Chapter 31: The Hero of the Heart
Three minutes ago, the circus was still performing a wonderful performance in the training ground, and the gorgeous trapeze man, flying bear, flying horse and other programs attracted bursts of cheers.
And when an explosive piece of news came back, the entire training ground quickly became full of astonishment, and even the circus stopped performing for the time being.
"Who? who is likely to break the record? Pizarro, you know what?" asked a member of Elementary 1 to a student next to him.
Pizarro, who was asked, shrugged his shoulders: "Bliston, what are you kidding, I don't know how to prophecy, how can I know." β
The boy named Bliss thought for a moment and spoke again: "Could it be Senior Yadoka from Intermediate Class 1? He seems to be the first place in the last freshman competition, and he may be able to hit the record." β
Hearing him say this, Pizarro slammed his mouth: "I think it's Senior Sister Benilesna, I heard that woman is very strong, I must have secretly practiced hard." β
"Hehehehe, hehehe. A burst of inexplicable laughter suddenly came.
The two of them turned back in unison and scolded, "Rahim, are you laughing at a fart?"
"You say neither of these people is possible. Rahim replied confidently.
"And who do you say?" asked Pizarro, hurrying.
Rahim pretended to smile deeply, "I think it must be Lothas Sun." β
"So the sun elf in our class?" Bliston said, frowning.
Rahim nodded immediately: "Yes, the sun elves are close relatives of the moon elves, they live in the forest and are naturally good at running. β
Pizarro and Bliston looked at each other and laughed.
Then, Bliston said with a look of disdain: "You guy has started talking nonsense again, I just saw with my own eyes that that sissy in Lothas gave up early in the morning." β
"Uh...... How so...... How could you give up on the competition......" Rahim was speechless.
At this point, a chubby man interjected, "Could it be Leo Mineshir?" The ...... he prepared"
But before this Leo supporter finished speaking, it immediately attracted a group of rebuttal voices, and even some people who did not join the conversation instantly joined in.
"No way! No one can be him!"
"Sanders, we know that you have a good relationship with Leo, and you also showed your face with him at the annual meeting, but it really can't be him. β
"It's really impossible, everyone knows very well, that guy is a learning maniac, and he doesn't do anything but study every day. β
"That's right. No matter how strong his academic strength is, he has nothing to do with the Tour de la Race, it can't be him. β
............
As everyone guessed the target, but still didn't guess anything, the voice of the discussion finally became quieter.
Everyone waited until three minutes later, a figure they were all familiar with suddenly appeared, rushing to the finish line with absolute momentum. They had nothing but their mouths wide open and their faces full of horror. I couldn't make any other movements, and even the sound I wanted to make was stuck in my throat.
The crisp sound of footsteps on the track is particularly clear against the silence of the entire arena. And that focus doesn't know anything about it. All his thoughts had faded, and only the thought of crossing the finish line supported his already unconscious legs.
Seeing the black-haired youth running over at an incredible speed, the referee at the finish line immediately prepared to control the timer.
But he soon found out again. The man was already in a state of some kind of madness, nearing the end, and not only did he not slow down. On the contrary, it is still accelerating. If at this time, you run over to control the timer, you will be very likely to be bumped!
The referee at the end of the line didn't know what the consequences would be if he was hit by a person traveling at a speed of 100 kilometers per hour, but he knew that it was definitely not what he wanted, and he didn't go forward or backward for a while, so he froze in place.
Fortunately, there was another person waiting nearby, and he seemed much calmer.
The man's face was expressionless, cold as an iceberg, but his eyes staring at the front still revealed his slightly nervous feelings.
If Leo saw this face clearly, he would be very surprised, because that person turned out to be his current mentor, Geralson.
In many people's minds, Geralson is a rather boring person, who has no interest in life, and does not care about others. And his only interest seems to be experimenting, experimenting and experimenting, and torturing his students in a different way.
But now, such a person has appeared in the training ground, and the meaning is self-evident.
It's just that Leo can't see it anymore.
He still ran forward at an indomitable speed, but due to the excessive consumption of mental power, his eyes could no longer see things clearly, and even his consciousness began to become blurred, and he began to lose control of his body, and in the end, he was moving completely by inertia.
Three short seconds, a moment passed.
In the nick of time, Geralson stepped out, not only dodging the rushing Leo, but also pressing his hand firmly on the timer.
"Didi, Didi!"
The timer beeps to indicate that the time has been accurately recorded.
At this time, the end mage, who had just stretched out his hand, also let out a long breath, feeling both happy and ashamed in his heart. Fortunately, the results are absolutely accurate, and I am ashamed that what should have been done by myself was done by others.
"Thank you......" he said embarrassedly, and looking at Geralson's somewhat unfamiliar look, he asked politely: "May I ask ...... you are?"
Geralson didn't mean to respond at all, seeing the time on the timer, his face finally had some complicated expressions, but he quickly regained his strength and probed his mental power towards Leo, who rushed far away from the runway.
After getting the result he wanted, the middle-aged man with an indifferent face breathed a sigh of relief, recited a short incantation, and disappeared into thin air. The stunned finish referee left him alone.
At the same time, the training ground was still shrouded in silence, as if it was suppressing some kind of emotion, and once this emotion broke out, it would be like a tsunami of mountains.
People are waiting for the final results to be announced.
The guy who could still run that fast in the last moments...... Did you break the record?
At this time, there was an anxious inquiry from the communicator: "How's it going?
The referee at the finish line suddenly snapped, recovered from his distraction, and hurriedly looked at the timer next to him.
"15 points...... 07 seconds ......" the referee at the finish line said subconsciously, but soon remembered that he had just been cowardly and negligent. Almost didn't count the game time. Fortunately, someone I didn't know helped me complete the final time accurately and avoid the most embarrassing event of the year.
Merely...... After all, this result was not personally confirmed by the referee at the end of the line, so can the big names above recognize it?
He thought worriedly.
Of course, the people in the communicator didn't know this, and immediately became excited, shouting loudly: "Break the record! Ahaha! Break the record! Hey, did you hear that? That kid broke the record! I'll just say I'm not mistaken! He's a record-breaking material at first glance!"
After hesitating for a moment, the referee at the finish line did not dare to act rashly, and hurriedly switched to Rubersky's channel through the communicator in GuΓ²'s hand.
"Assistant to the Dean. The time I'm showing here is 15:07...... However, this result is not for me, but for another colleague. β
"How so?" said Rubersky's confused voice over the communicator.
"You should have seen it, the kid was running at me at that time, the speed was too fast, I ......" The referee was embarrassed to say that he was timid, but paused and said again: "But I can guarantee that the result he confirmed is absolutely accurate."
There was a brief silence. Rubersky responded: "I can't do this thing either, you wait a minute, I'll ask the dean what he means." β
............
"Of course it works, but what else is there to say? Not really. Siliman, you go and cast a time rewind, and everything will be clear. Fran tilted his head.
Silriman shook his head categorically and said, "It's not necessary at all. β
"Huh?" Fran didn't understand the other party's attitude.
Silriman rolled his eyes, but patiently explained, "You hibernating bear has been dozing off just now, of course you haven't noticed. But I saw it with my own eyes, and as Leo crossed the finish line, Geralsson pressed the timing button. That is, there is no advance and no lag behind. So 15 minutes and 07 seconds is a very accurate result. β
"Geralson, when did this guy come here, and where is it?" said Fran, hurriedly scanning down with his eyes.
Siriman smiled: "That guy is already gone." I guess I can't afford to be defeated by my own students. β
"Makes sense. Fran bowed slightly, and there was a look of schadenfreude on his face.
But Silriman frowned, and muttered: "This little guy is hidden deep enough, red dragon blood, magic armed, what else is there that we don't know?"
"And this?ahem, I really shouldn't sleep, why don't you wake me up?" Fran complained to Silimane, and then continued: "But it's not such a person, how can it be possible to break the record? Geralson was already an advanced student when he broke the record, and his own level was level 4. And that guy is always training as a warrior, and his physical strength is not known to be much stronger than others. β
Silriman said approvingly: "Yes, it seems that we really found a monster student for the monster teacher......"
Fran burst out laughing, "That's a fitting analogy for you." β
Unexpectedly, Silriman suddenly straightened his colors and said in a deep voice: "You can still laugh? What reward should you give for breaking the record?" You are embarrassed to take a random magic item to make up the number, I am embarrassed to open my eyes and see." β
Hearing what the other party said, Fran suddenly looked embarrassed, and scratched his head helplessly: "This is really a problem, do you have any ideas?"
Touching his white beard, Silriman said something that made the hearts of everyone around him tremble: "What can I think, open the vault." β
Fran was dumbfounded: "Will it ...... Too much?"
............
A full five minutes passed, but the result still did not come out, many people began to lose their patience, and the training ground was once again in a buzzing discussion.
At this time, the magically amplified voice of Ruberski GuΓ² finally sounded: "Now announce a great news! Leo Mineshir, a student in Intermediate 1, broke the 21-year-old record for the Tour of the Collegiate held by Geralson Constantine with an excellent time of 15 minutes and 07 seconds!"
In an instant, a huge wave of sound erupted in the training ground.
Although many people have speculated that Leo should have succeeded, when this matter was said by the assistant dean himself, it still made people feel very shocked.
The cheers and applause came one after another, and even the circus performance on the venue temporarily stopped, and the cheerful music began to be played again, which made the atmosphere even more enthusiastic.
Soon, driven by some people, the sound gradually converged into a few simple words.
"Leo!"
"The king of the roundabouts!"
"Leo!"
"The king of the roundabouts!"
Almost everyone was shouting, and at this moment, Leo once again became the target of the boys, the idol of the girls, and the hero of all the intermediate class 1 students.
According to the rules of the academy, breaking the record will add an additional 10 points to the class, which is equivalent to more than three first places, which will almost guarantee that Class 1 will win the points championship of this competition, and even hope to defeat the senior Class 1 with Leia and qualify for the challenge professor group.
However, the protagonist of this qiΔ is just standing quietly in the corner of the training ground.
Yan zhΓ²ng's mental power and body were overdrawn, so that Leo lost most of his perception, and he could only hear a very vague voice, as if it was about some record, and as if it was his own name.
"I guess I succeeded, didn't I?" he thought.
Suddenly, a soft body hugged him tightly, and a clearer voice came from his ears: "Leo! You broke the record! You broke the record! You improved the record by 4 seconds compared to Geralson's! You succeeded!"
"I ...... It worked...... Hehe......" Leo's face showed a satisfied smile, "thank you...... Lothas. β
Lothas's face turned red: "Thank me for what?"
Leo replied with some difficulty, "Thank you...... Sue sΓΉ me...... This one...... Good news. β
"Oh......" Hearing this, Lothas couldn't help but be a little disappointed, let go of Leo, and then asked the question that had been bothering him for several minutes: "By the way, what did you say to me when you just entered the training ground and were about to start sprinting?"
Leo turned his brain, which had begun to stiffen, desperately for a moment before replying, "I said...... I didn't want to give up......"
As soon as he finished speaking, he finally ran out of all his energy, his eyes went black, he passed out completely, and his body fell to the ground.
Lorsas reacted in time and hugged Leo again. However, when he saw the other party like this, he was frightened, and his face instantly turned from red to white, and he screamed: "Leo! Leo! What's wrong with you? Wake up!"
"He's fine, he's just weak, come on, let's send him back to the dormitory for a good rest. At some point, Lorinda, who appeared next to her, grabbed one of Leo's arms and held him against her. (To be continued......)
