"Clang—!"
A huge sound that was almost deafening exploded in the air of the Tracen training grounds. The sound was not like a statue falling, but more like a high-speed car crashing into a water-filled pork carcass. All the onlookers were frozen by the flying figure.
Hiikawa's vision was a blur of a shapeless object. He had used his most violent trump card, and finally, with a "smokescreen" as the end, he had firmly landed on the cement floor outside the turf. The world fell silent.
On the training ground, Shibasaki's "clang" sound landed on the ground. Kitahara's small notebook fell from his hand, his hands trembling. The three sisters, Rudolf, and Air Groove were all wide-mouthed, looking at the two mounds of earth that were like the work of a god of destruction.
The protagonist of the incident, Maruzensky, was maintaining her forward-leaning posture, motionless. The side effect of [Emerald Dragon] had caused a fierce backlash, and at this moment, the attack had been amplified several times, leaving only the contraction and convulsion of the torn muscles, and the endless fear and terror.
The thought that "a living person cannot be found in this wilderness" was also on Hiikawa's mind, and he was drenched in cold sweat. He had pushed her to her limit.
"Trainer…?" she tried to call out, her voice trembling like an autumn leaf. She knelt down, and the shadow of the grass moved slightly.
In an instant, Maruzensky's fighting spirit collapsed. She wanted to stand up, but she couldn't. The side effect of this [Green Duckweed Dragon] was that the strong desire for confrontation had now been completely shattered. Her stiff body, with every step she took on the hard ground, was like stepping on a knife's edge, and she was completely unable to stand up.
"Quick! Call for help! Medic! School nurse!" Kitahara was the first to react, shouting hysterically. Shibasaki also came back to his senses and quickly fumbled for his phone on the ground. The entire Tracen training ground was in chaos.
In the infirmary of Tracen Academy, the smell of disinfectant was pungent, making people sleepy. Hiikawa, lying on the hospital bed, was covered in a wet towel, emitting a "I'm already dead, don't save me" kind of peace. His transcendent physique was also secretly strengthening. His body, which had been hit head-on, was not broken, but the muscles in his soft tissues were slightly bruised, and not a single bone was broken. A medical miracle.
On the other side, Maruzensky was looking at him. Looking at the student who was being punished, she held her school uniform with both hands and spoke word by word.
In the infirmary, Kitahara and Shibasaki were on the other side, silent. A quilt was covering them, and they couldn't say a word.
"...Clang…thud…"
The two sounds on the bed, Shibasaki angrily threw the towel on his face. He propped himself up with one hand on the bed, his horns almost broken, and his face was taller than the heavy punishment that had just been released from prison.
"Trainer!" Maruzensky looked up, her eyes full of tears. "I'm sorry! I… I didn't mean to! I…"
"Stop." Hiikawa stopped her from continuing her self-blame. He slowly sat up, his body and back let out a "pop," and then he looked at Maruzensky with an extremely bad look, his voice mixed with some wind from the corner of his mouth.
"I was just thinking, am I too stable? How dare you use your body as a decoy? Are you the champion?"
The medical room was silent for a moment. Maruzensky was stunned, her tears hanging on her eyelashes, forgetting to fall. Kitahara's expression became complicated.
Shibasaki let out a cold snort, his gaze towards Hiikawa's eyes, from admiration to looking at a monster. He understood! This trainer was using his own method to save this desperate horse girl! He deliberately provoked her, using himself as a target, using a method that was close to self-destruction, to solve Maruzensky's inner depression and fear!
What kind of noble character was this! This deep and fatherly warmth!
"Hiikawa…" Shibasaki's voice trembled slightly. "You… you are a good person!"
"Huh?" Hiikawa gave him a strange look.
"Your brain is also broken? My good card was given to my sister. Thank you." He pointed to the two who were attacking him with his strategy, and a pair of purple-blue hard fists squeezed out a rather ugly smile. "Okay, stop crying. Your face is covered in snot and tears, you're dead."
His words were full of momentum, and he immediately used a grin to say coldly: "It's your own business to use that, and now you're acting like this. Why do I feel so strange?"
"Good… Trainer-san is also difficult to say. He's looking at me." She whispered, feeling that the gaze was a bit strange, and a bit more.
Hiikawa nodded. Looking at the side effect, he still needed at least half a month of conditioning.
"Okay, get up and pack your things. You're on this matter." He waved his hand as if he were a beggar, and then re-examined the posture of "I want to lean on the recliner."
"But, trainer, your injury…"
"I said, I'm not dead." Hiikawa closed his eyes, not bothering to beat around the bush.
"Tonight, go to Kitahara's house. If you want to drink, this matter is not over."
At night, the "Liangting" izakaya in Tracen was at its most noisy. The smell of charcoal fire, the "sizzling" sound of roasting, the rich aroma of meat and the smell of smoke were mixed together, making people's mouths water.
A long table was occupied by the trainers of Tracen Academy. Hiikawa, Kitahara, Shibasaki, and the trainer from the three-sister group, Murakawa, were sitting around a table. On the table were grilled chicken, roasted chicken skin, roasted chicken heart, edamame, and iced beer.
Hiikawa had a colorful expression on his face, but he was expressionlessly chewing on the raw cabbage in his mouth. It was as if he was not drinking, but taking medicine.
"Come, come, eat something." Shibasaki pushed the plate of roasted chicken thighs in front of him. "With your face like this today, you have to supplement it."
"Hmph." Hiikawa squeezed out a word from his teeth.
"By the way, your Maruzensky is really… a fierce person." Murakawa, who was wearing glasses, pushed up his glasses, and then took a sip of beer that was not light. "Where is that a fierce person, it's simply a natural disaster."
Kitahara smiled bitterly and raised his glass. "In short, for this guy Hiikawa who didn't die, and also to celebrate Maruzensky's… rebirth. Cheers!"
Hiikawa didn't say anything. He picked up the wine glass, his eyes were still dark, and he quietly looked outside the window.
The three sisters held up their neat cups, their eyes full of curiosity. "So amazing! Trainer Hiikawa can even design shoes!"
"His name is really good!"
"He's not the trainer I know before!" Beside them, Kitahara and Shibasaki were also twitching their mouths.
This ghost-like opening made the skin of several people feel cold.
After a few small episodes, the table finally became lively again. The cups clinked together, and the circle was also getting wider.
After three rounds of drinking, the last piece of roasted chicken on the table was gone, and the topic on their faces was also a little more serious, and they walked into the corridor. The few drunkards were also looking outside the window.
"How is it, Kitahara?" Shibasaki was the first to look away. "Did you fail the test again?"
Kitahara drank the last sip of beer in his glass and gave it to himself to fill it up. "How can it be that easy?" He let out a rather ugly smile. "I failed the Central Trainer qualification exam… I failed again."
"Failed again?" A rare serious action from Shibasaki, his tone was also worried, but more of it was the helplessness of "as expected."
The Central Tracen Academy trainer qualification exam, even if the prodigy Irie just took the exam, he was still facing the wall in front of them. It was a wall of training. From equestrian training, exercise physiology to track and field, psychology, five categories, you had to be better than the students of the University of Tokyo Medical School. The interview was even more difficult.
This was the biggest test for the student group, and even if you didn't look at how many people were in front of you, there was no one behind you. They wanted to take the Central Trainer exam, and it was even more difficult than the Kasumigaseki pull-up race and the Arima Kinen.
"But what's the point of thinking so much." Shibasaki patted Kitahara on the shoulder and comforted him. "It's good that you are in Tracen. The road to heaven is vast and you are free."
