Dharma Island was originally a small island with a population of less than [-] and a radius of less than seven kilometers.Looking far away from the shore, you can see the surroundings of Renhai Sea. Originally, a port was developed from east to north. Later, due to the decline of fishery and inconvenient trading, the size of the entire island gradually shrank, and the population also migrated.

The pine trees on the island have completely died after the forest fire a few years ago, and the island has completely become an empty city. The few survivors have also been moved to nearby cities by the Hunter Association.

The only part that seems to be intact is the Sea God Shrine that stands in the port.In the past, fishermen often prayed for safety at sea. If they were shipwrecked, they would first come to this shrine to offer incense after they were rescued.

"The gods of the sea are collectively called Mianjinmi. In ancient mythology, when Izanagi returned from the underworld and bathed his body in water as a ritual, six gods were born in the water: the three gods of Mianjin and the three gods of Sumiyoshi."

Teijin Muchuan yawned, and casually said: "So there are many kinds of shrines. Shrines like this one are dedicated to the god of the sea, and mirrors are usually placed. According to the custom, it is either an anvil-faced bronze mirror or a sea animal grape mirror."

"..."

"It can be inferred that the first thing to do on the island is to investigate the shrine, because the content of tomorrow's exam must be collecting items and surviving in the wild."

"..."

"Where are you?"

A seagull passed over his head, and Doma kept his dead fish eyes open, maintaining a sinking posture, constantly paddling with his arms, and didn't want to pay attention to this guy at all.

Mu Chuan tightened his elbows around his neck: "Speak."

"Don't disturb me!" The gray-haired boy coughed and almost choked on the sea water.He tried his best to maintain his balance, and continued to move forward in the waves, "What kind of boss are you, who would ride someone else across the sea so happily—"

"Because I can't swim." He said confidently.

Countless crosses exploded on the top of Doma's head, and the corners of his eyes twitched: "I'll throw you into the sea if you keep arguing... What on earth am I working so hard for? If I had known it earlier, I wouldn't have signed that contract, damn it!"

The sun is shining brightly and the sea is mild. If you look closely, there are small figures floating everywhere. They are the hard-fated hunter candidates of the 288th class swimming wildly in the sea of ​​tolerance in winter.

Except for one person—

"Hey, it's a foul! Cheating!!" Imori accidentally caught a glimpse of a certain scene and shouted, "This is a complete foul!"

Mu Chuan turned his head and found him: "It's you, Little Tomato, what's wrong, is your tomato okay?"

Imori: "..."

"And this kind of mutual help between candidates is worthy of praise, isn't it amazing? It must be praised, right? I should be awarded the best partner award by the Hunter Association and Dharma Island, right? It's so harmonious You should be charged with such a cruel crime in a friendly scene, please reflect on yourself."

After such a long speech, they didn't even catch their breath. The three Amory brothers who were soaking in the sea all turned disgusted faces.

"My heart is so tired." Doma complained expressionlessly.

The Teijin boy smiled triumphantly, strangled his neck, put his fluffy head directly on the opponent's shoulder, like a kitten having fun: "Go at full speed!"

"Don't get so fucking close to me—"

Veins throbbed around the gray-haired teenager's temples.After all, the postures of the two of them at this moment are very awkward, because Mu Chuan doesn't exert any strength at all, and it's all up to him to thump in the water alone, which can be regarded as a weight-bearing marathon, right?

The straight man Doma was covered in goosebumps. He turned his face away in disgust and contempt, refusing to get in close contact with this person, wishing to give him a punch right away.

Candidates saw their appearance one after another, and couldn't help shouting: "Who are you!"

Mu Chuan replied immediately: "The person who rules the sea, you can call me the king of the island!"

...not for you to pick a nickname on the spot!

The novice candidates immediately wandered away speechlessly, not wanting to get involved with strange people.

Fortunately, not everyone is stupid enough to yell during swimming, and they are not idiots. Long-distance long-distance swimming must maintain physical strength.About halfway through, many people were left behind, and some with cramped legs were also picked up by the Hunter Association to return to the airship next year.

"Are you okay?" Mu Chuan asked Doma.

"good."

"Awesome."

"I really don't want your compliments, ah, it would be great if there was a beautiful young lady on my back at this time - otherwise, you come down for a while, and I will teach you swimming on the spot, even if you don't learn it. Float in the sea and I will drag you to swim."

Teijin frowned when he heard this, and looked at him in disbelief, feeling that Doma had a brain hole: "Only a fool would do this. Hitting a worker, I advise you to be kind."

Doma: "..."

"You really don't understand." The black-haired boy bit his strawberry candy and shook his head extremely deeply, "I'm enjoying life, how many times can I have this kind of experience in my life, you should cherish the opportunity."

"Yeah, how many times can I have the experience of being ridden and swimming like this in my life." Doma smiled instead of anger, clenched her back molars tightly, and squeezed out words from between her teeth.

"You don't think you can retire safely and enjoy your old age after doing this job, do you? Our company has to do big things! Although it is indeed dangerous, the experience and abilities gained along the way are invaluable!"

"...What about the rest of the company?"

"It's just the two of us for now. But one day it will be on a world scale."

"you go."

The waves gradually got bigger, Mu Chuan stopped talking, and looked up at the sky.The surroundings of the sun became dark, and the seagulls were originally flying in the bright sea sky, flapping their wings in turn, just about to dive, but cringed in the air, and flew away.

The black cumulus clouds sank into the golden light of the afternoon, the sea was dark, and the surging waves began to roll.

"Oops, it's going to rain heavily." Doma clicked her tongue and speeded up.

The waves with a huge drop can no longer see the shadows of the other candidates. Thanks to Mu Chuan who packed up all the luggage before, otherwise he has to protect the large and small packages now, and they will definitely be scattered by the sea water.

The bitter cold wind hit the faces of the two young men. Doma avoided the eddies and hidden reefs of the strait tide with experience. Some clay pots for catching octopus floated on the sea surface and were pulled by thin fishing nets.

"It must have been a buoy cast by people from a nearby island, and it was actually brought here by the waves." Mu Chuan muttered, "The bottom of the sea is dark, and I can't see anything clearly, and I don't know what happened to my brother."

Rain fell and slid down the side of his face.The young man lay on Doma's body weakly, staring at the other's skin wrinkled by the sea water, his eyes scattered.

And right now.

"Whoosh-"

Even with a premonition, Teijin turned his body to the left to avoid the deadly part, but a sharp weapon from something pierced his back.

"Hey, what's wrong?"

"I don't know, someone sneaked up."

Mu Chuan wrote lightly.

The octopus jars that were seven to ten meters apart were all empty and kept bumping into each other, as if mocking.Blood was oozing from the back of the shoulder, and the wound exposed to the rain was burning hot. He pulled out the sharp weapon with his backhand calmly, and looked down, it was a paper cutter.

"Before swimming, didn't the Hunter Association do a physical examination? Why do you still have a weapon? Could it be a person with the ability to read? Are you seriously injured?!" Doma didn't notice that her voice was raised a lot.

"If I say something heavy, are you going to leave me?"

"What time are you still joking, you—"

"No kidding."

Doma shut up.Indeed, if you throw him into the sea now, this guy can't swim, and he's injured, so he won't be able to survive in this torrential rain.I am also very tired, and I have done my best.

——Think about it, you have no obligation to save him at all.

"It's too long-winded!!!"

The gray-haired boy's bangs were all wet by the sea water, sticking to his face in strands, and his stubborn side face was facing straight forward.Accompanied by the roar of the sea tide, he took a deep breath, and said in a bad tone, "Do you think everyone is as naive as you?! Me, since I promised to work part-time during the hunter exam to pay off the debt of favor, I definitely won't." I will go back on my word! I always keep my word!"

It's not easy.In this era when all members pursue the will to die and all members choose to escape, it is surprising that such a strange thing can still be encountered.There really are such people.

Well, I passed it.

"……puff."

"why are you laughing!"

Doma questioned like a policeman.

At this time, the bird shadow slid over them.It turned out to be a sea falcon, and when it passed through the cloud, the sun's light unexpectedly leaked out again, and the bright colors with clear outlines fell down.Mu Chuan laughed and couldn't help shaking his chest: "Aren't you more childish than me?"

The rain gradually eased, and the sea returned to calm.But bad things always follow one after another.

"...I have cramps in my left leg." Doma said with a dull face.

"Hey, isn't it! There is only a little distance left, and you walked on the ground in such a violent storm just now, come on, carrot and coriander servant! Don't lose to the nerves and muscles, Nicholas VI Ginger!"

"Who is Ginger, bastard!"

The two quarreled violently, and finally ended the battle with Doma's powerlessness.Then, under his shocked gaze, Teijin Muchuan sighed helplessly, then picked him up, and stepped on the air directly to walk forward.

"...Magic, magic! It's magic!"

Teijin boy's face was paralyzed: "That's right, it's magic, don't make a fuss."

——Shocked my mother for 100 years!

I have seen too many distorted realities today, so at this moment, playing with King Kajin and the princes since childhood, Doma, an upright young man who is ignorant of the world, finally collapsed his worldview.

……

……

……

"Oh, this is delicious."

"Add some paprika."

"This side is burnt, what technique do you—"

"Brother, I'm coming!"

Why are you so noisy.

Doma vaguely smelled the smell of barbecue, and the voices of many people echoed in his ears. He was so wet that he couldn't help sneezing.

Then there was a sound of footsteps approaching, and he barely opened his eyes, with a face hanging in the sky: "Sleeping Beauty has woken up."

It's the red-eyed jerk.

The moment he came out with this cognition, he had to admit that he was relieved.

"You've fainted from fright, it's so useless." The black-haired and red-eyed boy taunted him energetically, with a vivid expression that made people burn with anger.

Doma ignored him, and looked around subconsciously: bonfires, barbecue grills, many candidates... Good guys, these people are holding barbecues! !

"Yo, your name is Doma, right? I'm Peng Si." The green-haired girl held a skewer in her hand and greeted him with a smile, "Thank you for your advice."

"……This is?"

"Oh, I was cold and tired when I first swam to this island, but I found a fire in the distance. When I got closer, it was Mr. Milk Tea who was grilling fish. He invited me to eat together, so I sat down."

All right, victim number one.

"My name is Xianpai, and I saw Mu Chuan grilling meat here, so I came here."

Victim number two.

"I'm Anida. I met you before. Since I haven't met any other candidates, it shouldn't matter if I take a short break."

Victim number three.

"Kurt."

Victim number four.

"We are the three Amory brothers!"

Victims five six seven.

What are you doing!What kind of college student team building are you guys? It’s really friendly to sit around and eat barbecue together!That guy said you can eat whatever you want!You can't stick to your own character——

Sitting on a piece of wood, Teijin Muchuan lazily gnawed on the grilled fish, and spoke vaguely: "After all, the exam will officially start tomorrow, and today is just a rehearsal, so don't worry. Everyone is very tired. Let's have a meal together." When the brothers treat guests, the atmosphere will be brightened."

...It's hopeless, this guy.

Doma's forehead collapsed, then he turned his head and saw the glass at his feet, his eyes almost bulged out: "Where did this glass come from?!"

"Oh, I picked it up." Mu Chuan replied solemnly.

You liar!There's still Coca-Cola in there! ! !

Refusing to talk to Mu Chuan, the gray-haired boy stroked his sandy hair, shook off the dust from his clothes, and began to look around.Unsurprisingly, the forest was burned bare by the fire of the year before last, and the dead branches lined up densely all over the field of vision, the coastline was winding, the sky was already twinkling with stars, and the cold night wind was blowing.

"By your injury?"

Doma reacted quickly and looked at Mu Chuan.I saw him shrugging his shoulders and showing his white teeth when he smiled: "My brother bandaged me, it's fine."

brother is—

His gaze quickly stopped on the boy in the kimono. In the darkness, by the light of the fire, the dancing flames were reflected in the calm and dark cat eyes of the other party. That pretty face looked bright and beautiful. They looked at each other, but couldn't tell what was weird.

Although they are all men, but his face...

And it must have taken off his shirt, and then wrapped it with bandages layer by layer, maybe there are some intimate movements, it's like Mu Chuan is being taken care of by a girl, so cunning!He wants girls to bandage his wounds too!

"Grilled octopus? With hoisin sauce."

The gray-haired boy sulked unhappily. Hearing this sentence, he gave the culprit a hard look, and then grabbed the octopus forcefully.

"……eat."
