Chapter 2898 Trainer
Originally, they came to visit magical animals, but they met Duran and were indoctrinated with a set of great blueprints for trainers.
The prince, Uncle Wang, and Jie were confused, but when they heard Duran talking about the past and the future, he spoke clearly, saying that the bright age, the dark age, and the balanced age were all things that had never been recorded in history. It sounded unreal, but there was no problem with logic.
Duran looked at the different expressions of the three people and waited with a smile.
"Does being a trainer include food and accommodation?" Jie asked a very realistic question, that is, the issue of eating. Although he and the prince are now doing odd jobs in the teahouse, it is mainly because of Uncle Wang's face. They are completely incidental, and they don't have enough food but have a lot of work. He wants to change to a job that can eat enough.
"Of course I can eat enough." Duran said, "And now I am training, and I will be able to join the battle soon. You also know that the siege of Yonggu City by the Fire Nation is about to begin. When the time comes, we can also join the war, fight against the invaders, and make achievements. Isn't it great?"
"I used to be a guerrilla in my hometown, and I wanted to attack the village of the Fire Nation, but I was stopped later. They said that I shouldn't attack the village of civilians, so I came to Yonggu City to find a target. Is becoming a trainer my goal?" Jie said to himself.
The prince and the uncle also knew that Jie hated the Fire Nation very much and knew that he had a grudge against the Fire Nation, so their expressions were a little awkward now. However, they also felt that they should not implicate the people of the Fire Nation, even if they occupied Jie's hometown.
"If you had magical animals, you would have completed the attack long ago, and you would have eaten all the invaders of the Fire Nation long ago." Duran said.
"Don't you think it's wrong to attack the civilians of the Fire Nation?" Jie asked. He has been doubting himself during this period. After all, he was confronted by the magical power and the girl he liked, and he directly doubted his life.
"Because they are enemies, what's wrong with that? When the invaders from the Fire Nation kill people, do they consider whether the other party is a civilian or a soldier?"
Jay said: "But it is precisely because the Fire Nation does not distinguish, so if we do not distinguish, then we are the same as the invaders."
"Because the bad guys did bad things, can't the good guys retaliate in the same way? This is obviously the inversion of cause and effect. Besides, if the invaders stayed in the Fire Nation, would you rush to kill them? They don't stay in their own country, but play some civilian games on the land of the Earth Kingdom. It is normal for them to be killed." Duran said seriously. In the Fire Nation, he is a loyal minister, and in the Earth Kingdom, he is a righteous man, that is to say, he cares about others.
Jay thought it was right, but he couldn't help but say, "But others won't think so. They will think about protecting civilians, whether they are from the Fire Nation or the Earth Kingdom, they want to protect them."
"People like this are just sick. Why didn't they show up when Earth Kingdom civilians died? Besides, the Fire Nation doesn't care about its own people, so why should we? The Fire Nation sent them here knowing that they would be consumables, and they can't be treated as human beings at all."
The more Jay listened, the more he felt it made sense.
The prince couldn't listen any longer and couldn't help but say, "The civilians of the Fire Nation are innocent. They were just sent to the wrong place by the wrong decision."
"What did the people of the Earth Nation do wrong? They died without even making a decision, and my parents were killed!" Jie glared at the prince, obviously disagreeing with the prince's frivolous statement: "The people of the Fire Nation have a reason to die, but the people of the Earth Nation have no reason to die. Is it because they hindered the expansion of the Fire Nation?!"
The prince didn't say anything. He only considered the difficulties of the people of the Fire Nation, but didn't think that the dead in the Earth Nation were more aggrieved.
Uncle Wang said nothing. He knew very well that the Fire Nation launched the expansion because there were contradictions within the Fire Nation, and he could only transfer the contradictions, so the Earth Nation suffered. But the contradictions of the Fire Nation were not actually resolved, but only postponed, so the people of the Fire Nation are also suffering now. Of course, the people of the Fire Nation at the beginning of the expansion must be the beneficiaries.
So expansion cannot solve the problem. Uncle Wang also spent a lot of time to realize this problem. After realizing it, he changed from a pro-war faction to a pro-peace faction. But the losses caused in this process are unavoidable. What Uncle Wang can do is to find a way to end the expansion and let the Fire Nation face the contradictions.
Uncle Wang never regrets that he advocated war in the past. No one in this world can only do the right things and not the wrong things, not even the magical powers, let alone others. The important thing is to know the mistakes and correct them. After realizing the mistakes, make improvements immediately. This is the most important thing.
The prince was speechless. Jie felt that Duran was someone who understood him more and more, so he decided to stay and become a trainer. He really wanted revenge. If he didn't take revenge, he would have no goal in life. "I want to be a trainer!" He decided.
Duran said, "Very good, then start doing 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats and run 10 kilometers every day. If you want to be a trainer, you must first strengthen your body, and when you can knock down the beast with one punch, you will be a master."
"???" Uncle Wang couldn't help but say, "If the trainer can knock down the beast with one punch, what is the use of the beast?"
"If the beast can't be knocked down, why should the beast listen to the trainer's orders?" Duran asked back.
Uncle Wang and Duran looked at each other, and obviously felt that their questions were reasonable.
The prince and Jie were confused. They felt that Uncle Wang's question made more sense. Let's not talk about whether people can be trained to the level of divine beasts. If people can really fight to this level, then there is really no need for divine beasts.
But what Duran said also makes sense. If there is no strength to subdue the divine beast, how can the unruly divine beast obey orders?
So isn't this a contradiction? Because there is no strength, we hope to rely on the power of the divine beast. But to rely on the power of the divine beast, we must first surpass the divine beast. But if we surpass the divine beast, why do we still need the divine beast?
"In short, we must train our bodies first." Duran said.
Jie had no choice but to train first, thinking that if he could surpass the divine beast, then he could train the divine beast at that time, which would double the combat power and allow him to take revenge better.
Uncle Wang said: "My nephew also wants to be a trainer."
The prince said that I didn't, I wasn't. But Uncle Wang gave him a look, indicating that the eldest nephew should stay here to investigate the situation. Uncle Wang was already suspicious, so he needed to investigate.
The prince had no choice but to sneak in to investigate, saying, "I also want to be a trainer."
"Very good, young people should have a long-term vision, then accept my training, I guarantee you can have a bright future." Duran said happily.
Next, Duran conducted strict training for the two, and the training was definitely effective. The combat effectiveness of both of them increased sharply. Then they were arranged to fight with magical animals to force out their potential. The whole process was very hard, but they did feel that they were getting stronger.
It was just difficult for the prince, because every time he was attacked, he had to restrain his instinct to use the art of bending. He knew that once he used the art of bending, he would be exposed and his identity as a member of the Fire Nation would be known, so he had to control himself. Now they were in the enemy camp, and if they were exposed, they would definitely die miserably.
The art of bending was like a habit of writing with the right hand. It was used naturally in dangerous times, and it took great determination to restrain it. Fortunately, the prince was not lacking in determination.
