As we all know, winding zero is a human being

"The three of you, you can all take the final test on Mount Fuji."

When I said this, I was eating an ordinary dinner, and there was steam in the pot.While talking, Mr. Ryotaki came out with something from the house, and when he saw the reaction of the three little guys in front of him, he fell silent.

The three pairs of eyes stared at the things in his hands, and for a while, only the sound of bubbling and bubbling could be heard when the bottom of the soup in the pot was boiling, and after that, Zero slammed on the table and laughed happily:

"What did I say! Lai Lai is willing to gamble and admit defeat, Yiyong, your share of the pot will belong to us!"

Tomioka Yoshiyuki nodded quietly, as if he had nothing else to say, except that the highlights in the lake blue eyes seemed to be half extinguished.

Sato spread his hands helplessly: "I've already said that gambling is not a good habit."

"Then do you want to eat it or not?" Zero squinted at Satu, and held the salmon out of the pot in front of his eyes for a while.

The boy with his long pink hair tied behind his head opened his mouth and bit half of it without even thinking about it.

"I won the bet." Saito said vaguely while chewing the fish.

It's also very good, even now the last half of the highlights in Yiyong's eyes disappeared with his swallowing movements.

Mr. Rinaki pressed his forehead: "You...?"

Satoshi stood up and took the clothes in Mr. Ryotaki's hands. After weighing them, he found that there seemed to be something wrapped inside, which felt quite heavy to the touch.

But he didn't take a closer look, and took Mr. Rinaki to his seat.

"We are betting, what important news is the teacher going to announce this time?" Sato said generously after sending some new firewood to the firewood pile under the boiler, "Legend and I guess we have reached The evaluation in your heart can go to take the test, only Yiyong thinks it is not enough."

Mr. Ling saw that Mr. Rinaki nodded and seemed to want to say something, and immediately replied: "Yiyong is too unconfident. The farewell meal is ready, but he just refuses to admit it."

Tomioka Yoshiyuki mourns the salmon that he can swim up to his mouth, and temporarily shuts himself up.

And Mr. Rinaki, who was guessed by his disciples for the first time, also wanted to be autistic with him.

"So teacher," Satoshi still showed the excitement of the disciples under Mr. Rinaki Taki after learning about this incident, "I finally got your approval!"

Looking at what was shining in Satu's gray eyes when he was talking, it was hard for Mr. Rinaki to say anything wrong. The trainer who was very serious and ghostly in training now took off his disguise and only remained gentle: "Yes, you have all passed my test and can go to the final selection."

He patted the things on the side and motioned them to try the new clothes to see if they fit.

"It's a set." Zero glanced at it and concentrated on cooking, without the slightest thought of moving, "When Sato Yoshiyong and you all become Zhurong and return to your hometown, then we can take a family portrait together."

Tomioka Yoshiyuki tilted his head and asked in confusion, "Take a picture?"

"It's just a group photo, and you can record things and leave them on the photo without an artist." Zero said halfway through thinking about it, "I seemed to see a photo studio when I was in Tokyo, and there should be smaller cameras that you can carry with you. the kind?"

"That's not the point!" Sato turned his head and his tone was a little confused, he asked sharply: "What about you? Don't you want to be a pillar?"

Ling paused for a moment with his chopsticks, and then casually picked up a piece of radish in the pot: "Well, I think the final assessment is quite dangerous. I have to practice for another two years, so I won't go this time...?"

A pair of chopsticks protruded from the slanted spines and pressed against his chopsticks.

Looking up, he saw that it was Yoshiyuki Tomioka's hand, and Zero didn't know what to say.

Well, sure enough, this reason is too evil, can't even be fooled by righteous courage?

Yoshiyuki Tomioka: "This is the radish I was just going to eat."

walk slowly.

"Okay, you guys go try on your own clothes first."

In the end, it was Mr. Ryodaki who stopped the conversation that was likely to become unpleasant. After Yoshiyuki Tomioka nodded and stood up and entered the inner room with his suit of clothes, Mr. Ryodaki still did not leave. Sato had no choice but to whisper softly: "I'll convince him."

Satoshi: "Are you sure?"

Mr. Ryotaki: "Of course."

...So can you keep him from hearing your plot?

Zero looked at Satoshi without words and turned his head away after getting Mr. Ryotaki's reply very trustingly, so he had to turn his gaze to Mr. Ryotaki: "If you have anything to say, let's get straight to the point. Everyone is in a hurry."

"Where are you going?" Hearing this, Mr. Rinaki put down his chopsticks and just looked at him quietly.

"No, that's just a metaphor." Zero waved his hand and said, but seeing that Mr. Rinaki still didn't give up until he answered, he said innocently: "It's okay if you don't participate in the final selection."

After hearing the final selection described by the trainer, he can roughly understand the significance of setting up this checkpoint. In the eyes of the reserve swordsmen, the final selection of the ghost killing team is a checkpoint that must be passed. It is a test of strength and survivability. comprehensive consideration.

The existence of real ghosts in Fujiji Mountain is often the first time for these swordsmen who have practiced breathing techniques for many years to face ghosts directly, and how much strength they can display in front of real ghosts is the key to becoming a ghost killer.

"The assessment of Fuji Attack Mountain is not difficult for you."

Mr. Ryotaki shook his head, and he slowly looked around the room.

Seeing that he seemed to be remembering something, Zero didn't make a sound to interrupt his thinking.

"My disciple, never came back."

Hearing such a sentence suddenly, Zero One felt that it did not seem like a sentence that could be uttered by the trainer in front of him: "Sakura and Giyu are both rare geniuses, and there is no danger if they go together. .”

Mr. Rinaki did not doubt this: "They are the most outstanding disciples I have ever brought up."

"But it's because of the companionship... I don't feel relieved."

After a brief thought, Zero understood what he meant: "Because they are companions who care about each other, will they become each other's weakness instead?"

This is true, after all, the situation of Fuji Attack Mountain is unpredictable, and the junior brothers who are still inexperienced have not experienced much actual combat, so no one can say for sure what will happen in the next moment.

"I hope you can take care of them one or two in the dark... And I would like to solemnly ask you to go to Fuji Attack Mountain for me to take a look at the situation."

In the past, Mr. Ryotaki, who knew that this was the only way to become a ghost killer, would not have such an idea.

If the disciples could not return, he would only blame himself even more in his heart for not getting the children ready before sending them to their deaths.

Zero shrugged: "That's why I said, your system is quite unreasonable."

What time is it? This is not the troubled times of the Warring States Period. Human life is not so cheap.

He also discussed the establishment system of the final selection with Mr. Rinaki before.

It is true that the cruel system and real death can make them grow rapidly, but the swordsman who can comprehend the breathing method is a genius in a hundred, and such a loss rate is really unreasonable.

Geniuses also need time to grow, so Zero had a heated discussion with Mr. Rinaki about why not arrange a column-level swordsman to lead a team to observe secretly in Fujisaki Mountain. the elements of.

In fact, Zero also had a reasonable suspicion that there might be a ghost in the Tengshishan Mountain that actually forged a beam with Shuihu, so why hasn't a single Shuihu swordsman come out of it all these years?

"I have already sent a letter to my lord." Mr. Rinaki was also persuaded by him, "It's just that the team is short of manpower, and this year we can't arrange column-level swordsmen to go to Mount Fuji."

If this system can really be changed, the reserve team members will still not know about it. Anyway, there is no precedent for the final assessment of Teng Shishan who failed to prepare for the examination. If you want to become a team member, then arrange another assessment.

"Okay, okay, I'm an old tool guy." Ling agreed to Mr. Lintaki's request.

After all, he has lived here for so long, and the request from the trainer in front of him is not a difficult task. It would be best if he could repay this favor.

Mr. Lin Taki nodded: "Thank you."

The script still has to follow the path arranged by the trainer and the protagonist. After Ling accepted this thank you, he weighed the clothes that Mr. Rinaki-san handed over. However, when he shook off his coat, the blue cloud pattern A mask fell out of the cloth.

He looked at the familiar craft and asked uncertainly, "This is?"

"The tradition of Aquabreath is a disaster relief mask I made myself." Mr. Rinaki took a sip from his teacup, "Aquabreath once produced a senior, and she brought this tradition."

"In more than 200 years, the first time we obtained the information about the winding of the Twelve Ghost Moon, it was also the news brought by that senior."

Zero raised his eyes to Mr. Rinaki, he was also very interested in the content of the chat.

Let him be Kangkang, who is the rookie who made the Ghost Slayer Squad catch the little tail?

"Relevant information has been lost. The siege was not successful. We lost quite a lot of manpower, and that was just the first string land in the middle of the twelve ghost moons."

Oh, it's Tong Mo, that's a real dish, if you have a chance to meet him, you should laugh at him...

No, wait a minute?

Zero suddenly realized that he seemed to have a little impression of this matter?

Mr. Lin Taki continued: "At that time, the senior hadn't mastered the method of breathing and just brought us information, but later she became the water column of the Breath of Water lineage, and at the same time left this tradition. "

The disaster relief mask with a white background was made into the shape of a fox, and Mr. Rinaki's next words made Zero stop thinking for a while.

"She doesn't have Miao characters, her name is Xiangori."

"People who know her call her Axiang."

How many years have passed, there is no exact number, but when hearing the late news, Ling felt that there were far more things churning in his heart than he imagined.

He had a lot to say, and Mr. Rinaki waited for him for a long time, but finally only heard one sentence.

"So the little girl's name is Kaori."
