Chapter 2 How to Wake Up a Sleeping Dog

"Mr. Yanagida, I should have said many times, don't bring snacks into the training ground without permission." Yoshitaka reprimanded with a little unpleasantness.

The metal ceiling above his head silently opened a door just big enough for a person to enter and exit, and even a thin young man wearing only a slipper vest and pants jumped in, and his heteromorphized right ankle could be seen, and he lifted his slightly funny black-rimmed round glasses: "Oops! But we don't have anything to do here every day, so it's okay to relax a little, right? The one over there, yes, that's you, come here. He stretched out his hand and beckoned Quan Huangbo to come forward and look up and down, his eyes were so dense that Quan Huangbo couldn't help but shudder, "Don't be afraid of me, Quan!" We have long since ...... your information The person in charge received it. We are the head of the training ground here, Kyotaro Yanagida, you can call us whatever you want! This is the messenger who came in the same batch as you, and it's not much different from your age. Let's get to know each other! ”

Only then did the Paper Ancestor Asuka turn his attention from the co-crystals who were eyeing him to Izumi Arabo, and the giant axe in his hand slowly faded away, and even the last trace of crimson crystals slowly sank into his palm, and he stretched out his hand to Izumi Arabo. His face looked a little unkind, and the smile he showed when he fought was still on his face, which made people look uncomfortable: "You're Quan, right?" I'm Paper Ancestor Flying Bird, I'm your senior, don't think about surpassing me? I'm very strong. ”

Izumi frowned and stared at the hand that had been holding the weapon just now, and finally reached over and shook his hand. Yanagida Keitaro sighed, and his helpless expression was unobstructed: "Be kind to newcomers!" Okay Commander, you're almost done, aren't you? Can I go back now? We don't like to be stared at work—"

"There's a document to report from headquarters." Yoshitaka nodded, looking particularly dissatisfied with Yanagida Kyotaro's tone, and added, "But I'll keep an eye on this place at all times, and ask you to work hard, and if I find out that you're doing something irrelevant one more time, then I'll transfer you to the third floor to be in charge of equipment adjustment." So, I'll go first, Araba, stay safe. ”

It wasn't until her figure was blocked by the closed elevator door that the person in charge who was named and criticized breathed a sigh of relief and stuck her tongue out in that direction: "If you can find the second person who understands Aoi's instrument, you can change us casually!" ”

Paper Ancestor Asuka glanced at him: "Mr. Yanagida, there is surveillance here." ”

"Whatever, we can only stay here for the rest of our lives anyway! When you can't be a messenger, hurry up and take our place, we really can't stay in this place! Every day, you have to clean up the abnormal crystals that may overflow, and you have to deal with those leaders! Kyotaro Yanagida spread out his hand and slapped his palm again as if he remembered something, "Ahhhhhhh Straight to the point! If you're okay, go back first, Izumi wants to train here briefly, and if the results are good, let him go on patrol with Mendechel. Okay, now that you're here, we've received your Isomorph stats, and it's pretty much fine, but it shouldn't have progressed to the point where you can craft weapons at that time...... Yes, close your eyes, take a deep breath, and imagine that you are in a very dangerous situation where the slightest mistake could kill you...... Then bring together the emotions you generate to the place where you are isomorphized...... Still, it's weird, how I can't see that place. ”

"It's blocked, can't you see?" The paper ancestor bird casually leaned against the wall with his arms crossed, and slammed mercilessly against a spider-shaped crystalline with human limbs.

Izumi slowly stepped into the middle of the training ground, took a deep breath, and slowly closed his eyes. ...... very dangerous situation? From being adopted by Quan Jun in an orphanage to having to live in the outer circle of Canaan because of his status as an emissary, waiting for the day when he was ordered to fight officially by the base, he never seemed to encounter any danger, except for that ...... Familiar and strange scenes flashed in front of him again, the pungent smell of the reagent being knocked over and the human beings who fled in all directions but were still assimilated beyond recognition by the same crystal, unable to distinguish who was who, wreaked havoc on the third floor, and even broke the floor on the fourth floor; He couldn't move, he couldn't escape, and his body filled with fear couldn't even move a finger. The monster soon spotted him, and on each side of the icosahedral crystals were countless human beings whose faces were twisted and struggling, some of whom had not even been fully assimilated, struggling to shake the body that had not yet become a lens to no avail, and the place that could be called the mouth was hollowed, gradually approaching the spring barren wave. He wanted to run away, he wanted to drive those trembling legs, but the truth was that he couldn't even make a sound.

“…… Quick, run. ”

He heard such a weak reply.

Izumi raised his head in disbelief to look at it, or the countless "them" in "it", those people had been completely invaded by the anomaly, their eyes were empty, and they remained as they should have been in the last moments of their lives. Before he could comprehend the meaning of the words, his body suddenly retreated and retreated, and the pain and popping sensation spread through his body. Countless cracks burst through the coquin's body, and the diamond-shaped crystals that flew out of it struck him with a slam on the wall, and his vision dimmed one after another,......

He snapped his eyes open.

There was something as painful as when he was attacked, but unlike what Yoshitaka and Yanagida Kyotaro said, it was more of a confusion and fear of something than the persistence of wanting to live. He felt a tingling in his eyes, and the front of him was so blurred by the goggles...... He simply took off the goggles with his trembling fingertips, revealing the eyes—crystal-shaped eyes filled in pure blue.

"So it's the eye?!" Kyotaro Yanagida exclaimed. Paper Ancestor Asuka did not change his smile, but slowly straightened up, not forgetting to make up for the same crystal behind him.

Izumi didn't seem to be able to hear the outside at all, and his ears were occupied by the faint and immature voice urging him to flee. All the excess emotions were absorbed by the crystals there, and they flowed in his body arbitrarily, making his already trembling body more and more uncontrollable. A burst of blue light pierced his body. Where the light appeared, something slowly crawled out of his chest and fell to the ground. The worm-like bounce of the thing on the ground a few times, and its form gradually became clear...... It was a blue chain. More chains crawled out of his chest and slipped behind him, and he regained a little sense, and looked down at what he might call a "weapon", and the chains slid in the same place as he lowered his head—but not as he wished, the paper ancestor bird instantly came to him from the wall just now, and flew an axe at him. Izumi snorted, and the chains converged in one place to wrap around the giant axe, and at the same time, another chain stretched out from his chest to wrap around the hand of the paper ancestor bird.

The paper ancestor Asuka smiled even harder to the point that it felt a little rampant, and before he could wrap it, he grabbed the head of the chain and twisted it in the opposite direction, and took a few steps back to retract the giant axe. The chains are constantly flowing in the training ground, and they are still increasing. The Paper Ancestor Asuka made the Great Axe again, but this time he didn't fight back, instead throwing it straight into the air. The sound of shattering reverberated throughout the small underground, and the giant axe turned into thousands of fragments and struck the spring barren waves. Izumi quickly raised his chain to block, but the small fragments could not be blocked no matter what, and there were still some blows on his body. This is far from the end. The sound of rustling came from behind him, and the shattered debris gathered again and quickly again, about to be combined into a complete axe......

"Wait, Paper Ancestor, don't use that trick! Even if it's testing newcomers, you're going too far! ”

The crumbs failed to assemble, but were quickly slapped to the ground by an octopus-shaped coquin, picked up one by one, and thrown in the face of the paper ancestor. The latter muttered for a while, slowly retracting the debris into his body, he slowly stepped forward, and commented with a smile while showing his empty hands to Izumi Araha: "The speed is good, the aggression feels a little worse, and it feels like it's more suitable for fighting than direct combat." ”

“…… Thanks a lot. Izumi withdrew his chains and nodded.

"Looks good! Compared to other newcomers, you have done a good job, don't care about this guy Paperzu, he has no morals. Kyotaro Yanagida walked between the two of them with the octopus (who was staring at Asuka with the paper ancestor), "Do you feel any discomfort?" Let's see you just looked terrible. But...... It turns out that the part of your isomorphism is your eyes, which look so beautiful. ”

Izumi Huangbo turned his face away, and stretched out a small chain from his palm: "Thank you." Nothing. …… That, ...... that trick you mean? ”

"That's my forte! You see, if the axe that I broke was restored on both sides, it would definitely end up being a whole thing, right? Paper Zu gestured, his two index fingers together, "Then your body will be penetrated!" It's handsome, right, I often use this trick against those cozycorns!! I've put water on you to make it slower down, Mr. Yanagida, stupid! “

“…… What should I do if I have an accident with this trick for newcomers?? He finally woke up, huh?? Keitaro Yanagida slapped the octopus on the face of Asuka Paper, "I'm sorry, that's the kind of character that guy is." But it's really okay to look at it this way, and I'll call him over to discuss it when Mendevilel comes back in a moment. “

"But ......! Huh?! Really?! I want to team up with him too!! Don't you think the two of us have a tacit understanding? Right, Araba-kun? The paper ancestor Asuka reluctantly pulled the octopus off his face and threw it to the side to smash it with an axe.

…… Izumi shook his head expressionlessly, pressed a few buttons and put on his goggles again.
