Chapter 8 Off-campus adventure is coming
It has been more than a month since Xiaozhi and Pikachu entered Orange & Grape Academy. During this period, they got to know the unique geographical features, humanities and history of this area, and became familiar with the classmates and teachers here. They made many new friends and became familiar with each other. covering all aspects of the college.
But as the days went by, more and more students had achieved passing grades, left the academy, and went on adventures in the vast Padia region, including Nemo. In fact, she had already earned enough marks and got her own Tai Jingzhu. However, the work of the student union and the mess left by the previous student union president left her with little to do. At this time, she who loves adventure and regains her freedom will gallop ahead like a wild horse.
"Xiaoqing, are you leaving this week too?"
Xiaozhi asked in a low voice.
"Yes, Xiaozhi, I am also looking forward to this day."
"I'm almost the only one left in the class who hasn't gotten the Tai Jing Bead yet and went out on an adventure outside of school."
Looking at the depressed Xiaozhi, Xiaoqing comforted him.
"Don't think so. The day will come soon for you to go out on adventures. After all, you are a freshman. Other classmates have taken one or two more classes than you. It is natural that they will pass the class earlier than you."
"Xiaoqing is also a freshman, and his progress is catching up with other students."
Xiaoqing smiled sheepishly.
"We are different. I am from Little Key Town and am a native of Padea. The history and humanities of the Padea area are more acceptable than yours. Courses like biology and history are not suitable for Xiaozhi who is from other places. , it’s meant to be a bit harder to learn.”
Xiaozhi curled his lips and said.
"As for other courses that are not restricted by region, including mathematics, home economics, art, and linguistics, I can't do it. There are also combat classes where I can't beat Teacher Huangbo."
Xiaoqing shook his head.
"But I don't think so. I think Xiaozhi is very talented in fighting."
Xiaozhi smiled inwardly. Although he knew that he was now the king of the Pokémon World Championships, he would never regard this as his ultimate goal. Every time he arrived in a new area, he could always unload All the baggage, meet new friends, new Pokémon, become braver as you fight, and win.
"Xiao Zhi... Xiao Zhi..."
"Pica...Pica..."
Xiaoqing interrupted Xiaozhi who was meditating, and Pikachu was also worried about him with a gloomy face.
Xiaozhi smiled and replied.
"Oh, there's nothing wrong with me, I just remembered some little things from the past."
After hearing this, Xiao Qing felt relieved and thought about the upcoming adventure activities outside the school, which was only suitable for Xiao Zhi as a way to quickly obtain the qualifications to go out.
"Xiao Zhi, I thought of a good way for you..."
Xiaozhi was overjoyed and replied sincerely.
"What's a good idea?"
"That is, the method that Nimo also mentioned before, in addition to getting enough passing scores, is to defeat any teacher in the academy, and you can also get a pass outside."
Xiaozhi suddenly realized.
"What, it turns out that you only need to defeat any teacher. I thought only teachers in the combat class have this privilege."
After Xiaozhi said this, he happily picked up Pikachu and threw it high, then caught it steadily, and the cycle started again. Xiaoqing couldn't help but interrupt them when they were in a happy mood.
"But..."
"But what?"
Xiaozhi turned around to ask, but for a moment he forgot about Pikachu in the air, fell hard, and bumped into him, making the two of them look like stars...
After the commotion, the two walked and chatted.
"Do you know how many part-time staff our college has that can challenge us?"
Xiaozhi twisted the brim of his hat, put it on backwards, crossed his arms and thought about it.
"Since I'm talking about faculty, in addition to the teachers of the seven subjects, there are also Principal Rackwell and Chairman Yeci... Oh, and the college nurse Mimosa."
Xiaoqing nodded.
"Yes, but Mimosa Nursing is only a doctor in the college's infirmary and has not obtained teaching qualifications, so it can be excluded. In addition to being a director of the college, Chairman Yeci is also the league champion of the Padia region. I don't think so. You can beat her now. As for Principal Rackwell, who has many things to do and is busy with work, and sometimes his whereabouts are mysterious, he is still not the one you choose."
"Then you still have to choose from teachers in those seven science subjects, right?"
Xiaoqing smiled awkwardly and answered.
"That seems to be the case. It's not wrong."
He continued talking again.
"We will start from the teachers of these seven subjects. It seems that in the minds of the students, the strength of the teachers can be divided into three levels."
"Three? What level does Teacher Huangbo belong to?"
Xiaozhi asked curiously, after all, this was the first time he heard this statement.
"Teacher Huangbo? I remember that she seems to be on the first level. After all, it is rumored that she has a close relationship with a certain gym leader, but her strength is at the lower end. Above her, there are Taimu from the mathematics department and Taimu from the art department. Eight moons."
"What! Is such a strong Huangbo just the lower reaches of the first echelon? That's great..."
The unexpected ranking, Huang Bo, the teacher of the battle class, belongs to the first echelon, Xiaozhi could predict it. As for Taimu and Bashuo, it is unimaginable that one of them helped him lead the way when he got lost after being separated from Mimosa, and the knowledge taught in class was astronomical that he could not understand.
The other is an art teacher with long shawl hair and an artistic flair. It's hard to imagine that they are stronger than Huang Bo, who specializes in combat classes.
Xiaozhi couldn't hide his excitement. After all, there was a stronger trainer waiting for him to challenge.
"Xiaozhi, you have to understand the situation. Now you have to avoid the edge for the time being. Although I don't think you will lose, but you have to consider one variable, which is Tai Jingzhu. Because you don't have Tai Jingzhu, you don't have this level of means for the time being. With the bonus, when facing an opponent who does not have the ability to crystallize in a battle, and thus give up the use of the ability to crystallize, only Huangbo would do this. I think teachers from other subjects may spare no effort to defeat you."
Ash looked at Pikachu. Thought, yes! Although Pikachu seems to have the ability to crystallize independently, I don’t want Pikachu to bear the pain of being unable to control its power...
"Pikachu, let's take Xiaoqing's advice and avoid the edge for now."
Pikachu nodded after hearing this.
"Next are the biology teacher Genia and the history teacher Rehe in the second echelon; the home economics teacher Savaro and the linguistics teacher Serge are in the third echelon. Let's start with the two teachers in the third echelon. .”
Xiaozhi also agreed with Xiaoqing's analysis, so he decided to go to the two teachers' classrooms to see if they were willing to become opponents.
When I arrived at the teaching building, I walked straight to Savarro's home economics teacher. Unfortunately, he was currently giving lessons to his senior classmates, including Xiaozhi's neighbor, Pipa.
In the classroom, I saw all the students with their faces, clothes, and bodies covered in cream, and they were busy cooking their own desserts. The theme on the blackboard also had the word "dessert" written in big letters. Savarro was preaching about Pipa's work, which turned out to be a sandwich.
Savarro was very angry. It is known that he is a person who prefers desserts. As for Pipa's unexamined behavior, he also had a headache.
Pipa seemed to be explaining something. According to the shape of his mouth, he should be persuading Savaro to take a bite of the sandwich he made... He couldn't refuse, so he could only take a small bite.
Suddenly, visible to the eyes, Savarro trembled slightly, then turned away with one hand in a pretentious manner, put the other hand in front of his mouth, made a fist, and coughed lightly. His attitude seemed to take a step back, said something, and then let it go. Pipa, who "doesn't review the topic", commented on other people's works.
It can be seen that it was Pipa's sandwich that made the flower and conquered the stomach of Savarro, who only loves desserts. However, he was not easy to praise or preach, so he said a few words and let the matter go.
Then I saw Pipa picking up the sandwich she had made, taking a bite, frowning, keeping silent, then putting it back and wiping her mouth... I didn't expect that the sandwich that could conquer the teacher was so strict with myself. Pipa seems to be passing the test.
At this time, Xiaozhi and Pikachu outside smelled the sweet smell coming from the home economics classroom. They pressed their cheeks against the glass window, working up their appetites and drooling. If not for the unique spice smell of the sandwich made by Pipa, everyone in the classroom would be attracted. Their comical side may have been discovered long ago.
Although Xiao Qing was also attracted by the fragrance, he did not behave like the two of them and patted Xiao Zhi.
"Xiao Zhi, I think Mr. Savaro won't have time to accept your challenge today. Let's find other teachers who are free."
After saying that, Xiaozhi and Pikachu reluctantly turned their faces away from the glass. At this time, a familiar figure appeared in the infirmary at the end of the corridor. This person was the combat class teacher Huang Bo.
Seeing the people coming from both sides, Huangbo was also very happy and swayed her raised arms.
"Xiaozhi, Xiaoqing, are you taking home economics class?"
Xiaoqing replied.
"No, Teacher Huangbo, we are..."
After telling the whole story, Huangbo also burst out laughing.
"Haha, that's it. That's a pity. Xiaozhi was almost able to defeat me. It was an evenly matched battle. It's a pity."
Xiaozhi also enjoyed the pleasure of the previous battle and replied.
"No, Teacher Huangbo, that was a good battle. It was the first such an enjoyable battle I had in the Padia area. I think I will be able to beat you next time."
Huangbo smiled and Xiaoqing asked.
"Why do I often see new bandages and wounds on the teacher's body, entering and leaving the infirmary? Please take care of yourself, teacher."
Huang Bo explained.
"Oh, I can't help it. Due to the requirements of the combat class, I often accidentally hurt myself, and I am also a frequent visitor to the infirmary. But this time I didn't go to Mimosa because of the injury, but made a new one. Just let her taste the food."
After speaking, he stretched out his hand and showed the empty cutlery box in his hand.
"Oh I got it!"
"However, you may not be able to compete with Savaro because I am not good at cooking. In order to improve, I asked Savaro for advice, and I have become a regular customer of his. I recently chatted with him and learned that his next course The content is quite heavy, and I may not be able to find time to play against you, Xiaozhi, in a short period of time."
Xiaozhi, Xiaoqing and the others also expressed their understanding, and then Huangbo spoke again.
"However, I think Mr. Saiji in the language class should have this time. When I met him recently, he said that it had been a long time since he had a duel, and he invited me to be his opponent next time."
Hearing this, Xiaozhi and the others were overjoyed. After all, Saiji was the next candidate they were looking for to fight. Huangbo also said.
"If possible, I would like to go to him with you and serve as a witness and referee for your battle. What do you think?"
"Great, Teacher Huangbo, without further ado, let's go find Teacher Saiji now."
After that, he headed to other floors to find the language class classroom. When he was about to arrive and before entering the classroom, a melodious reciting voice came out.
"Entering the huge pit of Padea is a false treasure of disaster from the four ancient times. The four treasures respond to the power of rotten wood, cracked frost, dust, and fire. Each seal removes its key, pulls out its stake and hears the response, and welcomes the coming disaster... …”
Knocking on the classroom door lightly, he got a response from the back room and entered the room. I saw that Teacher Saiji always had a smooth face, a suit and leather shoes, well-dressed, well-spoken and well-behaved, and was a well-known negotiator and social expert in the college.
As expected, the reciting voice came from Sergei's mouth. Seeing everyone, he stood up and asked with a smile.
"Huangbo, Xiaozhi and Xiaoqing from Class 1-A, do you have anything to do with me?"
Huangbo helped Xiaozhi and the others and took the initiative to ask.
"Teacher Saiji, did I interrupt your lesson preparation?"
Sage replied with a smile.
"I'm not preparing lessons. I was just asked by Lei He to help her translate the records in ancient books."
After saying that, Saiji picked up the "Book of Zhu" and "Book of Purple" from the table. Xiaoqing was confused and asked.
"Hey, this is not an adventure written a long time ago. The book records the author's arrival in unknown areas in the Padia region, but the authenticity is not clear yet. Can it be read in major bookstores and college libraries?"
Sage nodded in reply.
"Yes, although these two books are available everywhere, the original books disappeared together with the disappearance of Olin and Dr. Fotu ten years ago, and there is no news. The work of regional exploration has also been stagnant. We also lost the means to get to Area Zero..."
"Until Lei He, who is passionate about legends in history, discovered that these two books repeatedly elaborated on this passage, she thought there was something fishy and asked me to help her translate the parts of the book that she didn't understand..."
Xiaoqing listened carefully, but saw that Xiaozhi and Huangbo were absent-minded and yawned loudly. Saiji looked embarrassed and asked.
"Excuse me, Huang Bo came here with two students. What's the matter?"
Entering the topic, Huangbo became energetic.
"Sage, are you free for a Pokémon battle now?"
Saiji said happily as he closed the book.
"It just so happens that I've been bored and suffering from the translation work I've been doing lately, so I can just relax through Pokémon battle... So, Huangbo, do you want to fulfill our previous agreement to fight?"
Huangbo pushed out Xiaozhi in front of him and took a step forward.
"A battle is a battle, but this time I am just helping. The person you are going to fight this time is the transfer freshman Xiaozhi."
Saji is overjoyed.
"Haha, although it's not Huangbo, Xiaozhi's name is somewhat heard in the academy, and his strength is no worse than Huangbo. Yes, I accept Xiaozhi's challenge."
Xiaozhi was also happy and said firmly.
"That's great. Teacher Serge, let's find a spacious place to have a Pokémon battle now!"
Huang Bo was equally happy.
"Then let's go to the square in front of the college. Do you think it's okay?"
Ash and Sage said in unison.
"can!"
The Pokémon battle is about to begin, and adventures outside the school are imminent. The battle begins to bet on whether Xiao Zhi will be qualified to go out.
