Chapter 597 Broken, tricked by Ye Ci

You are such a traitor!

I put so much effort into teaching you, and this is how you repay me?

Luo Mu felt dizzy and trembling with anger. He was so angry at Nimo's words that he didn't even notice the elevator door opened.

Still standing in front of the elevator door, Ye Ci's secretary, who seemed to have been waiting for a long time, reminded him, and Luo Mu finally came back to his senses.

All he could do was give Nemo, who was confused, a mild glare and walked out of the elevator.

However, Nimo's words also served as a reminder to Luo Mu.

Only then did he realize the disadvantages of having a fixed residence.

Well, once Neemo completes the championship test and obtains the status of a champion-level trainer, she will be half graduated from Grape Academy.

I don’t know if the protagonist in the game still exists. If not, wouldn’t I be in trouble for being able to arouse her interest in fighting?

Luo Mu is not averse to fighting, on the contrary he enjoys fighting.

But what he enjoys is an occasional thorough battle, rather than a tug-of-war from morning to night that brings double torture to his mental and physical strength.

No, I have to find something for Nimo to do, preferably something that can deal with her passionate opponent.

The training of the students under his command, as well as Wuli and Danyu who are scheduled to transfer to Grape College, must be accelerated!

Also, the construction of the Eco-Dome must be put on track. When the time comes, we can just run inside. Once the protective shield is closed, Nemo won't be able to get in!
Although he was frantically thinking of countermeasures in his mind, Luo Mu still followed behind Ye Ci's secretary without staggering, and walked into her office with Nimo without changing his expression.

As soon as I entered the chairman's office, I was greeted by Ye Ci's long-awaited smile.

As the office door closed gently, no one except the parties involved knew what Luo Mu, Nimo and Ye Ci talked about in the office.

Only a little later, a new notice posted on the bulletin board of Grape College immediately ignited the atmosphere on campus.

[Great news!]
On January 799, 1 of the Alliance Calendar, Nimo, a student of our school with the student number 12C803, who has successfully collected eight badges, will officially challenge the championship test of the Padiya Alliance!

At that time, the popular online anchor Qishu will cooperate with the alliance to broadcast the challenge live on the Internet.

Grape Academy, Announcement of January 799, 1 of the Alliance Calendar]

The time for Nimo's championship test has been set, and it's three days later.

During this period of time, she only needs to find time to go to the Padiya Alliance headquarters and accept a one-on-one interview with Xin Li, one of the four kings of the ground system and a part-time interviewer, and then she can directly enter the challenge process.

Luo Mu was not worried about the interview at all, just because of Ye Ci's almost unconcealed impatience in the office just now, and the way he looked at Nimo as if he was looking at some rare treasure.

He had no doubt that even if Nimo failed the interview, Ye Ci would secretly come down and personally change the score to passing.

In terms of the desire for talent, even the Galar region's Alliance President, Los, might be inferior to Yeci.

After all, as a new alliance established in recent years, the Padya League is really short of talents.

For a rare talent like Nimo, if it weren't for the procedures, Ye Ci would probably want to take her to complete the employment procedures today and sharpen her knife to hire a child laborer.

The other party is what Ye Ci desires the most, a super genius who is as gifted as Chihong, Qinglv and can win the championship as soon as he debuts.

On the way back to the battle hall, Luo Mu accidentally saw an announcement on the bulletin board that had been posted at some point, even faster than he and Nimo returned.

As he browsed the content above, Luo Mu couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

This can be called a long-planned thing, right?
This reminded Luo Mu of his experience a year ago when he challenged the Padya Alliance.

Seeing that enthusiastic look, I almost thought I was joining some legendary (silent) organization.

It was for this reason that he decided to retire. He simply couldn't bear such a heavy responsibility.

Although the experience of this year was somewhat different from what I expected, it was still a fulfilling life.

Talking about his past experiences, Luo Mu seemed to have remembered something, and suddenly asked Nimo: "By the way, do you know the detailed process of the championship test?"

She was in a good mood and walked as if with the wind. Nimo, who was already looking forward to three days later, raised her head and tilted it.

"What process?"

Nimo looked at Luo Mu blankly. Isn't it just an appointment, an interview and a battle? What other procedures are required?
Come on, I really don’t know anything.

Luo Mu, who saw through everything from Nimo's clear and confused eyes, held his forehead helplessly.

"Didn't you understand the procedures and rules of the championship test?"

Nimo shook her head honestly. Was the battle in the championship test different from her usual battles?

Do you need a real trainer to play with you?
Recalling the rules when he challenged the championship test, Luo Mu could only helplessly explain them to Nimo bit by bit.

First of all, the championship test is different from the league conferences in those regions. There is enough interval between each game and there are a lot of participants.

It was a genuine fight with several trainers who were at the top of the league.

There are four rooms of the Four Heavenly Kings in the headquarters of the Padya Alliance, and one of the Four Heavenly Kings will be assigned to guard each room.

The most orthodox procedure is to defeat the four Heavenly Kings in a six-on-six all-player battle and then proceed to the next room.

It is also worth noting that once the championship test begins, you will not be allowed to leave the room, which is the alliance headquarters.

Otherwise, the alliance has the right to directly regard it as voluntarily giving up the challenge, and the person will need to collect badges again and start all over again.

"Although before challenging each of the Four Heavenly Kings, the trainer will be given about ten to twenty minutes of rest time."

"But in essence, the challenger can only use the six Pokémon in his hand to challenge and defeat the four Heavenly Kings. After four consecutive battles, he will be qualified to challenge the top champion of the Padia League."

"This puts a huge strain on the physical and mental strength of the trainer and the Pokémon. Many people fail easily in this regard."

"Besides, the short rest and treatment time before challenging the chief champion is only about half an hour, so time is quite tight."

"How to match the team, improve endurance, and preserve strength in the battle for the next battle are all things we need to consider seriously."

"If there is a Pokémon in your team that is good at restoring status moves, it will greatly increase your calmness."

"For example, your Butterfly's "Pollen Ball" move can effectively restore the physical strength of your teammate."

Luo Mu was so serious in explaining science to Nimo that he didn't even notice when he returned to the battle hall or when he was surrounded by Papa and the others. Nimo listened with great interest, and her eyes became brighter.

This kind of battle under high pressure, challenging one's own limits, is exactly the Pokémon battle that I pursue!
Her blood is boiling!
But at this moment, a basin of cold water was poured on Mudan, who was holding a computer and checking something.

"Teacher Luo Mu, the rules you mentioned are completely wrong, right?"

As she spoke, Mudan pushed the frame of her glasses, and her little face, which was reflected by the light from the screen, raised itself up.

"Ok?"

Luo Mu turned his head and looked at Mudan alertly like a groundhog, frowning slightly.

What do you mean there is something wrong with the rules I mentioned?

Shinji and a few others, including Nemo, looked at Mudan in confusion.

Being watched by so many people, the old Mudan would probably be so nervous that she would be speechless.

But now she was exceptionally calm. She turned the laptop screen facing her towards everyone, pointed at it and said, "You should be talking about the challenge rules for the major leagues to select the new regional league champions."

Her father is the former champion of the Galar region, and her uncle is the president of the Galar region's alliance. Mudan is quite familiar with these rules.

The rules that Luo Mu just talked about to Nimo were the challenge rules that would only be used when the championship was at stake.

Even though the Padia region has established the position of "Champion Trainer", this is no exception.

The so-called regional league champion must have the strength to defeat the previous champion after fighting against four of the Four Heavenly Queens in a row.

Only then can one be qualified to be the leader of the entire alliance, take the position of the strongest and wear the crown.

Just like the regional champions Daigo and Mikoli of the Hoenn League, the regional champion Takeran of the Sinnoh League, the regional champion Adek of the Unova League, the regional champion Kalno of the Kalos League, and the regional champion Dende of the Galar League.

That's nothing like the common conference championship.

Above the conference champions, there is the Champions League, and finally the challenge of the Four Heavenly Kings and regional champions.

The champion-level trainers in the Padia region are more like being caught in a position where they have the strength to defeat the Four Heavenly Kings, but are still some distance away from becoming the league champion.

According to Mudan, she still saw the existence of several trainers who were awarded the title of champion trainer in the database she hacked into the Padia Alliance.

If it is as Luo Mu said, these people are masters who have fought against the Four Heavenly Kings and defeated Ye Ci, then why is the other party still eager for talent?
Isn’t this more profound than other regions?
The real reason is——

The rules of the championship test that these champion-level trainers challenged were completely different from what Luo Mu had just explained to Nimo.

In front of everyone, Mudan went directly to the official website of the Padilla Alliance, found the page about the championship test rules, and displayed it.

The above rules are roughly similar to what Luo Mu said, but there are fatal differences in the most critical places.

After challenging one of the Four Heavenly Kings, the challenger can rest freely until the Pokémon's state returns to normal. If necessary, he can ask the Alliance for treatment drugs or help from Miss Joy.

After challenging all the Four Heavenly Kings, the challenger can choose to take a day off, recuperate until his condition returns to its peak, and then compete with the chief champion at the battle venue at the top of the Padya Alliance headquarters.

This also means that this championship test is just a number of full-team battles over a period of time. Although it is difficult, it is not too difficult.

It can test the trainer's strength, but it is not like the league regional champion, where no one can break through for years.

Mudan remembered that in the Kanto region, ever since the previous champion stepped down and disappeared, it seemed that no one had been able to win the regional championship for a long time.

Even Adu, who was also the regional champion in the Johto region, was unable to defeat all of his colleagues and ascend to the throne of the Kanto regional champion.

After reading this information, not to mention a few students, Luo Mu was completely silent.

He even carefully looked at the publication time of the rules announcement, which was the 794th year of the Alliance Calendar, which was five years ago!

Wait a minute, what is this——

Piper hesitated and asked, "Is it the rule you use in the championship test?"

Shizuka followed suit and asked, "Didn't you ask my sisters for help with treatment?"

After these words were spoken, not to mention the gasps of shock from Pi Pa and the others who instantly realized the problem, Luo Mu's face turned completely dark.

Yes, just like the students said.

A year ago, I completed my championship test in one day.

He defeated four of the Four Heavenly Kings, including Xinli, Aoki and Yasaku, one after another. He took about ten minutes to rest in each battle, basically using medicine to restore some external injuries of the Pokémon, and then started the next challenge without stopping.

Then, after fighting the four heavenly kings in a row, he rested for about thirty minutes and then started fighting with Ye Ci, the top champion.

It was not reflected in the animation, and the rule in the game was almost a continuous battle, so he naturally thought that this rule was normal.

After all, I learned the relevant rules from Ye Ci who met me in person when I went to the Padya Pokémon League headquarters to make an appointment for the championship test.

Having learned the rules from Ye Ci, Luo Mu naturally would not waste time to visit the official website of the Padiya Alliance again.

This also means that it seems possible that I was set up by Ye Ci from the very beginning and was fooled into challenging the highest difficulty?
When he thought about how much effort he had put into not getting seriously injured, not losing any men, and preserving his strength in the battles with the Four Heavenly Kings, and trying his best to challenge Ye Ci in his prime, his brain was about to overload.

Now that Luo Mu knows the truth, he feels that he was extremely stupid at that time.

——Are you risking your life here?

In the past, he always wondered why there were so few champion-level trainers in the Padia region. Not many people could break through these rules. Did he secretly increase the difficulty for himself?
If you give yourself some time and resources to rest, you won't be left with only the Roentgen cat when facing challenges.

Luo Mu fell into silence for a moment.

Papa and the others looked at each other, and none of them wanted to offend Luo Mu.

——There were only two battle maniacs, Nemo and Shinji, whose eyes almost lit up when they looked at Luo Mu.

After defeating the Four Heavenly Kings in a row, he also defeated Ye Ci, the top champion. How cool!

Especially Nimo, she almost couldn't wait to stand up and immediately return to the chairman's office to apply to Ye Ci for a consecutive battle in the championship test!

She also wants to challenge her limits!
