Although no one knew what this Rocket Elite was up to, seeing him fly a long distance away in the blink of an eye, some of the Rocket players on the beach immediately released their flying mounts to keep up with him.
The Rocket players who were able to enter the second stage of the competition were naturally very strong. Except for a few who were severely biased, they all had a variety of flying mounts.
For a moment, a long line of flying mounts appeared in the sky.
Of course, in the Kanto region, out of ten Rocket players, seven or eight of them had flying mounts, such as Bibi Birds or Largemouth Sparrows.
Kaede Sato was the only one in the long line of flying mounts, and he was at the front of the line. Naturally, he attracted a lot of attention.
However, Kaede Sato, who was the center of attention, acted as if nothing had happened. He put on his goggles and silently commanded the Cross Symbol Bat to follow the Rocket Squad's elite man who was riding a Quasi-Heavenly King-tier Eagle.
In the beginning, the Bibi Bird under the Rocket Elite wasn't particularly fast. Kaede Sato and the others with flying mounts were able to keep up.
But gradually, as time passed, the Bibi Bird under the Rocket Elite began to speed up. The line of flying mounts, which was originally relatively close to each other, began to grow longer and longer, and the gap between the members also grew wider and wider.
At present, apart from Kaede Sato, who had a Bibi Bat, there were only a few Rocket players who could keep up with the Rocket Elite on their Bibi Birds.
Without a doubt, Kaede Sato and the others were the fastest in the line of flying mounts. Most of the rest of the Rocket players could only follow them from a distance.
Kaede Sato faced the strong wind and turned his head to look behind him. He found that there were only a dozen people within a radius of three to four hundred meters. The Rocket players behind him had already become small black dots.
"Is he taking us somewhere else? It's just that the Bibi Bird under him is getting faster and faster. I'm afraid some of the people behind us won't be able to keep up. Sure enough, the competition has already begun. This might be the first test."
Seeing this situation, Kaede Sato couldn't help but secretly ponder the intentions of the Rocket Elite who had been silent ever since he said those words on the beach. He then came to this conclusion.
Now, Kaede Sato was secretly praising his good luck. He was very glad that his Big Mouth Bat had successfully evolved into a Cross Symbol Bat, which was one of the best flying mounts in terms of flying speed and endurance.
Otherwise, Kaede Sato would have been left far behind by the elite men of the Rocket Team if he relied on the speed and endurance of the Big Mouth Bats. Now, he was at the end of the long line in the sky, and could not even keep up with the main group.
If he couldn't keep up with the rest of the team, he would naturally be eliminated because he couldn't find the real rendezvous point. If Kaede Sato's guess was correct, there were already people in the line behind him that had started to fall behind.
He had counted carefully on the beach. This time, there were a total of 100 members of the Rocket Team gathered on the beach. However, if the elite man of the Rocket Team leading the flight in front continued to speed up the Flying Eagle.
Apart from Kaede Sato and the other Rocket players who were in the first echelon of the line, who could steadily keep up with the Rocket Elite, only the people in the second echelon of the line could barely keep up.
As a result, at least half of the 100 people would be eliminated at the beginning of the competition.
Fortunately, the Rocket Elite didn't intend to eliminate half of the people at the beginning of the competition. After he found that the number of people behind him was a little low, he began to deliberately slow down the speed of his Bibi Bird.
Of course, this speed was already very fast for the people in the second and last echelon of the line. If they didn't go all out, it was very likely that they would be left behind by the rest of the team.
However, although their flying speed didn't continue to increase and instead decreased, Kaede Sato and the other contestants began to face a new problem, and that was the endurance of their flying mounts.
From the beginning of the competition until now, Kaede Sato and the other contestants had been flying in the air for more than an hour with the Rocket Elite leading the team. They had already flown more than a few hundred kilometers.
After flying at high speed for more than an hour, even a large flying mount would start to feel tired, let alone a small flying mount like the Bibi Bird and the Blazing Sparrow that had yet to evolve into their final forms.
At this time, Kaede Sato found that the number of Rocket players behind him had decreased by more than half again.
This difficult battle continued for more than ten minutes. Seeing that the sky was beginning to darken, Kaede Sato found that his Cross-lettered Bat's speed had begun to decrease due to the lack of stamina.
The elite member of the Rocket Squad, who was already quite a distance away from him, finally began to command his Eagle to descend rapidly, and then landed on a small isolated island on the sea.
"Phew ~ ~, we can finally stop."
Seeing that the Rocket Elite leading the team had finally decided to stop, Kaede Sato immediately let out a sigh of relief. He quickly commanded the Wisp to descend from the sky along with the other Rocket players with Bibi Bird.
"Wait here for half an hour."
The Rocket Elite leading the team was still cold and taciturn. When he saw that Kaede Sato and the other contestants who were barely able to keep up with him had landed on the island with him, he began to look for a place to rest. He had no intention of explaining anything to Kaede Sato and the others.
Kaede Sato and the others were also exhausted. When they saw the cold attitude of the Rocket Elite leading the team, they realized that this long-distance flight was a test for them.
In order to recover their stamina as soon as possible, they naturally found a place to rest. After all, no one knew when their next rest would be.
As the Rocket Elite leading the team stopped on the island, the rest of the Rocket players who were at the end of the first echelon and the middle of the second echelon also landed on the island one after another.
However, this situation only lasted for a few minutes before it disappeared. After that, not a single member of the Rocket Squad landed on the island from the completely dark night sky.
Kaede Sato, who was resting on a coconut tree, counted carefully. Other than the non-contestant Rocket Elite leading the team, there were only 58 people left on the island.
After this long-distance flight test, 42 contestants were eliminated in advance. The elimination rate was as high as 40%.
With such a high elimination rate, many of the contestants who were barely able to keep up felt a deep sense of crisis. The atmosphere on the beach was very gloomy.
Kaede Sato did not have the time to care about other people's affairs. Although he was one of the few people who kept up with the Rocket Elite leading the team, his current situation was a bit bad.
His entire shoulder was sore. Without any special flying equipment, the Cross-symbol Bat had been using its legs to hold on to his shoulder to fly.
This method of carrying people was fine for a short period of time. However, after a long time, even if the Cross-symbol Bat's legs could hold on, Kaede Sato's shoulders were beginning to be unable to withstand the constant pull of gravity.
"This lesson taught me that I must create a set of flying equipment that will make it easier for the Cross-symbol Bat to carry people." Kaede Sato rubbed some good ointment on his severely swollen shoulders and gritted his teeth.
"You really came, Kaede Sato. I knew you would definitely not miss this rookie competition. Speaking of which, where have you been for the past month? I haven't seen you at the base. "
When Kaede Sato finished rubbing the medicine and was about to release a beautiful flower to speed up his recovery, a pleasant voice suddenly appeared behind Kaede Sato.
