When he woke up the next morning, Guhan had almost forgotten the scene in his dream. What he didn't know was that this scene would appear in front of him a few years later. Of course, these things were not important now.
At this time, there were only three days left before the week-long internship outside the city ended. Guhan still had three accepted tasks in his hands that had not been completed at all. Guhan decided to take the time to complete these tasks as a cover for his next things.
The remaining three tasks were basically the same task. They required Guhan to patrol certain areas and then kill Yuan Kou who appeared in those areas to protect the safety of ordinary civilians nearby.
It was a very simple task. As long as there was no ghost-level Yuan Kou or above, Guhan was confident that he could kill them.
However, when it came to Qingpin, there was a problem. Qingpin, the cute girl, could not wake up no matter how hard Guhan tried. Even if Qingpin squeezed her chubby little face into dough, there was still no sign of Qingpin waking up.
"Maybe it's because I've consumed too much of my spirit!"
Guhan guessed. Transformation skills consumed a lot of spirit and physical strength. Perhaps Qingpin could not wake up because she was too tired.
Guhan took out a brand-new Nursery Bag from his Dimensional Pocket and hung it on it. Then, he put Qingpin in it … Fortunately, Guhan had specially prepared a Nursery Bag for Qingpin in his Dimensional Pocket. The previous Nursery Bag was still intact, except for the part with Qingpin's Dimensional Pocket that was still intact. The rest of the Nursery Bag had been torn into pieces by the fierce battle and could no longer be used.
After leaving the tent, Song Hama was already waiting for Guhan not far from the entrance with the Cast Cloud Iron. They had agreed yesterday that they would act together to complete the task today.
After yesterday's thrilling experience, Guhan no longer wanted to take any risks. He just wanted to spend this internship in peace and then return home to rest for a while.
On the way to the patrol spot, Guhan heard a shocking news from Song Hama's mouth. Rena Kosaka had returned. However, she was not found at the place where Guhan fought her. Instead, she was found in a mine in the depths of the Luoting Mine.
When she was found, she was already in a deep coma. She only woke up after being treated in the medical bay. However, it seemed that Yuan Kou had injured her brain, causing her to lose some of her memories … It seemed that she had lost all of her memories after leaving the city for the internship.
Hearing this news, Guhan understood that the discovered Rena Kosaka was probably the real Rena Kosaka. When she was kidnapped in the hover car, she had been in a coma and locked up somewhere.
It was only when the fake Rena Takasaka failed that they placed the real Rena Takasaka deep in the ore vein, pretending that she had fainted from the Medusae's attack. It also perfectly explained why Rena Takasaka had lost her memory. The Medusae's attack must have damaged her brain. That was the perfect excuse.
Regarding this, Guhan was very curious. Were the masterminds not afraid that he would reveal the whole process to the Kensei?
As long as he told them everything, all of their disguises would be meaningless.
Or perhaps, they were already certain that he wouldn't reveal this matter?
If that was the case, then their understanding of him had reached a terrifying level. They could even guess his style of doing things.
…
The process of completing the mission with Song Hama was very smooth. Although they did meet some stupid Yuan Kou during their patrol, they were all rat-tier and tiger-tier low-level Yuan Kou. Guhan did not even have to do anything as Song Hama could finish them off.
The next three days were smooth sailing. It seemed that after the ordeal with Medusa and Rena Kosaka, Guhan's luck had returned to normal. However, in these three days, Guhan's expression grew uglier. This was because three days had passed, but Qingpin was still in a coma. If not for Guhan's passive ability to turn Qingpin into his sword form, Guhan would have thought that his Swordmaiden had fallen into a long slumber.
Guhan searched on the internet for a long time. There were many cases of Swordmaidens in a long slumber, but there were very few solutions. There was almost only one way: Let the Swordmaiden wake up on her own, or seek help from an Alchemist.
Asking a Swordsmith for help was just like how Gu Han had healed King Yue, asking a Swordsmith to heal the heavily injured King Yue.
However, King Yue only sought help from an Alchemist when he was almost completely damaged.
On the other hand, Pauper was only asleep, and he was even snoring … Swordsmiths all used the same method to repair the Sword Maiden. They would place the Sword Maiden in the furnace and reforge it. No matter what kind of illness it was, they would follow this method. Unless absolutely necessary, Gu Han wouldn't bear to let Pauper reforge it in the furnace … Besides, Gu Han didn't want others to touch his Pauper.
Three days later, when the class gathered again, Qingpin was still sleeping in Guhan's Infant Pouch.
"Students of Class 22694, I haven't seen you for a week. I wonder how you've been these days? Have you learned anything about the real world of the sword-bearers?"
Luo Fan, the homeroom teacher, walked to the front of the class and started lecturing. This was the first time Guhan saw Luo Fan in a week.
"Alright, you guys know better than me when it comes to experience, so I won't say much.
I am very sorry to inform everyone that during this week, two students from our class 22694 have left us forever. "
Although Luo Fan said it was regretful, Guhan didn't hear any real regret in his tone.
Obviously, this situation was a norm for Luo Fan. Every time he brought the freshmen out of the city for practical training, such a tragedy would happen … It was also a norm for the whole of Yuzhang University. Otherwise, the 10% death rate for each class was no joke. It was a statistic that was supported and calculated by detailed statistics.
Guhan scanned the entire Class 22694. Sure enough, there were two fewer students in the queue. One was Liunian Ling, and the other was probably the unlucky one who had died.
The moment they heard that someone had died, the whole team was in an uproar. Although most of them had guessed that someone might die in this training, when death really came, everyone felt a great fear in their hearts. This time, the one who died was called Gu Xiu. Next time, would it be them?
"Stand still!
Sooner or later, all of you will die too. "Luo Fan snorted coldly. The whole line calmed down.
"Student Gu Xiu, a cute student, bravely went to the ore vein to mine alone. Unfortunately, he encountered the tiger-grade Yuan Kou and died."
Luo Fan quietly read out the unfortunate student's name.
"If he hadn't abandoned his swordmaiden and died when Yuan Kou broke through his protective shield while he was running away, I would have praised him."
"Gu Xiu, student number 18, likes to play the flute …" Guhan silently recalled Gu Xiu's information. Guhan remembered that when Gu Xiu introduced himself, he specifically mentioned that he was good at playing the flute and hoped to become a musician in the future.
"The tiger-grade Yuan Kou is not a strong opponent. Student Gu Xiu's swordmaiden had a chance to kill it as long as Student Gu Xiu commanded his swordmaiden seriously. But he didn't care and ran away like a mortal. Such a person, if not him, who will die?"
Even though Gu Xiu was already a dead man, Luo Fan still unceremoniously criticized him, and then used his death as an example to teach the other students a lesson.
"If I die this time, I might just be a typical example of failure in the teacher's mouth!"
Guhan smiled bitterly. In his heart, he was even more determined to not die. At least, he must not die before achieving his dream.
"However, there are two students who performed very well!"
After using Gu Xiu's death to teach the other students a lesson, Luo Fan began to praise them. "The Luoting Camp specially sent a letter of thanks to our student Guhan for informing the authorities about the appearance of Medusa, giving them enough time to evacuate the humans from the Luoting Camp.
"And Rena Takasaka, she was the one who informed Guhan about the appearance of Medusa before she fainted. Without the efforts of these two students, the number of human casualties in this Medusa incident would not be in the single digits.
"Alright, I hereby announce that the practical training is over. Everyone will take the hover car back to Yuzhang City. Remember to submit your mission at the Swordsman Mission Center.
The Swordsman Mission Center will report back to me on the completion of your mission. If anyone fails to complete their mission, I won't hold back on your credits. "
…
Finally, the one-week practical training was over. When Guhan returned to his seat, he looked a little absent-minded. Guhan would probably never forget what he had experienced that day. Also, why was Qingpin in his arms still sleeping? Didn't she know that Guhan wanted to feed her meat?
"Hello, are you Guhan?"
Just as Guhan was thinking about this, a familiar voice rang in his ears. Guhan looked up and saw Rena Takasaka's familiar face. Guhan almost pulled out his sword and killed her. Fortunately, he reacted quickly. This Rena Takasaka was not a fake, but the real Rena Takasaka.
"Although I've lost my memory for the past few days, I heard from my friend that you've been taking good care of me. Thank you!"
Rena Takasaka stretched out one hand in front of Guhan and used the other to tuck her bangs behind her ears. The sunlight shone on her from behind, making her look particularly dazzling.
"You're welcome!"
Guhan squeezed Rena Takasaka's hand tightly. "You've taken good care of me too. We're even now."
