Before you know it, it's July, but the temperature difference between the four seasons in the Kanto area is not too big, and the maximum temperature of about 31 degrees in summer is completely within Takumi's acceptable range.

"Morning, Jing Fat~"

"Morning, Takumi, no, I've said it many times, call me Kyoichi!"

On the way to the training ground, Takumi greeted the only male disciple he knew, and the nickname he called out was met with a non-lethal rebuttal from the little fat man's mouth.

"I said no, but I accepted it happily in my heart."

Seeing that the little fat man was about to refute, Takumi quickly changed the topic.

"Why did the teacher ask us to assemble at the training ground today......

Looking at Takumi's puzzled look, Kyoichi's face finally put on a cheap smile, and the two pieces of fat shook together.

"You follow the two senior sisters every day, this intelligence news is naturally not as well-informed as me, you must know, it's July now!"

Seeing that Takumi hadn't reacted yet, Kyoichi's face showed a rather speechless look.

"You're still a trainer who has already traveled! I didn't even know that the quartz competition had officially begun! ”

"It is said that the teacher deliberately gave us relaxation time, so that we could watch the game and relieve the pressure of training on weekdays......

The little fat man Kyoichi's words Takumi just smiled and didn't make a sound, what kind of joke, Ah Ju would let the disciples do meaningless things?

Even if the contestants of the quartz conference are still strong and weak, they are also the best among the new forces of trainers, even if Ah Ju does not respect this kind of 1v1 combat method that only allows Pokémon to get off the field, but it is still okay to let a large number of disciples increase their knowledge and learn something from the shortcomings of others.

When it came to the time notified by Ah Ju, more than 300 dojo disciples wearing ninja costumes gathered together, and such a force, coupled with Ah Ju's strength, had the huge influence of the Light Red Daoist Pavilion in Light Red City.

And the reason why there were only more than 300 disciples was because the other disciples who couldn't be there were all out on a mission, or they had Aju's permission to live in other cities.

For example, beside the contemporary head of the Sasaki family, who has amazing financial resources in Guandu, there are two powerful disciples under Ah Ju who have been guarding him for a long time.

And Tuohai, the 'green-haired man' brother who has never met, got Ah Ju's permission and worked hard to improve his acting career outside.

The reason why Ah Ju gathered the disciples was similar to what Kyoichi said, that is, to tell them that the quartz conference had begun, and that when the quartz conference was broadcast on TV, interested disciples could watch it.

After Ah Ju left, Takumi came to Aya and A-Xing in the eyes of other people with unknown meaning, and asked about today's training arrangements.

"The quartz competition at nine o'clock has officially begun, and before that you can think about what you were taught before, for example, talk about your footsteps and breathing a little quieter."

Ah Xing's cold voice made Takumi nod yes, or Aya pulled Takumi to the side with a smile on her face.

"It's better to practice on a wooden floor......"

Originally, Takumi thought that Aya was really thinking about him, but a few minutes later, looking at the dozens of female ninjas sitting in front of the TV in the room, Takumi's head was bigger.

Taking a deep breath outside the door, Takumi smiled and nodded at a group of female ninjas staring at him, and it was only with Aya's narrow smile that he walked to the corner of the room, discarding distractions and practicing his skills to make his footsteps and breathing sound imperceptible.

Although Aya had brought him here on purpose, she was right, practicing on a wooden floor was indeed more effective than practicing on a dirt floor.

And the female ninjas who are waiting for the start of the quartz tournament will also focus on him from time to time, although from time to time they will tease Takumi a few words under Aya's guidance, but they will also use their own experience from previous training to correct Takumi's mistakes, so that Takumi can improve rapidly in the skill of suppressing footsteps.

It wasn't until the broadcast of the quartz conference officially started that Takumi stopped training and sat in the front row at Aya's greeting.

However, ten minutes later, when Takumi saw that in the first battle broadcast on the TV screen, a young man with slightly curly hair and full of mistakes in command orders was easily solved by the other side, and finally couldn't help but complain.

"How did such a guy get into the quartz conference?"

"It should be a qualification obtained from the Pokémon Screening Exam, and each major city league will allocate a few places to it, and there is always a little bit of a dark operation......"

With disdain in her tone, Aya continued.

"Of course, this kind of scum is usually eliminated in the first round, because it is unlikely that two scum will be against each other......"

Nodding, Takumi continued to watch, the level of the second game was much better, it should be two trainers who qualified by getting eight badges.

Looking at the pictures on TV, pondering the skills of other trainers to use Pokémon and how to deal with some situations, Takumi still felt quite rewarding.

……

Time passed like this, and when the quartz conference came to an end, Takumi, who was training, watching, and thinking every day, didn't know that in a small town called Zhenxin Town, a ten-year-old black-haired boy had already started a fateful encounter with an electric mouse who liked to walk upright.

After silently watching the finals of the quartz conference, looking at the young trainer who cheered loudly and Takumi had no impression in his memory, he couldn't help but have some doubts.

But then thinking of Ah Ju's evaluation of the alliance competition, Takumi couldn't help but be relieved.

A game is a game, reality is reality, and being able to win the championship of the league tournament can only show that this person's Pokémon is strong enough, his own grasp of timing, and his command of Pokémon are very powerful, but this does not mean that he is also invincible in the struggle outside the arena.

If Ah Ju decides to assassinate the new 'champion' of the quartz competition, Takumi doesn't think it's a very difficult thing to do.

"The ivory tower and society are really two worlds......

"The goal of the game is to knock down the opponent's Pokémon, and the battle in reality is to kill the opponent himself, the difference between the two is why there is a 'champion' in the quartz tournament every year, but it is the Four Heavenly Kings who are known, feared, and worshipped......"

Takumi's eyes were gloomy, and he returned to his room and began to hone the skills that ninjas must master.

As a trainer, he was killed by someone else, so no matter how strong the Pokémon is, what is the use?

……

At lunch the next day, Ah Ju, who had always been silent during the meal, suddenly spoke.

"There is reliable information that near the Tokiwa Forest, someone saw the Phoenix King flying in the sky with his own eyes......"

Aya, A-Xing and Takuha's eyes were all stunned, compared to Aya and A-Xing who were simply surprised by the divine beast, Takuha's stunned look was because of a few words in Aju's words.

"Tokiwa Forest, Phoenix King ......"

"So, Zhiye and Pi Shen have set off?"

As for the Feng King that Ah Ju said, Tuo Hai doesn't even have the desire to fantasize about it, is the Feng King something he can hope for? I didn't see Ah Ju just casually mentioned it, didn't he want to capture the Phoenix King at all?

Instead of caring about the Phoenix King, it is better to care about a certain mini dragon that has hatched......

Takumi glanced at the miniature dragon that was placed in the specially arranged glass fish tank, and he could hardly help but drool.

Divine beasts or something, how can there be a quasi-divine beast's juvenile body!

Not only Tuohai, but even Ah Xing and Aya also took a bite, just look at this mini dragon that was suddenly released by Ah Ju today, and their eyes are about to turn into star eyes.

Tuohai also secretly guessed Ah Ju's intentions in his heart, could it be that he simply told Aya and A-Xing that he got a mini dragon. By the way, tell yourself that the eggs of the miniature dragon have hatched?

However, Ah Ju never spoke, and Tuo Hai naturally didn't want to ask questions, and looking at Ah Ju's serious face, even the most lively Aya didn't dare to squeak.

It wasn't until lunch was eaten that Ah Ju retrieved the mini dragon from the fish tank, threw a good training sentence for the three of them, and left......

And this sentence made Tuo Hai frown, glanced at Aya and Axing, and seemed to have a little guess in his mind.

But guessing is speculation, Tuohai still has to be based on reality, even if Ah Ju doesn't say it, he will train hard, and his skills will not be pressed, this is a sentence that Tuohai believes in very much.

With his left hand brushing the baby ball tattoo on the back of his right hand, Takumi quickly opened the [Information] option.

"ID: 7027."

"Abilities: [Rock Climbing], [Dodge], [Throw], [Trap], [Spirit Link (Beginner)], [Katy Dog's Nose - Stage 1]."

"Item: [Glass-smashing glass ball],"

"Pokémon: Seven; Six-tailed, Lada, Abo snake, big needle bee, up to duck, pangolin, double bomb gas. ”

Since it was the earliest learned trap arrangement, over this period of time, Takumi's ability in trap placement has been recognized by the 'system'.

And medical skills and poison techniques are never things that can be learned in a short period of time, even if Takumi had completed the preparation of an anesthetic under Aya's gaze two days ago, it was obvious that this level was not enough for the system to judge [ability].

In the same way, although Takumi has made progress in training to reduce the sound of breathing and footsteps, it is not enough to be recognized by the 'system', and he can only exercise more in the future.

As for the so-called earth escape technique, Takumi, who had to do other training during the day, really couldn't spare the effort, so he dragged the pangolin to practice for half an hour before taking a bath every day, and then ran into the bathroom with a disgraced face.

So until now, Tuohai's earth escape technique has no actual combat value.

However, Tuohai's mind is not on the Earth Escape Technique now, and glancing at the countdown to the task with five days left, Tuohai can't help but set his eyes on Ah Xing......
