Chapter 34: A Test of Courage
The first two days of the safari consisted of the group looking for ingredients for the day, and on the first day, Luanna had a farce of rolling down the hillside because she stubbornly refused to help Isuke.
But fortunately, Ifu flew down in time to catch her, and made a promise that Luanna would never say it in her rage, so Luana let Ifu go and began to look for ingredients.
Both of them have super strength, so they have gained a lot in the past two days, although they are awkward, but they have gradually developed a tacit understanding.
Day 3.
"Although it has been barely enough these days, don't think it's your credit, you can't hold me back today. Luanna crossed her waist when she saw Ifu.
"Okay, I see, it's all thanks to your night magic, and I'm a sack-carrying person. Seeing that Ifu didn't fight with herself, Luanna pursed her lips and muttered, "Hmm... You're not all without merit, but you can. β
Looking at Luana, Yifu suddenly remembered a word, tsundere, and I don't know if there is such a word in the Moon Domain.
Today's event is a cave test, and although it is called a test of courage, as an activity of colleges and universities, it will also test the skills of the students at the same time.
There are three different caves, and each group draws lots to decide which cave to go to.
The teacher holds a box with three-colored strips of paper in his hand.
Red is a cave that tests the ability to dodge, and the cave is full of thorns, flying beasts, etc., so pay attention to the thorns above your head, under your feet, and even on the walls while avoiding flying beasts.
Blue is a cave that tests its protection, and it will face powerful attacks in the cave, requiring excellent protection skills and destroying the attack mechanism in the cave while protecting itself.
In addition to encountering the test of red and blue notes, you will also encounter strong enemies at the end, and you need to work together to defeat them to clear the level.
Students who pass the red or blue test will receive 5-10 Su poetry credits based on their performance, while those who pass the black test will be directly exempted from the exam for this academic year, and those who fail the black test will also receive Su poetry credits based on their performance in the cave.
The first team of each test enters first, and after half a month, the second team enters.
Because the black test is high, and there are enemies that need to be defeated in the end, so the first team to enter first will also wait for the second team for half a month after arriving at the final test level, if the second team arrives within half a moon hour, you can attack together, if the second team fails to arrive within half a moon moment, the second team will directly lose the qualification for the final battle, and will be scored according to the previous level, and the final challenge will be completed by the first team alone.
If there is a third team and a fourth team, the rules of the first team and the second team will be followed.
The final number of teams in the Black Trials must be even, so if there are 1st and 3rd teams but no 2nd and 4th teams, the team drawn at the end will automatically become the black team.
Every team, especially the people who went to draw lots, was very nervous, and it was a nightmare if they got black.
Seeing that the people in front of her were drawn blue or red, Luana said to Ifu, "Although I can easily deal with black, if you draw black, it will cause me trouble, so I will draw the lot." β
Ifu had never participated in this kind of event, so he was very satisfied with the result, and since Luana was going to smoke, he asked her to go.
It was Luana's turn to draw lots, Luanna was a little nervous and put her hand in, she asked Chloe to draw in the past few years, in fact, she also wanted to feel the joy of the lottery, although there was only one teammate, but this feeling that the hope of the whole team was pinned on herself made her very satisfied.
"It's an exciting time! Finally, the first black team is born! They are - Luanna Case, Ruth, Efu Lopez!"
Ifu held his head and couldn't help but laugh as he looked at Luana's petrified figure on the spot.
Luanna is still very cute.
There are still three groups left, and the people in front of them are all drawn blue and red respectively, and the last group happens to be Kolo and Mochizuki.
Kolo gave up the lottery to Mochizuki, who lost a touch: blue.
However, because the only team that was drawn black was Luanna, Chloe and Mochizuki were automatically classified as the black team.
Seeing that Chloe was divided into the black team, Luana was in a good mood and pulled Ifu to wait for the test of courage to begin.
"The first team of the black team is ready to go. After hearing the teacher's instructions, Ifu and Luanna entered the cave.
After entering the cave, it was pitch black, and at first there was light from the outside world, but the deeper it went, the darker it became.
Ifu was in the darkness as in the day, without any obstacles.
But Luanna was unusual, clutching Ifu's sleeve when the light was completely gone.
The sound of ticking water echoed in the empty cavern, the sound of wings fluttering faintly, and Luana's hand holding Yifu trembled a little.
"Luana, you're a ghost of the night... You're not afraid of ghosts, are you?" asked Ifu in a low voice.
"Hello, Hello, Verbosity, Go your way!" Luanna was unforgiving, but her body was very honest, and now she hugged Yifu's arm tightly, and she couldn't separate it.
Soon the two of them reached the first level, which required many ways for other races to clear the level, lighting or fumbling, and in order to save time, Ifu lifted Luanna into the air.
"What are you doing, let me down!"
"It's good that you think of me as Kolo. β
"What! Chloe's shoulders are so much stronger than yours, you... Ahhββh
Ifu and Luanna dodge the flying beasts, sprinting where there are no thorns, walls, floors, walls, even ceilings...
Although Luana's initial roar attracted the attention of many flying beasts, Inofu's speed was so fast that he was able to shake them off.
After Yifu put Luanna down, Luanna puffed up and said, "I'm afraid of ghosts, but I'm not blind... I'm a night mage known as the Night Ghost! Don't underestimate me. β
"Okay, it's me who is not good, I must rely on you a lot in the next level. Ifu reassured Luanna as she straightened her hair.
Although Luanna said this on the surface, she was not angry with Yifu in her heart, this foreign queen was as big as a boy, and she would not quarrel with her face to face no matter how much she went too far.
That's right... Obviously, the other party is already the king's wife, why do you want to target her like this.
In silence and thinking, the two came to the second level.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Yi Fu was also a little unsure.
One by one, the boulders fell from the sky and disappeared after hitting the ground, and not only that, but countless silver needles were fired from the walls on both sides from time to time.
"Luana... Are you sure?" asked Ifu.
"Look at me. Luanna raised the short staff in her hand and chanted a spell in her mouth, and Ifu felt a breeze blow around them, and Ifu looked intently to see a faint black smoke enveloping the two of them.
"I'm confident in myself, but you have to be quick. β
Luana chanted as she watched Ifu move forward. Although the boulder on it will not hurt the two of them, it still has a certain impact force on the protective shield, and several boulders are smashed, as well as the interference of the silver needle next to it, if the two of them go together, Luanna will definitely not last long.
So at this moment, she didn't take it anymore, standing outside to assist Yifu.
Ifu jumped around on it, dodging boulders and flying needles as much as he could, and even if some couldn't, they were kept out by Luana's barrier.
Looking at Luanna, who was singing earnestly below, Ifu also relieved himself and began to look for the mechanism.
Ifu noticed that there was a small hole in the ceiling where the rocks had fallen, exactly the size of a flying needle.
Do you want to insert the flying needle into the ceiling? Ifu looked at the flying needle that disappeared when it hit the ground, and his heart was a little furious.
Ifu jumped down and landed beside Luana.
"Put away the barrier. Ifu said to her.
"You're crazy, no matter how good you are, you can't be foolproof in the face of these obstacles!" Luanna said incomprehensibly at Ifu's actions.
"Yes, but that's all we have at the moment. With that, Ifu stepped forward to attract the attention of the flying needle.
Ifu flew in the air, and the flying needle chased after Ifu, only to see her slap on the wall, and cast the wind elemental magic in the opposite direction of the flying needle, the flying needle swirled in the wind, and Ifu dodged the boulder while controlling the wind to plug the pinhole in the ceiling.
After a few attempts like this, I finally blocked all the holes.
Although the boulder no longer falls, the flying needle still continues to attack.
"Come behind me!" Lua called out to Ifu and began to chant a spell, Ifu leaped up behind Luana, and a second before the flying needle attacked, Ifu felt the breeze again,
Immediately after, the ferocious flying needle just now fell to the ground like cotton, and disappeared without a trace.
"You were out of the limelight just now, so let me protect you now. Luana smiled at Yifu, and under the protection of the barrier, the two of them passed the second level.
On the way to the final level, they heard a voice from inside the cave: The first team of the black team has completed the first two levels of the trial, please take a break, and the second team still has half a moon and a quarter of time, please join the first team within the specified time.
"Didn't we just go too fast... Chlo, theyβ" Luana said worriedly, clasping her hands in front of her chest.
"Don't you believe him?" asked Ifu.
"It's not that I don't believe it, but didn't you see the power of those levels just now, and the first level was completely passed by your advantage... Collo: "Thinking of this, Luana was a little anxious.
"If you believe him, then all we have to do at this moment is to wait for them, waiting to face the final level together, since I can pass the level with an advantage, why don't Kolo and them have their own advantages?"
Luanna was speechless for a moment, remembering how many times Chloe had asked, "Why do you always think I can't do it?"
Obviously, she only cares about him...
"I seem to know why Chloe likes you. Luanna muttered to herself.
