What exactly is 'destruction'.

I had no concept of the word since I was a child.

Elders, friends, and society all respect him. Treat him as a horrible thing.

What has been broken can never be restored. Since childhood, I have rendered countless such stories, and regarded destruction as a nail, a nuclear bomb, and a plague god.

Don't try to destroy something, whether it's a real thing or a concept.

For example, don't go out and ruin a relationship.

People like to get together and disperse.

However, there are always a lot of force majeure forces that destroy what you already have, and then use more wonderful methods to build new things. At this time, destruction also has some good aspects.

As long as its will remains, it is likely to be rebuilt at a very fast pace, creating a history that is even more glorious than the original.

[But even so, no one likes to destroy.] 】

On a winter morning, the sun was still working as usual, and it was in the house in a regular manner, waking me up from sleep.

On a winter morning, it's so lazy that people don't want to leave their otherwise warm beds.

Reluctance to get up.

I don't have a reason to get up, it's December 8th, and the fatigue of the night hasn't completely disappeared.

I slowly got out of bed. Open the window and whew-

Really, sea breeze.

From my room there is a direct view of the beach, which can be advertised as a sea view room in a 5 star hotel.

I yawned and went downstairs, and Liu Xin was downstairs preparing breakfast.

"Hello uncle."

I said hello to Liu Xin's father, who was sitting in the living room reading the newspaper.

In this era of intelligent information, it can be said that it is very rare to insist on reading traditional newspapers and periodicals.

Xu Liuxin's father is called Xu Guang, and he is the manager of an advertising agency.

"It's been so long, and I'm still called uncle."

Liu Xin's mother complained.

“…… Hm. ”

I didn't respond to him positively

Liu Xin's mother, Qiao Xin, runs a restaurant by the beach, which is located in the villa next to the house.

This is the beach, and in the summer, when the tourist season arrives, many tourists come to the beach in Harbourfront City, but now in winter, there are few tourists, so the beach restaurant is closed.

I live with this family, and the reason is a long story.

Seven years ago, when I was in the sixth grade of elementary school, a fire broke out in a high-rise apartment with my parents, killing more than 20 people, including my parents, and I was orphaned.

Since then, I have been adopted by my childhood sweetheart, Liu Xin's parents, until now.

Liu Xin's parents have two daughters, and the older sister is Xu Yexin, a retired special police officer who works for an organization called the 'Hong Kong Association' in Gangwan City. My sister's name is Xu Liuxin, and she is a senior in high school at the same age as me.

"I said I would make breakfast ......"

I said it was still early, and I was going to get up and make breakfast, but I didn't expect to be the last one in the family to get up.

"Okay, okay, Ye Xin pulled you to do something yesterday."

Aunt Qiao Xin said that she didn't know what we were doing yesterday.

"Hmm...... Their bar is short of staff. ”

The meeting place of the 'Hong Kong Society' was a bar, where Ye Xin nominally worked.

"It's fine, as long as you don't do dangerous things."

When Ye Xin chose to embark on the road of special police, she was nagged by her family, and his parents didn't want her to do dangerous work. But think about what we did yesterday...... Sure enough, don't tell them.

"Today's breakfast was made by Koyanagi."

"Really......"

Uh, wait a minute? What did Liu Xin do?

I was relieved, as if I had seen her busy in the kitchen just now.

Worst.

Liu Xin walked out of the kitchen, holding a three-tiered bun cage in his hand.

“……”

She put the bun cage on the table, and as expected, she made a full three layers of custard buns.

Then she took out another bowl and added a whole bowl of condensed milk to it.

"You really like to eat sweet things."

Every time she cooks, everything seems to be sweet.

"There's no such thing."

She looked very happy, and took out a pot of steamed sweet potatoes, purple sweet potato taro balls, mara cakes, and pumpkin pies from the kitchen, and served them with four servings of double-skin milk.

“……”

Liu Xin's parents are very happy, and they are indeed biological.

It's so sweet.

That's all I think.

Walking along the beach, through a small grove, to the asphalt road, this road is called Shangtan Road, and we follow it all the way to our school, about 2 kilometers. ——Gangwan City No. 2 Middle School.

In fact, Shangtan Road is the road leading to the city, and if you go to the end, you can go to the center of the city, but for this small harbor city, the city center is not very large.

I basically walk to school with Liu Xin every day, after all, the distance is not very far. In addition, I usually go out early, so it is good to take a morning walk.

“……”

I walked side by side with Liu Xin on the road, and I slowed down to take care of her speed.

She didn't say a word.

Keeping your lips closed and looking straight ahead, naturally? Walking without distractions.

Although I always went to and from school with her, I rarely had a conversation on the way, as if it was just to complete the task of 'going to and from school'.

She used to be a more straightforward and lively girl, and the two of us often quarreled. But as I got older, she spoke less and less, and she tended to be more and more cold to me.

If anything, you only smile when you make desserts.

Every time I wanted to see her smile, I would go back to the 'CM cake' at the back door of the school to buy desserts, and she liked the cakes at that shop the most. Especially custard, condensed milk and chocolate. Liu Xin's cooking uses a lot of sweet custard and condensed milk, and I'm worried about her using chocolate on a whim that day.

The thought of that makes me sick.

However, it is best if she can laugh, and I am willing to eat a kilogram of chocolate. - Oops, don't let her hear you, or I'll be doomed if I really want to eat it.

In order to fill this gap of 'commuting to and from school', I always deliberately think about other issues.

It's mostly a bit of fanciful thinking, such as how steel is made, or the application of the second theorem of thermodynamics.

I looked at my hands – I was a man of steel, and my bones were made of steel.

Ever since I received this special power, I've been particularly sensitive to things related to 'steel'.

Sister Liu Xin and Ye Xin both know this secret of mine, but other than that, only some members of the 'Hong Kong Association' know.

I originally thought that Liu Xin and Ye Xin would be very scared, but in fact it was the opposite, not only that, but Sister Ye Xin kept trying to persuade me to join the 'Hong Kong Club'.

The HKBC is a non-governmental organization in Harbourfront City.

About seven years ago, after the fire, people with 'supernatural abilities' began to appear in the world, although extremely rare, but extremely unthinkable, as if the plot of the manga was suddenly moved to the real world, and the people who received the ability called this 'supernatural ability' 'the gift of the gods'.

However, most of the 'abilities' have extremely limited effect. For example, you can jump higher, run faster, and you can walk by sticking to a wall. None of these abilities have any real impact, and if anything, the 'ability' has caused the World Games to record new records.

But to tell the truth, the ability to jump high and walk against the wall can also be achieved with today's advanced scientific and technological equipment.

So these 'ability' holders didn't affect the normal functioning of the world. That being said, a few of the few have been given some of the more powerful forces, and a few of those few have chosen to become 'bad guys'. This has led to an increase in crime, and recently there have been some 'flame controllers' who have set fires all over the city for a variety of strange purposes, which is not worth mentioning.

On the other hand, some 'Ability Holders' choose to use their power to benefit society and improve society's perception of 'Ability Holders'. The 'Hong Kong Society' is one such organization, and there are many 'ability holders' among them, mainly cooperating with the police to investigate and arrest some 'evil ability holders'. The police will help hide and protect their identities.

I am also a 'Ability Holder', so Sister Ye Xin has been persuading me to join the 'Hong Kong Club'.

Still, I wasn't very willing to join.

The most fundamental reason is that I feel that I look too scary, and how would I feel if I suddenly saw a person whose whole body was made of steel?

The skin on my hands is regenerating, and as soon as it encounters irreversible damage, it will automatically fade, revealing the core of steel, and it will recover after a while. If it is a small wound, it will heal slowly like a normal person.

But what happens if you are slashed with a thousand knives and your whole body, including your head?

I really don't know, I haven't tried it after all.

More than seven years have passed, and I haven't even used this ability much, and I have been living like a normal person, even if I am examined with medical devices, I will find that I am no different from a normal person.

I don't know exactly how it works, but thanks to this, I was able to live without any disturbances.

If you join the Hong Kong Association, you won't be able to go to and from school at a leisurely pace like you are now.

Thinking so, I looked at Liu Xin on the left.

Thanks to the fact that Harbor City is a harbor city, the winters are not too cold.

Liu Xin wore a school uniform, a blue coat, a white shirt, and a skirt with black stockings, which looked like clothes that would be worn in autumn. The mid-length black hair is just draped over the shoulders and slightly curled up to look shiny. The cheeks are round, the skin is red and white, the figure is very standard, not tall or mini, she is a very clean girl.

[But her previous hairstyle was not like this, and I don't know why she cut her hair short. 】

“……”

In about half an hour, we arrived at the gate of the school.

It's 7:30 for breakfast, classes start at 8 o'clock, and there's still half an hour to go.

We are both juniors in high school, but I decided to go to a local university in Harbour City, and the pressure of going on to higher education is not very great, and according to my current grades, there is a good chance that I will be stable.

I don't know what Liu Xin thinks, but I've never heard her thoughts about her college from her.

I walked into the classroom, and as soon as I opened the door, I saw the wind chimes sitting in my seat.

“……”

She did sit in her position, and that's right. For a student, there is no problem in sitting in the position, which is understandable and even natural.

But......

"Wind chimes, that's my place."

She sat in my place.

"I know."

She nodded and looked at me.

“……”

What should I say?

"Besides, this isn't your class."

When I entered the door, I checked that this was Class 3. The wind chimes are obviously for class 5.

"I know."

She brazenly admitted it.

"So what are you doing here?"

"To see you."

……

What a reason that is irrefutable.

She jerked up from her seat and patted me on the shoulder.

"Do you want to go to my house for another night tonight?"

Her voice was so loud that the whole class heard it, and because it was a senior year of high school, there were quite a few people who came to the class early.

"...... use the word 'again' very badly, when have I ever fought with you."

"Yes!"

"Obviously, I lose to you every time."

We're talking about taekwondo, and Wind Chime's family has a taekwondo gym, but recently it's not a serious job, and I've started to learn sanda.

When I was in junior high school, in order to defend myself, I went to a taekwondo gym in the city to learn taekwondo, but I didn't expect to meet a classmate from the same school, Su Fengling.

From that moment on, I would go to her gym every once in a while, in fact, sometimes to vent my emotions. It's a lot of fun to mess around with the pile, but I always choose to practice when no one is around, or in a separate VIP room, for fear that something will happen and the 'steel' body will be discovered.

After all these years, Wind Chimes has not discovered my secret.

"I was going to go today anyway."

Today is Thursday, December 8th, and the scheduled evening is for taekwondo practice.

"Hmmm! I'm waiting for you! - Ah, this one for you. ”

She smiled and handed me something.

Chocolate in the shape of a heart.

…… Sweets again.

"Thank you."

I thanked her, and she waved her hand and walked out the door.

I felt the look of disgust.

My classmates, who had been immersed in reading, stared at me viciously.

"Taekwondo."

I yelled at them, and they turned their heads back.

It's horrible.

Liu Xin ignored us and sat in his seat since he entered the classroom, reading a book.
