[British and American] Jason Wayne's Struggle

Chapter 24 Chapter 24 (Revised)

Until the game started, Jason kept looking at his phone, as if waiting for a call or a text message, but even though the phone didn't ring, he was not too disappointed.

After all, Batman is busy saving the world, and Alfred has to do logistics for B, so those things are definitely more important. When Dick Grayson went to compete in gymnastics, Bruce didn't say he would go with him every time.

Jason breathed a sigh of relief, and when Sunny saw his expression, she thought the little brother was still nervous, so she hugged Jason gently.

"It's okay. This is your first competition, and you're only 13 years old, younger than many of the other contestants."

What Sunny meant was that as long as Jason didn't fall down all over the place, no one would expect too much from him.

Sunny thought about it from another perspective, remembering that Jason's adopted brother Dick always won the championship in every competition. Based on her understanding of Jason, he definitely didn't want to fall behind others. Moreover, Jason didn't participate in the regional competition, but directly participated in the competition with the wild card that Coach Ed had obtained for him through the school. Maybe in the eyes of outsiders who didn't understand the situation, Jason was able to come to the US Championships only with the financial support of his adoptive father.

Anyone would feel stressed if they thought about it this way, not to mention that it was his first time to perform in front of so many people. No wonder Jason looked a little anxious.

Jason smiled at Shanni and said, "Thank you, Shanni. Don't worry, I'm fine."

"you sure?"

Jason nodded affirmatively: "Sure."

He could understand Sunny's thoughts and appreciated her concern, but he really felt that there was nothing wrong with him.

And Sunny misunderstood one thing - Jason is Robin who can rush forward with Kryptonite even when facing the evil Superman. He is not afraid of the large number of people present. He is just afraid that he will embarrass Bruce.

But he was much more nervous when he first went on night patrol as Robin. His hand holding the hook was shaking slightly, but he still completed the night patrol smoothly.

Jason's ability to withstand pressure is better than anyone imagined. This little pressure did not cause him to perform poorly. It even inspired his fighting spirit of "I don't want to lose to Dick Grayson". When he did his first jump - a triple lutz plus a triple loop (3lz+3lo), he shocked everyone.

This is one of the most difficult and highest scoring jump combinations, and not many people can complete it. It is absolutely amazing that Jason, who is only 13 years old, can complete this jump and do it so beautifully!

His excellent leg strength allows Little Robin to jump high and far, gaining enough air time to complete aerial turns. His strong balance and coordination abilities also allow him to raise his clasped hands high while jumping, which is the very difficult Rippon posture.

Faced with such a series of jumps with clean techniques, beautiful and standard appearance, and additional difficult postures, it would be unreasonable for the judges not to give high scores.

Accompanied by the piano music of "Canon", Jason's triple Lutz (3F) and double Axel (2A) were performed smoothly and neatly.

He even performed a Biellmann spin, which is difficult for male figure skaters to do, causing gasps from the audience.

The commentators of the competition praised Jason for his "innocent" and lively temperament, like a young Blue Jay leaping on the ice rink, nimble and cute.

"Canon" is originally a song about love, with a clear and classical tune, but Jason performed it as if he was playing with his family. He was the lively child running and jumping on the lawn. His body language expressed that he was playing with an imaginary person who did not exist on the ice rink, and his expression showed how much he loved that person.

Jason didn't say it explicitly, but Natalia, who choreographed for him, knew that this was a gift from Jason, who was too shy to say "I love you" directly, to Bruce Wayne.

The child really loves his adoptive father.

Apart from the fact that he had not been in the figure skating world long enough and therefore his skating was not smooth enough, Jason's strength overwhelmed all his peers in the audience.

Tim excitedly sat in the front row, watching Jason perform his program perfectly. At the end of the competition, he kept pressing the shutter to record every precious moment.

Until the end of the game, Tim stood up, shouted Jason's name loudly, and threw out the bouquet of flowers he had been holding in his arms for a long time.

In figure skating competitions, if fans like and are satisfied with an athlete's program, standing ovation is the highest form of praise. Fans can also throw bouquets and puppets.

Jason saluted to the referee's seat and the audience. After hearing the voice, he turned around and saw Tim, and a hint of astonishment flashed across his clear green eyes.

It was the kid who had stalked Robin.

He slid over and picked up the bouquet. The delicate colored paper wrapped six sunflowers and a bird of paradise. The sunflower is a flower that chases the sun and represents hope, while the bird of paradise symbolizes freedom.

Jason held the bouquet, gave Tim a bright smile, and asked, "What's your name?"

Tim blushed and stammered, "I'm Tim Drake, from Gotham Elementary School. I love your skating!"

I like Robin a lot!

Jason couldn't help but nodded and replied with a smile: "Ok, I'll remember it, Tibao, thank you for the flowers."

Tim watched Jason turn and skate towards the sidelines, then suddenly slapped his head and yelled in annoyance.

He was so excited that he didn't even take a picture of Jason holding the flowers!

Tim clenched his fist and made up his mind to continue bringing bouquets tomorrow, vowing to collect photos of the second-generation Robin wearing a costume and smiling with a bouquet of flowers after figure skating.

This is definitely a super precious CG in the game!

After leaving the ice rink, Jason put on the blade covers again and sat in the kiss & cry area with his coach, waiting for his score to appear on the big screen.

Coach Ed kept talking to Jason: "The total score of a program is composed of technical points and p points. The technical points are the basic points of technical movements such as jumping, spinning, and gliding plus the execution points (GOE). The p points are the performance, program content points, etc. The full p score for the short program is 50. If you can get more than 40, you are considered a first-line player in the adult group..."

This coach has not been able to train a decent single skater since he entered the coaching industry. Now that he has met Jason, a good seedling, it seems that all his hopes are placed on him. At this moment, he actually looks more nervous than Jason.

Jason patiently responded to his coach's nagging until the scores came out, and then he stared at the big screen with wide eyes.

Coach Ed was also stunned when he looked at the big screen.

Jason's technical score was 40.3 points, which is a very rare result for a youth player, and his P score reached 34.88, totaling 75.18.

This result is considered second-tier in the adult group, but it is really amazing in the youth group.

Jason ranked first in the short program of the U.S. Figure Skating Championships Junior Men's Singles!

Coach Ed patted Jason's shoulder excitedly: "Well done! I knew you could do it! Now everyone else has only scored more than 60 points, and you have opened up a gap of 10 points with them, which is a huge advantage!"

As long as Jason can maintain the same form as today in tomorrow's free skating competition, he will have a great chance of winning!

Jason shrugged and exhaled, "It's okay."

As long as he didn't embarrass himself, there were very few things he was afraid of. What he feared most was embarrassing Bruce and disappointing Bruce. Now it seemed that these things would not happen.

……

Nightwing Dick Grayson, who was attending the police academy in Bludhaven, was dragged by some of his classmates to a nearby restaurant to eat what was said to be "the best minced beef sandwich nearby" after finishing his morning classes.

The owner happened to be a hockey fan, and the TV was showing this year's U.S. Championships.

Dick didn't expect to see Jason again in this situation.

Although I have never paid attention to figure skating before, Jason's show, how should I put it, is dedicated to Bruce at first glance...

The buddy sitting next to him saw that after Dick took a bite of the sandwich, he just kept looking at TV without chewing the food in his mouth, and looked like he was in a daze.

He waved in front of Dick's eyes: "Hey, are you okay? Wake up!"

Dick came back to his senses, responded to the buddy casually, then turned his head to watch TV. He saw that while Jason was dividing the time, his little eyes would glance at the phone in his hand from time to time.

It was amazing how Dick understood Jason's feelings.

Bruce and Alfred obviously hadn't accompanied him to the competition, but he must have wondered if they had seen his performance and looked forward to their approval.

Just like Dick's mentality when he participated in competitions, he has participated in many gymnastics competitions and achieved good results. Alfu sometimes accompanies him and sometimes not. Bruce only attended an award ceremony once, and that time Dick was so surprised that he almost jumped up.

Dick subconsciously took out his cell phone, but when his fingers pressed the keyboard, he paused.

What should he send Jason?

Congratulations on getting the highest score...

I think you skate very well...

Don't worry, even though Bruce and Alfu are busy now, they will definitely watch the live broadcast of the game later, and they won't miss your game...

Dick actually no longer hates Jason, because after all, Jason is just a child, and he has proved what an excellent Robin he is and how much he cares about Bruce's good son during the reversal of good and evil events. Moreover, the adult superheroes also recognize and like this little Robin.

But would Jason want to see his text messages?

Little Mockingbird should be more interested in hearing from Bruce and Alfred right now, rather than from Dick, who once beat him up during the Teen Titans' collective action and left him outside for a day and a night.

In the end, Dick didn't send any message.

The next day, Jason's group of friends and family who came to watch the game expanded further, because his mutant friends Kurt Nightcrawler and Katie the Cat also came to watch the game after knowing that he participated in the US Championship.

Among them, Kurt, because of his unusual appearance with blue skin and a tail, had to wrap himself up like a pervert in order to come and visit Jason. Even though he was walking on the ice rink with a low temperature, he was already sweating profusely.

Even so, when he saw Jason, Kurt still tried hard to come up with a few good words, praising Jason for looking super cute in the costume for the free skating program.

Little Robin, who didn't want to be described as "cute" but was still in the cute stage, puffed up his cheeks.

He replied expressionlessly: "Thank you."

Katie looked at Jason with great interest. The petite and slender Robin's costume was based on the night color, while the left shoulder to the chest and waist were made of translucent mesh material, inlaid with scattered purple-blue bright diamonds, which looked sparkling like the night sky. The right arm was tied with a black gauze from the shoulder to the wrist, which fluttered when he walked, giving a strange irregular beauty.

At this moment, Jason looked like an elf in a fairy tale. Kurt was right, he was indeed super cute.

She exclaimed, "I didn't know you could wear such beautiful costumes when you practice figure skating. You call this a costume, right? Jay, what are you going to perform later?"

Jason replied, "It's Twilight. The coach picked three clips from the movie soundtrack and edited them into my competition music."

Of course, Natalia helped with the choreography. This lady has a solid foundation in ballet, but Jason didn't expect that she could even do street dance, and could incorporate various dance elements into figure skating programs.

As a dancer, she is really excellent in her professional skills.

Katie's eyes lit up when she heard this: "What a coincidence, I like Twilight, too!"

Jason looked around, pulled Cotla to a hidden corner, and fanned him with a fan.

Kurt quickly shook his hand: "You want to compete, go and warm up first, leave the fan, I'll let Katie fan me."

Katie immediately refused: "Can't you fan yourself?"

That being said, she ended up fanning Kurt.
