Chapter 9:
Chapter Nine: Rival
THE INFINITY WORLD
We met up with the others and climbed up the hills to the continental’s gate.
It was only about a kilometer.
“So tell me~ do you have a girlfriend~? Infinity~”
Why is this human…… clinging onto me?
The girl is about 165 cm tall with a slim figure dressed in all black.
“Stop it Mary.” Amira came between us separating me with the girl.
“Yes~ ……I can be your girlfriend if you like~.” Another human clings to my right.
“Ada! Is this why you suggested……” Amira runs to my right and separated us.
Ada is a little taller than Mary, she has a short hair and is wearing glasses.
Very good……….. at least Amira knows how to act towards a god.
{Nope! That’s not it at all!}
“Naum, wait here. I’ll talk with the girls for a bit.” She dragged them a few meters behind.
It looks like they are talking about something serious.
{I already know what it’s about so I’m not going to ask.}
I didn’t need your……… help.
“Sorry for the delay……… I’ll give you a tour of our humble school. Though we cant cover it in a day.”
Hmm? The other humans are…….. walking behind us.
“You said you just came back from city 1 right? I’ll be going there the day after tomorrow. My cousin just enrolled in the continental.”
The day after tomorrow? Two days to the……… Gods invasion.
LV…………… Where in the world are they going to attack from?
{.……………. I…. No, You should focus on defending wherever they show up. You don’t need to worry about that.}
No, I want to know…… Ask me the question.
“And then………….. funny right?”
Amira is still……. Talking?
WHISPER
Upon entering continental’s gate, all the humans in sight began to gather around me.
{Every where you go humans surround you……. how does it make you feel?}
Like a god.
She’s not going to ask me where the gods will attack from?
{.……………..}
“Is that who I think it is?” “Why is he together with Amira?” “Idiot of course he would know her, she represents continental after all.”
{You girlfriend looks happy.}
“Hey Infinity~”
The humans(girls) from before got closer again.
“Huhu~ Our popularity is going to sky rocket.” “You said it girl~.”
Using me to become popular…….. Huh?
{Does it make you mad?}
I don’t mind……… I’m a god after all.
“Hey Naum~ it’s a little far to the main buildings. Do you want to get on a taxi?”
A taxi? Don’t they have machines?
“I………. cant enter a taxi.”
“Huh? Do you have motion sickness?”
“No………. They aren’t worthy of me.”
“EEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHH”
The crowd yelled out.
“I-I see.” Amira looked baffled.
“Infinity~ how many students are in this school~?” Ada asked leaning on me.
“20069” on the other hand, there are only 1200 in the ‘world academy’.
“Amazing!!”
Unlike the world academy, the continental has almost 17 times more students.
“Yesterday, a friend of mine injured her foot at the mall. Who is she?”
“Nantu kzeekmer…….. she was texting her lover………. when she fell.”
“.…………………”
“YYAAAAAAAHH”
They yelled out again.
{You have frozen their minds, they cant think of questions anymore.}
Hmph! All they need to do is……….. Ask.
And after some minutes of walking, we arrived at the stadium. It was bigger than the world academy’s, but just like ours: it had several sections for various sports.
“Naum~ do you want to play some games? All the continental elites are in there. Why not teach them a thing or two?”
“HAHAHA I want to see……. the look on their faces………… when they realize who the true elite is.”
{You’ve broken all the records, we don’t have time to waste playing.}
Ignore her………… she didn’t ask me what I wanted to know.
{I heard that!}
PING PONG
DASH
GOAL
GOLF
ETC
I played a variety of games with the pro’s. And in no time at all, they all miserably lost to me.
“Pathetic!!”
“I’m sorry I made you play a useless game………… If it’s okay with you, why don’t we play together? I’m a little good at long tennis.”
BAD-UMP BAD-UMP
{You don’t plan on going easy on her do you?}
Upon Amira’s request, we entered the tennis court and took our positions.
All eyes in the stadium turned to us. Some even got out of their seats to get a closer view.
“Hiyyah!” Amira makes a serve.
If I use my powers, it takes about a minute before the ball arrives.
For some reason however, i didn't want oir match to end so quickly.
“Amira! Do your best!” “We believe in you!”
The spectators cheered her on.
10 minutes into the game.
{Hey, Hey! What are you doing!? You are playing on the same level as her!}
Don’t you get it…………….? All the humans here look up to her……….. I cant shame her in front of them.
{.……………………………. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!}
“Stop shouting damn it!!!!”
“.…………..!!??”
Everyone stopped and stared at me.
You made me yell for nothing.
{Did I just hear you wrong? You’ve never been considerate of anybody before………. You really like this girl don’t you?}
Ignoring LV’s taunts, the match went on for 30 minutes with me scoring all the points. And Amira got crowded after the match.
“Amira, you were amazing!” “Even the continental Pro’s didn’t stand a chance against him.” “You really are our savior!”
They kept praising her.
{Hmph! She didn’t score a point yet they are praising her………. it’s all your fault, what if we lose our name?}
Our name………..? Funny.
{You are actually happy she’s getting praised aren’t you? Guess it’s true you feel inferior towards her.}
“What did you say!!!!!???” I roared in a much louder voice than ever.
Upon raising my voice, Everyone in the stadium once again paused and stared at me, but this time: their eyes looked a bit scared.
I should get out of here………. I don’t like this one bit.
“What are you looking at………… Humans?”
Passing through the puzzled crowd, I then walked out of the stadium.
Amira and the 4 girls followed me and behind them were the other students.
“Naum, a-are you leaving?”
“I have things…….. to do.”
“Huh!? Why don’t you hang out with us a little more.”
{They’ve already gotten popular enough, forget about them.}
You don’t have to tell me.
“Umm………”
Amira moved in closer.
“.……..”
“I-If y-y……………..” her face got bright red as she tried to make the words come out.
{Hmm? She’s nervous again?}
“I’m……… happy I got to………. see you again………”
She looked down saying that.
“I-if you are……….”
{.………… Tell her ‘lets hang out again sometime’.}
“Let’s hang out again……. sometime.”
“Really!?”
Whoa! She looks so…….. happy.
“Do you really mean it, Naum?”
“O-of course.”
“I’m so happy. I thought you’ve forgotten about me.”
What do I say?
{How can I forget about you, I’ve been thinking about you all the time.}
I told her the above.
Wait……… Why is everybody silent? It’s like they want to hear what we are saying.
“.………. I’m glad….. I’m……….” She then covered her face with her arm and ran away.
Did I do something wrong?
{No, you did great……… those are tears of joy.}
Joy………? I see.
“Hey infinity, don’t play with Amira just because you are number 1.” “We’ll make you pay if you hurt her!!” Ada and Mary yelled at me then followed Amira.
Have I gotten……… soft?
{Forget about them. We have important things to do.}
After that, a lot of students followed me until we reached the other gate which leads to the city. It’s directly opposite to my castle about 25km away.
I can see clearly if I move at 2 or 3 km per second……. Just how am I supposed to see anything at 1000?
….………………………………………………………..
Carefully shifting to avoid any damage, I arrived home and immediately went to bed.
We continued training for four more days and on Friday Afternoon while I was still asleep……….
The ground shook very intensely that I fell out of bed.
And the ground continued to shake even after I got on my feet.
“What’s going on!?”
{Don’t act stupid……… stand up straight, our first battle awaits us.}
The gods………. have come?
It was only about a kilometer.
“So tell me~ do you have a girlfriend~? Infinity~”
