"That...... If I'm not mistaken, Cook, your ability is [Copy], right?" After a while, Fenris finally walked out with a dry smile and walked in front of Cook.

Cook nodded heavily, expecting Fenris, whose flawless eyes shone like the morning sun, couldn't open his eyes.

"[Copy] is a very powerful ability, you have to take advantage of it. Fenris said in a serious and solemn voice, and then put on a look of reminiscing about the vicissitudes of the past, and his eyes gradually blurred.

"A second-order [Copy] ability can turn the situation of the entire battlefield upside down, you know?"

Cook shook his head suspiciously, and even the gaze that looked at Fenris grew suspicious.

Because [Copy] isn't a rare and epic ability to dilute, for example, the level of [Copy] is like the cabbage that can be found everywhere on the street.

I'm afraid that even if you advance to the second order, this kind of ability is still the lowest level among the second-order abilities, right?

"Tut-tut!" Seeing Cook's suspicious gaze, Fenris kept smacking his tongue with some smugness.

"You have to know that the most critical thing on the battlefield today is weapons and cannons, which side has more shells and more firepower, which side is more reasonable and powerful, under such background conditions, if one side suddenly has a second-order [copy] ability on the battlefield, how will the battle situation change?"

Hearing this, Cook couldn't help but fall into deep thought, and the scene of the gray and red destruction of the world appeared in his mind, and he shivered all over his body.

Indeed, on such a battlefield, it seems that it is not impossible for either side to have a second-order [Copy] ability, and which side can obtain an explosive increase in geometric multiples of firepower and crush the other party.

No, if you can't do that, you're really in trouble!

But...... No matter how strong the second-order [Copy] ability is, what does it have to do with me, a first-order [Copy] ability?

At the end of the day, it's a question of whether I'll be able to keep the [copy] ability after leveling up......

Thinking of the sealing and growth abilities that Teacher Afra used to popularize science for him in the past, Cook's originally excited and fiery heart was suddenly completely extinguished as if a vat full of cold water had been poured into it.

"Alas......" Cook let out a long sigh of wistfulness, adding a vicissitudes to his innocence for no reason.

"Haha, don't be so worried, no matter what kind of ability it is, it will be very limited in the first order, so it seems a little weak or even useless, but as long as you reach the second order, there is no kind of waste ability, understand?" Fenris seemed to see Cook's melancholy, patted his shoulders, and smiled encouragingly.

"That's right, you're already 100% compatible, and I believe you'll be able to advance soon. Manton also came over and gave him a word of encouragement.

"I'm not worried about these ......," Cook blushed and muttered quietly, feeling a little embarrassed by the sight of being encouraged as a child.

"And what are you worried about?

"That's not good, young people, don't always think about things that are not physically and mentally healthy. ”

"I'm not thinking about that, okay! And how did my seniors see my fit?"

"You'll naturally find out about this when you reach the second order. ”

"It's the second order again!......"

In Cook's weak sigh, the group sneaked out of the research institute with the help of Manton, as if they were afraid of being caught by someone, so that Fenris and the others didn't even dare to make a sound along the way.

As for who they are afraid of, Cook naturally doesn't know yet, but one day in the future, he will meet that mysterious person sooner or later.

……

The next day, it was a new week, which meant that Cook and Sheryl were once again in the ring for the class competition.

However, today is destined to be a day that will not be calmed......

"Hey, Cook, come with me to the rooftop!"

As soon as the lunch break began, the class door behind Cook was abruptly opened with a loud "bang", and Sheryl's solemn bass also followed, which sounded a little panicked.

"What's the matter, my lunch box hasn't been opened yet. ”

"Then let's go to the rooftop to eat!" Sherrill rudely grabbed Cook's back collar and placket, and then dragged him out mercilessly, leaving a whole classroom of stunned students, speechless one by one.

"Wait a minute, you let go first!!I'm a little out of breath!" Cook's face was purple and red, his eyes were bursting, and he looked like a ghost who had just come out of the underworld, and the frightened students retreated in fear.

"So, what do you want to do? Perform in public to kill yourself?" On the rooftop, Cook gently rubbed his neck and looked at Sheryl with a gloomy expression.

If that's the case, I think there's more room for self-depletion.

"Alas......" Hearing this, Sherrill exhaled a heavy breath of turbidity, with a complicated expression, quite a kind of mixed feelings, seeing through the prosperity of the world.

He slowly hid his face with a pair of trembling hands, and he was curled up and sighed in a melancholy manner.

This guy ...... It can't be broken......

Looking at Sheryl's abnormal posture, Cook's spine suddenly shivered, dripping cold sweat ran down his cheeks, and he grunted and swallowed a mouthful of saliva, he didn't know how to react to his body.

"Could it be that your date yesterday fell apart?" Cook could only come to this conclusion after a quick thought.

If there is anyone in this world who can fundamentally change Sheryl's coldness, it must be Elaine, after all, Elaine is the beginning of all Sheryl's coldness.

Then, the person who can make such a cold teenager suddenly fall down must be Elaine, or something absolutely related to Elaine.

What exactly did they experience yesterday?

Cook's curiosity was ignited!

"Ah...... Well, I still feel ...... Pretty smooth, right?" Sheryl's eyes moved slightly sideways, and his gaze was a little distracted.

He's lying!

In just a moment, Cook came to this conclusion with certainty! and there has never been a moment more confident than now!

"Seriously, what the hell is wrong with you?" asked Cook, sitting casually on the ground.

Sherrill was silent, just staring fixedly at the stone slab under his feet, a little distracted.

Just as the atmosphere gradually solidified and stiffened, the door of the rooftop was suddenly opened, and an anxious girl was looking crimson, panting rapidly, and her eyes quickly locked on Sheryl.

This girl is none other than Elaine.

Cook moved back with great interest, making way for a piece of space, and stayed quietly without saying a word.

"What did you run yesterday? I'll tell him well over there, what do you care so much about?" As soon as Elaine opened her mouth, Cook's jaw was deeply shocked, and the six souls instantly went out of her body.

I'm going to let you go on a date! Not to your parents!

Cook couldn't stop roaring in his heart, and his gaze gradually changed as he looked at Sheryl.

"Do you care, uncle, he's right, what do I care about?" Seryl, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke, and his indifferent tone was not disguised in the slightest.

"You can believe whatever he says? Can you be tough again! Dad is not such a stubborn person!"

"I know, but I can't do it right now. Sheryl's gaze was a little dim, but from time to time there were bright rays of light, making it impossible to see through his heart.

"What's not to do? I'm begging you, come with me one more time!" Elaine bent down slightly, crouching behind Sheryl, her white slender fingers hooking Sheryl's hands, and her tone was earnest.

Ah, I ran into it!

At that moment, Cook's brain went down for a second, and he had mixed feelings as he watched the two hands carefully hold hands.

Although I don't know exactly what happened to them yesterday, at least the two of them communicated their hearts and minds, and finally held the hand that I don't know how many years I owed.

However, it seems that there is still a difficult hurdle to overcome.

"No!" Sheryl suddenly shouted in a calm voice, and the frightened Elaine's shoulders trembled slightly, and after a few moments, she finally let go of Sheryl's hand weakly.

"Are you so unwilling?"

There was only one sentence left in the field, although the sound was very subtle, it was like the sound of sticky glass scraping, and the stinging Sheryl's heart contracted sharply, and his breathing became very chaotic.

However, Sherrill fell into silence again and said no more.

"Elaine, you just let Sheryl calm down first, do you think his heart will feel good when this happens?"

Such persecution will only make him more sad. ”

Seeing that the atmosphere was gradually becoming solemn again, Cook interjected on the side at the right time, easing the heavy hearts of the two.

Hearing this, Elaine's body trembled slightly, her eyes gradually became cold and indifferent, and she looked at Cook on the side, as if she was looking at a stranger who was an eyesore.

"After so many years, I finally made up my beloved's mind yesterday, how can I not be happy, right?"

However, before Elaine could speak, Cook grinned at her, pretending to be relaxed and casual.

Elaine gritted her teeth, but she was completely blocked and speechless, but a cold chill continued to emanate from her body, completely enveloping Cook.

"The dating thing, it's Cook's advice to me. Sherrill said in an abrupt whisper at this moment.

"Huh?" Elaine opened her mouth in surprise, her eyes trembled slightly, and the cold chill dissipated in an instant.

"Thank you...... Thank you. After a long time, Elaine bowed her head with a blushing face and let out a cute thank you that only a little girl can make a mistake.

"It's worth it to hear you say thank you. Cook lifted his shoulders lightly, not paying attention, "And what are you going to do now?"

"I know, I'm too anxious, I'll leave now!" Elaine puffed out her cheeks like a wayward princess, pouted, and then stood up and walked towards the rooftop gate with her slender legs.

"There's no need to rush people like this!" Before leaving, a grumbling muttering echoed from the corridor and reached the ears of the two of them.

Cook couldn't help but smile wryly and shook his head, then looked at Sheryl.

"How about it, can you walk in front of her like this in the future?"

Sherrill glanced at Elaine's beautiful back one last time, a mysterious edge crossed the depths of his eyes, and then his fists clenched slightly, and he exhaled a long breath of turbidity, and said with a smile: "Of course you can!"
