Chapter 22: The Black Forest (I)
After the squad to participate in the competition is formed, our squad members will temporarily leave the class and go out to train alone.
There are only ten A-level students in the school, and counting me, a fake "A-class" student, there are four in our class. There are four A-level students who are too young and are still in fourth grade to meet the 17-year-old standard. The other two students who meet the criteria are in sixth grade. There was no suspense in this competition for six of our students who met the criteria.
"I'll take you to meet Qingmei and Genye in the sixth grade. "Xue Feina led me to the sixth grade floor with Gu Yu, Zimo, and Xue Shuangling.
Qingmei and Genye were already waiting for us at the top of the stairs. Qingmei is a 17-year-old girl, small, less than 1.6 meters, and she is that cute type. Qingmei has short curly orange hair and crystal clear turquoise eyes. Xuan Ye is a 17-year-old boy, and his height is almost 1.9 meters before he is a minor. Genba's hair is dark blue, and his pale blue eyes are like two pools of clear spring water. The two people with the most adorable height difference stood together in an unexpectedly harmonious way, and they looked like a good match. Both of them have abilities that harness the light.
"From now on, you will be a squad, whether it is training or going out to participate in competitions, you must unite as one and take care of each other," Xue Feina instructed us, "The team is led by Xue Shuangling. ”
After getting acquainted with it, we learned that Qingmei and Xuanye, who looked particularly well-matched, were really a couple, and the two had been together for a year.
I joked with Xue Shuangling, "It's so twisty that we are caught between two couples." It's better for the two of us to quit and change to a couple to join the team. ”
Xue Shuangling smiled: "Since you feel that it has become twisted, why don't we also become a couple, wouldn't we all be happy?"
"Nonsense!" I blushed and slapped him with a smile. Of course I knew it was a joke, and I just heard it.
We started our first training session. Standing on the podium, Shefina told me about the process of the competition: "The competition is divided into the preliminary round, the semi-final and the final. In the preliminary round, 10 teams will enter the semi-finals, and 3 teams will enter the finals. The preliminary round is a battle with the battle robots, the battle process is timed, the faster you defeat all the battle robots, the better, according to the time of all the participating teams to rank, the top 10 can be promoted. The semi-final is a spirit pet battle, and the owner leads his spirit pet to play one-on-one in a group. The final is a direct battle between the squads, which is a great test of the cooperation between the squads, as well as the strategy and tactics of the squads, who plays against whom, and what tactics to use to deal with this are all things to consider. ”
Now, the students who already have a spirit pet raise their hands. Shefina said. I raised my hand with Qingmei and Xuanye.
"Very well, you each introduce your spirit pets," Xuefina said, "Yuling, you come first." ”
I was a little nervous when I stood on the podium, but I thought that although Ice Cream was a fourth-order ancient spirit beast, the form of Ice Cream had not changed again after advancing to the fourth order, so it should not be enough to arouse suspicion, so I summoned Ice Cream. Snowflakes flew on the podium in an instant, and ice cream appeared.
"This is my spirit pet, the third-order ice bear," I introduced, "and its name is Ice Cream." "Wow, it's so beautiful. Qingmei couldn't help but sigh as she looked at the ice cream. "Can I touch it?" asked Qingmei. "Of course, it's very well-behaved. I replied to Qingmei with a smile.
Qingmei stepped forward and touched Ice Cream's big head, and Ice Cream lowered her head shyly.
"The third-order ice bear is really an excellent spirit pet!" she said, looking at me with satisfaction. It seems that even Shefina didn't see that Ice Cream was a fourth-order spirit pet, so I was relieved.
I was a little proud, thinking that I would add a chicken leg to the ice cream for dinner after I went back to the dormitory today.
After that, Qingmei stepped onto the podium and summoned her spirit pet, and a fluffy ball of light instantly appeared in her hand. "My spirit pet is a third-order light ball beast, and its name is Meizi. "Your name is Qingmei, and it's called Meizi......" I couldn't help but muttered to myself. "That's right," Qingmei smiled, "it's like my child." ”
After that, it was Genye's turn. Xuanye's spirit pet is also a third-order light ball beast, and his name is Yezi. Xue Shuangling and I glanced at each other and smiled tacitly.
"Then now, there is only Xue Shuangling left, Gu Yu and Zimo have no spirit pets," Xue Feina said, "Tomorrow we will go to the Black Forest to capture spirit beasts, and then we will be domesticated into spirit pets by ourselves." Yuling, you go together to help arrest it, it's just a practice. ”
The Black Forest is the largest primeval forest near the Spirit Fighting Academy, and there are many exotic grasses and spirit beasts in it, and the academy wants to pick medicinal herbs and capture spirit beasts there.
Since we were leaving for the Black Forest tomorrow, the afternoon class was cancelled and we were asked to buy our own camping stuff. I went to the supermarket with Xue Shuangling to buy snacks to eat on the way.
"What should I buy?" I excitedly pulled Snow Frost Ling into the snack area. "Slow down. Xue Shuangling pushed the shopping cart and looked at me helplessly. "Potato chips, dried mangoes, chocolate sandwich bread......" I muttered as I kept adding things to my cart.
We walked to the beverage area, and I saw the kind of milk that Xue Shuangling gave me on the shelves, so I smiled and said to Xue Shuangling, "Shuangling, look, there is the kind of milk you gave me the first time you saw me in the supermarket!"
"Xiao Ling," Xue Shuangling grabbed the hand I was about to get the milk, "I've already put two bottles of juice in my shopping cart, I can't finish buying so many drinks, and it's heavy to carry too many things." ”
"Okay. "I withdrew my hand, in fact, I just wanted to recall the first time I met Xue Shuangling. It is said that if life is only as it is at first sight, how beautiful it is at first sight.
Xue Shuangling saw that I was not very happy, so she took a box of fruit candy and put it in the shopping cart: "Buy you candy to eat, this one is lighter." "Okay. I nodded.
In winter, it gets dark early, and it was already dark when we walked out of the supermarket. Xue Shuangling and I were walking back to the dormitory with shopping bags, and the street lights on the side of the road were already on, and the warm yellow lights looked a little warm.
"Shuang Ling, what kind of spirit beast do you say Gu Yu and Zimo will choose?" I asked Xue Shuang Ling. "Gu Yu's ability is to control flowers, she should choose a spirit animal like a butterfly or a bee. But she loves beauty so much, butterflies are more likely. Zimo's ability is to control water, and he may choose a fish spirit animal. However, it is not necessarily, the fish spirit animal needs to stay in the water for a long time, which is not very convenient to carry, and he may also choose an amphibian spirit animal. Xue Shuangling analyzed.
One of the things I admire most about Xue Shuangling is that Xue Shuangling is very good at analyzing things, no matter what I encounter, he can analyze the pros and cons, tell me one by one, and tell me what to do.
I feel relieved to have Xue Shuangling by my side.
I looked sideways at Snow Frost, his face half in the darkness and half in the light.
