A spirit descends, Gardevoir is my childhood friend?

"died."

"That really gives him a leg up."

This was the first time I'd heard such words from Qin Lele, but you could tell from her tone that she was really angry.

Lin Xiaolin sighed. Yes, he really got off easy. A few days ago, she saw a question on her phone: "What is 1000 minus 7?"

I really want to try it on him again.

Qin Lele really likes the Xiao Ling and Xiao Xue sisters, and seeing them like this today really makes her heart ache.

The two once optimistic and carefree little ones have become cautious in everything they do, and the unrestrained smiles on their faces are gone.

Lin Xiaolin sighed. He felt a tightness in his chest. Although he was prepared, it was still very painful to watch.

"Let's go back to school. We'll see them again in a while."

"Ah."

The three of them stood up and slowly walked towards the school...

Chapter 285: The Mission Officially Begins

The three of them returned to school, panting, and went straight to their dormitory.

As soon as they entered the dormitory, Lin Xiaolin and Yan Fan saw Xiao Yashan, whom they hadn't seen in a long time, and they immediately froze on the spot.

"Xiao, Teacher Xiao."

Lin Xiaolin felt as if he had been granted a pardon, and cold sweat involuntarily poured down his face.

"Am I that scary? You're so frightened as soon as you come back."

Xiao Yashan put down the book in her hand, covered her mouth and chuckled. The three of them then went into the dormitory and sat down next to Xiao Yashan.

"Teacher Xiao, it's been a long time."

Lin Xiaolin scratched his head and laughed.

"Yes, I've been having a lot of trouble with missions lately, so I haven't been back to see you guys in a long time."

Xiao Yashan shook his head helplessly and made a concerned expression.

"No, the mission is more important. We can take care of ourselves, Aunt Xiao, don't worry."

Yan Fan spoke with a serious expression, and Lin Xiaolin mentally gave him a thumbs up, thinking, "Well said!"

"Hehe, go and get some rest. We'll head to the Dragon's Lair first thing tomorrow morning. It's been a long time since I've taken you guys on a field training trip."

Immediately, all three of them hung their heads.

Xiao Yashan's wilderness training was different from their usual playful roughhousing in the wild. The seven of them were sent directly to the central part of the dragon's lair, surrounded by lord-level and elite-level wild elves.

And they also have to arrive at a certain place within a specified time. If they can't get there, well, they'll be made into an ice sculpture.

------

And so, they spent their sophomore year under Xiao Yashan's 'torture'. Although everyone suffered a lot, the progress of their elves was also very obvious. Soon, everyone's elves began to strive for the Lord level.

Little Blue's second phase is gradually coming to an end, and he will soon be able to challenge for the Lord level.

Xiao Tan has already entered the second stage, while Xiao Bao is slightly inferior, having just stabilized himself and only recently begun his attempt to reach the Lord level.

However, don't think that Xiao Bao's combat power is weak just because his level is low. He can be said to be the most destructive Pokémon among all the seven members of the school team.

No one dared to confront him head-on; only Xiao Lan could handle him.

Yan Fan's Hakron has also begun to explore the first stage of the Lord level.

Qin Lele's Snow Moth is just one step away from breaking through to the Lord level.

The other people's spirits were at a similar level, and most of them were just beginning to explore the path to breaking through to the Lord level.

The ones who made the most progress were naturally the three little ones under Lin Xiaolin, Yan Fan, and Qin Lele. These three little guys have finally reached the peak of the ordinary level, just one step away from the finish line.

Lin Xiaolin vowed that she never wanted to hatch Pokémon again in her life; it was too troublesome. It took her a whole year to raise the Swaboon.

Hey ~

But you can only think about it in your heart. If it's fate, then there's nothing you can do about it.

"Alright, today marks the end of your second year at Longdu University."

Seven people stood in the training room, and Xiao Yashan stood in front of them with his hands behind his back, speaking slowly.

"However, you guys don't get any holidays anymore."

This was something Xiao Yashan had told them long ago, so it wasn't surprising to hear it now.

Xiao Yashan took out his phone and checked the time.

"You've worked hard all year. You have three days of rest. Remember, you only have these three days. After that, you will be completely cut off from the world, and even your families won't be able to contact you."

Your first two years of university life were just lighthearted fun. Now, you're officially stepping into Dragon Capital University! You're about to witness the true Dragon Kingdom!

As Xiao Yashan spoke, he glanced at everyone present with a sharp look, a look that sent shivers down their spines.

After saying that, Xiao Yashan left, and everyone looked at each other, somewhat at a loss.

------

As night deepened, everyone couldn't resist taking out their school-issued cell phones to call their families.

"Hello, Mom."

"Xiao Lin? You have time to call me?"

"Yes, we have a few days to rest here. By the way, has Dad gone back yet?"

“You’re back. When are you on vacation? Come back sometime so our family can get together.”

"There probably won't be that opportunity anytime soon."

Lin Xiaolin couldn't help but smile wryly. After talking with her mother for a long time, she finally hung up the phone reluctantly and lay on the bed, letting out a long sigh of relief.

Lin Xiaolin lay on the bed, pondering. Next, it seemed they would have to begin their mission. Xiao Yashan had also said that from now on, they would truly be considered to have entered the Dragon Capital.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and everyone had taken the time to say goodbye to their families.

------

"Your first task."

In the training room, Xiao Yashan used his phone to send a file to everyone's phones.

Lin Xiaolin and the others clicked on it to take a look.

(Rank D mission: Investigate the illegal immigration incident during the city relocation.)

(Clue: A batch of Pokémon eggs were found in the relocated city during the investigation. Follow the source to uncover the entire smuggling incident.)

Smuggling? Lin Xiaolin thought to himself. Qiancheng was a small city on the edge of the Dragon Kingdom. Because it was by the sea, its main source of income was breeding water-type Pokémon and catching edible fish.

"Alright, the information has been sent to you. There is more detailed information in it. You can set off now. A special helicopter will take you to Qiancheng shortly. There will be someone to meet you in Qiancheng."

Xiao Yashan explained to everyone the things to pay attention to during the first mission, and after the explanation was almost finished, he led everyone to the top floor of the training ground.

The group had never been here before and were surprised to find that it was a huge helipad with more than a dozen helicopters overhead, ready to take off at any time.

Lin Xiaolin looked around and found that many other teams had also come up and were looking curiously at the helicopter on the roof.

Xiao Yashan quickly got the seven people onto the helicopter, but she didn't get on the plane herself.

"Teacher Xiao, aren't you going?"

Lin Xiaolin had thought that Xiao Yashan would come with them on their first mission, but unexpectedly they were left to act on their own.

"Why would I follow you guys on a D-rank mission? I deserve to die. Get lost."

Xiao Yashan was both amused and exasperated. He waved his hand and headed downstairs.

Everyone felt a pang of reluctance as they watched Xiao Yashan's departing figure, even though he had trained them like a demon over the past two years.

However, it must be admitted that having Xiao Yashan by my side does make me feel much more at ease, at least I don't have to worry about safety issues.

There were exactly seven seats on the helicopter. Everyone sat down, fastened their seatbelts, and the helicopter slowly took off and headed into the distance.

At this moment, Xiao Yashan stood below, looking at the direction the helicopter was slowly leaving with a complicated expression.

Young eagles must eventually spread their wings on their own; they can never grow up if they are always protected by their eagles.

But the next moment, Xiao Yashan and the other teachers in charge boarded the remaining helicopters and quietly followed behind their team's helicopters...

Chapter 286 Smuggling

Lin Xiaolin and his group of seven sat in the helicopter, looking around. This helicopter was not an ordinary helicopter, but an armed helicopter, which flew at a very high speed.

The two drivers in front either couldn't hear them or simply didn't want to pay attention to them, because they didn't respond to anything they said, so Lin Xiaolin had no choice but to give up.

There was food prepared on the plane, so there was no need to worry about running out of food. After flying for two full days, the helicopter finally landed slowly, and the entire relocation city came into view.
