After returning from Ziyuan Town, Sora's life returned to its original trajectory, studying, cultivating, and training elves. Rada's death gave him a hint of unease, reality is not a game, elves can be injured and die, and relifellants (vitality shards) can only save the dying elves, but not the dead. Even the elf PC, which claims to be able to heal everything, is helpless in the face of the wounds in his heart.

It is said that hope comes from disappointment, and struggle begins with sorrow. With a sense of urgency, I cherish my time more and more, and cherish my opportunities. So, he began to expand his learning, no longer limited to knowledge related to elves, but biology, chemistry, physics, computers and other fields, the profession of the Kamio couple provided him with great convenience, and a more real Pokémon world was gradually unfolding in front of him.

Just when Sora thought that such a peaceful and fulfilling day would continue forever, Shigeru said goodbye to him, just three days before the end of winter vacation.

"I'm leaving," Xiao Mao said succinctly, "to the city." ”

"Take care." Sora also cherished words like gold, he didn't even ask where the city capital was, let alone why he wanted to go, but just said "take care". True friends are like this, they know how to be silent and wait, and they know that Xiao Mao will naturally tell him if he wants to say something.

"Goodbye, then." After Xiao Mao finished speaking, he turned around, got into the car, and closed the door freely, without a trace of mud and water. There is a silver mountain range between the city and the gate, and most people choose to go to the port of dead leaves to take a boat if they want to go back and forth.

When the car started and drifted away, a head suddenly poked out of the window, and it was Xiao Mao shouting to his best friend: "Empty! I won't lose to you again next time we meet! ”

"Hah! You think beautifully—" Sora waved his hand vigorously, but his eyes were moist. Stupid, don't you know it's sensational!

He watched the car disappear from view before turning back into the house.

Everyone has their own path, and there are always some paths to follow. But the difference is that some roads are walked with feet, while some roads are walked with heart.

……

After Xiao Mao left, there were no more people and things in Tokiwa Academy that were worth caring about. As a result, he began to gradually fade from social interaction with his peers and instead spent all his time studying and cultivating. This kind of semi-autistic state of emptiness, the efficiency is terrifying, not only did he skip one level every year to go to school, but also used the role of Dr. Ohki's assistant to mix in the alliance forum, and the real elites of this world communicated with each other, learned, and quickly won their recognition.

In his previous life, he already had a good talent for learning, but after coming here, his brain has been strengthened, and his intelligence and energy are far beyond ordinary people, plus the elf knowledge recorded in his head that surpasses the entire Pokémon world, and he can't think of high learning efficiency without distractions.

Perhaps time is like quicksand, always flowing through your fingers inadvertently. Especially when you have a goal and you're busy about it, it's even faster.

In the blink of an eye, two years have passed......

This year, Sora was eight years old.

"Here's your diploma." The principal of Tokiwa Academy solemnly put a red certificate in his empty hand.

"Thank you, Headmaster." Sora took it with both hands, then bowed politely, and turned to leave.

"Kamio-san, please wait a moment." Before Sora walked out of the principal's office, the old headmaster, who had been in the same window with Oki Snow City and had decades of teaching experience, stopped him.

"Huh?" I didn't know what the old man was going to say, but it didn't hurt to listen.

The old principal looked at the youngest graduate since the founding of the school, and only felt that he had a calmness and wisdom that did not match his age. He had heard of this student for a long time, his parents were first-class researchers in the alliance, and his grandfather was the former owner of the Tokiwa City Gym, so it was not surprising that he had such talent, but because of this, he didn't want such a child to give up his studies early and enter society.

After saying a word, he said sincerely: "Forgive me for taking the liberty of doing anything, do you have any plans after graduation?" Your talent is so outstanding, why don't you study at Tokiwa Gakuin's High School? If you are not satisfied with the quality of our faculty, I am personally very willing to provide you with a letter of recommendation from a first-class university in Johto, Fangyuan, and even Sinnoh, and I am sure they will be willing to accept students like you. ”

"Heh~" Empty Wenyan smiled. He could tell that the old man was genuinely thinking about him, but there were some things about him that were really not suitable for publicity, such as the elven illustrated book in his trouser pocket, such as the ID on his alliance forum.

He calmed down the impatient Nana and said, "I have already discussed with Dr. Oki before, and after graduation, I will officially become his assistant, working and studying at the same time, and I may work in the direction of Dr. Elf or the leader of the gym in the future." But I assure you that I will never give up on my studies easily. ”

"I see, I'm overthinking." The old principal nodded with satisfaction, his heart is really an extraordinary thing, people have a plan for the future, and they don't need to worry about it at all.

"Where, thank you for your concern, I'm leaving." Nana on her shoulder was already urging, but Sora bowed again before leaving the principal's office.

Don't you know what is going on with the children in the anime who embark on a journey to collect illustrated books at the age of 10, and they don't need to learn? Where do the living expenses come from? Ph.D. funding or asking the family for it? Although 10 years old is indeed the minimum age that can be obtained for a trainer qualification certificate on the surface of the alliance, Kokong does not think that most children have enough self-care ability at this age, and it is a terrible thing to let them run around the world with elves.

Anyway, no matter what the others do, Sora doesn't plan to stop learning, he has been exposed to too much knowledge of the elven world in the past two years, which makes him very fascinated. He plans to get his trainer certification as soon as possible, and then use his own eyes to witness the beauty of the world as he travels.

……

Somewhere in the Tokiwa Forest.

"Nana, are you sure?" Sora asked his own elf that what was going to happen next was very dangerous.

"Bah!" Nana added, and replied with a serious look that it was okay for the master herself.

"Let's get started!" Seeing this, Sora no longer hesitated, but sat down cross-legged and held Nana in his arms. She has grown a lot in the past two years, and she has already weighed 15kg, but Sora has also grown, and her perennial practice not only makes his body look very symmetrical, but also greatly improves his physical fitness, which is already negligible, and Sora means that even if Nana's weight is doubled, it is nothing.

Nana leaned against her master's chest, which would make her feel at ease and more suitable for her skills. Then she closed her eyes and held her breath.

"Ho ho~" When Kong heard the Sun Elf's breathing gradually become rapid, he knew that Nana had used [Retribution] to unlock the "limiter" on his body.

This is an idea that Nana had when she was still Eevee, and she has finally entered the practical stage by strengthening other skills through the skill mechanism of [Returning Kindness] (unlocking the brain limiter). There is a reason why Sora has not dared to let Nana do this before, and it is true that unlocking the restrictions can indeed give you more power, but at the same time, the elves themselves have to bear huge pressure to match their strength, and what the consequences of doing this will be, just think about the dead King Nido.

It didn't take long for Nana's eyes to open. And what is amazing is that at this moment, not only is the gem on her forehead glowing, but even the pair of light purple pupils are shining brightly, looking very mysterious. Not only that, Nana's expression also faded. You must know that she usually looks cute and coquettish in front of the air, but at this moment she has no expression on her face, and she looks like a god who is not happy or angry.

But Sora was obviously not surprised, and he remained motionless in his original position, for fear of disturbing her. He knew that Nana's brain in this state was comparable to a supercomputer, and she would temporarily integrate most of the mental power in her brain, including the part that controls emotions and memories, so she would appear emotionless.

Just as he was thinking, a palpitating force swept through the empty body, enveloping him and Nana. The archer was sensitive to the movement of air, and the hairs on his body stood on end.

"Hum—" The air around them vibrated violently, making an unpleasant sound. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the nearby lawn was drawn out of many ravines of different depths by invisible forces, and this was only a small part of Nana's powerful spiritual power. In the past two years, the [Mindfulness] has been condensed into the [Mind] (Spiritual Strength).

Here it comes!

The next moment, a long-lost sense of oppression swept through Sora's body.

It's the same feeling again, it feels like the body is being stuffed into the water pipe. Although he couldn't breathe, he tried to calm himself down. After practicing arrows for more than two years, not to mention anything else, this concentration at this time alone is far beyond ordinary people.

"Whew!" One person and one pet disappeared in place.

Sora only felt that there was a flower in front of him, and the surrounding scene had changed greatly, and the sense of oppression on his body was gone.

"Success?" Sora slowly stood up, and Nana was carefully held in his arms. Because the duration of this [Thanks] state was very short, she didn't look too tired, but followed her master to look left and right.

Sora looked behind him from a distance, and there was no grass in a small circular area 50 meters away, which seemed a little abrupt, and that was where they had just been.

"It really worked! Awesome, Nana! Sora said excitedly. Nana's [Teleportation] had fallen into a bottleneck a year ago, and he could only move objects twice his size, so he considered whether the maximum output of spiritual power would not be enough, but at that time, the research of [Returning Kindness] was not yet mature, so he didn't dare to try it randomly. Now it seems that my speculation is completely correct, and after unlocking the "limiter", the output limit has also been increased.

Feeling that he had more means to save his life, he scratched Nana's little nose and encouraged: "Add dinner in the evening." ”

"Babble~" Nana shook her head, stretched out her paw and patted her master's palm.

"Okay, plus a full body massage~" How can Kong not understand what she means.

"Bah~" Nana rubbed her master's chest affectionately to express her satisfaction.
