Chapter 96 From "Beyond the Horizon" to Beyond the Horizon (12) (5600)

Inside the classroom that serves as a temporary stage.

Robert, played by Philio, looked at the audience thoughtfully: "So I often cross the fields and look at the hills over there——"

He gently raised his hand and pointed to the horizon.

"After a while, I forgot about the pain in my body and started to dream."

"I know there is an ocean behind those hills - many people have told me."

"I often wonder what the sea looks like, and I want to form a picture of the sea in my mind."

Speaking of this, Philio showed a longing smile.

"At that time, in my opinion, the distant sea was full of wonders, and it is still the same now: it was calling me then, just as it calls me now, and it has never changed."

He paused for a moment, his eyes becoming deep and distant.

"Sometimes my eyes follow the winding road to the distance and to the hills, as if that road is also looking for the sea. So I make a wish that when I grow up and become strong, I will follow

That way, follow it to find the sea."

Turning around and looking at the girl Ruth played by Ina, a warm smile once again appeared on his face.

"You see, I went out this time just to fulfill my previous promise."

......

......

"Now, do you understand, Ruth?"

Philio's eyes are full of tenderness, and his voice is low and magnetic, but there is still a passion for the distant place that is almost gushing out.

This is a young man who is full of fanatical curiosity about the infinite distance and the infinite unknown.

In the modern era when the alliance had not yet been established, it was very rare.

......

......

"Very good! Very good! That's the effect!"

After the confession, which was half monologue and half dialogue, Ina kept cheering.

"This kind of dream, for the dream of 'The End of the World', falls in front of feelings and is shattered in the reality of the future. This is the style we want. Philio, your part is really amazing! I knew you wouldn't

You’ll miss out on practice just because you’re out competing!”

The rolled-up script was tapped on the blackboard in the classroom, making a loud bang, and Ina's face glowed red.

"Well, fortunately, we have lived up to our mission. In this way, every part of our plot has been completed. The most difficult part is just here. Later, we can arrange the final 'Robert's Death'. But

The real core character is actually you, Ina, and your emotional changes are more touching than Robert's disillusionment of his dreams."

After completing a fully immersed performance, Philio gently picked up the water glass, took a sip, and communicated with Ina.

------------------

This kind of conversation has become the norm between Philio, Ina and Antoine.

From winning the youth championship to final graduation in early July, Philio can still have a pure student career for the last half month.

After returning to Salo from the reserve, he and his friends devoted themselves wholeheartedly to the rehearsal of the graduation performance "Beyond the Horizon".

This tragedy of love, society and dreams in the Age of Navigation, which he loved very much in his previous life, gradually took shape through the joint efforts of him and his two friends, and turned into a story that fits the world of Pokémon.<

/p>

In the last week, they were still carving out details bit by bit, constantly optimizing the lines, movements, expressions of each scene, and even down to a specific prop.

Little Dream Demon, Sun Eevee and Chirulian work together to provide special effects guarantee for the performance.

The junior students in the drama club are racing against time to make or order various props according to Ina's requirements.

The three six-act performances were almost completed by the three of them, but every member of the drama club was very involved and devoted themselves to the preparations in front of and behind the scenes.

During the break in rehearsals, Philio's own script has been intensively written.

From drama to film, the capacity of the text needs to be expanded, and the design of the characters also needs to be enriched. Unconsciously, the scale of this new script is several times that of the original work.

Every time he thinks of Nazi's face, Filio's inspiration is like an endless mountain spring.

------------------

"Eh?!——"

In the Sara Gym, Kerni, who was holding a mobile phone, opened her little cherry mouth wide, and her shocked voice spread far away, attracting the attention of the gym apprentices and full-time trainers.

"That's it...these damn Flame Team..."

Her brilliant golden hair hung down weakly, and Kerni looked very depressed.

"I originally thought about going to see Philio's graduation performance... It's true!"

Stomping his feet lightly, Gherkin walked out of the gym in an angry manner and rushed towards the Tower of Refining.

......

......

Not long after, the wrestling eagle rose into the sky, and its target was the Salo train station.

There is a train bound for Gumu Town that is about to leave.

In the wilderness about 200 kilometers southeast of Gumu Town, there is an alliance prison for serious criminals.

Not long ago, a serious attack on prison guards and prison escape suddenly broke out.

The top cadre of the Flames in custody, Barra, and several senior cadres escaped from prison, and Damir, who was imprisoned not long ago awaiting trial, was also among them.

He was able to rescue even a severely disabled person, which shows how bad the situation is.

For this reason, the Kalos Alliance called on the eight official gym leaders and the Four Heavenly Kings to go to Gumu Town for a meeting to discuss the subsequent arrests and the mission of destroying Team Flare.

This was a major event that affected the entire region. Kerni knew the importance very well. After informing her grandfather Cocobul, she immediately responded to the alliance's call.

......

......

"Anyway... Although it's a bit regretful, I still can't watch your performance live! You have to do your best!"

During the video call, Little Cucumber was still a little depressed, but he cheered up and clenched his little fists to cheer up Filio.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

"It doesn't matter. If you want to watch it, you can find a time and I can perform two parts with you. It's okay. When you are in Gumu Town, remember to be more careful and don't be rash. After the meeting, come back as soon as possible. In a few days

There is also a fireworks show in Tianmiare, don’t you want to see the fireworks?"

"Ah! Yes! There will be a fireworks show! I will definitely make it back! You have to go with me then~"

When I mentioned this, Little Cucumber became very excited.

If it’s a fireworks show, it’s definitely possible...

After hanging up the phone, she didn't get over the incident for a long time.

------------------

June 20, evening, small theater of Salo Academy.

Teachers and students of the college, members from various literary and art groups in Sarawak, and some specially invited guests have all taken their seats in the theater.

In the center of the front row, sitting side by side with Principal Muriel, is Nazhi, who is wearing sunglasses and has a particularly cold and awe-inspiring temperament.

There are also local reporters from Salo throughout the venue.

Although the drama club of Salo Academy was not satisfactory last year, it is still regarded as a very outstanding local theatrical performance group in Salo.

In the many years of history of the college, the literary and artistic quality of students has always been placed in a very prominent position, which is also a common feature of the Carlos region.

"Master Nazi, this is the first time we're meeting, right? It's really a great honor for my school that you can come to a graduation performance like ours."

Muriel put on a formal outfit that is rarely seen today, and looked solemn.

In the past and next week, various literary and art societies will organize their own special graduation performances. As the principal, he will be there to support each performance.

At this time, he was tilting his head and chatting with Nazhi.

When he learned that Nazi was coming to school as a guest, he was a little surprised, but thinking about Philio's powerful superpower and the exhibition match between him and Nazi, the old man felt relieved.

Anyway, my disciples have brought me many surprises, including one or two.

Although Miss Nazi has had some controversies in the past, she is now the official owner recognized by the alliance. After entering the entertainment industry, she has a pretty good reputation and is not a bad person.

"Principal Muriel, you're welcome. I'm also looking forward to Philio's script, and it's a rare experience for me to be able to appreciate a high-level dramatic performance up close."

Nazi also knew the relationship between Muriel and Filio, so she smiled and was very polite.

......

......

The performance is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m.

Backstage, the students in the drama club were busy making final preparations.

Some alumni from the past years also came to chat with Ina and the three of them.

Looking at the stage where many plays have been performed and the backstage that holds countless memories, Ina smiled with a smile on her face and a bit of reluctance in her eyes.

Students graduate one after another, and the performance that entrusts friendship and dreams will also come to an end after today.

Ina felt a little sad for no reason, shook her head, and walked aside alone.

"Ina, come and take a look at this." The thief-minded Antoine greeted Ina from a distance, "Zhuanzimian and I specially designed the first-act headdress for you yesterday. I feel that it matches the style you want to express.

."

Ina walked over with her hands behind her back: "Well... I feel good too."

"Looking at your low mood, do you feel as if you are about to leave?"

Antoine stepped forward, put the tiara on Ina, and whispered.

"Yeah, I'm leaving soon. After today, I will retire..."

In front of Ina's sight, Bogaman and Dazuiwa were helping to move things together. Although they were small, they were stronger than the other.

"Nothing will last forever, Ina." Antoine rarely showed some calmness and gentleness, "but we have experienced a lot of things together, which gives it the meaning of existence, just like this stage."

"You still remember the story about me and Chilu, right?"

Staring at the curtain, Ina's eyes seemed a little more confused and muddy, and she murmured in a low voice.

"Music and stories are a beautiful life. I still remember the beautiful song I heard in the wild with Chilu. Although I can no longer remember its melody or even everything about it, the feeling of

The inner touch has always left a deep impression on me. Maybe this is what you mean by belonging to this stage and our existence."

"Why, our Miss Ina and Mr. Antoine are discussing life together? It seems that I am a bit out of place."

The gentle voice dissipated some of Ina's sadness. Filio took the script and slowly walked closer.

"In fact, it's not that complicated. Every story is unique. Let everyone remember it and let ourselves remember it. This is the greatest meaning of what we do. Whether it is the story itself or us who interpret the story, we

Or the emotions in our hearts, whether they are joy or sadness, they are all the meaning of existence."

After thinking about it, Filio suddenly smiled knowingly: "Besides, it's not like you and Antoine can't perform at the University of Miare, so why are you so sad? Or are you two particularly reluctant to leave me?"

"You are not serious. You have disturbed the good atmosphere. Let's go, let's make the final preparations and then perform the last play."

After beating Filio's chest angrily, Ina took Antoine's hand and disappeared around the corner not far away.

"Huh... beyond the horizon, our future is the same, but the ending won't be a tragedy."

After touching the little dream monster who was still happily playing with his hair, Filio himself felt a little emotional.

As graduation approaches, "the future" has become an important topic that all students must face.

Following this, there are differences.

Even the foursome who have spent many years together are about to separate.

Abe decided to start his own trip to the Kanto region.

In his words, he felt some kind of call that he couldn't explain.

In addition, Kanto is his hometown, so it would not be a bad idea to go back and visit. He decided to start his journey as a breeder and trainer from there, pursuing his dream of "Tree Fruit Master".

Ina decided to continue her studies at the University of Miami School of Art and pursue her artistic path.

This is the dream she and Chirulian share.

As for Antoine, who was specially recruited by the combat department of Miami University by virtue of his record in the top 16 of the tournament, he will continue to be with Ina and spend another four years together.

It is worth mentioning that his father, who is the leader of the Beinek Gym, is also very satisfied with this matter and only feels that he has a successor.

Filio, who has made up his mind to start his own trip to the Kalos region after graduation, will undoubtedly be separated from his three friends after graduation, and it will be difficult to get back together for quite some time.

This is the sadness of the graduation season, and it also coincides with the discussion of the future and the present, ideals and reality in "The World Beyond".

Time is passing by, and this performance, which carries the countless efforts of several people, is about to begin.

------------------

"Look! Isn't it beautiful outside the hill? I can hear the voices from the past calling me to..."

Filio, who was wearing sickly pale makeup, or rather his character Robert, showed a happy smile that he had not seen for a long time.

"I'm leaving this time. It's not the end, but the beginning of freedom - the starting point of my voyage! I've got the right to travel - the right to be liberated - to the horizon! Oh, you should be happy -

Happy for me!"

In the distance, on the horizon, the small sun disk is about to rise.

Soft melody, blurred light and shadow.

The entire theater was silent except for the voices on the stage.

A country road runs throughout the stage, spanning the stage.

Five years, a story in three acts.

Robert, a young man who longed to pursue "the secret hidden beyond the horizon" was finally crushed by reality and fell on the top of the hill with "the sea behind it" at the last moment before sunrise.

Anju, a simple young man who was content with life on a farm, took an ocean-going ship and truly went to "beyond the horizon". In an era when the Pokémon League had not yet been established, he experienced different regions and different styles, and became a successful person.

And the tired individual eventually lost his spiritual world.

Ruth, a young girl who pursues beautiful love and marriage, gradually becomes rickety with old age and fatigue.

No one is extraordinary.

The dreams and paths of ordinary people's lives: pursuit - gain - loss, and then rekindle the dreamy light of hope.

The pursuit and disillusionment of dreams are like something beyond the horizon.

......

......

In the audience, looking at Filio who went from being full of vigor to being sluggish, and looking at Ina who was going from youthful energy to aging and tired, Nazhi just watched silently.

Unconsciously, Ina's figure overlapped with her own. She recalled her first meeting with Filio and thought of encounters again and again.

She suddenly realized what Philio was thinking.

From beginning to end, he regarded himself as a "never special" person and cherished and cared for his friends as "special".

It is precisely because of this that his feelings are particularly genuine.

Nazi thought of that night conversation on the beach that changed their relationship.

She found that before she knew it, she was getting closer and closer to Filio.

Not in space, but at the spiritual level.

The solid door that separated oneself from the outside world slowly opened.

The key to opening this door is this young man who fully interprets his story on stage, especially his sincere and passionate heart.

If it were me...

Results will vary.

Looking towards the stage, Nazhi had a confident smile on her lips.

But...it's not just me.

She thought again of the pretty girl who was always with Philio.

She is also "special" and "very special".

Frowning her brows slightly, Nazi clearly realized her thoughts and her "opponent".

Her hands were entangled on her thighs, and her mind was changing.

......

......

Everyone bid farewell.

The curtain falls.

There was lasting applause in the theater.

In Carlos, which admires art, such a play that combines love tragedy and social tragedy can not only be understood by the public, but also be loved by them.

Ruth's tragedy, Robert's tragedy, and Anju's tragedy.

The combination of three tragedies is a reflection of the helplessness of reality.

The audience's eyes were slightly red, and the applause came from the bottom of their hearts.

Muriel thought of many things that happened when he was young, middle-aged, and old. His thoughts were filled with thoughts, and he finally exhaled a long breath.

Filio straightened up and his eyes met Nazi's in the audience.

Thousands of emotions are conveyed to each other in an instant.

------------------

In the night, walking out of the campus and strolling on the street, the two of them walked side by side on the deserted street.

Philio raised his head and looked at the sky, where the bright moon was bright: "I'm very happy that you can spare the time to watch our performance."

Nazi pretended to be calm: "I just have time, so I came to take a look. I have to say, it's better than I imagined, and much better. I was very moved when I saw it, and I understood a lot of things."

After receiving Nazi's approval, Filio smiled, took off his backpack, and put his hand inside it.

"As long as you like it. This is the script. According to the agreement, I completed it."

A carefully proofread and bound booklet was placed in Nazi's hands.

"...Yeah. I'll accept it, thank you. Also..."

Looking at the message on the title page, Nazhi turned her head and muffled her voice to cover up her shining eyes. When she finished speaking, she hesitated a little with her beautiful face.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Philio looked over with concern.

"No, it's nothing. I just want to say that I am very grateful for your help to me. This is true. So... So, you must come to the concert at the end of the month."

Sensing Filio's eyes, Nazi forced herself to calm down and used the night as a cover.

"I thought you were going to send me a good guy card, haha! Don't worry, I will definitely go, I'm looking forward to it! I also believe that you will do something unprecedented at the last stop of the Carlos tour.

, a performance that amazed everyone."

Philio smiled and nodded with a firm tone.

Nazi turned her head and raised her flawless chin slightly: "Oh? You are so confident in me."

"Of course, you are Nazi, the best superstar."

Philio answered of course.

"...You can't let your petty champion hear these words~"

Take a few steps quickly to create some distance.

Nazi felt a little fever on her face. She tried her best to suppress it, but she couldn't hide the joy in her words.

"Okay, I'm here. You should go back as soon as possible. I will go back to Miare early tomorrow morning. I will be a little busy in the next few days. See you at the concert."

Not daring to look back anymore, she hid in her home as if running away, leaving Filio outside laughing.

"Concert...Miare..."

On the way home, Filio silently thought about everything that had happened recently.

------------------

"Ah! Oh no!"

After returning home and taking a shower to calm down, Miss Nazi exclaimed.

"What should I do..."

Holding the pamphlet she had prepared for a long time in her hand, she fell into a dilemma.

It’s obviously already...

Thanks to Naoyu for the 500 starting coin reward!

Thank you for being tired again, swinging haha, dim night, book friends, book friends, book friends, book friends, please call me Ergou~~, memory, three lives and three generations I, Qinghe Shiqi, Yi Zhikite Gu Ci
