I, the Heir of Heroes

It seems that the temperament on his body has become more noble and indifferent, even though he has the same indifferent expression as before, but the people he met along the way seemed to feel some terrible existence, and they always subconsciously stayed away from him.

I will not go out of my way to explain, nor will I sigh too much.

Jia Luo returned to his own room without any fluctuations in his heart.

At this time, it was already the seventh day of the Nine Schools Tournament, presumably today's schedule is coming to an end.

The sunset sun outside the house renders the world a pure golden color.

Casually unbuttoning the buttons of the uniform on his chest, letting the not-so-soft sunlight shine on his face from the balcony, Jia Luo just lay down on the bed and closed his eyes to rest.

Time passed quietly in the silence of the room, and the outdoor sky was gradually engulfed by the rising black sky.

Originally thought that he could keep it like this until the next day, but the choice of fate obviously did not allow him to do so.

A rhythmic knock on the door echoed in the house.

——It’s already this time, who else will it be?

Opening his eyes, Jia Luo didn't immediately perceive the person coming from outside the house.

He gently pulled the handle, revealing the familiar figure.

——That's right, she is the only one who will come at this time.

Jia Luo's cold face softened.

"Good evening, Gaara."

Raising her soft and white palm, she waved it slightly with a smile on her face, Mayumi stared at Galo with ruby ​​red eyes, and greeted him.

"Come in first."

Without saying anything, Jia Luo replied with an invitation.

However, when he turned around, he didn't notice the worry in Mayumi's eyes behind him.

The surprise in Jia Luo's eyes at the beginning was that he didn't join the crowd immediately after his return. The moment he saw her, her body stiffened, and there was an unusual tiny psion faintly emanating from her body...

This information is linked together, no matter how you look at it, it cannot be described as normal.

——What happened these days?Was it really related to the disaster that night?

As the daughter of the Nanakusa family of the Ten Master Clan, it is natural that she knows much more information than ordinary people.

However, the truth closest to the core of the matter is out of her reach.

Silently following behind Galo, Mayumi's flawless smile reappeared on her face.

"When did you come back?"

Under his signal, Mayumi sat on the bed in the house.

Seeing Jia Luo sitting on the chair beside him, he opened his mouth slowly, with a slightly complaining tone.

"I arrived in the afternoon or evening. I'm not a logistics person who is good at technical processing and tactical analysis, and I can't play any role there. It's better not to bother you at all. Speaking of which, how are the games these days? gone?"

It seemed that he didn't want to talk about his own affairs very much, Jia Luo turned to ask in a flat tone.

"Overall, it's still within expectations..."

Simply telling Galo the general situation, Mayumi did not skip the result of the decisive battle between Shizuku and Miyuki.

"Is it a child's competitive spirit, is it a headache? By the way, how is Shizuku's situation?"

"Well, thanks to her best friend Honoka, she's also recovered from her downturn. But, Kara, hasn't anyone told you that it's unwise to talk about other girls in front of your girlfriend?"

He didn't evade Galo's question, but Mayumi had an angry expression on her face.

The pouting mouth seemed to reveal her inner displeasure.

He didn't seem to notice that it was just a simple joke, and a look of apology appeared on Jia Luo Gujing's impassive face.

Feeling helpless for his seriousness, Mayumi sighed and did not pursue further.

The face turned serious and solemn, what was described above was only the basic situation, and the next thing was the key point.

"This afternoon, something happened to the decoding of the secret stele in the rookie competition."

"...An accident?"

Jia Luo's eyes narrowed slightly.

"It's not an accident, there was a pre-emptive and malicious attack."

——Sure enough, there are other people involved in this Nine Schools Battle against Yi Gao.

Thinking silently in his heart, Jia Luo didn't express his guess, but asked the most practical question.

"Now decide what to do."

"The organizers are talking with Jumonji, who is the representative of the school. However, everyone really doesn't want to give up. Even though they can still get No.2 results, they have already reached this point. It is a pity not to try again. .”

"Then temporarily form a substitute team to join the battle."

It was Galo who said this idea.

"Substitute?...Who would be more suitable?"
