Chapter Forty-Six: Is It Really Him?
"Olmet, who do you think is the most trusted person in the world?" Duanmu Feng didn't answer directly, but looked at Olmet with a smile on his face
"The most trustworthy ······ I don't think there's anything unusual about your personal experience, so why would you ask that? Olmet looked at Duanmu Feng with blazing eyes, trying to see something from his face.
"Do you know what genius is? - You may not believe it, or you just think it's just a child's whimsy, but I know almost exactly what you are about to know about adult society, so I ask you who the most trustworthy person in the world is. Duanmu Feng was not afraid of Ormet's gaze at all, and even met him to meet him.
For a matter of seconds, the room was plunged into an atmosphere of unusual silence.
"All you want to say is yourself," Ormet replied in a dry tone, not wanting to continue the conversation.
"That's right, whether it's parents, brothers, husbands and wives, friends, no matter how close they are, it's always someone else, that kind of trust without boundaries, if it's anything else, there's no problem, but there is only one thing, the only person you can trust is yourself." Duanmu Feng's expression was still calm, but the faint excitement in his tone had betrayed his emotions at this time.
Olmet frowned, but did not interrupt Duanmu Feng.
"It's just a dream. A dream for which one can give everything. Duanmu Feng paused to calm down his emotions and turned his head to look at Olmet, "You may not know, I once pinned my dream on you, although not all, but you are the most crucial part of it." ”
"But I didn't expect you to be like this!"
“······ You've pinned your dreams on me," Ormet said, word for word.
"Yes, 'born hero' and 'symbol of peace' seemed to me to be the best candidate at the time, but I didn't expect that - you don't have that qualification now." Duanmu Feng didn't use honorifics and admiration like other students, and the dissatisfaction in his tone was almost directly in front of him.
"That's a pity, I can know what your so-called dream is?" Olmet didn't mind Duanmu Feng's tone, and still said calmly.
"My dream - hehe, very simple, is to build a world where the weak will not be bullied, people are kind and righteous and can freely pursue their dreams, without sin and pain." Duanmu Feng said with a smile.
"It's so simple, this kind of world may only exist in dreams, and it's really distressing to pin this kind of illusory dream on me." ”
Duanmu Feng was silent.
"At your age, you always think about unrealistic things, and you think they are the fruit of mature thoughts, but in fact, I have had dreams like this, but these have eventually become ideals."
"Yes, it's very unrealistic," Duanmu Feng whispered, but at the moment he was also saying in his heart, "But I don't want to destroy this world again, so even if it's unrealistic, there's only one way for me to go." "Thinking about his parents, eight million hundred, and his few friends, whether it is for himself or for them, he can't do it. Thinking of this, Mu Feng couldn't help but feel a little lost.
"Sure enough, it's still a child," Olmet finally relieved when he looked at Duanmu Feng's slightly disappointed expression - this guy finally behaved like a child!
was about to step forward to comfort him, but Duanmu Feng recovered by himself and took a deep breath, Duanmu Feng returned to his original expression and looked at Olmet with an inexplicable smile.
“······” Olmet's body stiffened.
"Tell me about you, if I'm not mistaken, you've been in this state for years. And in this state, it is not easy for you to maintain the glamorous state before. ”
"And if I'm not mistaken, you've been in a serious decline lately - if you look closely, you'll see that you're appearing less and less in public, and although you are still active on the surface, it may not last long, that's why you chose to teach Xiongying, I'm right."
"Sure enough, you know a lot, but the actual situation is almost like this, although I don't want to accept it, but five years ago I was injured once, my abdomen was pierced, and my entire stomach was removed······ Anyway, it's been getting worse every day since then. But now that you know, you know, but please don't make a noise to the outside world, because..."
"Because you are a 'symbol of peace' and a 'born hero', if the situation of your weakness is made public, it may even cause panic among the common people, and those evils that have been suppressed for a long time will become active, and the whole society may be in turmoil because of it." Duanmu Feng said with a mocking expression.
"Ah, yes, almost... That's what it means—perhaps, I now understand why geniuses aren't likable," Olmet helplessly looked at Duanmu Feng, who had seen almost everything clearly.
"Actually, you're just surviving by doing this, there is no new symbol born, and once you fall, everything you did before will be in vain, but you've already arranged your own successor, right, it's that Midoriya Izuku."
Ormet smiled bitterly twice and nodded helplessly
“······ Is it really him? But this time it was Duanmu Feng's turn to frown.
