Chapter 1204: NO. 108: Everyone has their own focus

~9 min read 1,667 words

NO. 108: Everyone has their own focus.

Although that is the case, when you set up layer upon layer of ambushes yet see no sign of the opponent……

This situation not only exists, but is the norm.

Countless stall owners' nonchalance about this is precisely proof that pranks are widespread.

Only when there is an actual attack is it a rare exception.

But Aomo came precisely for that extremely low probability, just as he once told Xiao Lu about the airship theory: what a cautious person seeks is peace of mind, is insurance for when something happens.

But unless you're trying to defraud insurance, insurance is of course best left unused.

So unlike the anxious, tense Ultraman warrior down below, the 'Sunday Tranquility' on stage, although initially showing a hint of ferocity and violence when first stepping on stage, after the song officially began quickly fell into rhythm, and even the gaze that frequently swept over the audience below became solemn and focused.

"……"

Together with the enthusiastic and lively Shanxin from over there, greeting the Great Expansive Sun God below the stage, this is truly the opposite.

"Burn, burn, burn~~! Right——side!"

\Right——side!! /

"Left——side!"

\Left——side!! /

"Everyone here! ~ Wei———!"

\Wei———!!! /

"Everyone, let's stay together until the end!!"

\Oh oh oh oh!!! /

"……"

Under the dimness occasionally lit by laser lights, the DJ host, who had long been prepared, had both headpiece and highlights coated with a layer of fluorescent treatment.

She is like a dim blue sun, but more often the lighting technician prefers to reserve a bright beam for her and for Shanxin Miss beside her, who constantly claps as part of the atmosphere team.

The enthusiasm under the glow is what they ought to be, while the opposite is the other side: the DJ assistant who spends most of the time shrouded in shadow.

'She' ought to be merely accompaniment, an unnoticed addition, yet 'her' solemn, stern eyes reveal a dark light in the shadows.

Although originally silent and still, her every gesture continually follows the music's rhythm, directly guiding the audience's cheering stick movements.

That is the golden moon overlooking everyone, hidden in the shadows, shedding light without warmth, exuding a presence impossible to ignore.

Even beginners new to this kind of activity can obtain from 'her' guidance synchronized with the surroundings, thereby further understanding music, rhythm, and even the onstage charm brought by atmosphere enhancement.

Clearly there are no additional light sources; clearly 'her' movements are merely swaying in the shadows, an indistinct dark trajectory hard to discern with the naked eye, yet many people stare at it unblinkingly.

With darkness etched in their eyes, hands following the rhythm, they instinctively respond to that 'instruction'.

Silent cheers and loud shouts, the golden cold moon and the azure corona stand opposed, yet soon, under the gesture of the former indicating to look toward the corona, they pause and merge, constructing an even more perfect stage effect.

By this point, even the backstage stage coordinator would be surprised by the perfection of this warm-up segment, and might even start worrying that the formal program can't keep up with the current heat.

"Even more exaggerated than the rumors—what is this?"

After withdrawing his gaze from the enthusiastic men and women waving glow sticks around, Qianming's representative gave a subtle glance at the index-finger-waggling rhythm leader on the high platform, then turned to the Ludaofu Symbol beside him and said, 'Why don't you learn? Even as a moon you could lead people's hearts like this.'

Compared to merely chasing the sun's trajectory, this is clearly a brand-new path.

Qianming's representative, speaking in his usual teasing tone toward a friend, naturally understands Ludaofu's situation, but for the two juniors beside him it is utterly a riddle.

Only after being startled by the sound did Zhenjiling and Aimu Zhiji break free from the atmosphere's influence; their gazes were all doubtful, and the president's answer would only deepen that doubt.

"It's hard to learn," this woman of human appearance shook her head, "He has, compared to the moon, an extra expanse of darkness, making him more like……"

"Speed Symbol that old hag!" a grating voice came from the screen, and in the two little ones' even more astonished gaze, the projection of the Sirius Symbol beside them was especially conspicuous.

Unconcealed volume, unhidden traits, plus the brightness inherent to the electronic projection—this, in the dimmed horse-girl exhibition audience seats, ought to be extremely eye-catching, yet in fact no one looked over here.

"Oh~!"

Qianming's representative, who first noticed this, again glanced upward at the two DJs.

"By this point it's already like a powerful mental interference technique—should we say these two have perfected their rehearsal, or are they overly in sync?"

"It's already enough to make Kalian jealous…" After the fact, yet not slow-witted, Zhenjiling gave a subtle glance toward the seemingly unaware school senior who was still loudly greeting the audience, full of vigor.

"I didn't expect the senior Sun God to also be an enemy, and moreover an unexpectedly strong foe."

"... I wouldn't say so; she simply didn't notice." Likewise gazing at the Great Expansive Sun God, Aimu Zhiji instead repeatedly felt that her roommate was making a fuss over nothing.

Like a full makeup before going out, like a full plan for a first meeting; in a sense, after reconciling with Umastar and even letting them become her trainer, Aimu Zhiji often feels a sense of déjà vu.

Just like this time, when she decided to take the stage despite worrying rumors about that guy, she only feels that making a fuss over nothing is rather something her roommate would do, but considering their age difference, the primary and secondary roles should probably be reversed.

... Could this be the reason Kalian acknowledges him as an older brother?

Whether it's recent influence, natural similarity, or something else… she isn't quite sure, since since being assigned this roommate, she has never seen Zhenjiling change.

On the contrary, Umastar, although they had met online long ago, upon meeting in person only began to notice his busyness and caution in daily life starting this year.

Regarding Aomo's past, she is still slowly exploring, with few results.

Although in large part this is because she is unwilling to ask Xie, Suzi, and even Kalian and such people.

But there is a turnaround, for since last month she has finally begun to accept cooperation and join a small group.

Although she still puts on some reluctance to be straightforward, at least she now has an additional channel for peeking at screens to gather information.

This channel is quite crucial.

There are many things; even if she herself finds it inconvenient to ask, she can always wait for a special mouthpiece (a substitute for the voice, to express her feelings) to speak up. However, because her time in the circle is still short, Kalian and that guy's past remain unclear, so she first summarized much of that guy's current state, which includes her present denial of the worry she feels toward Kalian:

"Rather than saying they are in sync…… it's more like that guy always gets along well with anyone."

Should we call him omnipotent, or say he has a unique big-picture view? He can always quickly ascertain the situation and then seize the opportunity; this was first heard from Suzi's remarks, then echoed by other group members, becoming a matter-of-fact common trait.

Regardless of the underlying principle, the result is the same: his emergency response ability is exceptionally outstanding, outstanding to the point that even if Aimu Zhiji witnesses the so-called perfect cooperation, she does not feel those two are in sync in any way, only feeling that the guy has come up with something new again.

"Indeed, Aomo the trainer's abilities outside of training are always astonishing, and in the realm of cooperating with others he has what can be called a versatile adaptability."

I don't know whether to be happy or not; the president acknowledged her judgment. This person, who rarely mentions achievements in the group, and whose connection with the trainer is unknown, is only heard to be a legendary horsegirl who will sign a contract with the trainer next year; in the eyes of many group members lacking information, she remains just as mysterious.

"I've always thought Aomo is just like me, the kind of person who will go for many certifications after graduation~!" Qianming echoed, "But that premise also requires him to be able to idle down."

"Compared to Rudolf, Qianming the representative is the well-known jungler who roams around, occasionally popping out to gank—nothing surprising for any trainer."

"The horse girls around Aomo had long accepted the fact that this person is close to Aomo, but as to whether this guy is worth being wary of… Aimu Zhiji couldn't tell, while little sister San kept advocating a declaration of war on all nations, firing everywhere."

"Never mind her for now…"

"Although she dotes on her little sister, in this regard a brown-haired girl who advocates leaving things as they are listened to Qianming senior's complaints, pulled out her phone to check, and at a glance spotted Ailisuzhi's private message."

"【Any discoveries! Or rather, those two aunts didn't come up with any dodgy schemes, right, including your little roommate】"

"Quite impolite, but that's just Ailisuzhi."

"She has always treated those with no experimental value like discarded shoes, and shows not a shred of respect for anyone trying to poach her trainer, yet she is also a major collaborator of Aimu Zhiji."

"At first glance, Aimu Zhiji appears to have been brought here alongside Zhenjiling, but in reality she is a spy for Ailisuzhi, having infiltrated the collaboration circle of Karen and the two senior veterans to eavesdrop on their 'plot'."

"【Especially that Qianming representative! Every single move of hers must be watched closely and then reported!!】"

"From this, it's not hard to see."

"In terms of outlook, this guy and the little sister are cut from the same cloth."
