Luther did not leave after the opening ceremony, and Sirona's invitation was sent at the same time.
On the way to Sirona's temporary cabin on Suzuli Island, Luther was still in a daze.
If Wu Song hadn't said anything, Luther had no idea that his opponent in the first round would be such a fierce opponent.
"To be honest, I think more of Misaki than you, but your experience is so attractive, so I can't help but cheer for you."
Wu Song's expression was very serious when he said this, and he didn't feel like he was laughing and joking like when he was fighting against the fire.
If there is one person among the Four Heavenly Kings who knows Luther best, it is definitely Wu Song.
"Doesn't even Wu Song think highly of me?"
Luther's relaxed feeling of coming out of the qualifiers was gone, replaced by a little nervousness.
At the same time, Luther was also a little curious about what kind of person Misaki would be.
After all, Sirona now invites him to a party alone, and there is no doubt that she is introducing Misaki to Luther.
It seems that something happened to the alliance after the draw that bothered Sirona. When Luther came to this small oceanside mansion in advance, there was no one around.
Luther stood in front of the door under the faint light and sighed, silently waiting for the owner of the house to come back quickly.
Because I was too bored, I simply sat on the steps.
The reason why the fairy milk was given to Mai to take care of is that Miaomiao is now much more relaxed and can comfortably grab tree fruits with Marilu.
Marylou's little ears moved slightly, and she looked warily at the dark, cobbled path not far away.
Luther also heard it, it was a very dull footsteps, it sounded like a huge creature carefully controlling the rhythm of walking.
When the shadow was exposed to the light, Luther couldn't help but exclaimed "Oh".
This was a Bankelas that was at least two meters tall. He stopped immediately after seeing Luther, lowered his head and waited for his trainer's order.
Compared with Bankelas, this girl with short hair, who is only 1.6 meters tall, looks too petite and mini.
The girl carrying a small bag touched the Aplysia stuck to Bankelas, then walked towards Luther with her hands behind her back. After looking at him curiously, she extended her hand to Luther who was sitting on the steps.
.
"Just call me Misaki."
Misaki smiled very charmingly, and there seemed to be a clear spring flowing in her bright eyes, and the weak light sprinkled her eyes with tiny starlight.
Luther was stunned for a moment, then quickly stood up, shook hands with Misaki, and quickly introduced himself.
In the ID photo, she looks like a tomboy, but the Misaki that Luther saw was not only stunning, but also had another feeling.
A strange feeling that Luther, who lacked language skills, could not describe.
Misaki patted the steps, padded the corners of her skirt, and sat next to Luther.
"I heard your name before the qualifiers." Misaki smiled and said, "At that time, our players in Group F were discussing your Mary Lou, and I even went to watch the match."
Misaki pinched Marilu's face and took out a pack of snacks from the small bag: "I specially prepared this before coming here. I hope you like it."
Marylou took the snack and ate it happily.
"I just found out that you are someone that Sirona pays close attention to and has given a lot of advice to." Luther said.
Misaki took out a small piece from Marilou's snack and took a bite: "To each other."
"It's because of you that I want to participate in this competition."
Misaki's words made Luther tremble. Looking at Misaki's delicate profile, he felt a little incredible.
As if she felt Luther's shock, Misaki smiled and asked, "Sirona didn't tell you about me, and she didn't tell me about yours either."
"But... I still learned that in this competition, there is a trainer who was selected by Sirona at the same time as me to participate in the competition."
Misaki stared at Luther: "That's why I came to compete, for you."
Misaki patted the dust on her black stockings, stood up slowly, walked towards the seaside not far away, hands behind her back.
Luther seemed to be pulled by Misaki's movements and followed her steps.
Only now did Luther know what happened to Bankelas' strange pace just now. It was to match Misaki's rhythm.
The sea breeze mixed with the salty smell blows in your face, and the sound of the rising and falling tide makes you feel particularly calm.
"Why?" Luther asked.
The corners of Misaki's mouth raised slightly: "To prove myself, to confirm whether you are worthy of Sirona's attention..."
"I will no longer be disappointed for Sirona." After Misaki finished speaking, he shouted to the sea in the darkness, as if expressing some different emotions.
"Do you know that besides us, Sirona has placed high hopes on many trainers who have been tied to Sinnoh over the years?"
"Except for you, Shinji, Xiaozhi, and me, there are none." Misaki said, "Before that, the number was twenty-nine, but in the past two years, there were only seven."
Luther frowned: "There should be another one."
Misaki pointed at Bankelas not far away: "That one has been defeated by me. He is helpless and has no intention of challenging a higher stage."
Luther's silence made Misaki's voice become softer.
"Hirona said that she started looking for and paying attention to these outstanding new generation trainers three years ago. Last year, only you and I were selected. This year, if what Sirona told me is true, then
It’s zero.”
"Sirona is disappointed. Although she doesn't say anything with her words, her actions can't deceive others."
It would be disappointing, after all, so many people at the beginning were far away from their original dreams, and at the same time, Sirona's hope of finding the next "self" for the Sinnoh Alliance was taken away.
Misaki squatted down, took off her stockings, stuffed them into her shoes, and stepped on the cold beach, waiting for the next wave of sea water to cover the soles of her feet.
"You and I are the people that Sirona hopes to grow up, compete with her, and become the hope of the Sinnoh Alliance in the future."
Luther sighed: "Are you here to try the sword?"
Misaki was stunned for a moment before recalling the meaning of Luther's words.
"Yes, test the sword." Misaki walked up to Luther. At this moment, her bright eyes exuded a strong sense of oppression, even close to majesty.
"I have heard too many rumors from my seniors. Those people who are paid attention to by Sirona are either extremely talented or amazingly charming, but so many people..." Misaki sneered and did not continue to comment on those people.
"I don't have their talent, and I don't have as good a starting point as they do..." Misaki smiled, "But I work harder than them, I have a deeper bond with the elves than they do, and I can endure the loneliness and boredom on this road better than them.
"
"Now I come to test the sword."
"If you are still hiding your stupidity, please be careful."
