The sky gradually darkened.

Night fell.

The forest also gradually quieted down, leaving only the desolate wind shuttling through the dense leaves.

There were also the falling black feathers and the restless darkness.

In front of the facility.

"Okay, Little Cat, let's begin —"

"Test of Courage!" Form Into One excitedly raised his arms and shouted.

The chestnut on top of his head was specially borrowed from Cat Teacher. Form Into One's big movements shook.

Although the latter was not unique to Cat Teacher, he was still a little helper invited by Cat Teacher.

Form Into One still asked for his opinion.

Of course,

There was no need for an answer, just a notification. One person and one ball happily rubbed against each other, making an appointment to participate in the Test of Courage.

"I'm so happy!" Ashito hugged Form Into One in her arms and stroked Form Into One's little curly hair with all her might. Chestnut was forced to change the battlefield.

She angrily knocked Ashito's pink head — even though the other party did not feel it.

Happiness had never been as fleeting as it was at this moment.

Before Takeshi could snatch the person from Ashito's arms,

Aizawa used a set of restraints to take away the five people who needed tutoring.

[I'm sorry, little Sannai.

I can't save you!]

Form Into One could only wave goodbye helplessly.

After everyone finished drawing lots, they looked for their team targets.

"Number 8, number 8 … Is anyone number 8?" Form Into One looked around.

Green Valley, who realized that he was going to be in the same group as the girls, stared at Takeshi's terrifying gaze and raised his hand tremblingly, like a weak little rabbit targeted by a prairie wolf.

He shivered.

Takeshi was like an evil spirit that had crawled out of an old well that had not been repaired for many years, emitting an ominous aura. He put his hand on Green Valley's back and said, "Hey, Stinky Jiu … Change with me."

Behind him was an innocent-looking Hong.

"No, Xiaosheng." Form Into One put his hands on his hips.

He solemnly looked at Takeshi. "Try to get along well with fellow student Hong.

Isn't the original intention of the Test of Courage to improve the relationship between two people in a group? "

(Green Valley: It seems to be the duel between Class A and Class B …)

The North American Shorthair Cat added a rule in time — it was not allowed to change team members.

It was to prevent them from fighting.

Although it was just an ordinary Test of Courage, Form Into One still stuffed the newly created talisman into the Imperial Guard and personally hung it on Takeshi's body.

She watched as he gently stuffed the Imperial Guard into his collar despite his annoyance.

Form Into One smiled and buried himself in Takeshi's arms. He reached out and patted the place where the Royal Guard was obediently waiting, comforting the dragon who was anxious because he had to leave the princess in his lair.

Perhaps he was also annoyed by the fact that he had to team up with Lychee Head next door.

Takeshi was a little unfamiliar with it, but he still expressionlessly requested, "Let me kiss you and I'll agree."

He didn't expect that someone like Takeshi would still be able to make such a request. Hong's eyes widened. With an attitude of 'see no evil', he pulled over Green Valley, who was blushing because he was about to see his classmate scolding and kissing. He forcefully and firmly turned his head away and stared seriously into Green Valley's eyes. "You can't look."

"You're too shy in front of everyone!" Form Into One protested in a low voice.

Takeshi, who was called by his name, had no choice but to let go of the kiss that was within reach. He could only settle for the next best thing, leaving a youthful kiss on Form Into One's soft head. Then, he walked into the forest under the dissatisfied gaze of the North American Shorthair Cat.

Form Into One, whose face was so red that it was almost steaming, and Green Valley, who was extremely shy after hearing the sound and imagining it, looked at each other.

One reason was because they were in public and their classmates were close by. They were a little embarrassed to be overheard making such a request.

The other reason was not only because they overheard the conversation between the couple, but also because they wanted to be alone with the girl — although the girl already had a boyfriend, the most important thing was not her identity, but her gender!

The deep night, the slightly cold wind, and the rising and falling of screams.

Form Into One had never experienced such an experience before. She didn't even dare to touch a horror movie.

In this society where there were all kinds of strange personalities, haunted houses and horror movies had evolved to an unimaginable level. Form Into One, who was afraid that she would be scared to death, had rejected such unacceptable activities since elementary school. However, there was still the element of training today …

"Sigh …" Form Into One sighed softly.

Lychee, who had been obediently sitting on Form Into One's shoulder and rubbing her small ears to attract attention, suddenly rolled back and forth on her narrow shoulder uneasily, making a disturbing hissing sound.

"What's wrong?"

Form Into One carefully took the little girl into her arms and turned around. After thinking for a while, she ran to the bush and squatted down while everyone's attention was not on her. "Can Lychee write?"

Lychee couldn't speak, but her speed and perception were very strong. It couldn't be a good thing for her to be so uneasy.

Form Into One was thinking, staring blankly at the crooked words that were slowly appearing on the ground.

Form Into One tried to decipher it and smiled awkwardly. "I'm sorry, Lychee. I don't seem to understand it …"

Lychee jumped back and forth on the ground anxiously. Form Into One suddenly felt that the screams in the forest seemed to have stopped for a while, and the air was beginning to fill with a faint burnt smell.

"That's …" Green Valley on the other side murmured.

Form Into One looked up abruptly. In the forest in the distance, blue flames with sparkling stars pierced through the dense cover of the guards. The mixed smell of mud and burnt assaulted everyone's vision.

Form Into One was shocked and took a step forward. Her half-squatting body fell to one knee.

She saw more than that.

Deeper in the forest, black fog rose with flames, black crows flapping their wings, and Lychee was restless.

Something was gushing out from there …

"Hey —" Not far away, the North American Shorthair Cat was suddenly sucked over by something unknown. The two people who had appeared at the entrance of the Test of Courage held a square pole wrapped in white cloth and knocked the North American Shorthair Cat unconscious on the ground. The North American Shorthair Cat was fiercely rubbed at its temples — it had no power to fight back.

Shocked by the sudden scene, she reluctantly rethought her thoughts.

Form Into One suddenly realized that they might not only have to face enemies, but also monsters that were attracted by the chaos.

However, Natsume and Cat, who were most capable of dealing with this matter, were not nearby.

Before the start of the Test of Courage, Form Into One was told that the person and the Cat would not participate in their group activities. Cat was rolling on the ground to win a chance to drink.

Form Into One saw Cat turn back into her original form and take Natsume somewhere.

"I hope it's not too far away …"

"No!

It's better to be as far away as possible. "

Form Into One stared at the two enemies in front of her with vigilance, carefully hiding her figure.

Green Valley, who rushed up, was stopped by Tiger. Everyone's face was dignified.

"Quick, Form Into One, think quickly!

Isn't this the time when your personality comes in handy?]

Form Into One clenched her fists and signaled Li to pay attention to her back.

The Pussycats were already fighting with the enemy and didn't seem to notice that there was another person in the grass.

When Sister Mago raised her weapon, Form Into One was shocked. She seized the opportunity to put a barrier on the North American Shorthair Cat lying on the ground and the Mandalay Cat attracted by gravity — failed?!

Form Into One was a little surprised. There was no problem with the North American Shorthair Cat, but she didn't succeed with the Mandalay Cat.

"Gravity and Psychic Power … I'm being repelled."

She succeeded in saving the North American Shorthair Cat, but inevitably, Form Into One exposed her position.

The sudden accident made the few people present hesitate for a while. Tiger was the fastest to react and rushed up to force Sister Mago away from the center of the battle area, leaving the Mandalay Cat, Form Into One, and Stein's fanatical supporter to form a small triangle.

The Mandalay Cat, who lost the control of gravity, quickly got up from the ground, stabilized her body, and said in surprise, "This personality … Form Into One?" The Mandalay Cat couldn't believe that there was a student at the scene.

She suddenly remembered that when Iida left with the team, Form Into One didn't seem to be with them. At that time, she thought that the child would run into the forest to find Takeshi, but she didn't expect him to hide in the side.

"You child … you're really disobedient!" the Mandalay Cat growled.

Form Into One forced herself to stand up straight and covered herself with a barrier, which emitted a blue light in the darkness.

This was the first time she faced an enemy, and her arms were trembling uncontrollably. Tears were about to fall from her eyes, and her eyelashes were wet and trembling uncontrollably.

"So scary … but, you're a person who wants to be a hero-"

"Mandalay Cat, although I'm sorry, I didn't fight with the enemy."

Form Into One tried hard to find her voice, and her right hand pinched the palm of her hand so hard that she could sober up a little.

Tonight's surprise attack was too unexpected, and her Psychic Power had not fully recovered.

Form Into One's neck was tightly pressed against it, and the soft fur gave her a little itch. The warm heartbeat was transmitted through the small body, resonating with her blood vessels and calming her emotions.

Form Into One took a firm step forward, and her eyes were dazzling. She was like a young eagle whose wings were growing, and her back was straight.

"What a reckless little brat …" The Mandalay Cat had a headache, but fortunately, Form Into One's personality could protect itself well.

At least, it succeeded in saving the North American Shorthair.

Spinner waved the weapon in his hand in dissatisfaction. "Don't ignore it-"

"Be careful!"

Spinner's speed was faster than expected, and the Mandalay Cat could not dodge in time. It could only use its hands to block the attack, intending to resist.

A green light, like a god descending from the sky, brought with it a strong wind and a knife-sharp momentum, and shattered the weaver's weapon in one blow.

But the weaver also lost its balance and fell down.

Form Into One opened a barrier for Green Valley in time, and the dust raised slowly settled down, revealing Green Valley's appearance in the barrier.

His body was broken, his right hand looked completely useless, and his left eye was forced open.

"Green Valley …" Form Into One suddenly covered its mouth, and the crying could not be suppressed and overflowed through the gaps of its fingers. "How could this be!"

Green Valley, who was well protected by the barrier, seemed to be relieved and used its head to press against the barrier. "Thank you, Form Into One."

Turning its head, it spoke to the Mandalay Cat seriously, and quickly conveyed the will of Teacher Aizawa, as well as the matter about Takeshi.

"The enemy's target, or at least one of the targets, is Xiaosheng!"

Form Into One only felt its heart stop, and its cheeks were drained of color. It raised its hand with difficulty and grasped something in front of its chest.

Its brain was almost filled with fear and panic.

The fear that it had previously suppressed in the face of the enemy's attack suddenly erupted from a corner of its body.

Its mind almost stopped working, and only Takeshi's figure was left in its mind.
