Prunus and An Qiu soon found their teammates — Yuko Uchikai and Chiku Saito.
Yuko Uchikai was also the last student who participated in Senpai's plan, and Chiku Saito was her good friend.
In fact, for Prunus and An Qiu, who were at the bottom of the class, they didn't have a choice.
They didn't have many teammates to choose from, so when the inland sea came to invite them, Bai Jian and An Qiu immediately agreed.
"Well,
My personality is that of a shark, and my habits are basically the same as a shark's, so my abilities are better in the water, such as my protective color and underwater sense of smell … My advantages on land are basically my sharp teeth and relatively hard body … "Uchikai explained very honestly, and then lowered his head a little submissively. Unlike his personality, he was more easily timid.
"Uchikai's body has scales!" Prunus blinked and said in surprise.
"Those are shield scales, which are relatively hard and can resist general damage." Uchikai tilted his head.
Then he explained seriously, "But my physical fitness is not very good … So Chiku's joining us is really a big help. Boohoo."
Chiku Saito patted Uchikai's shoulder in a very friendly manner.
Then she smiled warmly and said, "It's okay, Uchikai.
We will definitely be able to advance! "
Chiku Saito was a top student in Class 1-A. Her personality was the same as Uchikai's, both of them were zoological.
Her personality was "spider", which allowed her to do everything a spider could do.
Among them, her most commonly used move was Silk Shot.
It would definitely play a great role in horse riding — her physical fitness and mobility were also very high.
So she was also invited by several teams just now.
"My personality is a door.
I can teleport myself to a place within a certain range.
If you come into contact with me, I can 'teleport' you as well. "
An Qiu looked down at her hands. She opened and closed them. "So, in order to have a more comprehensive view, I hope to be in front of the 'horse'."
Uchikai nodded and looked at Chiku. "Then Chiku will be a 'human'!
Your [Silk Thread] will definitely help us get the headband … Now, Prunus and I will be the left and right wings. "
Prunus had no objections and immediately nodded in agreement.
In this way, the roles of the horse riding battle were very clear. After the four girls had more or less finished discussing their strategies, the second round of the horse riding battle began.
"Our score is too insignificant. I don't think we'll be targeted for the time being!"
Chiku sat on the 'horse' built by the three of them and said seriously, "Therefore, we should be able to counterattack from the rear!
Take good care of our headbands! "
She had always had the judgment and leadership skills needed in a battle. Uchikai and Prunus on the left and right wings nodded in agreement. Only An Qiu, as the frontline, made a worrisome declaration. "Sorry … but our opponents are coming." And they were coming at them with their lives on the line.
Chiku, Prunus, and Uchikai:????
Chiku was the first to react. She frowned and looked at the horse charging towards them. The one in front of the horse was the teenager with the Explode hairstyle. Chiku's expression changed. "Asakura -san, he must be coming for you!"
An Qiu nodded and moved at the same time as Prunus and Uchikai. She whispered, "I didn't expect that idiot to advance."
Prunus giggled. "An Qiu, where's your image management?"
"Asakura Yasuaki!
You bastard, how dare you ignore me!
I'm going to teach you a lesson! "
The Explode's clone had a ferocious expression on his face. He was only in charge of the horse, but for some reason, he was directing the entire horse's movement.
An Qiu looked at him with disdain. "… Almond!"
Prunus understood. "Got it!"
Bai Jian suddenly stopped and used his right hand to spray a large amount of clay towards the Exploding Grand Steed that was charging towards them. The clay blocked their vision and instantly restricted their footsteps. As for Anqiu, she nimbly squatted down a little. When Zhi Zhu reacted, she quickly used the Spider's Web Spitting Skill to snatch away the headbands that could be snatched.
"… We got the headband!" Uchikai's face lit up. He did not expect them to get such a good result at the beginning of the competition.
Chiku, who got the headband, was stunned. When she decided to follow Uchikai to this team, she was prepared to carry. She did not expect that Asakura Yasuaki's dynamic vision was better than hers at the beginning of the competition, and Prunus's decisiveness in using his personality …
Was this the result of his plan to be the last in the team?
Knowing that Zhu Yan had tightened his headband, a happy smile appeared on his face. "Then let's continue attacking according to this tune!
Prunus, you did a great job just now! "
Prunus nodded happily and ran away at the same time as Uchikai. If the Explode's clone succeeded in getting rid of the clay, he would come back to snatch the headband back.
After that, the four girls managed to snatch the headband from many teams that were left behind. Gradually, they climbed to the fourth place among the eleven teams.
"… We did it!
There are only five minutes left in the competition. If we keep this up, we will have a chance to advance to the next round! "
Uchikai's eyes were full of joy. Although there were many thrilling moments just now, they did not lose the headband, so their score kept going up.
Prunus was also happy. But just as she was about to say something, she felt something tugging on the top of her head. When she came back to her senses, the headband on her forehead was gone. Prunus was shocked and immediately looked at the person who pulled it. "Knife-cutting -san!"
An Qiu frowned and called out in a low voice, "Apricot trees!"
Prunus's heart skipped a beat and she immediately came back to her senses. "Sorry … I didn't notice!"
Knife-cutting was now in second place. He smiled and shook the Prunus headband in his hand. A total of 500 points. Prunus's ranking on the screen dropped by two places in an instant. When Knife-cutting saw that his team's ranking had risen, he left contentedly.
Prunus looked nervous. She hurriedly looked at An Qiu and asked, "What should we do?"
An Qiu looked at her and then glanced at the screen. There were only four minutes left. "Of course we have to snatch the headband back!
We have to snatch Knife-cutting's headband too! "
She frowned. Adolescent boys were really troublesome. Wasn't Knife-cutting's score enough?
Why did they have to bully Prunus?
Chiku Saito was a little hesitant. "But Knife-cutting's headband has super high mobility. They have already run far away. We can't catch up with them!
Would it be better for us to attack other teams? "
Uchikai looked around. "But Chiku, the teams around here are not to be trifled with!
And there aren't many teams with more than 500 points left! "
Prunus was about to cry. "I'm sorry. I'm really sorry!"
An Qiu frowned. Her black eyes stared at Knife-cutting's fleeing team. She suddenly reached out and grabbed Prunus and Uchikai's hands. "Hold my hand!"
Prunus and Sharkie immediately did as they were told. Even Chiku immediately put her hand on An Qiu's shoulder.
An Qiu took a deep breath and immediately rushed forward. "Almond, Saito, when you come back to your senses, attack immediately!"
"Got it!"
Although Prunus did not know what was going to happen next, she thought that An Qiu would think about it. She nodded seriously.
An Qiu did not waste any time. She immediately took a step forward. After that, the other three felt their vision go dark. When they came back to their senses, the four of them were already in front of Knife-cutting. The three girls came back to their senses and immediately understood — this was teleportation!
It turned out that An Qiu was aiming for her personality!
"Almond!"
But this was not the time to be surprised. An Qiu called out in a low voice. She had just used her teleportation ability and her face immediately turned pale.
Prunus remembered An Qiu's order and immediately launched clay balls at Knife-cutting's team. Not only that, she also threw out clay birds. The birds circled around the Knife-cutting's feet leisurely and seemed to be useless. Knife-cutting was so angry that he immediately summoned a knife from his hand and cut the clay birds into two.
At the same time, Prunus immediately called out Saito's name. "Saito -san!"
Chiku frowned and saw that Prunus' clay birds suddenly exploded after being cut by Knife-cutting. Knife-cutting was so shocked that his hand tilted slightly and the horse lost its center of gravity. Chiku took the opportunity to snatch the two headbands from the 'person's head.
"I got it!"
Saito checked the headbands in her hand. They were worth 350 points and 400 points respectively, so they were enough. "… Run!
Prunus, Uchikai! "
An Qiu did not say anything. "It's too slow to run like that!"
Without saying anything, she grabbed the team's hands and used teleportation again. She teleported the four of them, including herself, to a blind spot in the field.
Because Knife-cutting's mobility was too high, it was difficult to guarantee that they would immediately attack them after stabilizing their center of gravity. They had to quickly put some distance between them and the Knife-cutting team.
There were still many teams in the field that were still struggling. It just so happened that each team had an opponent. Therefore, as long as they ran in a direction that no one was paying attention to, they would be able to win.
After teleporting, An Qiu looked at the distance between herself and the Knife-cutting team with satisfaction and panted again.
…
"The second round of the horse riding battle is over."
After the four girls steadied themselves, Midnight Sensei made another announcement. Looking at the conspicuous fourth place on the screen, the four girls breathed a sigh of relief. Chiku immediately jumped down from her horse, breaking the horse riding posture that she had maintained for more than ten minutes.
"Asakura, your personality is too convenient!" Chiku said gratefully to Asakura after returning to the ground. She had no ill intentions.
"Thank you … Asakura!" Uchikai also had a grateful expression. "If it weren't for you at the critical moment, we would have lost!"
Bai Jian looked at An Qiu's side profile, which was filled with determination, and her heart beat faster and faster. Could it be that An Qiu was really working so hard for her?
In the horse riding battle just now, An Qiu showed strength that she had never seen before!
"Thank you … Ahn Chiu-chan," Prunus said softly and shook An Qiu's sleeve. Her eyes were full of sincere gratitude to An Qiu.
"It's okay."
An Qiu lowered her head and felt her strength rapidly depleting. Although she hated the feeling of exhaustion, it turned out that the feeling of successfully advancing with Prunus and the others was very good.
Thinking of this, the corners of her mouth curved up without her noticing.
— — Although, if Explode -senpai saw how hard she worked just now, he would definitely laugh at her.
…
×××
Bombardment Scorch looked a little worried. "… Your friend will be fine, right?"
Prunus Almond blinked and thought seriously. "I don't think Ahn Chiu-chan will cry."
"Explode -senpai is surprisingly strict."
Bombardment Scorch thought about Prunus' friend. Although he still didn't know who she was and couldn't remember her name, she was still a weak-looking girl. Explode -senpai didn't seem like someone who would go easy on her …
"Don't worry!
Ahn Chiu-chan is very strong! "
Prunus was as optimistic as ever. She patted Bombardment Scorch's arm. "… Don't worry about Little Bombardment Scorch."
Bombardment Scorch was stunned and nodded. Well, Explode -senpai was right. Now, he had to find a way to improve Prunus' strength so that she could pass the Sports Festival.
With this in mind, he looked at the special training room. This was a simulated field created using the school's technology. Whether it was a pool, a cliff, or any kind of rugged terrain, it was indeed the same terrain that they would face in the first round of the Sports Festival.
Yesterday, Bombardment Scorch received a task list from Teacher No.13 along with the site use permit from the school. There was a list of tasks that Prunus needed to improve. He read it thoroughly and wasn't surprised by Teacher No.13's request. But before he started, he still had something to do.
"Well … let me see how strong you are first." After all, he had never seen Prunus use her personality in a real battle. This part of the information was a little lacking.
Bombardment Scorch rubbed his chin seriously and said to Prunus, who was a head shorter than him, "… From there, use your personality to get there as fast as you can. I will hinder you on the way. Is that okay?"
Bai Jian stared blankly at the route that first involved climbing a mountain, then crossing a river and crossing a cliff. He swallowed his saliva and nodded with clenched fists. "… I'll work hard, Little Charcoal!"
"No." Bombardment Scorch quickly interrupted her. He raised his hands again. Ice on the right, fire on the left.
Prunus: "… Hmm?"
Bombardment Scorch's eyes were serious as he stared at the petite Prunus in front of him. "… From today onwards, you are Bombardment Scorch Senpai."
Prunus was a little surprised. … Okay, okay, Bombardment Scorch Senpai!
Little Bombardment Scorch was suddenly motivated!
…
…
Although Bombardment Scorch was sometimes a little dazed when he interacted with others, once he decided on something, he would not hesitate. With this thought in mind, Bombardment Scorch took out his phone and pressed the timer without hesitation. "It begins, Prunus."
"Hi, Bombardment Scorch Senpai!"
Prunus nodded and ran as fast as she could to the cliff that Bombardment Scorch Senpai pointed out. As for Bombardment Scorch Senpai, he watched as she climbed halfway, put down the timer on his phone, ran after Prunus' tail, and created ice to attack her.
"Ugh!"
Prunus was frightened by Bombardment Scorch Senpai's imposing manner. Her hand slipped and she let go of the stone in her hand. As for Bombardment Scorch Senpai, he did not seem to be in a hurry to help her. Instead, he frowned at Prunus who was falling and said loudly, "… Prunus, use Personality!"
"Yes … Yes!"
Bai Jian frowned. While falling, he cut his palm again, and at the critical moment, he turned his hand to create a large amount of clay on the ground to act as a cushion to catch his body.
"… Can't you use clay to catch the stone?"
Bombardment Scorch Senpai, who was standing on the ice ladder, looked down at the almond-haired girl who was trapped in the clay ball. He slid down the ice ladder nimbly and returned to the ground to pull Prunus up. He said in a worried tone, "If you fall like this during the sports festival, you won't be able to catch up with your progress."
At that time, everyone's attacks might be many times stronger and more merciless than Bombardment Scorch Senpai's.
Prunus, who understood this, looked a little annoyed. She did not answer Bombardment Scorch Senpai's words. Instead, she looked at the 20-meter-high artificial cliff and then looked at her palm.
"The clay I made needs time to solidify and is easy to break … If you want to fix me on the cliff, the clay needs to be quite tough." Prunus opened and closed her palm, looking a little frustrated.
Hong pursed his lips. That was indeed a tricky problem.
Seeing the frustration and frustration in Bai Jian's eyes, he subconsciously reached out his hand to her shoulder, intending to give her some encouragement.
"… It's okay, I'll try again!"
Unexpectedly, before Bombardment Scorch Senpai could encourage her, the girl's eyes were full of fighting spirit and determination. She clenched her fists and climbed up the cliff without saying a word. Hong could not even touch her shadow.
"…" Hong looked at the petite figure with some astonishment. By the time he reacted, Bai Jian had already climbed three or four meters — and her resolute and unyielding figure at this moment reminded him of the her from many years ago.
— She was a slow person who would get up no matter how hard she fell.
Yes, that girl was not someone who needed encouragement easily.
She had been trying so hard to catch up. The only thing he could do was to help her, just like before.
Thinking of this, Hong Jiao Leng's heterochromatic eyes were tinged with a gentleness that he himself didn't notice.
After the first few failures, Bombardment Scorch finally decided to slow down the speed of his attack and let Prunus get used to the fact that she could be attacked. Then he gradually increased the intensity of his attack.
He knew very well that Prunus was the kind of person who had to take things slowly and memorize things little by little. Coincidentally, he had the ability to adjust the intensity of his attack, so … he could accompany her for as long as she wanted.
"Use your personality!"
"Prunus!
Pay attention to your surroundings. You're too focused on one thing again! "
"… Use your personality!"
"You're too impatient. Calm down!
Adjust your breathing! "
Bombardment Scorch used his ice personality to follow Prunus. Looking at her sweaty sportswear, he frowned seriously again. Since she was working so hard, he would accompany her to the end.
Even though her starting line was different from others, he had always believed that she could catch up!
…
