There is nothing wrong with the training method of the Justice Messenger

"See that? It's so scary!"

"I had expected a big change, but I didn't expect it to be this serious! I haven't seen anything this dramatic on TV, have I?"

"What on earth did this guy do during his summer vacation? Did he take hormones?"

"Eight-pack abs! This is the first time I've seen the real thing! Don't miss it! Take a picture, take a picture!"

The boys' fiery gazes came from all directions, which was already several levels of uncomfortable feeling like having a thorn in the back.

An Yi, who was standing next to him, also looked at him speechlessly. Although she had heard Li Nian talk about his "experience" and understood the reasons why he had undergone such a huge change, she still felt greatly shocked when she saw his iron-like muscles.

"Can spiritual disasters really turn people into this?"

When Li Nian heard this, she shrugged awkwardly, quickened the pace of changing her clothes, and quickly put on a sports suit. Only then did the feeling fade a little.

But he could tell that the public opinion about him seemed to be changing in a strange direction again, and he didn't know whether it was good or bad.

Chapter 44: Sympathy among Lonely People

The physical education system of Sobu High School seems to be that three classes take the course together, and the boys are divided into groups of sixty people. The types of these two courses are arranged by the school and will change from time to time, but students can freely choose between the two courses.

This month it seems to be tennis and football.

Li Nian felt that it didn't matter either way, but since there seemed to be so many people choosing tennis, it was decided by drawing lots in the end.

...I don’t understand what the meaning of free choice has become.

In short, Li Nian was assigned to the tennis group.

"Okay, then you guys try playing, and disband in groups of two." Physical education teacher Atsugi said.

Li Nian was stunned. We need to divide into groups?

"Aki..."

At this time, Li Nian naturally turned his gaze to the only acquaintance in the room, but it seemed that someone had gotten there first. This guy, who was quite popular among the boys, had been dragged away by the person next to him.

"So, Totsuka..."

He looked in the direction of the cute boy, but he was also surrounded by several boys and walked towards a field.

So who should I go to...

Li Nian was at a loss, but after Mr. Atsugi said this, everyone dispersed in groups of three or five, leaving only two people on the field.

Hikigaya and he looked at each other.

"You two too, stop dawdling! Get moving quickly," Teacher Atsugi urged.

It seems that this is the only way to go.

Li Nian had no choice but to talk to Hikigaya: "Let's form a team?"

Hikigaya was obviously not happy about it, but under the watchful eye of Mr. Atsugi, he had no choice but to nod.

The two walked towards the empty court in silence.

Li Nian glanced at the dead fish eyes who deliberately slowed down his pace and followed behind him.

Even though there was an incident at the beginning of the school year, they still didn't have any interactions because of it. They weren't very familiar with each other... or rather, they were strangers. Now Hikigaya obviously had no intention of talking to him, and remained silent as if he didn't want to get close.

Li Nian felt that the atmosphere was a bit awkward. After thinking about it, he decided to break the silence first and start the conversation himself. He suddenly talked about the car accident on the first day of school.

"You fell that day, but you weren't seriously injured, were you?"

Hikigaya was stunned, hesitated for a moment, and remembered that his butt had been sore all day.

But he shook his head.

"It's okay." After a pause, he added, "At least it's a million times better than being hit by a car, thanks to you for holding my hand."

"Your actions at that time were really scary. You suddenly rushed onto the driveway. It was a bit reckless."

“…I think so, hahaha.”

"Remember in the future, think twice before doing anything, otherwise there won't be another person like me who can save you again."

"I know, thank you so much for saving my life."

After opening the conversation like this, Li Nian breathed a sigh of relief and felt less restrained, and said with a smile.

"If you really want to thank me, then don't despise me so much. I understand that you want to be alone, and I feel the same way. But there's really nothing we can do now that there are only two of us left. Let's just treat it as sympathy between lonely people and make do with it."

He knew that Hikigaya was the type who liked to be alone, and probably didn't want to be with him, so he just said it straight out.

Hikigaya was a little surprised. He didn't expect Li Nian to speak so bluntly, but he also felt that his words seemed to have broken through a layer of barriers, which made him feel a little relieved.

"That's true... Well, please give me your guidance in the next period of time."

Li Nian stopped talking and walked forward. Hikigaya looked at his back. It was rare for him to have a normal conversation with Li Nian. He felt that this boy was actually a very approachable guy...

Suddenly I remembered the impression Li Nian gave people in the past...

Hey, maybe my bright eyes have misjudged the appearance, Hikigaya said self-deprecatingly.

Standing opposite Hikigaya, Li Nian swung the racket vigorously, seeming eager to try. He had not participated in such sports since his body had been transformed.

The ball was in Hikigaya's hand. He swung the racket casually and sent the ball over. Li Nian's eyes lit up and he swung the racket hard.

The next moment, a beam of light refracted on the ground, brushed past Hikigaya's ear, and hit the wire mesh behind Hikigaya heavily, making a loud rumbling sound that echoed throughout the entire stadium.

This movement attracted everyone's attention.

Hikigaya blankly touched his cheek which was a little painful from the wind, and looked back blankly at the tennis ball that was spinning on the wire mesh and gradually stopped. Looking at the wisp of rising green smoke, he felt the hairs on his back stand on end and cold sweat ran down his face.

What is this? Killer tennis?

Li Nian, who had just made the swing, was stunned for a moment. Under those gazes, he scratched his cheek a little embarrassedly, thinking that he had overdone it.

He didn't expect that his strength would be so great even without strengthening his body.

But now thinking back on the swing just now, it seems that under my concentration, I have unconsciously incorporated the key points of sword swinging. The power is transmitted all the way from the legs to the waist, flowing and accumulating, and then bursting out in a concentrated manner... That power must be terrifying indeed.

Li Nian was a little amused and knew that he probably couldn't do these exercises seriously now, as he was already beyond the standard.

"Sorry, I made a mistake. I won't do it again next time. Keep going."

"..."

Hikigaya was desperate to back out. Who would dare to continue with this ball that had a hole in it? He reluctantly pulled the ball out of the wire mesh, tremblingly sent a light ball, and immediately hid aside.

This time when Li Nian fought back, he had deliberately restrained his strength and it was no longer so heavy.

After that, the situation just now did not happen again. Hikigaya no longer felt his life was in danger and gradually relaxed.

When they officially started playing basketball back and forth, Li Nian stopped chatting and became silent. This seemingly cold reaction made Hikigaya feel a lot more relaxed, and he gradually started to play seriously. It turned out that his skills were quite good. He played back and forth with Li Nian, who was hiding his strength. With both sides winning and losing, he got into the game unknowingly.

He put all his strength into the last swing and barely managed to hit the ball back. Without looking at where the ball landed, Hikigaya bent down and supported his knees, breathing heavily. He felt extremely tired and had no strength left.

Seeing him like that, Li Nian reached out and grabbed the tennis ball that was shot towards his face, and shouted, "Take a break."

Hikigaya nodded hurriedly and staggered back to the bench next to him, panting with his head down. After a while, he heard a voice, "Go on." He subconsciously looked up and a bottle of water flew towards him.

Li Nian bought two bottles of water from the vending machine nearby and threw one to him.

Hikigaya caught it in a hurry and gulped it down. Seeing him like that, Li Nian shook his head.

"You're not in good physical condition."

"Puha." After taking a sip of water, Hikigaya felt like he was alive again. After hearing these words, he looked up at someone who was calm and composed without breaking a sweat. He was too weak to speak and thought to himself that you are the monster. After taking a moment to calm down, he spoke in a hoarse voice.

"How much."

Hikigaya was about to take out his wallet when he spoke, but Li Nian chuckled and shook his head.

——“Beep——”

Suddenly a whistle sounded. Li Nian looked over and saw Teacher Atsugi blowing the whistle, which meant that the sparring practice was temporarily over and it was time to gather again.

"Next time, it will probably be just the two of us. Please take care of me then."

After saying this, Li Nian waved his hand and walked over there.

Next time? Hikigaya looked at the kettle in his hand.

It would be nice to have a next time.

Wait, you over there, don't mention the knife! Don't hit me in the face!

Chapter 45: Current Charge Group

After the physical education class, Li Nian changed back into his uniform and slowly returned to the classroom. He immediately felt many people looking at him.

Although this was normal, he felt that the gazes were more numerous and more focused than before. Li Nian paused and moved his ears slightly. He immediately heard some whispers, talking about his performance in physical education class.

As expected, his exaggerated body really stimulated everyone's attention. He forgot to restrain his strength when playing tennis and made a huge hit. These performances became an extraordinary ripple in daily life. Naturally, they became hot topics during the break time, and even gradually spread from boys to girls and circulated throughout the class.

Li Nian immediately realized that he seemed to be the center of more attention, which made him frown.

He originally thought that after a few days, if he behaved himself and kept a low profile, his conspicuousness in the class would gradually decrease, and everyone would gradually treat him as an ordinary student, and he would be able to integrate into the group more easily. However, the current development seems to be somewhat contrary to his wishes...

With an imperceptible sigh, he returned to his seat, ignoring everything.

But Li Nian's calm reaction did not stop the discussions. Rather, his mere presence in the classroom made the discussions even more heated.

Among all those talking voices, the loudest one was that of a guy named Tobe Sho.

He is a boy who perms and dyes his hair, giving people a frivolous feeling. He is one of the popular people in the class. Now it is the end of get out of class time, and those people including Yuigahama and Miura naturally gathered together to chat. Li Nian's matter is obviously a good topic, and this guy talked about it loudly and unscrupulously.

"That's amazing! That's amazing!"

"What are you yelling about all of a sudden? It's so noisy."

"Well……"

Miura, who was pressing the phone, glared unhappily, and Hube's call was suddenly stuck in his throat. Soon he showed a flattering smile again and spoke in a much lower voice.

"Sanpu, I'm talking about that! It's about Li Nian!"

"boring."

Miura obviously has no interest in the boy who has changed a lot recently and has become the talk of the class.

But when Yuigahama heard that they were talking about Li Nian, she became a little concerned.

"Hey? What happened to classmate Li Nian?"

She looked at Li Nian curiously. He pretended not to hear the loud voice of the Ministry of Household Affairs and was tapping on his phone, seemingly unaware.

"You haven't seen it! That's a terrifying body of muscles! It's really amazing! You haven't even seen it on TV!"

"muscle?"

The pretty girl with glasses standing next to him—her name is Ebimei Hime, right?—lit up her eyes for some reason.

Yuigahama was a little confused.

"What on earth is going on..."

"Alas, I know it's hard to express it no matter how I put it. Fortunately, I took a photo at that time! You will understand when you see it!"

Was he really photographed?

When Li Nian heard this, he frowned and finally looked up. He saw that the Minister of Household Affairs had taken out his mobile phone to pull out photos and put them on the table while talking, as if to show them to others.

He felt that this was a bit too much, and his eyes turned a little hostile.

"Wait! Hubu, what are you planning to show the girls?"

Fortunately, someone interrupted Hu Bu and reached out to stop his actions.

The blond handsome guy, Hayato Hayama, is the leader of the class, the top boy, the emperor-like counterpart to Queen Miura in the pop culture circle.

At this time, he wore his usual gentle smile and reminded her with a smile: "And you can't take this kind of photo without asking other people's opinions, otherwise if classmate Li Nian finds out..."

"Ugh?"

The Minister of Revenue seemed to realize the inappropriateness of his actions. He subconsciously looked towards Li Nian and met his somewhat unfriendly gaze.

"Ouch! I was wrong! I was wrong!"
