Let me tell you a story about a girl.
There was a beautiful girl who was born into a family with an ancient heritage. She was accompanied by all kinds of light and expectations since her birth.
The girl lived up to the expectations. Her outstanding talent and unremitting efforts made her the best and most dazzling among the children of her generation.
The girl took it for granted until a boy appeared.
The two first met because the girl's sister, who was as outstanding as the girl, was to be adopted into the boy's home to become the family heir.
At first, the girl didn't take the boy seriously. It's easy to imagine that a family with a child wants to adopt a child as an heir, which shows how useless the boy is.
It would be fine if he was nice to his sister, but if he dared to bully her, she would teach him a lesson! The girl, who was only six years old at the time, swore.
In the end, the girl's vow was not fulfilled because the boy treated her very well and her sister liked this new brother very much. She admired him to the point that her biological sister was jealous.
Let’s just remember his name for now - the girl thought so and continued to live her unchanging life, studying and growing up surrounded by her serious and handsome father and her gentle and kind mother.
At that time, she didn't know what kind of mark this name would leave in her future life.
As time passed, the girl grew up slowly, but the life that she thought would continue until adulthood changed quietly.
After her father, who was the pillar of the family, participated in a ceremony that the girl could not quite understand, his health deteriorated, and she and her mother had to bear more pressure. However, she did not suffer from this, because she was the heir of the family and would support the family one day, and now the time was just a little earlier.
But when she began to learn from her father and work hard for the family, she was surprised to find that the boy, whom she ignored and regarded as the caregiver of her sister, was actually in a similar position as her.
This made the girl curious.
After several contacts, this curiosity turned into a strong competitive spirit, because this boy was not as useless as she thought, on the contrary, this boy was as good as herself.
Whether as an ordinary person or as a magician.
Whether it is how to behave in society or in combat effectiveness.
This made the girl feel highly threatened - this guy had such a good relationship with her sister and was so outstanding, so wouldn't the meaning of her being a sister be taken away
It was absurd and funny, but it was the girl's truest thought at the time. The motivation for the girl to become stronger was not only to respond to her parents' expectations, but also for her lovely, late-maturing sister.
Of course, now there is one more boy who is better than that one, letting his sister know that she is the best.
In the girl's eyes, a sacred battle began.
Unfortunately, neither the process nor the results were good.
She finally seized the opportunity and managed to create a competition, but she lost.
Unconvinced, she continued to look for opportunities and to provoke.
However, I failed again and again.
Running, self-defense, writing, knowledge competitions... She tried every event she could think of, but she didn't win, and the best result was a draw.
The stubborn girl refused to give up and continued the so-called competition. Once, she almost caused trouble and was severely reprimanded by her parents. At this time, it was the boy who stepped forward and took the responsibility, so that the girl was spared punishment.
However, the girl who entered the rebellious period early did not appreciate it.
Humph, do you think this will make me give up? No way.
Not only did he steal my sister away, but he also pretended to be a good boy in front of my parents. People like him are the most annoying.
I must defeat you and tear off your disguise!
The stubborn girl became more cautious and continued to compete with the boy. Although the boy was always running out and was not at home more and more, as long as she was patient, she would always get the chance. Before that, it was all her time to work hard and accumulate.
Hard work pays off, the opportunity finally comes, and the battle begins again.
After many days of hard training and thorough preparation, she finally won.
The girl was very happy, thinking that her hard work had not been in vain, that she had really won, and that she had finally proved that she was the best person.
However, before she could be happy for long, she found something wrong. Winning once was not strange, winning twice was not strange, but winning three or four times, even in events that she was not good at, was very strange.
As the girl grew older and more mature, she soon realized the problem. These victories were not due to her own abilities, but the boys were deliberately giving in to her. The evidence was that she did not use her full strength, and even used less strength than in previous games, but the boys still lost.
This made the girl angry.
What are you doing? Are you trying to look down on me and pity me
What I want is not this kind of victory, but a serious competition with both of us going all out, which is meaningful.
Victory is victory!
Defeat is defeat!
This kind of victory that comes by chance is not as good as you defeating me quickly, making me realize my shortcomings and keep working hard to come back.
I am not such a fragile and vain person!
The girl who expressed her true feelings returned to her previous life.
Fail! Fail! Fail! Fail again and again.
Even the passing of his father, even the arrival of the legendary master who accepted him as a disciple, could not affect this rhythm.
Unconsciously, defeating the boy has become one of the girl's most important goals in life.
It was no longer for my sister or for anyone else, it was just that I simply didn't want to lose and wanted to defeat him.
This continued for several years, until both of them participated in the ceremony that their father once participated in, stepped onto the stage for a duel again, and finally learned the reason why their father's health deteriorated and eventually passed away.
She said that the boy was the murderer of her father and was her enemy. For the sake of her family and her father, she must defeat him.
In fact, she knew very well that the boy had little to do with his father's death. She just wanted an excuse, a reason to make him go all out and for herself to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Yes, it is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. With the help of the power of heroes who should have only existed in history, she saw his true strength, and also made full preparations with the power of the heroes her father had summoned, the unparalleled kings of the past and present.
If I lose this time, I will never have a chance to win again - the girl said to herself.
For this showdown, even in the showdown with the heir of the rival family, these key arrangements were never used.
Even so, she still lost.
Or at the critical moment when you think you have a sure win.
The gap between heaven and hell finally made the always strong girl lose her balance. She yelled, shouted and questioned hysterically.
"Why?"
"Why can you still block it!"
"Why is the gap so big!"
"Why can't I reach you even though I try so hard!"
She, Toosaka Rin, refuses to accept!
PS: It's rare for this chapter to be lively, and I'm very pleased. The word "condescending" is inappropriate and has been deleted. Apart from this, don't rush to conclude whether Rin handled it well or not, and don't rush to conclude how her mentality has changed. Read it first and then decide.
