Chapter 44 Qiao Yijing: Students are much more interesting than documents!

"The second exam was so easy."

Zhu Suihan grinned. The exam was about making energy cubes, not bacon or macarons, which was a piece of cake for him.

Energy cubes are widely used because their production process is simple and quick.

It can be roughly understood as a nutritious version of instant noodles, and if made well, the aroma of the energy cubes is just as good as the other types.

Of course, it would be better for Ash to wait a bit longer, because the shape that Poffin made looked like charcoal slag blasted out by Typhlosion's repeated fire breaths.

Concentrated substances may not be the essence; they may even be toxins.

Let alone ordinary Pokémon, even Arceus with its complete stone tablet might not dare to bite it.

The purpose of Sacred Ash is to revive people, and Ash's homemade Poffin Ash is definitely the opposite.

They can send people away.

There probably won't be a third game, right?

Zhu Suihan, who was enjoying the breeze in the corridor, suddenly saw Qiao Yijing. The old lady walked over with a smile on her face, holding a Poké Ball in her hand.

Zhu Suihan: "Can I change the examiner?"

"I'm sorry, I can't."

Qiao Yijing said, "The final test will be a sparring match with me, to test each student's combat ability."

"Since you only have one partner, Lapras, the test will be the simplest one-on-one challenge."

"I choose to surrender."

Anyway, failing the exam doesn't mean you can't get into school. Compared to that, Zhu Suihan would rather be beaten up by a big shot for no reason.

Qiao Yijing: ?

"This isn't my Pokémon, it belongs to an academy employee."

"Then I won't fight."

Whatever championship you win, I'll win too.

I'll do whatever you give me!

We strongly oppose this kind of behavior where a "big shot" tries to bully newbies!

"I want to change to a normal teacher, no, I should say I want a real assessment teacher to assign the questions."

Qiao Yijing smiled: "Be bold, why can't I be the real examiner? Who says the dean of the academy can't teach?"

?

"How about we make a bet, Suihan?"

Joey Jing offered a tempting offer: "Don't you have a research project you want to implement? If you can beat me in the assessment, I'll cover the funding."

"Of course, if you want to fulfill this bet, my strength will definitely not be the standard assessment, and the difficulty will definitely increase."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Suihan fell into deep thought.

Although it's bait, this bait is far too tempting.

I suddenly understand what it feels like to be a fish that has been caught.

"What rules? Standard match, or unrestricted free-for-all?"

Qiao Yijing exclaimed in surprise, "From what you're saying, you're going to have a street fight? Bullying the elderly isn't a good habit."

As expected of people from ancient times, they might not be used to standard combat.

"No, it's just that open field battles suit my style better."

Zhu Suihan weighed the Poké Ball in his hand: "If it's a wild battle, I'll accept this bet."

"Alright then."

Joey nodded in satisfaction. As a dean who had no desire to serve as dean, Joey Academy was indeed a bit stifling for her, a berserker.

It's rare to have such a "non-rule" living antique appear in front of her, and it can only be said that Qiao Yijing feels that her mindset has become younger.

Of course, she couldn't possibly have the will to fight. In Qiao Yijing's shrewd eyes, a novice like Zhu Suihan, who was obviously no good, couldn't inspire her to fight.

However, if Zhu Suihan makes herself the primary target later, Qiao Yijing might have to raise the difficulty of the assessment to another level.

Respecting the elderly and caring for the young—yes, that's it!

She doesn't care about actual age!

"Playing in a standard arena is a bit too abstract."

Zhu Suihan cracked his knuckles: "Dean, let me ask you a question first. Shouldn't I be exempt from paying for damaging public property?"

"Need not."

Qiao Yijing chuckled. "You little brat, trying to play mind games with me? Countless people in our generation have used this trick before."

"Riding the dragon!"

"A large wolfhound!"

That's how it is in open field battles; whether you can get the first move depends on your own skill, and there's no referee to call "start" for you.

It's clear that Joyce is very skilled at these little tricks to save time.

"The Ripple of Water!"

boom!

Almost the instant the name of the move was shouted, the water wave that the dragon had gathered was already unleashed!

"Scream!"

"Awoo!"

The large wolfhound roared to the sky, its purplish-black elemental energy spreading outwards in concentric circles, showing no sign of stopping.

So this is the Saiyan's energy cultivation method, right? This attack just keeps going!

That's a really good lung capacity.

Moreover, the large wolfhound exuded an aura of increased ability level.

Hmm, a combination of a long howl and a loud roar, huh?

But it doesn't matter, as long as the aftereffects of Water Ripple are still there, this battle won't have any problems.

The main attacker is not Chenglong!

The water ripple eventually hit the Great Wolfhound, but in terms of effect, it seemed no different from being sprayed with a child's water gun.

However, the chaotic state was still triggered!

"Thunder Fang!"

Joey remained expressionless. Even though the Great Wolfhound was already somewhat unsteady, she still managed to use Thunder Fang, only unfortunately, the release speed was too slow.

That's not the worst part.

The most dangerous one has already broken through!

At the start, the dragon was not intimidated, and it did not increase its speed after becoming abnormal.

If it's not intimidation and speed, then it's overconfidence?

Excellent, excellent, this is a singles match!

Zhu Suihan circled around to the side, and the sticky ball in his hand successfully hit the big wolfhound, and then fired in quick succession!

Interestingly, when Zhu Suihan raised the sticky ball and threw it, Qiao Yijing dodged it with an agility far beyond what was expected of someone her age.

When the thud sounded, Qiao Yijing was clearly startled. She didn't hear the expected sound of a thrown object hitting the ground, nor did she catch any foreign object out of the corner of her eye.

Was the target of the projectile the large wolfhound from the very beginning?!

"Big Wolfhound, aim at the trainer, charge!"

"Woof."

The only response to Joyce was a weary bark. The large wolfhound lay listlessly on the ground, its body covered in dust and fruit crumbs, twitching.

"water gun!"

"Ugh!"

A water gun with speed and impact far exceeding that of ordinary water jets came rushing over, hitting the large wolfhound squarely and knocking it off the field to the grass, where it was left with mosquito coil-like eyes.

Zhu Suihan narrowed his eyes: "Chenglong, aim at the Dean, and unleash the Freeze Ray!"

Joyce laughed heartily, remaining motionless in the face of the Ice Beam, as the Poké Ball at her waist automatically opened.

"Happy~"

The pink angel egg formed an invisible barrier, easily blocking the freezing rays.

Riding a dragon: ?

Wasn't it supposed to be a singles match?

"Lucky Eggs"

Zhu Suihan raised the sticky ball.

Come on, Lucky Egg, let me test your purity!

"Stop, the assessment is over!"

Qiao Yijing glared at Zhu Suihan: "You want to keep fighting, kid?"

"Sorry, I didn't realize it at first, I didn't realize it at first."

After coughing, Zhu Suihan put away the sticky ball, completely denying that he intended to use the lucky egg to test the sticky ball's strength.

"Happy".

Happy Egg shook his head. The young man wasn't being honest.

She could have easily ignored the powerful freezing ray, but her old friend was right behind her, which is why she managed to hold her ground and defend against the attack.

Clearly, the freezing ray only caused a slight vibration after hitting the target, not enough to break through its protective barrier.

"Yes, you work together very well."

Chenglong gave Zhu Suihan a "high five" with his head, while Qiao Yijing looked at Zhu Suihan with a somewhat strange expression.

The Pokémon's strength wasn't really tested, but the trainer's strength was revealed.

If this were a real open-world fight, this kid's goal would definitely be to knock out the trainer with one punch.

The rules are that it's a wild fight, so even if the big wolfhound is incapacitated and the attacker doesn't call for a stop, it will still choose to attack.

To put it nicely, this is simply following the rules, but in reality, it's nothing more than a form of outright hunting.

"You may not be suited for standard matchmaking."

"That little gadget was really interesting," said Joyce. "I didn't expect trainers to like bringing gadgets during battles."

Dean, you probably don't know the true value of insulating gloves. They're amazing gadgets that can store 100,000 volts directly in your hand.

Zhu Suihan sighed: "This is just one of the props."

"One of them?" Joey asked curiously.

"Yes, those are items for Pokémon. There's also one specifically for trainers."

Zhu Suihan took out a heavy ball and gestured: "This is it."

Qiao Yijing: ?

I understand. If he encounters an enemy rather than a rival in the wild, Zhu Suihan will become a ruthless throwing machine.

A heavy ball defeats the opposing trainer, and that strange ball-shaped attack was aimed at the Pokémon.

"Well, a transfer student like you really does bring me surprises."

Qiao Yijing smiled and said, "You passed the assessment. Congratulations! Your final assessment result is excellent."

Zhu Suihan scratched his head: "Strictly speaking, I don't care about grades; I'm more concerned about that bet."

He didn't know if the research on the reusable medicine would be successful, so it's conceivable that the research would be more costly than expected.

Since someone is willing to pay, Zhu Suihan will not stand on ceremony.

"You'll definitely get your share. If it's just a laboratory, I, as the director, can easily allocate resources for you."

Qiao Yijing pointed to the sticky ball in Zhu Suihan's hand: "Can you satisfy my curiosity? What is that?"

"Another way to use Cones is to use the energy from catching them to affect the Pokémon's status and accelerate the opponent's stamina depletion."

Joyce nodded: "Now I have a little more faith in your interest in research."

"Now, let's get back to the main topic."

Qiao Yijing walked over and handed the student ID to Zhu Suihan.

"Welcome to the university, new students! Remember to take a photo at the office building sometime."

Zhu Suihan casually flipped through the documents: "Seeing all those smart devices in the teaching building, I thought there wouldn't be any paper certificates like this anymore."

"These days, the internet has indeed brought us great convenience, but sometimes it's not just a document; it also represents a period of time."

Joey smiled and said, "When you touch the real thing, you can feel that past time, you can even smell the scent of that time, and feel the temperature of the sun."

"If you make more friends in the future, perhaps one day when you pick up your ID card again, or find yourself in a similar environment, you will remember what your friends were like."

Even the majestic dragon has its adorable moments when it's small and cute.

Just wanted to mention that a reader in the first chapter whose username started with "20191129" said that the Kanto and Kanto regions were just a matter of transliteration, and that the two companies were not actually separated.

Previously, the two teams shared the Quartz League, and then the Quartz and Johto Leagues became separate. In later generations, two different champion teams and Elite Four emerged. One team consisted of Lorelei and Akiko, and the other team consisted of Ichiju Rika. That's why it's called a split, since the two teams previously only had one Elite Four system.

I'm sharing this to see what everyone thinks. I'll revise it after reading the feedback. Also, do you prefer the Kanto or Kanto sound?

Thank you everyone for your support! (*^▽^*)
