章 218: Chapter 212 Love Season_1
On the first day of the Battle Society's recruitment, Fang Yuan's name began to spread among the new students.
Apart from Fang Yuan, several other freshmen also attracted attention.
For example, Xu Lan, who had participated in the Little Phoenix King Cup and, as an apprentice of the Winter Dojo, had also successfully challenged and defeated an older student.
The top scholar from the Su province college entrance exams and the captain of the Wujin No.1 Middle School Team also came to Mo Da, and during recruitment, defeated an older student.
There were also other talents from different provinces who made a name for themselves on the first day.
However, what Fang Yuan was more concerned about was whether Xu Jing, the apprentice from Heavenly Heart Dojo who had competed in the Little Phoenix King Cup, and Jiang Ran from the Nan University Middle School in the Su province newcomer competition had come to Mo Da.
Among his peers from the past, only these two could pose a challenge for Fang Yuan.
...
"Have to wait until Saturday..."
Upon his return, Fang Yuan asked Director Mu and learned that the approval process was not that fast.
Whether it was about qualifying for his third Pokemon or collecting the third Pokemon from the Breeding House, he had to wait until Saturday.
"Your performance was very good. There's no rush regarding the Pokemon, you won't be missing out on anything that should be yours."
Inside the office, Director Mu sat on his chair, revealing a gentle smile. After a half-day's rumor-mongering, numerous teachers and students knew that the newcomer king from Su province had enrolled in the Research Series. Not long ago, the head of the Combat Series came to poach Fang Yuan from Director Mu.
Considering Fang Yuan, a genius Trainer, for research was quite a waste of his talent in the head of the Combat Series' opinion. If Fang Yuan were placed in the Combat Series for training, he would be able to join the school team in two years and represent Mo Da in the national competitions.
Engaging in research, even if done for a year or a year and a half, may not necessarily yield any results—it's really an abyss.
Director Mu relayed what the head of the Combat Series had said to Fang Yuan, who was unconcerned, as he had already made his choice long ago.
"However, Director Zhang has a point. Research takes too much time. You might as well put it aside for now, focus on strengthening your abilities without neglecting your major courses. The road to research is long, but the opportunity to participate in the national competitions is only available during these four years," Director Mu said.
He was worried that Fang Yuan would become arrogant because of his research paper on "Dangerous Premonition" traits, constantly seeking out unknown domains, pursuing overly ambitious goals, and neglecting the basics. Instead, he suggested that Fang Yuan should first master the major subjects, advancing his combat abilities, and progress step by step, on a secure footing.
"Director Mu, don't worry. I'll manage my time," Fang Yuan said, understanding the rationale. Director Mu feared that Fang Yuan's efforts would be scattered, ultimately pleasing neither side.
But Fang Yuan's initial intention had been very clear: to use the identity of Elves Researcher to supplement his role as a Trainer, with improving his power as the main goal.
"Let's wait for Saturday then. You were the first to successfully challenge, and by right, you should be the first to choose a Pokemon. Take this opportunity well, and you'll know then. The Pokemon rewarded by the school have top-notch potential and talent, and the research value they hold is substantial..."
...
Feeling eager, Fang Yuan returned to the dormitory, and over the next four days, he adapted to university life and got to know the Battle Society.
As a student club, the Battle Society didn't have many strict rules. It wasn't mandatory to attend regular training, meetings, or participate in club-organized activities, except for one crucial point—students must pass the practical combat assessment every semester, or they would be encouraged to leave.
Usually, students who joined the Battle Society were a minority if they did not participate in unified training. There were coaches and seniors to instruct, and club activities offered academic credits. Why not participate? However, once Fang Yuan understood this system, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Since high school, he had not been accustomed to training with others and preferred to act alone, a habit he still maintained.
As for academic credits, Fang Yuan wasn't concerned. Once his paper on the Timid Ability was published and he had that academic honor, the credits he'd receive would be equivalent to a Combat Series student winning several small tournaments. There was no need to panic.
Next, since he couldn't yet choose a third Pokemon, Fang Yuan buried himself in review and even declined meal invitations from class, department, and society.
The independent assessment for internship researchers was imminent, and if Fang Yuan didn't want to wait another year, he needed to intensify his efforts. Training Pokemon was fine, and playing games with Eevee was fine, but he felt he could temporarily ignore the networking among students.
...
On Saturday morning, President Xu Changliang of the Battle Society contacted Fang Yuan.
When Fang Yuan arrived at the fountain in the campus center, he saw the third-year senior.
"President Xu?" Fang Yuan called out twice as Xu Changliang was staring blankly at the fountain before the latter finally responded.
"Oh, you're here," Xu Changliang said, slightly startled. He continued, "Teacher Ji from the Battle Society asked me to take you to choose a Pokemon. Did you bring all your documents? The breeding house is off-campus; we'll take a taxi there."
Hearing this, Fang Yuan knew it must have been Director Mu who had contacted the Battle Society's mentor. With limited Pokemon available, being the first to choose meant he would have more options.
Fang Yuan quickly thanked him, and during the conversation, envy was evident in President Xu's tone.
"The Pokemon at Mo Da's breeding house are not numerous, but each one is carefully bred and hatched by professional Breeders. If you train them well, you might even join the university team before your third year," Xu Changliang advised.
Although Xu Changliang was the president of the Battle Society, he was aware that its members were essentially second-tier trainers of Mo Da who didn't qualify for the university team.
They might look impressive among the average students, but there was a considerable gap between them and the university team's strength.
If he couldn't make the university team selection this year, even if he did in his fourth year, he wouldn't enjoy many of the team's benefits.
And for freshmen like Fang Yuan, they were definitely geniuses who would not take long to make the university team…
"We're here."
Mo Da's breeding house was outside the main campus, only a half-hour drive away.
Fang Yuan had visited the public breeding house in Pingcheng before and thought it was large; however, Mo Da's breeding house was several times bigger.
In the game, breeding houses are just a small room with a backyard, looked after by an elderly couple, but here, it gave Fang Yuan the impression of an independent village.
"If your Pokemon becomes pregnant in the future, you can bring it here to be taken care of by Mo Da's Breeders," Xu Changliang said cheerfully. In universities, not only students have love lives, but Pokemon too, and their breeding can be even more frantic.
Every season in university is a season of love.
"Uh…" Fang Yuan gave an awkward smile.
Anyway, he was definitely not allowing Eevee to have a premature relationship.
But... he could consider finding a girlfriend for Trio Magnet Monsters; after all, Eevee knows how to enjoy life, binge-watching shows and playing games. However, Trio Magnet Monsters just train, train, train all day long, like an absolute cultivation maniac. Fang Yuan was pleased but also worried that Trio Magnet Monsters might develop some emotional issues...
Wait, aren't Trio Magnet Monsters genderless... Does Mo Da's breeding house have the all-purpose Ditto?
