The Ninja Academy's Incredible Legends (47): Playing Together, Yet Someone Fell Behind Unaccountably

Adults would never understand what children were really chasing after, or what they liked.

As for what might become popular among Ninja Academy students, even Mizuki could not predict that. The generation gap had absolutely nothing to do with strength or intelligence; the age gap was an insurmountable chasm.

Now, all sorts of campus ghost stories were becoming increasingly popular. Children living in peacetime always concerned themselves with such trivial matters. A few years ago, they would have only played ninja games.

Miyuki, Nagi Gekko, and Futaba Tsumugi, who had brought out several giant bone spurs and blade-like fish fins, instantly became the most sought-after celebrities in the class. They had already been well-known before, but this time, students from other classes and even upperclassmen came over to see what the fish monster had left behind.

The three little ones had polished the two fins until they gleamed brightly enough to serve as mirrors. Several bone spurs had also been ground smooth, and they gave off a chilling air when held in the hand.

The items were placed in a huge brocade box, cushioned with clean cotton cloth and several bundles of hemp fiber to keep their sharp edges from being blunted by bumps.

It was not until class was about to begin that students from the other classes reluctantly left. Their classmates also watched enviously as Futaba Tsumugi closed the lid of the brocade box.

"That's it for now. You can't look anymore."

"Huh? That's so unreasonable! There's still a while before the teacher comes!"

"Who told you not to believe us? We were the ones who exposed Blue Monk's true identity, and you still didn't believe us. Now you understand, right? Monsters really do exist. If you talk nonsense again next time, we won't let you see them."
