The first match came to an end amidst the enthusiastic response.

Because the cement company needed to reorganize the venue, the game entered a break.

In the corridor outside the venue, Bombardment Scorch stood in front of a vending machine that sold drinks. His eyes wandered back and forth between the dazzling lineup of products. He seemed to have some difficulty choosing.

The referee, Hawkes, who happened to come here for a walk, had his hands in his pockets and greeted Bombardment Scorch with a casual smile. "Oh, Bombardment Scorch, what a coincidence.

How is Mr. Andwar these days? "

Bombardment Scorch knew that Hawkes and Andwar had been keeping in touch. Although the relationship between the two had always been subtle, it was definitely not malicious. Therefore, in response to this seemingly provocative greeting, Bombardment Scorch politely replied to Hawkes, "He's fine, thank you for your concern."

"Haha, don't worry about it. It's break time now, so I came out for a walk. I didn't expect to see you here.

Do you want to buy something to drink? "Hawkes didn't mind Hong's coldness.

Hawkes seemed to have noticed Hong's hesitation just now. Therefore, he started to recommend a drink to Hong, "This classic barley tea is really good. It's very delicious, especially among the young people nowadays. Do you want to try it?"

Barley tea?

Super popular among the young people?

…

Bombardment Scorch was skeptical.

As for barley tea, Hong Jiaojue was quite fond of it …

However, Hong had a clear understanding of how unconventional he had always been. Looking at the barley tea in the transparent glass cabinet that was filled with an ancient flavor, he really didn't think it was a drink that people of Dong Yun's age would like.

Especially for the current No. 1

HERO. Under Hawkes' sly gaze, Hong increasingly felt that he couldn't press the button in front of him.

The scene was a bit awkward.

Seeing that the Bombardment Scorch didn't make a move, Hawkes shrugged helplessly. His expression seemed to be annoyed that his prank didn't work.

His hands moved quickly past the Bombardment Scorch and poured three bottles of fiber replenishing sports drinks. "Forget it. You guys still have a competition in the morning. Let's drink this."

Three bottles of fiber replenishing sports drink, Baote, fell to the loading dock with a clang.

"My treat," Hawkes gestured for Bombardment Scorch to take it, his signature smile still on his face.

Unlike Ormet's encouraging smile, Hawkes's cynical smile always seemed to have some unfathomable meaning behind it.

"Take it as an apology for teasing you earlier … But, do your best in the competition, I have high hopes for you guys."

Although Hong did not understand the reason, he still politely thanked him.

Hawkes waved his hand, turned around gracefully, and …

"Alright, I'm going back to the arena. Goodbye, Andwar's son!"

The second match of the competition.

Compared to the first match, the battle between No. 3 and No. 4 teams was obviously much more conventional. The professional heroes in the audience could finally maintain their dignified image and began to do what they were supposed to do:

This player's use of personality is still too rigid. I need to pay more attention in the future!

This method of attack was too direct. Occasionally, one had to be a little more careful in order to achieve better results in battle.

Hey, which team are these two rookies from? I'll personally ask the person in charge to give him some advice.

…

Hong found Tōun and Kurokawa in the audience. The match between No. 3 and No. 4 teams was already halfway through.

He sat down in the empty seat beside the two and handed the drinks that Hawkes had just bought to Tōun and Kurokawa.

Tōun's eyes lit up when he saw the fiber drink given to him by Hong.

Bombardment Scorch saw that Tōun was clearly very happy but did not take action. He suppressed his slight nervousness and asked indifferently, "Why, don't you want to drink?"

Kurokawa, who was at the side, gave Bombardment Scorch face and unscrewed the drink. He took a big gulp and explained to Tōun in a good mood, "Yyoi is so excited that he can't speak. After all, this is his favorite."

Bombardment Scorch was silent. He went against his will and swallowed the original sentence of "Senior Hawkes bought this for you". He planned to never tell the truth.

Kurokawa, who was still very talkative, said, "Although Yyoi's personality is not usually used, it is necessary to supplement it appropriately. Cellulose can make him better use of his personality.

But he doesn't like to use his personality, so he always forgets. Hahahaha, Senior Hong is still the most attentive. "

Hong nodded, indicating that he took Kurokawa's words to heart. When he saw that Tōun finally started to drink the drink, he turned his attention to the competition.

Kurokawa seemed to be carefree and didn't care about this little episode, but his curiosity was like a cat scratching at his heart.

Since Senior Hong was sitting next to him, he didn't dare to act rashly. He could only take out his phone and send a message to Tōun quickly. Then, he used his shoulder to gently nudge Tōun's head, reminding him to look at his phone.

[Baga Kurokawa]

Kurokawa Masaomi: Mi, how did Senior Hong know that you like fiber drinks? From what I understand, you definitely didn't tell him …

Yyoi Higashikuma: Yeah, I didn't say that.

Kurokawa Masaomi: Then Senior Hong found out by himself!!!

Yyoi Higashikuma: I didn't drink it the last time I was on a business trip …

Kurokawa Masaomi: (= =) …

Yyoi Higashikuma: Coincidence, right?

Kurokawa Masaomi: That's really strange … I thought that if Senior Hong wanted to buy drinks, he would definitely buy an antique drink like buckwheat tea …

Yyoi Higashikuma: …

After that, Tōun put his phone back. His action was very obvious: I don't want to talk to you anymore!

Kurokawa, who didn't get anything out of him, silently cried in his heart. He could only continue to watch the competition helplessly.

Presente was still dutifully explaining in a super loud voice.

The competition was about to enter the face-off stage. One member from each team was defeated, and the remaining four members were engaged in a 1v1 final duel.

But at this time, Kurokawa's eyes stopped on Hawkes, who was hovering in the air and monitoring the entire field.

He still looked the same. He had a pair of dark red wings, his blonde hair was ostentatious and eye-catching, and he was wearing a plush coat. He didn't mind showing off his pride and confidence.

Even though his handsome face seemed to always have a smile on it, this smile would never stain his deep eyes under the tinted windshield goggles.

Even though he was young, he definitely lived up to his title of No.1.

The title of Hero.

Strong, confident, full of charm.

Hawkes, who was still acting as a referee, seemed to sense something. He turned his head and looked at the audience.

His eyes were in the air, and he accurately looked at Senior Hong's position. The corner of his mouth raised into an even more flamboyant smile.

Kurokawa met Hawkes' eyes and was startled by this familiar smile. He quickly looked away from Hawkes and quickly typed on his phone.

[Baga Kurokawa]

Kurokawa Masaomi: I know!

Kurokawa Masaomi: It's Mr. Hawkes!!!

Kurokawa Masaomi: Ahhhhhh, it must be Mr. Hawkes who told Senior Hong.

Yayoi Higashikuma: …

Yayoi Higashikuma: It's not like he can't say anything.

Kurokawa Masaomi: O. O.

Kurokawa Masaomi: Then aren't you worried that Mr. Hawkes might have said something else???

Kurokawa Masaomi: Like how we got into Anderwa Partners, and so on …

Yayoi Higashikuma: He definitely won't say anything.

Yayoi Higashikuma: Because he doesn't think it's fun to say it directly.

Kurokawa Masaomi: …

Kurokawa Masaomi: I should say it.

Kurokawa Masaomi: As expected of Hawkes …

Bombardment Scorch's words interrupted Tōun and Kurokawa's online conversation. "After this competition, we'll go backstage to prepare.

The number eight team we'll be fighting against is Monogama Nin and his two twin juniors. They're two years older than you. Have you met them in Hero? "

Tōun: No, I haven't met them in school. But before you came, Kurokawa had already 'chatted' with them.

Kurokawa: … Who would know about those two rookies?

Bombardment Scorch saw that the two didn't reply, so he continued, "It's fine if you haven't met them. There are so many people in Hero. It's not easy to know all of them.

However, Monogama Nin's personality can be replicated. He can replicate the personality of anyone he comes into contact with.

Although he's a little neurotic, he's still quite strong. Plus, his personality can be very difficult to deal with in a team battle. You'd better be mentally prepared. "

At the mention of Monogama, Tōun was still brooding over his provocation.

Although Tōun himself felt that his personality was a little weak, he didn't want to be mocked by an irrelevant neurotic. So he couldn't help but whisper, "Even if I don't use my personality, I can still send him flying."

"Huh?" Bombardment Scorch looked at Tōun, who was full of resentment.

When did this guy become so violent?

Presente: "The second round of the competition is over!!!

The winning team is * * * — "

(Sorry, extras don't have names …)

Presente: "After some simple tidying up of the venue, the next round will be the competition between number five and number six!

… "

"…"

"V — — S — —"

"Night Haze Tao Zuo, Kemi, Mao Yuan, Chang Chang — —"

Hearing the familiar names, Bombardment Scorch's pupils trembled slightly. It was rare for him to show his warlike side on his face, "Tōun, if there are no surprises, they should be our opponents in the second round."

"This Night Haze Tao Zuo … It seems that we've finally gotten what he wanted."
