I Love Destroying Worlds' Plot

Chapter 1705: 23.24 Second Grey Star - Regional Competition

The training had lasted for a whole month for every athlete who joined the regional competition for figure ice skating for both solo and pair divisions. They had been practicing their sequence, trying to reach its perfection. When the day of the competition finally started, everyone had gathered at the venue where the regional ice figure skating competition had begun. All competitors started arriving at the venue one at a time. The entrance was filled with audience and media covering the whole competition to be reported either live or broadcast for later events.

Regional Competition Venue

Cameras were positioned at the entrance connected to the ice rink. They are waiting for the players to come out. The hosts started the event as their voices resounded throughout the whole area.

The hosts said, {Everyone, welcome to the Regional Ice Figure Skating competition!}

{The competition had two divisions. Solo and duo. Let us welcome the competitors from the Duo Division.}

One by one, the pairs on the list wearing their best costumes started coming out. The most popular among these pairs is none other than Yun Hun and Lei Junʼs pair, led by a famous veteran solo player, Sirius Frost. Normally, the Frost Clan and every athlete under their protection are to wear clothing in white with a Frost imprint. However, ever since Hei Anjing was labeled as the White King, everyone else was forbidden to wear white except for him. Likewise, for Black after Ye Xiajie was labeled as the Black King.

Thus, the Frost family had to change their skating costume from white to light blue. Right now, Lei Jun and Yun Hun are wearing a couple of clothes in a light blue shade. Their motif today is a mermaid. Most skating costumes were custom-made for each athlete, and themes varied from time to time.

The host said, {Let us all welcome the most popular pair, who are said to have the highest rating, to win the pair division. From the Frost Clan, let us all welcome their new coach, Mr. Sirius Frost, and the pair under him, Mr. Lei Jun and Yun Hun.}

{Oh my, there are a few familiar names. Isnʼt Lei Jun a child athlete?}

{But it seems that his partner had been replaced. Isnʼt his former partner that little genius? His partner possessed the same name.}

{I know the tragic story about the original pair. The little genius had suffered an injury just before their first regional competition and failed to attend it. He was replaced by his younger twin, and it was the beginning of when Lei Jun and Yun Hun first won their regional pair championship.}

{They failed their first city competition, though.}

{The little genius, after losing his opportunity for his first regional competition as a pair, not only lost his partner. However, he chose to fight for it and join the solo competitions instead. He has proven that he can stand on his own.}

The commentatorʼs words fell into the ears of Lei Jun, making him lose the mood he had when they first arrived. His partnership with Yun Luan, the one called the little genius, was something that he hated the most in his life. That was the era when he could not even raise his head, as Lei Jun was only known as the little genius partner.

Yun Hun noticed the mood change in Lei Jun and said, ”Brother Jun, calm down. They know nothing. Letʼs just do our best today.”

”Thank you, Hunʼer,” said Lei Jun as his bad mood faded under the smile of Yun Hun.

Sirius Frost, who was watching the two of them, narrowed his eyes at their interaction. As if there is something he wanted to do today but didnʼt say so due to the location and timing. Even Yun Hun knew that the will of Lei Jun wasnʼt that strong. Thatʼs why Yun Hun was used to this kind of situation, where he had to comfort this man.

Yun Hun accidentally met the cold eyes of their new coach, Sirius Frost, and saw him smile a bit. However, this smile is not out of happiness or satisfaction. But instead, it was as if he was staring at some kind of new toy he could play with until he got bored, the disposable kind of toy. Yun Hun had seen this kind of thing multiple times, and most of the time it had something to do with his elder twin brother, Yun Luan.

The feeling of being compared to a genius brother is not good, though. Adding the fact that you can never possess the same ability. It was as if differentiating between the original and which is the copycat. Yun Hun had lived in the shadows of his elder brother. He had had enough of being compared, and he couldnʼt continue living his life under the shadow of his twin brother. Thatʼs why, when his brother lowered his guard, he forcibly dragged him down and replaced him.

Even though he didnʼt possess the same level of talent, he could cover it up with expressive acting and manipulation. The one he controlled was his parents; second was Lei Jun, and finally his brotherʼs coach, Runa Frost. Finally, he stole everything that was meant for Yun Luan, one by one. Waiting for his brotherʼs downfall, Yun Hun never expected his brother not to give up.

Yun Luan only lost his partner and gained distrust of dancing as a pair, but his talent is still there. The fact that he won championships at all solo competitions he had joined shows the fact that he is an existence that is meant to shine brightly on the ice. This is also the reason why, despite taking away almost everything and everyone from his brotherʼs side, he was still not satisfied and tried to sabotage him further.

Yun Hun asked Sirius Frost, ”Is there something wrong, Coach Frost?ʼ”

”Nothing. Focus on your dance,” Sirius Frost said.

The hosts continued their commentary about the competitorsʼ identity and finally finished all introductions from the pair division. They are now about to welcome the sole competitors for todayʼs regional competition.

{We have finished the introduction for the competitors of the pair division. Now, letʼs welcome our solo competitors! }

{Let us all welcome the only student of the Black King. He is known for his wild countenance and arrogance, yet on the stage of ice, there is no one who possesses this kind of strong presence. It can be said that he had totally inherited his teacherʼs mantle.}

{Let us all welcome our arrogant prince. Mr. An Zhe and his coach… Hahaha, the one and only Black King, Mr. Noir! }

Entering the venue were Ye Xiajie and An Zhe, who were wearing black skating clothing. Though black is exclusive for the Black Kingʼs use, as the only student of Ye Xiajie, he was given the privilege to wear this color. Moreover, their whole venue was filled with the fans of the Black King and An Zhe. Thus, the moment they step into the venue, the shouts from all over the place can be heard.

AHHHH~

”Black King, please look here!”

”Your Majesty! Ahhh~”

”The little black prince, too. Good luck! Win the championship this time!”

”We are counting on you!”

”Or you will be forever in second place!”

Meanwhile, An Zhe was grumbling that he didnʼt hear any cheers about him being handsome like his coach did. Being called Black Prince sounds cringy. However, this is also an acknowledgement of his existence, and An Zhe didnʼt hate this feeling.

An Zhe, upon hearing the last few words, finally snapped, ”Who are you calling Forever Second Place!?”

”Calm down, Zhe,” said Ye Xiajie as he grabbed the back collar of his enraged student and dragged him away. Almost everyone in the crowd was laughing at the scene.

HAHAHAHA

Some other solo competitors were also introduced, and finally, someone the judges had been waiting for was about to enter the venue. As the voice of the hosts turned excited at the last competitor,

{Finally, our final competitor. The little genius of the stage of ice stage. Now, he has another nickname…}

When everyone saw You Luan coming out wearing a white costume, they finally realized why the hosts were excited. The audience and the judges were dumbfounded when they saw Yun Luan and his coach following after. They saw an extremely beautiful man with a mischievous smile on his face. Gorgeous as he always was, confident as he always is, and striding with elegance and grace. There is no way that no one in this venue doesnʼt recognize him.

The audience was like, ”Oh my god!”

”Is this for real!?”

”No way! Itʼs really him!”

”He had become the little geniusʼs coach. This is simply amazing.”

The hosts continue their commentary, {The White Prince. The one and only student of the White King, Mr. Blanc, is Yun Luan. Letʼs all applaud! }

Everyone couldnʼt help but welcome this pair with such excitement and eagerness. This time, not only had the Black King appeared, but even the White King, who is said to hate the crowd and only come to join competitions, had appeared at the venue as someoneʼs coach. No one is surprised. Thatʼs how rarely they see the White King outside his own competitions.

With the spotlight falling on the heads of Yun Luan and Yun Hun, who hated his brother, he almost couldnʼt hold back his expression. But that split moment of anger was seen by Sirius Frost. He knew that this child called Yun Hun was not just a friendly and cheerful child. There is a hidden darkness within him, and Sirius Frost finally catches a glimpse of it.
