In the secret training ground of St. Dawn Academy.

Ailin quietly faced a wooden stake that was a little higher than him so that two people could surround him.

The wooden stake was wrapped around a circle of tight ropes, as if it was wrapped in a thick layer of armor.

Ailin looked at the giant wooden stake with the eyes of the enemy.

"Swish!"

Suddenly, his body broke through the air, pressed his left hand towards the giant wooden stake, and his entire left hand was filled with an astonishing number of magic particles, just like a bright purple-red sun rising on his hand.

A ball of white ice cubes about the size of this giant wooden stake suddenly appeared between his left hand and the giant wooden stake. The moment he collided with the giant wooden stake, the thick ropes wrapped around the outside of the giant wooden stake exploded and splashed out in pieces.

The entire giant wooden stake is pulled out from the ground and it is about to fly backwards.

But at this moment, Ailin also made a terrifying sound like hundreds of ropes cracking at the same time.

This sound was entirely caused by the huge shock of the air outside him!

At this moment, his whole person gave all the muscles and the power in the human body, and the power in every tiny molecule, which was completely terrifying, as if his whole person was about to explode.

His right fist, with the power of the mountain torrent, hit the huge white ice in front of him with a fierce punch.

"Crack..."

The white giant ice is like a living object, and its power bursts out again, and the whole piece has deformed. The ice edges sputter forward. The white ice cubes that were originally close to the square form formed a narrow and long sputter forward, completely like a huge ice and snow crown laying flat!

"Ka!"

The giant wooden stake that had risen from the ground was shattered by the power that exploded again at this moment. Countless broken woods were frozen by balls of white ice and snow, splashing out from behind, sprinkling dozens of meters behind everywhere.

Ailin looked dull.

After stagnating for a few seconds, he jumped up and jumped to a height of six or seven meters.

"So awesome!"

"Success! I finally succeeded, successfully exerting the effect of the double blow of physical strength and mana!"

"Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!…."

...

Kate walked out of the shade of the tree not far behind Ailin. Looking at Ailin who was so excited that he could not help but shake his head, feeling that Ailin was becoming more and more terrifying.

"How is it, Teacher Kate, have you seen it? I've succeeded. I've been able to use the 'Ice and Snow Crown'!"

"See it."

Looking at Ailin who jumped in front of him, Kate let out a long sigh and said, "You are ten days faster than I expected as soon as possible. Since that's the case, you can rest for two days and then start doing all your strength training."

"Two days off?"

Ailin looked at Kate with some incomprehension: "But there are ten days left to compete with the SHIELD Academy. My mental power has not reached the level of condensing the essence of the art... Don't you continue to train?"

"Believe in my judgment, I will arrange the most appropriate rest or practice for you based on your physical and mental state." Kate explained gently and patiently: "You should take two days off first, and then train according to my requirements. The effect will be better than you practice hard for ten consecutive days. Your body and mental power are now in an excessively high pressure state. If you strengthen your training, it will have more harm to your body. After proper relaxation, when your body and mental state relax, give you a strong stimulation, so that you will make progress faster. Nervous, relax, nervous... Practice must follow this rhythm, and you must also figure out the rhythm that suits you most. Also, I will control the time when you condense the magic primordial particles. Do you still remember what I said to you at the beginning?"

"Believe you, you will take me to win one victory after another!" Ailin laughed, "I understand, Teacher Kate, I will do what you say."

"Go and relax."

...

"Teacher Kate! Teacher Kate!"

Shortly after watching Ailin leave, Kate had just walked out of the secret training ground when he saw the incest Ailin running back towards the secret training ground.

"What's wrong?" He couldn't help but be stunned.

"Is Chris's home in this St. Lauren?" Ailin looked at him and asked, "I just went to the Thinker's Stone Forest. She was not there. Then I heard what she practiced there. Her two classmates said that Chris went home. Teacher, you are responsible for registering. You must know where her home is in St. Lauren, right?"

"You're going to find her?" Kate was stunned.

"Yes." Ailin scratched his head embarrassedly, "I don't know what to do when I rest. I originally wanted to see what she practiced, but I didn't expect she was not here either."

Kate hesitated for a moment, but said: "If I remember correctly, her family should be in the Weiling District, near the foot of the mountain south of St. Lauren, where there are many small thrift stores and antique stores. If you want to find her, you can first find a store that specializes in repairing leather boots. Her family is near that store, and you should find it if you ask."

It took a full half a day before Ailin found what Kate said about the shoe repair shop.

This is a small shop with dark or brown shoe polish on the walls and shelves. There are a few dirty kids with bare butts playing games at the door, and there is no signboard.

The Wiring District is a slum in the entire St. Lauren City.

Like most cities in the Kingdom of Edge, the higher the height, the more rich people and big families gather. On the contrary, the lower the foot of the mountain, the more low the craftsmen, failed merchants, frustrated artists, and artisans gather.

To give the simplest example, the sewage pipes in the city are arranged from top to bottom, and a large amount of sewage flows to the foot of the mountain every day. People in some areas may face a stinking sewage river when they go out.

However, Ailin does not have much intuitive concepts for the wealthy family and the slums. After all, the Cololin town where he was before was far poorer and more deserted than the slums in St. Lauren City, so even in the Weiling District, he felt that there were many interesting small shops and life seemed quite convenient.

"Uncle, do you know where Chris's house is?"

"It's the one next door, the one closest to the bridge."

"Thank you uncle!"

Listening to the advice of the owner of the shoe repair shop, Ailin quickly distinguished which Chris's home was.

There is a dry ditch that seems to be used to pour rain to separate the entire Weiling area into two. It is not rainy season now. This ditch about two meters wide is covered with weeds of more than one person tall, and only some larger oval stones are exposed. There is an old stone bridge that can accommodate a carriage passing across the center of the ditch.

Not far from this old stone bridge, there is a stone path leading to a row of stone bungalows about two or three meters higher than the old stone bridge.

There are venues in front and behind those stone houses, some are cleanly organized, and some are planted, but they have no walls.

Now the door of Chris' house on the edge is open, but there is no one on the flat stone site in front.

Ailin ran to the end of the street excitedly and ran up the stone steps in three or two steps. On the flat stone ground, he saw that Chris's house was very simple, with some simple furniture placed there, and the back door facing the front door was also open. He immediately saw a petite figure washing a man with gray hair.

"Chris."

He could tell at a glance that the person who was seriously helping the gray-haired man wash his hair was Chris.

"Elin? Why are you here?" Chris, who heard Elin's voice, turned his head in surprise.

At the same time, the man who had been holding the basin with his hands suddenly raised his head and turned around. As a result, all the water from his hair flowed to his body, and his upper body's clothes suddenly became mostly wet.

"Airin...hehe...Christ...Champion..."

"National Championship..."

While turning to look at Ailin, the man also smiled foolishly, and kept repeating a few vague sentences.

Ailin was stunned.

He saw that the man's face was a little old, with wrinkles all over the corners of his eyes, but his face was very similar to Chris, and his eyes were a little fixed. Although he seemed to be smiling at him, the words he said were vaguely, as if he was just saying for him and Chris to listen to.

"Look at you, you let your head down obediently, and you lifted up again without obedience."

Chris took a dry towel like a blame, rubbed his hair, wiped the water marks on his body, and then stuck out his tongue at Elin, asking Elin to wait for her for a while.

The gray-haired man who looked a little like her always smiled happily, then kept muttering and repeating some simple words.

"Chris…Champion…National Championship…"

In these vague voices, looking at Chris who seemed to take care of a child and was spoiled to take care of him, but Elin's nose became sore involuntarily.

"Be good first... My friend in the academy is here, I will talk to him first."

After helping the man dry his hair and peeling some fruit, Chris waved to Ailin and asked Ailin to follow her to a clearing on the hillside not far away.

"Is he your father?" Ailin, who sat down beside Chris, asked heavyly, eating the two pieces of fruit that Chris stuffed into the water.

"Yes." Chris also ate a piece of fruit and looked at the small stone bridge down the slope in front of him.

"Then he..." Ailin turned his head and looked at the man in the open space behind the house not far below. He wanted to ask, but hesitated a little.

"You should see that too." Chris stuffed the fruit in his hand into his mouth at once, and then wiped his hands with his childish hands, as if he could wipe them clean. "He was normal... Seven years ago, a caravan in St. Lauren City was attacked by a thief squad near Red Pine Valley. My parents were both from the squad of magicians who protected the caravan. My mother died in battle, and my father was too injured. He was unconscious for a long time before he woke up... Later, he became like this. There was no problem with his daily life. It was my mother who used to wash his hair, so if I didn't wash his hair, he wouldn't wash his hair."

Ailin suddenly felt that the sweet fruit in his mouth became dry, and he looked at Chris's side face.

Although Chris said it very simply and plainly, and her expression had not changed much, he could also see Chris's strength and could bear and get used to all this. But his mood could not be as calm as Chris.

"Did that thief squad later catch it?"

"Catch it."

"Then why... your father kept saying the championship, the national championship?" Ailin looked at Chris' face. He couldn't imagine what happened to her at that time. He couldn't help but stutter and asked, "This...this...this...this is the reason why you kept saying you wanted to win the national championship?"

"Yes." Chris looked up at the sky and said vigorously: "Because my father and mother were also members of the two academy teams. Although they were not that strong, their academy team was just an ordinary academy team, they met in the field of watching the championship... That should be the deepest picture in my father's mind. He might want to see my mother again in the finals... Or maybe he and my mother also wanted to win the championship back then, maybe he felt that I was better than him and my mother... Now he doesn't remember anything, he only knows me, but he seems to want to see me win the championship, so I must give it a try."

Is it because that field and this game are of particular significance to him and the deepest memory in his mind?

Maybe there is the most beautiful picture of his life?

Or was that final trophy the hottest thing in his mind?

Or maybe he thinks he can meet his lost wife again there?

Or it doesn't make any sense at all, it's just some fragments of consciousness, or he himself doesn't know why he wants to see Chris become the champion of the national competition.

But that's Chris' dream.

This is the real reason why Chris worked harder than anyone else, and was a girl like a psychopath in the eyes of others.
