Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 17, "Ordinary" Lesson
I thought meeting Ah Quan was the only unexpected thing that happened today, but I didn't expect to be proven wrong so quickly.

"Good morning, Teacher Jinghe."

When he arrived outside the classroom, he saw Daigo, Dujuan, and another red-haired girl waiting for him at the door with books in their arms.

"you?"

Jinghe was somewhat surprised to see the two of them.

He remembered that neither Steven nor Cuckoo had signed up for the elective course "Pokémon Psychology".

"Teacher, we all feel that we don't know enough about our own Pokémon, so we added your elective course to our course," Steven explained with a smile.

Fill in the missing information?

Jing He glanced at the two of them.

Does the Pokémon Academy in Kanazono have a "fill in" option?
He shook his head; he didn't understand the world of the wealthy. He then turned his gaze to the red-haired, beautiful, and well-proportioned girl. "And this student is..."

"Hello, Teacher Jinghe. My name is Yasha, and I come from Fuyan Town."

Before Du Juan could introduce her, Ya Sha stepped forward and introduced herself with a bright and sunny smile.

Fuyan Town. Asha
Isn't this the future leader of the Fuma Dojo?
A fiery red-haired girl
He's someone with a rather unusual background.

If Jinghe remembers correctly, this future Fubuki Gym Leader, Aysa, was the grandfather of one of the previous Hoenn League Elite Four!

"Hello."

Jing He smiled and nodded, but couldn't help but mutter to herself.

'A future league champion, the current heir to the Devon Corporation. The daughter of the Gym Leader of the largest city in the Hoenn region, and the next Gym Leader. The granddaughter of a former Elite Four member, also the next Gym Leader. Well, this really is an 'ordinary' elective course.'

The group didn't linger at the door for long. After a brief greeting, they went into the classroom one after another.

The school bell rang at that moment.

Standing on the podium, Jinghe took in the entire classroom.

Aside from the three "accidents" involving Steven and his friends, the "Pokémon Psychology" course was generally quite "normal".

Even though it was a small classroom, it had forty or fifty seats, but even with Daigo and the other two, it was only about half full.

Furthermore, apart from Daigo, Cuckoo, and Aya, most of the other students sat at the back of the classroom, resulting in a jarring "Mediterranean" divide in the middle of the classroom.

For most of the students present, "Pokémon Psychology" was just a relatively unpopular elective course that was easy to earn credits in.

As long as you attend classes on time and don't leave early or skip classes, with the added benefit of "class participation points," getting credits isn't too difficult.

In fact, this has always been the case with "Pokémon Psychology" courses, because the Academy did not attach much importance to this course, and everything was decided by the instructor.

This is one of the reasons why Jing He, despite being a member of Hoenn, chose to apply to Shirogane University.

He gave a brief greeting and self-introduction, then picked up his books and began lecturing methodically.

Although "Pokémon psychology" has the prefix "Pokémon" in it, it is actually still psychology at its core.

Psychology, a subject that requires a lot of memorization, is actually very boring. Not to mention the students in the back who were prepared to slack off, even Daigo and his two friends in the front frowned after listening to part of it.

Especially Asha, who is supposed to be a "passionate girl", was yawning at the moment and had no enthusiasm at all.

To be honest, these dry, boring, and even redundant theoretical knowledge once caused Jinghe a lot of trouble.

Memorizing all the above content only gives you the key to unlock the door to psychology; if you don't thoroughly understand it, it's as if you haven't learned anything at all.

However, as this was the first Pokémon psychology class for the new students, they were relatively restrained and did not openly lie down on the table to sleep.

As for the few students who were so sleepy that their eyelids started to droop, Jinghe decided to lend them a hand.

Excuse!
A tall, thin boy sitting in the corner of the classroom suddenly stood up.

His forehead was covered in cold sweat, his pupils were dilated, and he was breathing heavily, as if he had encountered something extremely terrifying.

"What's your question, young man?"

Jinghe wasn't surprised by the boy's reaction; instead, she asked with a smile.

"No, no, I'm sorry, teacher."

The boy seemed to realize he was in a classroom at that moment, and quickly sat down, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

His reaction surprised the students around him. After asking in hushed tones, they learned that the boy had almost fallen asleep, but as soon as he closed his eyes, he had a very short but terrifying nightmare that woke him up!

This wasn't just happening to this boy; it also occurred to two other boys. Therefore, this first Pokémon psychology lesson went surprisingly smoothly, with no one falling asleep.

For a psychology teacher, this is already a success!
When the bell rang, Jinghe slammed her book shut, said "get out of class dismissed," and quickly walked out of the classroom without looking back.

The main focus is on punctuality.

Q&A after class?

Think more.

This is university; if you want to learn something, you have to take initiative.

Knowledge doesn't just magically enter your head.

This was naturally a great relief to other students, but for Daigo and Cuckoo, who were truly interested, it was Pokémon psychology?
Asha yawned deeply, two tears welling in the corners of her eyes, and pouted, saying:

"Dujuan, is this the amazing teacher you mentioned? I feel like he's similar to other teachers, but no, he's even better at 'hypnotizing' me than other teachers. He's making me so sleepy."

Du Juan closed the notes she had taken for the entire class, pursed her lips, and said, "What you've seen is only the surface."

Daigo wholeheartedly agrees with this.

"Didn't you notice? Even though everyone was sleepy, no one slept during this class."

"what--"

Back in the consultation room, Jing He closed the door and let out a long yawn.

It's no wonder the students felt sleepy; even he, the teacher, couldn't help but feel sleepy when explaining those complicated theoretical concepts.

He decided to make himself a cup of coffee.

"Kou Jie~~"

With the whooshing sound of the Onix coffee grinder, Gastly floated out of Jinghe's clothes with a mischievous grin.

Should I help you clear your head?

Jing He glanced at it sideways and said disdainfully, "Use your 'hypnosis'? Are you sure it'll help me wake up?"

"Ku-Ku-Jie!"

Gastly's face paled as he recalled the creature he had seen in Jinghe's dream during his first hypnosis session.
He shook his head repeatedly, chuckling awkwardly, indicating that it was just a joke.

Jing He shook his head and sighed inwardly.

It's only been a few days, and the energy cubes I bought recently are almost gone, not to mention the gas bill at home.
It's already over a thousand.

With his salary, it's already a bit of a stretch to train just one Gastly.

So he's already considering whether to open a psychological clinic outside the school.

It's perfectly normal for professors in the college to have side jobs. Take Dr. Solans next door, for example. Don't let his always looking disheveled and travel-worn fool you; he actually owns a company!
However, in a place like Kanaz City, the thought of opening a psychological clinic was daunting, not to mention the lack of clients. The price of renting a shop alone made Jinghe want to give up.

Tuk Tuk——

A teacher from the academic affairs office suddenly pushed open the door, put down a piece of paper, and left without looking back.

"Teacher Jinghe, what is the teaching schedule for this semester?"

"Kou Jie——"

Gastly immediately handed the paper to Jinghe.

He took a sip of hot coffee, which slightly perked him up, and glanced briefly at the paper.

An unremarkable arrangement.

I was just about to put it aside, but then I took it back.

Ok?
Autumn outing?

The destination is a hot spring trip to Chimney Mountain and Kama-eum Town.

Regardless of gender?

Based on everyone's feedback, I might update a little more if it gets recommended. The pace will remain the same; I can only speed things up by updating more. This lousy author just wants more readers. What do you all think?
