Chapter Ninety-Seven: Cleaning
“…… See this hill behind me, your task today is very simple, it is to clear the training ground on the mountain. Ryosuke Watanabe quickly swept through the number of people and said, "From the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, there are a total of five training grounds, so the twenty of you will be divided into five groups to clean up." ”
"Isn't it to teach us the art of fighting?" Someone asked weakly below.
"It's not something that someone else can teach you, you have to feel it yourself." Ryosuke Watanabe replied lightly, and then left without dragging his feet at all.
Empty eyes sent him through the crowd, and he agreed with what he said in his heart. As my grandfather said, there is nothing fancy in combat, and the so-called skills are all explored and realized by the trainers themselves, and there are no shortcuts.
"By the way, you all have your ID cards with you." When Watanabe was about to reach the door, he suddenly turned around and said to the crowd as if he had thought of something, "The cafeteria is at the end of the hallway, and you can eat for free with your card." However, the food is only available until 1 p.m., so you have to hurry. ”
"Huh?" There was a commotion in the crowd.
What a cheat! The cafeteria closes at one o'clock, and it's already 12 o'clock.
"Why are you still stunned? Get to work! I don't know who roared, and then I found that the number of people around me was decreasing at a speed that was visible to the naked eye, and it didn't take long for only himself and three "little ghosts" of about the same age to remain. The difference is that Sora was labeled as unapproachable because of his previous performance, so no one dared to come forward and ask to form a team. And they are simply disliked because of their thin stature.
Walking slowly towards the hill, it was a stark contrast to the people hurrying around him. Just now, a clever guy found a tool for cleaning up in the utility room next to him, and there were not many of them, which immediately caused everyone to scramble.
Why don't you just sweep the floor, what tools do you want? Sora watched everyone arguing over a few brooms, shovels, and even the fate of the venue, laughed at their superficiality, and then touched Nana on her shoulder. She had woken up and was looking around.
"Excuse me, please, can you team up with us?" A somewhat timid voice came from behind.
"Huh?" Empty twist head.
"I—My name is good! He is 11 years old. The other party was taken aback by the cold look of the empty eyebrows, and unconsciously took a half step back, "His name is Ken, this is Harry, we are all here for the internship." ”
Sora subconsciously wants to refuse, but after thinking about it, it would be good to have a few more people to help with this kind of thing. So, in the midst of three pairs of expectant eyes, he bowed his head and said, "Okay." ”
"Great!" A look of excitement hugging his thighs, they don't know how strong the air is, but in terms of strength...... Someone tried it just now, and I'm still lying down.
He looked into the distance, and found that the four sub-fields at the foot of the mountain and on the mountainside had been occupied one after another, and it could be seen that no one wanted to go hungry for the afternoon training class. The only thing left is the main site on the top of the mountain, which is too high and occupies too much land, so no one cares about it.
Just look for the right route up the mountain. The hollow is bound to get the Tokiwa badge, and it doesn't hurt to prepare early. Thinking of this, he patted Nana on the shoulder again, and the other party immediately understood, and under the red light on his forehead, the [telekinesis] instantly wrapped the master's whole body. Sora suddenly felt a light under his feet, and then, he said to the three of them who were excited, "Keep up." ”
"Yes!" Ken, Ryo, and Harry hurriedly answered. The next moment they saw Sora rise up, glide over the heads of the crowd like a deft swallow, come to a leisurely stop on the rocks, and then leap again, swooping down beautifully, drawing graceful curves in the sky, and quickly disappearing from their field of vision.
“…… Is this still human? Jian's mouth opened, and it took a long time to spit out a sentence, he didn't know that this was the magic of Nana's [telekinesis].
No one answered him, and Ryoshi and Harry stared blankly into the distance, with a flashing expression.
Nana wrapped her arms around the empty neck, she listened to the wind whisper in her ear, watched the scenery quickly recede from both sides, and then narrowed her eyes comfortably. With her current strength, it is not difficult to fly with her master even if she uses [telekinesis], but she still likes to lie on her empty shoulders and be a "little kitten". Because it has the temperature she likes, the taste she likes.
In the "Superpowers" chat group, a senior (a Chirulian) told her that if she dealt with humans, she would have to take away the old and indulge, and if she left immediately, she would be gracious and powerful...... In this way, you can ensure your status in the hearts of the other party. She also said that humans are very attentive creatures, always thinking about having more elves, and if they don't work hard to improve their strength and learn skills, they can easily be "thrown into the cold palace".
Although Nana knew nothing about it, she faintly felt in her heart that Empty would not do that, although her master (lao) person (gong) was not dedicated enough, did she abandon this kind of thing from the beginning......
Huh, how dare he?
Naturally, he didn't dare, there was a lesson from his grandfather's past, and he was already planning to raise them for a lifetime. As for how to raise him, he doesn't have time to think about it for the time being.
At this moment, the sky is constantly shuttling between the rocks and the rock wall, sometimes he kicks the wall up, sometimes stands on the rock, sometimes moves like a rabbit, sometimes quiet like an autumn. The steep and rugged trail didn't bother him much, and his only concern was not to jump too hard and hit the ceiling.
The route up the mountain is more difficult to find than expected, if you are not in a high place, it is impossible to easily find the right path from the complex terrain, and it is bound to consume a lot of physical strength to explore alone, which is a great test for the trainer. Sora's current behavior is cheating when challenging the gym, whether it's [Flying Technique] or [Dancing Technique], it's not good.
"Hmm...... If you walk from here, you will take a long detour, but you can avoid a battle point...... With my jumping power, I should be able to cross this small canyon...... Which bastard designed such a long stone staircase? I'm tired from climbing up, and I'm still spanking! Sora despised the Alliance's sinister intentions while planning the route.
In fact, this is also a helpless move by the alliance, and most of the Daoist leaders will do this. Because there is a limit to the number of badges issued each year, if the limit is exceeded, you have to roll up and leave. But to deal with the fledgling novices, the major pavilion owners can't go all out, so they have to make a fuss on the venue, hoping to make those challengers with big ambitions and weak strength retreat.
"Whew—it's finally here." Ten minutes later, Sora went around all the way and finally reached the top of the mountain. He had already calculated that if he took the shortest route, he would pass through at least three battle points, but it was more cost-effective to take a long detour, at least to ensure that the elves had enough physical strength to face the last strong enemy.
Fighting is a very practical problem, no matter how powerful the elf is, it can't fight endlessly, and it is very important to distribute physical strength reasonably.
"If you knew about it, you should have reminded them not to take the tools." Sora looked down from the top of the mountain, and the three rammed goods with familiar names were still halfway up the mountain, looking tired and tired. Sora shook his head, knowing that instead of counting on them for help, it would be more reliable to clean up first.
"I'm going to ask you again." The head was tilted, just against the neck of the little girl.
"Bah~" Nana screamed proudly, her beautiful eyes slightly bent into crescents, and she looked very good. Then she straightened up and stretched widely.
Show time!
"Buzz!" The ground seemed to be swept by a transparent ripple, stirring up a large cloud of dust. The earth and rocks did not fall directly to the ground, but were eerily suspended in mid-air, as if frozen in time.
"Babble!" With a soft snort, Nana's forehead shone brightly. I saw her waving two little furry paws (in fact, she didn't need it), and the dust in the sky seemed to be pushed together by a pair of invisible big hands, forming a small ball of earth, and the visibility on the field became high.
This is not the end, under Nana's precise "command", the earth ball is divided into multiple strands, and the dirt is poured into the field, filling in the potholes above; Gravel is embedded in the rock wall to fill in the small holes in it; All the miscellaneous items were thrown aside and piled up in small piles.
Before I knew it, she had grown to the point where even I, the master, would be amazed...... Empty in the heart of the sigh. The threshold for using [Mental Power] is very low, but it is difficult to use it deeply. Multi-line operations, subtle operations, and large-scale operations, all of which originally existed only in his vision, were realized one by one in Nana.
He doesn't know if there is a second elf in this world who can only be with him, understand each other, rely on each other, never abandon each other, and share life and death. (Nini faints crying in the toilet)
However, it was good to meet Nana.
……
"It's okay, Nana." Sora stopped the other party from cleaning up the entire training ground, although it was only a matter of a few thoughts on her mind, "Leave the rest to the three of them." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Ken, Liang, and Harry climbed to the top of the mountain.
"Ha, ha! It's finally here. The three of them collapsed to the ground without an image, gasping for breath, the shovel or something had already been thrown on the road, otherwise it was still a question of whether they could climb up.
Sora glanced at his watch, half-past twelve, and if they had moved a little faster, they should have had lunch. Then he said to the three, "My portion has been done, and I will leave the rest to you." ”
Hearing this, the three of them raised their heads with difficulty, and suddenly found that most of the land on the training ground had become flat and compact, and only a small part had not been cleared and looked very messy.
The size of the training ground can be compared to the NBA basketball court, so even if it is only a small part, it is more than 100 square meters. The three of them are not people who have to make inches, and they know that it is benevolent and righteous to do this, so naturally they can't say anything like begging or please. But......
"If only I hadn't left my tools on the road." Harry said with a bitter face.
Sora was about to slide all the way down the slope of the back mountain, and when he heard this, he threw down a sentence without looking back: "Tools? Use your brains, you're trainers. ”
Then he left in style, leaving the three of them thoughtful.
