Elf: Start with small diamonds, then mutate into Diancie!

This doesn't mean there's discord between the boys and girls on the school team; it's just that the boys sit on one side and the girls on the other.

Su Hao walked toward Zhao Yunlan, who was waving at him with a big smile, and there happened to be an empty seat next to him.

After sitting down, Su Hao finally had time to observe his future teammates.

The first one on the right is the kind-hearted senior student Mu Yao, the current captain of the school team.

The second one from the right was a fair-skinned, quiet, and literary-minded girl with long, straight, smooth black hair, holding a book. He remembered that Chai Xingyu had introduced her that way.

Jiang Xiangyun is a senior student majoring in combat, specializing in Grass-type Pokémon, and her battle style leans more towards disruption.

The third one from the right has a high ponytail and looks like a clean and neat and androgynous girl. Her name seems to be surnamed Long.

Long Ningyan, a third-year student majoring in Battle, specializes in Dragon-type Pokémon. She seems to have come to Jiangcheng to study from Dragon City, one of the paradises for Dragon-type trainers.

As for Zhao Yunlan, who looked younger than Su Hao and was holding a blue turtle-headed Pokémon, we won't go into too much detail.

Specializes in water-based abilities, and is a senior in combat-based abilities.

Xia Xiaoguang, who was sitting to Su Hao's left, had once asked Su Hao for directions in Shanghai. At the time, Su Hao mistook him for a junior high school student. Xia Xiaoguang was 1.6 meters tall with a baby face and looked very young.

Specializes in Psychic type, majoring in Battle type in senior year.

And the last one, who looks ordinary, dresses ordinary, and gives the first impression of an ordinary senior combat major, Lin Daoyi.

The name seems unusual, and coincidentally, the attribute it specializes in is Normal.

As Su Hao was recognizing people one by one from his memory, Zhao Yun cleared her throat and then announced with a smile, "Now that all the current students are here, I have something to announce."

"First up is Su Hao, the new starter who officially joins our combat department team today!"

"With the college league just around the corner, you won't need to attend your first-year classes for the next two months. Instead, your training and experience will be arranged by the university team!"

Chapter 333 Practice

"Unified arrangements?"

Su Hao was somewhat puzzled.

He didn't have any objections to not having to attend classes.

After all, those academic subjects are now enhanced in every sense of the word, so they are easy for him to learn. Sitting there and following the pace of the general public would be a waste of time.

He only needs to study in his spare time during training each day to guarantee a perfect score on the final exam.

But will the tasks and training be arranged uniformly?

Zhao Yunlan, leaning lazily against Su Hao, raised his hand and said, "Can I refuse?"

"You can't! Principal Zhao requires you to train with the team!" Zhao Yun glared at him, a faint vein bulging on her forehead.

"well--?"

Zhao Yunlan pouted in disappointment, then sat up straight instantly, his spineless body trembling.

His mother, Ms. Zhao, is really strict; she even had the coach keep an eye on him!

Zhao Yun tapped the corner of the table with her finger, signaling everyone to be quiet.

After a moment, seeing that even the most outspoken Zhao Yunlan had fallen silent, Zhao Yun slowly said, "Just like I said before, first of all, welcome Su Hao to the school team's regular lineup. I believe that after witnessing the match just now, no one has any objections, right?"

From Zhao Yun's perspective, everyone nodded without hesitation, without the slightest resistance.

This also means that even though Su Hao was only a freshman, he still convinced them with his abilities.

With a satisfied smile, Zhao Yun continued, "As I mentioned before, with the college league approaching, the school will arrange for everyone to undergo both practical and intensive training as much as possible."

"First of all, the Lake Tower event, which opens at the end of each month, will be moved up to three days later. We hope everyone will seize the opportunity, try their best to clear the levels, and get the rewards from the Lake Tower."

The unpredictable nature of the Tower of Lakes levels makes the difficulty of clearing them vary, but the rewards for clearing every five levels are truly generous.

If you seize the opportunity, you can improve your skills in the Tower of Lakes.

Just like Li Xiao, a junior, who became Jiangcheng University's current ACE (ace) thanks to his talent and the help of the Tower of Lakes.

"Speaking of which, Su Hao, have you ever seen the Tower of the Lake?"

Zhao Yun turned her head slightly to look at Su Hao, and everyone else followed her gaze.

"I went to see it with Zhao Yunlan, but for some reason I can't remember what the tower looks like."

Su Hao first nodded, then shook his head.

Zhao Yun replied with a slight smile, "That's the tower's own protection mechanism, and it's more effective against people with more malicious intent."

"Because of the unpredictable and random levels, there are no strategies for the Tower of Lakes, which is a consensus among students of Jiangcheng University."

That's all for today. The next steps will be adjusted based on when everyone leaves the tower. Now, whether you want to chat or practice with each other, meeting adjourned!

Zhao Yun said those words and then turned and left.

Clearly, she wanted to give them time and space to adjust to each other, especially Su Hao, who had just joined the team.

"The arena should be mostly empty now. Let's go have a match and see how much everyone's skills have improved over the summer?"

As the team leader, Mu Yao was the first to make the suggestion.

As the captain and support, she needs to have a good grasp of her teammates' combat strength so that she can make any strategizing decisions in battle.

"Yeah!"

Zhao Yunlan was the first to respond, standing up and raising his hand frantically. If Su Hao had a tail, he suspected it would spin like a propeller.

"I...I'm fine."

Jiang Xiangyun put down her book and said softly that she also wanted to participate.

Long Ningyan, standing to the side, also smiled brightly and put her arm around Jiang Xiangyun, saying, "Since senior is going, then I want to participate too."

Lin Daoyi, who had been relatively unnoticed until now, suddenly stood up, walked slowly towards Su Hao, and invited him, "Can I be your opponent?"

"Of course, please give me your guidance."

Su Hao was surprised that this senior, who seemed "ordinary" all over, took the initiative to come to his door.

However, he was also very curious about the true strength of the starting lineup, since they would be his teammates in the upcoming matches, so he was naturally happy to accept them as the best.

"Since everyone else has participated, I naturally can't be too isolated."

Xia Xiaoguang waved his hand, his baby face looking very casual, but in his heart he regretted that he had spoken up too late and that Lin Daoyi had beaten him to it.

He clearly wanted to fight Su Hao too.

"But we only have seven people now, and one of us will be without a sparring partner."

The observant Jiang Xiangyun noticed the key point and said softly.

Mu Yao strode ahead, saying indifferently without turning her head, "It's alright, I don't plan to participate this time."

"So, Senior Mu Yao wants to observe everyone's progress, huh?"

"Then I'll fight with Senior Jiang?"

Long Ningyan was in high spirits, her eyes sparkling with a desire for battle.

"Then in the end, it's just us teaming up."

Zhao Yunlan and Xia Xiaoguang exchanged a glance and said in unison.

....................

Back inside the stadium, the once-filled venue had returned to a state of complete silence, with only a few campus support staff dismantling the ring.

The venue was spacious, and everyone casually found a spot to relieve themselves.

Mu Yao crossed her arms, glanced at everyone, and asked, "Which group goes first?"

Su Hao hesitated for a moment, then walked out and said, "Why don't I go first? The batch of plant seeds I ordered online should be arriving soon, and I need to go decorate the garden later."

Then, Su Hao turned to Lin Daoyi and asked, "Senior, is it okay?"

Lin Dao smiled, seemingly not caring much.

"of course can."

Zhao Yunlan excitedly chimed in, "Wow, the first match is already this exciting!"

Mu Yao led the group back to give the two enough space, while the logistics personnel who were dismantling the arena in the distance also cast curious glances their way.

"Junior, please go easy on him."

Lin Daoyi gave a faint smile, his tone flat and even.

Su Hao didn't reply, but simply nodded slightly, took the deluxe ball from his belt, and threw it out with Lin Daoyi.

boom--!

The classic Poké Ball activation sound effect plays, and two figures flapping their wings appear simultaneously in mid-air.

Su Hao released the Emerald Warrior Eagle. This was just a friendly match, and besides, Tianxi had indeed exhausted some of her strength after playing three matches in a row.

Sending out other professional-level Pokémon at this time would be the most appropriate option.

It was on the way here that Su Hao learned that apart from Senior Long Ningyan, who, like him, was a main player who had not yet become a professional-level trainer, all the other regular members of the school team were already professional-level trainers.

Times are really changing. Back when his dad was in college, he was still struggling at the elite level, but now the college team has a full team of professional level students.

"Is it also a bird-type Pokémon...?"

Su Hao muttered to himself.

He was surprised that Lin Daoyi had sent out a Pokémon that also had the Flying type.

The Great Swallow (or Swellia carnosa) is a type of flying creature.

I'll be adding a small chapter this weekend, and I'd also appreciate a five-star review and a free gift, Orz.

I never thought I could keep going until I wrote 700,000 words (wiping away tears)
