After bidding farewell to his senior, Su Shan Shan.
Shi Yi went to the cafeteria for breakfast.
On his way back.
He ran into some classmates and chatted with them for a bit.
He walked all the way to room 402.
Shi Yi opened the door and saw Pang Dun and Qin Xiang still asleep.
He picked up the gong on the table and banged it a few times, "Dong dong dong."
"What happened? What happened?! Is there an earthquake?!"
Pang Dun was startled awake.
Qin Ze also jumped out of bed and shouted, "Damn! Eleventh Boss, what are you doing? It's so early in the morning, you're banging gongs and drums, do you want me to sleep or not?"
"It's eight o'clock! The freshman class competition starts soon!"
Shi Yi reminded them.
The two finally realized that the class competition was scheduled for 8:30 am in the school's arena.
"Haha... You're always reliable, Yi Ge."
"Eleventh Boss, I admit that I was a little too loud, my bad!"
After getting out of bed, the two apologized to Shi Yi and expressed their gratitude.
Shi Yi then pulled out another trump card, "Here, I brought you guys breakfast."
"The breakfast at Linhai University's cafeteria is pretty good, with a lot of stuff, and it's delicious."
Hearing that.
The look in the two's eyes was clear to Shi Yi.
It was the look of looking at a father figure.
"My father figure, I bow to you! *2"
The two were about to kneel down and kowtow to Shi Yi.
"Get out, get out, get out, hurry up, don't delay me from going to the freshman competition."
Shi Yi gave each of them a kick, motioning them to stop being so dramatic.
"Alright *2!"
The morning in the boys' dorm was always busy.
Even if everyone overslept, they could still complete the process of changing clothes, washing up, and eating breakfast within five minutes.
Around 8:10, the three arrived downstairs of the dormitory building.
They walked together towards the school's battle arena.
Along the way, there were other male students from other dorms.
They all looked spirited and full of vigor.
They were determined to become the standouts in the eyes of the female students.
As long as they could perform well in today's freshman competition.
Then, in the coming period, they would definitely have priority in choosing a mate.
In the eyes of freshmen... especially boys, this was considered the most important thing.
After about five minutes.
They arrived at Arena Number Three.
Linhai University was a school that focused on cultivating students' battle skills.
Therefore, it had set up four battle arenas.
Shi Yi's Battle System Class 1 was all gathered at Arena Number Three today, to participate in the intra-class freshman sparring competition.
"Eleven!"
As soon as he stepped into the Arena Number Three's hall, Shi Yi heard a familiar female voice.
Ran Wei ran to Shi Yi's side, under the gaze of many male students.
For a moment.
Shi Yi felt a sense of immense malice.
It felt like... if gazes could kill, he would have died a thousand times over.
"Hey, good morning, Ran Ran."
Shi Yi and Ran Wei had been classmates since childhood, and their relationship was far beyond that of ordinary people.
"Morning."
"Eleven, did you have breakfast? I brought some for you..."
"I already ate."
Shi Yi cut her off before Ran Wei could finish her sentence.
"Ah? That's too bad."
Ran Wei shrugged, not saying anything more.
But in her heart, she was a little upset, thinking... You already had breakfast? You didn't even call me for breakfast! Hmph! Big Pig Hoof!
Five minutes passed.
Their homeroom teacher, Qin Hong, walked in from the main entrance of the battle arena.
At this point.
The students of Battle System Class 1 were all seated in the audience of the arena.
Seeing Qin Hong walk in, they all lined up in front, one by one.
As if they were waiting for the start of the freshman competition.
"Good morning, everyone." Qin Hong greeted them first, then said, "The rules for the freshman competition were sent to the class group last night, I'm sure you've all read them, I won't go over them again."
"So... shall we begin?"
Qin Hong glanced at everyone, as if asking for the opinion of the students of Battle System Class 1.
"Good!"
All the students were spirited and full of anticipation for today's battle.
Regarding... the rules of the freshman competition, Shi Yi had also taken a look at them last night.
It was just a few regular competition rules.
The competition format was one-on-one, until one side's Pokémon lost its ability to battle, or the trainer voluntarily surrendered, the battle would end.
It was worth noting that the freshman competition specifically stated:
No finishing off the opponent's Pokémon!
After all.
Everyone's Pokémon were newly acquired, not long ago, and their strength wouldn't be very strong.
At this time, if there was a Pokémon with strong strength, and it could finish off the opponent's Pokémon in a situation of overwhelming strength... that scene might be a bit gruesome.
Regarding this rule.
Shi Yi felt it was a bit like it was targeted at him?
With the level of his mother, Kangaskhan, it would definitely be a stomp in the freshman competition.
Therefore, Shi Yi had specially instructed Kangaskhan this morning, to stop at the right time in each battle, to let the opponents have a chance, to defeat them, but not finish them off.
...
"The first battle... Xu Duo Duo against Ning Rong Rong."
Qin Hong was not only the homeroom teacher of Battle System Class 1 but also a skilled Pokémon referee.
Besides organizing today's freshman competition, she also had to take on the role of referee.
Xu Duo Duo and Ning Rong Rong, hearing Qin Hong's call, walked onto the battle field.
Both of them were on a battle field for the first time, nervous as hell, they didn't even know where to stand, or how to position their hands.
With Qin Hong's encouragement.
The two sent out their respective starter Pokémon.
Psyduck and Caterpie.
"So, it's a specialty of the Xi Xi Wetlands Secret Realm?"
Shi Yi sat in the audience, a slight smile playing on his lips.
In the Xi Xi Wetlands Secret Realm.
Water-type Pokémon were mostly Psyduck, Flying-type Pokémon were mostly Pidgey, and Bug-type Pokémon were mostly Caterpie.
These three Pokémon, apart from the Magikarp that no one would capture, were the most commonly captured Pokémon.
"Achoo—! Achoo—!"
Lin Feng, sitting four or five seats away from Shi Yi, sneezed a few times, for no apparent reason.
...
The battle on the field was about to begin.
Xu Duo Duo and Ning Rong Rong didn't have any combat experience.
As soon as they started, they kept making their Pokémon wag their tails/spin silk.
This caused the audience in the stands to burst into laughter.
Of course.
Being able to get into Linhai University meant that both of them had decent academic performance.
But real combat was different from theoretical knowledge on paper.
To achieve good results in real combat.
Besides the strength of the Pokémon itself, the trainer's mental fortitude was also crucial.
Right now, the mental fortitude of these two was as fragile as paper.
In the end.
After the Caterpie used its silk to wrap the Psyduck up like a mummy.
Qin Hong announced with a bit of helplessness that Ning Rong Rong had won the first battle and advanced to the next round.
