The paper was handed in, but the examiner Lugia only gave half of the marks, and the other half had to be returned for an interview before the marks could be given.
Xiaoyin didn't have to face the torture of her mother's soul for the time being. She was so happy that she suddenly forgot about the anxiety before setting off, and kept asking the Thorn Dragon King to continue blowing bubbles for her.
The Thorny Dragon King woke up the sleeping Dressed Bear with a water gun, and then introduced to Xiaoyin that the Dressed Bear's strong arms and wrists were enough to give her a very pleasant "cradle" treatment.
Sure enough, Xiao Yin gave up blowing bubbles and instead entangled the dressed bear.
Seeing that Xiao Yin was acting like nothing, Luther could handle the matter in Galar with peace of mind again.
Shijana continued to win continuously, and her ranking had reached 2,300 before she knew it.
Shijana has yet to meet an opponent who can force her to use her full strength. So far, she still has a good dominance in the competition. It is basically impossible for ordinary trainers to defeat her Nidoking and Dressed Bear.
As for the two ruthless characters, the Spiny Dragon King and the Scaled Dragon, Shijana, in addition to showing off her strength, is now basically used to clean up the mess.
"What I learned from my master is to play with a big advantage and finally use the trump card to completely break your opponent's mentality. It will make the trainers watching the game fear you so much that they will be involuntarily nervous when they meet you."
Shijana held her chin up and looked innocent: "Is there no problem if I do this?"
Luther took a look at the trainers in the video who looked like they were mourning and doubting their lives. They walked out of the arena with their heads lowered. He felt that the techniques he taught seemed cruel... but they were very useful.
After all, many trainers were really nervous before facing off against Shijana. Even when they took the Poké Ball to retrieve their own Pokéballs, their shots were deflected due to trembling hands.
Needless to say, the speed of progress is remarkable. Shijana is now more than twice as strong as when she was training hard on the island. The accumulation of experience has also allowed her to rapidly improve her ability to deal with unexpected situations in battle.
Sure enough, if you want to become a strong trainer, all you need to do is to constantly challenge, respond to challenges, and then adjust your lineup.
When Luther set the requirement for Sijana to be ranked 100, he still felt that he had put too much pressure on her, but now it seems that Sijana is growing while fighting, and she can definitely achieve this goal by the end of the season.
Acerola is much inferior to Shijana, ranking just outside the 5,000th place.
The main combat force, the Night Demon, performs stably, while the Dream Demon and Shadow Doll are at a barely adequate level due to their combat experience.
The more amazing one is Duolong Qi after the evolution of Duolong Mexia.
Even Luther did not expect that Doron Mecia would evolve so quickly, and because of the excessive pressure he endured during the battle, he would evolve on the spot and reverse his attributes to kill his opponent.
The Night Demon's combat prowess is outstanding, Duolongqi has won consecutive battles, and Acerola relied on the duo of dead house to forcibly fight her way out of the fish pond and rise to new heights.
Luther can only say, don’t underestimate the dead house!
Don't read Dark Nightmare and read comics every day and sit in the library without moving.
Don't even look at Duolongqi sitting there all day long thinking about building the model, spray painting and coloring it, and then holding the finished product there and being silly and intoxicated.
When these two are serious, they can beat their opponents to pieces.
Acerola is not good at fighting, and most of her elves lack fighting experience. This tournament is their accumulation stage, and Luther does not force them too much.
Once Acerola puts together the pieces of her ghost team and improves the two weak points of Shadow Doll and Dream Demon, ordinary trainers should not be her opponents.
But what Luther is more concerned about now is the unhatched elf egg in Acerola's hand.
This is really too long.
It has been at least half a year since the trio gave it to Acerola as a gift. If it was a dead egg, Luther would still be able to accept it.
But this egg is obviously alive.
Shaking slightly every now and then, Acerola would always rush to the elf egg immediately after seeing the movement, staring at the elf egg intently, expecting to see the scene of it breaking out of the shell.
I don’t know how many times this has happened, but the elf egg has never hatched.
As if teasing everyone's patience, he teased everyone again and again.
Even Musashi himself became anxious and asked Kojiro several times if he had mistaken the elf egg.
Originally, Kojiro's answer was firm, but when he saw the elf egg's current appearance and Musashi's question, he began to doubt himself.
"It can't be a problem during transportation, right?"
"Could it be that I made a mistake with the elf egg and gave Aselora a strange elf?"
The trio was even more anxious than Acerola herself. This was the elf egg they gave to their juniors, and it was a sweet-mouthed Acerola who called them senior every day.
As a senior, I have just started pretending, but the elf egg has not hatched yet. Isn't it a slap in their face?
"Why are you so anxious? The gifts you three gave me are out of good intentions even if they fail to hatch. Are you so excited?"
Luther called Kojiro over and asked about another unrelated matter.
"Ever since the match between Caidou and I ended, Dandi has disappeared, and there are no new match records in the tournament. Do you know anything?"
Kojiro gave a high-five and looked at Luther proudly.
"You asked the right person. Although the alliance deliberately concealed the news, I learned that Emperor Dan is now on Armor Island."
Luther didn't ask how Kojiro knew it. Anyway, he had so many connections that Luther himself found it incredible.
The familiar place names made him excited.
"Armor Island is the island purchased by Ma Shide, the most famous eighteenth consecutive champion in the Galar region?"
Kojiro nodded: "Kai Island is larger than Qidao Island, and the terrain is more complex. Such a good island should not be easy to win. After all, the Galar Alliance also has selfish motives."
"However, Ma Shide was so popular at that time, so the officials still opened the door to him, and finally gave away such a treasured land."
Luther found it incredible. Based on what he knew about the Galar Alliance when he was active in Galar, if the aristocratic group in charge of the alliance were the same group as those back then...
Then they would give away a good place like Kai Island so easily?
You must know that islands like Qidao are difficult to transform. Even if someone cares about it, they will be put off due to the cost of investment. These islands are treasures in the eyes of the Sinnoh Alliance.
Not to mention that after Luther successfully managed the business, Qidao was once coveted by a certain group of people.
Although Ma Shide has the glory bonus of the past, the Isle of Armor is such a large and good place, so close to the mainland of Galar.
After so many years, Masted has maintained complete rights as the owner of the island and is not disturbed by the Galar Alliance.
Is this possible?
With the temperament of those old nobles who eat meat to protect their food, would they give up the fat meat to Ma Shide alone?
Kojiro agreed very much with Luther's words.
His family background is good, so the education he received in his early years also allowed him to understand that the friction between private territory and the will of the alliance will escalate over time.
However, Mast's purchase of the island, its operation, and its autonomy were not hindered by the Galar Alliance at all, and they were almost given the green light to do so.
This level of enlightenment is really unlike that group of petty, arrogant and arrogant aristocrats.
"There is one piece of information I have collected that seems to answer some of my doubts."
"Oh?" Luther was interested, "Tell me about it."
"There are rumors that the league's top officials asked Ma Shide to crack down on match-fixing. There is no further description of why they wanted to do so, but Ma Shide refused, and the relationship between the two parties fell to a freezing point."
"Although the official refuted the rumor and said it was a rumor, based on the time of Ma Shide's retirement, we also think of the official actions that opened the door to convenience in the island purchase incident."
"I am irresponsibly guessing... that the Galar League has some evidence that fell into the hands of Ma Shid due to the match-fixing incident. Ma Shid gave the league face, but he also had to take away the reward for shutting up."
"This is also the main reason why Kai Dao was able to avoid being touched under the noses of those nobles."
