The itchy and numb feeling on his calf made Zhang Tie wake up. The moment he opened his eyes, he looked at the blue-gray stone roof in front of him that looked to be quite old. Zhang Tie was slightly confused for a moment, and then he remembered what happened.

The wolf... the black hole... the endless rolling inside the hole, and the huge shock that occurred all over his body before he completely lost consciousness.

Are you not dead yet? Zhang Tie pinched his face, it hurt, and then quickly touched his whole body from head to toe. No parts were missing, and his little brother was still there. There were just a few scratches and bruises on his body, but it was nothing.

"Ha... ha..." Zhang Tie laughed while sitting on the bed.

Hearing the whisper in the room, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a figure rushed in, "Big Head, it's great that you're awake, ha... ha..."

The figure who rushed in directly pushed Zhang Tie back on the bed. The severe pain in his leg made Zhang Tie scream again, "Ah, bastard, my leg, you pressed my leg..."

Hearing Zhang Tie's screams, Doug quickly let go of Zhang Tie and stood beside the bed again, scratching his head stupidly, "Hey, I'm sorry, I forgot that your leg was injured..."

In just a short while, a small drop of sweat appeared on Zhang Tie's forehead, and his face was twitching with pain. After taking two deep breaths, the pain in his legs gradually eased a lot, "Where is this place? Why am I here?"

"This is Wild Wolf Castle's castle. After you fell into the cave that day, teachers Captain Colin and Jerome got you out of that black hole that night. You are so lucky. I heard that after the cave reaches thirty meters, there are several very huge slopes that lead to more than two hundred meters below. Teacher Captain Colin and Jerome went down to almost two hundred meters underground before they brought you up. Seeing that you were injured and still unconscious, they sent you here for treatment and recuperation. This is a treatment only given to those who have been injured and lost the ability to move..." Doug's mouth opened, and he immediately told what happened in the past two days.

What kind of treatment can only those who are seriously injured receive? Zhang Tie looked at the house he was in. It was very large, and seemed to be like a ward, with more than ten beds. The beds and bedding were all very clean, and there was a smell of disinfectant in the room. It looked like it was indeed a place provided by Wild Wolf Castle's castle for the wounded to stay while they were being treated.

"How long have I been unconscious?"

"Think of what you said the night before last and yesterday, and you've been in a coma for two days!"

"I've been unconscious for two days?" Zhang Tie was a little surprised, "By the way, who is that teacher Jerome?"

"Of course it's been two days. That Jerome is the teacher in charge of Second Boys Middle School. You should have the impression that he is thin, white, and looks like a pretty boy?" Doug was talking, but Zhang Tie had already seen a "thin, white, and looks like a pretty boy" walking to the door and preparing to come in.

Zhang Tie quickly winked at this guy Doug, and even tugged on his clothes with one hand, but this guy Doug's head would short-circuit at critical moments. He actually didn't understand the hint Zhang Tie gave him, and was even surprised.

"Why are you pulling me here? I'm not wrong. That Jerome looks like a pretty boy. When he smiles, he always gives people a very sinister feeling..."

"If you say I look like a pretty boy, I can understand it as your jealousy of my handsome appearance, but if you say my smile is sinister, then I can only interpret it as your slander against the Provisional Inspection Committee committee member!" With these words, Jerome had already walked over.

Zhang Tie shouted helplessly, "Teacher Jerome!"

Doug's face turned pale, and he glanced at Zhang Tie with a resentful look. Then he turned around stiffly and stammered, "Zhe... Teacher Jerome!"

"Your name is Doug, right? According to the alliance's wartime management laws, how should we deal with those who slander and insult Wartime Management Committee officials?" Jerome laughed at this moment, which really gave people a very sinister feeling.

Hearing this, Doug's body was shaking so much that he could sift chaff, and even his teeth were chattering. According to the alliance's wartime management laws, such a crime could lead to a prison sentence at the least, and the possibility of execution at the worst.

Zhang Tie was so frightened that his face changed, "Teacher Jerome, Doug he..."

Jerome came over and kicked Doug outside with a kick on the butt, "This is your punishment for slandering the teacher..."

This guy Doug was so blessed that he immediately learned his lesson. As soon as he was kicked on the butt, he rushed out of the door, turned around and made a face at Zhang Tie, and ran away without a trace.

This Jerome is not a bad person. This is Zhang Tie's first impression of Jerome. Generally, teachers who laugh and kick students' butts are not bad at all.

"Thank you, Teacher Jerome. I just woke up and found out what happened that day, and I was about to go and thank you!" Zhang Tie made a gesture to get out of bed.

"Okay, just stop moving. Your legs will probably need to rest for two days. You don't need to thank me. Too many students failed in this trial and we will be embarrassed!" Jerome waved his hand casually and sat on the bed, "By the way, how did you think of jumping into that hole to escape that day? You know, in In that case, most people's escape directions are different from the one you choose, and the hole is bottomless. If you really want to jump down, the courage required is no less than facing the seven wolves alone. Moreover, unknown things are the most terrifying, and holes that cannot see the bottom are the most terrifying. Many people who are stronger than you may not dare to jump."

Zhang Tie scratched his head in embarrassment and said what was on his mind when he was running for his life that day, "I don't know why, but that's what I was thinking when I saw those wolves emerging from the grass that day., I knew that my only hope of survival was that hole, and my life and death depended on those twenty seconds. Anywhere else I ran would be a dead end. I thought so, so I did this. Teacher Jerome, is there something wrong?"

"No, you did a good job. No one can do better than you in that situation..." Jerome was stunned for a moment before laughing, "I was originally wondering why you could make such an amazing and accurate action in such a short period of time. Now it seems that this is a talent of yours, a talent that allows you to maintain extreme calmness and the most accurate judgment in the face of danger..."

"Is this also a talent?" Zhang Tie was a little embarrassed. Zhang Tie guessed that this seemed to be related to the magical Little Tree. According to Teacher Daina, the distracting thoughts and various messy thoughts and ideas in the human brain are also fluctuations that consume human energy. In that case, he has no distracting thoughts., to understand it from another perspective is that at that time, I had no extra energy to focus on those distracting thoughts, and let those distracting thoughts and random thoughts and thoughts interfere with my judgment. Where did the extra energy go? Of course, it has something to do with the Little Tree. Zhang Tie never felt that he had this ability before!

Of course, Jerome couldn't know what Zhang Tie was thinking at the moment, but answered Zhang Tie's doubts very seriously, "Of course, more than ninety-nine percent of people will never be as calm as you when facing the kind of danger you encounter, and can make such accurate and sharp judgments in an instant. That guy Colin said that you are good at escaping and preserving your life. It seems that you are really good at it..."

Facing this compliment that was equally hard to distinguish between praise and blame, Zhang Tie could only smile dryly, and at the same time thought of the guy at the mining site. Could it be that Second Middle School and these guys all learned their strange aura from this Jerome.

"By the way, is your Divine Palace Bright Point lit?"

"It was lit on the third day of the trial here!"

The strength he showed when killing wolves has completely surpassed that of the ordinary Battle Worker. Under such circumstances, it would be difficult for the ordinary Battle Worker to kill three wolves cleanly at once. This matter is definitely no longer a secret. It would be too stupid to lie about this matter. There were many outstanding people in this trial. I heard that even a few girls lit up Divine Palace Bright Point. At this time, it would not attract too much attention if they lit up Divine Palace Bright Point.

Sure enough, when I heard that Zhang Tie had already ignited Divine Palace Bright Point's matter, Jerome just showed an expression as if it was true. He didn't ask too much, but just encouraged him a few words. Then he got to the point.

"Wolves are very smart animals. Generally, lone wolves may break into crowded places to hunt or wander, but wolves will not, because they know that it is very dangerous. It is possible for a wolf to go crazy, but the possibility of a group of wolves going crazy together is very small. In the past ten years or so, after the Wild Wolf Castle garrison raids, five kilometers near Wild Wolf Castle It's hard to hear news about a group of wolves within the radius. As for your attack, since there is no other evidence that anyone planned it, Provisional Inspection Committee's investigation concluded that it was an accident. I say this, you just have to know it yourself!" Jerome said it very implicitly, but Zhang Tie understood the meaning.

"Teacher, do you mean that the attack on me this time may have been caused by human manipulation?" Zhang Tie's expression changed again.

"I didn't say that. What I meant was that you were attacked suddenly this time. I don't rule out the reason why someone is causing trouble behind your back. I like smart students the most. I like you, so I would like to remind you to pay more attention during the trial period and try not to act alone in the future!" Jerome said very straightforwardly.

"Is there anyone who can control the wolves?" Zhang Tie was surprised.

Zhang Tie's surprise was only replaced by a gentle smile from Jerome, "It's not difficult to control the wolves. If you have a chance in the future, you will meet one of Beast Tamer or Church of the Guardian God's Wilderness Guardian, this kind of thing is too childish for them. Since it is not difficult to control the wolves, then it is nothing if the wolves appear in specific places at specific times and attack specific people. This world is full of wonders..."

After Jerome left, Zhang Tie fell into deep thought alone. The last few words of Jerome were a bit subtle, but they were obviously telling Zhang Tie to be careful. What was he wearing? Zhang Tie thought about it over and over again. Apart from Gelis's group, he really didn't have trouble with anyone among these trial students. Was it really Gelis and the others who did it?

As soon as Jerome left, Doug came back with probing eyes. From Doug's envious tone, Zhang Tie realized that the three wolves had actually increased his "net worth" by a lot...
