Undifferentiated Elimination
Chapter 9
As expected, during the first class of the first day of school, I became popular.
The news of me violently beating up Durian King spread like wildfire right after the class ended. Coupled with my unobtrusive appearance, at least the students of the Hero stream could call out my name when they see me.
"So, you beat up that Explosive Tyrant Sheng Ji?"
During lunch, Crystal-kun also asked me this question. I nodded and smiled as I received the pork chop rice that was twice the size of a normal pork chop.
"That guy is too arrogant, but his eyesight is pretty good."
I casually found a seat and sat down, and casually picked up the spoon handle.
The food in Xiong Ying High School was pretty good. The pork chop rice wasn't greasy, and it was crispy in the mouth. The taste of the pork and seasoning wrapped around the tongue was simply too blissful.
"But it's a bit sad that no one came to talk to me after class … It's probably because I left a bad impression when I beat up Explode." I smiled helplessly at Crystal-kun.
"But it's good that I still have you. Even if you made new friends, don't forget about me."
"… I know." Crystal-kun ate a mouthful of curry rice and slowly said, "Actually, I didn't make any friends.
"Actually, I haven't made any friends. Due to my unique personality, I control everyone who talks to me."
"Then we are quite similar." I nodded and scooped up a spoonful of pork chop rice.
"But only you can talk to me without any defense …" Crystal-kun muttered softly, and the tips of her ears seemed to have turned red.
"You will make new friends eventually. Crystal-kun should learn to be more cheerful."
Crystal-kun nodded, but suddenly thought of something. She put down the spoon in her hand and asked me seriously:
"Actually, I want to ask you a question …"
"What's the problem?" I had a bad premonition.
"So Haya-kun is Teacher Aizawa's illegitimate son?"
Pa, my spoon fell on the table.
"… Crystal-kun, who did you hear that from?"
My smile was a bit twisted. Although I know that the spread of public opinion will gradually mislead people, isn't this a bit too much?
Wait, could this be the reason why no one dares to approach me?!
"Isn't that right?
Sure enough, that's the case. "Xin Zhou expressed that he understood and continued to eat the curry rice quietly.
'Looks like I have to correct my classmates' impression of me when I have the time. '
Xiongying School was a compulsory class in the morning. It was the same as the classes for ordinary high school students.
As for the afternoon class, it was Hero Basics that the students were most looking forward to.
It was said that the teacher was the number one hero, Ormet. On the eve of class, the students looked very excited. They were all rubbing their hands together as they waited for Ormet's arrival.
"I'm coming!!
He came in through the door like a normal person!! "
… They were just as passionate as before.
Hearing the cheers and applause from all around, I also clapped my hands energetically.
"I didn't expect Ormet to really come to Xiongying to teach!"
"I see the real person!!!"
Everyone liked Ormet … Was my reaction a little too cold?
It felt like I didn't fit in with this class.
"Enoshima -san also likes Ormet?"
A clear female voice sounded beside me. I raised my head and looked to the left. A girl with short brown hair was looking at me with her head tilted.
… The first person to talk to me appeared!
"Yeah, I like him a lot." I nodded and tapped my fingers on the table lightly.
"Everyone likes Ormet. After all, he is the number one hero."
But it would also be very tiring. No matter what, you have to carry the heavy burden of being an idol. Even if you want to cry, you have to laugh. This is really not free at all.
"Chako Hikari -san, is your personality related to gravity?"
I held my chin with one hand and looked at Chako Hikari -san with a smile.
"Yes … Eh?
Do you know my name? "Hikari looked at me with a confused expression.
"I know the name of every student in the class." I said.
"After all, I have always wanted to be friends with everyone … But it seems to be very difficult.
But it is also my own problem … "
Saying this, my face faintly showed a sad expression. Hikari -san paused for a moment, then patted my shoulder with a serious face.
"It's not like that!!
That's because everyone doesn't know Enoshima -san!
Maybe everyone misunderstood Enoshima -san that day … Anyway, after getting along with each other for a long time, they will definitely be friends with you!! "
— — Unexpectedly pure and cute.
I moved my finger slightly, blocking the position where the corner of my mouth was raised.
After that, Ormet took us to do battle training.
Hero Basics was the subject with the highest credits, which also showed that the teachers in this school emphasized on the students' personality training.
"Um, before class, can I ask you a question?" When the teacher was about to let us take the battle uniform, Chako Hikari suddenly stopped me.
"What question?" I had a bad feeling for a moment while maintaining a smile.
"Um … So Enoshima -san is Aizawa -sensei's illegitimate child?"
The moment Hikari's voice fell, I could feel everyone's eyes focused on me, even the durian classmate who had a grudge with me quietly pricked up his ears.
So what gave you the illusion that I was Aizawa -sensei's illegitimate child?
Our hair color and eyes color are different, and Aizawa -sensei only looks lazy, but he really isn't that old, right?
"No, we are just living together." I shook my head and said.
The atmosphere in the class seemed to relax a little, but suddenly became tense again after a moment.
"Living together??
Is it the kind of living together that I imagined? "
"No, I don't know, I keep feeling that it is just a simple living together relationship, Aizawa -sensei wouldn't be that good to him …"
… Are the students of Class A all so imaginative?
"Then let me explain!!!"
Ormet's deep voice sounded, and everyone's gaze focused on him.
"Enoshima -san's family situation isn't good, and his parents aren't around. Plus, his grades are excellent, and his personality is similar to Aizawa -sensei, so the school arranged for Enoshima -san to live with Aizawa -sensei."
"So!!!
Even so, Enoshima -san is still very outstanding!!
Seeing Enoshima -san working so hard, shouldn't we work harder to train ourselves!! "
The moment Ormet's voice fell, the students in the class stood up excitedly and responded to Ormet's words.
"I didn't think!
Enoshima -san is this amazing! "The red-haired Chijima-kun put his arm around my shoulder and said as if they were close friends.
"We misunderstood you before, we thought you were a violent person … We're sorry for giving you the cold shoulder!" Ida-san who was wearing glasses also apologized to me.
"Your Taijutsu is great!
If you have time, we can exchange pointers! "Setsuru Fanta also said.
"It's okay, I don't mind."
I said politely, and I caught the gratified smile on Ormet's face.
Did he say that on purpose?
"Since that's the case, then please put on your battle suits and prepare for battle!!"
Ormet said, and everyone clenched their fists and excitedly went to get their battle suits.
Speaking of combat uniforms, after I filled in my personality, I wrote down the requirements for ease of movement and comfort. With my personality, I didn't need a specific combat uniform. If I really had to, then Saidam-sensei's combat uniform would be pretty good.
However, I still received my battle suit … But when I held the three-piece shirt, vest, and windbreaker, I felt that the style was a bit different.
… Is this a battle suit??!!
A three-piece formal suit???
I seemed to vaguely see my master's shadow …
But when I opened my suit, I instantly understood the structure of this suit.
This suit was just an illusion. The inside of the windbreaker was filled with countless large and small pockets, and there were also pockets at the cuffs. For someone like me who liked to carry all kinds of small weapons, this was the best structure.
The vest was bulletproof, and although my personality was indiscriminate, I would still die if I got hit by a bullet.
So I gave it full marks.
The shirt was made of a new material, and it was slim-fit and comfortable. If I took off the windbreaker and fought with others, it wouldn't affect my movements at all.
But after wearing this suit, I clearly felt that I was getting closer and closer to the style of the people from Hong Kong … My master would be very pleased if he saw this.
"Next, I'll talk about the rules."
After we arrived at the training ground, Ormet took out a notebook from his pocket and began to talk about the rules.
"The setting is that the [enemy] has placed a nuclear weapon somewhere in the stronghold, and the hero has to eliminate this threat. The hero has to capture the enemy or retrieve the nuclear weapon within a set time, and the enemy has to capture the hero or protect the nuclear weapon within a set time."
"What an American setting … I don't know who complained in the crowd."
"Partners and enemies are decided by drawing lots … But we have an exception here."
Ormet said and looked at me.
"Enoshima will be separated into two groups. Because of his unique personality, after everyone has completed the training, I will find the best group to face off against Enoshima!!"
As soon as Ormet's voice fell, everyone's expression became more serious.
"Enoshima can also choose his partner from the crowd … This way, the number of people will be even." Ormet looked at me.
"Is this okay, Enoshima?"
"Of course, no problem." I nodded indifferently.
I could clearly feel Durian Head's heavy gaze on me, but I didn't pay attention to him. Instead, I studied the groups of partners.
I wasn't worried about Explode's hostility, because this competition might not necessarily be Explode's victory.
If the information was correct, he should be the fastest to complete the training.
