Some of the students who graduated from Xiongying chose to join the firm as soon as they graduated, and started their dream jobs after registering as a hero, while others were admitted to higher education institutions to further enhance their knowledge reserves. (..)

As for Hong Jiaodong, he made a choice that only adults would have.

——I want it all.jpg

When All Might knew that Hong Jiaodong had made a more difficult path, he was full of emotion instead.

"Yayoi boy, he has opened up a new path for you."

In private, he shared with Izuku Lvgu this way: "In the past, few graduates like you would choose to become heroes while continuing to study. One is that the environment does not allow it, even if we hope that you children , You can go to the battlefield after a little more experience, but the outside world will not leave you enough time."

"The second is that even we ourselves have forgotten that you can have other paths besides becoming heroes."

"Speaking of which, Yayoi boy also taught me a lesson."

Izuku Lvgu didn't fully understand the meaning of All Might's words at the time. In his opinion, being able to have a personality and walk on the road of a hero in an open and honest manner is a dream that he can't even imagine. It has become a reality, how is he willing to let go of it and go to another path.

But it wasn't until he went further and further in the hero industry, from youth to youth, and then to middle age, that he realized the profound meaning of his teacher's words.

There is no difference in the weight of dreams. I want to make a bowl of noodles extremely delicious, and become a hero to protect others... As long as the heart of desire is pure and you put all your efforts into it, then it is a person worthy of his protection. s future.

And when he was a child, everyone was emphasizing that becoming a hero was the most correct choice.

It seems that only the dreams associated with heroes can be colored, and the rest of the dreams that also need to be cared for are just insignificant existences.

At that time, I didn't realize the cruelty behind it, but I didn't feel scared until I grew up to the age where I could realize it, because I almost became a member of the cruelty.

fortunately……

Fortunately, someone has already seen this peaceful picture, and rescued many, many dreams and many, many colorful wishes from the hands of darkness.

At a class reunion in high school, with a little alcohol, Izuku Midoriya spit out the words hidden in his heart in one breath.

"...So, if we are not heroes now, what kind of people should we be?"

His face was flushed with the alcohol, and the green valley was so strong that he almost fell face-down into the hot pot with just two small glasses of sake.

"Hey, don't you want to be a hero?"

Liri Yuchazi grabbed Lugu's arm with one hand, and asked Bakugo to pass over the tissue at hand, and asked Lvgu to wipe off his sweat: "Please don't bully the drunk Xiaojiu, thank you, and it's Bakugo who secretly took His white water was replaced by a sake bar."

"Aha?"

Bakugo Katsuki's expression is that of a villain who has been in the upper body for ten years. The hand that went to get the tissue changed the direction, threw a wet towel over, and patted Lu Gu's face: "Wipe yourself."

Izuku hiccupped, barely sat up straight, and rubbed the cold towel with him: "For me, uh...if I'm not a hero...well, I might become a reporter."

"Since I was a child, I have longed for heroes. I have written down all the hero materials on the market. I have cut them from newspapers and made them into collections. I have also created folders to classify the materials on the Internet... I have long wanted to Well, even if you don’t want to be a hero, you have to be the person closest to the hero!”

He also swung his fist towards the void, and then fell down with a snap, scaring the people around him enough.

The party ended so suddenly that day, obviously it was a question for everyone, but in the end only Lu Gu answered.

Hong Jiaodong has also considered this issue, but after carefully arranging what he owns, he finds that if he does not become a hero, his choices will be so many that it is frightening.

"...Is this another kind of distress?"

Taking off the glasses from the bridge of the nose, Hong Jiao Dong muttered to himself.

At this time, he especially wanted to ask his teacher, Yayoi Komaeda, what he would do if he was not a hero.

It's a pity that he is too busy with work, and in his eyes, this trivial matter is not enough to bother Yayoi Komaeda. When he finally met on a certain occasion and was able to raise this question face to face, five years had passed since the party at that time .

"Long time no see, Jiao Dong."

The passage of time has hardly left traces on Komaeda Yayoi's body, but his temperament has changed from being slightly green when he was young to being as mellow as wine today: "I heard that Senior Enji is in good health recently. He's been fighting on the front line recently."

"Senior All Might chose to leave the stage to young people, but Senior Yansi really refused to admit defeat."

"Father he..."

Hong Jiaodong, who left Hong’s family when he was an adult, has not paid attention to the news of his father Hong Yansi for a long time. Obviously father and son are very good heroes, but they are like two parallel lines. Missions to the same area will also be staggered.

If asked about his mother's recent situation, Hong Jiaodong can still say a few words, but he is really helpless for the rest.

Yayoi Komaeda also saw his embarrassment, and moved the topic to other places with a light turn. When All Might invited Hong Jiaodong to give a lecture to Xiongying occasionally, she encouraged her apprentice a few words.

"Get in touch with young people who can support the future."

Touching the position of her heart, Komaeda Yayoi nodded again from the air: "This is a somewhat rustic way of saying - looking at those young people, you can re-examine your original intentions."

"Really? I'll think about it."

Hong Jiaodong nodded seriously, and then asked the question that had troubled him for many years.

Yayoi Komaeda was stunned for a moment, and then she reacted: "Well, don't you want to be a hero?"

Compared with me, you have more possibilities.Bang Jiaodong thought so.

"I may live an ordinary life, go to school step by step, and finally find a field I like and devote myself to it."

This answer was too conservative, and Hong Jiaodong was inevitably a little disappointed.

He felt that the other party was perfunctory.

Many years passed, and when the half-white and half-red hair that had been scorched and frozen had all turned gray-white, he became Xiongying's principal, standing by the window of the office, watching another group of students below. newborn.

Compared with previous years, the aptitude of new heroes is a curve that is slowly rising; but it is undeniable that more and more children whose personalities are suitable for being heroes in the eyes of veteran heroes like them choose other schools and embark on A different future.

I don't feel sorry and sad, this kind of emotion has never appeared here in Hong Jiaodong.

He just felt more and more how precious the so-called ordinary life was.

A turbulent era is doomed not to accommodate these "ordinary people". Their qualifications are destined to become "rough stones" and be polished into diamonds to shine in the tide of the times.

And whether these "rough stones" choose to be polished out of their own will, will anyone care?

Just like when I was young, I couldn’t stop training even if I was tired enough to vomit. The father who stood on the sidelines with a serious face would never consider his thoughts. Your tears are just a sign of cowardice.

"Grow up normally, and devote yourself to the field you like..."

This is your happiness, and it is also the scene we are most willing to see.

One day, Izuku Midori, who was hired back to teach Xiongying after retiring from the hero, found his long-time friend Hong Jiaodong.

"I've been having strange dreams recently."

"What dream?"

Hong Jiaodong made tea for Lvgu Chujiu. His good friend, when he gets old, looks like a little old man who can be seen everywhere on the roadside, but as long as he sees his eyes, he can feel his thin body. Under the hidden power.

"To put it simply, it's a world without Komaeda-san."

Izuku Lvgu rubbed his temples in distress: "Do you still remember the enemy alliance invading the school when we met in the first year of high school? Without Mr. Komaeda, the students of our class moved two or three years earlier Standing on the opposite side of the enemy alliance."

"And got beaten up badly."

As if recalling some bloody scene, Lugu's face wrinkled: "All Might's body collapsed a few years earlier, and he even left us early. Because of excessive use of OFA, I overdrawn my life a lot. There are wounds all over my body that won't heal."

"In my dream, I think these are nothing, as long as I can protect my companions and fight against the darkness, it doesn't matter if I lose my life."

"But you know..."

Let the minors go to the battlefield to replace the position of the seniors, where is the face of the seniors.

His unspoken words were accurately received by Hong Jiaodong.

Under the guidance of Yayoi Komaeda, they basically have such a consensus. They were a little bit dissatisfied when they were protected at the beginning, and felt that their own strength was underestimated. But when they became adults and took up the position of protectors, He immediately understood the other party's good intentions.

Yes, if the future of a world can only be guarded by children at the cost of their sacrifices, what can we expect from such a future.

——Do you still feel excited about it?

The more he is protected by the child, the more he shows his incompetence.

Besides, a group of minors, under the premise of unlimited possibilities in the future, are abruptly framed in a fixed trajectory, which makes people feel sad when they think about it.

Just when Hong Jiaodong was diverting his thoughts, Lugu suddenly burst into a maniac laughter that made eardrums burst: "And Xiaosheng was kidnapped by the enemy alliance hahahahahaha."

"It's unbelievable, now I want to laugh when I think of Xiao Sheng's ugly old man's face, hahahahahahaha."

The love and pain of youth usually turn into a bright black history in old age. Beneath the seemingly uninhibited appearance of Bakugo Katsuki, he actually has a heart of learning and studying hard every day. After so many years, he can see each other There are very few opportunities for jokes, and the dreams that Green Valley has can become his source of happiness for a long time.

Hong Jiaodong couldn't hold back, and laughed along with him.

Perhaps because of being taught by Yayoi Komaeda since he was a child, among the heroes of the same generation as Hong Jiaodong, he is the longest-lived one.

This also means that he sent away one of his old friends.

All the people in Xiongying Class A walked in front of him, and the first one to leave, not surprisingly, was Izuku Midoriya.

Liri Yuchazi cried so much that she couldn't help herself at the funeral, Bakugo Katsuki's eyes were red, and he scolded a waste of time... When it was his turn, Hong Jiaodong put a bunch of flowers that he had grown himself. sunflower.

Green Valley Izuku's departure was the beginning, and then he received funeral invitations one after another. The flowery garden became extremely bare for a while, and it took several years to restore its former splendor.

The death of his friend was a big blow to Hong Jiaodong. He chose a successor and handed over all the affairs in his hands. He lived alone in a house with a garden, took care of the flowers and plants, and occasionally slipped into the garden stray animals.

Then one afternoon, leaning on the recliner, he slowly closed his eyes.

All the turmoil and grandeur finally returned to calm.

But the traces left by this life will never disappear, forever.
