Chapter 179 Peony and Her Eevee Friends
"Is Babu Tubo alright? I'm so sorry."
After "tenderly cuddling" with the evil spirit, Ze Shu walked towards Nemo, who seemed somewhat incredulous, and apologized to Babu Tubo, who was sleeping peacefully.
After all, it's just cutting.
To beat an opponent's Pokémon like that in front of everyone is really a bit too much and makes the opponent... probably lose face.
But Nemo shook her head, not minding at all, and instead said:
"It's fine!"
"This kind of injury should be manageable for Babu Tubo!"
As she spoke, a fierce light suddenly blazed in her eyes as she looked at Ze Shu, and she said in a rather high-pitched voice:
"You're really amazing!"
"I really want to have a good fight with you! If it weren't for the fact that you're a new student and have a lot to do, I'd love to have another epic battle with you right now!"
Nemo suddenly grasped Ze Shu's hand, her gaze intense, and continued passionately:
"But no matter what."
"Since we're in the same school, we should still be able to keep in touch. I'll continue to challenge you and fight against you! Is that alright?"
Ze Shu was stunned for a moment, his hand gripped tightly by Nemo in her excitement.
This battle-crazed "iron-willed crush" Nemo...
After this battle, they won't just keep targeting him, will they?
Ze Shu pulled his hand away, not wanting to knock Nemo down directly, so he said:
"Hmm...it should be possible."
After all, he was hired as a combat instructor, so sparring with his students should be part of his job.
Upon hearing his words, Nemo's eyes lit up with surprise:
"Yay!"
"However..." Ze Shu paused before explaining, "Nemo, you must have misunderstood something. I'm not an enrolled student, I'm a teacher. Um, a teacher in the combat department, currently in the process of starting my job."
Nemo: "?!"
She looked at Ze Shu's youthful face, somewhat shocked:
"You're a teacher...??"
Ze Shu nodded and smiled:
"Yes. During working hours, which is also during class time, you can come to me anytime for a consultation, and I should be able to."
"As for time outside of work... well, if possible, I still don't want to 'work overtime'..."
After Nemo put away her puffer and left to find the infirmary, many of the students who had been watching dispersed. But even after leaving, they were still shocked by the unfamiliar face of Ze Shu, who had defeated the famous senior Nemo.
I imagine that soon rumors will circulate throughout the school about the strange man who defeated Senior Nemo.
"Mr. Zeshu, it seems this battle will establish a lot of prestige for your future teaching." Aoki walked over, and even though it was a joke, it still sounded so weak and listless.
"The purpose of this battle is to let you, Mr. Zeki, experience the allure of Taijinghua. Although I don't know what your experience has been like, Mr. Zeki."
But, Mr. Ze Shu, you've given me quite a surprise.
Aoki looked at Egui, who was timidly holding Zeshu's hand.
"This kind of...extraordinary crystallization is truly unprecedented."
"It doesn't seem like the Pokémon underwent crystallization, but rather... the mask was crystallized, and then the Pokémon used the power of the crystallized mask?"
With the perspectives of Aoki and Tenno, they could naturally see some details and make some guesses.
He continued:
"This special kind of crystallization might be helpful for the development of the crystallization combat system, after all, crystallization has only been around for a few years. May I report the details of this battle to Ye Ci, as well as Dr. Fu Tu and Dr. Orin who developed the crystal beads?"
"I believe that Dr. Fortu and Dr. Orlin will be quite interested."
Ze Shu readily agreed: "Of course."
After all, even if he refused, the news of the fight would definitely spread. Aoki's words, however, were more of a gesture of respect.
And to inform them of the situation.
"but...""
Ze Shu hesitated for a moment before saying:
"I suspect that this highly crystalline form is a unique ability of the Evil Spirits. If we want to popularize it, you might be disappointed."
Aoki nodded: "I understand."
"Next, please enter Orange Academy. This is the final step—on-the-job registration."
Ze Shu: "Okay."
Passing through the main gate and following Aoki into the Orange Academy, one is greeted by a spacious and well-decorated main hall. This hall connects to the school library, and to the left, one can see rows of bookshelves, with students searching for or browsing among them.
You can faintly smell the unique scent of ink and paper that belong to books.
The reception desk is located directly opposite the main entrance.
It's connected to the school's internal systems, and all sorts of things need to be registered and processed there. That's why Aoki brought Zeki here to start his job.
However, there were quite a few students gathered here to handle some business. Most of them were probably those who had gone out to watch Ze Shu and Nemo fight. As for how they knew, it was because they all gasped in surprise when they saw Ze Shu.
"Yes, please understand. There was an accident at Orange Academy before, the principal resigned, and many teachers and staff left. The school doesn't have many staff, so there are some... extra tasks."
"We only found a new candidate to serve as principal recently, and he's been so busy that he hasn't been able to find the time to welcome you, Mr. Ze Shu."
Aoki covered his head in distress and immediately offered to help Sawaki "cut in line".
Ze Shu shook his head: "Never mind, it's nothing, we'll just wait a bit."
Cutting in line is no big deal.
Aoki said apologetically, "Please, Mr. Sawaki, find a seat first. Never mind, I'll go help out at the front desk."
So, Aoki frowned, sat down at the front desk, and temporarily became a worker.
Ze Shu glanced at the library on the side and chose to rest in the library on the second floor.
The second floor is much quieter than the first floor. There are quite a few seats here, presumably for students to rest and read.
Sawaki sat down at the table and released his six tails, which were filled with longing in their eyes.
Take out a snack.
But it was given to the Ice Eevee and Urgot that were next to it.
"Ou Ming?!"
This infuriated Six-Tails. Seeing Zeju's amused expression, it immediately jumped off the table and ran away, determined not to let Zeju rub it. Glaceon, as the "caring big sister," was worried about its safety... well, perhaps more worried about it causing trouble, so it followed after it.
At this moment, Higana exclaimed in surprise, "The environment is so nice! Ze Shu, are you a teacher here? I want to be one too. I've heard that there's a great need for teachers right now, maybe I can become one too!"
Upon hearing Higana's words, Zeshu did not respond, but instead gave her a strange expression.
Xiao Lan also looked strange, her lips trying to close but unconsciously curling up slightly.
Higanbana: "???"
Isn't this mockery? This is definitely an attitude of mockery!
"Damn it, don't look down on me! I... I'm capable of being a teacher too!" Higana said angrily.
Ze Shu: "For example?"
Higana paused, then hesitated, "For example, for example..."
She made a few suggestions, her mind racing – what skills did she have that she could teach?
As children of meteors, you're familiar with the Hoenn mythology? But this is Paradia!
Fight? Become a combat instructor? Her strength seems sufficient, but her fighting style is more instinctive. If you were to ask her to give a theory…
If you explain it clearly, Higana might just recite an attribute counter chart for you on the spot.
One might still get it wrong.
What other merits does she possess that allow her to teach people?!
Xijiana thought for a long time but still couldn't figure it out, and her face turned red with anxiety.
Ze Shu suddenly said, "Like your skill at stealing?"
Higanbana: "Yes! That's it!"
But after responding reflexively, she realized that it was Ze Shu teasing her.
Higana's face immediately turned red.
"Hmm!" She turned her head away, stubbornly insisting, "That's because I have many hidden strengths that aren't easily noticeable, not easily noticeable!"
Zeki: "Yes, yes, yes..."
Xiao Lan smiled and said, "At least Xijiana, your quality of 'living strong' is something we can all learn from."
Higana made a frustrated "uh".
She playfully nuzzled the baby in her arms and mumbled, "I'll take that as a compliment, Xiao Lan!"
"Buee!!!"
Suddenly, a hurried voice came from the side, and a blue figure flashed. Glaceon pounced into Zeju's arms, looking startled. Behind Glaceon was Vulpix, which had followed it earlier out of concern for its safety.
And... a girl.
Her appearance was quite distinctive: red and blue hair, a loose sweatshirt, and a fluffy Eevee backpack. At this moment, her hands were tucked behind her back, and her face showed unease.
It must have been this girl who "scared" Eevee so much that it ran back into Zeki's arms.
Zeshu immediately asked her, "What do you want to do to my Eevee?"
"ah...""
Peony was startled by this question, and she hurriedly explained,
"I, you, hello, I... I just want to make friends with this cute Glaceon."
She spoke in a low, timid voice.
Only then did she reveal her hands, which had been behind her back. In each hand were several props: a hair brush, various toys, and snacks. She was quite well-prepared.
Ze Shu looked at the Ice Eevee in his arms and asked, "Really?"
Ice Eevee shook its head vigorously, its face filled with terror:
"Bu-i! Bu-i!"
That's not closeness at all!
That's not about "making friends"!
No one sees you as if you've found some rare and precious object, and immediately pulls out a bunch of things, then walks straight towards you with a heart-shaped expression!
Peony said nervously, "I...I'm so sorry. Maybe, maybe my way of getting close was wrong and startled Eevee...I...I really like Eevee Pokémon. I just wanted to pet it."
"I...I didn't mean to..."
Ze Shu knew, of course, that she didn't mean it.
After all, he recognized who this "girl" was—Peony, an Eevee fanatic whose team consisted entirely of Eevee's evolved forms; she was also a computer genius who could hack into the League network and obtain all the materials needed to exchange for TMs.
Yes, and her other identity.
She is the true boss behind the "villainous organization" of Padia—Team Star, Cassiopeia.
Zeshu comforted the frightened Ice Eevee.
Well, actually, Glaceon wasn't scared at all. After all, with its courage, how could it be frightened by a mere comb?
It was just Glaceon using this opportunity to act cute towards Itachi.
Ze Shu shook his head with amusement, looked at the seat next to him, and said to Mudan:
"Hmm, shall we have a seat first?"
Peony: "Okay, okay..."
She sat on a chair to the side, looking extremely restless. But despite this, she kept glancing at Glaceon lying in Ze Shu's arms, as if Glaceon was the one she longed for but could never have.
Although she already has six Eevee evolutions, Glaceon is not among them.
Peony, as if admitting her mistake, timidly said, "I... I can compensate Ice Eevee for its emotional distress!"
Ze Shu:
"......"
Is this considered extortion?
He sighed and said, "Glass Eevee's fear is feigned. Don't be fooled by it. You don't need to pay compensation."
Ice Eevee puffed out its cheeks and rubbed against Zeki, calling out, "Eevee! Eevee!"
What are you pretending for? It was clearly genuinely startled for a fraction of a second!
Peony was stunned for a moment: "Ah... is that so...?"
Zeshu: "Yes. So, may I see your Eevee?"
peony:"?!"
She hadn't expected that "so" would be this request.
Ze Shu laughed and said, "You like Eevee so much, you must have an Eevee, right? Coincidentally, I also like Eevee, hmm, Ice Eevee."
The Ice Eevee in his arms squinted its eyes happily:
"Bu~Bu-ee!"
Ze Shu's words made it extremely happy.
Glaceon was feeling so happy, but then, after Peony released her six different Eevee, Glaceon saw Zeju put it down and immerse itself in the group of Eevee. It touched the sensitive ribbon of the Sylveon on the left and rubbed the warm fur of the Flareon on the right, just like a monarch indulging in the pleasures of the harem.
Glaceon: "Eee?!"
It stared wide-eyed at Ze Shu as if he were a faithless man.
Hmph! A bunch of 'flashy sluts', Ze Shu will still like them in the end!
—Glass Eevee comforted itself in this way.
Peony stared blankly as Ze Shu 'recklessly' rubbed her Eevee creatures, and she truly believed that Ze Shu also liked Eevee.
only.
Why is her Eevee so close to Sawaki?!
And the Ice Eevee that she wanted to get close to, because it was she who released these "seductive and slutty" creatures, ignored it even more!
"Hmm..."
And under this "unfair" treatment.
Because she was timid and shy, Peony remained silent and just watched Zeshu fuss with her Eevee companions.
"Peony, have you ever considered opening a coffee shop?"
As Zeshu kneaded Ye Yibu until it made a loud snorting sound, he suddenly spoke up.
peony:"?"
Ze Shu laughed and said, "Ibu Cafe will definitely be popular."
Peony made a soft "hmm" sound, only murmuring:
"Am I likable...?"
Can someone who has also been a victim of "school bullying" be likable...?
Her eyes lowered, concealing her disappointment, and she simply said:
"If it really could be done"
"Maybe it will open..."
Just then, a jingling sound came from the front desk below. Peony looked down and said urgently, "It's my turn in the front desk queue!"
I... I have to go take care of some business... I'm sorry...
Ze Shu nodded and replied, "Okay."
Peony then put away her Eevee creatures and hurriedly went to the front desk, where she was doing something in front of Aoki, who had dark circles under his eyes and was helping with front desk work.
On the second floor, they picked up the Ice Eevee and comforted the encouraging creature, Zeju, because of the distance.
All I could hear were words like "leave of absence," "exchange student," and "Galar."
