From Ryo Hoshino discovering that there was someone in front of him, to his body subconsciously reacting, there were only a few seconds. If you don't see it with your own eyes, no one would believe that a person can twist his body in the air so as not to bump into other people.

They watched as the figure grazed past the standing man, slammed it to the ground, and even failed to find its center of gravity because it had changed direction in the air, and rolled around on the ground before stopping.

Everyone was a little speechless for a while, and it wasn't until Hanhe Jiang Yong shouted that they finally reacted.

"You, are you alright?"

The people standing on the sidelines surrounded him and asked cautiously.

Hoshino, who was lying on the ground, moved. The fall cleared his mind a little, and although his ears were still buzzing, he could already hear other people's voices. He shook off his head, which was still a little groggy, and was just about to stand up when the stabbing pain in his right wrist made his arm go limp, and he fell back to the ground again.

This time he was completely stunned.

"—Hoshino, Hoshino! How are you? Are there any injuries?! Hanhe Jiang Yong rushed the fastest, and the five-color worker was two steps behind, and the two of them squatted down beside him at the same time, asking anxiously. The rest of Shiratorizawa also hurried over, and the other schools retreated with interest, letting them see how the team was doing.

Ryo Hoshino changed his hand and tried to get up again.

This time he succeeded, but his expression was still a little stunned. He looked down at his right wrist, and he didn't really need to look at it, he could understand the situation from the numb fingers and the constant tingling sensation.

The others followed his gaze and had some guesses in their hearts. The eagle craftsman standing in the middle of the forging face sank like water: "Taiyi, you play." Han Hejiang, help him up. ”

"Uh-oh." Xiao Cuntou reached out to help the person, but as soon as he touched the other party's arm, the hot temperature made him stunned. He cried out, "...... Hoshino, do you have a fever?! ”

Hearing this, everyone else was stunned. The five-color worker immediately reached out and touched it: "It's really hot!" Before he could say anything more, he felt a gloomy cold light shoot behind him, and he cautiously turned his head to see that the eagle craftsman's face was already black enough to come out of the water.

The old man gritted his teeth and said, "-Go to the infirmary!" ”

*

Miyagi University Medical Office. The place, which seemed empty because of the holiday, welcomed its first guest. After Hanhe Jiang Yong put down the people, he was driven back by the Eagle Craftsman Forging, and now there are only three people left in it: the old man, Hoshino Ryo and the school doctor on duty.

The right wrist has been swollen in a short period of time. The school doctor asked Ryo Hoshino how he felt while watching, and after he finished the examination, before he could say anything, he heard the old man say in a deep voice: "Please take a look at your leg again." ”

The silver-haired young man sitting on the edge of the bed stiffened, and of course this little look could not be concealed from the eagle craftsman, and he snorted coldly at the moment.

The atmosphere in the infirmary was even more stiff.

The school doctor checked the condition of Ryo Hoshino's leg according to his words, and then took out the thermometer that the boy had tucked under his arm and looked at it.

"38.5, don't you realize it's all like this, and still go play? Do you feel that this temperature is not high enough, and you want to pursue the stimulation of high fever that does not go away? "I don't know if it's because I have to go to work during the holidays, and the social animal atmosphere on the school doctor is quite strong. Ryo Hoshino didn't dare to say a word, and the man threw the thermometer with a cold face

Throw it back, sit back in the chair and write the medical certificate.

"There was nothing wrong with the leg, a slight sprain on the ankle of the right foot, no bones. The right wrist is more serious, it looks like he should have injured the ligament, I will help him fix it later, and he will not play for a month. ”

One month?

Ryo Hoshino was stunned by this time: "But, but-"

"A month is just a conservative estimate, and you're hurting your wrist, and it's troublesome to fix. If you still want to play in the future, it's best to keep me alone and heal your injury. The man glanced at him, turned to the eagle smith and said, "If you can, I suggest you take him to the hospital to take a film to see if the bones are okay." ”

The latter nodded with a calm face.

After the school doctor took care of the wounds, he seemed to know that they were going to speak, and walked out directly.

There were only two people in the infirmary. They were silent for a long time, until Ryo Hoshino raised his eyes until Ryo Hoshino took two steps towards the bed.

"Coach, I-"

"You've been in terrible form lately." Washismith's brow never relaxed, "I'm always distracted from training, and I was distracted during the practice match just now, right?" ”

Ryo Hoshino was speechless.

"What the hell do you think? Is it complacent to be a starter? I told you a long time ago that the starting position has never been stable, there are so many people in the team, but whenever your state declines a little, you will be replaced by me, don't you understand this truth? ”

I wanted to say something, but after seeing the young man's bloodless lips, the old man frowned and swallowed the words back.

"Okay, if you have a fever, you can rest, you don't have to worry about the game."

Both know what this sentence means. Hoshino said in a hoarse voice, "...... Be. ”

/>

The eagle smith left with a stinky face. When the door closed, there was only one person left inside. He just sat there, his always straight back bent down at some point, and he looked a little rickety.

He looked at a certain place quietly, as if he was thinking about something, but he didn't seem to think about anything, just sitting.

*

As soon as the morning practice match was over, he just wanted to run away, and he saw the eagle craftsman looking at him coldly: "No one is allowed to go." ”

Most of the team's actions are a meal.

Xiao Cuntou immediately shouted: "For-"

"Brave General~" Tian Tong Jue grabbed him from behind and interrupted him, "Isn't Ryo feverish, he should be resting now, it's more appropriate for us to go to see him after the afternoon is over." ”

He glanced at the old man with a dark face vaguely, and the other party heard this, but did not refute it, but just looked away as if by default.

No matter how worried General Hanhe Jiang was, he had to let go: "Okay......"

The afternoon game passed in this scorching atmosphere, and this time, the gallop of the Hanhe River was not blocked. The five-color worker who just wanted to stop him looked at the running posture of the dog chasing behind him, and he didn't know what to say for a while, but Tiantong Jue patted him: "Let's go, let's go with you." ”

The others silently followed, and the group went to the infirmary. As soon as I pushed the door open, I saw a small head circling around the hospital bed, and the words kept chanting in his mouth: "How are you?"

What's going on? Has the fever gone away? How do you hold a splint between your hands?! Hurt a bone? ”

"Okay, okay, you asked so many questions at once, Ryo couldn't answer at all, right?" Tian Tongjue walked in, pulled over the chair on the side and sat down, and asked the young man on the bed with a smile, "How are you resting?" ”

"Hmm." Ryo Hoshino looked at them, "Everyone...... Why are they all here? ”

"You're our team's [Gemini], of course we're going to come and see you." Eita Semi stepped forward. This was the first time he had said the title of [Gemini], and even Tiantong Jue looked at him in surprise.

"Is it badly hurt?" Shiyin looked at his right hand.

Ryo Hoshino shook his head: "The bones are fine, but the ligaments are injured." ”

Yamagata Hayato frowned: "Hurting the ligaments is not a small problem, you have to be careful to heal the injury, don't leave any sequelae." ”

Hearing this, Ryo Hoshino was silent for a moment before nodding.

"It really scared me at the time, I thought you were going to bump into it, but you reacted quickly." Tian Tong Jue said half-jokingly, "I didn't expect Ryo's flexibility to be so good." ”

"It's really thrilling, and if you hit it, the injury might be even worse." Ohira Shiyin echoed.

Anyone with a discerning eye knew that Ryo Hoshino was in a very low mood, so he didn't mention the injury after that, and began to talk about the afternoon practice match.

"In the afternoon, the ace of Miyagi Education came on, and his strength was even more outrageous than the other main attacker, and it felt like his hand was going to break when he blocked the net."

"Yes, yes, and that free man from Northeast Medicine, the ball is so strong, I thought the ball was out of bounds, but he kicked it back with his foot!"

They were talking, and Ryo Hoshino listened quietly next to him, and for a while, the atmosphere in the infirmary seemed to be a little more lively. But it all ends with the opening of Wari Ushijima.

"You weren't focused enough, so you made a mistake."

The atmosphere froze instantly.

Ryo Hoshino looked up at him. His brow furrowed slightly, his eyes were puzzled, but his expression was very calm, as if he didn't realize what he had said, or maybe he was aware, but he still spoke.

Semi Eita just wanted to say something, but saw that Tendo Satoru gave him a look, and then shook his head imperceptibly.

Ryo Hoshino didn't answer immediately. Not focused enough? Indeed, even dreams and reality cannot be distinguished, and they are affected by dreams, thus neglecting the observation of their surroundings, which ultimately leads to such a result.

"Yes." He said calmly.

"Why?" The boy's brow furrowed even tighter, "You shouldn't be like this." ”

It shouldn't be like this...... Is it?

Ryo Hoshino lowered his eyes. This time, he fell into a longer silence, to the point where everyone else was starting to fidget. Tian Tong Jue silently watched the development of the situation, and finally, he stood up: "Oh, Ruoli, what are you doing-"

"I'm afraid of losing." The boy's voice suddenly sounded, making the red-haired boy's words stuck: "Huh? ”

Ryo Hoshino raised his eyes and met those brown-green eyes. His expression was calm, calm to the point that others thought they had misheard. But soon, the other party repeated word by word:

"Because I'm afraid of losing."

That's right, everything is just because he is afraid of losing, and there is no special reason.

From the very beginning,

He's just a coward!
