abandoned light

Chapter 9 The Persevering Sunspot

Vulcan is now completely sure that Kise is an idiot, and he has become an idiot for asking him why seriously.

He ignored Kise, but went to the kitchen to help Kise prepare lunch.Kise is still running a fever. Lunch must be both nutritious and tasty. It took Vulcan a lot of time. After everything is ready, the team's early training time has long passed.

"This time I will definitely be scolded by the supervisor." After putting the prepared bento in the refrigerator and telling Kise not to act recklessly, Vulcan rushed out, and finally caught the bus. Sitting in the car, Vulcan felt that this The morning is simply more tiring than the team's training.

Although he missed the team's training, but luckily he was not late. He didn't want to be punished by that strange bald old man at all.Stepping on the class bell and rushing into the classroom, Vulcan breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time began to struggle with how to explain to the coach that he was late in the morning.

"It's all the fault of that guy Kise." Thinking of the coach's Hedong lion roar, Vulcan couldn't help complaining, "I just know how to cause trouble."

"Vulcan-kun, what trouble did Kise-kun give you?" Heizi's voice sounded silently behind him.

Vulcan, who was still immersed in his own thoughts just now, was shocked, stood up reflexively, turned around and glared at Heizi who was sitting behind him, and shouted as usual: "Heizi, don't always appear out of nowhere like this Okay? People scare people, but they scare people to death."

After yelling, Vulcan suddenly remembered that his relationship with Heizi is not that close at all.They are just an ordinary relationship between the front and back desks and teammates, and it is very rude to yell in such a rough voice.

"Vulcan Lord, I was already here before you entered the classroom." Heizi obviously didn't expect Vulcan's reaction to be so big, he blinked and explained innocently.

Seeing Heizi's expression, Vulcan immediately compromised. Regardless of the future, past or present, every time Heizi looked at him with such eyes and expressions, he would always have nothing to do with him.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little strange, and just when Vulcan was about to say something to break the atmosphere that he was not good at coping with, the Mandarin teacher who had been ignored by Vulcan for a long time on the podium finally said unbearably: "Vulcan Me, what are you doing during class time? Stand outside as punishment."

Vulcan's face completely collapsed now, today must be his unlucky day, Vulcan, who was punished to stand with the bucket on his head, thought about crying without tears.

"Mr. Vulcan, I have already asked you to leave for the training in the morning." Heizi appeared silently on the left of Vulcan again, and learned the lesson just now. Although Vulcan was startled again, he didn't call out again.

"Heizi, is it alright for you to come out like this?" Vulcan asked with a headache, he is most afraid of being alone with Heizi now, and he doesn't know how to face him, "Doesn't the teacher know how to curse?"

"Vulcan Lord, don't worry, my sense of presence is very low, and the teacher won't pay attention if I don't specifically call my name."

Only at this time, Vulcan would be envious of Heizi's skill.

There was a sudden silence between the two, and after a while, Heizi raised his head and looked at Vulcan. His eyes were serious and full of expectation and he said, "Vulcan-lord, regarding yesterday's proposal, I hope you can think about it again!"

Vulcan avoided Heizi's sight, and he couldn't say no to those expectant eyes.Vulcan has never been an indecisive person, and the decision already made will not be changed.Refusing to be Kuroko's light doesn't mean refusing to play basketball with Kuroko, he likes to work hard towards the national hegemony again with everyone including Kuroko and Seirin.But... I don't want to be bound by the identity of "light and shadow" anymore.Especially in the past when he and Kise were dating, he didn't allow himself to fall in love with Heizi again.

That would be unfair to Kise, Heizi, and even himself.

"Heizi, give up." Vulcan said with his back to Heizi, "I will not be your light."

The people behind did not speak, and the air between the two suddenly became heavy.In the classroom, the Chinese teacher is telling the story of Kuafu Chasing the Sun in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. In order to chase the sun, Kuafu finally died of thirst on the way...

Since he flatly refused, it is useless to say words of comfort now, Vulcan, who turned his back to Heizi, chose to remain silent.After a long time, there was no sound. Just when Vulcan thought that Heizi had returned to the classroom, Heizi's voice sounded again, still calm and without emotion.

"Vulcan-lord, human beings have always liked to pursue power stronger than themselves since ancient times. The strong are always attracted by the strong. Even if they were the best partners in the past, the weak will always abandon them in the end."

Although Heizi's voice was very calm, the Kagami who knew about what Heizi encountered in Teiko Middle School felt a throbbing pain in his heart.Although there is no way to become a lover again, the feeling of liking really cannot be ignored, and even if it is just a companion, he can't leave such a sunspot alone.

"Vulcan-kun, you should also know about the generation of miracles from Kise-kun, right? I just want to practice my basketball, and I want to prove to them with my actions that my basketball is not wrong." A little fluctuating, he seemed to be trying to suppress his emotions, "But I can't do it with my own strength, I still need the power of Vulcan-lord. Vulcan-lord, can you help me?"

"Isn't this kind of thing a matter of course?" Vulcan turned around, he raised his hand and patted Heizi's shoulder naturally, and said confidently, "Heizi, we are companions, even if there is no relationship between light and shadow , I will also work with you to bring everyone from Seirin to the top of the national competition."

For Vulcan, the final defeat in the national competition is a regret that he can never make up for in his life.Had he scored that last goal, the result might have changed.Although the seniors didn't criticize him, the senior Muji, who was no longer able to continue basketball, even took the initiative to comfort him.But... the forced smiles of the seniors have always been deeply imprinted in his mind, and he will never forget it.

Although he didn't know why he went back to the past, it was a happy thing for him. He could finally make up for the regrets at the beginning, and this time he would never make the same mistake again.

"Vulcan Lord?" Heizi looked at Vulcan, suddenly not knowing what to say.

"The goal is to fight for hegemony in the whole country, let's work hard together." Vulcan withdrew his hand and said loudly to Heizi, and at the same time encouraged himself again.

"Vulcan, what have you been talking to yourself since just now?" The mandarin teacher's chalk was accurately hit on Vulcan's head, "I will be punished to stand for a day today."

"Vulcan-kun, you are such a gentle and good man." Heizi's voice was a little unclear amidst the wailing of Vulcan, "Now I understand why Kise-kun likes Vulcan-kun so much."
