At the end of the month, the first-year freshmen finally have to prepare for off-campus practice.
Heika and Tianli couldn't help but have expectations and longings.
"It was announced on the blackboard in the lounge today that all first-year freshmen will also go to the practice field to listen to the senior's off-campus practical guidance at night!"
"Ah! I can finally go out to practice outside the school!"
"I heard that the freshmen's first off-campus practice is to conduct exploration activities in the nearby forest."
"Heika, are you looking forward to it? Let's go camping and adventure together. And see the real plants and creatures that are only found in books."
Just thinking about it, Tian Li and the others wished they could go to the forest to see the new world immediately.
Heika is also very much looking forward to this off-campus practice.
Although they are freshmen, even if they go to off-campus practice, they will not go far. But even if it's just flying freely in the forest with the milk can, it's enough to make Heika feel full of expectations.
"I thought about time, if we went to the forest. We should all be able to sleep with our own dragons, right?"
"It should be! I heard from the seniors that the general off-campus practice is group camping. In that case, there is no dragon stable to store your own dragons.
You can only bring your own dragon with you. "
"It's safer if you bring the dragon with you."
"Then you say, I will go outside to practice for a week, will I have to hunt for food and solve it myself?"
"If so, do you think we eat fruit or barbecue? Should we bring some seasoning or something?"
"Speaking of condiments, I brought some from home. I can share it with my roommate's jam!"
"Will it be cold to go camping and sleep outside? I definitely need to bring a thick blanket or something."
Even before the off-campus practice guidance started tomorrow night, Heika and Tianli couldn't help but imagine their study and life outside the school.
Like Tianli and the others, Heika is eagerly looking forward to the quick start of off-campus practice.
In the evening, when all the first-year students gather at the center driving range.
Heika heard that everyone was discussing this off-campus practice enthusiastically.
"Tian Li, Albert!"
Sakuraba waved her hand quickly when she saw Heika and the others.
"Sakura Leaf, you came so early."
"Well, the girls in our dormitory, everyone came to the practice field after class and waited."
"But there are still ten minutes left to talk to the seniors."
"But you see, almost all the first-year students have arrived."
"Sure enough, everyone can't wait for the off-campus practice."
Sakuraba clasped her hands in front of her chest, Wada Ri nodded in agreement with his words.
In fact, it wasn't just Heika who discussed preparations for off-campus practice when they were still in the dormitory. Almost all the freshmen are discussing.
When Julian and Ferry appeared together, there was also a sixth-grade senior who Heika had never met, and followed them to the front of everyone.
"Everyone, please pay attention."
Hearing Ferry's words, the freshmen all turned their heads and stopped talking.
"Before the start of our off-campus practical guidance, freshmen from each department are invited to stand in their own teams."
As they spoke, the freshmen quickly returned to their seats.
Julian stood beside Ferry, listening to Ferry. The sixth-grade senior whom Hei Ka had never met stood beside Julian and couldn't help yawning tiredly.
Looks like he's in a bad mood.
"I said Julian, why do you have to drag me? To guide the freshmen, wouldn't it be enough to have you and Ferry?"
Julian looked back at Alec beside him.
"Seniors, it's not that I have to pull you in. It's the guidance of freshmen, which should have been led by you sixth grade seniors.
I'm only half a sixth grader now. "
Alec sighed, looking at Ferry who was explaining the precautions for off-campus practice to the freshmen.
Obviously, they are already graduating, so they don't need to be oppressed by complicated schoolwork anymore. Finally, it's time to start enjoying the relaxed and leisurely life that belongs to Dragon Trainers.
But who would have thought that before graduation. They were actually able to fully experience the suffering of being oppressed by their juniors.
Even when he participated in the Star Challenge, Alec didn't feel so helpless now.
"Well, since you have said so, Junior Julian. Then I can only fulfill my responsibility as a senior."
"Ah~ I'm really sleepy. I came back after traveling day and night!"
Alec couldn't help but stand beside Julian, yawning and stretching.
Heika and the others listened carefully to Senior Ferry's instructions, and didn't pay much attention to the whispering between Julian and Alec.
In fact, the so-called off-campus practice guidance for freshmen is to let freshmen understand that off-campus practice is not the field trip that everyone thinks.
The off-campus practice of the Dragon Academy is actually equivalent to the teacher leading the students to experience the adventures of the dragon trainers in the forest in advance.
Therefore, although it is led by a school teacher, there is also the Knights of Ole City as a safe backing.
But off-campus practice still has its dangers.
However, in the familiar Steele Forest in Ole City. Teachers will not take students, especially freshmen, into dangerous areas.
Most of them are in relatively safe places where there are no dangerous creatures, allowing freshmen to experience off-campus practice. Really feel the unique charm of How to Train Your Dragon in the forest and in the sky.
It seems that children like Heika who have been interested in dragon training since childhood, more or less fantasize about riding a dragon to explore the edge of the forest, or sometimes go to the forest with their friends without the adults knowing. Flying over the edge of the forest.
However, as organized by the college, this is already a very in-depth practical activity, but few people have experienced it.
After all, for children who are not yet dragon trainers but just beginning to explore the world of dragon trainers, there are too many unknown and terrifying dangers in the forest without any safety measures.
Therefore, being able to fly in the forest in the name of school practice is definitely like fulfilling a dream that I have always wanted to do but never dared to do.
In fact, Ferry can understand the excitement and urgency of freshmen participating in off-campus practice for the first time.
But the more excited and urgent this is, the more it is necessary to let freshmen know that off-campus practice may encounter the possibility of danger. It's not what everyone thinks, as long as you follow the teacher, you will be safe.
"So, to ensure everyone's safety, the Knights will conduct inspections at any time. However, off-campus practice still has its uncertainties and dangers.
Tonight, I will give you guidance before the off-campus practice.
In addition to telling everyone where we are going to practice and what we need to prepare.
More importantly, I and the other two seniors will show you the precautionary actions that you must know when encountering an emergency.
And in the event of an accident, what should everyone do to ensure their own safety from damage to the greatest extent. "
Hearing Senior Ferry speak so seriously to everyone about the dangers of doing off-campus practice. The freshmen who couldn't help laughing and whispering before also listened seriously.
Alec and Julian also cooperated with Ferry's explanation, rode their own dragons, and demonstrated danger avoidance actions for the freshmen.
Basically, freshmen are in danger of being attacked by wild beasts, poisonous insects, etc. in the forest. Julian and the others explained everything to the freshmen in detail.
Especially at night, when it is necessary to camp and rest in the forest. Freshmen are the most likely to be targeted and attacked by ferocious beasts.
If such a situation does occur, the freshmen must also understand the importance of keeping calm before waiting for the teacher to rescue them.
"Then, all the off-campus practical guidance is done. Next, we need to randomly select a few students to repeat the risk-avoiding actions we did before.
You can discuss with each other now, and we will roll call in ten minutes. "
Ferry gave the freshmen time to digest and think, and looked back at Alec who was still yawning.
"Alec, did you rush back all the way without sleeping?"
Alec could hardly keep his eyes open.
"Isn't it because you sent me letters desperately, urging me? If it weren't for my graduation target being met, I wouldn't have come back so early!"
Ferry knew that it was because of his urging that his good friend came back in a hurry.
"Hey... there is no way. Who made the sixth grade students busy outside to complete the targets."
"So what about you? Did you pass all the challenges?"
As soon as Alec came back, he was dragged directly to the practice field by Ferry and Julian to give guidance to the freshmen. Didn't care about the greetings at all.
After a short break now, Alec remembered that Ferry had come back so early, whether it was because he hadn't passed the challenge yet.
Ferry glanced at Julian before telling Alec that he crossed the line and passed the last star challenge.
All of a sudden, Alec felt that he was not sleepy anymore.
Staring at Ferry with two eyes.
"So you are now a five-star Dragon Trainer?! Ferry, are you kidding me? How did you do it! This is too strong!"
Alec was so surprised that he didn't know how to react.
Five-star dragon trainers must be certified by the alliance.
Ferry passed the last star challenge, which means he is eligible to receive the league's five-star certification.
"It's true. Maybe I'll pass the last challenge, thanks to Julian."
"why?"
Alec looked at Julian strangely, and found that Julian frowned coldly.
"Because Junior Junior Julian sent me a letter. Because of his letter, I had to explode with unprecedented strength."
Hearing what his friend said, Alec seemed to understand what was going on.
"Student Julian, you can really do it."
Julian only thought that this was the senior's praise to him, and he didn't forget to remind them by the way. Off-campus practice is also indispensable for them to escort the freshmen together.
"Two seniors, this year's freshmen's off-campus practice needs your attention."
