He had already lost consciousness.

�Hooo��

Yiruki checked his score.

1,247 points.

Yiruki set an unprecedented record. He somehow managed to beat Amy�s highest record by 260 points.

�Not bad. Did I win? Why don�t I hear anything? What�s Shirone doing?�

Yiruki turned his head and saw that Shirone�s head was tilted to the point it was nearly touching his chest. He wasn�t moving.

Shirone was still breathing, and he didn�t seem dead, but at the same time, he didn�t seem alive either. It was a strange feeling.

�What?�

Yiruki checked out Shirone�s score.

1,253 points.

Mark couldn�t believe it and swung his head back and forth between Shirone�s and Yiruki�s scoreboard. Then he opened his mouth.

�S-Senior� Shirone� Senior Shirone��

�Shirone won!�

Sharelle, who was hugging Mark while leaping around, ran to Shirone. And with her were the lowerclassmen, who were fighting to reach him first.

�HEUK!�

And as if he had just been resuscitated, Shirone gasped for air.�

His mind, which had scattered after delving into the Infinite Realm, started combining back together along with the threads of his consciousness.

�Ughh��

He looked around to see Sharelle and a bunch of other students crowding around him.

�Shirone, are you okay? It�s me, Sharelle.�

His memories had returned. And Shirone, who had finally regained his ego, gave a soft smile.

�Yes. I�m alright.�

The moment he himself solidified that he was okay, the lowerclassmen and his classmates cheered, whistled, and applauded.

�You were sooo amazing! Really, you�re the best Shirone!�

While everyone was praising Shirone, nobody was around Yiruki.

Yiruki was deep in thought with an indifferent look when someone approached and placed their hand on his shoulder.

It was Nade.

�You lost. But it was a great match.�

�Not really, you don�t compete to look good. You do it to win.� JrNovels.com
