"It would be too embarrassing if I didn't graduate from here in the end," Joe muttered under his breath.
Several people turned to see a student who looked much older than the others, still wearing a school uniform and staring blankly at a book.
Ash couldn't help but think Joe was acting foolish. "So, in your school, you only need to know this one question to graduate? Is the graduation requirement that low, or is this guy out of his mind?"
Although Ash wasn't fond of the education here, he still believed that graduating shouldn't be as simple as knowing just one question. If you don't mention what you don't know, can you really cover it up?
"No! I'm still just a Primary."
"What does 'Primary' mean?" Misty asked, confused by Joe's words.
"Primary means in actual combat, it's roughly equivalent to having two Badges. Intermediate is four Badges, Advanced has more than eight Badges, and the strength to directly participate in the Alliance Conference."
Joe explained the ranking system of their school, leaving the three of them speechless.
Misty and Brock, both Gym trainers, realized that Joe, a Primary, had at least two Badges. Yet, he was considered a poor student by his peers, and those so-called higher-level students were easily defeated by Ash. Could it be that Joe actually had more than two Badges?
If that were true, did it mean they were stronger than him? As trainers from Gyms, Misty and Brock were unwilling to admit that those students were more powerful.
Ash, in response, pulled out two Badges from his jacket. "I only have two Badges, so you're saying those guys are stronger than me?" He held the Badges between his fingers, and Joe could see them clearly, causing him to pause.
"Ah!"
Before, Joe might have thought it wasn't impressive for Ash to have two Badges, considering his school's teachings. But watching Ash easily defeat students who ranked higher, Joe felt a tremor of doubt. The reality in front of him seemed impossible, but it was undeniable.
"Forget it, I'm too lazy to explain everything. You guys who grow up in a greenhouse won't understand the meaning of travel. Misty, Brock, let's go!" Ash put his Badges away and called out to Misty and Brock, turning to leave.
"I have to advise you, this place isn't right for you. Since your parents worked so hard, why waste it here?"
After speaking, Ash turned and walked away, with Misty and Brock immediately following him.
"You came to our school to cause trouble, and now you think you can just leave?" a voice called out.
They stopped instinctively and saw a group of figures approaching. It was the boys from earlier, now surrounding a sweet-looking girl.
The girl wore a school uniform, and despite her sweet appearance, the word "arrogance" seemed to be written all over her face.
"Ah!! Sundae, The top student?" Joe gasped in surprise upon seeing her, his expression quickly turning into one of infatuation.
"Top student?" Misty frowned slightly as she looked at the girl. She was also an excellent trainer, but something about this girl made her uncomfortable.
"Her name is Yuto Sundae," Joe explained, clearly smitten. "She's called the top student because of her excellent grades, and she's the one who organizes everyone to use the 'whip of love' to help each other. Isn't she adorable?"
"What's this 'whip of love'? It's clearly bullying! And what's so cute about that? How can you be so obsessed with her?" Misty retorted, feeling unconvinced. She thought she was pretty cute herself, after all.
"Even so, she's so cute that it's okay if she has a bad temper!" Joe didn't seem to hear Misty's words, as his gaze remained fixated on Yuto Sundae, as if she had completely captivated him.
"You're right, that girl really is cute! Hehe!" Brock chimed in, blushing and grinning foolishly.
"Stop drooling!" Misty's patience snapped as she saw Brock's reaction. She stormed over, grabbed his ear, and dragged him away.
Ash also turned to look at the girl, thinking to himself, "So this is Yuto Sundae?"
She might be cute, but her personality was far from appealing. While Ash admitted she was attractive, he didn't think she was any more impressive than Misty.
"Can I help you with something?" Ash asked.
"It's nothing, really. It's just that you caused a commotion at our school and interrupted our classes, and now you expect to just leave?" Yuto Sundae stepped in front of Ash, fiddling with her hair, her brow furrowed.
She seemed slightly taken aback. In the past, every boy she encountered had shown some sort of admiration, but the boy in front of her didn't seem impressed at all.
"That's why I asked if you needed anything," Ash replied, a bit exasperated.
"I heard you defeated all five of them?" Sundae asked, glancing at the boys behind her.
She hadn't been interested in coming initially, but when she heard Ash had taken down all five, she decided to see for herself.
"Let me correct you: it wasn't just defeating them—it was a total wipeout!" Ash wasn't one to hold back when dealing with arrogant people.
Sundae noticed the embarrassed expressions of the boys behind her and seemed to realize that their version of events might have been skewed. But she didn't dwell on that now.
"It seems you're very confident in your strength."
"However, as a student of this school, I can't let you disrespect us and do nothing about it. You'll pay for your rudeness," Sundae declared, her eyes narrowing with determination.
