Shintaro's Growth as a Boy 002(1/2)
My name is Yusa Shintaro, I am ten years old and a new trainer from Joban City.
I was born in an ordinary family with ordinary parents, and I started my journey as a trainer normally on January 1st this year. But——
Where I am now is anything but ordinary.
Ever since I was sent to this "flying land" by my unscrupulous father, my life has become a mess. Oh, the ordinary trip I want is not like this...
However, fortunately, this suspected evil villain organization called "The Shining Society" is not as scary as I imagined. At least judging from my experience in the past few days...
This seems to be similar to the Trainer Training Academy?
After being arranged into a two-person dormitory, Shintaro received a curriculum. The familiar subject arrangement made Shintaro suddenly think that he was back in elementary school.
It was in vain that he anxiously imagined a lot of scary and mysterious plots. In fact, this was just a somewhat special training academy for trainers.
This land flying in the sky is called "Sky Land", and it is also the headquarters of the Shining Society. Sky Land is divided into eight parts, all of which are named by colors - the seven colors of the rainbow and white.
The Kouki Academy where Shintaro is located is located in the red area on the edge. To enter other areas, you need to pass through the communication bridge, and only those holding a pass can be allowed to pass by the guard. However, Shintaro is not interested in the scenery in other areas, although he is somewhat concerned about the so-called Kouki Association.
What kind of organization it is, but it is limited to the extent of curiosity and imagination.
He wouldn't dare take any big risks in a place like this.
Suddenly coming to a completely unfamiliar place full of weird chuuni colors, it is impossible not to be afraid. Fortunately - Shintaro has a good roommate.
[March 7, 1000, 7:31 in the morning, Konglu Red Zone, backyard of student dormitory]
"Squirtle, spin at high speed!" Shintaro's voice was urgent.
The small water-colored turtle spins lightly, flying in the sky in the radiance of the morning sun. Sparks are flying all over the sky, and Squirtle dodges left and right among them, like a nimble little loach.
Opposite him, a young man with short, flame-colored hair smiled and gave instructions.
"Fire beast, flame wheel."
The boy's voice is not like Shintaro's, but has the crispness of a child whose voice has not changed. Vigorous and calm, two completely different feelings merge into his voice, which is as bright and energetic as the rising sun.
The monster bathed in flames let out a deafening roar. It was also the same action of spinning itself, but the power of Firestorm's flame wheel was much more powerful than that of Squirtle. In just a moment, the figure of the little turtle was engulfed in flames.
"Stop it!"
The boy called back the Firebolt in time. On the other side, Squirtle had fainted on the ground. However, because the Firebolt was very measured, Squirtle only suffered some skin trauma due to the impact.
Treatment can restore your spirit.
"Ah haha... I lost again as expected." Shintaro scratched his head, "Thank you for your trouble, Kazuhiko-senpai."
"The evasive action just now was great." The boy known as "Kazuhiko-senpai" gave Shintaro a thumbs up, his tone full of encouragement.
"You have made such progress in less than a week after coming here. You are actually very good. Be more confident, Xiaozhen!"
"Well, thank you, I will try my best."
The boy's name is Takeuchi Kazuhiko [takeuchi_kazuhiko], he is fourteen years old and is Shintaro's roommate. His short flame-red hair and bright golden eyes make him look sunny and cheerful, and in fact he is.
As a senior who came to Kouki Academy half a year ago, Kazuhiko provided a lot of help to Shintaro. The guidance battle every morning was also one of the "help from seniors". Meeting such a friendly senior when he was uneasy really made Shintaro happy.
I lament my few blessings.
Although he looks like a reckless and passionate young man, Kazuhiko does possess the stability and calmness unique to his seniors. This feeling——
Just like the person I admire.
"Let's go, it's time to go to class."
"Ah, yes!"
The two teenagers carried their backpacks and hurried out the door.
Like ordinary trainer training academies, Kouki Academy has fixed classes from Monday to Friday. Shintaro and Kazuhiko are in different grades, so they are separated in front of the teaching building.
What, it turns out he just wants me to come to school. Dad really can’t explain clearly...
Habitually muttering, Shintaro walked into the classroom without stopping.
He had to say something about a behemoth that the alliance was afraid of, and I thought I was going to be a villain.
There are more than thirty students in Shintaro's class, all of whom are teenagers. In such a collective environment, Shintaro naturally becomes an inconspicuous little transparent, sitting calmly in the corner of the classroom.
Several people around the seat had exchanged names, and they were barely acquaintances, but the relationship was not very close - everything was as familiar and ordinary as Shintaro's elementary school life.
[March 7, 1000, 12:30 noon, Konglu Red District, Fountain Square]
Theory class, history class, and then practical class. The ordinary morning passed. As usual, Shintaro bought a sandwich at the canteen and went to the college's fountain square to have a quiet meal.
The Fountain Square was always very quiet during lunch break, with almost no students lingering around, just as Shintaro wanted.
...But you might get pestered by strange children.
After looking at the child who appeared next to him for half a minute, Shintaro finally couldn't hold back the sour feeling and rubbed his eyes, "Okay, you win this game without blinking..."
The little boy tilted his head, as if he didn't quite understand what Shintaro was talking about.
"Hey...where are you from? You shouldn't be a student here, right?" Putting down the half-eaten sandwich, Shintaro looked at the little guy in front of him.
With smooth purple hair shawl and big round golden eyes, he is probably only seven or eight years old from his height. The child's pink and jade-carved face looks particularly cute, but it was him who caught Shintaro's attention.
of dress.
What, is this...a magician's outfit?
No, no, a magician wouldn't wear a pointed hat like this. He might as well be a magician. And his cloak... it's all dragged to the ground. Does he really not fall down when he walks?
"I'm not a student." The little boy replied crisply, "I am the manager of the Purple Group of the Shining Society."
"……ha?"
After being stunned for three seconds, Shintaro suddenly realized, "Oh, that's it! You are so powerful, you are the manager of the purple group!"
As expected, I am just a child. When I was a child, I often imagined that I was the boss of the xx organization.
But this kid is really cute - let’s not expose his setting here like a boring adult.
Hey, speaking of it, purple group manager... have you heard a similar term recently?
...I can’t remember, forget it, it must be an illusion.
"You don't need to call me adult." The child waved his hands seriously, "Just call me by my name. I'm Divi, what about you?"
"I am Yusa Shintaro, please give me your advice."
"Please give me some advice. Shintaro, can I try this?"
"...Huh?" The target is actually my sandwich! "Well...it's not impossible, but you have to call me brother."
"Brother Shintaro, can I try this?"
"Yeah, okay!"
Holding the sandwich and eating it bite by bite, Diwei narrowed his eyes with satisfaction, "I haven't been to the red area for a long time. I originally wanted to find someone to play with... but after waiting for a long time, no one came here."
"I'm still here, right?" Shintaro pointed to himself with a smile, silently ordering wax for his lunch.
But as expected, this child is so cute, and the way he eats is so cute. Hehehe, it’s just a lunch, it’s worth it!
...Hey, did I turn on a strange switch?
"Well." Divi nodded, looked at Shintaro with round eyes, mouth full of food, and said vaguely, "Shintaro, you look nothing like Kenichi."
"So you want to call me brother...eh?"
Wait, did I hear a familiar name just now?
No, no, I must have heard wrong.
How could dad's name appear at this time, and he heard it from this little kid?
That's right, it's impossible.
While Shintaro was frantically scrolling through the screen and hypnotizing himself, Divi swallowed the last bite of the sandwich and said, "Hey, Shintaro, come play with me. I finally came here..."
Shintaro couldn't bear to see the child's aggrieved look. Seeing this, he even forgot to correct Divi's name and immediately patted his chest, "Okay, no problem! Brother will have a good time with you!"
"Great!" The little boy with purple hair and golden eyes laughed, "Then - I'm on it!"
"Eh? I'm on it?...Ahhhhh wait!"
It's a pity that Shintaro's lament was half a beat late, and the second half of the sentence was even submerged in the cold water.
With his head of wet brown hair, Shintaro was still a little confused.
Play... So I meant playing with water!
"What's wrong?" The little boy who had jumped into the fountain tilted his head in confusion, his clothes already completely soaked by the water.
"No...nothing!"
Shintaro wiped his face heroically, "Here I come! Watch my moves!"
Wow——
"Pffrrrr... Shintaro, you have a great skill! I won't lose either!"
"It's too early to be proud, look at my water pressure cannon——"
