Everyone else is a trainer, but you are a swordsman?

As the person who gave Tan-sama the Pokémon eggs and cultivation secrets, and also his long-time "financial sponsor", Nishikawa Aoi is naturally qualified to take a look at Tan-sama's development.

"Ah."

Feng patted the armrest of the sofa gently and said, "Come out, Tan Shi."

"Charcoal~"

With a childish cry, a "big black charcoal" emerged from Feng's shadow, revealing a big head, and looked around curiously at everything new around him.

It has just been in this world for a short time and is in the stage of being interested in everything, just like a human child.

"So cute!"

Nishikawa Aoi's eyes lit up, a look of fondness appeared on her face, and she wanted to take a few steps forward and reach out to hug it.

"carbon!"

When Tan Xiaoshi saw this, his expression changed instantly and he immediately shrank back into the shadows.

Only half of his head and a pair of eyes were exposed above, and he was staring vigilantly at the human woman in front of him who was trying to "plot something bad" against him.

"Don't be afraid, I held you in my arms when you were in the egg~"

Nishikawa Aoi patiently coaxed the little servant, squatted down lightly, looked at the nervous little servant with a smile on her face, and slowly put one hand towards its head.

but.

"carbon!"

This action instead stimulated the little charcoal servant, and it immediately shrank into the shadow and did not come out, just like a mouse retreating into its hole when it sees a cat.

"..."

As Tan Xiaoshi disappeared, Nishikawa Aoi's hand stopped awkwardly in mid-air, and the atmosphere became dull for a moment.

After a few seconds, Nishikawa Aoi withdrew her hand in frustration, muttering softly, "Tsk, am I that scary?"

She stood up and took out a booklet from her space bracelet, then threw it in front of Feng and said unhappily, "Here, here, this will pay off your reward for this mission."

Feng flipped through it briefly and put Tan Xiaoshi's training manual back into his space bracelet. He was about to say goodbye to Xichuan Aoi and said, "Since the mission has been settled, let's go today..."

"and many more."

Suddenly, Nishikawa Aoi called Feng to stop him, took out a small booklet from his space bracelet and pushed it in front of Feng, narrowing his eyes slightly, "Don't go yet, I have another task for you."

"Sorry, I haven't been..."

Feng shook his head, wanting to refuse.

Recently, he has enough money for the time being, and Miyano has almost figured out all his tricks, so he wants to focus on breeding Pokémon first and take a break from all the dangerous tasks like walking on a tightrope.

but.

Nishikawa Aoi suddenly said, "You don't have to accept it, but this book of mine is about... the cultivation secrets of the Shield Blade monster."

"Um, I don't...I won't refuse missions lately."

Feng paused before he finished speaking, then quickly changed the subject, "Please tell me more about the mission."

"Ah."

Nishikawa Aoi smiled triumphantly and said proudly, "Didn't you ask me to help you find the cheats for Aegis Blade? This cheat is provided by a trainer who has a quasi-King-level Aegis Blade."

Quasi-king level?

That's enough for the current stage.

As long as you have an initial food recipe, you can modify it slightly according to your own situation, spend more time and materials to practice a few times, and you will always be able to make similar food.

Even if there are some differences from the original formula, it is much better than always eating the Alliance's generic food.

Feng looked at the small notebook on the table, and his eyes couldn't help but become hot.

"This is the first volume, only the section for the master level. It will be considered as your deposit."

Nishikawa Aoi tapped the cover of the booklet with her hand and chuckled, "Just like last time, you need to complete all the tasks before I can give you the remaining Quasi-King-level parts."

Judging from the various amazing performances of the Sharp Shield Sword Monster, the Nishikawa family guessed that its qualifications would definitely not be low, at least it would be at the quasi-king level, so they designed it this way.

Still the familiar method.

Only half of the training secret book was given to Feng, and the rest required him to fight hard for his life. However, Feng could not refuse, because Aoi Nishikawa was one of his important ways to obtain resources.

"Tell me about the mission."

Feng took his eyes off the booklet and instead looked seriously at Aoi Nishikawa sitting opposite him.

Being able to use the Shield Blade cultivation secrets as "bait" must be an extremely difficult task, and you may need to take risks yourself.

The various cultivation resources of the Quasi-King level are not so easy to obtain. Even Teacher A Ye admitted that he was still a little short of the right technique when making Quasi-King level food, and sometimes he needed his father's help and guidance.

For ordinary trainers, this secret book is definitely worth a gamble.

but.

Hearing Feng's words, Xichuan Aoi closed his eyes and shook his head: "The detailed task arrangements have not been finalized yet. I guess you won't have anything to do in the next one or two months."

"but……"

Immediately, she suddenly opened her eyes, her gaze slightly fixed, and she said seriously, "What you need to do now is to quickly improve your strength and strive to have multiple gym leader-level Pokémon, so that when we really need you... you can be of use!"

Feng was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Nishikawa Aoi to say that.

Is your current strength not enough?

And he even used such a precious training manual as bait. Could it be that... he wanted me to assassinate the mayor or someone important like Junsha?!

After all, an ordinary gym leader-level trainer is not worthy of Nishikawa Aoi's seriousness. At least he would be a quasi-king, and most likely someone within the league.

According to this speculation, this "money" is really not easy to earn. If you are not careful, you will die without a burial place. However, if you don't know the specific task, you can't be afraid before the battle. You have to make a decision based on the situation at that time.

Feng pondered the pros and cons in his mind.

……

the next day.

The early morning sunlight poured into the room through the window, and Feng woke up from his bed in the dormitory.

He lifted his head off the wind fairy that was resting on his head, pulled out his arm that was being held tightly by Ma-la, and skillfully moved away the charcoal servant that was pressing on his chest, finally freeing himself from the "seal".

He sat up from the bed, and when he got out of bed, his movements were accidentally a little too big.

This woke up the Shield Sword Monster who was sleeping against the bed, causing it to stretch with hazy eyes, although from a distance it looked like just two sword tassels dangling.

School is about to start again today, and it is also an important day for promotion.

Feng rubbed his sleepy eyes, then stood up and went to the bathroom to wash up. The cold water hitting his face instantly made him feel much more awake.

After washing up, Feng returned to the bedroom, opened the wardrobe, took out his neat school uniform and put it on.

He adjusted his collar and cuffs in the mirror, nodded with satisfaction, then turned and opened the door.

"Ma-chan~"

"Wind~"

"carbon!"

Behind him, Ma'la and the Wind Fairy hurriedly jumped up, and the Shield Sword Monster and the Charcoal Servant were not far behind, and they dived into Feng's shadow one after another as quickly as diving.

Outside the door, a ray of sunlight shone through the crack in the door, shining on Feng and the Pokémon behind him...
