I like you

There was a ghostly chuckle in her ears, Sakura closed her eyes, and the next moment she felt a piercing chill rushing into her body with a huge almost unbearable force, her whole body spasmed unconsciously, and there was escaping blood between her bitten lips and teeth.

"Heavenly ......"

Izumi, who had just finished the game and saw the abnormal rush to the sidelines, paused, and looked at the field with eyes full of disbelief.

She grabbed the fence on the sidelines of the field, and looked at the terrifying figure that was wrapped in a black mist like a substance from Sakurano's head, swooping down and pouring into Sakurano's body, muttering in disbelief.

"Crazy......"

Even though it is a homologous community, when the power that has been locked for so many years breaks through the shackles and merges into the body, it still feels a sharp pain that almost cuts through the arrow.

In the eyes of everyone who could see it, a huge windswept that could almost rival the gray vortex of Number 1 was enveloped in an instant—the screaming and wailing of ghostly shadows enveloped in the black windsweep along with the sound of the hunting wind.

Terrifying dark red lines stretched and spread, and the roots of the blossoming flowers spread from top to bottom, and the mist that poured into Sakurano's body spread over her body.

The blood-colored lines of the strange ghost flickered...... Nestled against the blooming and withering flowers, the cherry blossoms that only seem to be in the middle of the storm have an almost enchanting and eerie beauty.

In just a few breaths, that forbidden power roared and galloped through her body, but ...... There was too much power for her to hold at once!

Unstoppable blood escaped at the corners of her mouth, Sakura frowned in pain, if it went on like this, she ......

As if knowing her thoughts, Sakurano had a hearty smile in her ears...... Unlike the impenetrable barrier that it used to be, it was now rooted in her flesh and marrow, almost merging with her.

"Rest assured...... How can I give up...... Break our body......"

The downwelling air weakened, slowly converging behind Sakurano and condensing the slender figure that half-hugged her, with huge wings spreading, and blood-red flowers and vines blooming and withering around it...... Ghostly and bewitching.

The black mist that had not yet dissipated condensed on the figure, and the sound from the sidelines looked carefully...... Unexpectedly, she found that the figure was slowly condensing a clear face, she clenched her teeth, and her voice trembled with a hint that she didn't even realize it.

"Really...... Maniac ......"

Sakurano wiped the blood from the corners of her lips, the ink in her eyes was filled, and she looked back with a light smile rubbed into the demonic color on her face.

"Come on...... Test your strength. ”

Sakura no looked at the face that was almost identical to her behind her, the lines dyed in the corners of her eyes flashed with a dark red light, she turned her head and raised her hand-

"Boom!"

The sound of the explosion carried the thunder away! A huge blade emerges!

Caught in the wind and fog! The giant blade with countless blood streaks slashed downward!

With a single blow, he blasted through the engulfing whirlpool—

In the moment after the fog cleared, it was another heavy split!

Right on top of the folded gray wings! A loud crash and tearing sound resounded throughout the audience!

The massive crack split its folded wings from top to bottom, and it visibly trembled, and countless roaring ghosts rushed out—only to be swallowed into the spike in an instant by the giant blade that split into arrows!

The gray mist flowed, and in a few breaths, it was swallowed up by Sakurano's powerful blade!

She gasped for breath, and she could even feel the new power that poured into her body, and she could feel the pleasure of its contention with a chuckle in her ears.

The situation was reversed in an instant, Sakurano stroked the hot demon lines on his forehead, and saw that the No. 1 on the opposite side finally made a move.

"You're ...... now. It's really interesting. ”

No. 1 scattered the dilapidated wings behind him, raised his hand and withdrew the remaining gray smoke on the field, and stood on the field cleanly, still not seeing half of the embarrassment of being at a disadvantage.

"I was wrong."

No. 1 looked seriously at Sakurano who was hugged and smiled lightly on the other side, and his clear eyes were blown away by the wind for a moment, revealing a trace of indescribable hidden depths.

"It will be interesting to guide you."

"Guide me?"

Sakurano was slightly stunned, and only looked at the clear light in the eyes of No. 1 on the other side, and a shallow smile as clear as spring water appeared on his expressionless face...... Vivid...... Shine......

"I like you very much."

A clear spring-like voice sounded, and No. 1 withdrew his smile and slapped horizontally in Sakurano's surprised eyes.

He raised one hand, and under the gaze of everyone, he slowly condensed a cluster of clear smoke shadows in his palm, patted it horizontally, and slowly pushed it out.

And the next second-

Sakurano looked at the extremely beautiful clear smoke shadow that flashed in front of her eyes, and cautiously summoned the fire to block it, but at the moment when the two met-

"Bang!"

The power of the whole body collapsed in a single breath!

Sakurano was stunned as she watched the smoke that shattered and melted into her body along with the flames, only to find herself half-kneeling unconscious.

"It's a shame...... It's not time to ...... yet."

There was a low murmur of greed and longing in his heart, and it behind Sakurano also collapsed at the moment when the smoke and shadow shattered...... In the blink of an eye, it rushed back to the deepest part of her body.

The wind and fog dissipated, the fireworks faded - everything returned to the eerie calm that followed the boom in an instant.

The final reversal - the clouds are light and the wind is light...... No trace......

"One district one second set, number 1 wins."

The final whistle blew, waking up a group of people who were still in a trance.

The body had no ability to move, Sakurano could only raise his head, watch the No. 1 on the opposite side approach, and squatted down in front of him, just like that night, extremely close, and his breath was ambiguously wound on his face.

"I like you very much."

No. 1 said it again, his voice clear and sincere under the warm breath.

Sakurano frowned, but saw No. 1 stretch out his hand, and a faint smoke color swirled around his fingertips, touching the lines that had disappeared from the corners of her forehead, and then stroking the scattered

of hair.

"I'm Charlot."

He looked into Sakurano's eyes, clear but couldn't see the depths.

"It's nice to get along."

The brisk voice dissipated into the air, and Sakurano watched the man walk away, and the last extremely bright and rare shallow smile of the man flashed in front of him.

Half-night...... She finally stroked her throat and gasped sharply, and fell to her knees in a little embarrassment.

The sound around him was a little distant, Sakurano looked at the sweat-soaked ground in her hand in distraction, blinked in a trance, and the deep and dark light flickered.

"Charlot......

"Huh...... You, are you alright? ”

Standing up with difficulty, Sakura no walked out of the venue, met with a somewhat awkward but worried look, she pinched her eyebrows and shook her head, her smile was still faint, but with a trace of blood remaining at the corner of her mouth, her face was a little pale.

"You actually."

Sakurano had already walked away a few steps, and thinking of what she had seen, Izumi bit her lip and still opened her mouth.

"Have you really figured it out...... Will it work?"

Hearing the question, Sakurano stopped, didn't look back, and her voice was still a little hoarse.

"I can."

"Yinyin, you remember."

She paused, and then took another step, one step at a time, unusually steady and determined.

"What you see now is me five years later."

Yes, I woke up five years later, not the little girl who was immersed in grief and crying, hiding from the vulnerable, she grew up, she woke up.

So I can, go where I need to go, and fight without fear.

The sun was setting in the west, and the twilight was deep.

After a short break and meal time, the tired players were notified to come to the hall where they had gathered, and at this moment the screen scrolled to the final ranking results of the daytime competition.

"Dash...... Da ......"

The sound of gentle footsteps came from the stairs on the side, and everyone looked up together, and a slender figure slowly descended, with thin lips pursed, and a sharp gaze behind gold-rimmed glasses.

There was also a petite figure behind him like a shadow, half of his face was covered by short hair, and his face was delicate, and the whole person was light and slender, and he didn't make a sound behind the man.

"I'm the head coach of the Japanese team in this friendly match, Igarashi."

The man lifted his glasses, and his phoenix eyes were sharp, which was Igarashi's first name.

Sakurano in the crowd looked at some familiar men, and her eyes flashed over the petite figure behind Hatsuna.

"Today's knockout round is over, and I'm here to announce the last ten tentative team members."

"There are seven people who have won two or more games, in order of No. 1, No. 6, No. 3, No. 8, No. 10, No. 2 and No. 5."

In addition to the five people who were in the top five in the first stage, the other No. 2 and No. 5 were the twins that Sakurano was concerned about

Her gaze swept over No. 1 and Izumi, and the remaining No. 8 and No. 10 were a man and a woman, all of whom looked mediocre, and No. 8, who had played against Izumi, was a power type, and No. 10 was ...... Sakurano glanced at the skinny girl with her head bowed and withdrew her gaze.

"Of the remaining thirteen, I chose No. 13, No. 7 and No. 20 for the sake of winning and on-the-spot performance."

There was a small agitation in the crowd, and among the three people who read the first name, except for No. 13, who won a draw and retained a win rate on the premise of losing one, the other two people were three defeats, and someone could beat them.

Sakurano was not surprised to see that the 13th who had fought against her was retained, her momentum was ...... Anyone with a discerning eye will see the potential.

No. 7 and No. 20, she looked at each other, she hadn't seen it a few times, No. 7 with eyes, looked like a skinny boy.

And No. 20 is also a boy, but he is tall, with a bit of mixed-race handsomeness, and a cynical face.

Sakurano was secretly looking, but suddenly turned her gaze to the 7th who was facing her from above, and there was a hint of interest in her eyes, so she only smiled lightly and withdrew her gaze from looking around.

"The rest of the people will leave the training center immediately, and the tentative team members will go upstairs with me."

Hatsuna's faint voice sounded, his tone was unquestionable, and he didn't react superfluously to the restlessness in the crowd, turned around and went up the stairs again.

Yamazawa behind him lowered his eyebrows and followed without any sense of presence, followed by the ten team members who were tentatively left.
