Chapter 55 - CH 42: PRACTICAL TEST(2) (1/2)

TEN MINUTES EARLIER:

The crowd began murmuring after Present Mic, he left the venue. None of the people here were stupid. As such, even though they couldn't guess all the intricacies of this exam, they still understand that each step should carefully be planned.

Kuroha, seeing people begin to form groups shrugged before going somewhere to sit. He didn't want to form a team. It wasn't that he was arrogant.

At least, if Momo was here he would try and team up with her. But she was in the next batch. Since she wasn't present, he just didn't see the need.

”Hello! Would you like to team with us?”

Just as he was about to close his eyes once he sat under a tree, he heard a soft voice calling him. When he turned, he was faced with a girl. Kuroha noted idly that she was rather pretty but that he didn't really care. She had fox ear on her head and two tails trailing behind her. The girl was followed by a group of boys.

When he heard the question, Kuroha feels his brain buzz for a short instant. During this instant, this girl becomes the prettiest existence in the world. Her orders were absolute. This didn't last long. But when he understood what had happened, he was very angry.

The girl, seeing him like that had a victorious smile, but just as she was feeling happy, a chill went past her body. When she looked at the guy in front of her, all she felt was danger. His cold eyes staring hard into her. She waved her hand as she sweated,

”You know what, forget it.”

She literally fled with her tails between her legs. The boys, confused, simply followed without even looking at him.

Kuroha looked at her coldly but didn't chase. He decided to close his eyelid and rest a little, but then, another voice woke him up. This time, it was a very loud one.

”OHHHH! INCREDIBLE!! I didn't think someone else would be able to escape her control.”

Kuroha frowned as he faced the guy speaking. He recognized him. It was the guys he already remarked during the written exam. Still, he didn't know his name

”Who are you?”

The guy, seemingly surprised by the question did something that really surprised him. He did a bow so low his head literally hit the floor. Blood was even flowing from his face.

”I AM VERY SORRY!! HOW COULD I BE SO FORGETFUL. I AM YOARASHI INASA. HAPPY TO MEET YOU!!”

Kuroha posed for a short second before answering.

”I am Hayate Kuroha.”

Internally he sighed, it seemed like he was doomed to never meet anyone normal in this school. He rummaged in his pocket before giving him a nap

”Take this. Blood is flowing.”

Inasa took it with a big smile and cleaned the blood before saying.

”Thank you!! Can I call you Kuroha?”

Kuroha didn't really care about normal convention, so he simply nodded. Anyway, no one called him Hayate.

”So Kuroha, what will you do? Find a team or act by yourself.”

”Alone. What about you?”

”Me?”

A fire seemed to burn in his eyes as he proclaimed with his fist high in the sky

”I THINK THAT HEROES SHOULD BE HOT-BLOODED AND PASSIONATE. AS SUCH I WILL PASS THIS EXAM ALONE!!!”
