The socially anxious girl doesn't want to stick to me!

Naritaji continued, ignoring the others: "I have heard of your name. You are one of the two geniuses in our intermediate department, standing shoulder to shoulder with the Emperor of the East China Sea. You may be very strong, stronger than all of us here. You are also very hardworking. I have heard more than once that you are still training in the middle of the night. Except for the popularity of the debut battle, I am better than you. For the rest, you are better than me in everything else."

"I know I may not be able to outrun you..."

"only."

Igarashi Sakuraba had a very bad feeling in his heart.

"I want to challenge you to a duel - Right now."

She saw the unyielding spirit burning in Naritaji's eyes.

The Emperor of the East Sea, Zhen Jiling, and Narita Road's friends all cast their eyes over and stared at the two people on the field.

Chapter 18: We must not lose!

"A match...right now."

Narita Road said so.

She knew that perhaps she had no way of defeating Igarashi Sakuraba. Indeed, the other party's deeds had been heard throughout the entire Tresen Academy. However, if she was afraid and retreated because the other party was too strong, then Narita Road would no longer be herself, but just a walking corpse wearing the name of Narita Road.

Igarashi Sakuraba did not answer immediately.

Just stand.

Just like that...the heterochromatic pupils looked at each other indifferently.

There were no words, no expressions, no reactions, and no sense of nervousness of being challenged.

It seems as if everything is within the grasp of the palm of your hand.

The Emperor of the East Sea could see that... she was not nervous. Was it because of her great strength? So when she was challenged, she was not nervous, because she only needed to show her strength to defeat it all! She thought.

Zhen Ling blinked his big eyes.

Seeing that his future roommate was in trouble... he then turned to look at the emperor, indicating if he needed help?

The Emperor of the East China Sea waved his hand bluntly.

Indicating that neither of them needed help - because Igarashi Sakuraba could handle it.

——What the hell can I do about it!

It’s almost enough to be able to lie flat!

In fact, Igarashi Sakuraba was not calm at all, and her heart started screaming like a groundhog again!

Hey, what are you two doing?

Not only the opening line, but right from the start, they wanted to challenge me? Who are you, sister? You appeared too suddenly. If it were in an ancient Greek novel, it would be a deus ex machina! ? Even if it were in an online novel, this trick should have been used before. How could the plot develop in the same way twice? How could someone come up with a reason to challenge me right after I arrived at the training ground?

Even if the readers are not tired of it, Igarashi Sakuraba is tired of it!

What are you doing?

and……

The situation this time is much more dangerous than the last time.

Last time, I was lucky. The Emperor of the East Sea suddenly appeared and helped me out of danger. But what about this time? Although the Emperor of the East Sea was right next to me, Igarashi Sakuraba was sure that she would not help me out again, including my future roommates. I must not put my hopes on these two people. Narita Road was the enemy I had to face in my debut battle and now... I could only rely on myself.

Can you run?

This thought was cut off as soon as it appeared.

Absolutely not!

My current strength is too low...I haven't even started to hone my skills.

Let’s not talk about whether we can beat Narita Road, just running will reveal our weakness.

not only that.

[Silas] The system also directly popped up a window reminder - [The opponent is detected to be too strong and it is difficult for the host to defeat it. Therefore, a task is issued. When the host defeats Narita Road, he will get a mysterious reward. ]

Is it possible that the system has come out to issue tasks?

How big is the difference?

Igarashi Sakuraba couldn't help but ask.

[Uh... probably a fight between a kindergarten student and a high school student. It's obvious who will win.]

[Silas] The system also "kindly" gave a combat power reminder.

--All right.

The difference is indeed quite obvious, and it is clear at a glance. The kindergarten student is Igarashi Sakuraba, and Narita Road is the high school student. No matter what, she absolutely has no way of beating Narita Road at the moment. The two are not on the same level in terms of strength, and are even several levels apart.

What should I do?

Now it’s not about whether you can get through... it’s about forcing someone to do something!

How can I refuse Narita Road if I can’t run?

The sincerity and indomitable spirit in her eyes seemed to indicate that this matter was not that simple.

Igarashi Sakuraba was thinking, and Narita Road's friend couldn't stand it anymore. After a long time without a response, she stepped forward and said, "Hey, are you going to run or not? Give me a definite answer, okay? Are you scared?"

Alas!

Igarashi Sakuraba was frightened again and almost took two steps back.

——She then pressed her feet firmly downwards, like a plant growing into the soil, making herself look like a bamboo and not being exposed so easily.

"Are you scared?" Immediately, another friend of Narita Road said the same thing.

Both of them stared at Igarashi.

The atmosphere was getting more and more booing...it felt like a done deal.

but.

Naritaji himself gently waved his hand, asking the two not to talk too much and to leave the choice to Igarashi Sakuraba. That was enough. She said seriously: "I want to run with you, right now."

“Don’t be in a hurry.” Igarashi Sakuraba could only pretend to be a big-tailed wolf.

He replied in a calm tone.

Naritaji tilted his head and continued to ask, "What are you in a hurry for?"

"Don't be in a hurry to welcome your failure." Igarashi Sakuraba replied.

She tried her best to control herself, to control her hands from shaking, to control her body from shaking, to not show any abnormality, and her back was covered in cold sweat. Igarashi Sakuraba was almost unable to stand. She could only feel her legs going weak, and her whole body was about to collapse like a boneless insect.

If someone could push or pull Igarashi Sakuraba now.

You can feel that the metaphor of collapsing is not an exaggeration - it is the real situation.

Naritaji stood there in a daze.

...I didn't know what to say for a moment.

She saw it. She saw the calm face and indifferent eyes of Igarashi Sakuraba, as if her challenge had not stirred anything. The stone did not make any splashes on the surface of the lake, but was swallowed by the deep sea.

...Am I nothing to her?

Not even worthy of being a rival to Igarashi Sakuraba! ?

Don't be in a hurry to welcome your own failure... Haha, what a crazy statement.

A nameless fire burned in Narita Road's heart - she gritted her teeth, clenched her fists, and let the strength in her body vent out.

however……

There was no time for Narita Road to speak.

Igarashi Sakuraba said slowly: "Don't be so anxious, and there is no need to taste the taste of failure in advance. I won't run with you today. If you want to beat me, then come on, I'll be waiting for you in the debut match. Try to give full play to your strength, kid."

And added a knife.

——The last name is extremely insulting.

Narita's expression suddenly calmed down, and her eyes also turned into the deep sea. She gradually absorbed the anger she had just felt, and her mentality became more and more stable. However, this did not mean that Narita did not want to defeat Igarashi Sakuraba. Now, the desire to win over her could no longer be simply described in words.

It's like opening Pandora's box.

unstoppable.

"I swear." Narita's words were as cold as ice, and his expression was also cold. He said coldly: "I will defeat you, I swear... I swear."

Say it.

Just turn around and leave without any hesitation.

Before leaving, her two friends stared at Igarashi Sakuraba, as if they wanted to memorize this person's face in the deepest part of their hearts, forever.

Too much pretense!!

Looking at Naritaji's leaving back, Igarashi Sakuraba, who was pretending to be a big wolf, suddenly came back to his senses.

I still dig my own grave the most! Although I have solved the current emergency, what if I lose to Narita Road in my debut? I will have to find a crack in the ground to crawl into, find a sewer, and be a rat man for the rest of my life, and I will never be able to turn over.

The key is……

——It’s over. This high school student is angry.

There was already a big gap in strength.

——What should I do! What should I do! This high school student will play a game of beating up a kid in front of everyone in six days! He will beat up a kid who is in the last year of kindergarten.

A sense of urgency was born.

Can't lose! Absolutely can't lose!

Chapter 19: Definitely! Definitely Win!

There are still three days until Igarashi Sakuraba's debut match.

……

Can't lose! Absolutely can't lose!

——That was what I originally thought.

just.

Rushing past the Amazon sign, Igarashi Sakuraba pressed the timing button, then looked at the number on the stopwatch. The expression on her face instantly turned into disappointment, and her face was wet with sweat. She supported her knees slightly, feeling the heat after her lungs once again broke through the limit, and feeling the fatigue and soreness all over her body.

It's four o'clock in the night.

Igarashi Sakuraba is still in training.

——Just to pray for the slightest chance of defeating Narita Road.

These past few days, during this period of time, she has been giving 120% of her energy and effort.

but.

Even though I tried so hard and pushed my body to the limit of load, the speed on the stopwatch was still very slow.

These are just mediocre numbers! A mediocre horse girl! How can I beat Narita Road and fulfill my promise? Thinking of this, I pressed the reset button on the stopwatch, clenched my fists, stood up, and fixed my eyes on the starting point. I wanted to go back to the starting point and do another round of training to make myself stronger.

just.

When I just started to move my legs...

The muscles that had reached their limit...lost control and just went limp.

And Igarashi Sakuraba simply knelt down.

so far so good.

There was no one else at the training ground in the middle of the night, and no one saw Igarashi Sakuraba's ugly appearance. Then, she wanted to stand up, but found it difficult to do so in a short time, so she had to lie flat in a "big" shape, and turned herself over, just looking at the stars.

seriously.

Igarashi Sakuraba Kaku believes that he has tried very, very hard.

These past few days I have been...training extremely seriously, training in the middle of the night, attending classes and studying during the day, trying to make myself stronger, without any laziness, without wasting time...still, to no avail.

How should I put it? Where should I start?

Becoming stronger is absolute.
