Partie 2

I can no longer hold myself back, tears burst forth like a flood that has broken its dam, and my heart roars: My Saturday! My task card!

On the second day, the sunlight broke through the shackles of darkness, covering the earth with dawn, and the gentle morning light awakened the sleeping people, dancing gracefully as it slipped through the gaps in the gauzy curtains into the room

I looked at Duforge with a silly smile, thinking to tell a cold joke to please him

I saw three figures falling down, so I hurriedly exerted all my strength to leap to the side. Little did I know that I accidentally knocked the thug swinging the baseball bat flying, and he crashed into the thick post of the tennis court fence, losing consciousness.

On the other side, Nicole and Havens were also captured by the thugs

Dufuge remained unappreciative, continuing to wear a cold expression, and said: "What nonsense, hurry up and come with me."

"Just know that." Duforge did not have the patience to engage with me; he said coldly, "Come with me."

I crouched on the ground, holding my head, my eyes blankly staring at the marks on the floor. Suddenly, countless images of Duforge roaring in my mind appeared, cursing me as an idiot, a moron, and brainless... But aren't the meanings of these three words all quite similar...

Romani then walked in front of Duforge, crossed her arms and tilted her face upwards, saying: "Mr. Duforge, you intend to take our good sister Greya to the restaurant, yet you disregard us?" She paid her respects to Duforge with the "tilted face courtesy" befitting a royal lady, "Shouldn't you take her good sister along as well? That would be in accordance with etiquette"

"Hey, little girl, do you know that the master is coming, so you are here waiting in advance, ready to entertain the master?" With her long, slanted hair, she leaned closer to Romani, revealing her fox-like, elongated face, immediately earning a piercing scream from Romani and desperate struggles.

As the classroom is located on the second floor and the tennis court is directly below, it is possible to clearly see everyone's expressions and hear their conversations

This is it, it's over! ... It will end very badly, unless Duforge is willing to help me and tell me about this mission, but Duforge ... . ... Countless images of Duforge roaring and cursing flashed through my mind, and I couldn't help but let out a heavy sigh

You are truly an expert, how did I not know this before

"You should not meddle in others' affairs!" The boy with long, slanted hair was backing away step by step, holding Romani, while I was approaching step by step.

In that moment, I inexplicably subdued five thugs, all of whom were either lying or sprawled on the ground, each foaming at the mouth

The three Romani women saw clearly, their eyes wide open as they exclaimed: "Be careful!"

"Old... old boss..." Du Fuge's mouth twitched, and after a final sigh, he said, "Geleia, you are truly impressive. In just a few days, you have already gathered a follower. However, do not forget why you are here; there are only two weeks left in the deadline"

Today is truly strange, there is not a single person around, and today is not Saturday... Wait, today... it seems to be...! At this moment, my cheeks are already streaked with tears, and it turns out that today is indeed Saturday!

Nicole and Havens said in unison: "Grea, where are you going? We want to go together!"

Puh, asking a girl out, Romani must have misunderstood, I waved my hand, just as I was about to explain, I was interrupted by Duforge

I began to smile foolishly, my eyes turning into crescent moons, yes, that's right, that kind of silly smile

Something is not right, they are just playing tennis, could it be that they are afraid of tennis coming near them

In this day and age, even a thug likes to carry a baseball bat, as if wielding a baseball bat could elevate their status by a few levels

Do not be afraid, I will not harm you. I am still very sorry for what just happened, so I picked up the baseball bat from the ground and hurried to reassure him. However, the boy with the slanted hair was completely frightened when he saw me approaching with the baseball bat.

The morning air is pleasant, and the birds on the trees chirp merrily, yet none of this stirs even a trace of joy within me. I shuffle into the classroom in a daze, having even forgotten to eat the breakfast I hold dear.

I sat on that perfect cushion, lowering my head and gritting my teeth, saying: "Who says no one will come to save them"

I nodded submissively and said "Okay". Just as I was about to leave, my hands were simultaneously seized by Romani and the other three.

A black line appeared on Du Fuge's forehead, and a deep hashtag emerged from his brow, as he followed behind with a dark expression

Upon entering the classroom, I found it empty and devoid of any presence. I thought to myself that I had arrived too early, so I took my seat. I remained there until my waist became numb, yet no one came, not even the diligent teacher. At this point, the sun had already risen to its zenith.

At that moment, Romani and the other two screamed as they looked behind me. I turned around and saw the thug who had just knocked himself out by crashing into the pillar, charging at me again, adopting a desperate stance.

Looking at their sordid behavior, the next step should be to take action against them

"It's all good, let's go together! I'm really hungry, let's go!" I said with a hearty laugh, pulling Romani and the others along, leading the way, while also calling out to Dufuge behind us, "Hurry up! Where's the restaurant you mentioned? I'm so hungry!"

My legs are still very numb, and I can hardly move. At that moment, Dufuge suddenly appeared and threw a thug to the ground with a shoulder throw. After the dull sound of him hitting the ground, Dufuge swiftly knocked the thug unconscious with a punch

Dufuge slowly turned his head, his brilliant yet cold star-like eyes locking onto my face. He stared at me for a while, then asked with a hint of confusion, "Don't tell me you don't even know what this mission is about?" His tone was as if he were questioning a fool

They must have already eaten, otherwise how could they have the energy to play tennis... I thought to myself, burying my head in my arms, feeling gloomy and unable to find an outlet for my emotions. I had no desire to admire their graceful figures as they played tennis; instead, I leaned my head against the glass, closed my eyes, and thought about delicious food. Just then, Romani's exclamation broke the silence.

My heavens, this means I really didn't dream last night! ... I truly saw Baron Shiro in disguise, and I even saved him, and ...? ... I suddenly feel a great sense of fear; if last night was not a dream, then my mission card is truly gone

Indeed, he is quite careless; while others faint once, he insists on fainting twice, and he only collects one portion of the boxed meal

Indeed! I am grateful to have you!

Having been crouched on the windowsill for quite some time, my legs had gone numb. At that moment, due to the urgency of the situation, I wanted to rush out to save them. I quickly stood up, but my movements were unsteady, and I lunged towards the window. The next scene unfolded as I broke through the glass, falling amidst the flying shards, and, to the astonishment of the onlookers, landed directly on top of a very overweight thug, knocking him unconscious instantly.

At this very moment, the numbness and pain in my legs reached their peak, as if a thousand needles were pricking both legs, with the soles of my feet feeling particularly uncomfortable, making it impossible to stand. Therefore, I squatted down to rub my legs; if possible, I would rather sit on the ground to massage my feet

Everyone fell silent, the shards of glass had finished falling with a rustling sound, and the billowing smoke had also dissipated completely

Due to the numbness in my legs, which has yet to recover, I can only lower my head and endure it. Thus, my voice sounds particularly cold and stern, as if a weapon of death is warning the incompetent small fry.

No, not really... Actually, I mean..." I said with a conflicted expression, "Do you know the details of this task?"

"Who are you, and how can you just enter our school?" Romani shouted in panic, "Let go! Quickly let go! Help!" In addition, Nicoco and Havensteen also screamed, "Don't come any closer, or I will call the police!"

The outdoor birds chirped and sang on the branches, while the alarm clock on the bedside table kept ringing incessantly. After a long while, it was finally silenced by a hand that emerged from under the blanket. I stretched and yawned as I got out of bed, pushed open the glass door to the balcony, and stood there stretching.

"Hey, how could you be so careless?" Duforge said expressionlessly

The vast campus, due to the weekend, appears desolate and quiet, with the only lively atmosphere found in the tennis court hidden beneath the thicket. Three young girls, dressed in stylish tennis skirts, swing their rackets on the court, the sound of the ball echoing through the empty campus. Against the backdrop of the gentle breeze and sunlight, they appear even more youthful and radiant.

Oh. I responded and was also ready to follow, but unexpectedly, Romani did not agree. She blocked Duforge's path and said with a hint of confusion, "Your approach to dating girls is quite sophisticated, isn't it? So cool."

I caught Romani, who was rushing over in a panic, and with a flick of my wrist, I threw the baseball bat out of my hand. The bat accurately struck the back of her head, where her long, slanted hair fell.

"Where I send her is none of your business"

I slowly stood up from the body of the overweight thug, my head bowed, my whole body trembling, like a ghost from hell, as if I were gathering strength to prepare for an attack

These individuals, a group of six, were dealt with by me in this manner

Oh my God! Romani is in danger! I must go save her!

Romani struggled while shouting in a high-pitched voice: "Help! Is there anyone who can save us!"

I could hardly believe it, my mouth agape and my eyes wide open as I stared at the chaos around me, remaining in a daze for a long time.

"You, you, you, don't come over!" The leader, with his long, slanted hair, completely lost his composure, and he began to tremble while holding Romani's hand.

Indeed, how can one not tremble? My legs are numb to a great extent, how can one recover so quickly!

"Who are you...?" The person with the long, slanted hair was still gripping Romani's wrist, but it was evident that they were somewhat retreating, clearly frightened by what I had just done.

What a fuss, my legs are numb, is that not allowed

He let out a cry and pushed Romani towards me, then turned and ran away

Duforge's reminder struck me like a bolt from the blue, suddenly bringing to mind my task card that perished without my having seen it. I wonder if I could seek Duforge's assistance at this moment, would he...

Next, that person's baseball bat swung through the air, but the force was too great, directly knocking down the three oddly dressed thugs beside me

"Stop being so verbose, just say what you mean," said the impatient boss Du Fuge.

From now on, you will be our leader, and we will follow you unconditionally! Romani held my hand and made this earnest promise

Let her go... I said in a low voice

The boy with long, slanted hair had a cunning glint in his small, unattractive eyes. He deliberately said, "I just let her go, so don't get worked up."

The boy with long, slanted hair laughed heartily, the several lip piercings on his lips reflecting a brilliant light in the sunlight: "Go ahead and call out, there is hardly anyone here on the weekend, no matter how much you shout, no one will come to your rescue!"

The first ray of sunlight that pierced my eyes was somewhat dazzling, but it quickly soothed one's emotions with its gentle warmth. Once my eyes adjusted to the light, I looked down at the floor tiles, and the pool of blood was still there

A loud crash echoed, and I clutched my stomach, instantly stopping my wailing. Pouting, I muttered to myself: "I'm so hungry... I wonder what Romani and the others are eating today"

Dufuge spoke in a stiff tone: "A new Aix restaurant has opened at the entrance of the academy, you will go with me." After saying this, he turned to leave

Sometimes, it is not only pain that awakens the giants, but also hunger

I pondered for a moment, looking at my fingers, and said with a silly smile: "Duforge, you said... if... I mean, if!"

Only dust swirled up as the boy with long, slanted hair fell to the ground, losing consciousness immediately

"I am not interested," Duforge replied coldly, showing no regard for courtesy

The dark explosion marks on the floor are still present, which indicates that my mission card has exploded

Heavenstone and Nicole also caught hold of me, expressing endless gratitude, but it seems that Nicole's points are somewhat strange. However, who cares? They have called me a hero!

I quickly leaned out to take a look, and saw on the tennis court that Romani and her two companions were being harassed by a group of punks with brightly dyed hair. The leader was a guy with long, slanted hair covering one eye, adorned with chains around his neck, arms, and body. He was gripping Romani's wrist, showing no mercy despite her struggles, and wore a lewd and triumphant expression on his face.

I am completely immersed in the baptism of heroes, in my mind I stand on a high platform, and countless voices from all directions are shouting "Hero, Hero", it is truly intoxicating

At present, only the boy with long, slanted hair remains.

"Not at all! Hahaha!" I patted Dufuge's shoulder vigorously and laughed heartily, saying, "How could you possibly not know? How could that be! Hahaha—"

I faced the morning light, still reluctant to open my eyes, and spoke to myself with my eyes closed: "I had a dream last night, I dreamt that Baron Shiro was in disguise! Haha, how amusing, how could I dream of Baron Shiro in disguise?" I laughed foolishly, chuckling for a while, and feeling that the dream was too vivid, I finally opened my eyes

Speaking of Romani and her sisters, today is Saturday, which should be their time to play tennis again. I once asked Romani to take me along, but she coldly refused.

At that moment, the thug behind me suddenly attacked, swinging a baseball bat horizontally towards the back of my head

"Geleia, you are amazing! You are simply our hero!" Romani grasped my shoulders, her eyes filled with tears of gratitude

"Why is it none of our business?" Romani placed her hands on her hips, while Nicole and Havens Ting stood to her left and right, striking a pose like beautiful girls, and said in unison: "She is our boss!"

The boy with long hair shot a glance at me from behind, and immediately a thug understood the signal, quietly grasping the baseball bat in his padded hand, slowly encircling me from behind.

I endured my hunger, leaning on the windowsill, gazing towards the tennis court

Where are you going? I smiled obsequiously.
