Chapter 19 – Dog year


"What are you talking about? It's so lively."

 

At this moment, Wei Ya, who had wandered around somewhere, walked in through the back door.

 

Seeing the five of them sitting in a circle, with a good relationship, a bright smile appeared on her face.

 

"I heard Chronicle talking about what happened a few days ago," Ginger Tea replied from the side.

 

Upon hearing this, Wei Ya sat down on the chair next to the podium with her arms crossed and said with a smile, "Did he tell you guys that he single-handedly took down a weeping ghost?"

 

"Really, teacher?"

 

Ginger Tea widened her beautiful eyes, still somewhat incredulous.

 

Seeing Wei Ya's confident tone, she had to accept this fact.

 

Compared to the pure astonishment of the other three, her current mood was actually more complicated.

 

Because the core material for the first combat card she created was a blue-quality Weeping Ghost.

 

The cards she made also inherited some characteristics of this ghost to a large extent.

 

In other words, if the summoning card made by Chronicle could restrain the Weeping Ghost, then it would probably be easy to defeat the cards in her hand.

 

This made her feel anxious.

 

According to the words of a family elder, the provincial competition that will be held soon only provides three spots for the school.

 

And these three spots will undoubtedly be selected from the top students in the Elite Class, which means a probability of five out of three.

 

But now, there is a student in the class who is stronger than the four of them and whose cards seem to be very effective against her, Chronicle.

 

This has turned the originally reasonable five out of three into a slightly embarrassing four out of two.

 

Looking at this difficult qualification rate and thinking about what is involved behind the competition, she felt that she was in a bad situation.

 

She couldn't help but sigh in her heart and secretly made a decision.

 

On the other hand, Chronicle, seeing her changing expressions like a Sichuan opera face-changing, and occasionally looking at himself, thought that he unintentionally made the little girl feel inferior.

 

He considerately said, "It's not a big deal. If everyone is present, it would definitely be easier to deal with the Weeping Ghost than me."

 

Upon hearing this, the four students hadn't reacted yet, but Wei Ya had already joined the Hyūga Hinata family and rolled her eyes.

 

She found that she seemed to have not understood this student well enough.

 

"This kid… is quite naive."

 

Seeing the painting style of their little geniuses gradually becoming gloomy, Wei Ya worried that Chronicle would continue to persecute them with words, so she quickly announced the end of class.

 

Compared to the parallel class and the key class, the Elite Class is indeed more relaxed in these aspects.

 

However, before leaving, Wei Ya couldn't help but remind them:

 

"After you go back, rest well. If you have extra energy, think about how to use the materials you received today."

 

"I just received a notice: the teacher who will come to pick you up for the unified training will arrive at the latest the day after tomorrow, and may even come tomorrow afternoon."

 

"You must adjust your state as soon as possible. Based on my experience, this kind of practical activity is likely to give you a tough challenge right from the beginning."

 

"My suggestion is to make an equipment card, materialize it, and keep it by your side to increase your self-defense ability."

 

"Absolutely! Absolutely! Don't keep the spirit of the summoning card outside all the time! That can easily burn your brain!"

 

"If it is sent back by someone, I, as the class teacher, will also lose face."

 

After saying this, she turned her gaze to Chronicle, with a teasing smile on her face.

 

But Chronicle nodded without embarrassment, and put on a serious and upright look again.

 

As if Wei Ya's implication was not about him.

 

Wei Ya also felt bored, waved her hand, and let them go.

 

Outside the teaching building, looking at the cement road under his feet, Chronicle was in a daze.

 

After a while, he realized that he now lives in a single dormitory at the school.

 

Carrying a backpack that didn't contain much, he walked towards a secluded corner of the campus where there were hardly any people.

 

At this moment, a series of faint footsteps came from behind him.

 

Chronicle subconsciously turned around and saw Ginger Tea running up to him: "Is there something?"

 

"You walk so fast. I just blinked, and you've already walked so far."

 

Ginger Tea first complained, and then walked towards a nearby pavilion, apparently having something important to say.

 

Chronicle was a little surprised: they had no previous relationship, and becoming classmates was only a matter of the past two days.

 

Why would she want to talk to me privately,Chronicle thought carefully, although he was a little confused, he was curious about what the other party wanted to talk to him about, so he followed and sat down.

 

Inside the pavilion, Ginger Tea hesitated for a while, struggled for about half a minute, and then spoke, "Chronicle, can you help me with something?"

 

Chronicle didn't say anything, his gaze filled with doubt.

 

Facing such a gaze, Ginger Tea took a deep breath and said softly, "I want to form a study group with you, to exchange and improve our practical abilities…"

 

"This is a good thing, how can you say it's me helping you?" Chronicle smiled, but emphasized the tone of the second half of the sentence.

 

Since Ginger Tea chose to start with the words "help" naturally she didn't hide her meaning, so she explained the matter of the provincial competition.

 

Chronicle listened quietly, although he didn't show any expression on his face, he was somewhat surprised in his heart: he unintentionally received such a big favor from Wei Ya.

 

Originally, the spots that could only be obtained through competition were directly given to him by the other party.

 

"This is really…"Chronicle's mind was filled with complex emotions, but he didn't let it show on his face, still maintaining a calm gaze at Ginger Tea.

 

Seeing his gaze, Ginger Tea also gave up the idea of holding back and said directly, "Although we haven't fought before, I can probably guess that your strength should be stronger than the four of us."

 

"Just because I wiped out a Cry of Sorrow?" Chronicle said while eating the snacks that Lu Youyou had given him.

 

"No." Ginger Tea shook her head, "I knew Teacher Wei Ya before. From what I know about her, if she chose to take you to collect resources and let you choose materials first, it proves that in her heart, you are stronger than us."

 

After a slight pause, she said word by word, "I trust her judgment."

 

Upon hearing this, Chronicle couldn't help but laugh, "So what are you implying?"

 

"I want to exchange some of your time during the upcoming unified training period to conduct practical training with me." Ginger Tea said.

 

In her view, Chronicle's strength was already superior to hers, and the cards he held were likely to restrain her main battle card.

 

So, as long as she adapted to the rhythm of fighting against him, her strength would definitely improve, and she might easily win a competition spot.

 

Chronicle could probably guess her thoughts, and he couldn't help but ponder.
