Lin Jing's Arcanine, based on its skill performance and physical condition, had reached the Senior Level, and was among the stronger contestants, yet its opponent had already reached the Professional level, with a fairly solid foundation.
In all aspects, Lin Jing's Arcanine was outmatched.
However, Lin Jing's Arcanine was also quite strong.
Although its growth rate seemed slow to Fang Yuan, compared to Magic University students of the same age, like Liu Le and his crowd, it was already very formidable.
"Because this is a guidance battle between lower and upper classmen, did you not notice? The Pokemon used by every pair of contestants are all the same," Teacher Wang said.
With this reminder, Fang Yuan realized...
Oh... I'm a bit of a shrimp... Well, anyway, you don't need good vision for a Pokemon battle.
As Fang Yuan and Teacher Wang watched with interest, soon the two Arcanines launched into a battle at Extreme Speed, blurring their figures after using the move... Even without using Shadow Clones, they appeared to have countless afterimages.
"Jie Chuan comes from a police family and is a standout among the upper classmen, set to graduate and head to headquarters this year. He ranks within the top five among First Police School students in terms of strength. Although limited by the number of Pokemon he has, which kept him from taking part in the professional assessment, each one of his Pokemon is no weaker than the main Pokemon of some professional instructors; his future prospects are beyond estimate,"
Upon hearing the introduction, Fang Yuan nodded and said, "That strong? How about I have a battle with this Jie Chuan?"
Old Wang was taken aback, then said, "As you wish."
Five minutes later, Lin Jing's and Jie Chuan's battle ended, and Teacher Wang took Fang Yuan over to them.
"Teacher Wang!!"
"Teacher Wang!"
Seeing Teacher Wang approaching, Jie Chuan and Lin Jing immediately spoke up, waiting for his comments on the battle.
But the next moment, Lin Jing was stunned; she saw Fang Yuan following right behind Teacher Wang!
After blinking hard, Lin Jing said with great surprise, "Fang Yuan? What are you doing here?"
Fang Yuan smiled faintly, "Here to take part in the professional assessment, long time no see."
Upon Fang Yuan's arrival, the police school student named Jie Chuan looked at him seriously, feeling it was somewhat unbelievable. Fang Yuan looked even younger than him... Was someone of such a young age really taking part in the professional assessment? Surely it wasn't a joke?
"Professional... assessment?" Lin Jing was dumbfounded, this was over the top!
"Yes, this Student Fang Yuan has indeed come to the First Police School to take the professional assessment. Jie Chuan, are you interested in having a battle with Fang Yuan?" Teacher Wang said with a smile.
"A battle..." Jie Chuan paused, then said, "No problem from me,"
"Let's set it for half an hour from now," Teacher Wang suggested, glancing at the Arcanine. As Jie Chuan's trump card, the Arcanine hadn't taken much damage in the preceding guidance battle, but it was still somewhat drained. With a Tree Fruit, half an hour should be enough time for it to recover.
Additionally, this time would be perfect to line up some more opponents for Fang Yuan...
In the next half hour, Lin Jing took the opportunity to introduce the First Police School to Fang Yuan, while Old Wang scurried off to contact other instructors who knew Fang Yuan... saying there was a good show to watch.
Half an hour later, the situation escalated, and when word reached the police school students, it had morphed into a story of a student from Magic University coming to challenge them. One after another, the police school students clamored to take Jie Chuan's place in battle, eager to teach Fang Yuan a lesson.
"Jie Chuan is the opponent? Can this Fang Yuan win?"
"Hard to say, Jie Chuan's Arcanine has mastered the Neck Scale State and Godspeed Moves, it's not that easy to handle."
"You don't understand, win or lose, there's no downside for these students. If they win against Magic University's genius, it boosts their confidence, as well as their pride in the First Police School. If they lose, they'll realize there's always someone better out there, serving as a wake-up call. Either way, it's a good thing," Old Wang proclaimed around, and the listening instructors nodded in agreement.
Before the battle, thanks to Old Wang's promotion, quite a crowd had gathered, including curious instructors, and even Instructor Xu, who had earlier led Fang Yuan here, came with an expression of speechlessness.
She vividly remembered telling Fang Yuan not to interfere with others' training. How much time had passed? Now, the whole police school was almost turned upside down because of Fang Yuan, even a Master Level Trainer from within the school had shown up.
"Dean Miao, this..." Xu Manjie approached Dean Miao.
"No need to worry, I had already allowed Wang Yi to do this, just watch," Dean Miao said cheerfully.
Dean Miao knew of Fang Yuan's performance in the professional assessment and that he was excellent, as well as the fact that he was the individual champion of East China Division in the national competition. He was quite curious about Fang Yuan, and also wanted to see how the elite from the police school would stack up against Fang Yuan.
"Alright," Xu Manjie nodded.
...
As the battle approached, Fang Yuan and Jie Chuan arrived at the battleground, surrounded by police school students and instructors.
Huddled by Lin Jing's side were several girls of the same age, whispering and laughing, teasing Lin Jing, "Lin Jing, is this guy really your high school classmate? He's not your boyfriend, is he...?"
"Coming to challenge in their second year? Doubts about his abilities abound..."
"I'm also somewhat skeptical... I can't imagine Senior Jie Chuan losing..."
