My Past Lives' Regrets

Chapter 71

The night passed peacefully , Zone woke up with eyes groggy and groaned lazily.  The moment his vision cleared up , he met a pair of blue eyes that seems to have been tortured by insomnia.  There's dark circles below Jiro's eyes and their position remained the same as he could remember when he pretended sleepwalking. 

Zone's peach blossom eyes widened in shock and surprise as he hurriedly sat up . A trace of embarrassment and panick flashed through his scarlet eyes as if he doesn't know how to react in this kind of situation .

" G-good morning.  " Zone bowed his head down shamefully and fiddled his hands awkwardly. 

Jiro touched his numb shoulder and nodded . " Good morning . "

Zone looked up distressed and asked hesitantly . " D-did I sleep walked to your side last night? "

Jiro raised the corner of his lips and remained silent.  Zone bit his lower lip and bowed down.  " I'm sorry Jiro , it's just that I always sleep walked whenever I'm tired and stressed . Have I made you feel awkward ? "

Jiro shook his head and sighed . " No , it's fine.  I don't mind what you did at all . We can just forget about it ."

" Oh " Zone nodded then stopped fiddling with his forefingers and climb down .

" Class is about to start , I'll quickly wash my self up.  "

Jiro also climbed down from the bed and arranged his messy bed before nodding . " Go ahead . "

Zone pursed his lips and secretly felt angry.  This Jiro!!! Why are you so awkward! Zone turned his body and entered the bathroom to wash up .

' he didn't even secretly touch me last night , I'm so disappointed in him.  '

He knows that Jiro has not developed any sort of feelings towards him yet at this time , but Zone couldn't help feeling angry about it. 

After the two finished their breakfast , they tacitly exited the dorm room and headed towards the classroom together.  While they were about to enter their building.  Jiro and Zone noticed a small commotion nearby .

There's a crowd of students shouting and screaming as if they we're cheering for something.  Zone got curious and paused his footsteps . Jiro also paused his movements and turned to look at the ground.  Zone sniffed at the air and smelled the ironic smell of blood . Even though he lost his tail , he was already accostumed to his fox traits .

Jiro and Zone looked at each silently then simultaneously walked towards the crowd.  When they get near to the encircled place , they witness two groups of students fighting violently as if they were going to kill each other in broad daylight. 

" What's going on? " Asked Zone to the person beside him .

The person beside him is a young man like him , his hair is dyed with color red and his lower lip was pierced by an accessory.  He looked like a gangster yet Zone did not feel a single emotion of fear towards him.

The young man was surprised when someone suddenly talked to him . In this school , he rarely interacted with his schoolmates out of vigilance , they usually only tend to interact with close friends . The young man paused his cheering actions and turned to look at the good looking young man . He coughed awkwardly and stuttered as he talks .

" Ah , they are two group of gangs fighting for the rank . "

" Rank? "

" Oh yeah , have you not checked your wrist watch carefully? There's a leaderboard logo on the top right screen . You can register a gang group there and recieve your crest at the Leaderboard House beside the Training Hall . "
