Kill the Dragon

00012 # 2 Survival Training

After two days, Ihan and Kuro returned to their hideout after an evening search.

“Someone came and went. ”

The hideout is a mess. Someone rushes inside. He carried the food on his back, so there was nothing to steal. The opposing Pokémon seems to be worthless.

“Let's go somewhere else. We have a location here. ”

Ihan and Kuro wandered around looking for shelter. I had to get to the right spot before dark.

“It's a cave.”

Kuro looks for the cave and says: He had a good feeling. Lee knew that Kuro's sixth sense was excellent for two days living with Kuro. There was something that was hard to express simply by saying that it felt good. Lee had stumbled on what he had learned in class.

‘Short Term Seeker.’

Kuro's features are most likely short-term predictive. The ability to feel sensual for days, seconds, and days. It is a rare and excellent feature.

“There's someone inside. ”

Lee looked inside the cave. Something moves in the dark. He grabs the wooden spear.

“Who's there? I don't have any food left anyway. Suit yourself."

You hear voices in the cave. Lee was one step closer. The pupils settled as they moved.

Jose?

The boy in the cave was José. Jose sat down and sighed.

“You're hahn. And Kuro? It was dark, so I couldn't see. I've already eaten all my food. I put it in her belly before it was taken. ”

Jose said as if to do as he wished. Lee Han tilted his head.

“Jose, you've already eaten all the food? ”

Jose remembers Lee is a calm and judgmental boy. It was far from a class that ate food without planning.

“I twisted my ankle on the landing. It's hard to move. That's why I thought it'd be better to get rid of the food before it was taken. If you don't do anything, you'll last a week. ”

Jose was taking off his shoes. My right ankle is swollen.

Lee thought for a moment and said to Kuro,

“Kuro, make an entrance. Let's make this a hideout. ”

Kuro nods. I covered the entrance with the cloth I brought and disguised myself as a branch. I was quite warm because I stopped the wind from coming in. Jose looked at it with a surprised expression.

“Hahn, there's nothing good about being with me. ”

“There's no reason to leave it alone. And we lost our hideout. You won't be able to find a better dragonfly than this anymore. ”

When the day gets dark, Hangi rises. You hear a bug crawling around. The caverns that could not be lit were not comfortable. Ihan and Kuro tried to light a fire by rubbing the tree, but they wasted only time. A skilled skill is required to start a fire without any tools.

“Did you spend two days in a place like this? ”

Kuro looks at the bugs and says, His face is black but pale.

“Well, yeah. ”

Jose trembled. The cave was wet and cold. At the end of the cave, a stream of water flows. Lee walked to the corner while looking around the cave. There were signs of a fire.

“Jose, do you have a lighter? ”

Lee took the ashes to the tip of his nose. José sighs deeply.

“Hah, I can't help it. Ihan, Kuro. Don't tell anyone. My specialty is combustibility. ”

Jose opens his hands. The heat gathered and the air rose. The spark rises slightly.

“Wow! Amazing! Jose!”

Kuro was furious and said. When the bugs saw the fire, they were surprised and ran away. The humid air is warmer.

“It won't last long. Pick up some firewood around here. As you can see, the legs are a little uncomfortable moving around like this. ”

Ihan and Kuro gathered the firewood in front of the cave. Jose built a campfire with his firepower.

Tadak, tadak.

The burning campfire made everyone feel better. Just having a fire made me feel safe.

“Why did you keep it a secret? ”

Kuro asked Jose.

“I don't like to be noticed. Arc is a competition. If you outrank others or are exceptional, you will be quickly deterred. You know Del Simon, class A? It's a merger with you guys. He's called a genius, but he's under a lot of pressure in Class A. On the other hand, you can easily get a promotion if you follow it like everyone else. You can't reveal your superiority. You have to endure it until the very last moment. ”

“Something like that. ”

Kuro says it's hard to understand. Lee quickly understood. I knew the strange relaxation I felt in Jose. Jose has not always revealed his power. I did everything well on average. I am not a person who hates others. That was Jose's survival strategy.

“Ihan, you know what I mean? You're one of a kind. Psychic skills are low, but the rest are progressing abnormally fast. There was something about Dmitri in class B a long time ago, and he's restraining you with a lot of things. The D-class kids may admire you for being so classy, but not in B-class. I look at you with the eyes of the rival. ”

“I have low psychic scores. If we don't show them the overwhelming gap in the rest, they won't make it up. I can't be like you. ”

Jose's ability to fire was a very useful skill in the uninhabited world. I had a great advantage just by starting a fire. Above all, if you have fire, you can get food.

"It's possible. With Kuro's ability, ’

Lee fell asleep thinking clearly. The next day, Lee took Kuro to the beach. Jose waits at the hideout because he's struggling. Instead, he was responsible for disguising the hideout and collecting firewood.

“We have to catch fish. ”

Without fire, fish can't be caught and used as food. However, if there is a fire, the story changes.

“Han, do you know how to fish? ”

Kuro greets you. Lee shakes his head.

“It's not me, it's you. Kuro, you have a mind of your own. With that kind of power, you can focus and catch fish. ”

Advanced technology lifts moving creatures with impulse. Lee thought it would be possible for Kuro. Kuro was assigned to class B solely for psychic growth. Conceptual growth was also noticeably rapid. Psychic growth was just the opposite of slowed Ihan.

“Me, I got it? I-I can't! ”

“You have to. Or we could starve ourselves. We'll give Jose the rest of his rations. ”

“Ugh, ugh. ”

Kuro cries out. Sweat blobs formed on my dark skin.

“You can do it. Kuro, you're a psychic genius. ”

Ihan grabbed Kuro by the shoulder and said, Kuro closes his eyes and opens his eyes.

“I'll try. ”

Lee looked at Kuro's back. Kuro stands on a rock and looks at the water.

‘As long as Kuro concentrates, it is possible. Short-term foresight and telekinesis. I'm gonna read and catch the fish's movements. ’

Lee realized Kuro's potential. It is possible that the instructors do not expel Kuro with a weak personality.

Whoo-hoo!

Kuro's curly hair shakes. He muttered as if to say something in Japanese. It was like a strong implication. Blue Psychic Energy emanates from Kuro's Saccharman Pupil.

Gaaaah!

The currents move vigorously. There were traces of Kuro's psychic powers. The first time was a failure.

“It's okay, Kuro. One more time. ”

Lee cheered for Kuro. Kuro gained courage and continued to challenge. Psychic skills are high in mental consumption. Kuro was a mess, but he did his best to meet his expectations.

‘He's the first friend who trusted me. I won't let you down.’

Kuro has never used psychics with this much power. The movement of the fish was drawn in his head by itself. I instinctively knew where the fish were going.

"Now!"

He swings his arm into the air and clenches his fist.

Gaaaah!

The fish rises high in the water. A mind-blowing fish hits the rock and jumps up and down.

“I did it!”

Kuro is as happy as he is to run. I laughed out loud.

“Great! Kuro. Good job!”

Once he learned a trick, Kuro caught 4 fish. I wanted to catch more, but Kuro got tired and couldn't use his psychic abilities.

“That's enough. ”

“Did I help you? ”

Kuro said in a tired voice. His face was hollow. I felt like I had paid Yi 'han back. It relaxed Kuro's mind.

“Of course.”

Lee said with all his heart. Kuro played a really important role. Combining Jose and Kuro's abilities, the three of us will have no problem eating. It felt like a stuffy bow was pierced.

“Let's go back and bake it right now. I'm starving.”

Lee hurried to walk with the fish. The cave was even more subtly disguised. I couldn't even find it. Inside, José lights a fire.

“It's a fish! Jose! ”

Yihan shouts, Jose's eyes widen.

“How did you catch it? ”

“Kuro captured it with impulse. It's a great skill.”

“Kuroka?”

José looked unbelievable, too. I knew Kuro was good at psychics, but I didn't know it was this good. Capturing moving creatures with impulse is a high-end technique, not something first-graders do.

“Hehe.”

Kuro scratches his head and smiles. The boys clumsily trimmed the fish. I removed the intestines roughly and roasted them on a branch. A delicious smell spread through the cave. It was hard to wait. Everyone was starving.

“It's done. ”

As soon as I said that, I forgot that it was hot, and I ripped the flesh off the fish. They fall asleep in an orderly fashion. Three of them think the remaining four days will last.
