Zero Great Mine, Legendary Pokémon Diancie, Talebages, Xiangxi Travel, Legendary Pokémon Raikou, Ultra Beasts, Iron Warrior, and newly discovered special Pokémon.
After hearing Wei Xin's story, Shirona's hand holding the cake trembled slightly.
That can't be right. I've been at school for two months, not two years?
Is this an experience that most people can have?
I've lost out, I've lost a lot.
Cynthia sighed.
"If only I hadn't gone back to Shanghai to teach after the Hoenn incident, but instead gone on an adventure with you."
"So, how's it like at school, Ms. Cynthia?" Wei Xin teased with a smile.
Clearly, even the regional champion couldn't defeat the school monster.
"To be honest, it's absolutely terrible," Cynthia sighed, frowning, and turned to look at Wei Xin. "Would you mind if I vent a little?"
"Would you mind if I listened while I was doing my errands?"
Since I'm just killing time anyway, I might as well listen to the background noise.
"Can."
Afterwards, Cynthia and Wei Xin shared their teaching experiences during this period.
Simply put, it's about all sorts of unproductive and abstract students who gave Cynthia, who had no teaching experience, a little shock from the Eastern Imperial University students.
Because it was an easy elective course called "Sinnoh Mythology and History," students didn't take it seriously. After the novelty of the champion's lecture wore off, problems such as skipping class and truancy began to emerge.
On one occasion, when a subjective assignment was collected, the plagiarism rate in one class was as high as 90%, with almost everyone submitting assignments after only a few words were changed.
She was even worried that students might fail their midterm exams due to too many absences.
"Sigh, never mind, I'd better hurry up and finish teaching this semester's classes and get my visa sorted out," Cynthia said casually. "By the way, what were you writing just now?"
She noticed a thick stack of exam papers next to Wei Xin.
She's a liberal arts student, so she couldn't quite understand what was written above.
"The final exam papers, once I pass them, I can graduate early."
Although it was a final exam set by professors, it only covered basic knowledge. Even the subjective questions were modified versions of the textbooks, and Wei Xin could answer them without even looking at the book.
He can still find time to give Cynthia a perfunctory reply.
"Exam papers, graduation, I see. Oh right, wait for me a moment."
As if she had thought of something, Cynthia left the house and returned with a test paper in her hand.
"This is?"
"The exam paper I set."
"Are you planning to ask me to test the difficulty level?"
"No, I just wanted you to do it so I could score you," Cynthia said innocently.
Let me test you.
Wei Xin's expression was subtle.
Distributing exam papers to students? Adding insult to injury! How could Sister Cabbage be so mean!
Or was dinner too good, leaving you with nothing to do after eating your fill?
"Keep writing! If you get over 90, the teacher will give you a reward," Cynthia encouraged.
What if you fail? Will there be any punishment?
After a moment of contemplation, Wei Xin decided not to court disaster.
Never provoke a mature and cunning woman.
Seeing Wei Xin obediently begin writing the test she had prepared, Cynthia smiled with satisfaction. Turning her head, she saw Gardevoir playing a game.
pve.
It's a fighting game, and Gardevoir is quite well-controlled, at least able to dominate the computer. For a Pokémon, it's pretty good, which immediately piqued my interest.
"Would you mind having a PvP match with me?" Cynthia asked, sitting next to Gardevoir.
It's nice to occasionally beat some newbies.
"Garde~" Gardevoir readily agreed. She had never battled anyone other than a trainer before, and handed over the controller.
Taking the controller, Cynthia began to recall the character's move list. Although she hadn't played this game in a long time, she was still considered a high-ranking player, and most players were no match for her.
Until she saw Gardevoir's login screen and the difficulty of the PVE mode.
Torment!
It's pointless; while the system is reading commands, it's also using a disgusting mode that tortures the player with a wheelchair character.
I was startled. Was Gardevoir just sparring with a humanoid AI on Torment difficulty?
And you're still dominating the opponent?
Impossible, absolutely impossible, it must have been Wei Xin who did it.
However, just in case, they chose Lucario, which is the most wheelchair-friendly, while Gardevoir chose Infernape, which is the most complicated to control.
OK, it's all set!
"Islana said confidently."
Set a goal in your mind.
What kind of character is your Infernape to try and take advantage of my Lucario? If your Infernape can beat me, I'll just... never mind, never mind, what if I actually lose?
As expected, her Lucario was taken down by Gardevoir's smooth little combo.
Lost.
As if she could foresee the future, Gardevoir was able to perfectly counter her attacks every time.
"Garde~" Gardevoir covered her mouth and chuckled.
The computer can read her commands, but she can read Cynthia's commands.
In conclusion, while you are an authority in Pokémon battles, in the gaming world, you are just—
Newbie (laughs).
Cynthia refused to believe it. "How could I, a regional champion, lose to you in a game with just one Pokémon?"
"Let's play one more round!"
"Garde~" Gardevoir readily agreed, and not only that, she also put one hand behind her back.
Cynthia was slightly taken aback. Was she planning to give me one hand?
Since becoming the Sinnoh Champion, she has never encountered anyone so arrogant—a Pokémon.
I'll have to teach you a lesson.
Three minutes later.
P1winner
The result remained unchanged.
"Again!"
Gardevoir placed both hands behind its back this time.
I don't even need to lift a finger to beat you.
One minute later.
P1winner
"Um?
'
Cynthia was stunned. She turned her head and saw Gardevoir manipulating the controller with psychic power, even more smoothly than if she were doing it manually.
The sound of Gardevoir's silvery laughter reached my ears.
Are you coming again?
"I'm not coming."
Can't I just admit I'm bad at the game?
Cynthia put down the controller, slumped onto the sofa in a daze, pounded her legs against the sofa, buried her face in the cushions, and made muffled noises.
Sister Cabbage is so cute.
Wei Xin coughed, drawing Shirona's attention.
"Teacher, I've handed in my paper."
It wasn't until she saw Wei Xin's face that Shirona's brain, which had been shut down by the game and her anger, finally reacted.
She is currently at Wei Xin's house, not at her own home.
Oh no, it's a bit too loose.
Cynthia's face flushed red, but she quickly regained her aloof demeanor. She took the test paper from Wei Xin, covered half her face with it, and asked in a low voice, "What did you just see?"
Do you mean losing to Gardevoir in a game, or suddenly going crazy while hugging a sofa cushion?
Wei Xin pursed his lips and quickly shook his head, taking a long time to control himself from laughing out loud: "Would you believe me if I said I didn't see anything?"
"I must have seen it all—" Cynthia silently clenched her fist and snorted, "Wei Xin has ten points deducted for his neat handwriting because he talked back to the teacher."
Wei Xin's expression was complicated.
Are you Severus Snape from somewhere, arbitrarily deducting points from my Gryffindor level?
Ten points were deducted immediately.
In other words, I now have to get every question right to receive the reward?
Can we win?
"Hiss~" Cynthia checked Wei Xin's test paper and gasped.
Oh no, he really got a perfect score.
Especially her answers to subjective questions were even more accurate than the reference answers she had prepared.
She couldn't find any additional reasons to deduct points.
"Teacher, what's my reward?" Wei Xin asked excitedly, rubbing his hands together.
Cynthia turned her head and glanced at the remaining empty rooms in Wei Xin's house.
After a moment's hesitation, he said, "How about I treat you to letting me stay at your house for the night? We can take some time to discuss the details and preparations for our upcoming adventure."
"Um?"
Cynthia's words caused Wei Xin's brain to freeze for a moment, and it took him a long time to react.
Let's put aside the fact that Sister Baicai ate and took some.
"It's not appropriate for a young woman to stay overnight at a boy's house."
"What's inappropriate about it?" Cynthia said nonchalantly, shaking the Poké Ball at her waist. "Or do you think you can beat me in a Pokémon battle? How about we just have a match?"
