Firefly Journey

Chapter 165 Youth is a hastily written poem (8)

Locke felt a little uncomfortable when Jamie Roberts' name was mentioned.

This stems from the fact that, back in Eklin Academy, Locke also liked to appear in front of Finne from time to time, just like he does now.

Xiao Fei is naive; there are some things she can't see clearly, but that doesn't mean others can't see them either.

Jamie, as her brother, had the same mindset as her father and had long seen through Locke's little scheme.

Jamie had seen through this person's bad character, so he didn't want him to get close to Finney and had warned him about it.

Robert's family was a noble family in Radiant City. Even though Locke was under Mond's protection, he dared not speak ill of them, since he was only an adopted son, not a biological one.

"I'm leaving now. Let's hang out sometime sometime," Locke said.

Since the other party was going to find Jamie, he naturally couldn't follow them any further. Even if Jamie's current level wasn't as high as his, he didn't want to see this person again, given his background and past traumas.

"Oh."

After Locke left, Willolo, who had been silent all along, spoke.

"Little Finney, are you and that person on good terms?"

In Jamie's eyes, Locke was nothing but a clown, so naturally he wouldn't tell Willolo these things, hence the question.

Finney shook her head: "He's a classmate."

With her keen intuition, Willolo said, "I have a feeling he likes you."

"no?"

Willolo sighed first, then smiled: "Our little Finney is good in every way, except she's a bit naive. She can't even see through something so simple. What if she gets fooled in the future?"

Finney said naively, "With my brother and you all here, it won't happen."

Vilolo shook her head.

The two continued on their way and soon arrived at the place where Jamie was stationed.

They arrived at the perfect time, just as Jamie was about to change shifts and had nothing to do.

Jamie was delighted to see his fiancée and sister and greeted them with a big smile.

Jamie was full of praise as he ate the delicious pastries, while Willolo kept smiling.

What fell into Fene's eyes felt warm, but also inevitably brought some strange thoughts.

Before Jamie got engaged, he had plenty of time to spend with her, but eventually he had to settle down and start a family. In the future, the girl he loved most could no longer be her.

Thinking about this, Finney was somewhat stunned.

She was neither too young nor too old; in fact, she could be engaged or married. However, the Robert family doted on her and wasn't in a hurry to arrange her marriage.

This inevitably forces her to confront a problem.

What kind of person will she marry in the future?

Can he treat me as well as my older brother does?

Could the perfect pairing of talented men and beautiful women in stage plays and novels happen to me?

As she pondered, Finney's thoughts drifted further and further away.

Until Jamie called her.

"Fine, what's wrong? Why are you spacing out?"

Little Finney snapped back to reality. "No, it's nothing."

……

St. Louis College, simulation training ground.

Class 29's matches never lack an audience.

Inside the training grounds, which simulate a real forest, the battle was in full swing.

The teachers and students of Class 62 looked noticeably more nervous. They sent out three students in a row, but all of them were suppressed by Class 29.

Inside the simulation arena, the elven girl from Takkenvia held the advantage.

On the other hand, Class 29 sent out their second person, "Summoner" Mirashu.

Cassius stood at the edge of the arena, his eyes fixed intently on the battle inside.

Inside the arena, Mirashu had already summoned two giant monsters: a Triceratops and a Yaksha King.

The two massive, burly magical beasts had no advantage whatsoever in this terrain. Although Pauline came to St. Louis to study, she worshipped the forest and the benevolent goddess Loitana, and her main profession was the "Nature's Blessing" path.

As a second-level "gardener", she complements the forest simulation training ground perfectly, and with the advantage of the environment, she gradually gains the upper hand.

Mirashu looked anxious. Triceratops and Yaksha King were the most suitable monsters to fight in this environment, but even so, they still didn't gain any advantage.

"Bring on the rice cakes!"

Mirashu named each of her summoned creatures, and Nian Gao was the Triceratops.

The Triceratops was also holding back its anger. The frustration of not being able to use its strength made it furious. Hearing its master's command, it ignored everything else, spotted Pauline's figure, and roared as it charged forward.

Yaksha King, who had not received any instructions, was eager to try, but Mirashu showed no intention of making it move.

The Triceratops's thick legs stomped on the ground, causing it to tremble. With a wave of her hand, several towering trees appeared out of thin air along the Triceratops's path.

The Triceratops charged too fast, and it was too late to brake. Its horns slammed into the tree trunk and it couldn't pull them out no matter what it did. Enraged, the Triceratops roared loudly.

To fight a summoner by engaging in melee combat with their summoned creatures is a grave mistake. All of a summoner's abilities come from the creatures they summon, and these creatures themselves have very few means of defense.

To catch the thief, first catch the king. As long as the summoner himself is dealt with, even the most powerful summoned creatures will instantly crumble.

As a summoner, Mirashu knows the weaknesses of his class better than his opponents, which is why he has never used Yaksha King, precisely to guard against this.

The Triceratops was temporarily subdued and unable to escape. Mirashu, observing his surroundings, suddenly noticed that the trees, though seemingly quiet, were actually behaving strangely.

A leaf fell.

“Pudding, to the right!” Mirashu shouted.

Pauline's expression faltered for a moment, but only for a fleeting instant. Mirasha's shout was actually a feint; her real attack was from the left.

Upon hearing that Mirashu had made a mistake, Pauline was overjoyed. Her eyes narrowed, and she suddenly launched her attack.

The falling leaves, sharp as knives, burst forth from Mirashu's left side.

Unexpectedly, the Yaksha King, upon hearing Mirashu's command, went in the opposite direction, actually heading to the left from the very beginning!

So much so that it immediately used its sharp claws to destroy all the leaf-shaped throwing knives.

Pauline was dumbfounded. What was going on?!

Seeing that the Yaksha King's claws were already upon her, Pauline was terrified and turned to flee.

Mirashu was not afraid of her feigned attacks at all. One of his secondary professions was "Earth Mage," and he easily condensed a shield to withstand the attack.

Faced with the Yaksha King's frenzied counterattack, Pauline was at a loss and could only retreat. Meanwhile, on the other side, the Triceratops, having broken free of its restraints, was enraged and charged towards her.

Two raging monsters are about to meet, and the girl in the middle is about to be torn to pieces.

At the critical moment, the referee immediately called a stop; at this point, Pauline was clearly unable to cope.

The teachers and students of Class 62 were stunned. Just a second ago they had a huge advantage, how did the situation suddenly reverse?

The atmosphere in Class 29 was relaxed.

Mirashu had been a "Summoner" for many years and could already convey commands to her summoned creatures using her mental power, so there was no need for her to shout them out. The reason she did this was actually to confuse Pauline and make her misjudge the situation.

A more experienced superhuman wouldn't fall for such a simple trick, but Pauline was just a naive student who was easily fooled.

Mirashu also understood that the weakness of the "Summoner" lay in the Summoner himself. Therefore, when he awakened later, he specifically underwent "class guidance" to make his second class "Earth Mage" in order to make up for the lack of defense.
