Chapter 12: Reunion
A year later.
Today is the day when the bear team meets again, so early in the morning, Yanhe came to the door of the library of St. Hildo College, waiting to meet his teammates again. It's funny to say that their team disbanded early just five minutes after it was formed, and they went back to their respective homes with no sense of team building at all.
A year ago, after experiencing the horror of the soul cup in the classroom, the bear team was born, although it has not yet been reported to the Soul Eater Association, but it has been established verbally. It's just that Yanhe, as the captain, is almost a novice in combat, so the other two team members, Yaya and Alston, decided to set aside a year of cultivation time to give the three of them a chance to improve together. During this year, Yaya and Alston followed the teachings of the headmaster and the dean of teachings to improve themselves, and Yanhe was not idle, following Nidegoff, the strongest assassination venerable in the last century, spent three months constantly exercising his physical fitness and finally got his own sword.
It's finally time to meet again.
Yanhe always thinks of the battle in the classroom a year ago, it was their first cooperation, and he couldn't fight at that time, he could only rely on his sacrificial eyes to command everyone to do those things, it was a battle with regrets. But Shibei was impressed, and he was confident that he would not let Alston look down on him this time.
Yaya was the second to arrive.
This year, she has been in retreat for a year. She gave Ray Hildo the founding letter of the bear team, but she didn't ask him to immediately report it to the Soul Eater Association, which was also Julidia's opinion. After learning about the performance of the three in the classroom, Julidia understood the difference in strength between the three at that time, and if she hastily reported it to the Soul Eater Association, she was afraid that it would only cause casualties due to being assigned a task too early.
The Soul Eater Association is the core of the Soul Eater, with a management department responsible for managing the Soul Eater, an engineering department responsible for building equipment, and a support department responsible for auxiliary, which is an all-round and multi-functional association. Among them, because most of the tasks of the Soul Eater need to be completed in a team, the management department is also responsible for the team level. Once registered, the squad will be assigned a mission by the Guild to increase the level of individual Soul Eaters in the squad through missions. There aren't many people like Yaya who can achieve the gold level alone, and most of them can only be done by chanters of group attacks, and soul eaters like support classes are completely unable to achieve such an achievement, and once they encounter a task that requires the removal of a large number of soul cups, it still takes a team to complete it safely.
In order to avoid being injured prematurely or dying a young age due to the team's mission a year ago, Yaya and Julidia agree that the report to the team should be postponed until a year later. And in order to prevent the team from receiving tasks that do not meet their abilities too early because of the high level of the night arrow, the night arrow has basically been practicing in retreat this year, and has not taken a single task.
The retreat is not a whole year, but a whole year of searching for ancient texts, reciting the mantras of the reciters, and trying to create their own mantras. This year, she had a few days of spiritual power loss almost every month, because the loss of spiritual power from her self-created mantra was too great. Providing all the spiritual power to make a deal with the heavens at one time can be imagined afterwards. Yaya also knew that this was not advisable, and it was reasonable that her spiritual power was enough to support her to use any kind of powerful spell before she created her own spell and would not collapse afterwards, and it was really not in line with Yaya's previous philosophy that such a situation would occur - Yaya had never thought that the chanter was a character who could not survive the battle without the squad, but the reality was telling her that the spell she created was to fight with all her might, and its power may be incomparable to the spell she used before.
This spell was created a month ago, and after using it once, Yaya took a whole month off to adjust himself, it was a spell of my life, consuming his spiritual power while also costing his own life, Yaya decided not to use it lightly. She named the mantra: "Nebula." ”。 Strong enough to make the nebula fall.
Yaya decided not to tell the members of the team about this for the time being, except for Ray and Julidia, no one had ever seen Nebulafall's spell casting, and naturally no one knew its power. The experiment was conducted in the experimental area of St. Hildo, and Ray Hildo opened a small stove and asked the experimental area to provide a large number of cups of souls to conduct the experiment, citing his tactics of communicating with the dean. In a closed room, the walls around are all isolated materials with spiritual power to prevent the leakage of the cup, and the hierarchical group of cup-in-the-souls is no less than the year-end cleaning that Yaya had done before, not because of the numerical advantage, but because there were actually three red cup-up souls among them!
Red Cup Souls are rare to see in normal times, and are usually only seen during war, and the strength of Red Cup Souls can completely compete with an entire team of Soul Eaters, and it is difficult to say who will win or lose. Generally speaking, the red cup soul in a normal period must have existed for decades or even more than a hundred years, and it has self-awareness, not to mention a variety of other abilities, which is difficult to capture alive. Therefore, these red cup souls in the laboratory are all artificially cultivated test subjects, gathering cup souls of the same level together and making them devour each other to produce new high-level cup souls.
A year ago, the cup soul leak incident was probably in the process of fusion experiments, the purple cup soul concealed its true core color, causing the experimenters to install the wrong cage and give it a chance to leak.
After eleven months of repeated training and pondering, Yaya was confident that the experiment would be a success. In fact, when she condensed her spiritual power and handed over her spiritual power and lifespan to the heavens in the form of sacrifice, Ray and Julidia who were present both felt an unprecedented powerful spiritual pressure, which was not at all the strength that an eighteen-year-old girl should have, but both of them tacitly knew that she was a night arrow and deserved such strength.
The powerful spiritual pressure is like a wall of qi, oppressing all the cup souls present from top to bottom, and since the three people present are not easily possessed existences, most of the cup souls' abilities cannot be used. Nebula Fall is a domineering skill, and according to Nightyaya's calculations, even if the cup soul has been possessed by someone, Nebula Fall will only damage the cup soul and not even people.
"Curse, my life, starfall. ”
Night Arrow concentrated on making a deal with the heavens, and the result was that after casting the spell, Night Arrow fainted directly on the spot, and the cup soul in the laboratory was almost destroyed in an instant, and no one saw what happened, as if some black hole instantly sucked all the cup souls into it, and only the naked eye could not see the moment of passage, and all the cup souls disappeared, even the red cup souls were all gone.
"You've created a great spell. Ray Hildo, who witnessed the whole process, said a little stunned. Although he was a Venerable Being, he had never seen such a domineering spell, and Yaya had undoubtedly created a legend, but the side effects of this legend were too great, and when he said this, Yaya had already fainted to the ground.
The third one was Alston.
He did not stay at St. Hildo's College this year, but chose to stay in the Hildo family's home in the United States, which belonged to Hildo's territory after all. Unlike Yaya, Alston didn't care that his high level would bring high-level tasks to the team, and he only wanted to keep improving his abilities and increase his level as Soul Eater. In the battle in the classroom a year ago, he Alston was the only one who couldn't see that the cup was different, which made him extremely unhappy, but at the same time, he realized his own shortcomings. He is not hostile to Yayaya, just because he exists for Yayaya. But for Yanhe, he seems to regard Yanhe as a competitor in his heart. A year ago, a freshman who didn't even have a knife could even see the strangeness of the cup soul like Yaya, Alston didn't think it was a buff that sacrificed the eyes, he only thought that it was the talent of Yanhe, and there was a difference in talent, and he could only make up for it with the efforts of the day after tomorrow, so this year, he has been using the resources of the Hildo family to increase the amount of training for himself, go to the Soul Eater Association to receive tasks, kill the cup soul, and improve the level.
As soon as Alston arrives at the library, he sees Yaya talking and laughing with Yan - he thinks it's a joke, but he just doesn't look happy anyway.
In fact, it was Yaya who released a small "Thunderbolt" and smashed it at Yanhe's feet in order to greet him, causing Yanhe to jump three feet high, which made Yaya laugh.
"Are you now able to use the power of the incantation to come and go freely?" Yan He still covered his head, but his tone was very pleased.
"It's a skill I've had for a long time. Alston laughed at Nightya.
Perhaps Alston's aura was sensed by the two, and they both looked back at him at the same time, and then smiled together "You're finally here".
Alston just nodded, although he was Ray Hildo's own son, he was far less cheeky than his father in terms of how he behaved in the world.
"You can sense me, it seems that your kid has grown a lot this year. Alston raised his eyebrows and said, he deliberately restrained his breath when he came, and he must not have felt it in the past, and he can synchronize with the night arrow, and he must have experienced a lot of tempering in this year.
Alston couldn't imagine how much it had to go into order to develop such agility.
From the beginning, he was just chased by the boulder, and after he was able to run over the boulder, he was tied to a sandbag to be chased by the boulder, doing parkour-like exercises, strengthening his muscles, and learning to use spiritual power to assist him to jump higher, in order to be able to train his perception ability, Yan He had released his spiritual power continuously for a month, every minute and every second, and the consumption of spiritual power can be imagined. And under such a consumption of spiritual power, he still has to train his own muscles, and that month is simply a bitter life.
But in any case, the ending was good, and Alston praised him, and his words and hearts were very useful.
"Everyone is here, then our bear team is officially unblocked. Yaya said, pulling Alston and Yanhe close to her, "Captain, are you going to start the first mission?" ”
Yaya looked at Yanhe, her eyes widened and she asked seriously.
Yan He then remembered that he was still the captain of this team, but Alston didn't agree to come at that time, so Yan He turned his head to look at Alston again, and the three of them widened their eyes.
"Don't look at me, aren't you captain?" Alston said, turning his head.
Yan He nodded and said to Yaya: "I don't know the specific plot either, but since the team has been established, let's go on a mission." ”
Out of nowhere, Yaya pulled out a tablet with the information of their bear team, and Yaya sent this information to the Soul Eater Association under the watchful eyes of the two, implying that their bear team had become an official team.
"Yanhe, you still have to work hard," Yaya patted Yanhe on the shoulder: "We have one silver and one gold, but you are still bronze." ”
"Ahhh
Principal's Office.
Niedergoff can't remember how many years it took him to step into this room again, but the furnishings inside are as low-key and simple as ever...... Because the world is a reincarnation, the four major families of the five major families in the creation war are using the memory of reincarnation to collect wealth for themselves in order to strengthen the family, they know everything compared to the people in the initial period of world reincarnation advanced knowledge, concepts, and even technology, so the four major families in all fields of the world today are basically out of dominance or leadership, such as the Hildo family in the United States NASA has a strong force.
Niedegov looked at the man sitting behind the long table and the woman standing next to the man holding a document, although they were all of the Venerable rank, he still saluted the two of them out of the difference in rank.
"No need to be polite, Niedegoff. Ray was very polite to Niedegoff, who never felt that Niedegoff was a problem teacher, even though Julidia had the exact opposite attitude to him in this regard. Lei smiled gently as always: "It's been a year, you will be peaceful, how are the descendants of our excellent Yan family?"
"It's an excellent sacrificial eye. Niedegev's words were very merciless, although Ray had kind words for him, but Niedegev knew that the man in front of him was always a smiling tiger, and all he cared about was profit. Besides, it was the man in front of him who took away Yaya, which made him feel an indescribable disgust.
Yaya had already told Niedgeoff about the fact that Yaya was still in school, and he knew that Yaya had been teaching Ray and Julidia all these years, but Niedgev subconsciously thought that there was definitely a conspiracy in this, just because among the people who taught Yaya was the current principal of St. Hildo's College, Ray Hildo.
As a brave man, a brave man who was supposed to serve the chanter wholeheartedly, actually let the chanter lose his life in the upgrade mission, and the chanter was also the eldest daughter of another big family, the Zishu family, which caused a lot of turmoil in the soul eater world at that time, and the relationship between the two families was also embarrassing for a while, and even became enemies for a while. The Hildo family claims that it was just an accident, that it was Ray, who was the brave, who was killing the enemy, and that Julidia, who was the guardian, was struggling to resist, and that it was a surprise accident that the soul attacked and took the life of the chanter. But the truth will never be known, no matter how much trouble the Zishu family makes in the association, in Niedegev's opinion, Julidia and Lei Xin are in collusion, and the truth will never see the day.
Niedegoff has his own thoughts, although the new generation of soul eaters don't know much, especially those who don't have the background of the four major families, and very few people know about it, that's why Lei, the headmaster, sits so steadily. However, Niedegoff believes that the situation at that time was a team composed of two families, Ray and Julidia were alumni of the same alumni, and it was strange to form a team with people from other schools, and the other party was also from another big family, and Julidia and Ray were very likely to take this opportunity to get rid of the heirs of the Zishu family. After all, the patriarch of the Zishu family is very old, and Zishu Ruirui is the only heir selected at that time, who knows what will happen to the leaderless Zishu family when the current head of the family drives the crane west.
I think this way, because Nidgev was favored by the Zishu family in Zishu's Qingfu Academy, and Zishu was kind to him, so he naturally stood on the side of the Zishu family, so it was inevitable that he would be prejudiced against Ray and Julidia, and the degree of prejudice was not the same. In his opinion, Julidia couldn't think of this idea, only Ray, who had been trained as an heir since he was a child and learned a lot of thick black science, could only think of it. Therefore, the prejudice against Ray is much greater.
Ray had always been able to sense Nidegoff's displeasure with him, and knew what was going on, but Ray never picked it out, after all, it didn't benefit anyone if it was broken. Hearing Nidegoff say that peace was just a sacrifice in his eyes, Ray laughed.
"Yes, how have you cultivated our best sacrificial eyes?"
Nidegoff didn't expect Ray to confess so heartily, and he was a little stunned for a while, but he quickly reacted and coughed dryly: "Yanhe's progress is very fast, and after he has undergone physical training, he can now kill the enemy with a knife." ”
"That's good, after all, their first mission has already come. Ray gestured, and Julidia silently handed the paper to Niedergev before returning to her original position. Niedegoff opened the file, only to see that it was silver, and he frowned.
"Shouldn't they start at the bronze level?" asked Nidegoff.
Ray shook his head: "Two of the three are not bronze ranks, so the minimum level of the quest is silver. ”
Niedegov glanced at the content of the mission, and his brows tightened, this case is complicated and weird, I am afraid that for Yan He, it is not a simple first mission.
