At the end of the two-day weekend vacation, Luke has to go back to school again.
After the world line changed, Magic City University experienced a complete transformation, with significant differences in every aspect of the campus and its surroundings.
As Luke strolled through the campus, he couldn't help but notice the abundance of young girls carrying Poké Balls. Some had their Pokémon out, following them around and accompanying them on their daily activities.
Most of them are small-sized Pokémons, such as Pidgey, Growlithe, Skitty, etc. There are also students who ride their Linoone.
"Pokémon is forbidden in the school grounds!"
"Relax, we are just training today under the supervision of the Battle Department!"
After checking the official website, Luke discovered that there was indeed an additional "Trainer Academy" in the South Campus, which allowed students to train and practice their Pokémon skills within the academy's designated areas.
Among them, "Pokémon Battle" and "Pokémon Breeding" are still Level 1 key majors.
But these have little to do with Luke who majored in finance.
Although there are a few more Pokémon elective courses on the class schedule, the content of Luke's professional courses has not changed much.
"Fortunately, there is still time to review, otherwise the scholarship for this semester will be suspended." Luke muttered.
Indeed, Luke is not only a talented game streamer but also a knowledgeable scholar.
Professionals are among the best, and have been in the top three in the department. There will be opportunities for national awards in the second half of the year.
Although he is a freshman, but with good looks and good grades, Luke is very popular in all grades.
The first class in the morning is "History of Sinnoh Pokémon".
When I came to the lecture hall, the classroom was full, already full of people.
"Brother Luke, here it is!"
Luke's roommate, Damien, who has a double degree in law and computer science, beckoned to Luke.
Although it has a round inch, the M-shaped hairline has deeply betrayed Damien, and people can't help but feel deeply moved:
This is a powerhouse!
When he came to the place occupied by his roommate, Luke whispered: "Why are so many people here today? Teacher doesn't even call the name!"
Damien said with a smile:" Didn't you read the news in the group? Today's class is taught by a foreign teacher, and it is still a Pokémon Professor."
Luke slightly startled: "Where is the Pokémon Professor?"
"Sinnoh Region, Professor Rowan!"
Suddenly there was a thunderous applause in the crowded lecture hall, and a few reporters who were against the equipment even got in the back row.
An old man with a mustache and a dignified look walked slowly into the classroom carrying a briefcase.
Gray hair in hairspray, Professor Rowan dressed in a gray coat, lined with a blue velvet vest and tie, coughed and greeted in English:
"I am Rowan from Sinnoh Region, I will give you lesson today."
There was a burst of exclamation in the classroom.
Damien lowered his voice, unable to conceal the excitement on his face: "Professor Rowan is an expert on evolution, known as the Number One Person of Sinnoh Professor!"
Luke has a complex expression:" I know."
"Do you know?"
Nonsense, can Luke not know?
Isn't this the Pokémon Professor who gave the newbie Three Initial Starters in Sinnoh Region?
Excited, the students quickly calmed down and began to listen carefully.
Although the lectures are all taught in English, the majestic old man speaks in a simple way and immerses people in it.
"The history of Sinnoh Pokémon, originated from Mythological Era, can also be regarded as a microcosm of the history of world Pokémon."
"In myths and legends, the singularity formed after explosion gave birth to the oldest creation god, Arceus."
"Later, Arceus created the gods in charge of time, space and antimatter…On the third day, Arceus endowed creatures with emotion, will and knowledge… "
While everyone was immersed in it, Professor Rowan suddenly knocked on the blackboard and said solemnly:
"Perhaps many of you will never touch the history of Pokémon again in your life."
"But history is a treasure of mankind, and it is also a valuable asset for you."
Magic City University's key discipline is the major of literature and history.
Presumably this is the reason why the school invited Professor Rowan to come to teach.
While Luke was thinking, Damien elbowed Luke with a flustered face.
Professor Rowan said solemnly: "Does any of you know the name of Pokémon in these mythical epics?"
The atmosphere in the classroom is a bit tense.
After all, few people will specifically recite those obscure names.
Standing in the parallel world is like memorizing the names of several heroes in "Homer's Epic". FGO players are not completely sure that they can all be called correct.
Seeing that no one answered, Professor Rowan stroked his moustache, "It doesn't matter if you can't call right, you can talk about your views on Pokémon's historical outlook."
Looking around the classroom, Professor Rowan nodded and said: "The handsome boy in the front row, come and talk."
When it comes to the word handsome, the whole classroom focused on Luke.
Damien elbows Luke while taking pleasure in other people's misfortune, suffocating his smile crazily, smiling as if tears run across his eyes.
If it's not because of the hairline, isn't my Damien a handsome man?
"Teacher, can I answer the last question?"
"Of course."
Professor Rowan astonished and nodded, "The three gods of emotion, will and knowledge are…"
"Mesprit, Azelf, and Uxie."
Luke at a moderate pace answered.
"According to the legend, they inhabit Lake Verity, Lake Valor and Lake Acuity in Sinnoh."
The classroom is quiet.
Damien turned his head to look, the girl in the back row was looking at Luke in a trance.
Professor Rowan is slightly startled, because Luke has specially translated several proper nouns in Japanese in order to express accurately.
"…Yes, you are quite accurate!"
Professor Rowan was nodded with emotion and took the lead and clapped.
There was thunderous applause, the shutter sound of the rear camera rang, but Luke looked weird.
This is it?
Is it strange to know the name of Legendary?
I also know the ultimate moves, just telling it will scare you to death!
"Well, it is Luke, the top three scholar!"
"When did he learn Japanese? The pronunciation is so good…"
"Little Lass, are you thinking about spring?"
"Hate!"
Listening to the laughter in the back row, Damien took out a book "Java Programming Language" from his bag expressionlessly
Only by continuous learning can you become more powerful!
After class, the students passed by Professor Rowan respectfully, and Professor Rowan nodded solemnly.
A group of Teachers gathered around Professor Rowan. Luke was planning to leave, but was suddenly stopped.
"Luke, sorry, do you have any arrangements for this afternoon?"
Professor Rowan specifically named Luke.
Luke slightly startled, under the enviable gaze by the surrounding people, Damien pushed him forward.
"Hello Professor, I have no other courses in the afternoon."
Professor Rowan's brows stretched: "There are several professional courses in the afternoon. I would like to ask you to serve as a translator for your peers."
In the surrounding, there was a low voice of envy.
All those who are known as Pokémon Professors are leaders in various academic fields.
Being able to walk with them is definitely something countless people yearn for something even in dreams.
At this moment, it was Professor Rowan who invited Luke on his own initiative.
Obviously, this is Professor Rowan's favor for Luke, and he wants to give him a chance to practice!
