Title: Hero

Day #15: Gongenzaka Noboru will be the hero that no one wants.


Gongenzaka Noboru knows too well about the deception of first glances.

He sees it in the eyes of the people he duels. They look at him and see a boy too tall and too big for his age, with a large nose, and a ridiculous haircut.

That wasn't all technically wrong of course, but they always underestimate him. Think that his appearance makes him who he is. There was a reason that Gongenzaka hates playing the villain. He refuses to fall into old prejudices, that appearance means heart.

The hero doesn't need to be pretty to be strong.

But the crowd wants to cheer for someone greater than life, beautiful and heroic, standing up against the odds. Someone like Yuuya or Yuzu, who smiles prettily as the audience goes wild.

But Gongenzaka has a brain behind all that muscle, he is not petty enough to fault his friends for what he cannot have. And Gongenzaka will never lose to the jealousy that changes people into villains.

So he continues to duel his way. The way of his dojo, the way of his heart.

And if no one wants him than Gongenzaka Noboru will be the hero that no one wants.
