Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

"Really? Then it seems you really do have a lot of deer at night."

Bai E: “…”

Following the footsteps of the other students, Bai E and Wan Di slowly walked out of the classroom.

It was afternoon, and the setting sun hung high in the sky.

Some students don't go home immediately after school, but continue to play in various areas of the campus.

For example, playing table tennis, badminton, basketball...

Basketball, in particular, is a sport that many boys enjoy, and girls love watching it too.

Just then, Bai E was passing by the basketball court when a basketball came flying at him.

"Huh?" Wan Di was stunned as the basketball was about to hit him in the face.

'Splat—'

Like catching a blackboard eraser, Bai E casually caught the basketball that flew towards him, and then twirled it on his finger.

Then, to Saifeier, who had thrown the basketball, he said:

"Friend, be careful when playing basketball, it wouldn't be good if you hit a classmate passing by."

"Sorry, she just wanted to say hello."

A man slowly stepped forward:

"At that time, Teacher Xia said you had some athletic talent, so I would like to get to know you."

The person speaking at this moment was a man named Dan Heng.

"Of course," Bai Er smiled.

"Looks like you guys are pretty good at basketball?"

"However... that's not how you play basketball."

Behind Dan Heng stood the other members of the basketball club, who all cast their gazes at Bai E.

Aglaia was wearing a sports vest, her long golden hair tied up high, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on her face.

Standing next to her was a red-haired girl with a high ponytail, whose expression looked much gentler than Aglaia's.

She frowned slightly, seemingly worried about whether Wan Di was alright after almost being hit.

Before the red-haired girl could speak, Saifeier, wearing a cat-ear hoodie and hip-hop attire, laughed and said:

"Our basketball skills are passable, want to give it a try?"

“Yeah, come give it a try.” The long-haired black man standing behind beckoned to Bai E. “Dan Heng really wants new team members to join.”

"Your Excellency, please do not hesitate to offer your guidance." Xia Die, with her hair tied in a high ponytail, also extended an invitation.

"Oh? Since you all put it that way... then I'll give it a try, albeit a small one."

"Wan Di, move aside a bit~" Bai E patted Wan Di on the shoulder.

"Are you really going?" Wan Di frowned.

"They're all trained athletes from the school team, and there are so many girls from other classes watching..."

The underlying meaning of his words was that Bai E should not seek to be abused in such a place, as it would only lower his image in the eyes of the female classmates.

Bai E glanced at the distance and saw many familiar faces sitting on the steps, including the prettiest girl in his class.

"Then I definitely need to show off!"

He flashed a hearty smile, then his gaze sharpened as he looked at the school team members. "Ready?"

Upon hearing this, Aglaia, Xia Die, Dan Heng, Tirispius, Sai Feier, Yan Huan, and the others exchanged glances, then spread out to defend the basketball hoop behind them.

"Haha, I'll start then!"

Amidst the astonished gazes of Wan Di and the surrounding classmates, Bai E arrived at Dan Heng, who was standing at the very front, with lightning speed.

"Ok?"

To Dan Heng's astonishment, Bai E dribbled the basketball and sidestepped past.

Next to defend was Aglaia.

She spread her arms wide, her deep gaze blocking Bai E's path.

But the latter just smiled nonchalantly and used a feint to shake him off again.

The red-haired girl, the purple-haired girl, and the hooded woman were also helpless against Bai E's graceful movements and were easily broken through.

"Oh? Not bad at all." Yan Huan stood under the basket, watching Bai E rushing towards her, and slowly opened her arms. "If you can spare me, then you've got guts~"

"Ha, then let's not beat around the bush!"

As Bai E approached Yan Huan, he did not slow down at all, but instead crashed straight into him.

"?"

While Yan Huan was still in a daze, the white-haired youth suddenly stomped his feet and flew into the air.

He then stepped on Yan Huan's shoulder and used the momentum to leap up again.

‘Bangdang——’

A few seconds later.

The ball was forcefully slammed into the basket.

Bai E landed steadily, picked up the basketball that had bounced up from the ground, and spun it on his fingertips.

He turned around, looked at the group of people with different expressions who were walking towards him, and said with a faint smile:

"Actually, basketball is just a sport."

"Its purpose is simply to exercise, not to show off."

The entire basketball court fell silent, and everyone's eyes were on Bai E.

It was Danheng's light, leisurely applause that broke the atmosphere.

"He really is a dunking expert."

Dan Heng smiled faintly:

"Perhaps...we can be friends."

When Dan Heng invited him, Bai E simply brushed past him, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"Maybe next time, if there's a chance~"

……

On a dimly lit pile of withered grass.

The fire-stealer, cloaked in black, slowly awoke and looked up at the dark night sky.

"..."

Chapter 1379: Carrying the best sword in the village

"Phew~ I slept for a long time."

Bai E slowly got up, opened the communication stone tablet, and glanced at the time.

"Has it reached the door...?"

Under the illumination of the dawn machine, there was no difference between day and night in Ohmma.

If someone were to inherit the divine office of the Sky Titans, would the sun of Onphalus still rise as usual?

Many people have this question, including Bai E.

"It's been several days since Xia Die and Yan Huan left for Stikocia. I wonder how they are doing now."

Logically, if danger occurs, they can return to Ohmma immediately.

The fact that they are not present in the holy city means it is safe.

'Knock knock knock—' There was a knock on the door.

"Bai E, are you there?" Dan Heng's voice sounded from outside the door.

"Yes!" Bai E immediately got out of bed, put on his slippers, and opened the door.

"Brother Danheng, is there something you need?"

"It's nothing, we just need to check on the status of each Golden Descendant."

Dan Heng, holding the tablet and stylus, asked Bai E:

"Have you been feeling unwell lately?"

"To be honest... does feeling uncomfortable count?" Bai E smiled sheepishly.

"I never expected to be at odds with the teacher and Xia Die. I still feel a little dazed."

"If everyone can work together, wouldn't we be able to better change the current situation in Onphalos?"

"Perhaps," Dan Heng said calmly.

"But as anonymous visitors, we have never arrived in a world where everyone is truly united."

"As long as there are people, there will be conflict and antagonism..."

Even in Pinocchio, a territory known as the Harmonious Territory, remnants of the Order can lurk.

If everyone shares the same goal, and everyone in Ohm works towards the same objective, perhaps the process of saving the world can truly be accelerated.

But people have thoughts, and they will always consider themselves first when doing things.

Nowadays, only the Golden Descendants and a few ordinary people are still willing to sacrifice themselves for others at any cost.

"Is that so?" Bai E couldn't help but sigh.

"It was only when I stood up to debate that I realized just how immense the pressure Ms. Aglaia faces every day was."
