� Idealism or realism? What side is this guy on?�

�That�s why��

Yiruki reached out his hand and grabbed Shirone, pulling him into a standing position.

�From now on, I�m your responsibility.�

�Huh? Responsibility?�

�I never thought I�d lose to anyone in my life. So maybe you�re the only one who can beat me. In the distant future, if my ways will cause tragedy, you prevent it. If I am too much of a risk, even if you kill me, I will never resent you.�

Shirone was panicking.

�But give me a little more ti��

Yiruki interrupted.

�If you don�t do it, I can�t take a step forward here. I will not move on. I will stay here.�

Shirone stared Yiruki in the eye.

There was not an ounce of sarcasm, pretentiousness, or exaggeration. Only true sincerity.

�Okay.�

If he had rejected Yiruki then and there, the future Yiruki himself had envisioned would have merely become an idealistic theory.

�I will definitely stop you. No. I will make sure you never make such a mistake.�

The students looked blank.

�What�s up with them? Do they really think they can achieve such a feat? This is Class 5.�

To make their dreams a reality, they would have to overcome countless barriers.�

But unlike their other schoolmates, Nade was moved.

He gave a small shout.

�Aaahh!! You guys are so cool! As expected of my friends! Nice, let�s do our best!�

Nade wrapped his arms around both of their necks, and Shirone and Yiruki smiled at each other.

�Perhaps� He might actually be a pretty nice guy.�

While they both had similar thoughts, Shirone recalled his face-off with Yiruki.

�He�s really strong.�

Shirone felt that there was a possibility he might not be able to win next time, but he didn�t care. Because he knew that he was the only one who could suppress Yiruki.

�I will definitely keep my promise.�

The only thing that could stop something finite that was running at the speed of light was the great infinity.

Shirone was floating in darkness.

It was a quiet and cold space where countless stars were scattered around. JrNovels.com
