Chapter 1: Signs of Change
"Ah, good morning, Shogo."
"Early."
"Hey, look at you, sweaty profusely, you're exercising again? You really don't mean to give up at all......"
"Hehe, of course, that's my dream! By the way, do you want to be my royal guard? Kota, for the sake of us being close friends, I can make you a knight chief~"
In the face of Zhuang Wu's nth invitation, Guangtai smiled and scolded: "Forget it, Zhuang Wu, also, I advise you not to have such unrealistic ideas anymore, now it is a democratic society, a democratic society, how can there be a king who rules the world?" Even if it does, it must be the Demon King who started a brutal war. ”
Facing the cold water splashed by his friend, Zhuang Wu didn't refute, just smiled and shook his head.
[Even if I become a demon king, I must be the most benevolent and benevolent demon king!] ]
Shogo sighed softly, said goodbye to his best friend, and continued his morning run.
For a long time, he had been dreaming of a man who could not see clearly and kept telling him, "You will definitely be king."
Of course, if it was just like this, even he wouldn't have been able to hold on for so long, at most he would have given up after graduating from the second year of secondary school, but ......
Zhuang Wu suddenly stretched out his palm and pressed it forward.
Da Da Da –
With the sound of the clock and minute hands moving rapidly, perhaps only he could hear, the world suddenly stood still, as if the whole world had suddenly been paused......
Shogo's eyes narrowed.
No, it's not like, it's just that time is paused!
This ability......
This power ......
Zhuang Wu let out a long breath.
It was precisely because of the existence of the power of this 'King's Certificate' that he couldn't give up-
With a wave of his hand, the flow of time returned to normal, and Shogo continued to run.
The morning is still a long time, so you don't need to worry about whether you will be late for class.
At least, that's the case for him.
……
After flushing his face at the faucet on the side of the road and replenishing his water by the way, Shogo finished his workout this morning.
However, the next moment, when he was about to shake off the water droplets in his hand, he found that there was suddenly a black watch in his originally empty hand.
It was a strange watch, with only a dial on the head, but no hour and minute hands, let alone the time.
"It's ...... What? ”
A puzzled look inevitably appeared on Zhuang Wu's face for a while.
He looked around, and the only person who was there was who was still far away from him, a stranger who was also on a morning jog.
"—Could it be a paranormal event?"
Holding this watch in his hand, a strange feeling suddenly rose from the bottom of his heart, as if this watch would bring him powerful enough power to step on the royal road as long as he wanted to!
For a while, Zhuang Wu's thoughts were surging in his mind, and various speculations surfaced.
[Have you finally waited?] Opportunities to make your dreams come true......]
[Who gave me the watch?] ]
[Ghosts?] It's scary~]
Suppressing the excitement in his heart and calming down, Zhuang Wu looked at the watch in his hand, was silent, suddenly put it on the ground, and turned to leave.
Although it feels like there is, but this watch is still too weird, if someone else gave it, what is the purpose of that person? If it was his own power summoning, then even if he lost it at this time, it would still be back in his hands later.
Thinking like this, Shogo went around in a big circle, returned to the same place, and picked up the watch.
"Alas......"
He let out a long sigh and smiled helplessly.
Shunichiro Tokiwa, his uncle once told him, when the opportunity comes to you, don't hesitate, don't be afraid of the risk, seize it, don't think that there will be other opportunities in the future and give it up by luck, because, life is not so complete, one miss may be a lifetime miss.
Putting his watch in his pocket, Shogo set off and ran in the direction of the school.
Although I have written "I want to be king" on my application, and I have no intention of taking the entrance exam, as a student, it is the most basic quality to attend classes on time and not be late.
Stepping into the classroom with the bell of class, walking leisurely steps to your seat, full of style.
I saw the teacher walk into the classroom, erect a handout on the podium, and look down.
As the squad leader, Zhuang Wu shouted clearly and powerfully: "Stand up!" ”
"Rites."
"Sit down."
The teacher nods and asks the students to sit down before the class begins.
As a class leader, in the past three years, Zhuang Wu has strictly implemented the class rules, kept the class tightly organized, and read one book after another on management, although he is not very proficient, but fortunately, the classmates are friendly and supportive, so everything went well.
Seeing that this 'small country' was about to come to an end, Zhuang Wu couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion for a while.
If he really realizes his dream in the future, starting to manage the small and large founding kingdom, the 'practice' process of the past three years is his most valuable experience.
In the afternoon club activities, Zhuang Wu dropped off, neither went to the taekwondo club, nor went to the kendo club, archery club, etc., but chose to leave school directly.
He was going to go home right away and ask his uncle to help him study the watch.
You know, his family runs a watch shop.
Although it is like a radio, a computer, even a TV, a washing machine, etc., once it breaks, the neighbors also habitually come to the 9-to-5 class to ask the uncle to repair it......
But for the watch, Zhuang Wu said: My uncle is absolutely professional!
Running on the way back to the 9-to-5 Hall, at the place where he went up the stairs of the overpass, Shogo was blocked by a man wearing gray clothes and a scarf around his head like a hood to see his face clearly.
[Who?] ]
[Neighborhood new defective?] ]
[What does he want to do?] ]
Zhuang Wu couldn't help but clench his fists, and then he saw the man turn the pages of the book and say this to him.
"Congratulations."
Zhuang Wu suddenly looked confused.
"Huh?"
"Today is a special day for you, as recorded in the book."
The scarf man turned around and continued as he walked.
"But you'd better keep an eye out for the red robot."
In the last sentence, the scarf man stopped, faced him, and finished speaking as if giving him advice, jingling, and the sound of a car bell ringing behind him, Zhuang Wu just glanced back, and then turned his head, and the man disappeared.
[Blindfolding?] ]
[Magic?] ]
[The Great Change?] ]
And this elusive way of behaving......
"—Did he put the watch in my hand?"
Shogo took the watch out of his pocket and looked at it carefully...... No, it's just the people involved.
Throwing the watch up and catching it again, a helpless smile appeared on Zhuang Wu's face: "No, maybe it's an older secondary two patient who has read too many novels, maybe it'......"
