Chapter 29: Watanabe Sarena
Xin instantly turned around and asked, "Aisen senpai, don't tell me"
"Yes."
"Damn!!"
"We two will be substituting those two."
Xin facepalmed and turned around to have a look at the girl's team. Three girls and all of them had a perfect figure and toned body. He was glancing through their perfectly shaped body when his vision fell upon the girl at the back. Till some moments ago she was wiping out her face, drenched in sweat.
But the moment her face became visible, Xin's heart stopped and came to his mouth. 'Same face, same eyes, same hairs!!' Only one-word name came to his mind, and that was Watanabe Sarena.
She was one of those people who lost her life while saving Xin. In his past life in the world of magic, she was one of those seniors who always stands for Xin and helps him out in times of his troubles made by others. But like Professor Han, she too became a hurdle and an obstacle for many. Hence, she paid the price with her life.
Unlike the first time, Xin didn't cry nor become emotional upon seeing his past life senior. Instead, his heart was filled with joy.
After taking birth again and meeting Professor Han, he became sure that sooner or later he would meet his past life friends who had helped him a lot in the time of his need.
On that day after returning home, he had made a commitment that he would help and save each and every person who was close to him in his past life. Meeting Sarena was also in his expectations, but that's also after joining the special army camp, after the selection fest event.
But this sudden meeting with each other was something that took him by surprise and sent him into contemplation.
From the moment Xin spotted Sarena, he started to act weird. On a first look, anybody could say that he was acting like a love-struck bird, which was pretty obvious, after having a look at one of the campus belle. But deep inside he was reminiscing the past that he had spent with her, as her junior.
Xin kept on staring at Sarena and waited for the game to start. Behind him was Aisen, regretting his decision of calling a first-year newbie trainee for this match.
'Tch, tch. I should have known that only very few can resist the charm of the campus belle.'
The two of them were already in the dodge ball court, and Xin was still acting in a daze. Deep inside, he was overjoyed from seeing Sarena once again in his life. But this time he wasn't a junior to her, nor was she a senior to him.
He wanted to go near and embrace her in his arms. But doing that would have given him the tag of a pervert and a lecher.
All those feelings were getting jumbled up in his mind and the result was he had been in a daze from the past few minutes.
Out of the six balls, the boy's side had only one ball, and the girl's side had the rest. Till then Xin hadn't snapped back from his state of overflowing happiness and was standing dazed in the middle of the court.
The referee blew the whistle, and the game resumed once again.
The boy's side had two players, one was Xin, and the other was Aisen. On the other hand, the girl's team had three members. One was Sarena and the other two, her classmates.
The two of them picked up two balls each, while Sarena picked up one ball for her. On the other side, Aisen thought Xin was completely useless and picked up the ball on their side and got ready to throw.
The atmosphere was getting tensed up. The girls were more in numbers and also had more balls, while the boys were less and had only one ball.
Not only Aisen but also the other boys nearby were thinking the trainee brought back by Aisen was completely useless.
The girls made the first move and threw a ball towards Aisen, on the boy's side. The ball was thrown with tremendous strength, and speed was fast enough to hit and injure any civilian. But Aisen splendidly dodged the ball by moving to his side and let it go past him. Suddenly, he remembered the newbie trainee was just behind him and still in a daze. Even before he thought of something else, his body moved on its own and shielded Xin from the ball that was coming at him at high speed.
Phwwwwwt!!
The referee blew the whistle and with that one member was eliminated from the boy's team. Everyone present their face palmed and thought they were destined to lose that match. Their one and only hope Aisen was just eliminated while defending the newbie trainee that he had brought himself.
Without any delay, Aisen went out of the court and let the game continue again. But before coming out, he put his hand on Xin's shoulder and whispered something in his ears.
The score now was 5-3, and the girls were on the lead. The referee blew the whistle again, and the game resumed once again. The girls were pretty confident now that they would definitely win the match and the victory will be theirs.
From the starting of the game, Sarena had been feeling weird for some reason. But she was not sure what it was. Only now when she looked towards the last boy standing on the boy's side she realized it was Xin's intensive glare that was making him feel uncomfortable.
Since he was the only one left, the three of them got ready for the last round and started to aim the balls at Xin. Sometimes ago when Aisen was inside the court, and everyone was shouting and cheering for him. But when it comes to Xin, not a single person was showing interest in him.
