"Dragon Ball?" Cook repeated in a whisper with a slight twinkle in his eyes.

At this moment, the surrounding scene became chaotic and blurred again, and the world seemed to be remade again, and the blue-white crystal brilliance appeared again, with Cook as the center, it spread to the surrounding sky, and a new world was suddenly formed.

It was still in a dense jungle, but the figures of the three people before had disappeared, and in front of Cook was replaced by a towering glazed jade tower, the whole body of the jade tower was crystal clear, and the pale cyan jade that flowed up and down the body gave people a sense of perfection.

Cook looked intently and found that the pale cyan luster circulating in the tower was constantly swimming towards the top of the jade pagoda, really like a swimming dragon, constantly circling and flowing in the jade pagoda.

"This is Longtai?" Cook couldn't help but sigh a little that the empire was coming with a big deal, and it was a bit too extravagant to spend so much glass crystal to forge such a jade pagoda in the jungle.

"That's right, this is the venue for the finals, Longtai. Afra said in a very flat tone, "At the very top, there is the Dragon Ball that you need to fight for. ”

Hearing this, Cook couldn't help but look up, but regrettably found that the height of this jade pagoda was too high, and the naked eye could not see its top at all.

"It's still not right, if it's just to compete for the Dragon Balls, then as long as the other teams are still in the jungle, they can eliminate the other teams as much as possible, and in the end, just leave only one team on the Dragon Stage?" Cook was puzzled at one point.

"That's not allowed, because there are rules for the tournament. Afra vetoed it directly and continued, "The specific rules will naturally be understood when you participate in the competition. ”

"And, remember, you have to keep your teammates. Afra's eyes were unusually serious, and Cook's heart tightened inexplicably.

The headmaster on the side suddenly clapped his hands, drawing Cook's attention back to it.

"All in all, this is where the tournament takes place, and you can simply understand that you can first survive in the jungle for a while, and then go to the dragon platform to compete for the dragon balls. As the Headmaster said this, the dense forest around them was once again gradually eroded by the strange silver streamer, and in its place, a blue-white crystal light was following closely behind, quickly converging.

The original dense jungle gradually disappeared, and the buildings of Emperor Star High School appeared around them like a projection, and then became more and more solid.

It was no longer the soft dirt that had been stepping on their feet, but a thin soft blanket, the same blanket laid out in the principal's office, and they were back in this office again.

The twelve strange numbers that fluttered in the sky returned to the headmaster's wrist again, turning into strange black and white lines, and remained silent in the irregular circular pattern, motionless.

"Well, do you know a lot now?" asked the headmaster with a smile.

"Hmm...... Although there are still many doubts, I do understand a lot about the overall situation of the competition. Cook thought for a moment and replied.

"Finally, principal, I have one more question. Cook suddenly looked up at the headmaster.

The principal smiled slightly, stretched out his right hand in front of him, and made a "please" gesture.

"Since you can see the scene of the past, can you see the scene of the future?" asked Cook in a deep voice as he looked at the headmaster with a deep voice.

"yes, that's a question that I'm asked all the time. The headmaster was not at all surprised by Cook's question, but rather looked commonplace.

Let's put it this way, we can't really see the future in the present, what we can see is only a possibility for the future, and then take action to make this possibility continue to expand. ”

"Wait a minute, I haven't understood it yet......" Cook danced a little bewildered, and his wide-eyed stare looked a little funny.

"Haha, you don't need to panic, for non-temporal abilities, it is indeed a little difficult to understand this, I will try to make it as simple and easy to understand. ”

"All time can be roughly divided into past, present and future, among which our past and present have been determined, and only the future is difficult to capture. ”

"All timelines, in fact, can be seen as fragments of possibility, scattered in the special dimensions of time and space, constantly intersecting and converging with each other, condensing into long lines, which are condensed from the fragments of past and future possibilities. ”

After that, the lines continue to extend backwards, and if they want to continue to extend, they must connect the fragments of possibility that represent the future, turning them into the present and the past. ”

"Got it?"

The headmaster, after carefully explaining it to Cook, suddenly asked softly with a smile on his face and full of kindness.

Cook first shook his head like a rattle, then as if he had suddenly woken up from a dream, and then looked at the headmaster fixedly, and nodded violently, so that people couldn't tell whether he understood or not.

"It's normal for this to happen, there are countless contradictory truth paradoxes in the world, especially abstract concepts like time, and there are so many contradictions in them that it's normal for you to not understand them. The headmaster sighed slightly, comforting Cook, who was still confused.

"In other words, you've already used your ability to see that I'm going to show up in this office like I am now and represent Emperor Star High School, right?" asked Cook with a frown, rather unreserved.

"Yes! That's it!" Unexpectedly, after hearing Cook's question, the headmaster slapped the table quite excitedly, slammed away from his seat, quickly strode in front of Cook, grabbed Cook's shoulders tightly, and said in a loud voice full of excitement.

"You know time very well! That's how I saw you before, so I asked Afra, who is a teacher of Highlando, to deal with this matter!"

"To be honest, if it weren't for the presence of Hylando, I would still be worried about how I would have found you!"

"I'm relieved to have you to compete!"

The headmaster said a lot of excitedly, shaking Cook's shoulders violently, making Cook a little dizzy.

"What are you doing all the rage, what if you scare people away?" Afra interjected at the right time, separating Cook from the headmaster, and glanced at the headmaster angrily.

"Ahaha, this can't be helped, no matter who it used to be, after hearing the theory just now, they were stunned and didn't understand anything, but now it's rare to meet someone who understands a little, and it's inevitable to be excited. After being pushed away by Afra, the principal also noticed the gaffe just now, and said with some embarrassment.

"Well, forget it, anyway, all the goals have been achieved, so I'll send the two of them back first. Afra gave the principal one last time, nudging Hylando's back and heading out the door.

Seeing this, Cook immediately followed, and the principal behind him showed a regretful expression, and sat back in his chair with some disappointment.

As soon as Cook and his party walked out of the principal's office, they saw Mu Lanya holding his head in his hands at this time, curled up in a corner in horror, and whispering some inexplicable words in his mouth, as if he had seen some terrifying ominous existence, and his weak appearance was very pitiful.

"Oh, yes, how did you forget her. Afra muttered in a quiet, expressionless voice, apparently that she had completely forgotten that Mulanya was still outside the door.

I guess I was scared by the headmaster's ability...... Cook narrowed his eyes sympathetically, and secretly slandered himself in his heart.

After all, the scene at that time was as if the end was coming, and if it weren't for Cook's early warning from the principal, it probably wouldn't be much better.

……

Half an hour later, Cook and Highlandore were standing at the door of Emperor Star High School, as if waiting for something.

As for Mu Lanya, he was already alone in a panic and didn't know where to go, and after Cook and they explained everything to Mu Lanya at that time, they didn't know why, they just quickly fled with a red face.

After a while, a small yellow car slowly drove up, stopping in front of Cook and Highland, the window slowly rolled down, and Afra poked her head out of it, signaling Cook and Highlander to get into the car quickly.

Highlander didn't feel anything, so she just got into the car, but Cook was stunned for a while, and then slowly got into the car with some hesitation, and his cautious appearance was almost like he was going to get into a black car.

It's not that he's cautious, it's just that Cook can't believe that Afra can drive. After all, she is such a small body, whether she can step on the accelerator, whether she can see the outside, whether she can turn the steering wheel, you still need to think about it.

So, Cook sat upright in the parking space, but he straightened up slightly, poked his neck out as much as he could, and glanced towards Afra's feet.

"Don't look at it, I can step on the gas. Afra's indifferent words suddenly came, causing Cook's long neck, which had been stretched out, to shrink back like a turtle.

Hylando couldn't help but laugh out loud on the side, his right hand on Cook's shoulder, and the tears in the corners of his eyes were already slightly revealed.

"The teacher didn't start like this, she used to be a top royal sister with a very hot body. ”

"Sister Lan, are you kidding me?" Hearing this, Cook's face was full of question marks, and he turned his gaze to Afra again in disbelief.

"Sister, when did I lie to you, the reason why the teacher is like this is because of the failure of the advancement at that time. ”

"What?" Hearing this, Cook's hair exploded all over his body, and as if a barb had been inserted in his buttocks, he suddenly jumped up from his seat and slammed into the car board, and the whole car shook slightly by him.
