The Unrivaled Berserker Dean
Chapter 40 The Unrivaled Berserker Dean
"This place is more like a mountain than an academy, the Academy Mountain."
Joey said, "The entire mountain range is our campus land; there isn't a single empty spot."
Such a terrifying utilization rate! I wonder if this 100% utilization rate includes some "lotus pond built at a cost of over 100 million".
I doubt anyone would dare to do this on Joey's turf.
The dean himself is a berserker version of Joey, who can withstand that?
"The driver told me I live in the teachers' dormitory area. Does that mean I can be assigned a room by myself?"
"Not just one room, but an entire apartment."
Qiao Yijing said, "Everyone has their own friends, so even the student dormitories are basically detached buildings, with ponds and courtyards."
Zhu Suihan:!
Yes, he likes this school!
"Those tall buildings you see are mostly teaching and research buildings, housing different departments."
"However, unlike regular colleges, only those who want to continue their studies after obtaining their graduation certificate can choose a department and pursue more specialized learning."
Qiao Yijing said, "As for the teaching building, there's nothing much to see. It's a bit big, but if you're late a few times, you should be able to figure out what it looks like."
How many times can you be late?
Okay, very college-like.
Zhu Suihan nodded: "I heard from the driver that Joey Academy also teaches combat?"
"Yes, I'm not saying you should compete for the championship, but you definitely need to be able to protect yourself."
Joyce said, "Especially when you're in charge of disaster relief, some Pokémon that are already quite sensitive become aggressive, so it's natural to take them down."
This is relatively easy to understand; it's the standard procedure for rescuing a drowning person.
If the other person is left awake, the wounded will turn into a water ghost.
"Oh, right, I almost forgot something."
Qiao Yijing said, "Suihan, how many friends do you have now?"
"One, Lapras... does that mean I'm being assigned a Chansey partner?"
In my memory, among Nurse Joy's Pokémon, the most common ones are Chansey, Coin Toy, and Flower Therapy.
Humans learn, and Chansey learns too. At least within the Academy, Chansey isn't your partner, but your classmate.
It's a study group.
"No, you're a transfer student, so you weren't considered when the assignments were made. Therefore, there won't be any in the short term."
Joey Jing's eyes crinkled with amusement: "How about it, want my friend to show you around?"
Zhu Suihan shook his head decisively: "Forget it, I probably won't learn anything by then."
It's like playing an online game. If you have an incredibly skilled player guiding you from the start, you might not find much enjoyment in the game, and you won't be able to develop your skills.
Forget about technical skills, they're probably just puppets in the hands of big shots, unable to even handle the most basic game mechanics.
"Besides, I have Riding Dragon, she can heal me too."
The Northern Darkness Ball wobbled, and Chenglong was very happy about Zhu Suihan's trust in him.
That's right!
Although Longlong can't fly, I can still do other things!
While it may not have as many moves as Chansey, a healing-type Pokémon, Life Drop is still a very valuable move.
Putting everything else aside, if Zhu Suihan could just develop an instrument that could hold droplets of life, the treatment could gradually become more and more wild.
Reusable potion 1.0: As long as the container can be made, any drop of life-giving water condensed by anyone can be put into it.
Let Chenglong save up a bottle, and whoever is injured, hold their head down and force them to drink a mouthful. Even the most serious injuries can be sustained until the emergency treatment is over.
Is it possible to get tired from doing this with dragons?
No problem, there are other Pokémon here. With such a large Nurse Joy Academy, it's a piece of cake to assemble a team that's good at Life Drops.
Now that reusable potions are available, the energy cube team can come up with some even more interesting solutions.
If you can add Chansey's egg and Milkcan's milk, and then follow the recipe for Energy Cubes, it's practically a replica of a healing potion.
Putting everything else aside, the Pink Devil's Egg and the Milk Tank's Milk are both top-notch in terms of taste and effect.
If you mix in some powder made from ground vital energy roots and droplets of life water, not many people will be able to taste the bitterness.
This is much better than any wound medicine.
What? You can taste it?
Well done! I'll find you a job as a high-end taster. Remember to give me a referral fee later!
"What are you thinking?"
Qiao Yijing noticed the change in Zhu Suihan's expression, or rather, it was a subtle change in expression, something like "a glint of light flashed in his eyes."
In fact, it's all the effect presented by micro-expressions.
"I just suddenly had an idea that I might use as a direction for my future research."
Zhu Suihan said, "If we can make it, even if the cost is a little high, it will still be a great thing."
Qiao Yijing nodded, not paying much attention to such matters. In her mind, Zhu Suihan might possess some ancient secrets and be able to directly read ancient texts.
If the other party can recover their past memories, they will definitely become a true expert in history and linguistics.
But research?
It would be good enough if we could expect Zhu Suihan to understand instruments and equipment.
"We've arrived. This is the cafeteria, and it's open all night, so you can eat here anytime."
Qiao Yijing said, "There are many different cuisines. If an average student eats all three meals at the academy, they can probably finish two-thirds of the recipes before graduation."
Great, he likes this school more now.
Zhu Suihan was somewhat puzzled: "What does 'the cafeteria is open all night' mean?"
"Some of the children are doing research or taking turns caring for Pokémon with severe symptoms. They must be exhausted when they get off work, which is why we prepare an all-night dining service for them."
"Having a hot meal will help me get a good night's sleep when I get back," Qiao Yijing said.
As for the idea that eating late at night easily leads to weight gain, that's not within the scope of consideration.
To be honest, for Joey's incredibly busy job, it would be a miracle if she didn't lose weight if she didn't get enough food and water.
Any job that keeps you incredibly busy can achieve the goal of not gaining weight no matter how much you eat by simply being "tired".
"It seems like it's about time. Would you like to treat me to a meal?"
Qiao Yijing couldn't help but glance at Zhu Suihan: "Don't think I don't know how exaggerated your appetite is. Uncle Liu also mentioned this."
"Your campus card and other documents have been prepared and are located in the dormitory area. The college will cover your meal expenses in advance as a subsidy for students in need, which you will have to repay later."
Zhu Suihan:?
It seems he's become someone who takes out loans to go to school?
Zhu Suihan originally wanted to say that he was rich, but after thinking about it, he decided against it.
As a freshman, he certainly couldn't use some scientific research equipment casually. He planned to try paying to use it first and then make the reusable medicine.
Whether it's sold to Rocket Group or Joy Academy, it's just a small meal fee. Zhu Suihan can say without batting an eye that he'll pay for all the cafeteria expenses this month.
That's when Zhu Suihan should really ask for a huge sum of money. If he doesn't replenish his savings, it would be considered that he's being too soft-hearted.
"This is where you'll be staying from now on. The key is already at the door. You don't even need to clean; just bring your bags and move in."
Qiao Yijing said, "But you should also be careful not to disturb others if you want to practice moves or do research in the accommodation area."
That's no problem. When we go into the nearby deep mountains and forests, how could we possibly disturb anyone else?
"It's getting late. You can pack up and go to the cafeteria for dinner. You have an exam tomorrow."
Zhu Suihan:?
"Didn't I already finish my exams?"
"That's a psychological test, but the actual test still needs to be conducted."
Joyce laughed and said, "Don't worry, for beginners like you, we're using models, not real injured Pokémon."
"Let me give you a little hint: the models used in the hands-on experiments are completely randomized and cover a very wide range. I don't know what you'll get."
Zhu Suihan's heart skipped a beat: "The scope is very broad, but just how broad is it?"
"Don't worry, it won't be too extreme. The range of questions for the beginner exam will be limited to Sinnoh, and only the more common Pokémon."
Qiao Yijing smiled: "This is an academy, not some torturous place."
I think the scope of this topic selection is already torturous enough.
Zhu Suihan looked at Old Joey: "You mean you're just slacking off and going straight home?"
"Smart kid, besides the model exam, there are other basic knowledge exams as well. I hope I can see you pass them."
Passing, not excellent, means that those strange exams are still somewhat inhuman.
That makes sense, though. For an old-fashioned person like me, passing is probably a good result.
"But unfortunately, I'm not some real old-fashioned relic."
Following the road, Zhu Suihan found her empty house and, as expected, found all the necessary documents and instructions at the door.
It seems the course schedule won't be released until after my exams.
He made a phone call to Mr. Steel and Chie, and then another to Uncle Liu, who couldn't help but laugh after hearing about Qiao Yijing's test.
"Haha, that crazy woman looked just like that when she was young, just ignore her."
Zhu Suihan's heart ignited with a thirst for gossip: "A crazy woman?"
"Yeah, Qiao Yijing is a few years older than me. Back then, let alone the Four Heavenly Kings, even the champion had to behave himself in front of her."
Uncle Liu said, "Back then, she was a strong woman known as 'Sister Jing.' Even the older generation of Joey suspected that they had switched the babies with Officer Jenny's."
"I can fight and I can heal. Back then, I beat up a lot of bad guys. I managed to bring many young people back from the wrong path by relying on my own and Chansey's fists."
One's own fist?
He really is a berserker!
Uncle Liu patted the little wild boar's head: "But don't worry, although she doesn't like the dean thing, she won't joke about her duty to teach the younger generation."
"Oh, okay, I think I understand. Take care of yourself."
Zhu Suihan hung up the phone and glanced at Chenglong, who was touching and looking at things in the living room.
I have a feeling that my college life is going to be quite magical.
Forget it.
To make a name for ourselves, we started by giving the cafeteria staff a small, gustatory shock!
"Chenglong, let's go eat!"
“Wuwu!”
