Chapter 53 - Kise Ryota (1/2)

The students of Teiko Middle School, especially girls, had their eyes drawn to the figure of a boy in the same uniform as theirs as he walked through the school premises.

The boy had yellow/blond, medium-long hair and golden eyes. Another distinct feature was his long eyelashes. He also had a piercing in his left ear and was tall and looked athletic.

The boy's name was Kise Ryota. If somebody was really into the fashion world, then they might recognize Kise Ryota as one of the new models that appeared in some magazines.

He joined the modeling occupation after being introduced to it by his elder sister and quickly got famous for a newbie who just entered the modeling scene.

Kise was good looking and was popular in school. He was earning good money as a middle school student, but despite all of this, Kise Ryota was not happy with his life.

A second-year class was watching two of their classmates as they bounced a soccer ball on their feet.

Girl One: ”That's amazing!”

The girls from the class were going ballistic as they saw Kise bounce the ball with his head in the lifting test, squeals of girls rang throughout the ground.

Another girl who had just returned from the storeroom after putting in the unneeded equipment in the storeroom, she looked at the crowd and asked one of her friends.

Girl Two: ”What is?”

Her friend turned towards her and responded in an excited voice.

Girl Three: ”It's the lifting test. Only Kise-kun and Tanaka-kun from the soccer team haven't dropped the ball once yet!”

The lifting test was essentially not letting the soccer ball fall on the ground.

The coach finally entered the 200's, and the cheers got even louder.

Tanaka from the soccer team was looking at Kise with surprise and dismay in his eyes, as he looked at Kise, who wasn't the part of the soccer club, do the test so effortlessly, while he a regular at the soccer team, was getting tired from the repetition.

He glanced at the rest of his classmates who had dropped out from the test as they let their ball fall.

Kise: 'I can already do this after watching someone for a bit.'

Kise was good at sports, and he could recreate moves after seeing them once.

Kise: 'If anything, I can't believe there are guys who can't do this.'

Kise looked at his P.E. teacher and remembered his instructions.

Kise: 'He said we'd get an A grade if we lifted the ball more than a hundred times, so I guess I'm done.'

Kise lifted the ball high in the air and kicked it into the goal when it came down, effortlessly.

Kise Ryota was walking towards the main gate of the school while thinking about the problem in his life.

Kise: 'Style is okay, athletics are okay, and academics are pretty okay, too. But I'm so bored.

I like sports, but I always master them so quickly.'

Kise looked at the baseball team as he walked from in front of their field.

Kise: 'If I play long enough, there's no one left to challenge me.'

Kise almost desperately wished for some challenge in his life.

Kise: 'Anybody, please, light a fire in me.'

Kise wished for a person to appear who he couldn't defeat for him to get a challenge.

Kise: 'I wonder if there's anyone so amazing that I don't stand a chance against him.

He's got to be around somewhere. Come on out.'

Kise sighed, smiled slightly, and said with a tinge of arrogance in his voice.
