Chapter 35: Exercises
The sun pierced the morning mist, leaving a shimmering glow on the water, and the mangroves were full of puddles, which in the morning sun shone like golden fish scales among the low trees.
Mangroves are suitable for growing in semi-swampy areas, and the well-developed root system of this aquatic tree can even extend from the surface, winding horizontally on the water surface and wetlands, like a huge black python.
Makoto and three students jumped among the trees, occasionally someone accidentally jumped on the seemingly solid but rotten roots, of course, Makoto was able to jump up from the suddenly broken roots, but the three imps always couldn't react, let out a low exclamation, and the broken roots fell, leaving ripples on the water.
Stopping on a solid ground, Makoto took out the map provided by the office, although the map was very simple, and there were no eye-catching landmarks in this cookie-cutter mangrove group, but relying on the dual guidance of the map and the secret mark, they set off from the office in the morning and quickly arrived at the area where the ruins were.
"It's just ahead." Makoto glanced at the imps who were following behind him, and felt that they were in good shape, and it seemed that he had played a great role in their training, and compared to a few months ago, the imps' physical strength and physical skills had improved greatly.
Originally, Makoto was planning to use traps and illusions to give the students a drill in the ruins, but if you think about it, forget it, if you do that, the imps' desire to take risks will not be satisfied, and it is estimated that they will ask Makoto to make amends on the grounds that "the teacher deceived us".
Cut, it's troublesome to die when you think about it, and if you really want to practice, it's better to use the Sharingan Illusion directly.
Kai landed first, followed by Asma and Red, and the three of them looked ahead, and on the side of a large rock protruding from the water, there was a dark hole wide open, as if this was the destination of the mission.
The three of them are not from civilian families, and they have naturally heard of the exploration mission from the mouths of the elders, and they also know that the village will not hand over the ruins with real value and danger to them for a C-level mission, so when they see the destination, except for Kai, who is simple-minded, Hong and Asma did not show any happy expressions.
"Then, the No. 3 formation, the terrain of the ruins seems to be very complicated, be careful, don't fall behind." Cheng explained lightly, and was ready to jump into the cave first.
"Oh!" Kai raised his fist in response, and Hong and Asma were very discouraged to deal with it, barely maintaining the No. 3 formation, with Kai as the vanguard of the triangular formation, entering the cave, Makoto looked at their laziness in his eyes, and secretly frowned.
Sometimes, education is different from other things, and it is very difficult for children to correct some good habits later if they are not taught some good habits at the beginning.
Makoto doesn't remember where this idea and idea came from, perhaps due to the influence of his own early childhood education? In short, he has now changed his mind.
At the moment when the three students entered the dark cave from the bright outside world, taking advantage of their eyes' discomfort to the darkness, Makoto quietly sealed, separated into three shadow clones, and sneaked into the cave in advance.
"Let's go, explore the traces in the ruins, and follow me closely." Looking at the absent-minded expressions of the three students, Cheng said expressionlessly, but unfortunately the students were used to the teacher's appearance, and they didn't notice anything unusual.
So, of course, all three of them were destroyed.
At a fork in the road, Makoto gave the order to go their separate ways, and the three shadow clones who had already set up traps on the way to go through took advantage of the carelessness of the three and easily captured them alive.
Asma was the first to suffer, and when he went into the dark river at the bottom of the cave to explore, he was caught in a trap made of locks and chains similar to animal traps.
After being caught, he was so panicked that he extinguished the lighting device in his hand, presumably, the feeling of constantly struggling in the darkness without a trace of light, waiting for the last breath of oxygen in his chest to run out, must have made him unforgettable, and he would never dare to dive without an oxygen cylinder again.
The second is the stunned Akai, although he is very well prepared, and the action is not muddy and watery at all, but this kind of unscrupulous harm to him, in front of a stone wall with inscriptions, straight up to take out the paper rubbing Kai, an inconspicuous smoke device, from the stone crack spewed out a large amount of anesthetic gas.
Originally, with Kai's beastly instinct, this didn't mean anything to him, but Kai's instinctive reaction when he encountered the enemy at that time was to take a deep breath......
As a girl, Red is very careful, and she also follows the various normative actions of the teacher's education, so she was caught in the end.
She was caught because she was a girl - they had an unquenchable curiosity about the sparkling gems......
Looking at the three dejected and puffing imps in front of him, Makoto couldn't help laughing.
"Uh......h Makoto, you're so cunning! Red squatted on the ground, holding her head and crying.
Although Kai and Asma had just been reprimanded and didn't dare to say anything, the two boys also had an expression of approval on their faces.
Cheng reprimanded them fiercely, although it was because of carelessness, but this kind of psychological trap that is so simple that it goes straight and doesn't turn at all, as a ninja, it shouldn't be easily tricked anyway.
And these purely physical traps, if they hadn't panicked after being tricked, they should have been able to find out that they were actually capable of breaking free, which Asma did well at first - if he hadn't been affected by holding his breath in the water, he would have been able to open the chains on the second attempt.
"Okay, don't cry and lose your face," after tossing and turning, the time has already come to noon, and Cheng feels that he should give a sweet date after a slap: "Haven't you been looking forward to an exciting adventure?" I'm very careful when it comes to setting traps. ”
"Woo, Mr. Makoto, we don't believe you anymore!" The appearance of the red fake crying is very cute, and he also points a finger at Makoto.
"Eh, but I'm really granting your wishes." Honestly playing stupid and wanting to compensate you for a real adventure next time? There are no doors.
Red, of course, refuses to let it go, and Asma and Kai make a noise.
Sou.
While they were making noise, several figures moved from a distance, passing through the light mist peculiar to the mangrove forest at noon, and their figures turned from faint to clear.
Makoto's face became serious.
Asma said disdainfully: "Teacher Cheng, don't come to this set, if you do this again, we really ......"
As he spoke, Asma stopped talking, because he saw that their Shangnin teacher, who had always had few expressions, few words, and few actions, had a completely unfamiliar look on his face.
