there was an invisible, solid bond between them.

But this was obviously illogical. Naegi Makoto remembered very clearly that this was the first time he had seen this person.

His body was separated from his mind.

His mind was still questioning over and over again.

He held his breath.

His blood flowed backward.

The sound of his heartbeat was getting louder and louder.

His will couldn't help but waver. He looked at the other person from a distance and subconsciously took a step forward. His lips were slightly open, and his eyes suddenly widened.

"… Danger!"

The motorcycle sped by, bringing up a cloud of dust. In the blink of an eye, Naegi Makoto saw the backpack by the other person's feet being snatched away.

The robber's movements were swift but extremely violent. The white-haired youth obviously didn't expect this unexpected disaster. He was confused and innocent. Just before he could react, his shoulder was hit, and his ankle hit the surface of the stairs in an extremely twisted posture. A trace of extreme pain appeared between his eyebrows. His body fell down, closed his eyes, and fell into the water without any struggle.

He really didn't struggle. The white-haired youth fell into the river, and a huge splash appeared on the surface of the water. However, he didn't know if he really didn't know how to swim or if he was scared silly. After he sank into the water, he didn't even make two movements. He just sank directly. Bubbles rose to the surface of the water one after another.

People immediately exclaimed by the embankment.

Save people or stop the robbers?

Naegi Makoto happened to be in the path that the robber had chosen to escape. Without any hesitation, he immediately took off his cumbersome jacket and threw it out. Then, he slid to the bottom of the embankment and jumped into the water to swim towards the place where the robber had fallen.

On the road, the robber grabbed his backpack with one hand and drove his motorcycle with the other. He watched as a jacket flew through the air, getting closer and closer to him. It inevitably hit his face.

Along with the burning pain came a dark vision.

"Damn it!"

How could he be so unlucky!

He cursed viciously.

If he remembered correctly, there was a bend in the road ahead. The robber steadied the motorcycle and immediately pulled off his jacket in a panic. It was not easy to remove the jacket from his head. Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the thick trees were already in front of him!

`Stop, stop, stop, stop, ahhhh! 'he cried in terror.

No!

There was no way to escape!

He closed his eyes in despair.

`Bang! '

The stolen backpack flew to the bottom of the embankment and the motorcycle slid to the side of the road. Green leaves rustled down. The robber fell under the tree, his head covered in blood. He was already unconscious.

`Oh! '

Miao Mu took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and plunged into the water.

The cold river water surrounded him. He could not help but shiver slightly. Then, he immediately clenched his teeth and anxiously searched for the white-haired youth.

Fortunately, the river water was still clear. Miao Mu quickly found his position. The other party was floating in a semi-conscious state. There was a circle of water plants around his feet. His face was so pale that it was faintly green.

This was bad.

Miao Mu swam to his side, his heart full of panic.

He could not let anything happen to him.

He could not let him die here.

So … sorry.

His fingers touched the youth's pale cheeks. He made up his mind. Without hesitation, he lowered his head and kissed the lips that were also pale.

…

???

M-Dou woke up in intense pain.

His feet were in pain. It was most likely a sprained tendon. It was so swollen that he could not move at all.

His lungs were also in pain. It was as if thousands of needles were piercing his fragile alveoli one by one. The burning pain burned his chest.

His head hurt even more. Every nerve was stretched to the extreme. He could not bear the burden. All his cells were screaming hysterically for air.

In such extreme pain, his other senses should have long been far away from his consciousness.

However, a soft touch was close to his lips. Its existence was so clear that he could not ignore it. The tip of his tongue carefully poked out a little and licked his lips.??

M-Dou: "…"

His eyes slowly opened. His unfocused gaze gradually focused on the youth in front of him. His closed eyes were focused on his breathing. He looked unbelievably nervous and cautious. However, his eyelashes were trembling violently. He did not dare to look up at him at all. From the corners of his eyes to the tips of his ears were red.

From his clear eyes, he could see that??

His face was handsome, and his muscles were smooth.

Seeing that he had regained consciousness, the other party was obviously relieved. He immediately let go of him. After hesitating for a moment, he mouthed "sorry" and immediately swam down to deal with the water plants.

… Why did he apologize?

It was as if all the tendons and tendons in his body were tangled up. He was held in someone's hand and fiercely twisted around.

His body stiffened, his blood turned cold, and his cells trembled.

His vision turned black.

In the extreme pain, there was a trace of extremely inconspicuous pleasure overflowing. It swept through his body like an electric current, stimulating him to the point where he could not make a sound.

In this extreme state where he was close to fainting,??

Fresh air rushed into his lungs. Droplets of water flowed from his forehead to his eyelashes. He closed his eyes. After a long time, he broke away from the daze of surviving a disaster.

"Well done, young man!"

"Hey —!

This is too dangerous!

You should wait for the adults to come over! "

"Is the person who fell into the water still conscious?

Do you need to call an ambulance? "

His body drifted little by little in a direction due to the buoyancy. The clamor on the shore entered his ears.??
