It's good to be confident.
But sometimes, excessive blind confidence isn't advisable.
It's clear that Daxiong doesn't seem to be cut out for this.
He doesn't have the leadership qualities of Chumushan.
So, most of the classmates aren't very impressed with his ability to organize training, and some didn't even come to the training today.
This is where Chumushan's authority and importance as class monitor are demonstrated.
If the teacher had directly assigned Chumushan the task of organizing after-school training yesterday, perhaps they would have started practicing today.
It can only be said that Chumushan's illness really isn't well-timed.
Since Daxiong had left, Lin Feng and Jingxiang could only go back for now.
Perhaps Daxiong really would bring them some surprises tomorrow.
"Aaaah! Doraemon~~!"
"You must help me this time...!"
As soon as he got home, Daxiong couldn't wait to throw his schoolbag and then hug Doraemon, begging and complaining.
His aggrieved look was enough to make anyone who saw it sad and anyone who heard it cry.
It was a pity that Doraemon had long been completely immune to Daxiong's exaggerated acting. At this moment, he was leaning against the windowsill, concentrating on reading a comic magazine.
"Yes, yes, yes..."
Perfunctory, utterly perfunctory.
In the face of Daxiong's pleading and complaints, Doraemon's response didn't show a single trace of sympathy or encouragement, only dry, meaningless perfunctoriness.
He didn't even lift his head to look at Daxiong from beginning to end.
It was as if his entire attention was captivated by the comic magazine in front of him.
"What do you mean 'yes, yes, yes'? Are you even listening to me!"
"What are you looking at so intently...? Hmm? Isn't this the latest issue of Weekly Shonen? You got it so quickly...!?"
Daxiong originally wanted to use his own way to get Doraemon to snap out of his immersion in the comic magazine in his hand.
Unexpectedly, after just a glance, he found himself deeply engrossed and unable to pull away.
"Doraemon! You sly dog! You didn't even tell me you bought it!"
"Quick, let me see what happens next! Did Tanjiro successfully pass the survival trial on Wisteria Mountain? Did he fight that Hand Demon?"
Daxiong was truly Daxiong; he'd forgotten so quickly why he'd rushed back to find Doraemon in the first place.
Instead, he was immediately eager to read the ongoing story of Demon Slayer in Weekly Shonen with Doraemon.
Ever since Lin Feng's Demon Slayer manga was officially published after signing a contract with the publishing house, the original drafts he drew naturally became a trade secret.
Even though Daxiong and Lin Feng were classmates, he wouldn't feel right asking Lin Feng to see the original drafts.
But they really wanted to know what happened next in Demon Slayer, so they could only buy Weekly Shonen issue by issue to follow the updates.
However, Weekly Shonen suddenly exploded in popularity because of the serialization of Demon Slayer, leading to a shortage of the latest issue of the magazine whenever it was first released.
If you went late, you were very likely to miss out.
So now, seeing Doraemon bring back the latest issue of Weekly Shonen, Daxiong was also somewhat eager to see the subsequent plot of Demon Slayer.
Especially since the last two chapters updated had ended right as the protagonist Tanjiro entered the survival trial on Wisteria Mountain. He'd taken out two demon underlings and met the boss of Wisteria Mountain, the Hand Demon.
It could be said that the upcoming battle between Tanjiro and the Hand Demon, the boss of Wisteria Mountain, was definitely the climax of the entire trial plot.
Just as the exciting battle between the two sides was about to begin, it suddenly cut off.
And the next update wouldn't be until next Monday. This kind of "to find out what happens next, please wait for the next chapter" routine really made people feel a bit annoyed.
This kind of thing was just unpleasant, so let's not talk about it.
Of course, Doraemon was already used to Daxiong's behavior, which was completely lacking in principles and a sense of self.
Although he was somewhat helpless, the most important thing now was to satisfy his curiosity and finish reading the newly updated content.
After the two of them squeezed together and finished reading the two recently updated chapters, half an hour had already passed.
In fact, for manga fans who often read manga, two chapters of content alone wouldn't take this long.
But the problem was that some of the fight scenes and details in this manga were drawn so richly, and Doraemon and Daxiong wanted to see different parts of the story.
So, the result of their arguing back and forth was that it took even longer.
"Phew...!"
"It's a good thing Tanjiro was finally able to see that dotted line guiding him to the opponent's weakness and cut off the Hand Demon's neck, otherwise, it would have been really bad...!"
"Yeah, with this, he should be able to pass the trial successfully and become a true member of the Demon Slayer Corps."
"I'm really looking forward to the rest of the story!"
Closing the manga magazine, Doraemon and Daxiong excitedly began to discuss the exciting plot they had just read.
Because the cliffhanger this time was right at the end of the Wisteria Mountain survival trial, it left readers and fans with even more room for their own imagination.
"Ah! That's right! It's all your fault, I almost forgot the important thing!"
"Doraemon, I don't care, you have to help me this time."
"Otherwise, I'll definitely become a person who doesn't keep their word in front of Jingxiang...!"
Daxiong was just savoring the exciting plot he'd just seen a moment ago, but the next second he reacted immediately. He hurriedly hugged Doraemon and began to pour out his request, tears streaming down his face.
Even though he'd become the organizer of this centipede race through a series of mishaps, even to the point where the teacher had only chosen him because they couldn't find anyone else,
if Daxiong could lead his classmates to win the team competition at the summer sports meet this time, he could not only show off in front of Jingxiang and earn some brownie points.
In his mind, it wasn't even impossible to challenge the top student and class monitor, Chumushan, for his position in the class.
After all, this kind of team competition, with the class as a unit, would not only be watched by students from their own school, but many parents would also come to watch.
To stand out among so many teams would definitely be an incredibly glorious thing.
Even though he hadn't started doing anything yet, Daxiong could already imagine the beautiful scene of him leading the class to victory, with Jingxiang and the other girls in the class surrounding him, constantly praising and admiring him.
