"Did I pass the fourth assessment?"
After handing over Liu Jinbiao to the police, Fang Yuan rode Dragonite back directly.
However, Fang Yuan was rather puzzled, as Liu Jinbiao's look toward him when he left was very complex.
Shouldn't you hate me for capturing you? What's with that complicated look...could it be that after my lecture, you suddenly had an epiphany and repented?
Fang Yuan would never have dreamt that Liu Jinbiao was thinking, "Success because of Fang Yuan, downfall because of Fang Yuan..."
"You should have passed," Instructor Xu Manjie said.
"After becoming a Professional Trainer, would you be interested in studying at the First Police School? I can recommend you to join the headquarters as a transfer student," Instructor Zhou Shan quickly added.
Although they anticipated that Fang Yuan could subdue Liu Jinbiao with relative ease, the fact that he completed the assessment in only half an hour only illustrated one thing.
Fang Yuan's Pokemon, apart from being strong, were also very suitable for reconnaissance; such a Trainer was very welcome in the police system, even if he hadn't attended a police school during his undergraduate years.
"Haha, I'm not very good at enduring hardship, so I'll have to pass, but thank you for your kindness, Instructor Zhou," Fang Yuan replied with a smile.
In Fang Yuan's mind, being a police officer was busy, exhausting, and dangerous, and didn't suit him at all.
If he had been willing, he would have agreed when Officer Lin invited him to apply for the police school back when Lin Jing's father had asked.
"What a pity," Instructor Zhou Shan commented.
What a pity...
In her mind, Instructor Xu Manjie muttered to herself, you're looking at a Senior Researcher who's not even twenty years old. If they let a research prodigy like him study at the First Police School, the leaders at Mo Da would tear Zhou Shan apart...
By capturing the poacher Liu Jinbiao and bringing him to justice, Fang Yuan's assessment task was completely over!
The fourth assessment turned out to be much easier than Fang Yuan had expected. It seemed that once his abilities met the standard, any kind of assessment would be no problem at all. Fang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and began to inquire about another important matter:
"Instructor Xu, when does the fifth assessment start?"
"That depends on the arrangements from the Trainer Association Headquarters," Xu Manjie began. The First Police School was only responsible for Fang Yuan's fourth assessment, and the fifth wasn't in their jurisdiction.
After speaking, Instructor Xu looked at Fang Yuan closely, foreseeing that a new star in the Trainer Domain was about to rise slowly.
The fourth assessment wasn't a challenge for Fang Yuan, and neither would the fifth be.
"Alright, I'll wait for the news."
After finishing the fourth assessment, Fang Yuan did not plan to stay long. He was ready to return to Pingcheng, initially hoping to return together with Lin Jing, but it seemed like she and a bunch of other police school students had to stay for duty, not going home even for the Spring Festival.
Before leaving, Fang Yuan said farewell to Lin Jing, Instructor Xu, Instructor Zhou Shan, and others, as well as Teacher Wang, Dean Miao, and more.
Even during the Spring Festival, they still had to work at their respective posts. It had to be said, they were hardworking.
"Should I fly back riding Dragonite... or by plane?"
That morning, having solved the two Gear children's issues using his Senior Researcher status, Fang Yuan pondered.
With that status, both Gear children, like the Rotom in his phone, were registered under Fang Yuan's lab.
Being a Senior Researcher, Fang Yuan could own more Pokemon than a Master Level Trainer possibly could.
"I'm going for it! There's a first time for everything, this time I'll try having Dragonite fly me long distance at top speed," Fang Yuan decided.
"Consider it part of my own training."
After making up his mind, Fang Yuan immediately had Rotom search for air traffic routes that allowed Pokemon to fly.
...
Pingcheng, the starting point for flying.
"Dragonite, let's go," Fang Yuan said as he and Dragonite passed through security, a physical examination, and license verification, finally obtaining the flying permit.
However, due to Fang Yuan's relatively short duration as a licensed pilot, they had to undergo more physical examinations at several stopovers before reaching their destination, mainly to check Dragonite's stamina.
"Boo-wooo~~~~~" Dragonite spread its wings, waiting for Fang Yuan to climb on.
The service staff, watching Fang Yuan depart, were secretly astonished. Having worked here for so long, it was still their first time seeing a Pokemon like Dragonite.
Moreover, Fang Yuan's license privileges were also quite impressive, allowing him the highest level of flight altitude and speed limits…
With less than half a year registered on his license, yet at the highest level… Fang Yuan was very proud of himself. He swore he hadn't used any backdoor connections; it was purely because of Dragonite's superb flying skills, which allowed for sleek flying even while carrying a newbie like him.
Even those Professional Trainers who specialize in Flying-type Pokemon, if they were to compete in an aerial race against Fang Yuan and Dragonite, they might not necessarily win against them.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~~
Riding on Dragonite's back, enveloped by the gentle breeze, although his ears buzzed at first, after getting accustomed to it, Fang Yuan began to relax and enjoy the constantly changing clouds beside him, feeling fortunate for his wise decision to tame the Quick Dragon Envoy.
Even those Master Level Dragonites from Dragon Island who lead their lineage might not have flying skills superior to his own Quick Dragon Envoy.
"Comfortable," he said.
The most important thing was that riding on Dragonite did not tire Fang Yuan out. Instead, he could afford to contemplate other matters.
Right now, Fang Yuan was wondering which area he would be assigned to for the fifth assessment.
Whether it was near a super small or small secret location in a remote area, or near a medium-sized secret location in an important area.
Fang Yuan was quite expectant of the fifth assessment because it meant another opportunity to enter a secret location.
If the fourth assessment required the Trainer's knowledge, experience, and ability to fight against criminal forces,
Then the fifth assessment demanded the Trainer's ability to independently explore secret locations.
In Fang Yuan's understanding, if the fourth assessment was a test of PvP, then the fifth was a test of PvE…
At this point, the person being assessed could be called a Practicum Professional Trainer.
The entire process would have the assessor go to a Trainer Association in an area marked by the emergence of a secret location for an internship. During this stage, the assessor would enjoy the privileges of a Professional Trainer, gaining access to explore these secret locations.
For most ordinary Trainers, this would be their first opportunity to enter a secret location before becoming a Professional Trainer.
However, a Trainer like Fang Yuan, who stumbled into a secret location during his New Trainer stage and even trained in the Spirit World Mystery under the Champion's personal guidance, could not be regarded as normal.
"I hope it's a secret location rich with rare resources…" he murmured.
Fang Yuan had just passed the fourth Professional Assessment, and tomorrow was the Spring Festival. He believed the fifth assessment wouldn't come immediately.
Having become the champion of the individual competition in the East China Division of the National Championship, Fang Yuan also believed that the Trainer Association wouldn't be so rigid as to schedule the assessment during the competition dates. If they did, the leaders of Mo Da would probably be the first to panic…
Therefore, the fifth assessment was very likely to take place after the National Championships had ended.
