This is my revenge!

Volume 2: Chapter 45: The Specious "Beginning"

Changkong City, Qianyu Academy.

It's getting dark.

"Boom~"

In the basketball court of the school's indoor gymnasium, a white-haired young man was practicing shooting awkwardly.

He, Kevin, has had excellent motor skills since he was a child.

Since childhood, he has run faster than others and jumped farther than others.

But he thinks he only has brute force and is not cool at all.

He prefers to delve into "techniques".

And then... through your unremitting efforts, you will win that "moment of victory."

Recently, he started to pay attention to basketball.

Because he found that this sport would not work if it relied solely on brute force.

He felt that if he could pull it off, he would be proving himself.

Today, I will try it out.

At some point...

"唪~"

The basketball hit the net.

"Nice!"

Kevin clenched his right fist, the excitement on his face evident.

Even if it was just a simple shot.

Even so, the place where he just shot was very close to the basket.

But he was still very satisfied with the joy of victory.

Unfortunately, neither my best friend nor the girl I like is here today.

He couldn't share this joy with anyone else.

Sudden……

"Dong~dongdong~"

The basketball went into the net, fell to the ground, and bounced several times.

Eventually, it rolled to the edge of the basketball court.

Rolled to... another person's feet.

"what?"

Kevin was stunned for a moment.

Was there anyone else in this indoor basketball court just now?

How come I didn’t even notice it?

With such doubts in his mind, he raised his gaze and looked at the other person's face.

He was a black-haired young man with an ordinary appearance, at most a little handsome.

He... obviously can't compare to me in appearance... Kevin is not conceited, he is indeed confident in this aspect.

But for some reason, the aura emanating from the other person... that deep sense of mystery was something he was far from capable of.

Especially, those eyes, as if they had no focus, and looked at everything lightly...

"Here you go!"

Kevin was still daydreaming, but the other party had already picked up the basketball and threw it at him.

Kevin seemed to have a vague feeling.

It seemed that what the other party threw to him was not just an ordinary basketball.

Rather, it is an "opportunity".

"Second chance"!

"Oh, oh...thank you."

Kevin took the basketball and said thank you.

He was an extrovert by nature, and because he was confused, he immediately asked directly, "Are you the new transfer student?"

"I've never seen you before!"

"...and she's not wearing the Chiba Academy uniform."

Kevin didn't say the last sentence.

And hearing this...

"No, I just happened to be passing by."

The black-haired young man pulled the corners of his mouth, as if trying to show a more casual smile.

It seemed like he was no longer good at this sort of thing.

"I've been busy with a big project lately, and I finally finished it. Now that I have some free time, I want to go out and walk around."

That’s what the black-haired young man said.

"Huh? A big project?"

Kevin pointed at the other person, then at himself, and asked, "Are you the kind of person who does big business?"

"But you look about the same age as me."

“Life trajectories are just different.”

The black-haired young man shrugged. "Studying isn't necessarily the only way out... Of course, there are many people who want to study, but for various reasons, they can't achieve their wishes."

"...Uh, it seems I've talked too much."

He raised his hand and pointed to the gate of the indoor basketball court. "Your friend is here. I won't bother you any more. So, goodbye."

"Come on, hero of 'world salvation'."

"what?"

Kevin was stunned again.

Because at this time, the door of the indoor basketball court was still closed.

The soundproofing here is excellent.

So, Kevin couldn't hear the footsteps outside.

Naturally, you cannot perceive what is happening outside.

therefore……

"This...how did you know...Huh? Where are the people?"

Just by turning his head for a moment, Kevin found that the black-haired young man who had just been chatting with him had disappeared.

At this moment, the door just opened.

His best friend, Su, and the girl he liked, Mei, walked in together.

Unlike physically imbeciles like himself, Su and Mei are both more academic types.

So he and she get out of school late.

"Let's go, Kevin."

"It's time to go eat."

"Aren't we going to Eden's concert together tonight?"

"Time is running out."

Su and Mei approached and gave reminders at the same time.

But I saw that Kevin was still staring blankly in a certain direction.

He was still muttering, "Is this an illusion?"

"No reason... I haven't been staying up late lately."

"Could it be that I encountered a ghost..."

"Hey!"

"Wow!"

Kevin was startled when someone patted his shoulder.

He almost threw the basketball in his hand away.

Fortunately, when I saw that the person standing next to me was a friend, I quickly stopped.

"It's Su, why are you walking without making any sound?"

Kevin patted his chest and could still feel his heart pounding.

"You were just too engrossed. Mei and I were standing over there, calling you several times."

Su was speechless. "Come to think of it, what are you doing making such a fuss?"

Seeing him ask this...

"Uh, nothing."

Kevin scratched his head and said, "I just met a strange person."

"weirdo?"

Not far away, Mei slowly approached, "Why do you say that?"

"Because that person was still there just now."

Kevin gestured excitedly, "But when I turned around, the person was gone."

"..."

Mei had an expression that said, "Who would understand this?!"

"it is true."

Kevin argued loudly, "Before you came in, he reminded me that someone was coming..."

"Well, Kevin."

Su couldn't help but interrupt him, "Is it possible that this indoor basketball court in our school has only one entrance and exit?"

"That's the one Su and I just walked into." Mei added.

"Uh~"

Kevin choked.

If you think about it carefully, this is indeed the case.

Thinking about it again...hiss~it’s really scary when I think about it.

"I go."

He exclaimed, "Could it be that I really encountered a ghost?"

"But why is it a man?"

Mei: “Hmm?”

******

At the same time, outside Qianyu Academy.

A black-haired young man was walking side by side with a white-haired young man (?).
