"First meeting... Well, it's not the first time, we've met many times... I'm Hector Shadow, Hector Parr's guardian beast," a squinting man with glasses smiled at another squinting man with glasses, "In the future, please advise." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"That's... What the hell is going on with you?" Yu Ping asked the 'two' Hector standing in front of him with a painful face, "Twins, even have the same name, and they are still guardian beasts?"

"Are you an existence similar to a 'changeling'?" After the initial shock, Sharyl seemed to understand something, and said slowly, "Hector, your guardian beast should be the kind of extremely rare magical beast that can change its own form. ”

"Yes, Lord Sharyl," both Hectors replied in unison, and then the squinting eyes of the self-identified Hector Shadow bowed to the body and slowly disappeared in place, leaving only one sentence, "So... I'll retire first... Let our Lord answer your doubts. ”

"Just as you think, Lord Sharyl," Hector slowly explained patiently to the still confused crowd after his 'clone' had completely disappeared, "My guardian beast... That is, another 'I', whose race is a dark elemental lifeform known as the 'Shadow Walker'. ”

"The essence of this strange creature is a mass of darkness... But they can transform into anything they've ever seen, not much different in size from themselves..."He paused, looked at the strange eyes of the crowd and added, "Of course... It's just the same appearance. ”

“... You actually made your guardian beast look like yourself, and gave it the same name as yourself?" Yu Ping looked at Hector with strange eyes and said, "You... There's no special perverted hobby, right?"

The eyes of the others who looked at Hector turned terribly when they heard this... And they all took a few steps back in silence.

"I don't have what you call a 'special perverted hobby'... There's a reason why I made the shadows look like me," Hector didn't care about the other people's gaze at him, and explained lightly, "Because under the form of 'me', the shadows can become stronger... The shadow that has just been summoned is very fragile. ”

At this point, he paused, as if recalling something, before continuing: "At that time, it was almost like a slime made of dark elementals... Aside from transformation, there is hardly any combat ability. ”

"And then... After a period of growth, it instinctively became what I was... After that, I had a bold idea...", Hector's expression became strange.

"Since Shadow can't rely on the ontological racial talent to grow on its own, or if the growth rate is too slow... Then it's good to make it stronger through training..."

"So, from that day on, I kept Shadow in my 'me' form, and trained him in the same way that my family trained 'me', and eventually..."

“... He became another 'me', and with the help of his own talents, he was even stronger than me... And Hector Shadow is also the name of his own choice. ”

“... I see, but I still have a question... How did you just make An Jie do that kind of stupid behavior?" Ollie, the unhappy little man who had already woken up, was no longer silent, and asked, "Although An Jie's race should indeed be considered a canine... But how can he say that he can't help but chase after the stick when he sees it, and then he takes it back, okay?!

The cute little boy in his arms, who had turned into a human form, heard his master's question, and looked angrily at Hector, who had a strange smile on his face, waiting for his explanation.

"About that action... It's just a matter of handing it out to see how that cute little dog will react..."Looking at everyone's puzzled eyes, Hector didn't sell much, and slowly explained: "Before throwing out the scabbard of that short sword (the thing in the space bag, this is the rod~), the shadow has already sneaked behind you, and at that time you were actually defeated... However, I wanted to defeat you myself, so through some channel that I needed to keep secret, I had Shadow activate one of his racial talents, 'Position Swap', replace my body behind you, and then stun you..."

"As for that, because after the replacement, the shadow that went to the previous location of my main body naturally became An Jie's target... However, the shadow is an 'elemental lifeform', and although he has almost completely become another 'me', it naturally does not have the 'body odor' of flesh and blood creatures..."

At this point, Ollie seems to understand what Hector means...

"So, An Jie, who mainly relied on the 'sense of smell' to chase you, was thrown by that 'shadow' and carried the 'smell' of your body, and the scabbard was driven by instinct to ignore the target standing in front of you, and instead chased after that scabbard?"

"No! The 'smell' on the thing I was chasing at that time was very strong! It was definitely not the residual body odor on a scabbard..."An Jie immediately rejected Ollie's speculation, and said angrily: "The smell on that thing is exactly the same as yours... And even a little thicker! What the hell are you throwing away?"

Once again, the crowd looked curiously at Hector, whose smirk seemed to have become a little stronger.

"I refuse to answer the answer to this question," Hector said lightly, "'I'... Or rather, the shadow is indeed throwing out the scabbard, but in order to increase the success rate of this hand, I just put something on it... As for what it is, it's better that you don't know..."

Not far away, the voices of other students in the training ground were heard, speaking the answer to the question he was unwilling to answer.

"Eh, why is there a black scabbard here? Who dropped it?"

"Well~ there's a red cloth on the scabbard... This shape... Who put a pair of big red panties on the scabbard?"

“... So, at that time, what I smelled was..."The cute little boy An Jie's face was blue and white.

The others also silently moved a few steps away from Hector.

"Hehe... Wisdom comes from urgency... Don't care..."

(To explain here, at the time of 'phase swap', the shadow gets Hector's big red panties X1)

“... Please come with me to the Wind and Discipline Society," Vena said coldly to Hector, "you have violated St. Finland's rules on public order and good morals..."

"That's... I didn't let anyone else see it, so it shouldn't matter, right?"

"Please put on your panties before you talk to me!

Vina looked at the garbage.

That night, in Yu Ping's (and Shanna's) room...

"Now... The number of people is already there..."Yu Ping lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling, muttering to himself: "Then, next, just blow up the other preliminary competition places... Be one of the three teams to represent the Academy, and you're good to go... Right?"

"Yes, with the quality and squad we have now... It's not hard to accomplish this, as long as there aren't too many problems. Sitting at the table by the window, the silver-haired girl who was reading some kind of 18X reading book by the soft light emitted by the magic crystal lamp on the table agreed faintly, and said, "Shouldn't your goal be the overall champion of that academy's qualifying competition?"

"Well~ you have to come step by step..."Yu Ping said with a smile: "Then, let's become the number one team in this St. Finland first!"

“... IMHO, being the number one team in this academy is just as difficult as becoming the overall champion of the team competition in the official qualifying round," Shanna added lightly: "Because... The biggest obstacle for us to become champions is also in this academy..."

"I know..."Yu Ping interrupted the girl's words, and said in a confident tone, "But ah, I don't think we're going to lose to them... He who once defeated my lord..."

"Morning Light Squad!"
