I have become stronger, but also shorter [comprehensive]

...do you want to stand up?

Maybe.Yes, I can no longer be in a daze like this.

The frozen ice exuded a bone-chilling chill and was exceptionally slippery, but Hong Jiaodong still struggled to stand up.

It wasn't until he stared into the eyes of the silver-haired boy in a daze that he suddenly realized that he was so obsessed with it that he ignored the most important part.

"The challenge hasn't started yet, so who can you show me with such a hopeless look?"

Eric will probably always be like this.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he was unceremonious, more like he didn't care about other people's thoughts at all, and said whatever he wanted.

"No desires, no desires... I don't think my face should look like this..."

After a pause for a while, he actually refuted Brother Eric's speech.

"Oh?"

"Ah, that's right, I'll pay attention from now on."

"It's almost there."

Finally, he didn't choke to death with a single sentence from the honest brother - no, isn't this what it should be! —Eric is still satisfied.

He didn't care what nonsense the boy was thinking about.

Since it is a serious challenge, it should not be distracted.

"It was your first strike just now, I will fight back."

"Ok?"

Just as Hong Jiaodong was taken aback, he heard the young man say: "Very good. There have been back and forth, now it's my turn to come first."

In the second round, the battle started by Eric first——

If this is not the final scene of the Hero Sports Festival where individuality is allowed to be used as much as possible, but any boxing match outside, maybe everyone will be more acceptable.

"What are they doing?"

"Wait, shouldn't it be the same as before, swish, swish, rattle, and fierce competition? The two of them, why..."

Inevitably there have been countless voices of discussion.

Those who want to watch the fierce competition of sparks splashing are destined to be disappointed.

They expect Eric, who has been outstanding since the beginning of the sports festival, to show his talents and bring more surprises.Of course, there is also some expectation for Andeva's son.

In addition, the personalities of these two teenagers are ice, isn't it more worth looking forward to?

But the fact is that there is no such thing as a lively fight with stunning visual effects, and it is not as "good-looking" as the one between Eric and Bakugo Katsuki.

In addition to making a ground and crossing the ice at the beginning, the official duel between the two teenagers...

It turned out to be a close combat method!

"Oh, what's going on?"

The lady clerk in the dessert shop and the customer who unknowingly followed her focus exclaimed together, unable to figure out the child's intentions.

"Eric won't still find it troublesome... No, if he really thought it was troublesome, he wouldn't spend so much time."

In the auditorium, everyone in Class A who cheered Mr. Hong was also very surprised.

Perhaps, only one of the strongest men (one of them) sitting in a small rented room touched his chin, and made a voice that seemed to understand: "Uh, so it is like this."

"You have to look at what you say and what you think in your heart. What a weird man, Eric."

……

"Awkward Man" is unaware of these voices from the dark.

Of course, even if he heard it, he would still ignore it.

He threw Hong Jiaodong out once, followed by two times, three times, and there was no end to the upper limit for the time being.

"too weak."

He said this more than once or twice.

But here, what he was referring to was the poor melee level of this little brother, Hong.

The fighting method that Hong Jiaodong is accustomed to is to use ice to attack, or form a shield to defend.

His physical skills are not as bad as Eric said that he can't stand it, but to be honest, if he wants to mention how good it is, it must be a lie.

On weekdays, I didn't specially exercise this aspect. After all, according to the normal thinking, Hong Jiaodong has such a strong personality and is more suitable for long-range attacks. Of course, he can choose a method that suits him.

However, short boards are short boards.

"Uh-uh-uh!"

There was a loud bang.

The boy's muffled snort sounded immediately.

Another round of unilateral crushing was over.

Perhaps most people will feel that the process of this final is not only not exciting, but it is unavoidably dull.

There is no other reason.

There is no suspense in the result, but Hong Jiaodong, who gave up the personality competition and chose to fight with bare hands like a fool, is now full of scars after the cycle of being knocked down, getting up, and attacking again.

The boy who was named the most handsome and cool guy in Class A, his image at this time deviates slightly from "cool".

The exposed wrists and palms were all finely scratched by the ice slag. He gasped for breath, and the sweat seemed to slide down from the corner of his forehead uncontrollably, dripping onto the ice in front of him.

The young man was quite tired and quite embarrassed.

According to his situation, nothing can be changed anyway, it is better to admit defeat earlier.If he persisted like this, he was the only one who suffered.

What's more, under countless pairs of wide-eyed eyes, being beaten helplessly by a young man who looks younger than him, ordinary people may not be able to hold on if they have a bad mentality.

"Mr. Hong... don't fight like this. Eric is too, why don't you stop?"

Such a voice also appeared in the crowd of Class A.

It's not that they don't believe Eric, but that they are really worried.The development of the finals was completely different from what was expected in advance.

There are different opinions.

And Bakugo Katsuki, even though he was here, unexpectedly remained silent.

Like everyone else, the blond boy, who was defeated before reaching the final, has been paying attention to the changes on the field since he came over silently.

With a gloomy expression and a murderous look, everyone knew that he couldn't touch Hao's eyebrows at this time.

He seemed to be in a very bad mood, and it would have been good if he hadn't turned over to the field to settle accounts with Eric, and it seemed quite unbelievable to be able to stand here.

however.

Bakugo Katsuki was not as upset as others thought.

Now that he saw Eric's arrogant face, it was still very unpleasant.But, quite strangely, he didn't seem to have the urge to be so angry that he couldn't hold back his anger.

Say a fact that would make him snort coldly, but he couldn't refute it for a while.

When others were asking whether Hong Jiaodong was too stupid, only Bakugo Katsuki understood what that guy was thinking.

He can even experience it personally.

Facing an unclimbable opponent like a peak, those who dare not lose, the more they want to challenge climbing.

Hong Jiaodong and Bakugo Katsuki are exactly the same in this regard.

"a bunch of idiots."

The boy really snorted coldly, but he didn't know what the "idiot" was talking about.

Looking at the center of the field, the two who were still prolonging the game time, Bakugo Katsuki, who could only watch, clicked his tongue in displeasure, and gritted his teeth for some reason.

——Is this a challenge?Just kidding, it's not painful at all, is there such a beating? !

——Damn... What an eyesore! ! !

Yes.

As long as you observe carefully, you can understand it with a little brain turn.

This is not at all a brat deliberately torturing people like a joke.

There is a deliberate element in it, but the purpose is not as simple as it appears on the surface.

"Have you not given up yet? That's not bad, let's continue."

As he said this, the boy who had been thrown away countless times just rushed forward again.

"Ho——!!!"

Accompanied by the exhausted but still imposing punching and shouting, the strong wind rushed towards the face of the silver-haired boy with the same expression.

Perhaps only a few unsupported silver hairs were shaken.

Eric grabbed the arm that was just sent to the door, and with a backhand fold, he threw the boy's body, which was a section taller than him, into the air.

If Hong Jiaodong can't react in time, the end will be exactly the same as before, the next moment he will lie on his back on the ground, and he can only get up after a while.

It's just that these countless rounds of painful experiences are not in vain. If there is no progress, Hong Jiaodong will be too dull.

His progress is reflected in the instantaneous transformation between lightning and flint.

This time, Eric didn't easily throw his opponent away.

In mid-air, the young man somehow managed to stabilize his balance, and then swept his legs across, using all his strength to break through the opponent's seemingly defenseless vest, and took the standing Eric with him. down...

"Oh, naive."

Being unprepared does not mean that there is a flaw.

There were a few twists and turns in the process, but the final result remained the same. Hong Jiaodong lost again, and was swung away by Eric, who had no friendship with classmates.

Eric clapped his hands to remove the ashes that might not be there.

Nothing in the final venue will affect his thoughts and mood.Therefore, the silver-haired boy remained calm amidst the noise, and only asked, "Do you want to continue?"

"……cough."

Standing up from the icy debris that was affected by the fight, Hong Jiao Dong gave a low cough, and raised his eyes steadily to see that in the pupils of different colors, a color that was not obvious before flashed at some point.

It's not that this color has never existed before, it's just that it was overwhelmed by other redundant gray and dark colors before, so it's not known to others or to myself.

"continue."

He stood up unsteadily.

There is no need to remember the number of times you stood up.

Because this young man has already shown with his eyes that no matter how many times, as long as he still has the strength to act, he will do his best and never give up.

This is why the scene, which was still very lively, suddenly became quiet again.

People who questioned Eric's intentions and whether Hong Jiaodong was stupid or not, now it's time to understand what is meant by this extremely slow "challenge" in the name of the final.

If you really haven't understood it yet, you should at least be able to see it, the most obvious change in Hong Jiaodong's body.

It's momentum.

It is determination.

Or something deeper.

In the beginning, it was mixed with irrelevant emotions, but it condensed and became extremely pure in this time and time again.

In the end, all that remains is this belief:

——This is a mountain that is closest to me, which I can't help but yearn for, and which makes me want to climb over.

——It is impossible for me to pass up this opportunity.How else could I distract him from all the other things that seemed unimportant, other than challenging him to the limit?
