The floating light spots gathered in the air, forming a temporary transparent barrier, while the dark-clawed owl made a tearing sound on the barrier, and bits of debris scattered.
During this gap, the phoenix continued to fly higher, and finally rushed out of the woods into the open and sunny sky.
Bathed in the sun, its entire bird was filled with a special light. After spinning in the air, it swooped down like a bomber.
The light emitted from the body was like substance, becoming more and more dazzling and concentrated, until it finally hit the dark-clawed owl in the forest. The bright energy exploded, making the dark-clawed owl dizzy from the impact. The magic power was also scattered everywhere, and he was exhausted and lost his resistance.
"The light cotton bird wins."
"Now there is another one in the top eight."
After the battle, Bessemer on the opposite side held the dark-clawed owl and comforted him softly, while Hesia also held the light-clawed owl and went over.
Looking at Hesia who was approaching, Bessimo seemed unhappy and evasive, probably thinking that this classmate was here to laugh at him or say something touching and proud.
"Hello, my name is Hesia, can I be your friend?" Hesia stretched out her hand slightly nervously.
Such behavior would have been almost impossible in the past, but Heshia decided to change something in high school. No matter whether the result was good or bad, she wanted to try it and do things that she had never dared to think about before.
She has never taken the initiative to make friends, and has always accepted them passively. This can certainly put her at a psychological advantage and not be easily rejected and hurt, but sometimes she also secretly envies those who laugh in the sunshine.
"Me?" Besimo was also a little surprised and asked again.
"Well, because of the sparring just now, I found that you are also very powerful, uh, and a very good person. I was wondering if I could get to know..." Heshia was a little flustered. After all, it was her first time and she wanted to find out who she was. An explanation that rationalizes your behavior, or makes it seem less offensive.
People who take the initiative will always suffer some losses. If they are rejected, they will not only feel sad, but may even be laughed at by the people around them. Heshia knows this, but she still wants to get out of the circle and solidified habits that she has repeated for more than ten years. , to embrace new possibilities in life.
Seeing Hesia's somewhat clumsy explanation, Besimo covered her mouth and chuckled, and then held Hesia's hand in response.
"Well, my name is Bessemer, maybe we can get acquainted."
"Thank you." After shaking hands, Heshia smiled shyly, and then imitated Mel's usual behavior, slightly raising the cotton bird in her arms to cover her cheek.
Fortunately, after the first ice-breaking, the conversation became smoother. The two sat under the tree, watching the game continuing in the open space, and then discussed the pros and cons of the two sides, and occasionally reviewed the previous game between them. The battle between them talks about their respective shortcomings.
In this way, the semi-finals game slowly arrived.
This time Heshia commanded three partners to win with difficulty, but also consumed a lot of magic power, making them at a disadvantage in the semi-finals, and ultimately ended in failure.
"It's fourth place." After the competition, although Heshia was a little disappointed, she also breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at the figures continuing to move forward in the woods. They were illuminated by the sun, as if they were shining with golden light.
She didn't seem to take first place, and she didn't care that much. She was caressing her three friends under the sunset, her head resting on the warm hair of the electric sheep, and looking sideways at the scenery not far away.
At around five o'clock in the afternoon, the competition also came to an end. The winner in the end was not Doge, who was favored at the beginning, nor Agnes, the monitor, but a short and fat young man with a group of people behind him. A simple and honest big bear, holding a light yellow parrot in his hand, and there is a curly-tailed puppy at his feet.
"Congratulations to Mu Yuan, who won the championship in this competition with his white-shirted bear, tiger-eyed parrot, and tailwind dog~" the teacher announced passionately, and then there was a burst of cheers in the woods.
Then Heshia and seven other classmates also climbed onto the small wooden platform in the forest and took photos with their friends in the sunset, holding the newly harvested T4 pet food in their hands.
…
"So, the final reward was all fed to these little guys." Mel put his hands on his knees and leaned over to watch Heshia feeding several little guys spinning around, including not only the electric sheep following Heshia , wind conch, and Mel's spin-back turtle, as well as Bessemer's red-backed dog, dark-clawed owl, and golden lynx.
It was almost a meal. The nine little guys ate the rewards they had just received, and then sat under the sunset sky in the evening.
Heshia and Besimo sat together and talked about each other. Heshia also gradually learned that Besimo originally grew up in the North District and had wanted to come to Yuanting Academy to study a long time ago.
"Although the education in North District 1 is good, I still had a lot of suspense about entering Yuanting Academy. I was very nervous when I came to take the re-examination." Bessiemo brushed his hair from the wind behind his ears and talked about the scene at that time. .
"Heshia must be the girl who chose the indigo snake at that time. I also saw you in the crowd at that time. Some people also speculated whether the chosen animal was related to the person's personality. I also misunderstood you at that time."
"It's okay, after all, we didn't know each other at that time." Hesia gently shook her five fingers in the wind to show that she didn't care.
"Hesia is so nice." Besimo lightly hugged his knees and looked sideways at the girl beside him.
Then she seemed to remember something, took out a whistle from her arms, then stood up and blew it, the tone was long and changed several times.
Not long after, a small black dot flew from the sky, getting closer and closer, and then landed on Bessimo's wrist. It was an eagle with gray and red feathers. It moved left and right on Bessimo's wrist, sending out bursts of... A cry.
"It's a red iron eagle, my companion." Bessimo introduced, stroking the eagle's back with one hand.
"My companion should still be sleeping in the dormitory right now, or taking care of the ducks." Hesia stood up slightly distressed, thinking that she couldn't take her out to meet new friends today.
"Hehehe, the snake taking care of the duckling is really interesting." Bessimo chuckled, shaking slightly.
Then she extended her hand and invited Hesia.
"I live over at the Purple Mansion. Are you free to come over tomorrow?"
Heshia was about to agree, but at this moment she noticed that Mel pouted beside her and seemed a little unhappy, as if she was being left out by Heshia.
"Okay, but I will bring one more person, okay?" She put her hands lightly on Mel's shoulders, making the girl who heard these words suddenly happy.
"Of course it's no problem. I didn't notice it just now, so you two should be invited." Bessimo nodded.
"Then it's settled."
In the setting sun and wind, the three people held hands together, and in the gradually dusk sky, little stars twinkled.
