The town high school stadium in Abbotgast was packed to a sold, crowded stadium that was supposed to hold only 3,200 spectators, and the stadium was equipped with makeshift stands, doubling the seating capacity to a staggering 6,500! Not counting those who were forced to gather in the town square to watch the big screen without tickets.

Raising the national flag, singing the national anthem, and in the sound of the national anthem, the competition officially began.

"Welcome to TNX's broadcast of the world's first race by capable people. I'm Cox, and sitting next to me is Scarecrows running man Bard King's father, Bird King, who was also the captain of the Scarecrows. Cox Egerton, a well-known commentator on TNX TV, who is almost 60 years old, took advantage of the fact that the two teams had not yet kicked off and seized the time to make an introduction.

"I said Cox, is it true that my voice is heard all over the country now?" asked a whisper that sounded a lot like Bard.

"Uh, yes, and, Bird, you forgot to turn off the microphone. Cox reminded.

"Haha, I did it on purpose, it's humor, humor. Bird laughed nonchalantly.

“…… It's a battle to look forward to, with both teams at the top level in the high school league, but I think the audience is probably looking forward to the player who will be on the scene after the game. I can reveal a little bit here, this capable man was once a member of the Scarecrows!" Cox began to change the subject stiffly after a ten-second pause.

Originally, in Cox's outline, in addition to the normal commentary game, he also had the responsibility of giving some official explanations to Barack, such as telling the public why such a game between high school teams would be broadcast.

If a different person were to sit next to Cox, perhaps Cox would have been very conscious of the next step after Cox had thrown out the topic, such as asking who the capable person really was, although it was impossible to get an answer from Cox right away. In this way, Cox can continue to create suspense in the first half of the game according to the outline, and further provoke the audience's interest and complete his task without leaving a trace.

That's right, it's a task, an order issued by the state government and the federal government, and as a citizen of the country, he has the responsibility and must carry it out.

It's a pity that Bird didn't receive such an order, his rank was not enough, or maybe in the eyes of others, having Cox, the famous commentator of TNX TV, was enough, and Bird was just a local who was routinely invited, a hillbilly.

Cox is very well prepared, or the government has given him a lot of information, which has a detailed definition of the game, such as the trend of the game, the strength of the Witch team, how difficult it will be for the Scarecrows team to complete revenge, and the new hero Keane of Abugast will become powerless in the face of such a strong opponent, etc.

In short, everything is about building momentum for Barack at the end of the game, whether on the field or off the field, whether it is the players on the pitch or the commentator on the commentary box, their common task is to disappoint Keane and make them more eager for a new hero to turn the tide.

And when all that emotion came to a head was when Barack stepped onto the pitch again.

"We're rebuilding the country's confidence in the capable, so this game is incredibly important because it's about our leadership in the world of the future. Cox remembered very well that the one-armed lieutenant colonel who had given him the papers had said it himself.

It is rumored that those who suddenly appear in this world are very powerful, and the most famous example is the omniscient who has just announced his death, and that is the person who can change the strategic position of any great power in an instant.

Cox agrees with the one-armed lieutenant colonel's words, and he also thinks that it is necessary, so Cox does not reject this task that must be completed, and even feels that he has this responsibility and obligation to serve the country.

But this time Cox met an opponent, and his opponent was Bird, who didn't follow Cox's rhythm at all.

Just when Cox thought Bird would echo him, saying, "Who's that power?", and even if Bird had been more cooperative, he might have added, "I really can't wait to find out." ”

Well, Bird actually asked, and he asked with a look of surprise, "Who is that powerhouse?" I don't know the Scarecrows ever had Superman!"

It's just that unlike Cox's imagination, Bird is completely in a posture of breaking the casserole and asking the question, rather than just helping to heat up the atmosphere.

Of course, Cox can't announce the answer immediately, and the suspense is only called suspense when it is revealed at the last moment, so Bird's questioning makes Cox very nerve-wracking, and even for a moment, Cox has the feeling that this guy is deliberately coming to dismantle his own stage.

“…… I think we'll be able to see that capable person soon, don't you think it's more meaningful to witness the miracle with your own eyes?" Cox changed the subject again after a pause of ten seconds: "Speaking of which, it's a bit strange that we can only see superheroes in science fiction movies so soon, you know? Bird, I'm still not very receptive to the existence of capable people. ”

After speaking, Cox looked nervously at the temporary partner beside him. Despite decades of experience in live commentary, Cox found himself at all at the pace of this Bird King.

Sure enough, just like Cox's intuition, Bird once again showed his unusual brain.

"No, no, no, man, I can take it! Why can't you? You know, I've dreamed of becoming Superman one day! If I become Superman, I'll fly to defeat the evil Ruilian and save the world! Cox, I've been looking forward to this day for a long time, haven't you read comics as a kid? Didn't you look forward to one day lifting a car, or shooting lasers in the eye? Well, X-rays are fine. Speaking of which, Cox, you know what? My son is a fan of the book, and so am I, and our family is all of them! So we've been paying attention to the book, and they're very quick to accept the ables there, because they also have a lot of superhuman comics, and I don't think we people in the country are inferior to the book. Bird began to chatter.

"Bird, Bird, we're not going to talk about Ben today. Cox had to interrupt Bird's digression.

"Of course, you're right, I read comics when I was a kid, and I used to fantasize about being Superman to save the planet, but I think it's all fiction. At this point, Cox suddenly felt that his rhythm had been mastered by Bird.

"Those cartoons are fiction, of course, but now that the dream has come true, you should be happy rather than unacceptable. You must know that Superman was created by us people, and the captain of the country was also created by us people, so why can't we accept those who are alive and powerful?" Bird excited.

"But it's not like I've become Superman. When Cox said this, he seemed to have found a breakthrough in the problem: "The vast majority of the people of the Kingdom have not become superhumans, and the capable ones are only a small number of people, they are mysterious and powerful. ”

Cox couldn't help but be secretly proud, years of experience allowed him to correct the topic in a very short time, as long as he continued to follow the mysterious and powerful words of the able, he could continue to stir up the atmosphere and set off the appearance of Barack.

Everything is about to get back on track, Cox thought.

But again, to Cox's surprise, Bird once again expressed a different opinion: "They are powerful, but they are not mysterious, and my son's friend is one." That's right, the former captain of the Scarecrows, the strongest high school quartile in the whole world, Barack Hawth. Barack is a good boy, he's got strength, he's strong, but he's not changed at all, he's still so kind. By the way, the mysterious person you're talking about couldn't be Barack, right? But he had already left the Scarecrows when he got the ability. ”

Bird's question kept Cox on the spot, unable to utter a word for a long time.

"How did he know?" Cox's head was a mess, didn't he say that Barack's identity was kept secret? Cox, of course, didn't know that in this town, Bard's mouth and secrecy were inherently contradictory.

At this moment, there was a sudden "boom" at the scene, and 6,500 people exclaimed at the same time, and the huge sound almost broke the eardrum of Cox, who was also at the scene!

Anxiously turning his gaze to the field, Cox was also startled, and then couldn't help but shout: "Oh my God!"
