Chapter 4: The Principal Changes His Tune!
1084 Words
"Greninja, Double Team, Water Shuriken!"
Commanding Greninja, Mu Hsu showed no signs of being inexperienced.
In the era of video game Pokémon XY, Mu Hsu's top Pokémon was precisely Greninja.
And this Pokémon was familiar with the skills it possessed, which Mu Hsu had learned through the help of the system.
"Kura!"
At Mu Hsu's command, Greninja immediately entered a combat state.
This guy usually likes to daydream, but as soon as he enters combat, he empties his mind and goes all out!
Double Team and Water Shuriken were Greninja's signature skills.
Instinctively, Greninja instantly created a dozen or so duplicates and simultaneously condensed powerful water shurikens in each duplicate's hands.
"Sceptile, use Lightning Flash to avoid the attack, then use Leaf Blade!"
"Kiamo!"
Having been with Mr. Yu for many years, Sceptile's combat instincts were impeccable.
With a flash of white light, he quickly dodged out and moved back and forth, preparing to avoid the upcoming attack.
However...
Bang!
The gap in strength is not easily bridged.
Almost instantly, Sceptile was hit by Greninja's attack and flew backwards.
Grass-type resistance against Water-type attacks had its limits when facing a significant disparity in strength.
An ace peak-level Sceptile trying to resist an entry elite-level Greninja's attack was clearly not enough.
Boom!
At the moment when Sceptile was knocked flying, Mu Hsu shouted: "Dark Pulse!"
Greninja attacked simultaneously!
The black aura hit Sceptile again before he could react.
When the smoke cleared, the winner had already been determined.
"Huh?"
"Ah!"
"Ah~"
Everyone gaped in surprise at Mu Hsu.
Mr. Yu was even more shocked, staring at Mu Hsu without blinking.
What kind of monster is this?
This terrifying battle rhythm, this powerful Greninja, is this kid a freak?
"Entry elite-level!"
The experienced old principal immediately judged the true strength of Greninja.
His words made the already incredibly shocked school leaders even more shocked!
【Ding! Pokémon sign-in system Greninja mission (1) completed! Complete a Pokémon battle with Greninja at Middle School of Feng City - reward Greninja for Bond Transformation!】
The sudden sound of the system made Mu Hsu momentarily confused.
What the hell is this?
Damn system, you really tricked me. I don't want to get stronger, so what's the use of rewarding Greninja with a Bond Transformation? Even if you give me more transformations, I won't become a Trainer. Forget it, system, give it up!
This system actually managed to trick me without me noticing. Mu Hsu gnashed his teeth, constantly complaining about the system, completely forgetting about managing his facial expressions.
Seeing Mu Hsu's dissatisfied expression even after winning, Mr. Yu, who had just lost, was baffled. What's the matter? Didn't you get enough excitement? As a renowned Ace Trainer, he wasn't even worthy of being your opponent?
Alright, I guess I'm not worthy.
Helplessly recalling Sceptile, Mr. Yu shook his head and prepared to step down from the stage.
At this moment, something unexpected happened.
The flamboyant Greninja, which was posing on the stage, suddenly turned around, facing Mu Hsu, and knelt down on one knee.
"Kura!"
[This one is Greninja, paying respects to the my master!]
At this moment, Greninja changed its address to Mu Hsu. Not "Young Master" but "My Master."
After a short collaboration during the battle, Greninja had sensed Mu Hsu's composure, the casual demeanor, and the confidence in strategic planning. In certain aspects, Greninja even felt that Mu Hsu, this young master, might be more outstanding than his father.
Therefore, this moment of loyalty truly represented Greninja's recognition of Mu Hsu.
It was no longer just obeying Mu Hsu's father's orders; it was genuinely willing to follow Mu Hsu, the master.
Mu Hsu nodded, walking forward to help Greninja up. At the moment their hands and Greninja's body made contact, a white light suddenly emanated from Greninja—it was the Bond Transformation!
"Endure it, don't reveal this form."
Mu Hsu whispered. At the moment, with so many people around, there was no need to expose this trump card so easily.
Even if it had to be revealed, it should be after he had built up considerable strength.
Greninja felt a strong force surging from within his body and instinctively wanted to accept it.
But on hearing Mu Hsu's words, he immediately calmed down.
Obeying orders is the most basic quality of a good ninja.
Overcoming the attraction of the power within him, Greninja stopped his transformation.
The school teachers only saw a flash of light on Greninja's body and then nothing, so they didn't pay much attention.
Could it be that Greninja was about to evolve again?
You never know, but actually...
"So, now I can drop out, right?"
Mu Hsu walked over to the school leaders with Greninja in tow, sounding a little helpless.
Since he was expelled from school by the system and had pushed Greninja to become stronger as a result, he could still accept it if he could quit school.
After all, Greninja was already very strong, so even if he became stronger, it wouldn't be a problem as long as he didn't become a trainer.
It wasn't a big deal.
"You want to drop out?"
The school leaders fell silent at this question, except for the old principal who stepped forward and spoke up.
He walked over with a puzzled look on his face and said slowly:
"What do you mean drop out? Who said that?"
He looked at the vice principal first and then at Mr. Yu.
Finally, he stroked his beard gravely and took out a small notebook.
"I remember you came to apply for a one-year leave of absence."
"Just come back for the exam before the national college entrance examination next year. That's how it is, right?"
Upon hearing these words from him, Mr. Yu immediately reacted.
He nodded quickly and said: "That's right, Principal Liu."
Mu Hsu was somewhat dumbfounded.
This old scholar guy, wasn't he supposed to stick to his words? How could he casually retract his statements?
"Well, I think, for a talent like Mu Hsu, going to school indeed delays his development. How about this, let Mu Hsu represent our school in the national high school league. If he wins and brings honor to our school, taking a year off doesn't seem unreasonable."
It was the principal’s words who cut to the chase. With this statement, everyone else immediately echoed in agreement. Only Mu Hsu stood there in a daze. What league? What winning? I didn't agree to this, did I?
