Chapter 149: Blue-tailed Gecko
Inita Academy, circular restaurant.
This restaurant located next to the tall yew forest is very unique. There are pillars at the bottom, and on the pillars is a restaurant like a circular corridor. In the center of the circle is a special tree with blue leaves. The unique and light blue leaves dot the branches, which is very beautiful, and the faint fragrance of flowers is elegant.
Because the class has just ended, the stairs leading to the restaurant are full of students. Everyone is wearing white or light brown student uniforms, talking about today's things.
At the end of the year, Inita Academy will usher in the first large-scale exam, and there will be lively competitions within the grade.
Unlike the previous extraordinary animals cultivated by the academy, this time it is required that the students cultivate extraordinary animals from scratch, so the level is also uneven.
Although uneven, compared with the partners cultivated uniformly by the academy, the various interesting fighting methods at low sequences are also eye-opening and full of laughter.
"Today is the final, right? The top 16 have already been announced." The students gathered around the dining table and talked. In the air inside the circular restaurant, a number of flying autonomous units that looked like cartoon birds carried the prepared lunch and placed it in front of the table of the students who ordered the lunch. Then they flew out of the restaurant and continued to fly back and forth.
"Yes, although everyone is not strong, the process is much more interesting than the previous competitions."
"Some only know one trick, floating in the air. As long as they lift the opponent into the air, the opponent can't move. Some imitated the phantom rats in the entrance examination, making their partners big and powerful, so that they can easily scare away the opponent. Some people even thought of using the stench to suffocate the opponent." Although it was a fight between novices, there were many tricks.
While everyone was talking, Heshia was also sitting in the restaurant with her companions to eat lunch.
"Heshia made it to the top 16 this time. So, there are two people in our class who made it to the top 16. The results are pretty good."
"I was very worried at first. I always felt that other classes were stronger, but later I found that they were actually about the same." Agnes patted her chest lightly, indicating that there was no big problem.
"Qiu Shu is at that table over there. It looks like the boys in the class are collectively treating him to a meal today. They are probably cheering him up." Mel pointed to a lively table not far away.
"I want to treat Heshia to something good too~" Mel raised her hand, her eyes sparkling.
Mel undoubtedly liked Heshia. They often acted together at school. She wanted to express her love, but she didn't know how to do it. So all she could think of was to treat Heshia to something good. This was the same as the only way she could think of to get close to her when she had a pet, which was to buy delicious food.
Heshia felt a little embarrassed about this because Mel often did this and she had nothing to give in return. But she was afraid that refusing would make the simple Mel sad, so she could only smile and agree.
"Okay, but it doesn't have to be too expensive. After we win, we'll go to the city to play together."
"Yeah." Mel nodded happily, and Heshia finally agreed to go shopping with her.
Soon after, the specially made T4-grade blue-decorated pastry in the circular restaurant was served. Its appearance was similar to that of a hamburger, but it was not. The bottom and middle layers were soft and glutinous dough like mochi, and in the middle was light blue ice cream, light purple sweet potato ointment, with a light salty taste, and the translucent dough on the top was sprinkled with fine blue petals, which was very beautiful.
Cut off a small piece with a knife, and then put it into the mouth with a fork and spoon, and a light sweet and cold taste overflowed. Each layer had a slightly different taste. There were three layers in total, and each layer was separated by mochi.
In the afternoon, the game began.
"Next, please invite our classmate Heshiya from Class 2 of Grade 1 to come on stage."
In a large open-air courtyard in the tall purple fir forest, the students looked curiously and eagerly at the gray-haired girl in the middle who walked into the field, and opposite her was a black-haired boy.
"The third game, Heshiya vs. O'Connor."
Heshiya recognized the other party, who was the boy who chose the blue wolf cub during the re-examination.
"Heshia, I remember you. You left a deep impression on me." The boy opposite wiped his nose, which was cold in winter, and was very interested.
"Let's have a showdown today to see who is the strongest in the grade!" He took a big step to the side, pointed to the sky with one hand, and shouted with great momentum, welcoming the loud cheers of his classmates behind him.
There are about 300 first-year students in Iridium Academy, which is not too many, but not too few. Everyone is familiar with the slightly famous ones, such as Heshia and Qiu Shu from Class 2, O'Connor from Class 3, Pau La from Class 6, and Ocas from Class 7.
In the past, Heshia always felt that the honor of being the first in the grade was a very distant thing. After all, it was Iridium Academy, and there must be many geniuses and fierce competition. But now she realized that many things were unconsciously magnified by herself.
There are nine classes in the first grade, and the strength of each class is not much different. Among them, there are only 2-3 people who are really outstanding. In total, there are only about 20 people in the first echelon. Among these 20 people, there are only 3-5 people who can be on the same level as her. In other words, she actually faces only a few competitors.
She had not estimated her position before, but she didn't know that in the eyes of her classmates, she has always been a favorite to win.
"That's Heshia, the top three in the entrance examination of Iridium Academy." Even the classmates who cheered for O'Connor were worried about whether they could defeat this girl.
"Then the game begins!" The teacher in the middle announced, and then O'Connor waved his hand, and three black figures rushed into the venue. These were three gray-haired and black-eyed meerkats.
The original Sequence 2, the Phantom Eye Meerkats, are extraordinary animals that live in groups and are united. They will unite to release illusions to scare away and frighten the enemy.
After all, he cultivated them himself. Being able to cultivate three Sequence 2 in a few months, O'Connor is already a leader in the first grade.
"Fish." Heshia simply said, and a large silver fish jumped out of the pool beside her and floated beside her.
Compared to the appearance when the girl first caught it, it was twice as big now, nearly one meter long. This was probably the result of the extraordinary magic stimulation and sufficient nutrition after the promotion.
Swimming around Heshia, the large fish flashed with silver scales, and then, at Heshia's wave, it rushed directly to the three meerkats on the opposite side.
"Three-Eyed Illusion!" O'Connor roared, and then the three meerkats stood up, opened their hands, and their six eyes radiated circles of ripples.
In the eyes of the big fish, the space around it seemed to be twisted and reversed. The sky and the earth became strange, and the black eyes of the three meerkats stared at it as if they were bleeding. They swayed and danced, like indescribable ancient gods. Various sounds began to be heard in its ears, making it anxious and uneasy.
Regardless, the floating silver rock fish continued to rush forward, but its body shape and sense of direction began to become strange, and it could not grasp it. It crashed into the body of the meerkat as tall as a mountain, but there was nothing, as if it fell into the abyss of chaos. The surroundings were all kinds of chaotic and confusing, and nothing could be seen clearly.
In the eyes of the audience and outsiders, this scene was that the big silver fish hit the ground, then swung its tail left and right, twisted its body like a cricket pupa, and never got up again.
Various laughters rang out inside and outside the venue, and Heshia had to press her forehead lightly with her hand, feeling embarrassed.
Fish have weaker mental awareness than mammals and reptiles. Although the Silver Rock Fish has advanced, it is still a shortcoming compared to other supernatural creatures of the same level. When facing mental attacks, it will suffer a great loss.
As a last resort, Heshia had to cough and shout again.
"Sashimi rice!"
This sentence made the big fish lying on the ground suddenly bounce up reflexively, and then flipped around randomly, flying around in the venue, until it accidentally hit a meerkat that released an illusion.
The cold fish tail hit the meerkat's face like a slap, and the salt water splashed into its eyes, making it blink. At this time, the illusion also loosened, and finally the Silver Rock Fish regained some sobriety. It also realized that it was interfered with by the illusion just now. After all, it is not a supernatural being of Sequence 2. If such an illusion is weak, it will be easily detected.
Then it accelerated again, its silver body shone, becoming as hard and heavy as stone, and then it hit the meerkat hard, knocking it down.
After dealing with one, it was only a matter of time before the remaining two were dealt with. Just like that, half a minute later, all three meerkats were declared out.
"The third game, Heshia won."
"The next is the semi-finals." The students discussed enthusiastically.
The competition continued, and soon the top four were decided, namely Heshia, Okas, Paula, and Rin.
"In the semi-finals, Heshia will play against Okas, and Paula will play against Rin."
Shortly after the announcement, Heshia saw the boy on the opposite side appear on the stage.
Compared with other students, Okas is always taciturn. He has brown skin and many scars on his body. It is said that he grew up in the wild and was a student specially recruited by the academy. Although he is very backward in theoretical courses, he is a rare genius among his peers in training and fighting.
"Let's start." After appearing on the stage, Okas didn't say much nonsense. With a wave of his hand, a green figure fell from behind him.
Dragon Sequence 3: Green Tail Gecko (Gecko), its head is about one meter long, its body is flat and lying on the ground, it has a pair of big eyes, and its body is covered with small light green scales.
This is difficult. Heshia looked at the big gecko on the opposite side and shook her head secretly in her heart. Her silver rock fish was not a special fighting partner, but the one on the opposite side was not.
The extraordinary creatures of the Dragon Sequence are often stronger than those of the same level. This is not a joke, but a fact. Apart from the special Blood Eye Sequence, it is difficult to defeat the Dragon Sequence in a battle of the same level.
However, she can only try and do her best. In fact, being able to reach the semi-finals was beyond her expectations, because she did not put too much energy on it at the beginning.
"Rockfish charge!"
Heshia pointed, and the silver scales on the silver rockfish in front of her floated, and then formed thick ice spikes to cover the body, and then continued to accelerate and rushed towards the green-tailed gecko on the ground.
Because of the speed, the green-tailed gecko on the opposite side could not dodge quickly, and its forelimbs and half of its body were directly hit by the silver rockfish, and a cut was also scraped on its scales.
"Flame counterattack!" Okas did not care and commanded calmly.
The green-tailed gecko turned its neck, opened its mouth, and sprayed green flames at the silver rock fish. After being roasted for a while, the silver rock fish flew away, with white smoke coming out of its body and many scales being blackened.
"One more time." Heshia shook her head. She didn't have many choices. She could only make one last try. If she couldn't knock the other party unconscious this time, the silver rock fish would have no extra magic means.
The silver rock fish swam to the sky, climbed up with difficulty, and then fell rapidly after becoming a black dot in the sky, using the energy of the dive to continuously accelerate.
The silver fish tail kept swinging, adjusting its direction, turning into a large silver arc, crossing the sky, and finally crashing into the green-tailed gecko lying on the ground.
The ground was plowed into shallow gullies. With a loud bang, the silver rock fish and the green-tailed gecko collided with each other, carrying it away, rolling on the ground for several rounds before finally stopping.
The two extraordinary animals were now flipped on the ground, losing their ability to move. The silver rock fish seemed to be exhausted, and the green-tailed lizard fainted.
"How do we determine the winner?" The students discussed, and then the referee's countdown sounded on the stage.
"Ten... nine... eight... seven... four... three..." Finally, when the number three was read, the blue-tailed gecko finally slowly raised its head and climbed up, showing the strong body and endurance of the Dragon Sequence.
"Ocas wins!"
Seeing this result, the girl shook her head slightly, but there was no disappointment on her face. It was not a loss to get into the top four in this competition, and it was even beyond her expectations, because she didn't think that the silver rock fish was very good at fighting at first. After all, the advancement direction did not specifically strengthen this aspect, and the means were also very simple, only relying on collision.
The silver rock fish was lifted up with force and put back into the pool beside it to heal its wounds. After a while, it recovered and became lively again.
Back in the audience, Heshia and her classmates continued to watch the rest of the game. As the dark horse of this competition, Rin, a student who had never heard of before, defeated 'Golden' Paula and became the student who competed with Ocas for the championship.
"Owl claws!" The cold-eyed girl on the stage shouted, and then two special gray-blue night owls flapped their wings and flew towards Orcas's blue-tailed gecko.
Withering Sequence 3: Frost Claw Owl, a variant of Dark Claw Owl, is famous for its ice claw tearing skills and is more cold-resistant.
The emerald green flames sprayed in the air, and the two frost claw owls flew through the flames and pounced on the gecko. The sharp ice claws directly embedded in the scales and flesh, tearing them apart, causing the gecko to scream in pain.
Unlike the previous gentle competition, this final finally showed a bit of cruelty and bloodiness, which made many students who grew up in the city uncomfortable.
"Turn over." Orcas's expression remained unchanged, as if he had never shown any panic or anxiety.
The blue-tailed gecko flipped on the ground, and although the wound was torn bigger, it also forced the two frost claw owls to leave its body.
"Enshroud yourself in flames." Okas commanded again, and then the blue-tailed gecko spit flames on itself, bathing in flames, and the wounds that had been torn open before also condensed in the flames, no longer bleeding.
"Dive down in the dark!" The stern eyes on the opposite side stared at the blue-tailed gecko and ordered again.
The two frost-clawed owls also climbed up quickly, then shrank, and then fell rapidly, with a faint white light on their bodies. The ice blue on their claws became brighter and brighter, and began to be coated with a layer of sharp ice, and the bird's beak also condensed hard, like a spike.
The two frost-clawed owls swooped down one after the other, and the sharp claws scraped off large pieces of scales and flesh on the back of the gecko, and then one of them directly hooked the gecko's forelimbs, carrying it several meters away and lifting it into the air.
"Sharp claws." Okas shook his head at this and commanded the gecko to fight back with its claws.
"Compared to other reptiles, the bite force of the gecko is not strong, but its claws are still somewhat desirable."
With its sharp claws grabbing the frost claw owl, the blue-tailed gecko spit out flames to its heart's content, causing the opponent to fall down in a charred state and lose its fighting power. After that, the wounded gecko fell to the ground again, staring at the frost claw owl circling in the sky.
Neither side had much leeway, so they became cautious.
Finally, the flying frost claw owl felt a little tired and began to dive, and the gecko was also nervous at this time. It was not until the opponent was getting closer and closer that it suddenly turned around, as if it was going to escape.
Under the high-speed dive, the frost claw owl could not give up, so it accelerated again and rushed over.
In the meantime, the gecko raised its tail behind it and blocked the frost claw owl, forcing it to grab it with one claw during the dive. Taking advantage of this gap, the blue-tailed gecko bent and rolled up, bit the frost claw owl's wings, and spit out flames.
After a chaotic fight and struggle, the last Frost Clawed Owl fell down and lost its fighting power. The gecko that fell back to the ground, although its tail was torn off, still stood tall and stepped on the body of the Frost Clawed Owl.
"Ocas, the champion of the Blue Tailed Gecko!"
Warm cheers rang out in the venue. In this way, with many students discussing and celebrating, the first semester of the Iridium Academy slowly came to an end.
Without too much excitement and publicity, everything developed step by step. Students slowly adapted to the style of Iridium, found their own fun and direction, and accumulated experience and ability to cope with the future.
After the competition, Heshia also said goodbye to her companions and walked towards the lake in the back mountain again. Her training as a singer will also enter the next stage.
The recent plot has been a bit bland 0 0. I am thinking about how to adjust it.
Now is not the time to really cut into the main storyline. Many shining characters in the future also need growth and foreshadowing.
