Chapter 109: The Wolf Enters the Flock
Night.
Takumi, who was in the room checking the equipment he needed for tomorrow's trial, moved his ears, and then turned to look at the little fat man who was locking his head and sneaking into the room.
"You're going to come to me to steal?"
Pouting his lips, looking at the little fat man Kyoichi who was 'something is wrong', Takumi stopped his movements and teased.
The little fat man seemed to be running too quickly, and a layer of sweat oozed on his forehead, and when he saw Tuohai's calm appearance, he suddenly said with an anxious face.
"Do you know that Takumi is discussing joining forces in the trial tomorrow, and is ready to let you withdraw from the trial directly!"
"Oh."
responded very perfunctorily, and Tuo Hai patted the little fat man on the shoulder and said helplessly.
"Think about the people who said those words, are there any of those top-notch ninjas? Is it just some guy who usually behaves in the middle and bottom? ”
After thinking about it carefully, Kyoichi's round face showed a look of surprise, and he asked Takumi with curiosity.
"How do you know?"
Takumi, who repacked his equipment, did not answer directly, but asked the little fat man instead.
"Who are we?"
"Disciple of the Light Red Dao Pavilion...... No, we're ninjas. The fleshy palm rubbed against the same fleshy face, and Kyoichi remembered the fact that he was a ninja.
The little fat man's reaction was quite speechless, and Takumi continued the little fat man's words after reining in his emotions.
"Yes, we are ninjas, a group of ninjas who are not even confident in their own strength, and still rely on huddles to keep warm, but they are just a group of green caterpillars gathered together. What can they rely on to beat me? Weak language? ”
"There's no need to make friends with them in the future, it's going to be some dead people anyway, find those ninjas who usually train down-to-earth to get in touch, I believe you can get a good return in the future......"
The little fat man Jing's eyes showed a shrewdness that did not match his previous performance, but there was a simple smile on his face.
"You found out! Then I'm going to ......."
Syllable!
slapped on Kyoichi's shoulder, and Kyoichi's fat shook all over his body, and Takumi said angrily.
"With you like this, can you still do the job of a ninja?"
Sitting on the tatami mat with a grin, Kyoichi said with a shake of his head.
"I didn't plan to be a ninja, if it weren't for my dad who had to send me to the Light Red Gym and say anything to let me have a good relationship with my fellow disciples, I'm afraid I'm still spending time in the Light Red City now!"
For Kyoichi's words, Takumi didn't feel anything strange.
It's true that Ah Ju adopts a group of slightly gifted orphans every year to train ninjas, but he also doesn't mind having a good relationship with the rich people in Light Red City.
He also needs to train ninjas under his door, and he needs to feed a large number of Pokémon, and he also needs manpower to maintain the gym on a daily basis and provide services for the fighters in the gym, which requires a sea of money.
In addition to the ninjas receiving some commissioned tasks from the outside world, the sponsorship of some wealthy local merchants in Light Red City is also an important income for the gym.
When a merchant is rich, he always wants to find a talisman for himself, and in this Pokémon world, the choice of this talisman is naturally to find one or more powerful trainers.
You know, even in the small place of Sunshine Town, the small merchants there know that they have a good relationship with local trainers like Meisha and Ma Sha, who have a good reputation, how could these merchants in Light Red City ignore the Light Red Dao Pavilion, the largest local trainer force?
If you want to have a good connection with the Light Red Gym, in addition to the bond of money, these businessmen will also send their children to the Light Red Gym, and have a nominal master-apprentice relationship with Ah Ju.
And Ah Ju naturally understands very well, for these 'apprentices', except for some basic training, he will not discipline them too much at all, and only wait for them to stay in the Light Red Gym for two years, and then send them to leave the gym happily.
After sorting out the equipment he needed, Takumi also sat down next to Kyoichi, lifted the kettle on the low table, and poured Kyoichi a cup of tea.
"I have a heart."
Kyoichi's fat face suddenly smiled like a flower, he has been helping Takumi tirelessly run errands these days, and whenever he has any information, he mentions it to Takumi no matter how big or small, making himself feel like a chatter.
For what?
Isn't it just to form a good fate with Tuohai!
On the one hand, he was a disciple who was recruited by Ah Ju, and on the other hand, he was brought back to the gym by Ah Ju alone, and the basic skills of the ninja were all directly taught by Ah Ju's sister and daughter.
Who should be close to, Kyoichi felt that he still had this point in his heart.
And he knew that several other fellow disciples who were also the children of merchants were quite jealous that he could hold this thick leg, but Tuohai didn't associate with many disciples, and they couldn't do anything if they wanted to befriend Tuohai.
"Hehe, luck is coming, you can't stop it."
Looking at the fat man smirking with tea, the corners of Takumi's mouth twitched, but he didn't say much.
Kyoichi deliberately made friends and curryed favor with him, and he found out a few days after he came to the Light Red Gym.
But this fat man can be a man, and he seems to be very arrogant when he speaks, but in fact he is very measured, and people can't help but feel good about it, and Tuohai will let it go.
In the future, if the fat man asks for something to him, then he will naturally have to be ready for enough remuneration to come to him, there is a reward, there is a friendship, if his own strength is enough to solve it, then Tuohai naturally does not mind helping.
When Takumi took a sip of tea, Kyoichi also said goodbye to Takumi with interest, but when he walked to the door, he still asked Takumi a little worriedly.
"There will be a chance next year when you go out to try or something, don't go head-to-head with them, after all, there are ...... of them"
waved his hand to the fat man angrily, and Takumi, who closed the door of the room, couldn't see any nervousness on his face at all, and lay directly on the bed.
Picked up a yellowed note under the pillow and looked at the small print on it again.
"Number of participants in the outing trial: 103; Trial content: Scroll snatching; The ten people with the most scrolls in their hands get a place. ”
The source of the note is naturally from Aya, and this usually eccentric senior sister is really good to him.
Although Takumi felt that even if he didn't talk about the difference in the number of Pokémon in his hands, he had experienced the third mission world and learned about ninja fighting, and in terms of experience alone, he had completely crushed these rookie ninjas who had never had a mission at all......
……
The next day, after Ah Ju explained the rules of the trial to the disciples who participated in the trial, the ninjas who received their respective scrolls unconsciously distanced themselves from each other.
The ninjas who were originally going to huddle didn't mention anything about huddles, which made Takumi, who had accidentally caught a glimpse of them, sneer disdainfully.
"Rat-eyed."
Under the escort of more than a dozen ninjas who had already left the school, Takumi and the others were taken to various places in the back mountain.
"Return here before six o'clock in the evening, remember the teacher's words, 'We are all brothers in the same sect, don't make any serious injuries or even deaths', I and others will scout in the mountains, don't take chances!"
Takumi nodded expressionlessly, and after the ninja brother, who was about twenty years old, signaled that they could enter the mountain forest, Takumi rushed in directly.
After seeing no human figures around, Takumi directly released the supersonic bat, the big needle bee, and the Ah Bai snake, and gave a reconnaissance command to his three Pokémon with a relaxed smile on his face, and then said.
"Does that sound familiar? But this time, we're eating meat! ”
……
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Takumi yawned and walked slowly to the agreed meeting place, ignoring the awe-inspiring eyes of the three rookie ninjas who had been robbed of the scrolls, were slightly injured, and felt that they did not have the strength to fight anymore, and began to prepare food for the few Pokémon who had not eaten lunch.
Opening the space backpack and seeing the pile of scrolls inside, Takumi couldn't help but chuckle,
There are three scrolls in it, which are contributed by the three people behind him......
These rookie ninjas who have never been on a mission or have not gone on a training trip outside are simply white rabbits, compared to the ninjas in the mission world, the lame hiding and disguise of this group of guys made Takumi wonder if they were seducing in the flesh.
However, after observing for a while, Takumi found that they were real dishes, not an ambush as he expected, so there was nothing to say, and if he found one, he grabbed one.
When I met two slightly more powerful ones, it was just a matter of sending the six tails to fight in groups, which took a little more time.
"Ninjas who have been in the gym for two years and can't pass the trial can only honestly give out tasks for the light red gym, and as the difficulty of the task changes from weak to strong, after a few years, the ninjas who survive are at least the backbone of the light red gym."
Thinking of Ah Ju's usual serious appearance, Tuohai couldn't help but praise in his heart.
As a teacher, he is not only strong in his own strength, but also a good hand in terms of management power, so it is no wonder that he can mix well.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, the ninja who was in charge of leading the team also walked out of the mountain forest, and after making sure that there were no fewer people in his group, he led the team back towards the Light Red Gym.
On the way, the ninja who led the team looked at Takumi several times with strange eyes, but he knew how old and spicy this seemingly harmless junior brother was, after all, he had snatched the scrolls of two trialists under his nose.
"Senior Brother Tuohai, how many scrolls do you have now?"
Several rookie ninjas suddenly pricked up their ears, they were also very concerned about whether their little junior brother could pass the trial, as for whether they cared in their hearts, it was unknown.
Waving his hand casually, Takumi said a little 'shyly'.
"Originally, I only planned to get ten scrolls to make sure that I could get a place to go out, but I accidentally grabbed it, and now I have my own one in my backpack, there are a total of fifteen scrolls......"
