Chương 19: caused a huge commotion.

"As everyone knows, there are 17 types of Pokémon in this world... Caitlia, is there something wrong with what I said? Why are you smiling like that!"

Dr. Rosen stopped teaching less than a minute into the lesson.

He had been keeping an eye on Cattleya, and when he saw her smile, which was three parts arrogant and four parts disdainful, he couldn't help himself.

If the other person weren't the top student in the academy, he would want to kick them out of the classroom right now.

"18!"

Cattleya said softly:

"There are 18 attributes in this world, Dr. Rosen, you've missed one."

Lu Sha, who was lying idly on the desk, couldn't help but raise her head and look at the stage with suspicion.

Recently, he had a good talk with Cattleya about these common sense facts. The constant collision between his knowledge of games from his previous life and the known information of this world has benefited both of them greatly.

Perhaps because Xerneas has not awakened, there are only 17 attributes in this world on the surface.

However, although the Fairy type has not been discovered, there has been a lot of speculation and research on it in Carlos's area, and it has been named the 18th type of attribute that was confirmed to exist but has disappeared.

Even Professor Oak, after retiring, conducted research in this area and confirmed the existence of an 18th type.

It's understandable if ordinary trainers don't know, but how could Rosen, a doctor who specializes in studying types, not know these things?

Is it that they genuinely don't know, or are they simply reading from a lesson plan during a lecture?

"Heh, Cattleya, the 17 types are a fact recognized by the entire League. Are you trying to include some special human abilities in Pokémon types as well?" Professor Rosen said unhappily.

He might actually feel a little guilty about other areas of knowledge.

However, the training methods for the 17 types of trainers were obtained from a relic.

The study of ancient civilizations must be much deeper than it is now, when everything is in ruins. How could it be wrong?

"Click! (Use words to guide him!)" Seeing that Dr. Rosen might genuinely be unaware, Lu Sha immediately perked up.

There's some juicy gossip!

There's big news!

What's the point of attending regular classes? It's not as fun as causing trouble.

If he really does something big, then his early morning hours won't have been in vain.

But for a moment, Cattleya was in a dilemma.

She doesn't have the skill of using words to persuade.

She has always believed that hypnosis is more effective than verbal guidance.

Before Gadriya could even form a word, Cynthia, sitting in the second row, asked:

"Professor Rosen, what are your thoughts on the study 'The Eighteenth Attribute That Existed a Thousand Years Ago'?"

"Student, this research is probably not an officially published research article; it's just some scholars' speculation. There are many such speculations, but we should rely on the official announcements released by the alliance."

Dr. Rosen realized something was wrong and began to evade the issue.

Once this matter is over, he'll definitely have to find this article and read it.

"Click! (Holy crap, she's so mean!)" Lu Sha clicked his tongue and looked at Cynthia in surprise.

He and Cattleya had recently read this article.

This is no informal or confidential research; the author of the article is none other than the renowned Yukinari Ōki!

At the same time, Cattleya frowned slightly, looking somewhat displeased.

Bad woman!

No matter the time, she always thought of using wicked methods to seduce Lu Sha.

snort!

She'll do it her way!

"Teacher, really? You haven't read this article?"

Par, who was sitting in the first row, couldn't contain himself any longer and charged forward like a vanguard.

"I've been quite busy lately, so I might have overlooked it."

Dr. Rosen looked grim, but still spoke up to defend himself.

He had absolutely no interest in research.

Previously, he was just a traveling trainer. Through the gains from exploring ruins, he transformed them into his own research, thereby becoming a teacher at the Celebration Academy.

For the past ten years, he has been living off that income.

He can answer questions about basic trainer knowledge with relative ease.

But when asked about the most cutting-edge research, he said he hadn't seen any of it.

However, Rosen wasn't afraid.

Even if he can't answer, at most it will just be said that he lacks ambition.

There are plenty of unambitious scholars like him, he's not the only one.

Surely Zhuqing College wouldn't fire him.

He's not a research PhD from a university; he's just the head instructor at a trainer academy.

"Dr. Rosen, are you aware of the penalties the alliance imposes for plagiarizing work and attributing it to you?"

Caldelia sat in her seat and spoke softly.

Rosen's complex thoughts were even more incessant than a dark raven, constantly popping into her head.

It's because there's too much of this kind of garbage that Sinnoh can't develop.

咔？

Lu Sha blinked twice and subconsciously looked at Cattleya.

The young lady might do things she's not sure about, but she never says things she's not sure about.

The fact that Cattleya said this proves that Rosen did indeed commit academic fraud.

But what kind of fake information could a scholar who summarizes and synthesizes information possibly fabricate?

Also, Miss, something's off about your superpowers...

Isn't it said that you can't read someone's mind?

How do you know the other person's secrets? Could it be that the other person's emotions are so obvious?

"Gardelia, you are attacking my character without cause. I can sue you for defamation with the League."

Dr. Rosen frowned, but remained completely calm.

When he first became a doctor, he was somewhat flustered.

But he has been operating within the Sinnoh League for so long, and his connections are spread throughout academia. Even if Cattleya were to sue him, without substantial evidence, there would be no result.

You should know that he's not the only trainer who got into the Celebration Academy by plagiarizing others' work.

"This is so troublesome. I really hate using words to persuade people."

A hint of annoyance flashed across Gadria's face, and the next second, her emerald green eyes glowed with a blue light that symbolized superpowers.

"Cattleya!"

Upon seeing this, Cynthia immediately realized what was happening and quickly spoke up to stop them.

Hypnotizing humans to extract confessions is also a violation of the law.

Unfortunately, she was too late.

Moreover, even if she shouts it, as long as it's not Lu Sha who shouts it, it won't change Gadria's mind.

Dr. Rosen, who never expected to be personally attacked, was instantly hypnotized by Cattleya.

"Tell me the secrets and evidence of your academic fraud, and also implicate your accomplices," Cattleya asked directly.

"I... twelve years ago, in a ruin in Baidai City, I found the results I'm now publishing. It wasn't a summary of previous people's conclusions, but rather the research content of a kingdom from a thousand years ago..."

"Where exactly is the site located? Are there any original records?" Cattleya continued to ask the key questions.

"Inside the Hundred Generations Forest, I have a complete map at home, and in a safe together, I have photos of the interior of the ruins that I took. It was through sorting through the stone slabs of the ruins that I learned about those findings..."

Do you recognize any ancient Chinese characters?

Cynthia's expression turned grim, and she suddenly spoke up to ask a question.

This incident made her feel extremely embarrassed.

Her grandmother was the vice principal of Zhuqing Academy, and her grandfather was the honorary dean of Trainers Academy.

The presence of such a scoundrel at school, even though it wasn't his family who let him in and they were completely unaware of it, still made her feel uncomfortable.

"It wasn't me, it was my friend Dr. Gu Jun. I helped him kill a scholar of ancient writing and steal all his research results. At the same time, he impersonated him. We kept it a secret from each other..." Rosen said blankly.

"Who else?"

Gadriya glanced at Cynthia, a hint of amusement in her eyes.

Dr. Gu Jun is the head of the Department of Ancient Chinese Characters at Zhuqing University. He is also a direct subordinate of Dr. Jie Zilan, and a young key member of the team promoted by Dr. Jie Zilan.

"besides..."

Rosen rattled off a long list of names, eliciting gasps of amazement and exclamations of delight from the students in the classroom.

Who would have thought that the first day of school wouldn't be about learning knowledge, but about hearing a shocking scandal from Shenon?

This lesson was really worthwhile!
