There are no bells for classes or timetables in the training at the Monster Academy.
After having lunch in the cafeteria, Du Yu did not return to the dormitory, but went to the playground with Li Mengnan and found Teacher Gong.
The gap in talent between people is indeed astonishing.
It was already noon, and most of the students had already trained their demon pets and performed demon skills, but in the center of the playground, there were still a few students learning the demon apprentice contract.
Teacher Gong Cheng stood under the scorching sun, looking at the students with cold eyes.
"Report!" Du Yu stood at attention and called out.
Gong Cheng turned around and looked at Captain Du and his assistant: "The little Firefox has been taken back."
Du Yu: “Yes.”
"Okay, don't disturb it except for the necessary training and meal time." Gong Cheng pointed to the side, "You can practice the demon soldiers here."
Du Yu hesitated for a moment and said, "Teacher Gong, the target is over there."
Gong Cheng turned around and pointed at the dilapidated teaching building: "The first classroom on the third floor, do you see the broken window?"
Du Yu turned slightly, looked into the distance, and nodded slightly.
Gong Cheng: "Shoot."
Du Yu: “…”
Gong Cheng suddenly shouted: "Don't you understand what I'm saying?"
"Ah." Du Yu was startled. Why are you yelling so loudly...
Secretly complaining in his heart, he hurriedly took off the black wood demon weapon behind him and immediately drew his bow.
Then, a burning flame gathered and took shape, pointing to the broken window on the third floor of the teaching building in the north.
"Stop!" Gong Cheng gave another order.
Although Du Yu didn't understand why, he didn't dare to move.
Gong Cheng turned to look at Li Mengnan: "What kind of demon soldier are you?"
Li Mengnan quickly replied: "Wind-type demon weapon, Black Wind Sword."
Gong Cheng: "I remember now, when you were studying the demon apprentice contract this morning, you accidentally activated the demon soldier."
"Yeah, it's me."
Gong Cheng: "Go find an open place to practice, and make sure there is wind blowing every time you draw your sword.
I want to see your success rate reach 100% before the sun sets."
"Yes, Teacher Gong!" Li Mengnan clenched the hilt of the Wufeng sword, full of confidence, and strode towards the southwest of the school.
Gong Cheng nodded in satisfaction, and then looked at the students in front of him: "All of you, cheer up, lunch time is almost over!"
Several students who were progressing slowly were already extremely anxious, and after Gong Cheng's constant provocation and blows, they felt that their lives were bleak.
No! This is not the life of a demon tamer that I had in mind!
Where is the colorful world and the winner in life
No wonder the teacher warned us to get on the next school bus as soon as possible before driving...
"If you can't bear this hardship, look me in the eyes and say you give up! As long as you say it, you can go eat right away. In the next two days, I won't ask anything of you!"
Gong Cheng put his hands behind his back and paced back and forth: "This world is full of useless demon tamers, one more of you won't make any difference!"
The weather was already hot, and the double blow to the body and mind really left several students devastated.
One of the male students was even on the verge of tears.
Sometimes, it’s not that you don’t want to give up, but that you don’t dare!
If you have never actually stood in front of Gong Cheng, faced his dark, scarred face, and endured such a terrifying aura, you really would not understand how much courage it takes to say "give up".
Du Yu, who was standing by, was also upset. He once doubted whether Gong Cheng was a regular teacher, and whether the teacher had forgotten about him...
"Teacher Gong?" Du Yu asked cautiously.
"how?"
Du Yu: "Can I shoot now? It's been half a day."
It's been a while since I last drew the bow and put the arrow on it. It's more tiring than standing at attention! Besides, this isn't how you use a black wooden bow.
Although it is inferior goods, it is Du Yu's treasure and he loves it very much.
Gong Cheng walked to Du Yu's side, a sneer appeared on his face: "Just keep this posture."
"But my blackwood bow..."
Gong Cheng snorted: "These are demon soldiers, they can't be destroyed."
Du Yu felt more at ease, but he asked weakly, "How long will it last?"
Gong Cheng snorted and said, "That depends on how good you are."
excellent
Du Yu's eyes lit up: "Is it the kind of excellence that an outstanding student should have?"
Gong Cheng: “Maybe.”
Du Yu pursed his lips and even shouted in his heart: I want that demon weapon, I really need that customized demon weapon!
"Wow~Wow!" At this moment, a sound of wailing came from behind. Such a scene happened suddenly. Maybe the child was under too much psychological pressure
Du Yu didn't have time to pay attention to others. He concentrated on drawing the bow and drawing the arrow. However, he didn't expect that he would be standing in the heavy rain.
June sky, my girlfriend’s face.
At some point, dark clouds appeared in the northwest sky, blocking the scorching sun and bringing down cool rain.
“Sizzle~Sizzle~”
Drops of rain fell, dripping on the black wooden bow, making a crackling sound.
Du Yu lowered his eyes and observed the fire, somewhat worried that it would be put out by the rain.
And such worries became a reality after a burst of thunder. The rain was getting heavier and heavier...
I don’t know if it was because the boy broke down and cried, or because of the heavy rain, but Gong Cheng, who claimed that he would not let the students eat if they couldn’t learn, actually showed mercy and allowed these students to go to the dormitory to eat.
On the playground, there were only a few students still training, most of whom were accompanied by water-type demon pets, Wolf Lake Dogs.
However, there were two people standing in the middle of the playground, Gong Cheng and Du Yu.
The sky was dark and overcast.
Under the heavy rain, the burning fire seemed particularly stubborn, as if unwilling to be extinguished.
Even though it no longer has the blazing charm, only a few sparks and lines of fire are left connecting it.
Gong Cheng stood in front of Du Yu, looking at Du Yu's slightly trembling body, and said in a deep voice: "Still insist, are you trying to prove your excellence to me?"
Du Yu: "I just want that custom-made demon weapon."
"Heh." Gong Cheng laughed dumbly. He didn't expect Du Yu to tell the truth. "But your arrow has gone out. You only proved your weakness."
When Du Yu lowered his eyes and looked, the flickering sparks quietly disappeared.
This damn Gong Cheng, he is really experienced. Even the timing of his words is so precise, as if he has seen through Du Yu's true colors.
Gong Cheng: "The fire attribute demonic energy in your body has been exhausted, which is not conducive to the growth of the little fire fox."
Du Yu remained motionless: "I'll keep it for her."
Gong Cheng was unhappy, and his eyes were so vicious that he knew what he was talking about.
Looking at the student who was talking nonsense, his face darkened: "You are tired."
Du Yu did not respond. What Gong Jiao said was indeed true. Even standing at attention for such a long time would make one exhausted, let alone drawing a bow and arrow.
"I don't like him. He doesn't believe us." Xiao Fen Yang's voice suddenly came into his mind, "I still have a lot of fire demon breath, hidden."
Du Yu twisted his fingers that were pinching the tendon string, and persuaded in his mind: "Teacher Gong is just like this, Xiao Fenyang, he has been helping us all the time."
"Hmm."
Gong Cheng: "Your fingers must be hurting."
Du Yu: “…”
"No words? Good." Gong Cheng sneered and walked slowly around Du Yu, "It seems that you are more courageous than I thought.
Demon Tamer, a glamorous term, a title that many people dream of becoming. "
Gong Cheng stood behind Du Yu and wiped his wet face: "However, mediocre people are still mediocre even if they become demon tamers by chance.
They only have a chosen body, but their spirit is barren and their will is weak, so pitiful that they are contemptible. "
A deep voice came from behind him: "Tell me, Du Yu, why did you become a demon tamer?"
Du Yu: "A rain of paper cranes has turned me into a demon tamer."
"No." Gong Cheng walked around Du Yu and shook his head gently, "I didn't ask about your luck, nor did I ask why God chose you.
What I want to ask is why you choose to tame monsters."
Du Yu: "I want to make some money, pay off some debts, and fill my stomach."
Gong Cheng: “That sounds very old-fashioned.”
Du Yu licked the rain on his lips and said, "I want a brilliant new life, and I want my story to be romantic."
Gong Cheng was very disdainful: "It's even more old-fashioned."
Du Yu looked at Gong Cheng and said word by word: "I want to travel through the mountains and rivers of Daxia and see all the stars and clouds in the night sky.
I want a bow that can open the gates of heaven, and an arrow that can burn everything to ashes!
I will pick the leaves of Kunlun’s twin sacred trees to make my bed, and use the fire feathers of the mysterious Golden Crow clan as a blanket.
I also want some pets that love me, and people that I love."
Gong Cheng was silent for a moment, then said calmly, "It is much more specific."
After receiving such a response, Du Yu grinned and said, "I made up the rest of it on the spot. I just wanted to make some money to fill my stomach."
Gong Cheng: "To fill my stomach."
Du Yu nodded gently: "Yes."
In the heavy rain, Gong Cheng walked around to Du Yu. He had his eyes narrowed, but now layers of demonic aura were burning on his body.
Under the protection of the demonic breath, no more rain wet his eyes, and Gong Cheng finally opened his eyes.
He looked at Du Yu quietly for a while, and suddenly said: "You can't hold on any longer."
This was indeed the case. Du Yu's arms and hands had been sore for a long time, and his feet were numb.
Gong Cheng: "Go back and return the little fire fox to the school. Then go to the Monster Bureau for help and adopt a functional monster pet to do some odd jobs. You can still survive."
Du Yu looked at Gong Cheng quietly and silently tightened the bowstring.
Gong Cheng: "You can't hold on any longer."
Boom!
There were bursts of thunder and the heavy rain seemed to be turning into a rainstorm.
Gong Cheng: "Just stop being a demon tamer. Find a job, or continue going to school and apply for hardship assistance. You may even get a scholarship if you work hard."
A flash of lightning flashed across the dark rainy sky, illuminating Gong Cheng's dark, scarred face.
Gong Cheng: "There are so many roads, go back and choose."
Du Yu: "I..."
"Hmm?" Gong Cheng leaned forward and whispered.
Du Yu: "I choose the one under my feet."
Gong Cheng showed a playful look on his face: "I believe you can successfully complete the training and pass the assessment. But you are getting further and further away from the title of excellent student. You are short-sighted and talk nonsense.
For the sake of a magic weapon, he did not hesitate to exhaust the fire attribute magic breath in his body and ignored the little fire fox. This is not backbone, but just a momentary impulse.
Maybe you should really return the little Firefox to the academy. You don't deserve it."
Du Yu frowned slightly: "I told you, I have a fire-attributed demonic aura in my body."
"It seems that you can finally prove something to me." Gong Cheng sneered. With a vicious look in his eyes, he disdained to argue anything.
"Lei Yutian, you are so unlucky. Absorb the fire attribute aura as soon as possible. Let me see the flame on your bow before I reach the dormitory building." Gong Cheng turned around and left, "Don't say I didn't give you a chance."
Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!
The next moment, the silent black wood of the demon soldier became extremely hot, and there was a sizzling sound, as if it was activated, and steam immediately spread out.
Gong Cheng's departing figure suddenly stopped!
Amid the sound of the heavy rain, the crackling sound of the black wooden bow was drowned out. What really made Gong Cheng stand still was the feeling of being locked in!
Gong Cheng slowly turned his head, and in his peripheral vision he saw a shocking scene.
He believed in his own judgment and thought he saw Du Yu clearly.
But obviously, the child behind him is more patient, more survivable, and more insidious and cunning than imagined!
Under the pouring rain, the black wood of the demon soldier was burning fiercely, with steam floating. On the black string, a fire was ready to go!
This is not a flame, this is a raging flame! A fiercely burning flame!
The boy's bright eyes were hotter than ever before. They pierced through the dense rain curtain and fixed their gazes on the scar under his eye.
The boy's sonorous and powerful voice floated through the rain and into my ears: "I didn't tell lies, nor did I deceive you."
Gong Cheng finally turned around and faced Du Yu.
Lightning flashed across the dark sky, making Gong Cheng's stiff scarred face even more terrifying: "Including the part where the leaves of the sacred tree were used to make the bed and the golden crow's fire feathers were used as a blanket?"
Du Yu nodded gently: "After eating."
