The Other Ayanokoji

Chapter 93

Flashback

I sat alone in outside in a café, sipping on a cup of lemon tea.

"Ryo," Hana greeted her with a warm smile as she entered the room. "I've been looking for you. You've been so lazy lately. What's going on?"

I took a casual sip of my tea, the steam curling around my expressionless face. "Hana, this school is utterly boring."

Hana raised an eyebrow. "Boring? But there's so much to learn and do here. What's been bothering you?"

I leaned back in her chair and sighed, my blue-glowing eyes meeting Hana's sea-green gaze. "Hana, you've always been too polite to say it, but I know you think I'm wasting my potential here."

Hana's smile didn't waver, but her eyes revealed the hint of a competitive spirit.

"Well, maybe just a little. I mean, you're incredibly strong, Ryo. You have no limits, and you could be achieving so much more."

"Hana, you don't get it. I'm not here to meet the expectations of this school or anyone else. I'm here to bide my time, to wait for the real fun to begin."

Hana's curiosity was piqued. "The real fun? What are you talking about?"

I raise one of my hands in the air and the wind danced around. "I can feel it, Hana. Something big is coming. And when it does, it'll be more exciting than anything this school can offer."

Flashback ends

The tag game raged on, both Class 2-B and Class 2-C determined to outmaneuver each other.

My brother, who had begrudgingly accepted the role of the tagger, proved to be a formidable opponent.

He chased down Class 2-C students with remarkable speed and agility, tagging them with precision, one after another.

3 minutes.

As the minutes ticked by, my brother's efficiency was evident as he tagged the Class 2-C students at an impressive pace.

Suddenly, a misstep caused him to twist his ankle, and a sharp, pained gasp escaped his lips. His injury was evident, but his determination remained unwavering. He gritted his teeth, focusing on the last few Class 2-C students. He smelled of pain.

On the sidelines, I had been silently observing the game. I sighed. I knew I had to intervene. With a blink, I teleported to his side.

My brother looked up, surprise in his eyes as he saw me. "Ryo?"

Without a word, I placed my hand on my brother's injured leg.

A soft, green glow enveloped my hand as I healed the injury with remarkable speed.

With a reassuring nod, I stepped back, allowing him to continue the game. He wasted no time, now moving faster than before, determined to secure victory for their class.

The game continued with an air of intensity, but as the clock ran down, it became clear that once again, the two classes were evenly matched.

Class round: Class B vs Class C has finished.

Results

Class B: 5 minutes, 23 seconds

Class C: 5 minutes, 23 seconds

Reiji, who had been hoping for a clear win, crashed into me. "Booossss. We tied. AGAIN!" I patted her head. "It's better than losing."

Horikita, approached me, a smug expression on her face. "I see that my suggestion came in handy, Ayanokoji. Your assistance allowed us to secure this tie."
