Elf: I am really a civilian trainer

Compared to the previous time in the lounge, Sun Ting seemed like a completely different person. She looked extremely stern. Following Sun Ting's gaze, all the children in the classroom lowered their heads and behaved very well.

The scene in front of him reminded Mark of his childhood, with some emotion.

Once upon a time, he was also very afraid of his teacher.

But now, he just found it interesting.

Perhaps it was due to his age and experience, behind Mr. Sun’s stern expression, he saw a hint of helplessness and entanglement that belonged to an adult.

The same is true.

Sun Ting was indeed helpless. She stubbornly refused her father's arrangement and wanted to come to the remote mountainous area of ​​the Kingdom of Xia to bring a bright future to the children in these mountains.

As a result, reality taught her a hard lesson.

In her mind, the children in the village would study happily under her leadership, the teachers and students would get along well with each other, and there would be harmony among the whole village. A large number of students would be admitted to the Elf Academy, which would be a slap in the face to her father.

But in reality, when facing these "simple" children, as long as she shows a little bit of a good face, these bratty children will push their noses and face to the sky.

Of course, these are not the point. The point is that almost none of these children have any hope of being admitted to the Elf Academy.

The only one with some hope was Lin Tong. Although this kid didn't study hard, he was smart. As long as he worked hard, he wouldn't have a problem passing the poor school entrance exam.

As a result, Lin Tong awakened his superpowers a few days ago.

In the entire class, the only ones with a promising future are the two brothers of the Li family. However, the fat boy Li Lei and his younger brother Li Sen are only eight and seven years old respectively, and it will be a long time before they can officially apply for the Elf Academy.

Sun Ting rubbed her temples, glanced around the class, and then glanced at the new student Mark.

When they first met, she had a pretty good impression of Mark.

Mark looked calm and like a serious student. As for Village Chief Qian's introduction and praise of Mark, she would not consider it for the time being.

The reason is very simple, because in the past year, she has been fooled by the old village chief named Qian.

The village chief praised every child in the village highly, saying they were the best in the world. But when they actually came into contact with them, they were basically terrible.

So she didn't hold much hope for Mark, the smart and studious fool in the eyes of old man Qian.

Without hope, there is naturally no disappointment.

After taking a deep breath, Sun Ting said, "There are new students in the class today, I will tell you again.

For you, whether you are applying to the Pokémon Academy or directly taking the trainer assessment, you need to take a written test. Only after passing the written test can you take the subsequent tests. Not only that, in recent years, many gyms in the Kingdom of Shia have also added written tests, which are basic assessments of Pokémon knowledge.

So, if you don’t want to spend the rest of your life in this small mountain village, I hope you can take the knowledge we learn seriously.

In addition, starting today, if you are interested in applying for the Elf Academy, you can come here every afternoon and I will tutor you individually. In addition, I will also give you some guidance on physical fitness subjects and elf affinity subjects. "

After saying this, Sun Ting officially began her lecture.

Seeing this, Mark opened the "Encyclopedia of the Elves of the Kingdom of Shia (II)" and turned to the page that was being explained. The Caterpillar sat in Mark's arms and read the book for a while, but soon felt dizzy, so he continued to think about how to count backwards.

Mark listened to Sun Ting's lecture for about half an hour.

In general, Sun Ting’s lectures are very serious and her explanations of knowledge points and content are very detailed.

However, for him, the teaching pace was too slow. In addition, Teacher Sun Ting provided almost no additional knowledge other than the knowledge points in the textbook.

In other words, for him, listening to Mr. Sun’s lectures in school is not as good as studying on his own as before.

In this way, I occasionally listened to teacher Sun Ting's lectures and spent most of the time studying "Encyclopedia of the Elves of the Kingdom of Shia (Part 3)" on my own. The morning passed quickly.

With Sun Ting announcing the dismissal of get out of class, the classroom seemed to be blown up.

Several insect-catching teenagers were the first to run out of the classroom happily and soon disappeared without a trace.

In the entire classroom, there were only Mark and Li Lei, the familiar fat man sitting next to Mark.

Although he looks a little naughty, this little fat boy obviously loves learning. After school, he immediately came to Teacher Sun and asked some questions he didn't understand in class.

Seeing this, Mark also asked Sun Ting some of his own questions.

Including the "completely perverted elf" he asked Old Man Qian about last night, as well as some other doubts he encountered during his self-study these days.

Following Mark's questioning, Sun Ting's expression obviously changed.

She didn't know whether Mark was a fool who had come to his senses, but based on Mark's understanding of the textbook content and his serious attitude towards learning, the possibility of him passing the Elf Academy competition was very high.

The only problem is that Mark's age seems a bit old. You must know that most elf academies have a 16-year-old age limit.

But Old Man Qian had already told her that Mark was only thirteen years old.

Although Village Chief Qian is not very reliable, he would not fool her about her age. Moreover, even if Mark's age is really over the limit, he can choose to apply for those elf academies that have no age limit.

Thinking of this, Sun Ting made a decision - it was him.

There are still two years left in the three-year agreement. She decided to use these two years to train Mark to enter the Elf Academy, preferably the best Riel Elf Academy in the Kingdom of Shia, or the Earth Elf Academy in Sanchuan Mountain, to prove herself to her father.

Life is always full of various disappointments. Sun Ting, who had ignited hope, obviously did not notice the hint of alienation in the depths of Mark's eyes.

Just as Sun Ting was imagining that she would teach Mark carefully in the next two years, Mark had already decided not to go to school and study on his own...

Chapter 31 Fear from Miss Goethe

Yes, Mark decided to teach himself.

By asking the young teacher Sun a few questions, he already had a general idea of ​​his level.

To describe it in one word, it is just reading from a script.

Maybe he is good at taking exams, but in terms of the depth of knowledge, he is actually not as good as the village chief, Old Man Qian.

Yes, even though the village chief always bows and scrapes in front of the alliance officials and his actions and manners are a bit unfashionable, this old man is really something.

Mark felt that he could completely teach himself next. If he didn't understand something, he could just ask Old Man Qian, or he could use Old Man Qian's elf encyclopedia to look up information.

Without thinking too much, Mark closed the book and asked, "Teacher Sun, I think you mentioned in class before that the entrance examination of the Elf Academy includes a physical fitness test and an elf affinity test in addition to the written test. What are these two tests?"

Sun Ting nodded and said, "I was just about to explain this question to you. The entrance examination standards of the Elf Academies in different places are different, but most of them are these three exams, but the emphasis is different. In addition, some Elf Academies will also have an additional plant identification course. If you want to be admitted to those Elf Academies, you need to prepare in advance, and..."

Mark discovered something and interrupted Sun Ting and asked, "Doesn't the Elf Academy have a unified exam?"

Sun Ting shook her head and said, "Of course not. The admission standards of the elf academies in different places are different, and the teaching content and emphasis are also different. For example, the Ruier Elf Academy tests comprehensive abilities, while the Earth Elf Academy focuses on rock and earth elves.

The examination times vary from place to place, but most of them are between September and November each year. If the entrance examination times do not conflict, it is possible to apply to several elf academies at the same time.

As for the physical fitness test and elf affinity test you just asked about.

Being a trainer is a very strenuous job. Not to mention climbing over mountains and crossing rivers in the wild, even riding a Pokémon will consume a lot of physical energy, so a physical fitness test is essential. Your body looks very strong, so I think it will not be a problem for you to pass the physical fitness test.

In fact, it's not just you, other children in the village have basically no problem with it.

As for the affinity of the elves, it is related to the efficiency of your elf training.

For example, for the same elf, some people can establish a good relationship with the elf and coach the elf in training within a few hours, while some people spend several days and still cannot communicate with the elf effectively, let alone train the elf.

This represents your affinity with the elves.

For the specific exam, if you own an elf, you can show some of your bond with the elf, which will give you extra points, but the formal elf affinity exam is still what determines the total score.

Generally, the Pokémon Academy will prepare some wild Pokémon for you to interact with and then rate you."

Mark nodded continuously as he listened to teacher Sun Ting's explanation.

It seems that unlike the unified college entrance examination before he traveled through time, the Elf Academy of the Kingdom of Shia is somewhat similar to the entrance examination of Japanese universities, and the examinations of each university are independent of each other.

In fact, this enrollment model is very scientific in some ways. Each elf school excels in different fields, and the qualifications required of students are naturally different.

As for the physical fitness test and the elf affinity test, Mark felt that he would have no major problems.

First of all, physical fitness. Although it may sound like bragging, there is no doubt that if he cannot pass the physical fitness test, no one else can pass it. After all, he is a tough guy who can move continuously through the forest using vines like Tarzan.

As for being friendly to elves, as a spirit master who possesses the power to control spirits, communicating with elves should not be a problem.

In this way, the only thing left for him to take the entrance exam to the Elf Academy was the written test.

Most of these books are conceptual knowledge that needs to be memorized by rote. As a veteran small town test-taker, Mark feels that he can almost master these books after a few months of self-study.

That is to say, in three or four months, around this autumn, he will be able to apply for the Elf Academy.

Thinking of this, Mark said, "Teacher Sun, can I study on my own instead of coming to school?"

"Not coming to school?"

Sun Ting's face was filled with astonishment.

How come you suddenly stopped coming to school?

Just as Sun Ting was about to persuade her, Mark spoke up first: "Teacher Sun, I know this will embarrass you, but I think it would be more efficient if I studied on my own. If you are worried, I have basically finished studying "Encyclopedia of Shia Kingdom Elves (I)" and "Encyclopedia of Shia Kingdom Elves (II)". You can ask some questions to check my progress. I will come back regularly to let you check my progress during my self-study. Is that okay with you?"

Sun Ting frowned, and after hearing what Mark said, she almost understood what he meant.

In a word, Mark thought that it would be better for him to learn on his own than to let her teach him.

If she had just arrived in Qingxi Village a year ago, she would probably have been directly blown away by Mark's words and taught this ignorant boy a lesson.

But after more than a year of wasting time, she suddenly found herself somewhat open-minded.

Maybe, as her father said, going to a remote mountain area to teach was just her wishful thinking and self-admiration...

Mark didn't realize how much of a blow his words had caused to the young teacher.

Not long after he made his request for self-study, Teacher Sun gave him two questions.

The two questions did not pose any difficulties for him, as they were both important topics in the book and were discussed at considerable length.

……

The first question: [Why do some elves have awakened characteristics innately, while some elves have to awaken their characteristics later in life? Give a few examples of each.]

In fact, this question was also the doubt that Mark had when he first came to this world.

When he first came to this world, Caterpillar's characteristics had not yet awakened, but in the Pokémon game, the characteristics of all Pokémon are awakened congenitally.

After reading the textbooks these days, he now has a basic understanding of the reasons for this situation.

The characteristics of elves, like their skills and moves, are derived from their bloodline genes and can be roughly divided into three categories.

One type is innate activation, which, as the name suggests, is a characteristic that is activated congenitally.

This type of trait does not form specific features on the elf's body, and many of them are related to the elf's personality, such as the [Perseverance] trait of Super Strength and the [Competitiveness] of Jigglypuff.

The second type is the acquired development type. This type of characteristics will not be activated congenitally. As the Pokémon develops, specific features will appear on the Pokémon's body, thus awakening the characteristics, such as Caterpillar's [Scale Powder], Venusaur's [Thick Fat], and Dragonite's [Multiple Scales].

The last category is the comprehensive type. Depending on the talents and genetic tendencies of the Pokémon, both innate and acquired awakening are possible, such as Charmander's [Fierce Fire] and [Power of the Sun] characteristics, and Squirtle's [Riptor] and [Rain Pan] characteristics.
