Today, my father finally took his last breath, and although I was very sad, I never cried. Because my father said that a man cannot cry easily, even in a place where there is no one.

My name is Shaoqi, and my name was given to me by my father, and I can't remember the meaning clearly, after all, I am not like my father, I have learned so much knowledge and understood so many truths.

Iwamura, a very ordinary rural village in the city, this is where I was born, the reason why Iwamura is called Iwamura is because it is very poor, only stones are poor, even elves are rare, but fortunately, the land has not been completely abandoned, so you can still grow some food, so that the villagers will not starve to death.

There is no fairy center, no police, not even a decent shop, and although there are more than 100 people, everyone is a native farmer...... Except for my father.

I heard from other villagers that my father was originally a cadre of the Elf Alliance, but later I don't know why I came to the village, married my mother, and then stayed in the village.

Oh, forgot to mention, my mother was gone a long time ago, although she was the most beautiful woman in the village.

I hadn't met my mother, and I don't have any memory of it, but since my father said so, I had no reason to doubt it.

His father was the only intellectual in the village, and even if he was not a cadre of the Elf Alliance, the spiritual wealth he possessed was enough for him to achieve a certain status in the village.

Unfortunately, my father didn't seem to have subdued any of the elves.

Genie...... What does it look like?

Growing up in the village, I saw only flying finches and rats stealing food.

My father said that those who can fly are called "flaming birds", and those who steal food are called "little Lada".

Elves are not the same beings as us, but they have more than a hundred categories. I'm curious, what kind of power do they have?

My father once said that things that humans can't do can be easily solved by relying on their strength.

That little mouse? The kind of finch that can only fly?

I don't believe it, but I can't find a reason to question it.

Until that day, an outsider came to the village.

I heard from the village chief that the man had come to find his father to go back.

He brought me a lot of things I hadn't seen and a lot of things to eat. But that's not what interests me the most, yes...... I really wanted to know what that little red ball was hanging from his waist.

Poké Balls, a tool used to capture elves, and when I learned about its function, I begged my father to ask for one for me.

My father was unlikely to say yes, but I knew that if I didn't ask, I wouldn't have a chance.

My father was silent, neither agreeing nor objecting, which disappointed me, and I was even unable to work for a while.

Wooden houses, land, stones, that's all I saw in my childhood. There are no exceptions, and there will be no exceptions.

I thought it was supposed to be like this.

Until that day, I went to collect firewood outside the village.

It was a passing traveler, presumably wrestling with a rock.

It's not quite right to say it's a rock, I think it's called..."Rumble Stone", right?

Anyway, the brightly dressed woman fought with the rock for a long time, and released a fire-breathing dragon (lizard?). ), but still failed to subdue it with the Poké Ball.

Poké Balls, yes...... That's why I'm staying. I don't know if it was the favor of God, but after a long time of failing to achieve results, the woman finally couldn't hold her breath and stomped her feet and left.

I waited there for a long time, and only slowly walked out after Rumble Stone had also left.

The woman was gone, but there were two Poké Balls, which she had forgotten.

Maybe she didn't forget, she just didn't want to bend down to pick it up.

I was in a very good mood and it was also a rare day since my father was seriously ill.

Soon after, I used it to subdue a guy like no other.

Brown striped fur, bear-like elf.

Based on the fact that I have never seen this kind of guy before, I narcissistically think...... It is a rarity.

I found out how to use Poké Balls in my father's book, and although the process was difficult, it didn't bother me. I even started reading other materials. Because I have a hunch that maybe I'll use these things one day.

So, after my father's death, I finally stood at the crossroads of my life.

The village chief told me that the tasks that should have been in charge of my father during his lifetime could be completely entrusted to me. As soon as I am an adult, I will be the second person after him.

Without hesitation, I rejected the village chief.

I don't want to stay in Iwamura for the rest of my life, even though I know I can live well here.

My father once said that the most painful thing in a person's life is not that you can't see the future, but that you see it, but you have to follow it.

I saw in my father a microcosm of the future. So, I set fire to everything my father left behind.

The house was warm and the food was satisfying, but I didn't want to leave myself a little way out. Because if man is inert, he will lose his way.

In the ashes, I found a stainless steel box with three Poké Balls lying inside

I think that's probably ...... The answer my father gave me.

With the snake bear and three empty balls, I left Iwamura.

If you don't have food, you eat weeds, and if you don't have a place to stay, you just find a place to lie down.

But without money, everything gets serious.

I don't need money, but it seems like people outside the village need it.

Luckily, I still have a stainless steel box and sold it...... With the strength of this body, I can also earn some.

Part-time jobs seem to be what I'm doing right now.

Colorful clothes, young and beautiful men and women, and a picture scroll that is completely different from the village unfolded in front of my eyes.

Only in that moment, I was very sure that I had not chosen the wrong path.

Money is a necessary resource to enter the world outside the village, it can be exchanged for food, it can be exchanged for clothes, and more importantly..... In exchange for the future.

In the process of working part-time, I carefully collected information.

I don't want to be adrift for the rest of my life, so a good place to go is key.

So, I knew...... Royal Academy.

If I had to choose, why wouldn't I choose the best?

I have nothing, so I don't have anything to lose.

When the admissions season came, I got a job early on in the vicinity of that place, and by the way, I was able to gather information and save money for travel.

The first university, since it enjoys the title of the first, will be different. I didn't seem to meet the criteria for the pre-selection, so I was brushed off early.

I don't know skills, I can only go on a rampage, and my snake bear may seem too vulgar to them.

I can't just have one elf...... That's when I came to such a conclusion.

Although it fails, as long as you persevere, there is always a chance. So, I started the next round of my journey.

I still have too many shortcomings, too much to work on, and before the next exam, I must have enough capital to be selected for the Royal Academy.

League Tournament... I wanted to participate, but I gave up because of my origins and the time and cost of participating.

I had to survive before I could think about anything else. One after another, I was able to meet all kinds of trainers, but the costly journey was not destined to belong to me.

Part-time job, training on the way to part-time job, continuing to work, continuing to train... Life is like a cycle, round after round.

It wasn't until 12 months passed that I had gradually become familiar with me outside the village, and I was ready again.

The serpentine bear has completed its evolution, and I've learned from my travels that it's not a rare elf.

But what does it matter?

No, it's better to say that this answer is reassuring.

It's the same as me, it's not brilliant.

Because it's ordinary, that's why it's possible.

I don't know those skills, but I can learn them, and if I can't match them in skills, then I'll win the collision.

I can, so my snake bear can.

Because, it is my elf, it is my companion.

Admissions season is destined to be a time to consume resources.

I spent a third of my savings in exchange for a ticket to the wild zone, because I heard that there are strong flying elves here who can gallop in the wind.

Flying elves, if you get it, then the journey is much simpler.

The ticket was limited to one and a half hours, and I didn't find the genie I was looking for until the end.

The newborn eaglet has not yet grown up, and the feathers on its forehead are still immature.

There was only one reason for choosing it, and it was small enough.

Because he is young, he has a future; Because of his young age, the difficulty of accepting it is relatively low.

After all, I don't have any extra money left for a second ticket.

Thirty makeshift orbs consumed nearly twenty before it was subdued.

It's such a stubborn little guy, I don't know why, I seem to see my own shadow in it.

The rest of the time, in addition to asking for information as usual, I also spent most of the rest of the money to buy a training outfit.

Even though I knew I wouldn't be able to wear such a useless outfit on a regular basis, I needed it to support the scene. I've been here for a long time, and I know it very well.

No one wants to talk to a dirty guy.

- You can not be outstanding, but you must not be too down.

It's still a repetitive process, it's still the most direct battle, and even after a year, my strength has grown a lot, and I haven't been able to get to the end.

But as long as you don't get knocked out of the fame extra, then there is a chance.

As the days passed, I became nervous as I rarely gotten. It's very strange, obviously I shouldn't have this kind of emotion, I thought I was gradually maturing, but it turned out that I still had a lot of shortcomings.

"Tsk...... Is it not me this time? ”

"Don't be angry, there are still a lot of people in front of you, you look at the previous one, just one person was missing, hehe~ It's called 'Shaoqi', it's really sad"

I didn't look at the charts because I didn't feel the need to move forward when I heard the voices in the crowd.

Pain, but no return, the city, although more than a hundred times larger than Iwamura, cannot accommodate a single person who fails.

I finally understood why my father chose to stay in Iwamura and refuse to return to the city.

There are many multiple-choice questions in a person's life, and whether to stay or not is perhaps the second multiple-choice question for me.

However, this is not a problem. Because I have seen the answer to a certain option in my father's body.

"I can't lose here, there's no way back, can I?"

It seemed that after making a choice, I was a lot more relaxed, and I was about to pack my bags and prepare to leave when I was stopped in the hall.

It was a man about two meters tall, his rough skin was probably caused by years of fighting, and even his face had many wounds, although he had been cleaned up, he still left a lot of marks.

By the way, it seems that he was there yesterday, but seeing that the examiners are all standing behind him, I guess...... It's a big shot.

"Candidate No. 103, Shao Qi...... Can I call you that? ”

Although he looked vicious, the man in front of him didn't seem to have a hard time communicating, he asked.

"Ah, yes"

Even after a period of training, I still rarely communicate with characters of this level, and before I knew it, I became nervous.

"Let me introduce myself first, the contemptible is a teacher in the battle branch of the Royal Academy, jackal" The man continued, and took the materials handed by the examiner on the left, "I have watched yesterday's game and your information, so I have a question for you"

There is indeed room in the words, but look at the appearance of this adult...... Is it to get an answer anyway?

"Yesterday's last game, before your elf fell, why didn't you use the potion?"

The jackal asked, the tryouts of the Royal Academy are different from the Elven Alliance, after all, it is a test based on actual combat, so it is not forbidden to use a certain amount of auxiliary tools, but the guy in front of him seems to be an exception, except for two or three bandages, he has basically not been seen to use any drugs.

"Elixir?" I smiled, "How can I have the money to buy that kind of thing, the only healing pill allowed in the tryouts, but it costs 9,800 yuan?" ”

"Puff~"

In a moment, everyone in the hall laughed, maybe they thought it was a joke, maybe they hadn't seen such a strange person, maybe...

But the jackals didn't have the same thing as them, with ... The crowd that sensed the teacher's reaction also slowly fell silent, waiting for his speech.

"If you can afford that white skin, why don't you have a little more on consumables?" The jackal said lightly, raising the materials in his hand, "I think if you have scarce resources in your hands, you should see what clearly... It's a necessity."

The white skin naturally refers to the trainer's outfit on the body.

That's right, if I don't buy it, I do have enough money to buy the medicine.

Thinking like this, my gaze gradually drifted away, and I stopped looking at him. I don't like the feeling of being seen through, it's uncomfortable.

"The Royal Trainer is different from the Elven Alliance elite, and the actual combat potion may be able to save your life," the jackal continued, saying something that everyone present didn't quite understand, but then he explained the reason.

"In this season, there is one person in this division who cannot enter the Royal Academy due to physical reasons, so the ranking of the next 100 will rise in turn. Based on the fact that you are the trainer closest to the par line, I ask you now"

Everyone in the audience couldn't help but breathe rapidly, and I seemed to be able to read the emotions in their eyes, jealousy, envy, and unwillingness.

This feeling is not uncomfortable.

It's a pity that the examiner in front of me didn't ask the question I imagined.

"If you had to choose again, would you still put on a white skin?"

......

Suddenly, there was silence, and even I was very confused in the room, but then... I instinctively replied,

"Since I'm all on, I haven't thought about taking it off. I'll make people remember that this guy in a white coat is a very strong trainer! ”

After answering, there was a moment of hesitation, because I wasn't sure if my answer would satisfy the guy. Tsk, sure enough, I'm not a good thinker, I should think more.

"It's not a standard answer, but it's qualified," Jackal handed the material back to the examiner, and then continued, "Then there is only one last question left, Candidate 103 Shaoqi, would you like to enroll in the Royal Academy?" ”

"Ah, of course"

The wind, the stream of the storm, the stream of the storm that tore through the dark aura of the ghost, wrapped around the body, shattering the white coat.

"Tsk, it's so broken" Shao in the fierce battle came back to his senses, frowned and pulled the torn clothes, and said to the ghost warrior not far away, "This clothes are very expensive, you have to compensate me well"

This guy, just for a piece of clothing? The ghost soldier asked himself if he couldn't be wrong, the trainer in front of him was really angry for a piece of clothing, was it worth it?

Ghoststone's hands flipped up and down, catching the leaping bear at breakneck speed, narrowly brushing its skin several times.

Even if it hasn't healed from a serious injury, it can still keep its opponent down.

"Although it is true that elves with strong fighting intent may harm ghost-type elves, your elves are still a lot worse," the ghost man sneered, "It won't be long before it will be as tattered as your clothes."

His body began to sway, as if he was physically exhausted, and Shao Qi's appearance was already at the end of a strong crossbow in the eyes of the ghost warrior, but he was about to make a mockery but he heard a wail, and when he turned around, he saw an impossible situation.

The angled ghost claws are still rushing in all directions, but it is difficult to catch the white light and shadow, not because the speed of the ghost stone is slow, so-

"The senior said, hard work can't rely on the body alone, then I have to use my brain occasionally" Shao Qi has completely paralyzed on the ground, but the smile is still the same, "I have been practicing double forging for a long time, and I always feel that this skill seems to have other uses, and my seniors have gained a lot of benefits from this skill." Well, the other way around... Through this connection, my elves should be able to get something from me. ”

The slender body gradually elongated, and the trajectory of the straight bear gradually merged with the wind, and the soaring air waves seemed to indicate some kind of further evolution.

In the shadows of the trees, Ghost Stone, who was no longer able to catch his opponent, looked around left and right, but could only be scarred by the white light and shadow that came from nowhere.

"This is?!" The ghost warrior was surprised, "Speed?!" How is it possible, just this kind of ubiquitous elf, unexpectedly...? ”

With a calm face, the ghost man snorted coldly, "Since that's the case, let's give the trainer first"

Thinking like this, the ghost man stepped forward in a few steps, rushing towards the movement and unable to move,

"Roar!"

After a wail, there was no more ghost stone sound in the ears of the ghost man, and a lot of cold sweat was born on his back,

"It's a pity," the guy who was close at hand laughed heartlessly, "I won"

There was a sharp pain in his back, and the vision of the ghost warrior gradually blurred...
