Chapter 25: Repulsion
Izawa, having defeated Tucci, turned and walked towards another warband.
A blood-colored figure and a black figure clashed in the air like lightning. Every time it was touched away, but the lightning attack was staggering.
"Irelia, hard work." Izawa joins the warband, standing alongside Irelia.
"Hehehe, I still can't count on waste." Caterina crouched on the trunk of a tree and glanced at the fallen tree in the clearing. "It looks like this operation is going to fail."
On the other hand, Yi and Tyrone are on their side. The fight continued, and there was no outside influence in the slightest. This was a battle of speed, and Yi flew over against the ground, and the sword in his hand stabbed at Tyrone at a strange angle. Tyrone made a hunting sound in his cloak, and the strangely shaped knife in his hand fanned like a net to parry it.
"Sonorous ———"
It was another fight, both of them gasped, but the sword in their hands was held tighter, "Let's decide the winner." "Yi is the first to speak.
"Just what I want." Tyrone under the cloak still makes it difficult to see the expression.
The green light on Yi Zhou's body flashed, and the sword in his hand emitted bursts of dazzling light. "What I have learned is a martial art that has been passed down from ancient times. Named, The Way of Infinity! ”
Tyrone clenched the steel knife in his hand, "My martial arts have been comprehended by myself in countless lives and deaths. I call it, Assassin Trick. ”
Two figures, no. A sword, a knife, to be exact. The will of both is in their own swords and knives. Colliding together, there was no loud collision of metals as expected. It's as if two streams of water are intertwined, silently. The two of them staggered.
Ize and Irelia didn't bother with the fight.
They quietly looked at the figures of the two of them after the staggering, and they both maintained their movements before making a move. "Who won" includes Katarina, who is half-crouched on the trunk of a tree, and everyone is guessing in their hearts.
"Bang, bang" both fell to the ground at the same time. But they turned their heads back to look at their opponents.
"If you weren't born in Noxus, we might be friends." Half-leaning against the tree, he looked at Tyrone, who was being helped up by Katarina, and said.
Tyrone's body under his cloak seemed to tremble, but he didn't speak, and shook his head slowly.
"Then, when we come to Noxus next time, I hope to see you again." Caterina picked up Tyrone on her back, and a few dodges disappeared from everyone's view.
"Izawa, this time... Yi Gang wanted to speak.
"It's getting dark, let's talk about it later. Moreover, you and Teacher Huo Lu are not lightly injured. Izawa interrupted Yi and turned to pick him up.
"Let's go to the academy first." Irelia whispered.
"Ah, why do you want me to carry Mr. Horu, he's such a big guy." When Cook, who was frightened, woke up, he looked bitter and carried Teacher Horu, who was half his size, on his back. Trembling and complaining.
"Less nonsense, can I carry it with Defia?" Irelia said angrily.
"Hehe, I've given Mr. Huo Lu a simple medicine, let's rush back to the academy immediately, it's fine." Defiya snickered from the sidelines.
"Hey, Ize. You didn't come to Ionia just to see me. Yi Youqi, who was lying on Ize's back, asked weakly.
"Probably, I don't know." Izawa looked at the darkening sky, and talked about it.
"You didn't come out to hide from Catelyn, did you?" Yi Nuo teased.
"Gun, if you talk nonsense, I'll throw you down the mountain." Ize was speechless for a moment.
"Hahaha"
"When will I be able to go home?" Izawa looked at Maggie City, which was getting closer and closer, and thought silently with Yi on his back. It is also not known how long the team has been gone. The surrounding dense thorns, messy weeds, etc., everything seems so primitive. Irelia and Defia were chatting with each other, and Cooler was talking to him, but the two of them didn't pay attention to him. Izawa listened to the conversation with a smile, but he was thinking about his own thoughts, and Yi lay on Ize's back and didn't know whether to pretend to be dead or asleep. And Teacher Horu also woke up.
"Everyone, beyond the dense forest in front, you can see the walls of Maggie City." Teacher Horu's voice came from the void.
It was already completely dark, and the people who had traveled through the dense forest came to the gate of the academy in Maggie City.
Although it was late at night, there were still two guards in armor at the entrance of the academy. Izawa looked up at the huge plaque, "Nanbu." Nanbu Gakuin. ”
That night, although there were a few wounded, Nanbu Academy was very lively. Because the trainees who had experienced the training returned safely, there were also two guests, Ize and Yi. Several large dining tables were set up in the open space of the academy, and the entire Nanwu Academy was filled with laughter.
After the dinner, the crowd dispersed. Irelia and Defia said goodnight to Ize and went to rest.
Late at night, in a room arranged by the Academy.
Izawa sat on a chair in the hall and looked at Yi lying on the bed.
"Tell me about it, easy. How could the people of Noxus suddenly appear in Ionia. It's still not less than your and my masters. Ize asked, frowning.
"The power of three. Have you heard of it, Izza? Yi said slowly.
"No, what's that? weapons? Izawa asked suspiciously.
"Well, it was first discovered in an unknown village in Ionia, and according to legend, it is said that it is an outside weapon that does not belong to anyone. It is now the treasure of the Balanced Sect. Yi looked solemn.
"Balanced Sect? I've been. But I didn't listen to them. Izawa remembered a few of his friends at the Equilibrium Sect. What kind of trichotomy power is it, is it very powerful? Izawa asked.
"Hmm. Very strong. But it also varies from person to person. Like me, the inheritance of the infinite way is the pinnacle of martial arts, and I only use a sword. And the three powers can be used by those who practice martial arts, and those who learn magic can also use them. The most powerful thing about it is that it can make martial arts and magic harmoniously combined. That weapon, which can emit the power of martial arts and magic at the same time. Of course, everyone in the entire Valoran Continent has their own practice and understanding. And the attack method has a variety of strange moves such as magic, physics, and spirit. I think there must be people in Noxus who need this weapon very much. Yi said slowly.
"It's Darius. Or ... His brother? Izawa frowned, staring at his right hand.
Noxus, a human kingdom across the sea from Ionia.
The residence of General Ducocao.
A thick curtain was drawn in a room. A rectangular conference table.
"My daughter. What happened to you in Ionia that made you suffer such a blow. It was a middle-aged man sitting in the center.
Caterina sat in her chair, no dagger in her hand, but her long hair was still blood-red. "Yes, Father. A few days after we entered Ionia, we were met with Yi. His movements were restricted at every turn, and he was finally lured to a dense forest to be killed. Bumped into a few of his friends. Among them was the explorer Ezreal. ”
"Chatter." The other man at the conference table, with his feet on the table, played with an axe in his hand, with an unstoppable expression, and said in a mocking voice: "That little yellow-haired weapon has been destroyed by my brother in that battle, and the toothless dog is so terrible." Tyrone, you haven't even solved it. What a disappointment of the general's love for you. ”
Tyrone, who was standing behind Katarina, ignored him, just gave him a cold look.
Caterina didn't seem to notice his presence, and took a deep breath and said, "Father, I was careless in this mission. I'm sorry. I will definitely go to Ionia again to capture the power of triathlon. ”
"Chatter, next time? Forget it. I don't want to see you come home empty-handed like this again. The man with the axe pushed his chair away, stood up, and said lightly, "Yi and Ezreal, leave it to us." "Let's go back to the Nanwu Academy in Ionia.
"Yi, one more thing." Izawa pondered for a moment.
"Before that, I ran into the Void Clan."
Yi Yilu, who was lying on the bed with half-squinted eyes just now, sat up and looked at Yi Ze in disbelief: "You mean, the Void Clan?" ”
Izawa nodded. "Yes. And, it's for me. ”
"Are they already aware of it?" There was a thick melancholy in Yi's eyes.
Izawa shook his head: "No, not for that. ”
Then Izawa told Yi everything about his previous encounter with the Void Creature, including being saved by Suna and the Children of the Stars.
"The Void Clan, it's still so strong." Yi Chang exhaled.
"Izawa, do you remember the story my master told us when we met in Piltover?" After being silent for a while, Yi suddenly said.
"Well, is it the matter of the first generation of Infinite Sword Saint and the god-level masters of the continent encountering the Void Clan?" Izawa pondered for a while and said slowly.
Yi nodded slightly: "Master told us at that time that the Void also lived with us in the Valoran Continent at that time. The area they are in is called Acacia. They want to monopolize the Valoran continent and drive out all races. At that time, there were many more strong people in the continent than now. The god-level masters on the continent are only trying to deal with one clan. After sinking Acacia, god-level masters also fell in batches. Although it is only a legend that has been handed down, it is shocking enough. ”
Izawa glanced at Yi with a serious face.
"This time the void reappeared, and I must have observed the continent for a long time before. Maybe decades, maybe centuries. After such a long period of silence, and then appearing on the mainland, I don't know what preparations have been made. Yi seemed to be stunned and thought in a daze.
"If there is no place to live, there is no resource. The Void Clan must not be as strong as it used to be. But now the continent ... Izawa crossed his arms and said solemnly.
"Well, there are constant wars on the mainland right now. Noxus is ambitious. It's just that the civil war has already left us with no time to take care of ourselves. Wait for the Void to really invade the continent on a large scale one day. I don't know if it's as united as it was many years ago. Yi analyzed it very clearly.
Izawa shook his head and stood up, "I don't want to, it's useless to think too much." There will always be a way to open a road and build a bridge when the mountain meets the water. ”
Ize looked at the moonlight outside the window, and turned his head to look at Yi, who was still pondering: "Hey, rest early." ”
Izawa returned to his room and lay on the bed with his arms crossed, looking at the roof with his eyes open.
Although he said that he didn't need to think about it, he couldn't sleep all the time. Because, they all know their responsibilities. "Tuk-tuk."
When the first rays of sunlight shine through the clouds onto the plaque of the Nambu School, Defiya arrives at Izawa's door.
"Hey, get up." Defia kept knocking on the door and shouted.
"Squeak."
Izawa rubbed his sleepy eyes and pushed open the door, "It's so early." Is there anything going on, Defia. Since he didn't know what time he went to bed last night, Izawa tried to look at the little girl in front of him who was half a head shorter than him.
"It's nothing, Brother Izawa. People just feel like they haven't seen each other for a long time, and suddenly they miss you so much. Defia lowered her head and played with the corners of her clothes, looking like she was twisting.
Izawa stroked his forehead and sighed, "No, it's not been a day since we last met... ”
"Hee-hee-hee, I'm here to call you for breakfast."
"Oh... Ize looked at Dilfia, who was jumping and walking away.
Nanbu Gakuin, restaurant.
"Brother Izawa, sit here." Little Miss Defia stood on a stool, crossed over and shouted at Izawa.
Izawa held the plate in one hand and rubbed his chest with the other, calming down, and slowly walked to Defia and Irelia's table.
"Brother Izawa, sit next to me. Hey, Cook, you go out and sit. Come, Brother Yi, you sit next to Sister Irelia. Defia commanded.
"Why!" Cook was holding his plate and snorting at this time.
"Because my mother said that those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black. If you eat like this, it will affect me unconsciously. I don't want to eat too much and get fat. I read a lot, so I won't lie to you. Defiya looked serious.
Cook: "... ”
Izawa: "... ”
Yi: "... ”
Irelia: "... ”
In the past two days, because of the sudden appearance of Noxus, Ize forgot Uncle Rio's instructions. Now that the matter is over, Izawa has a headache and doesn't know how to talk to Irelia about it. Izawa glanced at Irelia on the other side, but found that the attention on the other side seemed to be on this side, so he quickly lowered his head and took a sip of soup.
Here Yi swallowed a bun and asked vaguely, "Izawa, are you going to leave Ionia?" ”
Ize took the third egg that Dilfia had peeled over and frowned, "Yes." I've been to the places I want to go, and I've seen the people I've met. And, you know. ”
Yi swallowed another bun, pounded his chest desperately, and poured a big mouthful of soup before he recovered. "Uh, okay. I'm going to rush back to the village. ”
"Woo, I'm leaving so soon. What if I can't see you in the future, Brother Izawa. Defia looked pitiful.
Ize: "I'm full, you talk." ”
Yi: "... After eating, the group walked in the academy.
Some of the teenage girls looked at them quietly, "Hey, do you see that little yellow hair?" I heard that he is an alien explorer, or a master at the same level as Irelia. ”
"Next to that little yellow hair, it's Master Yi!"
They looked at Ize and the others who were slowly walking by, their faces showed a look of admiration, and a burst of whispers came.
"Is that Master Yi? It's so obscene. Ah, what a disappointment. A girl in a blue dress next to her was heartbroken.
“。。。” Teenage companions.
"That explorer is okay." A young girl added.
Yi Ze heard everyone's whispers, smiled proudly, and lowered his voice to Yi "hehe" twice.
Yi: "Huh. ”
"That's right, Irelia. I don't know what your dean is looking for us. "As early as breakfast, Teacher Horu, who had recovered, came to inform them that the dean wanted to see them.
Irelia shook her head.
Izawa shrugged his shoulders and continued to walk forward.
Nanbu Gakuin, Dean's Office.
Izawa and his entourage came to the door of the dean's office.
"Tuk-tuk."
"Please come in." A powerful shout.
Pushing open the door, I saw a figure in the room. On the main seat, there is an old man wearing white linen short sleeves, the old man has a straight body, a straight waist like a gun, a faint smile on his face, and a gray, but neat short hair, which makes a little more vicissitudes.
This person is none other than the director of the Nanbu School, Joseph Diru. Ionia, and even the famous warriors of the entire continent.
"Uncle Diru." Irelia shouted politely.
"Senpai." Yi bowed.
"Uh, hello Dean." Only Izawa was meeting Dean Diru for the first time.
Dean Diru looked up at the three young men, and there was a gentle smile between his eyebrows.
"Sit down."
"Irelia. You're about to finish your course. Planning to go back to the village? Dean Diru asked with a gentle expression as he first looked at Irelia.
"Yes, Uncle Diru, I want to go back and see my father." Irelia replied.
"Hey, go back and tell Big Brother Rio. Say I miss him very much. Dean Diru sighed slowly, and his gaze turned to Yi.
"You have the same temperament as your master. When you get back to the village, tell the old fellow and let him come and see me. Dean Diru said with a smile.
"Uh... Good. Senior Diru, I will tell Master. Yi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
It seems that Mr. Diru is very familiar with Master Rio and the Infinite Sword Saint, Izawa thought secretly.
"Explorer, you're from Piltover." Dean Diru's hearty voice interrupted Izawa's musings.
"Yes, Dean Diru." Izawa hurriedly replied.
"Yes, Piltover always had some strange ideas." Dean Diru bowed slightly, and a few traces of essence flashed in his eyes, as if he was recalling something.
"Irelia's father is our eldest brother, and your master Yi, the three of us. When we were as old as you, we also went out and crossed the continent. Dean Diru's eyes were warm.
"I went to Piltover, the city of technology, and met Heimerdinger, who was full of strange ideas. Freljord, who had also been to the extreme cold of the north, had met a natural warrior. Then, Dean Diru's eyes were a little colder. "When I was passing through Noxus, I met opponents, very good opponents. Only Big Brother Rio can match him, and I can barely keep up with his speed. When we returned to Ionia long after that battle was over, we learned that the man's name was Ducocao. He raised his army and legions of killer assassins in Noxus. We went back to Ionia to teach the younger generation. Dean Diru let out a long breath after saying this, as if he had returned to his youthful frivolity.
Izawa listened to these words silently, and looked at Mr. Dilu, although he had neat white hair, he must have been a handsome person when he was young.
