(4) Covenant War
Late at night, it's quiet.
The bitter cold wind raged like a blade. The trunk of the tree shivered coldly, shaking off the yellow leaves on the ground. It was so dark that I couldn't even find a shining star. The glass is slowly wrapped in a white veil, which is the reason for the cooling.
On the dark street corner, there are street lamps standing at the entrances and exits, which seem to be because the lines are a little old, and the lights are flickering and flickering, but they create a terrifying atmosphere. And in this corner is the fertile ground for darkness to thrive.
Playing freely in the small space, twisting into a ball, knowing that the space is full, the dirty hand will reach out to the bright place, coveting the vast land outside.
A masked man stood on the eaves of the roof of a building, looking down at the man walking alone on the street below. "The first goal..."
"Stunned!"
The man hadn't reacted yet, he just felt like he couldn't exert his strength, not even the simplest of luck, and a cold light passed through his neck. The masked man was already standing behind him, his eyes flashing with a terrifying red light, and the man's body fell down at once. The masked man removed the tattoo from his waist. "This one by one, when will you get it.....
At this time, his eyes were even brighter, flickering and dimming.
"And so it was. There is an edict from the old man, it seems that this matter is not as simple as reported in the paper..."The masked man suddenly sneered. "It's definitely not just a ghost insider.." The masked man said secretly in his heart.
Raising his right hand, he put the man's eyes under his eyes and left the street. By the time the staff arrived, the sky was slightly white.
...
The light from the blinds is split into ten and scattered throughout the room. Ji Ran pulled out the hand that was pillowing his head and blocked it in front of him. It was the most restful sleep he had in so many days, and as soon as he sat up, the doorbell rang.
"Gay, why are you here?"
"What? I'm not welcome!" said Gay, leaning forward, his pink face and a flushed smile looking unusually cute. With her hands behind her back, she seemed a little shy when her right foot touched the ground.
"Oh. Come in."
"Really?"
"Of course. β
"It's great, I really haven't seen what a boy looks like in a room where he lives alone. I'm curious about how you decorate the room," Ghai said, lowering his head and sticking out his tongue.
"Actually, there is nothing, and that's it. You sit down first, I'll just get up and wash up first."
"Good. Go ahead, I'll see for myself."
The dΓ©cor of the room can be said to be very simple, just a clean bed, almost pure white room has a tranquil atmosphere, the soft sunlight just shines down, and all the objects become lazy and comfortable. "Looks like I love cleanliness. β
Ji Ran quickly washed up and changed into clothes. "I'm fine, I think there's still enough time. Let's go out and have breakfast together. β
"Okay. β
After the two of them had breakfast, they entered the classroom almost ringing the bell.
It's been a week since the celebration, and Gay has been placed in the same class as Ji Ran and Xi, because this time the class is selected from top to bottom based on the ranking of the assessment results.
And the head teacher of this elite class is precisely the examiner of the audit - Tsushima.
Although people look serious, they are still quite humane.
After the bell rings...
At this time, Tsushima walked in, followed by a woman, wearing a pair of silver-rimmed glasses, her pure purple pupils made her eyes full of charm, and her figure was not tall but relatively plump. "It's all here."
β....β
"Okay, let's introduce you. The one next to me is a designer of combat equipment at the school - Hirohama Mi. You wait to write down your abilities and characteristics on paper, and she will design the equipment for everyone. β
"Teacher"
"Say"
"Can I ask for some more, then?"
Yuhama Mei smiled slightly, "Of course you can." The most important thing in my job is your satisfaction. I'm also meticulous about my work."
The basin under the stage laughed evilly, and whispered a few words to Rukawatai on the side, "Hey." Why not naked. Such a good figure" Yu often cast a lewd gaze on the black-haired beauty on the stage. "Wow. If only you could, such a woman. My boyfriend doesn't have to sleep at night..."
"That desire must be strong!"
Nan Qi, who was sitting behind the two, couldn't listen to it, "It's too obscene!"
After about thirty minutes, each student handed in their drawings and information, and Yuhama Mei looked at it and nodded, "Not bad." Everyone is very imaginative, and it looks like I'm going to have to work harder. I'll go first on the island!"
"Kojima?"
"Woo~~" The audience burst into an uproar.
Tsushima desperately raised his hand and waved to signal quiet. "What are you yelling about!"
"Xiao Daojima, what is today's training program?" Yu Chang suddenly learned the sound of the girl's speech. Tsushima held his head with his hand, eager to find a hole in the ground to get into. "Hamami, you did it on purpose. β
"Teacher, what is the relationship between you and Ms. Yuhamame!"
"The little kid asks something. It's just good friends."
Gay also coaxed, "But I've heard that lovers start as good friends." β
There was a loud shout from the audience.
Tsushima had no choice but to shake his head. "You. β
At meal time after class, the students in each classroom left in a very orderly manner, so it was not crowded on the way to the cafeteria. said it was a canteen, but in fact, it was only after I arrived that I found out that it was clearly a hotel specification.
There are about three floors but they are very spacious, and the extension of the walls from the bottom to the third floor is connected by a corridor in a spiral shape, and the upper side is capped with glass, so that you can avoid the rain and enjoy the rain.
There are many types of food on the third floor, and the two chose the second floor, which can be said to be the least number of people here. There are two robots standing at the entrance of the hall on the floor, cleaning anytime and anywhere, and a huge carpet at the door, as long as you walk up, the silt on the soles of your shoes will be absorbed away. Therefore, the floor on every floor is as clean as snow.
Seating here is usually for 6 people per table. The two found the only table for two and sat down. "It's such a good environment, and my appetite has improved. β
In a moment, two boys and a girl walked over. "Are you Ji Ran?"
"Uh.... It's me."
"Great. I'm looking for you everywhere!"
"Looking for me?" Ji Ran pointed to himself with some confusion.
"Yes. I'd like to try it out with you... Because I heard that you are also a martial artist. β
Ji Ran looked at these three people, the man led by him was very tall, almost 193 in height, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, as if he had the strength to carry the top like the overlord of Chu, with a stubble on his face and a flat head. The boy next to him looks much thinner, with green hair and heavy dark circles, but his appearance is a little chic, but he has the appearance of a beautiful man.
The girl behind her is a little different from the two, giving people a different sense of oppression, and she doesn't say a word. Holding your hands on your chest, as if you look down on everything around you, your cold eyes seem to want to stab you with an ice blade. I couldn't help but shake my body.
"This..."
"This martial artist is rarely seen in the academy, and since I know that you are also a martial artist like me, I feel an inexplicable sense of excitement. I beg your pardon if I am reckless in saying that. But I'd like to invite you to play with me, in two weeks' time... Is that okay?"
"Absolutely. I'm also very excited to know that you are a martial artist!" Ji Ran shook his hand, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
"Ji Ran!" Ghai patted him.
Ji Ran looked back and smiled. "It's fine. Don't worry."
The tall man burst out laughing. "Good. My name is Chifeng, this is Qingyi, and the girl over there is Yan Bing, no matter what, I have made up your friend. β
"Okay. That's it!"
After the three of them left, Jia Yi grabbed Ji Ran's ear, "Disobedient, right?
"Oops. Why are you like my mother? I'll be careful."
"It's better to be like this"
was complaining about Ji Ran's recklessness, and the appearance of a figure made Gay shake his senses. "Hi, Gay. β
β.... Oh," Ghai struggled to turn his expression into a smile.
"Yo, long time no see, I've found a boyfriend...."
"Oh, you misunderstood. We're just friends, but you, this is your boyfriend," Gay smiled stiffly, and at the same time glanced at the owner of the obnoxious voice, there was a boy standing next to him, if he guessed correctly, it should be her boyfriend, but it was indeed not particularly outstanding in appearance, and Gay didn't think it was anything.
"Giggles, yes. It's you... It's a little worse than me, but you'll have to find a better oneβ" The girl giggled, her laughter shrill and piercing. "Shh
The other party's words are indeed greetings from the sentence, but from the tone of the words, it is simply prickly, and the pretentiousness is really a bit disgusting. If I had a needle and thread in my hand at the time, I would have wanted to sew her mouth shut.
"This person's voice is so disgusting" After the two people left, Ji Ran's body couldn't help but shiver a little.
"I think so too," said Gay, who shook a few times.
.....
The afternoon belonged to the students' ability course, and after the two had a meal, they rested for a while, and arrived at the Ξ² training hall at about half past one o'clock in the afternoon. This training hall was built to better adapt the students to combat in various environments.
The exterior appears to be a semi-arc-shaped building, while the interior is intricately divided into many areas. For example, snow, grassland, desert, torrential rain, floods, typhoons and other environments.
"It's spectacular, isn't it?"
"Today, we won't be practicing separately. I'm going to find out the shortcomings of your abilities. As long as the shortcomings are found, there is room for improvement in ability. β
"Then teacher, how to test!"
"It's simple. You can see this stone wall in front of you. All around, one by one, they came to me in turn. β
"Tin, you come first. β
Tsushima pointed to the tall stone wall more than ten meters in front of him, "smash it"
Si paused for a moment, and his hands turned into a ball of electricity, making a crackling sound. As soon as his hands were folded and thrown forward, more than a dozen electric currents were divided, like arrows off the bow, and the sharp arrows smashed the stone wall one by one.
"It's too tough. This ability has destroyed more than a dozen fans!"
Tsushima shook his head, "Failure!"
"What?"
"Tin. Your abilities are indeed very strong, but have you taken into account the real possibility of fighting? Your attacks have no single direction at all, they are all group attacks, and if the enemy is surrounded by your teammates, won't it affect them?"
Tin looked at his hand and then at the sand pile ahead. "Indeed"
"Next"
"Nan Qi"
"Your ability is fire, right?"
"Yes"
"Good. Come closer, and blast the stone wall with all your might."
Nan Qi did as she was told, walked to the stone wall, took a deep breath, and worked with her hands. Suddenly, a flame behind him seemed to be given life, like a giant tiger pushing the stone wall with its palms.
"Continue"
Gradually, the temperature around me began to rise, and the color of the stone walls began to burn red. A lot of sweat broke out on Nan Qi's forehead, and there was a numbness in his hands. Nan Qi strengthened the flames again, but the stone wall still did not react, but the surface began to fall off in a small area. It didn't take long for Nan Qi to sit on the ground exhausted.
In this way, Tsushima guided the trainees one by one, pointing out the weaknesses of almost everyone. "Gay, your ability is very strong, but your qi can't withstand such a large consumption, so pay attention to the timing every time you use it, and don't use wasted qi to do blind attacks at will.
"Iron toughness, the strength of your hardened body is not enough, and the hardened movement has become completely cumbersome, if you can't move your position flexibly in battle, you will be a living target"
"Akimi, for the same reason. The consumption is too large, and the use of gas must be controlled."
Soon, three hours passed.
Tsushima tirelessly teaches each student so that they can understand the characteristics and shortcomings of their abilities. In order to develop the ability to the extreme. After all, everyone's ability will have at least one or more restraint situations, as long as the ability is used to the extreme, even restraint can go against the current.
Ji Ran thought carefully about every word of Tsushima, he learned a lot of things today, but if he had to learn from the three people he met in the cafeteria, there might still be a certain gap in ability.
"Everyone. Everyone has worked hard today, so let me make an announcement first. Tsushima looked at the phone screen to see if everyone was there, and "In two months, we're going to have a social experience." β
"What's that, Sensei"
"That's right, Kojima, what is that!" Yu Chang said in a snort again.
"You want to die, don't you!" Tsushima didn't know when he walked behind Suitsune, his eyes as if they were about to tear him apart.
"Don't dare. β
"It's about participating in the work of a social office. What sweeping the floor, sending couriers, etc."
"Ahh
"Didn't the office solve the case!"
"It also depends on what type of firm it is, so let's start to act slowly, and when it comes to the temporary moment, if you don't find it, but someone else just does, you can be regarded as a big step behind them!
Oh, and there's. It seems like two weeks to experience it. β
"Then I must go to the beauty office," he said, biting his lower lip and pursing his mouth into a triangle, like a rabbit's three-petal mouth. His eyes narrowed, as if he was already imagining.
"Can't you be a little ideal?" Nan Qi patted his head.
"Beauty is what I'm after. βγ
Tin quietly left the crowd and walked alone into the backyard of the academy, where there was a garden with a pool of clear water. He recalled Tsushima's instructions and couldn't help but clench his fists. "It seems that this is a great opportunity to distance yourself from them! I must find a good office as soon as possible..."
