~： The first year story 048, the offensive and defensive warfare under the night

Principal Campa snorted again. He threw their transcripts on the table and said, "Do you really want to improve your credits?"

"Yes...yes, sir."

"Very well, then there is no need to wait for the new semester. I now have a task to give you. As long as you successfully complete the task, I will immediately add 50 points to your credits. Do you not?"

In Selton raised his head, surprised at the huge number of fifty points. But Felt didn't care about this, and quickly nodded and said: "Do! Let's do it!"

"Since you do, then answer me first, where is the place with the most food storage in the D campus of the dormitory area?"

Campus D? The two thought for a while. Felt's face was blurred, but Inselton's brain was quick, and he replied: "Sir, it's a ‘banquet tea restaurant’."

"Yes. Recently, the food in this tea restaurant has always been inexplicably lacking. So I want you to guard one night and catch the thief who stole the food. After you get it, bring the thief here. Come. But if you can't guard it and let the other party steal the food smoothly again... when the time comes, you will come and tell me as soon as possible."

This is really a strange task. Inselton and Felt looked at each other without knowing what Principal Campa meant.

"Sir, does the thief only steal food? If so, is it a mouse, or other creatures or something?" Felt asked.

Campa raised his head and snorted. This cold snort caused Felt to shrink back, and then the principal said something chilling--

"Other creatures? Hmm... Maybe, what you are facing is a real ‘beast’, maybe."

——————————————————————————————

The clear night sky slowly disappeared, replaced by a dark night that was blocked by layers of dark clouds. The moonlight and the stars are all hiding behind the thick clouds, as if afraid of something, not daring to show a little brilliance.

The dormitory area was silent late at night.

It is unimaginable that it would be so quiet on a summer night. When the wind blows on thin clothes, it can bring people an inexplicable cold.

Felt wrapped his clothes, and both came to the "banquet tea restaurant" shop with Inselton. Inselton took out the key, opened the door tightly locked by the three-layer iron chain, and walked in.

"Hey, what do you mean by the last ‘wild beast’ that Campa said?"

Fürth couldn't wait for Inselton to lock the door completely, and sat down at a table in the dining room.

"I don't know." Inselton locked the door and shrugged. He touched his freckled cheek and snorted, "Maybe Campa meant that the opponent is not a human, but a monster."

"Magic...Warcraft?!"

"Shhh, keep quiet, don't be so surprised."

After covering his mouth, Felt tried to calm himself down, and said, "Yes... the other party is a monster? What should we do?!"

Inselton sat in front of Firth and said, "What should we do? Of course, it is to catch it~~~. Don’t forget, Master Goodsey was able to subdue three by one person last year. Grade Beast. From the point of view that that Beast only steals food, its strength should not be much higher. What I care more about is the fifty credits, which is related to my face."

Felt smiled naively, he stretched out his hand, patted Inselton's shoulder lightly, and smiled: "Yes, yes! Your brother, brother, and cousins ​​are all martial arts or Zongshi Of course, you are the only one who is not talented enough and can only stay in the Department of Science and Technology. But your manufacturing skills are not very good. If your academic performance is not good, it is really...er..."

Felt's mouth cramped because he saw Inselton's vicious eyes.

"Yes... I'm sorry..."

Inselton snorted and said: "What about high strength? In the future, people who use their brains more than hands are more effective in combat. Those who can only fight and kill can only be led by people like me. Go everywhere. Except for Master Goodsey, I can assure you that no one in this college is more active in transitional thinking than me! Do you dare to bet with me?"

Felt stuck his tongue out and stopped talking. Indeed, apart from the once-in-five-year encounter of Dylaw Goodsay, a genius who is far superior to ordinary people in terms of study and strength, there is really no one of his age who can match the freckles in front of him in intellectual warfare. In the last college chess competition, he also lost only to Dai Lao, firmly sitting on the second place.

The darkness outside the store became more intense, and everything was poured into the darkness except for the lights in the store hall. The two children were talking in the light and commenting on their own strength in the light.

Yes, they have always stayed in the light. And when "darkness" gradually came over, "light" was always the first thing to be swallowed.

rustle……

The wind blew the large tree outside the door for decoration, and the leaves made a light noise...

"Ok?!"

Inselton, who was talking loudly about how he won the chess tournament, suddenly stopped! He stood up abruptly and looked out against the glass beside him.

"what happened?"

Felt had found out a packet of snacks at some point and asked as he ate it.

Inselton looked around, but no matter where he looked, there was only darkness. The sky is gone, the earth is gone, even the decorative tree that is only three meters away is now hidden in the darkness...

"It's really bad weather."

Inselton backed away from the window. He pulled out the saber on his waist, watched, step by step, and retreated towards the food warehouse behind the front hall.

"Inselton, what's the matter?"

"Shhh, don't talk."

Inselton turned off the lights in the store, and in the darkness, he quietly pushed open the door of the warehouse——

"Our'prey' has already appeared."

The warehouse was also dark. Inselton held the flashlight in one hand and the sword in the other, and slowly circled the warehouse. He raised his head and looked at the transom at the edge of the warehouse.

The window has an iron fence, and it can be opened less than ten centimeters. Human hands may be able to reach in, but it is even more difficult to reach the food inside.

Indoors, various vegetables and foods are placed on various shelves. The door of the freezer was closed, and the meat and cheese inside were intact. There are wooden sticks of different lengths on a shelf next to the transom. The sticks are hung with hooks, which are used to hook roast duck and turkey. Now, those cooked foods are all put in the storage cabinets in the center of the warehouse.

Outside the store, the cold night breeze was blowing. Those winds hit the door of the store, blocked by the locked door, and dissipated.

After Innselton went around for a week, he greeted Felt to walk into the warehouse and locked the door from the inside. The two people sat down in a corner of the warehouse and looked at the transom window vigilantly.

"Inselton...?"

"I don't know what it is. But I can be sure that it will never come in."

Inselton’s mouth raised a smug smile, and continued: “This warehouse has two entrances. One is the back door, leading to the outside, and the other leading to the front hall. Now, no matter which door I am Locked, if the other party is a'person', he will never get in."

Felt sighed, his fat face flushed. He clutched the sword in his hand, and said tremblingly: "Then...if the other party is not...people...is...Beastcraft...?"

"Then kill it." Inselton looked at the sword in his hand and sneered. "The power of the two of us can't kill even a beast that can only steal food. Incompetent."

After speaking, the warehouse fell silent. The two of them almost held their breaths, both holding their swords, quietly waiting for...that thing to appear.

One minute……

Two minutes...

five minutes……

ten minutes…………

Quiet, full of this world. Even the wind outside seemed to be afraid of something, and didn't dare to blow it anymore...

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

suddenly! There was a buzzing sound from the door leading to the front hall! Felt's eyes widened suddenly, pinching his sword and gritting his teeth! But Innselton smiled excitedly and gently pressed his friend.

"Don't worry, that thing is locked out, in a hurry!"

"But... but such a heavy knock on the door!"

"Ah, you are right. It seems that I am wrong. The other party is not a monster at all, but just an extremely ordinary human being."

Inselton gently stroked the blade in his hand, and a cruel smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Although I don't know who the other party is, but the door and windows are closed, that person will never come in."

"Then... Then do we just have to wait here and stay till dawn?"

"Stay till dawn? Why?"

Inselton touched his nose, ran his fingers across the freckles on his face, and smiled excitedly: "Firth, we are now on a mission. If we say that we not only kept the food here, but also If the food thief catches it, will the credits be higher?"

Felt froze for a moment, but soon, he also showed an excited smile.

"Yes, yes! And... and..." He drew out the sword, the excited smile on the corners of his mouth thickened.

"Yes! We can kill that thief. And it's still fair to kill!"
