Ash stumbled out of Derek's house, looking like a battered cabbage, with unkempt hair and dazed little eyes, crippled and lost.

"Ash, who is bullying you again?" Everyone in the village was so used to it, they laughed and joked.

Ash flutteringly showed his two dimples to people, and passed by like floating again.

"Hahahaha." His appearance successfully amused everyone along the way.

Ash drifted to Teacher Nathan's place. Although many things happened last night, he didn't intend to miss work because of this.

When I walked to the door of Mr. Nathan's house, I happened to meet Nathan who was going out.

"Teacher." Ash immediately stood at attention and whispered, "Sorry for being late today."

"It's okay. I heard Derek say that he has something to ask for you." Seeing Ash's cute and cute little appearance, Nathan's usual serious face also brought a smile, "I'll go out for a while, Ah Why don't you go to the pharmacy to prepare some digestive potions, many people were fed up last night, and they must all need this today."

Ash nodded, and while habitually rolled up his sleeves before preparing the potion, he walked into the house.

When he walked past Nathan, Nathan held down his shoulder all of a sudden.

"Hey, Ash, your arm... what is this?"

Ash was startled, not knowing what Nathan was referring to.He lowered his head subconsciously, looked at his arm, and he gave a light snort in surprise——

what is this? !!

On his originally smooth left forearm, there was a leaf-shaped imprint, slender, dark red, small but delicate, and even the veins of the leaves were clearly visible.

Like a vermilion birthmark growing out of the flesh.

what is this?

Ash couldn't help questioning again, he carefully stretched out his hand to touch it, and the place where his fingertip touched was colder and greasy compared with the surrounding skin.

Something unusual grows on the body.Ordinarily he should feel flustered and terrified at this time.

But when his fingertips touched this imprint, Ash sighed "It's so cool", and the next moment he recalled the tall and slender young man under the moonlight, with an indifferent expression and his waist swaying.

Without any basis, touching this imprint reminded him of youth.

And thinking of youth, he felt at ease without any basis.Even if there were strange marks on his arms, he was not worried or panicked.

...Probably, because that person saved him?

Ash didn't even realize that the two dimples on his cheeks sank slightly.

Nathan noticed his smile, however, and managed to read it.

"Eh? Ash, are you in love?" Nathan suddenly wondered, "Do you have someone you like?"

Ash froze, what, what?

Why did you say that suddenly?

"You young people." Nathan nodded his arm and said with a smile, "I like to get these weird things tattooed on my body when I fall in love. Feelings should be expressed with actions. What is a symbolic symbol? significance?"

"..." Ash nana, "... ah... oh."

He wanted to explain that it wasn't that he didn't have it, but he suddenly realized that Mr. Nathan's statement rationalized the appearance of the imprint, and he didn't need to think about the reason, so he silently acquiesced.

"It's so rare, Ash is also enlightened." Nathan patted Ash's shoulder jokingly, "Which girl is it from our village?"

Naturally, Ash couldn't answer, his face turned red from holding back, and he just shook his head.

Nathan thought about it, if it was a girl in the village, if Ash wanted to like it, he would have liked it a long time ago, and he wouldn't just realize it now.That's not the girl from the village, who came to the village recently...

Teacher Nathan suddenly realized again.

He lowered his voice comfortingly: "Is it someone from the troupe last night?"

The girls in the troupe are indeed very good-looking, and it is normal to attract Ash at this age.

"dont be sad."

As soon as he had a good impression, the other party left with the troupe. No wonder Ash, who has always been well-behaved and honest, rebelliously tattooed that mark on his arm.

"If you really like it, there will be a chance to see you again in the future."

Teacher Nathan met Ash's confused gaze, and his powerful voice was like a beacon that illuminates the road ahead, guiding the direction: "You are all still young, and the future has infinite possibilities."

Ash: "... ah... um."

Teacher Nathan nodded in relief: "Okay, let's prepare the potion. I went out to find Master Rachel, and I haven't seen him this morning." After finishing speaking, he brushed past Ash and strode out .

Ash turned his head to send him away, knowing that the teacher could only return in vain, but he didn't call to stop the teacher.

On the one hand, Derek has left this matter to him.

The second is... love?the person I like? ... Where did he show clues that Mr. Nathan was so sure?

Does he like that young man?

Ash stood there belatedly, his fair cheeks quietly stained with a thin layer of red.

……

Throughout the long summer, Duogu Village has been buzzing around four topics.

One is that Master Rachel, who was loved and respected by everyone, left.

The village chief said that on the night of the celebration, Master Rachel left in a hurry without saying goodbye to everyone because he was in a hurry and didn't want to disturb everyone's interest.I just ask him to convey my apology for leaving without saying goodbye.Derek also said that he happened to see Rachel leave and said goodbye to her.

The villagers who have received a lot of favors from Rachel can only regret that they were too involved in the celebration night and did not notice Master Rachel's departure.

Now that the summer is over, everyone in the village still misses him.

Speaking of the celebration, the wonderful performance that night made the Star Troupe the second topic of interest.

Everyone is discussing that the theater troupe will be invited to perform in the village at the Hunting Tooth Festival in autumn.

However, no one has found out the recent whereabouts of the Star Theater Troupe. I don't know if they can be contacted before the Tooth Hunting Festival.

The third topic also has something to do with the celebration.

——After the celebration, Ash stole the show by punching Derek and kicking Aubrey, and the whole village was invincible.

The first sign was that on the first morning after the celebration, Ash ran around the village three times and managed to get Aubrey to lie down and admit defeat.

After that, it was even more out of control.

Here, the fourth topic must be mentioned first: Duogu Village has recently become a trend of physical fitness.It was proposed by the village chief and the high-level hunting team, to the effect that "Even Ash can beat Aubrey with his hard work. It can be seen that people's potential is immeasurable, especially young people. Is it a pity?" So the young people in the village were forcibly organized to train with members of the hunting team every morning.

Others in the village found it very interesting to see it, and they also walked around in the early morning, twisting and turning, and felt that their energy throughout the day was better than before.

It was in such an atmosphere where everyone was exercising that Ash suddenly emerged, showing incomparable bravery, and stunned his little friends.

Not only the physical strength and endurance shown before, but also strength, agility... All physical qualities are outstanding, so good that it makes people dumbfounded.

Even learning grappling and wrestling with the hunting team, the appearance is the same every day, and he learns extremely quickly. Within a few days, he climbed from the bottom to the top group of people.

"Have you taken your medicine?" Aubrey was still unable to accept the reality from the huge drop after being thrown to the ground by Ash again. He got up and lifted Ash's shirt with lightning speed, revealing Fair belly.The body that was not worth seeing in the past now has a thin layer of muscle contours, and the lines are very beautifully exercised.

Aubrey looked sad and angry: "Have you taken the medicine? Did Master Rachel give you the transformation potion as a birthday present when he left?"

Ash shook his head, this is the result of a summer of continuous training.

Before Ash could answer, Aubrey gasped again: "No way!"

what won't?

Ashe was wondering, Aubrey quickly came over and compared the heads of the two with his hands. He couldn't believe it: "Ash, you are almost as tall as me? When did you grow it secretly!"

Huh?Yeah?

Ash realized it later, and looked down at the trousers he was wearing. The hem of the trousers was a lot shorter recently, but because it was just autumn and the weather was not too cold, he didn't care too much.

It turned out to be taller.

"You boy! You must have taken medicine!" Aubrey was angry.

"Aubrey!" Shanna brought them some snacks, and just happened to see him pestering Ash again, dumbfounding, "Why are you making such a fuss? Shouldn't Ash be better than you?"

Aubrey let go of Ash, jumped to Shanna's side, patted his strong chest, and pointed to Ash's still thin figure, with a depressed expression on his face: "Shaanna, be fair, I can't beat him, this Does it make sense?"

Shanna: "..." Yes, it makes no sense.

"So, my suspicion is very reasonable!" Aubrey plausibly said.

Shanna rolled her eyes in an unladylike way, picked up a piece of snack and stuffed her boyfriend's childish mouth, and then waved to Ash: "Ash, the village chief is looking for you. He's at Uncle Derek's house."

Ash let out an "oh" and ran towards the entrance of the village.

Shaanna shouted behind him, "Have a snack first before going over!", Ash only quickly raised his hand to signal no need, and then his figure quickly disappeared among the houses.

Running in the wind, Ash habitually touched the leaf marks hidden under his sleeves.

Although Aubrey was joking about taking the medicine one bite at a time, Ash had always had a vague feeling that this imprint might be that medicine.

He grew taller and stronger, Uncle Derek said, the reason why he entered the growth period and continued to train.

But his strength, agility, physical strength... These qualities multiplied at a speed beyond common sense, but they were not just brought about by simple growth and exercise.

The astonishing and eye-catching changes may all be given to him by this mark.

It was... the strength that the young man lent him.
