magic in heroes

"Everyone is assembled!"

"Thank you! Iida boy!"

All Might took a few steps forward, put his waist down and looked down to admire his group of vigorous "little fertilized eggs": The kids in class A were already agitated because they wanted the whole class to catch water monsters together, but now they saw a group of "little fertilized eggs". The top professional heroes came to teach, almost all of them stepped on a spring under their feet-the next second they would fall into the arms of these heroes and rub hard.

"Not bad, everyone is very energetic!" The first hero showed his iconic big white teeth, "Today we will conduct special training in groups! Including Aizawa and I, each hero will bring three people Carry out personalized targeted training!"

"What about catching water monsters?"

"Is it a hero who took three people to search?!"

"...Ah, no, boy Shangming and girl Ye Yin, we are not here to find water monsters today." All Might scratched his head while sweating.

Hearing this sentence, Bakugo immediately turned his head and sneered. Lvgu, Boom, Towabuki, Kouda and Skaman all remained silent. The heroes standing behind All Might showed expressions of watching a show, while the others The students stared wide-eyed, and the queue that had just been lined up instantly exploded like popcorn.

"Hey!!! Didn't you come to find the water monster?!"

"no……"

Hearing the answer given by the teacher, many students present expressed their expressions of surprise and disappointment vividly.For example, Shang Ming was frightened into a painting called "Scream", while Chang An hid the entire bird's head in the darkness, and even the black shadow jumped out to pat the bird very sympathetically. brother's shoulder.

Some were stunned and offline, and some jumped out to question.

"But on Friday, didn't Mr. Aizawa just say that he organized a special training for finding water monsters!?" Ashdo excitedly pointed to the sloppy man behind All Might, with a look on his face that he was deceived by a scumbag "Could it be that this is also 'reasonable hypocrisy'?"

However, Aizawa, who was stared at by everyone, did not change his face, still with the same happy expression, half of his face was buried in the restraint belt hanging around his neck, and he lazily replied: "I never said that I will bring you This is to find the water monster."

"But your original words were "To satisfy your wishes, the whole class will go to Minghu Lake for a special training tomorrow"!"

"Isn't it your wish to travel with the whole class and get personalized guidance from Zhiying?"

"..."

Well, no one dares to go back now.If you want to hate, you can only do it silently in your heart, such as "Mr. Aizawa is really a scheming man" and so on.

"Ahem, then let's divide into groups!" NO.1, who spoke the most weightily, broke the silence first, "The people in each group are determined by us adults after discussion. Then I will lead my team first." Team members!"

After a short pause, the blond hero quickly nodded to the heads of the three people in the team with different colors, and said with satisfaction: "Green Valley Boy, Bo Hao Boy and Boom Boy, you three are members of Group A!"

------Dividing line-----

"What group A... This should be called the 'Violent Aesthetics Group'."

I raised the corners of my mouth slightly when I heard Sero muttering in a low voice behind me.

Why do you want to group it like this?There are two reasons:

First, All Might really wants to give Orange, Green and Red a special training. The training is not about ability, but more about making the three of them cooperate well and form a beautiful combination, relying on the "BIG3" who is now a senior Qi (I think All Might's dream is a bit floating).

Second, 21 people are divided into seven groups and only three people can be in groups of three.I had to go to this search, and in the face of underwater operations, Wabuki and Kouda could obviously help more, so they were assigned to a group with me.Lvgu and Hong, who stayed here and were grouped with Baohao, were actually trying to hide their eyes and ears.

"Isn't it natural for the strongest hero to be grouped with three bar handles in Class A?"

Probably the rest of the uninformed people think so.

Uh……

In fact, there is another reason for such a division-to keep an eye on Baohao.He seemed to be suspicious of me when he caught birds and snakes during the internship last time. Maybe he was secretly investigating my identity like Hong did.In today's special training in name, I have a lot of peace of mind that Lugu and Hong can watch Baohao at any time. If I can't watch, there is All Might.

"..."

But what will happen if Bakugo finds out about my situation?Will he spread the word about it out loud?I don't think so.Will he help us like Boom?I don't think so.At most, this irascible old man would drag me by the back of my neck to some training ground, and then beat me up in the name of "discussion", proving that he can rub me on the ground without magic.

Then what will happen if my situation is found out by the rest of Class A?Will they help me?

"..."

I think so.After all, they are a group of kind-hearted people who yearn to become heroes.

"I think everyone will come to help you find animals," Green Valley once said to me. "For me, helping Newt is not only because of responsibility, but also because we are friends."

Yes, everyone in Class A and I are friends (probably my one-sided friend?), but because of this, I don't want to trouble them...

"Then it's my turn to claim it."

A big hand suddenly covered my head, interrupting my train of thought, and Hawkes' voice came leisurely from above my head.

"This, this, and this... Well, I took these three away."

The big brother with wings slapped each of the three of us on the head like picking melons in a fruit shop, then raised his head and waved his hands with a smile, gave Chang An a thumbs up, and then let us go directly with him .

I looked back, Chang An shook his head with his eyes closed.As for Group A, which has already been divided into teams but is still standing in place, except for Bao Hao who gave us a death stare, the other three all gave us encouraging looks.

"Then I'll take the lead." Uncle Aizawa's dying voice came from behind, but we had walked far enough that we couldn't quite hear what he was saying.

We came to the end of Grass Ping and went down a slightly broken wooden staircase.Moss hangs on the wooden railings on both sides of the stairs, and outside the wooden railings is a secluded forest, which is different from Xiongying’s training ground. The trees here grow taller and bigger, and the leaves are darker in color.From time to time, the cuckoo's call came from all around, and there were continuous insects, probably crickets, or cicadas.

"Ah, this is the second time we have worked together!" Hawkes walking in front of me seemed to think of something and suddenly turned to me and said, "Where's your broom? Is it fixed?"

"Broom?" Towabuki and Kouda looked puzzled.

"Gero, is it the kind of broom that you can ride on and fly into the sky?"

"Yes, a broom, like a wand, is an essential tool for a wizard," I explained, "but my broom was accidentally broken when I first came here."

"I fell off the wall and sat down! Oh, it's true. Why are you staring at me?"

"So, is that fixed?" Kouda asked.

"Not yet. The broom cannot be repaired directly with magic. It can only be sent back to the broom company to ask the production staff to redo it. I have already sent it there, but they haven't sent it back yet. Maybe it will take half a month?"

"Gero, can I receive it before the end of the semester? If possible, can you give me a ride on a broom during the summer vacation? I have wanted to ride a broomstick like a magical girl in the manga since I was a child!"

"No problem," I smiled, and then turned my head to look at the big man with bright eyes, "Kuuda-san can ride a broom if you want!"

"Hmm! Thank you!"

"Then I should fly beside you as a bodyguard when you guys are riding," Mr. Eagle begged for a beating with a smile on his face, "in case someone bumps into the upstairs again."

"...Mr. Hawks, if you don't speak, no one will treat you as dumb. Besides, when I hit a building last time, you just watched me hit!"

"Don't be so angry, I'm not thinking about your safety... well, we're here."

When the steps reached the last hurdle, the forest also receded behind, and what caught the eye was a piece of emerald green.The sound of the lake water lapping on the shore fluttered, loud and quiet.And near the simple pier on the shore of the lake, professional heroes in combat uniforms carrying equipment came and went.

"Gero, this scene is really familiar..."

Kouda and I took a look at Towabuki, and we knew in my heart that she was referring to the last time she went to sea.

Hawkes, who was walking in front, did not stop, and led us around a few boxes and continued to walk towards the pier. From time to time, some professional English would temporarily put down their work and turned their heads to greet Hawkes with a smile, shouting either "Hello, senior", or "Hello, Mr. Hawkes", or "Morning, boss".

"Are they from your firm?" I asked.

"Not all of them, most of them are killer whales and seals, ah, Mr. Andeva also sent a team. How? We have given enough face to Yingying, right?"

"Big big." I said perfunctorily.

Not long after walking, two... no, three familiar people appeared in front of him.The gang killer whale and Captain Serge are fighting each other again, while Sister Sirius is sitting on the box next to her and paddling with a tablet computer.

"Yo."

This time it was Hawks who greeted him first. He put his left hand in his pocket and raised his right hand casually.Hearing the sound, the two heroes who were arguing finally looked over together, and Sirius also put down the tablet in her hand.

"Hey! Little bird! You are finally here!"

Captain Serge happily came over and patted Hawkes on the shoulder, and then looked at the three of us with sparkling eyes.

"Long time no see! Froppy! The psychic! The little magician!"

"Hello, captain!"

When Serge greeted us, the gang Orca and Sirius also came over. The former greeted us in a low voice, and the latter patted Frog Blow's head skillfully.

"How about it, little magician? Do you know who we are going to arrest today?"

I shook my head and showed them my left hand, "I'm not even sure if the animal caught today is a magical animal." Then I briefly stated my guess about the involvement of the enemy alliance.

"Now about this animal, if it is from the wizarding world, then I have several guesses. There are many kinds of large animals that live in the lake, but judging from the blurry photo on the Internet, it is likely to belong to the snake , it may be a basilisk, it may be a long-horned water snake, and it may be a sea snake..."

"Wait, what's the difference?" Hawkes asked.

"The basilisk is a large, dazzlingly green snake that can reach a length of 15 meters. It has a red feather on its head. Its tusks are poisonous, but the most dangerous way to attack is to stare with its yellow eyes. The target, anyone who makes eye contact with the animal is instantly killed. But this animal has been missing from our side for almost 400 years, and the chances of it appearing here are... well, I don't think it is very high. "

"Long-horned water snakes have two horns on their heads. They are generally 20 meters long and have poisonous fangs. They were once thought to be extinct, but later wizards found them in North America..."

"Gero, but looking at the photo, that snake doesn't look like it has horns."

"Hmm... and sea snakes are generally found in the Atlantic, Pacific or Indian Oceans. They can be up to 30 meters long, with a head like a horse's head. The long snake body often arches out of the sea, just like the one in the photo..."

"But it usually lives in the sea." Captain Serge touched his chin and said, "Is it possible that it is the horse-headed mermaid we encountered last time?"

"It's also possible..."

Wait, a horsehead mermaid?Loch Ness Monster?

In an instant, I gasped, and immediately took out my phone to find the picture of the water monster I had saved.

Although the photo is blurry, the head sticking out of the water does look very similar to that of a sea snake.And this photo is like the picture of the water monster taken by the British Muggle reporter in Loch Ness in 1933.I remember it was written in the newspaper that the International Confederation of Wizards sent observers to investigate, and then the observers saw such a scene: When a team of Muggle investigators approached a sea snake, they saw it turned into a water moose. When all the people on the shore were gone, it turned into a snake again.Then the wizard observers realized that what the Muggles were seeing was not a real sea snake, but a "horse monster" that could change into various forms.

Later, the wizards brought the horse-shaped water monster back to the wizarding world for protection, but the reports and speculations of Muggles about the Loch Ness monster never stopped.

I told the story of the horse-shaped water monster to the two classmates and the four heroes present. Except for the killer whale, the rest of them showed surprised expressions.

"Gero, so the Loch Ness monster is real..."

"I thought it was like what those experts said - the Loch Ness monster is a descendant of a long-necked dragon!"

"Then what do you mean, the thing in the lake is the horse-shaped water monster?" The gang killer whale asked, pointing to the ups and downs of the lake in the distance.

"Yes," I nodded, "The horse-shaped water monster can take the form of various animals, and the most common form of them is a sea snake."

"Then it's easy to know what kind of animal it is." Captain Serge snapped his fingers, and several professionals in diving suits came over.

"Little magician, tell them what the sea snake looks like!"

"it is good."

I told them the appearance of the sea snake again, focusing on the horse head.At the same time, he also talked about the appearance of the equine: a horse covered with broad-leaf cattail grass as a mane.

"There is only one correct way to defeat the horse-shaped water monster: put a bridle on its head, and then it will become docile and obedient. So, once you find the target, please let me know immediately, and I will put a placement spell on it The bridle. Of course, you can do it manually without the spell, but it will be troublesome."

"But we didn't prepare a bridle..."

"It's not easy, don't worry, Sirius, Class A has a Creatity!"

"Gero, are you talking about Xiao Baibai?" Frog asked Hawkes with his head tilted. He wanted to say something, but Mr. Eagle had already dialed the phone.

"Is All Might? We have encountered some problems here... Ah, it's not the enemy. We need some bridles here... That's right, we need them to catch animals. Can you ask that young lady to make some? Which group is she in? Oh, over there with Eraserhead...then let Eraserhead tell a little lie~ I'll send someone to get it later! See you later!"

Hawks hung up the phone and made a comparison like we were OK, "Then to save time, let someone go into the water and search first. This lake is so big, it seems that it will take a few hours to search it all."

"Well, I agree." The old seal turned to his subordinates, raised his voice and ordered: "Just search according to the previous group, track it and report to me if you find the target, try to avoid fighting, and hold off if you can't avoid it." It's waiting for us to pass!"

"learn!"

After the search team set off, Brother Orca couldn't sit still any longer. He turned his head to discuss with the other two water heroes, and then decided to go down to the lake to search first with Wa Chui.

Now, apart from some support staff, there are only me, Kochida and Mr. Hawks left on the shore.

"Little ghost, you don't plan to do nothing until the water monster shows up, do you?"

The hero who was a few heads taller than me smiled and put his hand on my head very naturally.

"Of course not!" I shrunk my neck and moved my head out of his hands, "As I said just now, the horse-shaped water monster can change into any shape, especially when it senses danger. Maybe, in the search team It turned into a minase before I found it."

Hearing this sentence, Kouda opened his eyes wide. I knew what he wanted to ask was "Isn't it pointless to let so many people into the water?" ’, he answered directly:

"It's meaningful. Maybe we found that water monster sleeping in a certain rock crevice?" I paused, "But, we do need an insurance policy."

"The wisher took the bait." The young hero could tell what I was thinking at a glance, "You want to lure him out."

"Yes, the horse-shaped water monster likes to lure people to ride on its back, and then plunges into the bottom of the lake and devours people. And I can row a small boat to a place where no one is searching and use it as bait."

"Then I'll go too!" Kouda blushed and patted his chest and said, "I can try to talk to it! Let it know that we are not enemies!"

"Okay, then I'll be your bodyguard," Hawkes spread his wings, stretched himself and said with a smile, "I'm watching you from the sky."

When the boat was ready, the bridle was also brought by the logistics team (there were ten sets in total, I got one set, and the rest went to other teams).I tugged on a pile of black reins, and sighed in my heart: "As expected, it is produced by 800 million companies, and the quality is really good."

I just don’t know how Uncle Aizawa tricked Baibai into doing so much.Maybe something to say: There is a horse farm in this scenic spot, and some horse bridles are given as a thank you gift.Or do not explain anything, let 800 million directly start work on the grounds of exercising personality.

Hmm... I can imagine Bai Baiyi's puzzled expression.

Anyway, now the bridle is in hand.Hawkes somehow got a tin boat like that used by fishermen to fish.The boat is red, less than five meters long, the paint on the side walls is peeled off, and it makes a "creaking" sound when stepped on.

I got on the boat first, and I stepped on it. The big man Kuchida who was following me almost lost his footing and was thrown into the water. Fortunately, Hawkes flew up to help him with his sharp eyes.

The two of us sat facing each other, one on the bow and one on the stern.There is a small motor and steering wheel at the stern, which are operated by Kochida (fortunately, this small broken boat does not rely on us to swing the oars manually). After 10 minutes, Kouda drove the boat to a place where the other search teams could not be seen. The mountains on both sides were [-] meters away from us, and it was as if we were in the center of the lake.

Hawks flew above our heads. He looked at us, pointed to the dark clouds above his head, and shouted: "It's going to rain."

"Oh, Potter bless..."

The rain will only make the search more difficult, especially the heavy rain. Their big search boats are fine. Look at our small broken boat with a sense of age... Tsk tsk, I guess Kouda and I will have to turn over directly in the next heavy rain Feed the fish in the lake.

Therefore, if it really rains, you can only ask the mermaids to help (I wanted to invite them to the lake before, but All Might said that it would be better to leave it to Ying Ying, and releasing the mermaids may cause a lot of unnecessary troubles. For example, mermaids are irritable and cannot communicate directly with people, etc.).

I was worried at the bow, while Kouda at the stern turned off the motor very professionally, took out a fishing rod from his bag and started fishing (questioning), if you don’t look at his frowning, then we are in the eyes of others It might be quite relaxing.

Time passed by, the sky became darker and darker, and the surroundings became quieter and quieter, but there was no report of the discovery of the water monster.What's even more strange is that after 10 minutes, Kouda didn't catch a single fish.At first I suspected that he had lost the bait. After checking that the bait was still there, I suspected that there were no fish in this lake at all.

Just when I was about to swallow a fish gill grass and go down to the lake to see what was going on, Hawkes' voice suddenly came from the headset.

"Pay attention to the eight o'clock direction, something is swimming over there!"

Kouda and I were startled, and immediately turned our heads to look in the direction Hawkes said.In the distance, a dark patch appeared under the emerald green lake, and it was slowly approaching us.

"Come, come, come, come!"

"Don't get excited, take back your fishing line first!"

While trembling, Kouda reeled in the fishing line round and round, and every time he reeled in, the black shadow was one step closer.

"He wants to eat the bait," Hawkes said.

I took a deep breath, holding the bridle in my left hand, and the wand in my right, staring at the little silver fishhook drawn out of the water with wide eyes.The dark plaque stopped two meters away from us, and Kouda and I looked at each other in blank dismay.

"You can say something casually..." I gestured to the psychic opposite me with my eyes.

"Uh..." Kouda faltered and bent his body close to the surface of the water, and then said, "Are you hungry? We have something to eat here."

hungry? ? ?

Have something to eat? ? ?

eat us! ! !

I gasped and tightened my grip on the wand in my hand.

Two seconds later, the dark lump swam towards us. Its green body slowly arched out of the water, first the tail, then the middle, and finally, the horse's head covered with aquatic plants.

"Horse-shaped water monster..."

This is a juvenile water monster, more than three meters long.It is said that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. This little water monster put its head directly in front of us, its bright yellow eyes were fixed on the bait in the bait bucket, its mouth was slightly opened, and it made a "humming" sound at us.

"He looks like he wants to eat..."

Kuchida slowly moved his hand to the barrel, picked it up and placed it on the side of the boat.The little water monster rolled his eyes, buried his head in the bucket and started to eat.

"It's here!"

I gestured to Kouda with my eyes, he nodded, and then gently stroked the top of the little water monster's head while saying "Don't be afraid, we are not bad people".And I quietly cast the placing spell, and put the bridle on the head of the little water monster.

"This child is really hungry, and he doesn't feel the quilt at all." Hawkes flew down and said, "Then the problem is solved? Can we call it a day?"

"Ok!"

How lucky to be able to call it a day before the rainstorm!I didn't expect this search to go so smoothly!

The little water monster was full, so he leaned obediently against the side of our boat and let Kouda stroke its head. I was looking for the marks on the little water monster, while Hawks flew to the bow to try to contact the gang killer whale.

However, it was not the voice of Mr. Killer Whale, nor the voice of the captain, but someone he had never heard before.He seemed very anxious, spoke very fast, and asked us "Can you hear me" several times.

Oh, it's starting to rain.

"I can hear you! What happened?"

"Zizizi—can you hear me?!"

"I can hear you!"

"Zizi-I-Zizizi-agent-here-Zizi-I found a water monster, Zizi-"

"what?"

Hawks frowned, and looked back at the small animal with wide eyes beside the boat, "Water monster? Isn't it here?"

Just when the three of us were all in a daze, the voice of the frog blowing suddenly came from the side of the boat:

"Little Newt, run! The long-legged water snake is rushing this way!!!"
