It is hard to imagine that someone can remain as calm as eating and drinking in such a life-and-death crisis.
But he did it.
At the same time, while no one was paying attention, Wu Yi, who was squatting on the tree canopy with one hand holding the branch and watching the battle between man and pig below with interest, suddenly felt the tree trunk under his feet vibrate.
Turning around, he saw that it was a mythical beast that had been picked up from another tree, and it seemed that it was ready to enjoy the show with him.
"I thought you would take action, but if you keep going like this, Ayanokouji boy will become a wild boar's meal."
Kouenji was still in that leisurely state. Even though he was still avoiding the wild boar's charge, he took out a mirror and began to comb his hair at a leisurely pace.
"Take action? Haven't I already taken action?"
Wu Yi shrugged, saying that he had already given her face by giving her that kick just now.
"Besides, to be honest, it's not likely that I'll end up on the wild boar's plate as you said."
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Kouenji was a little surprised, which was rare.
"From what you said, this Ayanokouji boy has some extraordinary abilities?"
"Come on, you call him Ayanokouji, don't you have any association with him?"
Wu Yi curled her lips.
"Ayanokouji..."
Kouenji thought for a moment, stroking his chin which was always smooth and stubble-free due to his daily shaving.
"Yes, it is indeed a surname that exists in my memory, but I don't think I have heard of any descendants of 'Ayanokouji'."
"That could be a bastard child, or... a test subject?"
Wu Yi looked down at the figure who was confronting the wild boar.
"Whatever, but don't doubt it, I have already confirmed it, it is indeed the offspring of 'Ayanokouji', but... it has been spoiled."
“An apt metaphor.”
Koenji agreed wholeheartedly.
"Okay, now it's time for something more exciting."
After stretching his body a little, Wu Yi took a deep breath and shouted towards the bottom.
"Hey, lure the boar over to me!"
"..."
Ayanokouji Kiyotaka on the ground naturally heard it, but he did not look back. At such a life-and-death moment, any distraction would be fatal.
He roughly determined which tree Wu Yi was on by the direction the sound came from, and when the wild boar showed signs of snorting and kicking the ground, preparing to charge, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka suddenly turned around and ran away.
The wild boar, thinking that its prey had escaped, let out a high-pitched roar, lowered its head and huddled its fangs, rushing forward, galloping with all four hooves.
There is no doubt that the wild boar can run much faster than Ayanokouji Kiyotaka.
Once a wild boar is enraged, it runs like a drifting small tank, with a maximum speed of 40 to 70 kilometers per hour, which is faster than the human 100-meter record.
Moreover, it can maintain this speed and run for more than ten or twenty kilometers. In terms of endurance, humans are far inferior to it.
Fortunately, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka had no intention of competing with the wild boar in running from the beginning.
All he had to do was to lure the wild boar over here.
The rumbling sound of the earth shaking was approaching rapidly from behind him. Ayanokouji Kiyotaka was running wildly, constantly calculating the distance based on the vibration coming from his feet.
"Little...watch your back! Climb the tree quickly!"
At this time, Hashimoto didn't care whether shouting like this would attract the wild boar, and he loudly warned Ayanokouji who was still running for his life on the ground.
Perhaps it was due to excessive nervousness that Hashimoto's voice was a little too loud, accidentally drowning out the sound of the wild boar's hooves; or perhaps he was moved by the thought of the other temporary partners who were still concerned about each other in the midst of danger, which led to a tiny mistake even for someone as precise as a machine as Ayanokouji.
He jumped a little too early.
The wild boar's stinky head almost brushed against the soles of my sneakers as it rushed past, and then with a bang it crashed into the tree trunk in front of it.
At first glance, the result seems to be no different from what was expected, but... there is still a slight difference after all.
Because Ayanokouji pounced a few tenths of a second earlier, the wild boar was able to sense the prey's intention in advance and turned its huge head along with its fangs, so that it was only its huge body that hit the tree trunk. This impact force was just a tickle for the wild boar with thick skin and flesh.
"Wait! Don't climb the tree yet! He's coming towards you!"
Hashimoto could see clearly from above and reminded loudly.
Ayanokouji was of course well aware of what was going on. He rolled to his feet as quickly as possible, and just as he raised his head, he saw a figure leaping down from the tree, falling from the sky and landing precisely on the wild boar's back.
Under the heavy pressure, the wild boar's body sank suddenly, but it still held on.
"Haha~ I caught you."
Wu Yi was lying on the wild boar's back in the posture of riding a heavy motorcycle, with his chest pressed against the top of the boar's head. At the same time, his powerful arms reached down and grasped the two fangs sticking out from the lower jaw, like two extremely tough reins.
Feeling its movements were restricted, the wild boar tried to struggle and scream, but it was of no use.
Under the force of both its head and jaw, it couldn't even open its mouth, but it didn't know what was trapping it. It could only jump back and forth on the spot violently, snorting furiously.
"This……"
Everyone was simply stunned. They had heard of the cowboy rocking ride before, but had never heard of the piggy rocking ride.
Well, there is probably no essential difference between the two. They are both games where you will be kicked out if you fail.
It took Hashimoto two seconds to react, and he greeted loudly without forgetting his original intention.
"Um... Ayanokouji, come up to the tree! And Moriyama and Tokito!"
"Yeah, come on! I got it under control!"
Wu Yi, who was crawling on the pig's back, also spoke loudly.
"Oh oh..."
The two members of Class A who were standing still finally reacted and quickly found the nearest tree trunk and began to climb up.
Ayanokouji ran to Hashimoto's side and was about to signal him to pull him up, but he heard the sound of horses' hooves from behind.
The danger alarm sounded in his heart, he turned around suddenly, and saw someone on the pig's back smiling awkwardly but politely.
"Well, get out of the way, I didn't catch you..."
Are you kidding me...
Ayanokouji thought.
¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥
There is only one day left tomorrow, and then I can update something good. It's been a whole month... I feel like I'm just giving up day by day.
Volume 224: Chapter Come on, let’s have a duel!
For the next ten minutes, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka was completely forced to dance with the wild boar.
Even though this dance wasn't pretty at all.
He was like a clumsy rookie bullfighter on his first fight, running and rolling on the ground trying to avoid being chased by a rampaging wild boar.
The sportswear, which was originally relatively clean and tidy, gradually became dirty and gray, covered with plant fragments and dirt.
Wu Yi, on the other hand, lay firmly on the pig's back from beginning to end, charging forward along with this thick-skinned wild animal. From time to time, he would remind Ayanokouji to be careful to dodge, and he would loudly praise when the latter perfectly dodged a charge by the wild boar.
It was hard for Ayanokouji to tell whether this guy did it on purpose or not.
Even if you say he didn't do it on purpose, he was still smiling so happily even though he was being chased so badly. Even if he didn't do it on purpose, it must have been intentional.
But if you say he did it on purpose, he would always be able to pull the pig's head back by a hair's breadth and make a sharp turn to avoid the collision.
It's weird in every sense.
"Huh, you guys seem to be having a lot of fun, let me join in the fun."
Long Yuan, who had been squatting on a tree and observing, seemed to have noticed something. He sneered, and ignoring the shocked looks from Ishizaki and Albert beside him, he also jumped down like Wu Yi, picked up a stone on the spot and threw it at the wild boar.
puff!
The stone hit the wild boar's nose accurately, and the wild boar grimaced in pain and screamed.
"what……"
After seeing this, Hashimoto seemed to realize something and shouted to others to change his words.
"Look around and see if there's anything you can throw. Throw it at the pig's nose; that's its weak spot!"
weakness?
Hearing this, the others were stunned at first, and then their spirits suddenly perked up.
"Makes sense!"
"Let's go together!"
Of course, the so-called going together does not mean jumping down directly like Ryuuen did, which is too dangerous.
The solution they came up with was to break off the branches they had and throw them like javelins.
Of course, the poor accuracy was unavoidable, and most of them fell to the ground, with only a few hitting the pig's nose accurately by luck.
Unfortunately, the strength is not enough.
The wild boar's IQ is not actually very high, but the concentrated fire attack on its fatal weakness still made the beast feel a little threatened.
It no longer continued to attack, but stopped where it was and retreated little by little.
"Wu Yi! Come down now!" Hashimoto waved anxiously.
"What nonsense are you talking about..."
Wu Yi made an international friendly gesture to him.
"If I come down at this time, it will kick me as soon as it turns its head. What are you doing here? Do you want me to die?"
Hashimoto was stunned when he heard this.
"What should I do?"
“…Nothing happened.”
Wu Yi looked back in the direction the wild boar retreated and sighed softly.
"This thing will probably run away soon. Once it leaves, you can go back to find the teacher. I'll just stay lying here."
"Is this okay?"
Hashimoto was dumbfounded.
"I don't know, at least it's safe for now."
Wu Yi spoke the tragic lines, but there was no trace of tragedy on his face.
"Anyway, the faster you go back to get help, the higher the chances of my survival. In short, this is it..."
Before he could finish his words, Wu Yi's body shook violently. The wild boar, who was about to retreat, no longer hesitated and turned to rush towards the forest beside the road.
“Go quickly~~~~~”
The voice was stretched and distorted, and Wu Yi only had time to finish these two words before he was dragged into the bushes and disappeared in an instant.
The voice was still in his mind. Hashimoto jumped off the branch, waved to the other members of his group who still had a dazed look on their faces and hadn't reacted yet, and said anxiously.
"Hurry! Let's go! Go back and inform the teacher!"
"Yes……"
Even though students from different classes were rivals in school, no one wanted to see someone die in such a matter.
Soon, everyone came down from the trees one after another and hurried back.
But at this moment, Hashimoto suddenly noticed that Koenji was walking alone in the opposite direction for some reason.
"Hey! Where are you going, Koenji?"
"……Um?"
Hearing the call from behind, Kouenji slowly stopped, turned around and smiled.
"Nothing, I just plan to continue to complete my assignment this morning. Besides, one person is enough for reporting the situation, just like Pheidippides. I won't stop you if you want to go back together, but don't expect to stop me from completing my assignment."
