Chapter 137: The Gathering
As the start of the school year approached and the students began to return, the department stores that had been deserted for more than a month were finally bustling with activity again.
Masakazu Aoki is a good money-savvy owner, and he has already booked a private room in the best restaurant in the mall.
Ryuichi returned to the dormitory to take a shower, changed his clothes, and then went to the banquet with Aoki Masakazu.
Master Xuan!
It is a very large restaurant with antique decoration, which occupies almost half of the third floor. After entering the restaurant, there is a hall, with dozens of tables and chairs, including double seats, four-seat sofas and round tables for ten people.
Aoki Masakazu walked to the front desk with Ryuichi and Ruth, said hello to the proprietress sitting behind the stage, and then called a waiter in a kimono to go to the box inside.
"You don't think it's a restaurant, but as its name suggests, the owner behind this restaurant is a master trainer!" Aoki Masakazu introduced.
There are many decorative paintings on the walls of the restaurant, each of which depicts an important experience in the life of the trainer.
This is a chubby master trainer who looks a little unassuming. But now that he can become a master, then he has already stood at the top of the pyramid of the trainer industry, and has also entered the upper class of this world.
There are not many boxes in the Master Xuan, there are only 8 in total, corresponding to the eight Gym badges that the Trainer Master received when he first participated in the Alliance Conference.
The waiter led the two to one of the boxes labeled 'Green Leaf Hall' and opened the door.
There is a lot of space inside, there is a whole row of green bamboo planted on one of the walls, there are also a lot of potted plants, and there are also gourd vine-like vegetation climbing on the ceiling, which looks very green.
There was a round table in the center, and there were already a few people sitting there waiting.
"Zhenghe, how can there be a reason for the host to invite guests to wait for a long time, you should be punished, you should be punished!"
Seeing Long Yi and the two, one of the boys said with a smile.
"You, you, okay, okay, I'll punish myself with three cups later." Aoki shook his head and smiled.
glanced at the room and found that there were already all the people, so he urged the waiter to start serving, then closed the door and said, "I called two new friends over today, Akino Meng, you already knew each other just now, this must be no stranger." ”
"I know, Ryuichi Miyazaki, the top 8 players in the Academy Cup, how can I not know him." Everyone laughed.
"Ryuyi, let's sit down and talk." The two of them took their seats, and Aoki Masawa pointed to the boy next to him who had just teased him and introduced: "Anxi Ku, a second-year student in the blue dormitory, is good at water elves. ”
Anzai is handsome, wears a shirt, and gives people a very easy-going, approachable feeling, a natural acquaintance, and an easy person to deal with.
"Hello, junior." He smiled and held out his hand.
Ryuichi shook his hand and said hello briefly.
Sitting next to Anxi Ku was a boy with a melancholy temperament, with long light yellow hair that covered half of his face.
After being introduced by Aoki Masakazu, Ryuichi knew that this was called Tatsuya Sonoya, a second-year student in the red dormitory, who was good at drawing.
He is similar to Aoki Masakazu, and he is also the son of a high-ranking official who comes to mess around, but he doesn't have the task of befriending potential trainers, it's purely personal preference, he doesn't talk much, and he is a little silent.
Then there is an old acquaintance sitting opposite Ryuichi, Yume Akino, a 2nd grader in the red dormitory. Her Chirulian is very strong, and she has an ancestral craft that can quickly relieve the fatigue caused by elven training, and has the talent to become a high-level elven healer.
Then there is the girl sitting next to Akino Dream, her appearance is not very outstanding, with a pair of eyes, and she has a very quiet temperament.
Coincidentally, this Ryuichi also happened to know each other.
"Sensa Arizawa, right?" Ryuichi didn't wait for Aoki Masakazu to speak, and said with a smile.
"You know?" Aoki Masakazu's expression was so strange that he went back and forth between the two.
Mie Arisawa, a 2nd year student in the green dormitory, is also not very good at elf combat, but is very talented in making elf food.
Although Ryuichi did not complete the alliance task of protecting Sakamoto Toran, he won the championship of the insect trapping conference and received a prize of 100,000 yuan.
With money, of course, he will not be stingy with his elves, and the high-grade elf food prepared for them during his special training at the academy is high-grade boutique elf food, which happens to be bought from this senior sister.
After going back and forth, the two naturally became familiar with each other.
"Okay, then there's only one last person left."
The last person was a tall man sitting on the other side of Ryuichi, who was bigger than Dagen Shin and the president of the academy fighting club, Kozaburo, and sat there like a little giant, his head almost touching the antique chandelier wrapped in plants.
"Igarashi Kurosawa, please advise." Ryuichi shook his hand, and that hand was like a fan, giving him the strange illusion of holding hands with his father when he was a child.
"Ryuichi, don't be deceived by Kurosawa's appearance, he is the No.1 among the second-year students in the blue dormitory, and his grades were the first when he came up from the middle of the country!" Aoki said.
Anzai Ku also nodded: "In terms of strength, maybe Kurosawa is the strongest one in this room." ”
Long Yi looked at Kurosawa in surprise when he heard this, only to see that he actually showed a shy expression, which made people laugh.
Although Ryuichi won the top 8 of the Academy Cup, in fact, a considerable number of powerful students did not participate in this competition, especially for those students who either did not participate and planned to win the championship as soon as they participated.
As long as Mei Miyamoto is still in the academy for a day, they won't participate in this kind of competition for a day, because they went there to be a green leaf for the student council president.
Everyone is young, and after a brief introduction, they quickly became familiar with each other.
Aoki Masakazu and Anzai Ku are the two most eloquent and active people, and Tatsuya Sonoya doesn't talk much and is relatively silent.
Akino Yume is quirky, Mie Arisawa is gentle and demure, and Igarashi Kurosawa doesn't talk much, and he is relatively shy, but there is a trace of arrogance between the lines, but it is not to the point of being disgusting.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, after talking about the interesting facts of the summer vacation, the topic gradually shifted to the college.
"Kurosawa, what are you going to do with your student council this year?" Aoki Masakazu asked suddenly.
Kurosawa Igarashi is a member of the student council, and is a senior officer in it.
"I don't know yet, this will have to wait for the president's decision." Igarashi Kurosawa said honestly.
"What? What are you guys playing? "Everyone else's curiosity was aroused.
"It's the handover of the student president." Kurosawa explained.
The training academy is a three-year program, with enrollment and opening in the spring and ending in the winter. After three years, those who pass the assessment will successfully graduate and can get the job provided by the alliance, and the treatment depends on the results of the graduation assessment.
Mei Miyamoto is already in her third year at the Trainer Academy this year, which means that the graduation assessment will be held after the end of the second half of this year, and with her strength, she will naturally not even be able to pass the graduation assessment, and the position of the student president will definitely be vacant at that time, so the heir must be selected in advance.
This is the highest position and ease that a student in the college can get! The power is terrifying!
Last year, the former student president practiced a challenge system, which was in line with the law of the jungle that he believed.
He originally wanted to elect the strongest of the other students to take over the position of student president, but he didn't expect Miyamoto Mei to directly pull him off the throne, and as a result, the student president lost his position before he graduated, and almost became a laughing stock.
"If this year is still the same as last year, then Kurosawa should have a chance." Anzai said bitterly.
Masakazu Aoki, Tatsuya Sonotani, and Mie Arisawa are all trainers who are not good at fighting, and in the room there are Ryuichi, Anzai Ku, Yume Akino, and Kurosawa Igarashi who are expected to be the student presidents.
However, after all, Ryuichi and Akino Yume have been trainers for too short a time, and their background is not enough. Maybe individual elves are not weaker than others, but they are still somewhat inferior in overall strength.
"Even if she is chosen, what is it, but it is just to take over the president's class, and she is still one level behind." Igarashi Kurosawa shook his head, he was very restrained in drinking, and he suddenly drained half a glass of wine in one gulp, choking and coughing.
"Ahem...... elements, it's so hard......" he said, choking on tears.
