[Hari—H Race]
A boisterous voice filled the GYM room of the Guard High School, where the school hosted representatives of other schools. There were even representatives from the Florion High School, the neighboring School before Ian moved to the Chloe and Devian Schools.
All the Siswi-Students cheered their respective school representatives, Giving cheers of encouragement in order to be the next host. Host and some judge how many in each place.
Including Ian and Chloe who are still getting ready in the resting room, As a Partner and school representative of course they have to warm up first before starting the match.
"Dian, how are you? Does it still hurt? If still not forced," said Chloe while slightly stretching her arm muscles.
Ian only glanced for a moment, Then his red Netra refocused on the bonding of his shoes.
"Fun good, Just focus on the match," Reply Ian coldly, After tying his shoelaces.
"Yes yes, all right. Just as you said," Chloe shook her head slowly, Take the racket.
Ian momentarily stretched his fingers to move a little freely.
"Btw, you're transferring from Florion High School. I wonder, are the students there great at tennis?"
"No, they're better than Basketball than Tennis. So I guess they're a light opponent," said Ian, standing up from his seat, grabbing a racket, then exiting the resting room.
Chloe mustard slowly understood, and then came out of the room.
***************
"Chelle, Ian. The spirit!"
The booming scream from the side of the field made Chloe and Ian turn their heads, Chloe smilingly realizing that Alice and Evelyn were the ones shouting cheers at the two of them. While Ian just silently stared flat without interest.
Alice and Evelyn waved their hands excitedly, Wide smiles imprinted on each other's lips. Chloe gave a small nod, Replying from afar.
Chloe and Ian were walking to take their respective positions on the field, according to their position during training. Meet the two students from Florion High School.
The referee looked at the two camps in turn, then immediately sounded his whistle sign of the match at the beginning.
PPRIM!
The opponent began to hit the ball, Ian immediately sped back. Chloe aside was only on standby in case the ball was headed towards her.
**************
The cheers of the audience still sounded loud in the GYM, The breathing of both camps was already irregular. Put each other down. Plus the score of those who draw increasingly makes the situation heated up between the two camps.
Chloe looked at their opponent, As the girl took a deep breath filling her lungs that were starting to run out of oxygen. Her blue netra glanced at Ian, so did Ian who glanced at Chloe. As if the two of them were exchanging ideas, the two of them both nodded.
Ian catapulted the ball, passed it to Chloe. With nimble Chloe received it, hit hard to make their opponents difficult to reach the ball. Finally the ball crossed the opposing line, and the sound of a whistle was heard by the referee.
PPRIM!
"The winner is the representative of the Guard High School!"
"HOORIE!"
The cheering sound is getting boisterous from Chloe class and other classes, because their school wins again. Alice and Evelyn are also seen hugging when they hear their school win.
Chloe smiled weakly, Right now she is feeling tired. His Netra turned to Ian who was just silent on the spot while breathing in. The girl grabbed Ian's hands, smiling gently with happiness because this was the first time he and Ian had been school representatives at the same time winning the race.
"Dian, we won! I'm so happy" said Chloe happily, Still holding onto Ian's two hands.
Ian stared silently at his hands held by Chloe. In his heart he also felt rather happy that he could win the match, but Ian preferred to keep his pleasure in his heart.
Chloe also pulled Ian towards the judges who had called them earlier.
Ian and Chloe receive a medal and award for their victory, All their schoolmates including Alice and Evelyn are thrilled.

Chloe drank her mineral water while enjoying the breeze that flew her strands of hair. View the entire school from the roof.
"Ah, It's better to be in the Rooftop after the game" Chloe thought as she leaned her back against the guardrail after drinking.
While Ian beside Chloe, As usual just read her light novel. Occasionally, the red-fingered young man's hands plucked the cake in the stock that Chloe had just brought.
"Well, why do you like being here so much?" Chloe asked, Breaking the silence around them.
"You can feel it for yourself" retorted Ian indifferently, Without taking his eyes off the novel.
"Color's cold here?"
"Hm,"
Chloe's got a beard, picking up her cake. Eat in silence.
"Btw, when I fell down the stairs. Thank you for helping me,"
"Hm,"
Chloe gave a small snort, She sometimes felt irritated by Ian's answer that she didn't understand.
"Can you give me another answer besides 'Hm'!?"
"No!"
Chloe took the cake that was one in her box, but Ian also wanted to take it. Of course Chloe looked at Ian in wonder, whereas Ian stared at her with a flat gaze. Seeing that last cake is in Chloe's hands.
"out?"
"Yes, there's only one" said Chloe, showing her the cake in her hand, with a sinless face wanting to eat the cake.
"Begging," Ian turned his gaze away from the light novel, Staring at the cake in Chloe's hands with an elusive look.
Chloe glanced at the cake for a moment, Ian liked it too anyway. Chloe thinks Ian doesn't like his cake.
"Like it too, I don't think I like it. Nih," Chloe said as she split the cake in half, handing over some of the pieces to Ian.
"When I say I don't like it," Ian took the piece and ate it with a calm expression.
"If you want I can make more, but pay," said Chloe jokingly, Chuckling softly for a moment while eating her part of the cake.
"Curtain, Installment,"
"Have I said installments! You're the same, he said he wanted to take part in the original tennis race in pay. It's the same, "Chloe replies furrowing her eyebrows.
"That's different,"
Chloe shook her head slowly, then picked up the bottle of mineral water and the box of supplies that had run out. Moving from his seat.
"Au ah dark, I go first,"
"Hm,"
Chloe leaves from there leaving Ian alone, while Ian continues reading her light novels.
*****************
[Class]
"Sister Chloe, after school we go to yuk's restaurant," Invite Devian after Chloe keeps the mineral water and the supply box.
Chloe looked at the smiling Devian happily.
"Maybe, but you're the deal, yeah," according to Chloe, who asked her to buy Chloe. Pretty money is not wasteful fit in the restaurant later.
"Sip it, Let me take care of the cost issue," Devian gave a small nod still smiling, a moment of cunning appreciation.
"Btw, in what order was it?"
"Hm...Consider it a victory over our school while keeping my promise that was delayed,"
"Oh, Alright,"
"Yes, I'm leaving first Brother Chloe,"
Chloe just nodded letting Devian go outside the classroom, Then Chloe sat in her chair wanting to sleep for a while.
**************
[Rootstop]
Devian casually opened the roof door, Finding Ian sitting alone there. He approached Ian with a calm pace, The small breeze that flew a little blazer he didn't care about.
"What are you doing here!?"
Without even looking, Ian knew that the one approaching him was Devian. The young man in red closed his light novel. Looking at the sharp Devian who was already standing nearby.
"Just visit, I don't think anyone's here" said Devian calmly, putting his hands in his pants pocket, smiling obliquely.
Ian was still silent, not budging from his place. Her Netra stared at the school gate from afar.
"If there's nothing important to talk about, you better leave" Ian said coldly without looking.
Devian chuckled softly for a moment, Still looking at Ian.
"It turns out your mind's getting more sensitive,"
"I don't like pleasantries! The point is straight!" Cut Ian fast, his red Netra looked sharply at Devian's young Brown Netra.
"Cih, Alright. After school, you followed us quietly. I've taken Chloe's sister to the restaurant, so get yourself ready,"
Ian turned his face away, not wanting to hear anything more from Devian. He knew Devian's plan would be done sooner or later.
"Don't be late! Or you'll lose track of us," added Devian flatly, After finishing with his affairs Devian left from there.
BLAM!
Ian was still silently reminded of Felix's request when he met him at the hospital.
"Please take care of Chloe, you're the only one we can trust Ian. Raizel and I will try to find information about Justin. So as long as we're looking for that information, take care of Chloe at school and out of school. Devian cannot be expected because he is very impartial and royal to Justin. Please Ian, please,"
That's as intense as Ian's memory of Felix's request to him, Ian realizes that Felix seems to be very affectionate with Chloe. Complicated family relationships according to him.
"Well...It bothered you a lot Devian," murmured Ian softly, Sighing in a small breath.
He climbed up from his seat, exiting the Rooftop area.
