Chương 55: Things Have Come to This

As her meditation skills improved to mastery, Cattleya's offline status became increasingly apparent.

Or to be more precise, after hearing the introduction about the points and benefits for the school team captain, everything else was no longer on the young lady's radar.

She became Lu Sha's mouthpiece, simply following Dora Sena with lifeless eyes, letting Lu Sha listen to matters related to the school team.

Overall, the management of the school team is actually quite relaxed, and it can even be described as laissez-faire.

There are no mandatory morning or evening classes or group training sessions.

Members can stay at the academy to enjoy top-notch facilities, go out into the wild for practical training, or even take a long leave to challenge the League Conference in other regions.

The other colleges are similar.

According to Dora Sena, the two top students of the German Academy almost never show their faces at the academy and are rarely seen.

Luna of Lumiose is a well-known rising star in the film industry in Carlos. In addition to training Pokémon, she often takes time to act in movies and has no time to stay at the academy.

The Quartz Academy is similar; it's mostly about training and honing skills in the wild.

Zhuqing College is also only able to see all the team members because it has only been a short time since the start of the semester.

Otherwise, you almost never see anyone except during exchange matches or the college cup.

However, although the management is relaxed, the benefits are substantial.

Compared to the points-based subsidies, the biggest benefit is Dora Sena's ability to answer questions anytime.

Even if she is not at the academy, the team members can ask her for advice remotely at any time through communication devices.

Having a trainer who is a near-Elite Four member or even an Elite Four member available to answer questions is enough to drive students without a lineage crazy.

By the time the introduction ended, it was nearly noon.

Because she was so happy today, Ah Liu generously offered to treat everyone to a meal in Zhuqing City.

Caldelia didn't want to go, but Lu Sha, to prevent her from dying from liver damage, still suggested that she go.

As soon as Lu Sha mentioned it, Jia Deliya went.

However, Lu Sha did almost all the communication; she was practically invisible and AFK, only needing to use her mouth.

But Lu Sha felt that the meal had no effect whatsoever.

On the surface, the young lady elegantly cut her steak, nodding and saying a few words of agreement from time to time.

But secretly, Lu Sha could clearly see that his psychic proficiency would increase by 1 point every few minutes.

By the time lunch was over, Cattleya had gone even further.

The young lady spent an afternoon at the library and read at least 20 books.

With her memory, Lu Sha was certain that she had memorized all of this.

The most outrageous.

Lu Sha spent the entire afternoon at his desk, staring at the screen for four whole hours, but still couldn't figure out how the young lady was using her telekinesis.

But the panel never lies.

The proficiency in telekinesis remained as stable as a clock, ticking once every five minutes.

Even more outrageous is that occasionally they'll show a bit of skill in hypnosis.

Lu Sha sometimes even wondered if she was being hypnotized and that everything she was seeing was just an illusion.

As dusk approached, the setting sun shone through the French windows onto the pages of the book.

"let's go."

Cattleya gently closed the book, and her emerald green eyes finally regained some of their luster.

As she stood up, several Muke birds that had been standing upside down all afternoon felt a buzzing in their heads in the air outside the library's top floor; it was the dizziness that came after the telekinesis and hypnosis were canceled.

"Clatter!"

Several poor birds landed on the roof, dizzy and disoriented. They looked at each other blankly, scratched their heads, and had no idea what had happened all afternoon.

Forget it, life is too short for a bird, if I can't figure it out, I'll stop thinking about it.

Since things have come to this, let's have dinner first!

"Muk!"

The lead bird let out a cry and led its underlings in a wobbly flight toward the academy square, their flying posture resembling that of someone who had drunk two ounces of fake liquor.

"Clang? (Why are those silly birds flying like they're drunk?)" As Lu Sha was being carried out of the library by Gadriya, he looked up and saw the Muke birds flying like drunkards, and couldn't help but grin.

"Perhaps they've been upside down all day."

Cattleya smiled slightly, her tone light and cheerful.

"Huh? (A Starbird isn't a gugu, it can sleep upside down, right?)" Lu Sha retorted.

"It was mentioned in the book I read today," Cattleya said softly.

"In the Nohara City wetland reserve, there really are some strange Starbirds that sleep upside down in the trees. Because of their bizarre posture, the first person to discover them even mistook them for a variant of the Ghost type."

She talked on and on about the interesting things in the book. Those knowledge points that seemed extremely boring to others became interesting to Lu Sha when she told them to him.

In this tiny world with only one person and one shark, she is the true young girl, Cattleya.

"Crack! (Tsk tsk, they really have an imagination, but the world is so big, who knows, it might actually be true!)" Lu Sha chuckled.

Who can say for sure about Pokémon?

Arcanine was a Rock-type Pokémon back in the Green Age, and it looked like a lump of coal.

And so, the two of them chatted as they ate dinner in the cafeteria, and then casually packed two large bags of Baofen (a type of snack).

As the sun set, their laughter echoed all the way to their private training ground.

The atmosphere instantly changed as soon as the training ground door was opened.

Cattleya's smile vanished instantly, and her expression returned to calm.

"Kaka! (My little ones, I've come to see you!)" Lu Sha carried two large bags of Baofen in her short little paws and walked into the venue with an air of indifference.

The dragon and the bull, who were resting in the corner, reacted immediately upon hearing the noise.

Compared to the rhinoceros's quiet glance upwards, the dwarf dragon's reaction was quite intense.

"Whoosh!"

A blue and white snake-like shadow shot forward like an arrow, moving at a speed completely disproportionate to its size.

Its body, which was a full 200 millimeters long, nimbly bypassed all obstacles and braked instantly in front of Lu Sha.

I can smell it!

It tastes delicious!

"Mimi! Mimi! (Mommy, I practiced well today!)"

"Meow! (And another thing! Mom, that big guy is slacking off!)"

"Moo? (Huh?)" Not far away, the once calm one-horned rhinoceros felt as if the sky had fallen, and its horn was almost crooked with anger.

Heaven and earth conscience.

Today, in order to deal with this overseer, it squeezed out all the ground-type, rock-type, and even its pitiful dragon-type energy in its body, so tired that it couldn't even lift its hooves.

As a result, this long, twisting blue strip actually accused it of being lazy?

Isn't this bullying the cow?

If this counts as slacking off, then what about the blue and white striped dog that just spat about 10 times and then collapsed from exhaustion?

"Cut! (Stop! Who's your mother? Call me Big Brother!!)" Lu Sha swiftly raised her hand and stopped the mini-dragon that was trying to crawl into Bao Fen's bag.

With his other hand, he gave it a flick on the forehead without any hesitation.

Ha, do you think these little tricks can fool his sharp eyes?

It's all clearly displayed on the system panel. The proficiency of the Unicorn Rhino's moves is increasing rapidly. If I practice a little more tonight, I can even reach the proficiency level for Sandstorm.

In contrast, this mini dragon's dragon breath only increased by 19 points.

For a creature of Dratini's level, this can hardly be considered lazy.

But making false accusations is absolutely unacceptable!
