Chapter 207 Yukino was also awake, and they walked together in the woods.
The test of courage is the highlight of the camping trip! At least that's what Uchiha Ryo thinks.
So Shizuka Hiratsuka took this event very seriously. She even went so far as to have everyone use special makeup techniques or visual effects to make the monster costumes we used for decorations look more realistic.
Because elementary school students these days are actually quite smart. They know perfectly well that the people at the courage test are mostly upperclassmen dressed as ghosts, so there's nothing to be afraid of.
But now, those naughty children need to show awe for the terrifying nature, so Uchiha Ryo has taken extensive measures in terms of the environment alone.
On a forest path late at night, a Bluetooth-connected speaker plays somber music. The trembling of the trees sounds like the groans of the deceased, and the whistling breeze feels like the dead caressing their cheeks.
The group had already scouted the venue for the test of courage competition and finalized their plans for the evening. After confirming the entire route, Shirogane Miyuki placed the pre-drawn talismans at the temporary shrine at the finish line.
The elementary school students come here to obtain the talisman, which means they have completed their task.
However, to prevent them from getting lost in the chaos, Uchiha Ryo also had to check for any dangerous areas.
Yukinoshita: "Regarding going to America, what are your plans? Will you use a fake ghost to scare them, making them feel like 'we're in the same boat,' and increase their goodwill by sharing hardships?"
Uchiha Ryo smiled. "No, I plan to make Rumi the villain who pretends to be a ghost."
Yukino frowned. "Aren't you just making the other students hate studying in America even more?"
"As long as no one recognizes us, leave this to me. Wouldn't it be better to let Rumi play the villain and scare them a bit? Maybe it will make the child more cheerful."
Yukinoshita: "...A perverse sense of humor."
Call it a perverse sense of humor or just for fun.
Ask yourself honestly, if you were often ostracized, isolated, or even verbally abused by your classmates, and you were given the chance to be the bad guy and get revenge, would you do it?
Of course, this prank posed no danger to their lives, and they didn't even know it was you who did it.
Uchiha Ryo doesn't know how many saints or virtuous people there are in this world, but he will definitely choose: YES!
Honestly, if I let him return to the ninja world now, I estimate he would immediately declare war on Konoha and the Third Hokage's faction. You won't tolerate the Uchiha clan? Then don't blame me for turning the tables and not tolerating you.
Just like the current class of students going to the US, apart from Xiaohua, Hinata, and Noa, almost no one will take the initiative to greet the students going to the US.
From the other person's perspective, Rumi is indeed too aloof and withdrawn, even refusing invitations from Shirasaki and the others.
But... Uchiha Ryo didn't care about any of that. Why should I stand on the other side's perspective? He wasn't some filial son who could be brainwashed by some Will of Fire.
Itachi Uchiha viewed his clan from the village's perspective, seeing them as a cancer on Konoha. But did he ever consider things from the perspective of the Uchiha clan head, wondering why the Uchiha, who risked their lives for the village, didn't receive the rights they deserved?
That's a bit of a tangent, but let's focus on the present! Mutual respect among students is essential for a better future. If you can't respect me, why should I respect you?
.....
The test of courage and the bonfire party were held as scheduled. Uchiha Ryo found Tsurumi Rumi and hoped to help her become the scary one in the test of courage.
As expected, Tsurumi Rumi initially refused, but Uchiha Ryo assured her that she wouldn't be exposed and that she could freely scare those who had previously disliked her.
Rumi Tsurumi fell silent... After all, she was just a sixth-grade elementary school student.
On the way to the test of courage, Xiao Liumei, dressed in a white robe that covered her entire body, could hear her classmates talking loudly from time to time.
They were talking and laughing loudly, complaining that the courage test was too shabby and not as good as the haunted house in the amusement park, while also saying that it was boring and not scary at all.
[Ready to study in the US?]
Uchiha Ryo's voice came through the microphone.
Liu Mei nodded, then turned on the pre-prepared speakers.
A rustling sound came from the dark, deep forest, and the group of elementary school students instantly fell silent, murmuring softly.
What was that sound?
"There seems to be something there, but there's definitely nothing there..."
The most terrifying things are always the unknown and the dark. Humans have had a fear of the dark since primitive times. This fear ranges from the few times we walk home at night to astronauts exploring the dark universe.
This unknown seclusion and helpless gaze constantly breed fear in my heart; this fear of the dark is an instinct ingrained since the dawn of humanity.
Of course, it's possible that a small minority of people prefer darkness; for example, Little Lonely quite likes to stay in dark places...
The moonlight was inexplicably blocked because Uchiha Ryo used his ability to overwrite reality to draw in a persistent dark cloud.
It's summer now, but the forest nights are cool.
The elementary school students could only see the road by the faint starlight. After rounding a bend, a white figure appeared ahead, none other than Tsurumi Rumi in a white robe.
"Ugh... Ah!! There really is a ghost! Run!"
Looking at her classmates who had been scared away, Tsurumi Rumi smiled for no apparent reason.
[The next wave is here, it's Xiaohua and her friends.]
Rumi overheard Uchiha Ryo's communication, nodded, and then hid. Shirasaki Hana and the others were the only remaining people at school who didn't reject her but instead invited her out.
So... there's no need to scare them.
Even though they weren't going out to scare people, Hana still clung tightly to Noa and Hinata. What can you do? She's naturally a scaredy-cat.
The test of courage finally ended when the last group of elementary school students safely returned to the backyard...
Next, as the campfire died down, all the activities for the evening came to an end. Yukino saw Tsurumi Rumi's genuine smile, and it seemed that releasing the pressure did indeed make her feel more relaxed.
As night fell, Uchiha Ryo sat in his room. Shirogane Miyuki wasn't playing games today and had gone to bed early again.
"Yanyun, playing games again? Take a break and go to sleep."
Yanyunjiang: "Don't speak! I can turn the tables!"
A moment later, a look of anger appeared on the white cat's face. "Hmph! You're dead! It's all your fault!"
The Sharingan in Uchiha Ryo's pupils rotated—
Yanyun-chan: "Master, no... I'm going to sleep! I'm going to sleep now!"
Uchiha Ryo smiled, stood up, and looked out the window. At that moment, a beautiful figure appeared among the trees. The moonlight shone softly on the girl's face. Yukinoshita stood in the forest, seemingly lost in thought.
Seeing the snow outside, Uchiha Rin changed her clothes and went downstairs. The night in the woods was quiet and cool, and under the soft moonlight, the girl's snow-white skin glowed.
A gentle breeze ruffled her long hair as the fairy-like girl, bathed in moonlight, softly sang a song. Uchiha Ryo couldn't discern the song's origin, but its delicate voice sounded exceptionally melodious.
Yukino caught a glimpse of Uchiha Rin walking over out of the corner of her eye, and that's when she stopped humming.
Yukinoshita: "Why did you come down?"
Uchiha Ryo stepped forward. "Yukino is also awake. Why don't we take a walk in the woods together?"
