Chapter 290 Xia Mu's Attitude Towards Life

Chapter 290 Xia Mu's Attitude Towards Life

A stick figure holds up a sign that reads, "Master Hachisaku, my god." This seemingly perfunctory gift requires Natsuki's consent to conduct an early application test, and even specifies the destination—the dojo—to be visited.

Thinking back to Aoki's phone call complaining about Natsuki's past attempts to bribe him with fried rice, Hachisaku felt he couldn't continue to let Natsuki get away with it.

"Um—Xia Mu, although I'm not entirely sure what Aoki specifically said to you, as a teacher, I value not only students' academic achievements but also their mental health. Therefore, I hope all my students can live in this world with dignity and pride!"

"I, Xia Tanggangzhengzheng Mu, naturally know this!"

Xia Mu put his hands on his hips.

"I've always been a person who speaks my mind, even if it might offend someone. I'm not afraid to point out others' mistakes, so I think there's a big problem with your thinking. My painting was just to express my respect for you, teacher, not a bribe!"

"Of course, teacher, you're happy, so you decided to give me a small favor. That's only natural—it's not a bribe!"

'

Hachisaku's expression suddenly became very complicated.

No matter how nicely you put it, aren't you just trying to get me to pull strings for you?!

and.

Seeing Xia Mu rubbing his hands together with a sly grin, the image of "The Corrupt Official and the Evil Merchant" in Hachisaku's mind became even clearer.

He couldn't help but look up at the ceiling of the teachers' office, as if afraid that someone would jump out and shout, "You corrupt official, die!"

A female ninja.

But just as she was trying to erase the strange images from her mind and thinking about how to persuade Natsuki without hurting her,

At that moment, Xiaoyao and Ziyu, who were outside the classroom office, also saw Huangbo, the combat class teacher, rushing over.

"Hello, teacher!"

Amidst Xiaoyao and Ziyu's polite greetings, Huangbo paused and nodded slightly.

"Hello to you all!"

As she spoke, she pushed open the door to the teachers' office.

"Hachisaku, the children from Sunflower Kindergarten have arrived. The principal wants you to hurry up—what were you hiding?!"

Huangbo looked at the somewhat flustered Hachisaku with a puzzled expression.

In her memory, Hachisaku was a very calm and reliable teacher, so when she saw Hachisaku's flustered expression, her curiosity was instantly piqued.

Not to mention, there was also a notorious problem student named Natsuki by Hachisaku's side at this time.

"You two, could it be—"

"I didn't! I didn't read any erotic novels with Ms. Hachisaku and analyze their artwork and paneling, nor did I secretly create any 'most beautiful teacher' rankings!!"

Huangbo: "Hiss—"

As a typical Fighting-type trainer, Obi is a beautiful woman, but she is also a hot-blooded idiot like Ash.

Therefore, amidst the speechless gazes of Xiaoyao, Ziyu, and Bashuo, Huangbo cried out in shock.

"Ms. Hachisaku, how could you—I'm going to tell the other female teachers!"

"I don't have it—"

Just as Hachisaku was trying to explain something, Obi's tone suddenly changed.

"Unless you tell me my specific ranking first, what place am I?! By the way, could we create a teacher power ranking? Or how about we hold an intra-school teacher competition?!"

The thought of fighting alongside the other teachers made Huang Bo excitedly swing her fist twice in the air.

"People used to say that even though I'm a battle class teacher, it's only because you, Mr. Hachisaku, didn't want to be one—when in fact my skills are pretty good too!"

As a combat instructor at Orange Academy, Huang Bo's strength is naturally not weak.

Even if she couldn't easily defeat Hachisaku, one of the Elite Four, as a woman who could go toe-to-toe with Ripple, the leader of the Psychic Gym, Obi's strength was among the top of all the Gym Leaders in Padia.

This is true even at Orange Academy, a place where talented people gather.

Frankly speaking, in terms of teaching staff and teacher quality alone, Orange Academy far surpasses Blueberry Academy. Teachers from Orange Academy could serve as gym leaders in any city.

It's only because Orange Academy has a relaxed school spirit and offers a variety of courses to allow students to freely choose their future paths that Orange Academy seems less powerful than Blueberry Academy, which specializes in trainer training.

However, compared to all of this, at this moment, when Hachisaku saw that Oribaku-sensei was all fired up and ready to have a Pokémon battle with him right there in the office, he immediately stood up in a panic.

"Excuse me, I'm going to give a talk to those kindergarten kids about the path to becoming a Trainer—by the way, Natsuki, you're coming with me too!"

Hachisaku grabbed Natsuki and rushed out of the teachers' office.

As for why he pulled Xia Mu along?

The reason is that Kaneshiro is worried that if he leaves Natsuki in the office, this wicked guy will continue to ruin his reputation in front of Professor Obo.

Hachisaku is worried that one day when he returns to his family, he will see his family members looking at him with strange eyes and wondering if he will create some kind of family beauty ranking.

Amidst Hachisaku's forceful attitude, Natsuki didn't even have a chance to get close to Professor Oobaku before being dragged out of the office.

Once they were far away from the teachers' office, Hachisaku finally let go of Natsuki's hand.

"Xia Mu, I have a lot of complaints about you! It's wrong to fabricate lies about other people!"

"Yes, I was wrong!"

Xia Mu nodded obediently.

Seeing Xia Mu's obedient demeanor, and recalling Xia Mu's behavior of harming the enemy by eight hundred while losing a thousand of his own, Hachisaku now somewhat understood why Aoki had agreed to use connections to help Xia Mu.

This guy is shameless!

Compared to himself, who had been working at the school for many years, Xia Mu, who had attracted attention since arriving at Orange Academy, was the one who garnered the most attention in these rumors.

If such rumors were to spread, Xia Mu would immediately be labeled a "pervert" or something similar by those girls.

This guy has no shame at all, what can I do?

Hachisaku even had the idea of ​​simply sending Natsuki to Glass Bottle City to participate in the second round of application testing.

Even so, Hachisaku still decided to make Natsuki make some contributions in exchange for privileges through labor.

then.

In a classroom filled with children, Natsuki, as a one-day teacher, stood on the podium, where he would offer advice to these kindergarten kids as a senior trainer.

"I am Xia Mu, Blueberry Champion, and a model citizen of Liyong. (Details omitted)!"

"In short, as a trainer, I'd like to offer some humble advice: So—what do you think is the most important characteristic of a trainer? Direction!"

"Um... I think it should be a tactic used during combat, right?"

"30 points! Nini!"

"It's about love for Pokémon. Love can overcome all difficulties, no matter what kind of difficulties a princess and prince might encounter. Overcome everything with love!"

"50 points!"

Upon hearing Xia Mu's rating, Nini's eyes widened.

"How could it only be 50 points?!"

"As a trainer, you must treat Pokémon as partners and family. You not only need to love your Pokémon, but you also need to make your Pokémon love you. Pokémon have feelings too."

Hearing Xia Mu's story and seeing the children nodding thoughtfully, Hachisaku, who was standing at the back, nodded in satisfaction.

[As expected, Xia Mu is actually a good child for realizing this! Every child is a flower, needing the gardener's careful nurturing to grow strong and healthy.]

Just as Hachisaku nodded in satisfaction at Natsuki...

"but!"

Xia Mu suddenly shouted.

"The most important thing for a trainer is unwavering perseverance. You must never give up when you encounter failure. So, let's recite the spell together to overcome all difficulties!"

As he spoke, Xia Mu immediately took out the Taijing Bead and began to pose.

"My name is Xia Mu, and I am the top Pokémon trainer in Orange Academy. I can do it if I try my best. Even if I fail, it's not my fault. If I can't succeed, it's the world's fault."

"My name is Nini, and I am—"

"My name is Zheng Nan—"

"It's the world's fault if you don't want to work hard, it's the environment's fault if you're inherently bad, and it's your genes' fault if you're ugly. Don't blame yourself; just shift the blame to others."

"I don't want to—" N

"An answer that you hesitate for too long will lead to regret no matter what you choose. Since you're going to regret it anyway, just choose to be happy in the present moment."

"Hesitation—" N

"Drink when you want to drink, eat when you want to eat. Because you might not be able to eat it tomorrow. Since you're going to fail anyway, you might as well just go for it, and if you fail, you can just run away!"

Seeing the fans shouting and jumping on stools with fervent expressions, Hachisaku finally snapped out of his shock.

"Seriously, what are you teaching these kids?!"

Natsuki was eventually kicked out of the classroom by the gentle and refined teacher, Hachisaku.

As spectators who witnessed everything, Xiaoyao and Ziyu looked at Xia Mu with extremely shocked expressions.

"So this is your attitude towards life?"

"Xia Mu, you—"

For a moment, they didn't know what to say about Xia Mu.
