Chapter 1407
Tom's Special Milk, everyone who's tried it says it's amazing!
At TPC, it's a novelty that Choi Ming can joke around.
Of course, for most of the team members, this was terrifying.
That guy usually has a stern face, like someone owes him eight million, but when he suddenly grinned, the first reaction of the Victory Team wasn't "the instructor is in a good mood," but rather "oh no, is another monster coming?"
However, the real trouble Adam and Ew are facing now is Spike, that big dog.
Spike will help you with special training!
Plus Tom and Jerry together!
hiss!
This is so refreshing!
Anyway, everyone on the winning team felt it.
Apart from Captain Megumi Kijima.
After all, Megumi is Choi Myung's wife, so Choi Myung can focus on training her normally.
In short, things have been quite lively for the Victory team lately.
Everyone who was trained was quite energetic.
Don't ask why it's energetic.
Tom somehow managed to make a bowl of milk, and after drinking it, the person who drank it would grab their neck and yell, and then be full of energy!
"vomit--!!!"
Xincheng was the first to be infected. He almost popped his eyes out while holding the bowl, his face turned bright red, and he made a sound like a steam train whistle coming from his throat.
"He's alive! He's alive!!!"
After shouting this, he jumped three feet high on the spot, and then sprinted towards the training field at the speed of a hundred meters, taking off his jacket as he ran, as if there were ten Gakuzot chasing him.
"What the hell is this thing?!"
Horii's hands trembled as he held the bowl, glancing at the milky-white liquid inside that glowed with an eerie blue light, then at Tom beside him who looked completely innocent.
The blue cat was washing its face with its paws, its tail held high, humming a tuneless little melody, as if the bowl of biological weapon had nothing to do with it.
“Go ahead and drink it, Jerry said it’s fine.”
“Jerry said that?!”
Horii's voice cracked as he turned to look at the little mouse doing push-ups in the corner.
Jerry didn't even look up, his front paws on the ground, his hind paws dangling in the air, a straw between his teeth, and he mumbled a "squeak."
“It says no problem!” Cui Ming translated without changing his expression.
Actually, Cui Ming knew that Tom and Jerry could talk, but since they didn't want to, he let them stay silent. After all, they were cat and mouse.
"."
Horii glanced at Shinjo, who had already disappeared, then at the bubbling unidentified liquid in the bowl, and finally turned his gaze to Adam and Ima.
The two dinosaur-men sat upright, with identical bowls in front of them, their faces green.
"The physique of a dinosaur human should be able to withstand it, right?" Horii tried to find some psychological comfort.
"You have to endure it even if you can't." Cui Ming crunched the protein bar. "The TPC's special training standard is to finish this bowl, run fifty kilometers, and then fight Spike in close combat. Only those who pass are officially enlisted."
"Fifty kilometers?!" Adam's tail nearly knocked the chair away.
"Fight Spike?!" Yi Wu's claws dug five marks into the table.
Heavy footsteps sounded at the door, and Spike's huge head poked in, a steel pipe he'd somehow taken from his mouth dangling from his mouth, his large, bell-like eyes gleaming with the excitement of "finally, a new sandbag."
"Hey! You little guys!" Spike spat the steel pipe onto the ground and spoke in a deep, gruff voice, like sandpaper grinding against a steel plate. "Ready for my loving discipline? Last time, that kid named Daigo was chased around the training field thirty times by me, and in the end, he was lying on the ground begging for his mom!"
"Woof—Pah, I misspoke." Spike cleared his throat, stood up on his hind legs, put his front paws on his hips, and struck a pose like a big shot. "I'm now a TPC specially appointed instructor! Understand? Specially appointed! Director Sawai personally stamped my approval!"
Adam and Iwu both swallowed hard.
"Drink it." Cui Ming raised his chin. "You don't have to drink it. Just fight Spike for three rounds. If you don't die, you've passed."
"."
Two bowls of milk, glowing with a blue light, were brought up.
Adam took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and poured it in!
Yi Wu followed suit, pinching her nose and falling down.
"vomit--!!!"
"Gah—!!!"
Two screams rang out almost simultaneously. Adam jumped up on the spot, his head almost hitting the ceiling, while Yiwu spun around three times with her neck in her hand, her tail crackling as it whipped the air.
Then, just like Shinjo earlier, the two of them turned bloodshot, their veins bulging, and they entered a berserk state at a visible speed.
"Cool!!!"
Adam punched the wall, creating a dent in the reinforced concrete.
Come on!!!
Yiwu beckoned to Spike with her finger, her claws making a cracking sound.
Spike's eyes lit up, and he spat out the steel pipe—although he had already spat it out earlier—his front paws were on the ground, his buttocks sticking up high, and his tail was wagging wildly.
"Hey! That's more like it!" Spike roared with laughter as he charged forward, his four hooves pounding the floor. "Let me teach you what real fighting is all about! Tom! Jerry! Be my referees!"
"Meow~" Tom lazily raised his paw.
"Squeak!" Jerry jumped onto the table and pulled out a small flag from somewhere, waving it around.
A dog and two dinosaur-like men rushed out of the training room in an instant, and the corridor was filled with the sounds of fighting, interspersed with Spike's excited roars.
"Left side! Left side is open! Shoot!"
"Hey! You dare bite my tail?! I'll bite it back!"
"Woof woof—this move is called a Spike-style over-the-shoulder throw! Remember to pay your tuition!"
Cui Ming nodded in satisfaction and popped the last bite of the protein bar into his mouth. "Good results, Tom. Write down the recipe and share it with the entire Victory Team next time."
"Meow~" Tom made an OK sign, pulled a small notebook out of his pocket, and began to write furiously.
Jerry finished his push-ups, jumped onto the table, grabbed a peanut and started munching on it, while also offering Tom some suggestions for revising his notebook.
"Squeak, squeak."
"It says the sugar content could be increased, but the aftereffects are a bit short," Cui Ming continued translating.
"Meow."
"It said it would try the chocolate flavor next time."
"."
Horii stood there, holding the bowl of strange milk that had gone completely cold, feeling like a normal person who had mistakenly entered a mental hospital.
"Instructor, is this really okay? I mean, from a medical perspective?"
"From a medical perspective?" Cui Ming glanced at him. "In TPC, medical perspectives have to give way to practical perspectives. Last time with Gakuzot, if New City had run five kilometers more, would he have been chased all over the streets?"
"The vehicle is out of fuel!"
"Running out of fuel in your vehicle means certain death?" Cui Ming sneered. "In EDF, if our vehicle explodes, we keep fighting on foot. We run until our lungs bleed, we run until our legs break, we crawl. Your Victory Team is in a much better position now, with Ultraman as a backup, TPC equipment, and me—"
He pointed to himself.
"Don't ruin yourself."
Horii opened his mouth, but swallowed his rebuttal.
After all, the person in front of him was a ruthless individual who had actually chased monsters on foot.
"Alright, you drink a bowl too. We'll have extra training today." Cui Ming carefully tossed the empty protein bar packaging into the trash can. "I'll talk to Hui about this when I get back tonight. Don't even think about slacking off."
"Captain She"
“She was reviewing documents until 3 a.m. last night, so I let her go to sleep.” Cui Ming’s tone softened for a moment, though the change was so quick it seemed like an illusion. “She’s off today, so I’ll keep an eye on things for her.”
Horii paused for a moment, then silently picked up the bowl.
So it turns out that instructors can be caring too.
Although the way of expressing it is still so hardcore.
"vomit--!!!"
Another howl echoed throughout the TPC training building.
Outside the window, Adam was being pounded to the ground and humiliated by Spike, who was yelling as he hit him, "Call me 'Big Brother'! Call me 'Big Brother' and I'll let you go!"
Yiwu attempted to ambush him from behind, but Spike swept her away with his tail, sending her flying into the bushes.
"A sneak attack from behind? I'm not falling for that anymore!" Spike said smugly, hands on his hips, when Adam grabbed him by the waist. "Hey! Cheating! Tom! That's foul!"
"Meow." Tom didn't even look up, just drew a circle in his notebook. "The game continues."
“Jerry said it!” Spike roared.
"Squeak." Jerry munched on a peanut and waved his little flag.
"They said the dinosaur-men were more resilient than expected." Cui Ming finished translating and turned to leave. "I'm going to check if those kids have finished their 50-kilometer run. You guys continue."
Horii lay on the windowsill, feeling the fire burning in his stomach, his legs wanting to thrust uncontrollably.
These days are getting better and better, and there's more and more hope for us.
I wonder if Tom will be able to cook strawberry flavored ones tomorrow.
Or mint flavor?
Oh well, it doesn't matter what it tastes like, since we'll all have to yell at each other after we finish drinking it anyway.
"vomit--!!!"
Another sound.
This time it's Lina.
Throughout the TPC training area, howls rose and fell in waves, mingling with Spike's excited barking and cursing commands, creating a bizarre and vibrant scene.
Megumi was woken up in her office by the noise. She rubbed her eyes, pulled back the curtains, and glanced down.
Spike was riding on Adam's back, shouting "Giddy up! Giddy up!" while Tom and Jerry placed bets nearby.
Then, without any expression, Megumi pulled him back and went back to sleep.
got used to.
Anyway, she had experienced her husband's methods of training people a long time ago.
Back when Tom and Jerry weren't around yet, Trevor could train EDF recruits to the point of tears and screams with just a protein bar and a deadpan expression.
The addition of those magical creatures is simply an upgrade.
Go to sleep.
I still have to go home and cook for him tonight.
Although just thinking about that guy's appetite gives me a headache.
Megumi turned over, but the corners of her mouth curved into a smile.
It's good if it's lively.
It's better than being alone in an empty house. (End of Chapter)
