He said that he was going straight to Nibi City, but before he left, he still went to a place in Tokiwa City.
At the Changpan Dojo.
The Joban Dojo was located near the city center. Although Joban City was not a modern metropolis with rows upon rows of skyscrapers, the city center was still bustling with people. People walked around in many department stores, and couples could be seen sitting down to eat delicacies in the shops along the streets from time to time. In the midst of this bustling scene, an abandoned building suddenly appeared in the center of the downtown area.
The Tokiwa Dojo stood there like a half-finished building. The mottled walls were covered with vines. When Mitsuke came to the front of the Tokiwa Dojo, he looked at the rusted iron gate and had no intention of going in.
"Young man, are you a trainer?”
Just as Yulong Jie was standing in front of the dojo, thinking about something, he heard the voice of an old lady beside him. He turned his head and saw an old lady standing beside him with a kind smile on her face.
"Yes, I am indeed a trainer.”
Yulong Jie nodded lightly.
"That's right. If you want to challenge the dojo, then you might have come to the wrong place. This Changpan Dojo has not had an owner for five years.”
The old lady spoke a little slowly. Respecting the old and loving the young had always been a good character of the Imperial Dragon Record, so he just smiled and listened quietly.
"Five years without a master? Didn't the Alliance send a new dojo trainer?”
Yulong Jie asked curiously.
" Yes, there was, but the citizens of Joban City were not willing. The trainers who came here to become the dojo's owner all left. The previous owner was called Sakaki. He was an outstanding trainer and had been the dojo's owner for many years. It was also because of him that all the citizens of Joban City were unwilling to accept a new dojo's owner.”
"Oh? Why?"
" Sakaki is a very warm-hearted person. Every year, he will give out all kinds of snacks and sweets to the children here. Every year, he will donate a large sum of money to charity. Many roads in Tokubi City are repaired by him. He was born in Tokubi City and has made many contributions to Tokubi City over the years. Everyone respects him very much…I heard that Sakaki is known as the 'strongest dojo trainer.' After he went missing five years ago, no one thought that anything would happen to him. That's why this dojo has never had an owner. Everyone is waiting for him to come back. Look over there…"
The old lady's tone was filled with emotion. She raised her finger with great effort and pointed at a huge building that looked like a football field in the distance. She said slowly," Five years ago, every time we went to the dojo for a competition, it was always packed. The citizens of Tokugawa City went there to cheer for Sakaki and watched him fight against all the trainers who came to challenge him. He had never lost. However, since his disappearance, Tokugawa City has never had such a lively event. Sigh, let's not talk about it anymore. It's all in the past.”
The old lady shook her head, sighed, and left unsteadily. She didn't know if it was because she saw a young man who made her feel lonely that she wanted to nag him.
" I didn't expect Sakaki to have such prestige in Tokubi City. But it makes sense. If we ignore what he has done, he must be a charming uncle to be able to become the boss behind the Rockets.”
Observing the old lady's departure, Mirai Suke took one last look at the abandoned Tokiwa Dojo before leaving for the train station.
——
The speed of the maglev train could reach 500 kilometers per hour. As a technological achievement that did not cause pollution, the maglev train was the most important means of transportation between cities in other areas. Orayusuke came to the station in Tokiwa City and bought a free seat ticket to go directly to Nibi City.
Nibi City was located to the north of Tokiwa City. Between the two cities was a forest of Tokiwa that had been opened up by humans. The distance between the two cities was not particularly far. It only took half an hour by maglev train for Yulong Jie to arrive at Nibi City from Tokiwa City.
From the crowded station to the taxi stop, he directly took a taxi to the city's elven center. The cars here were all powered by electricity and completely abandoned oil.
Nebi City was built in the rugged mountains, and could be considered a mountain city. It was surrounded by the Eternal Forest and the Moonrise Mountain. The entire city was not as prosperous as the Golden City and Rainbow City in the plains. The overall architectural style was rough and angular. This city had always been famous for mining various ores and was the raw material source of many ores. Due to the mysterious existence of the elves, even the formation of ores was far faster than imagined. Most of the people in this city relied on the mining industry to make a living.
The taxi drove quickly through the city. Yulong Jie sat in the back of the car and listened to the driver's rambling. The people in this city and the surrounding areas were very generous and hospitable. Yulong Jie didn't say anything and listened to the uncle introduce many scenic spots in Nibi City.
However, this uncle talked about the dojo trainer Xiao Gang of Nibi City the most. Even a foreigner like Yulong Jie could easily hear the pride in his tone.
There were all kinds of professions in this world. Singers, actors, models, and so on were everywhere. The dojo trainers in every city could be said to be the symbol and pride of that city. They also symbolized the highest power in the city. It was not an exaggeration to say that they were the national idols of a city. It could even be said that in this world that worshipped elves, every powerful trainer was an idol star in the hearts of ordinary people.
After listening to the uncle's nagging along the way, Yulong Suke finally arrived at the elven center. He found the 'elven transmission system' that was based on the technology of an ancient civilization ruin and perfected by an elven commentator named Masaaki. He sent all the useless elves he had captured to Dr. Oki.
This teleportation system was indeed very convenient. The only thing that made Yulong Jie depressed was that it actually cost money to use it!
As the standard elven center in every city, this was not a small building. On the contrary, elven centers were usually high-rise buildings like luxury hotels. The first floor was where the most important elven recovery machines were located. In this hall, many medical staff and trainers could be seen waiting for elven treatment and recovery. A few floors above were intensive care wards for seriously ill people or elderly elves. Above the ICU was a hotel. If a trainer stayed here, the accommodation fee would be greatly discounted.
"So, I'm not a trainer now and you can't give me a discount? What exactly was a trainer?”
At the front desk of the sprite center, Yulong Jie was arguing with the smiling young lady who was serving him. From time to time, he would knock on the table in front of him.
Was there a certification for a trainer? Why didn't he know that he had to get a trainer's license first, just like how he did for the driving test?
The receptionist, who had maintained her professional smile, was not angry. She could tell that Yulong Jie was probably a rookie trainer, so she patiently explained,"... If you want to become a certified trainer, you just need to get a dojo badge.”
Yulong Jie rolled his eyes when he heard the front desk lady's words. It seemed that he had come to the wrong place.
Forget it, he would just find a hotel nearest to the dojo and go to the challenge dojo tomorrow morning. No matter what, the trainers in this world were considered a privileged class. With this identity, it would be much more convenient to do many things. Moreover, Yulong Jie, like all the trainers, had to participate in the Alliance Conference, so challenging the dojo was something he had to do.
