2 Champion Debut

"IT IS DECIDED! CONTESTANT #5 WINS!"

Rob and Rhyz announced the winner euphorically and in sync.

"WOOOOOAAAAHW"

"OOOOOHHHHHH!"

The audiences are roaring aloud about #5's victory.

~~~~~

The City's Annual Championship Tournament (ACT) is a famous and free contest to every participants that usually happens every year.

It's aim is to test your strength and to show that you are strong amongst them all.

In this battle royale, the contestants' name were anonymous to show some respect to their privacy. It is needed to avoid the lost partakers being cyberbullied by tagging their true names about having weak power and resolution.

You will only mention your name once you become the new champion of the Annual Championship Tournament.

(At the busted stage)

"The title of champion has been taken now by Contestant #5."

Rhyz continued to promulgate the achievement reached by the former contestant that is now a champion.

"I, Rob, bestow you the title you deserved as you are now the new successor of the former champions."

< Rhyz and Rob's roles are commentator, reporter, and awarder. >

"As the tournament's vow says, you may now declare your name, full of pride and confidence. Declare that you are one of the strongest!"

Rob was kinda thrilled about the coronation-like process.

"I guess I cannot ignore that part, huh."

The new champion seems to say that it is a bother. He just scratched his head lightly.

#5 put down his left arm. He grasped the microphone from the hands of Rob delicately using his left hand.

While stroking and brushing his hair upwards with his right hand, he said

"My surname is Kayamura and my given name is Shin. In summary, it is

'Kayamura Shin'."

Shin blandly smile upon the crowd. Again, he started to stare at nothing and look beyond reality.

"SHIN! SHIN! SHIN! SHIN!"

'SHIN! SHIN! SHIN! SHIN!"

The audiences was cheering the recent titleholder gladsomely.

'Do not forget me! Remember that!"

'What? It is the sequel!'

The daydream came out again. It is still about that woman. He turned his head down to think carefully.

'Once you get out here, promise that you'll come and find me. Do not forget me! Remember that!'

He completely remembered the sentences that the girl told. Shin conjucted the two statements from his separate daydreams.

'Whoever you are, I am sorry. I still don't know you.'

Shin felt guilty about not recalling who is she.

'This daydreams are like a sign or something. It never appeared before until now. Maybe..she is here?'

Shin concluded that she might be in the swarm of people.

He chinned up as he looked like a curious wanderer with a goal.

While the crowd was being festive around Shin, he glanced to each person presented at the crowd area.

"Eyy Rob, should we let the audiences to take a picture with the newly debut champion?"

"I guess, yeah. It is reasonable as the match was already ended."

"CITIZENS! YOU MAY NOW TAKE A COMMEMORATIVE PHOTO WITH KAYAMURA SHIN!"

Rhyz proudly broadcast that the audiences may now snap a picture with Shin as he launched his left arm to the air.

"YOOOOSSSSHH"

"OI, STOP PUSHING ME!"

"IT IS FIRST COME FIRST SERVE!"

The crowd was running amok towards the new champion to have a selfie with him.

It caused a stampede that even Shin felt like he is in a sardine can.

"Ehh? Tsk, what a cunning commentator."

Shin was obviously pissed at the commentators as they disrupted his alloted time to observe the people so that maybe he can find the girl.

*ZOOOOOOOM*

"Oiii, what happened?"

"He is gone?"

Shin teleported away from the stampede.

As a result, the mass was suprised by the disappearance of him.

"Look above, he is floating."

"It's true, guys."

"Unbelievable!"

Someone from the horde spotted Shin.

There are mixed reactions on the herd. Others found it expected from him. The opposite side found it supernatural as there is only few people who can manage to float.

"You guys wanted to take a picture of me, right? Just do it now or else, you will hurt other people by stampeding."

'Shin is really nice.'

'Really deserved the championship.'

The people genuinely witness how kind Shin is. They will now truly respect him now.

They have been taken many pictures of him and some of them created an article about how nice he is.

(On the next morning)

*Scrub scrub scrub*

*Gargle gargle*

*Spit*

< Oh, Shin is just brushing his teeth and using mouthwash. >

"What a day I had yesterday, haaaaaah."

Shin got out of the bathroom done doing his daily routine.

He talked to himself about the debut day.

He sat down the sofa and let a big sigh.

"But still.."

'Once you get out here, promise that you'll come and find me. Do not forget me! Remember that!"

"I still couldn't find her at the crowd."

Shin had a flashback of the daydream.

Even so, he doesn't remember who is the woman. Yet, he felt guilty and sorry for the girl.

"Why am I still thinking about it?"

Shin irritably punched the air to relieve the stress he caught on.

A mysterious man in 30's suddenly showed up beside Shin.

"Then, stop thinking about it. Easy."

"No, no, I want to but I can-"

Shin just now, finally realized that he is talking to someone.
