— Did you have to do all this?
— It turned out to be a very good performance, Ori.It seems to me that everyone liked it.
- Yes?Who wouldn't like it when a beauty like you behaves so audaciously and even more so in this outfit.— Orion looks with wrinkled forehead.
— I can't show off my mind and body?Who are you to tell me what to do and how to do it?— Ei reproaches the guy.
— I didn't tell you what to do and how to do it, just this...that's too much.
After a pause, Ei looks into Orion's eyes.
— Are you jealous?"What is it?" she asks.
—Wh-what?"— The guy looks confused.
"You're jealous," the girl concludes.
— It's not like that!
"Pfft," a light chuckle escapes from her lips.
Walking together on the campus, Orion tries to somehow get out of the situation.
— Okay.You can calm down Ori.I understood you.Better tell me, what time will your competition be held?
The girl took pity on him and decided to change the subject.
"Do you understand me?You were just kidding..."
Orion has already realized that they are just playing with him.
"You're playing with feelings, aren't you?Well, wait, my revenge will soon overtake you!"
Shaking his head, Orion answers a friend's question.
— The rector decided to combine the contests of the heroes and rescuers course.While we rescuers will save people, the guys heroes will rake from improvised villains.
"Improvised... villains?"— The girl asks again.
— Yeah.Professors of their specialty and other, free heroes.
— I see.Ei nods his head.
— It starts at exactly 12.We still have half an hour.
— Do you have a special suit?
— He would be if someone helped me too.Orion looks towards the girl.
— Well, you know, there was little time and it was necessary to prepare for the competition…
— Did you need to rehearse the performance?Orion's gaze was filled with a slight contempt.
"I really didn't have time, Ori!Ei lamented.
— Yes, yes, selfish.— The guy turns away from her.
— Stop acting like a child and reproach me for such a minor oversight ... —The girl began to sulk.
— I'll just wear clothes that don't restrict movement.Orion decides to answer.
"I'll help you design the costume, I promise."
— Oke.— The corners of the guy's lips crept up.
"You'll have to make me a candy bar, not a suit."
The guy thought.
The couple was walking towards a huge domed building.
Giant screens were attached to the building itself.
They were constantly running various ads.
Near the building itself there were stalls serving a lot of people.
— There are a lot of people ... — Says Orion.
— Yeah, this time more than last year.— Confirms Ei.
— Well, let's not delay.Come on Ei.
- yes.
Getting closer and closer to the building, the couple was offered food, drinks, key chains and the like.
—It's like I'm at a bazaar, and not in the capital of a first world country ... — Said the Girl.
— This is our culture, but mostly people of different nationalities live here.There is no one, "root" nation.
— I know, Ori.They just rarely appear in such parts of the city.
— We need to walk around the city more.You spent all the time in the C building or walked at night with your friends near the unik.If you went out during the day, maybe a tan would appear, otherwise you're all pale.
— I'm not pale!In some cultures, marble skin color is the ideal to which they strive.
— Yes, yes.
Orion looks ahead.
— I'll go, it's my time to shine.
— Do not fall into the dirt face, otherwise I will be ashamed that I know you.
Orion looked at Ei with his eyes: "Are you serious?"
Shaking his head, the guy enters the building.
Going into the dressing room, Orion sees his classmates.
— Yo, guys.Orion raised his hand in greeting.
Some of the group also raised their hands in greeting.
After getting dressed, the guys sat on the benches and began to wait for the start of the competition.
Soon they were joined by other students.
Only one student stood out from them.
Looking at him, only animal fear was felt.
His body was well-built, with broad shoulders and well-trained muscles.
His face was stern, like a fighter who had gone through dozens of battles.
— My name is Doom.Nice to meet everyone
Doom shakes hands with everyone.
Unlike his kind, the guy himself was not so harsh.
— I study at the hero faculty.As you know, our contests have been united and now we have to work together.
Doom looked around at everyone present.
— I want to create 2 teams whose leaders will be responsible for their groups.We will contact each other to know where help is needed on the battlefield.
— I hope that we will be able to complement each other and everyone will pass the competition.
— How do you like it?
