However, after being teased like this by his friends, Shintaro seemed to be in a lighter mood. He put the cruel transfer student out of his mind for the time being. After everyone had lunch and rested for a while, they ushered in the afternoon wilderness survival class.

[April 27, 1000, 14:00 pm, Konglu Red Zone, Trial Forest]

The brown-haired boy stood at the edge of the forest and encouraged himself.

Shintaro thinks he is better at outdoor battles than arena matches - largely because outdoor battles don't always have a lot of spectators like arena matches. Although he lost ugly in the morning, Shintaro doesn't want to keep losing ugly.

.He is now eager to become a top student.

It's not to show off to anyone, it's just that he vaguely feels that he can't continue to be so bad. He still has goals he wants to achieve and people he wants to catch up with. If he continues to dawdle...

"Huh... OK!" After patting his face, Shintaro gathered his energy and followed the long team into the forest.

The content of today’s wilderness survival class is to travel through the northern part of the Trial Forest, where wild Pokémon are densest. More than thirty people in the entire class act together. In order for everyone to complete the goal safely without falling behind, they need to pay special attention to each other.

Just cooperate and respond.

Due to the rugged terrain in the northern area of ​​the Trial Forest, often with steep cliffs and hillsides, Shintaro chose the Spearow, which is highly maneuverable and can fly freely, as his partner.

"Continue to move at a high speed - OK, Yan Hui!"

The Spearow spun swiftly in the air, knocking away the two Sonic Bats blocking the way.

"Next, over there, support everyone with your shouts!"

Nana tiptoed over and poked Shintaro with her finger, "Oh, Shintaro, you worked hard today unexpectedly?"

"What's the accident? I've been working hard." Shintaro replied with a serious face, and immediately turned back to add another instruction, "Spear, watch your left..."

The girl with twin ponytails blinked and spread her hands helplessly.

Looking at Shintaro-san's appearance, it was clear that he was stimulated by the loss in the morning. Nana expressed that she did not understand the unwillingness among boys to admit defeat.

And... Shintaro-san always seems to be in a hurry lately.

Hope you don't go too far.

Yuji walked at the front of the team, still unsmiling, commanding the giant wolfhound to clear the way almost rampantly, savagely repelling all the incoming wild Pokémon, and occasionally eliciting exclamations from the people behind him. Shintaro glanced at Yuji from time to time,

He immediately warned himself not to lose his mind again.

Therefore, when a scream came from behind, Shintaro's head turned half a beat slower.

Seeing the scene in front of him, the young man suddenly became anxious.

Nana Yoshikawa was in charge of the rear in this course and had been walking at the end of the team after talking to Shintaro. But when she was about to follow the team across the cliff and down the suspension bridge, a wind blade flew from nowhere and cut off the suspension bridge.

of a rope.

The simple suspension bridge suddenly crumbled, causing Nana to accidentally fall and was about to slide down.

"Nana-san!"

Shintaro, who had been charging all the way, charged forward again almost without thinking.

While he was running, the angry words "Stop" suddenly sounded behind his head. Shintaro was stunned, and he had already stepped onto the suspension bridge before he could retract his steps.

The sound of the rope breaking echoed in the noisy but extremely quiet ears.

When the first rope broke, the other two ropes had actually been cut by the wind blade, but they were just barely able to maintain their original shape. When the young man stepped on with his light and heavy feet, the overwhelmed rope finally broke.

.

When the feeling of weightlessness hit, Shintaro's mind almost went blank, and all he could see in his eyes was the frightened expression of Nana who was only a few steps ahead.

He realized that he had caused an absolutely unforgivable disaster.

The next second, a gray wind blew against his face. Shintaro's eyes were blurred, and a brutal force came from his back collar, and he was then thrown to the ground on the edge of the cliff.

The young man who landed on the ground in the posture of a dog chewing mud finally found his breath and suddenly got up. What he saw in front of him was the bloody mouth of the big wolfdog exhaling a bloody wind.

"Wow!" Shintaro was so frightened that he leaned back and fell to the ground again.

He looked around blankly——

The suspension bridge has fallen under the cliff, but the orange-haired girl in distress is sitting on her knees not far away, looking a little frightened.

The crow who had rescued Nana in time flapped his wings and landed on the shoulder of the person in front of him. He raised his head, and the gray-haired boy's expression was so cold that it was almost contemptuous and shot into Shintaro's pupils.

"Just go to the corner and stay there, you trash, and don't come out to harm anyone."

The words were like a bomb that exploded in Shintaro's mental world. He opened his eyes wide and saw the familiar classmates around him looking at him.

Under sight, there is nowhere to hide.
