Going Wild

Under the bright moon, a black figure pounced towards Jilan, its sharp claws making a faint whooshing sound as they swung through the air.

"Hamon Overdrive!"

Hamon flashed in Jilan Jiyu's hands, illuminating the darkness as he threw a punch at the sharp claws. However, his fist didn't feel like it hit anyone. He suddenly turned around and struck back with his hand, instantly colliding with a pair of hairy palms!

Ogami took two steps back, rubbed his slightly reddened palms, and said with a wry smile, "It's only been two hours, and you've already figured out my location... This is really discouraging for Wolf."

As soon as he said that, the lights suddenly came on, revealing a scene that looked like an amusement park.

Jilan Jiyu wiped away the golden light from the Hamon with their breath, the sharp glint in their eyes disappeared, and they raised their heads and smiled, saying, "After all, the only places that can be attacked are the back, the top of the head, and the lower body. As long as you have a sense of it beforehand, it's easy to find the right spot."

After the banquet that evening, the Werewolf took Jilan to the zoo's predator enclosure. The area was relatively open, with some amusement park equipment that the zookeeper had somehow acquired on both sides. Ogami was here that Da Shang began to train Jilan's ability to deal with enemies that attacked from the darkness.

The Werewolf's ability to see in the dark gave him a significant advantage in this area where all the lights were off. He intended to use this in actual combat to force Jilan to withstand his attack.

"For those who operate in the shadows, it's like an assassin who can strike once and then disappear a thousand miles away. As long as you defend against the first attack and locate the opponent, then there's nothing to fear."

"Are you all so eager to get hurt?" Aoi Hana climbed off the carousel; she was the one who had turned on the lights. She wasn't in a very good mood. "I'm a Quirk human, I don't really understand what you're thinking. Can't we train in a more peaceful way since we're not enemies...?"

Aoi Hana was referring to Jilan Jiyu, whose arm had several red scratches from the Werewolf, making it look rather shocking.

Ogami gave a wry smile, "Livestock, there's nothing we can do about it. In the dark, I can see Jilan's movements clearly, but he can't see me. Every attack is at full power. If I held back, I might be the one who gets hurt."

"There's nothing to worry about. Besides, it was my Ogami to use my full strength." Jilan raised her arm for Aoi Hana to see. "Furthermore, I'm quite confident in my recovery ability."

Jilan's arm appeared as if it had never been injured, reflecting a white halo under the light.

A loud "Boom!" suddenly came from the center of the square, followed by the deafening howl of an elephant.

"Jilan, I've simulated various wolf hunting techniques in the dark. You've mastered them very quickly. As long as you don't panic when encountering this type of enemy, you won't suffer fatal injuries." Ogami, somewhat worried about his other companions, spoke up, "Our training is temporarily suspended. Let's go check on the others."

Jilan did not refuse. He had maintained a high level of mental concentration for two hours. Even though the Hamon could enhance the user's lung capacity and quickly restore physical strength, he was already very tired.

Shishido had already returned to the predator enclosure. His cage wasn't far from Jilan and the others' training location, and with his good eyesight, he easily saw the whole thing.

He lay in the cage, propping his head up, watching the departing figures of the group. He chuckled, "That guy Ogami is such an idiot. He thinks he's a wolf, but he's just a husky. Even if he simulates a hunting maneuver, that kind of strength and speed is just the form, not the spirit. How can that kid truly feel threatened if he doesn't have the intention to kill his opponent?... Oh well, time to sleep. I don't care about them."

"Slow down, slow down, that stupid gorilla can't catch up!" The zookeeper fixed a sofa to the elephant's back, held a fishing rod with a banana wrapped around the bait, and started fishing with his back to the elephant.

The gorilla's eyes turned red with envy as it stared at the bananas. It kept chasing the elephant, making it run in circles around the square, occasionally letting out a mournful cry.

The cheetah was running continuously inside a circular roller, with railings on both sides preventing it from escaping. At first, the cheetah was very fast, making the roller even faster. However, as the cheetah's stamina gradually decreased, it could no longer keep up with the roller's speed. Finally, with a thud, it fell into the roller, its fingers gripping the surface as it spun around...

"Is the headmaster getting into the swing of things...?" Looking at this comical yet absurd scene, Jilan really wanted to ask, "How come you're so skilled at this...?"

Jilan didn't tell the zoo director what form the animals should perform in, as he didn't know much about the animals and the songs weren't ones he was familiar with. He simply suggested forming a circus.

Just like the Statue of the Director of Liberty, the principal has a great passion for what interests him, and in just a few hours, he has already created several programs that can be called shows. The circus is mainly for making people laugh, whether it is a cheetah that can't run on a wheel or an orangutan that can't catch a banana, it can make people laugh.

"Ogami, are you done over there?" The headmaster knew what Ogami Shang had promised Jilan, or rather, this condition was what he had agreed to, since he felt a little embarrassed that he had brought Jilan to this remote place.

The zookeeper put down his fishing rod, ignoring the gorilla who had gotten the banana. Instead, he leaped off the elephant's back and landed right in front of the Ogami, just like a real rabbit, as he was adept at jumping.

"Rhinoceros, bring me the paint!"

Upon hearing the headmaster's words, the rhinoceros, which had been looking down at the fire, slowly stood up from the ground, hung a bucket of fuel from the corner on its horn, and brought it to the headmaster.

Seeing the principal looking at him with a broad smile, Ogami panicked a little. "Principal, what do you want me to do?"

The director, beaming, dipped a brush into the bucket of gold paint and said, "Every circus needs a grand finale. Since Shishido doesn't want to jump through the fire hoop, we'll just dye you yellow and dress you up as a lion. The effect won't be too different, will it? Don't move—"

"It would be a miracle if I didn't move!" Ogami immediately jumped back a step, moving away from the headmaster. "I'm a wolf! Even if I'm painted yellow, I'm still just a coyote, not a lion!"

"So, what about a coyote jumping through a ring of fire?"

"No one will watch!"

The rabbit's head started to ache. "Honestly, if only the Snake Woman were here right now, you guys are all so unreliable..."

"You're the most unreliable one!"

Ignoring the animals' chorus of complaints, the zoo director suddenly turned to Jilan Jiyu and Aoi Hana and said, "You two are human, right? Our zoo is closed for the next few days. You two need to find a suitable place for our circus to perform in Oumagadoki City or a nearby city. We'll have our first performance of the Oumagadoki Circus this Friday night."

"That's incredibly fast!"
