This trainer has no moral principles

"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Bekas, but you may think too highly of me. I'm just an ordinary Pokémon trainer. I don't even have a gym badge. I don't think I'm qualified to teach Miss Phil. If you want to repay me for saving Miss Phil, there's no need to be so roundabout."

You Zhi is still very self-aware. It has been less than three days since he came here, and he hasn't even figured out the various duel rules. He only has two elves on him, which are left by the original owner. Wouldn't it be misleading for him to become a teacher?

Compared to others, his biggest advantage is his innate "Yu-Gi-Oh-style identification", which allows him to indirectly understand the approximate abilities of the opponent's Pokémon and the effects of the spell cards that are about to be used, but this is not an ability that can be taught to others.

If he could stay in this world for three months, he would have the confidence to be a tutor for beginners. But forget it for now. If anyone wants to repay him, just give him the money. He has a good tooth and is not picky about food.

"Young man, you misunderstood. I hope you teach Phil not only the knowledge of Elf Duel, but more importantly, the skills to survive in the outside world." Bekas glanced at his daughter, who was pretending to be well-behaved. "After July, Phil will graduate from junior high school. According to our customs, she needs to stop attending school and travel for a year to broaden her horizons. But as you saw yesterday, it is really hard for us to let her leave her parents' care."

Cynthia added, "Of course, we could send someone to accompany her for protection, avoid wild forests, and choose only scenic spots like we would on a world tour. In fact, most families do this now. But if possible, we still hope that she can grow from this experience, rather than just going through the motions to add a flashy detail to her resume."

You Zhi was silent for a while. When it came to surviving in the wild, he was indeed an expert. In his previous life, in order to find the legendary immortals, he had once taken advantage of the summer vacation to carry a backpack and go into the deep mountains and forests alone to search for immortals and learn about Taoism.

In the end, he did not find any immortal or great master, but only found a group of practitioners who lived in seclusion. These practitioners neither practiced Taoism nor martial arts, but simply wanted to stay away from the hustle and bustle of the world and live a green life away from modern technology. Among them, he also met a colleague who fainted from hunger in the secluded hut and was rescued by him with military rations.

Of course, this world has elves and spiritual powers, so the experience of the previous life cannot be applied as it is, but some of it can be borrowed.

Seeing that You Zhi was interested, Becas said, "In addition to the tuition for teaching, you can also freely read the books in the library."

Fearing that the other party didn't know the value of the items, he added, "Many of them are private collections that are not available on the market. They include the distribution areas of some rare Pokémon and the Pokémon characteristics of various gym leaders."

"Thank you for your kindness. I'll give it a try."

"yeah."

Phil cried softly, and was glared at by his mother. He immediately sat up straight and behaved like a lady, but his eyes were still shining with excitement.

……

He did what he said. After breakfast, You Zhi took Phil to the training ground not far from the villa.

"Should I call you teacher?" Phil asked impatiently.

"up to you."

"Then I won't call you teacher. You don't look much older than me." Phil tilted his head and thought for a moment. "I've wanted a brother since I was a child. Can I call you Brother Youzhi?"

"no problem."

As long as it wasn't an insulting name, You Zhi didn't care what others called him. He immediately got to the point: "What do you think was the main reason you were in danger last time?"

Phil, who had changed into sportswear, said without hesitation: "Lack of courage."

She had obviously thought about it and was not just a pretty vase with an empty mind.

It was precisely because of this that You Zhi agreed to hire her. If it was really a noble lady with a lot of problems, he would not bother to serve her.

"Then how do you think we can train our courage?"

Phil put his finger on his lower lip and thought for a while, then said, "Go to that swaying suspension bridge with a bottomless abyss below. Walking on it a few times will definitely improve your courage."

"What nonsense! The best way to improve your courage is, of course, to exercise. A strong body can foster a strong will. If you could kill that mantis elf with one punch, would you still be afraid yesterday?"

"Hmm... Actually, I've always been afraid of caterpillars and other creatures. I wouldn't dare step on them even if I could kill them with one foot."

"You're just disgusted, not scared. If you were forced into a life-or-death situation, wouldn't you be able to stop?"

“It seems so.”

"So we have to start with physical exercise. Let me first understand your situation before teaching you. Do you usually do any exercise?"

"Horseback riding, archery, and dancing."

"That means you need a solid foundation." Considering the average physique of people in this world far surpasses that of Earthlings, You Zhi decided to skip the basic training. "Warm up with a run first, then I'll teach you a set of martial arts. Remember, I'm not teaching you martial arts to fight the elves, but to give you confidence that you're not powerless. How people react to danger depends on whether they have this confidence."

As for the martial arts to be taught, it is naturally not the invincible Tai Chi that roams across other worlds, nor is it the Bajiquan that even servants are afraid of, but the simple and unpretentious Sanda.

In his previous life, You Zhi was crazy about martial arts. He sought out masters everywhere to learn martial arts. After learning from many masters, he came to the conclusion that Sanda was really good for fighting and wrestling was really good for throwing. As for traditional martial arts such as Tai Chi, Xingyi, and Wing Chun, it was not that they were not good for their fancy moves. In fact, as long as the physique was trained, any martial arts could be lethal. The key was that there were too many scammers and all kinds of bad rules, so he could only stay away from them.

I don't know if it's Phil's natural talent, or the result of her daily training, but after You Zhi taught her for only half a day, she was already able to fight quite well. Although it's still impossible to fight in actual combat, it's already very good to be able to put on a scary show.

After all, no matter how strong a person's physique is, it cannot compare to that of an elf. When encountering danger, don't be scared. It is enough to be able to calmly judge the situation and decide whether to fight head-on or turn around and run away.

With the financial resources of the Croft family, Phil will not be short of powerful elves when traveling in the future, so he must use his strengths to deal with problems.

"However, the people in this world possess duel spiritual powers, so we can't just force our past life experiences to apply. Perhaps traditional martial arts can unleash unexpected power..."

Seeing Phil's learning speed, You Zhi changed the original teaching plan and felt that teaching some traditional martial arts might be possible.

After all, his teaching goal is to give Phil confidence, not to actually fight with others. So compared to the mundane name of "Sanda", "Tai Chi", "Bajiquan" and "Shaolin 72 Skills" obviously have a more mysterious aura.

Thinking of this, You Zhi suddenly remembered the culprit that caused him to travel through time. That was the magic skill that could make his body explode in a world without spiritual power!

What would happen if it were the current world?

Although I knew that this matter must be extremely dangerous, once the curious thought arose, it grew like weeds.

"Brother Youzhi."

Suddenly, Phil interrupted Youzhi's reverie with a timid tone.

"What's wrong? Is there any action you can't remember?"

Phil shook his head. "It has nothing to do with practice. It's just that You Zhi's expression just now was so scary. It was like he suddenly turned from a hero into a big devil."

"Really?" You Zhi touched his face, "That's your illusion."

Phil stared at Youzhi carefully for a while, confirming that there was no difference, and thought that it was indeed his illusion.

Chapter 12: Scientific Magic

"'Strong and Weak Simulations'."

You Zhi looked at the nearly four thousand words he had written out from memory, and became more and more horrified.

In his previous life, he had excellent academic performance and was considered a top student by others, but he definitely did not have the ability to remember everything he saw.

This article, the culprit that caused his body to explode and travel through time, was engraved in his mind like a brand. He could recall every word clearly without missing a single word, making it seem even more bizarre.

However, it still couldn't stop his curiosity to practice!

"Give it a try. At worst, I'll explode again and travel through time again."

From a rational analysis, the fact that one traveled through time after exploding and dying last time does not mean that the same process can be repeated this time. It is very likely that one will only explode but not travel through time. However, it is difficult for a person to convince others, but it is easy to convince oneself. Even if the logic is full of loopholes, one can still accept it completely.

If Youzhi's friends from his previous life were present, they would all sigh in unison, "He's gone crazy again," and then continue to do their own things. No one would try to persuade him because it was meaningless.

After coming up with a hundred reasons to convince himself to take the risk, You Zhi mobilized the spiritual power in his body and started to practice according to the formula of "Strong and Weak Simulation of Divine State".

"This technique actually focuses on liberating the strong and weak forces within the four fundamental forces. This is too scientific! Who is the creator? Could he be the leader of the Cult of Science?"

……

The next morning, Phil got up early and went to the forest entrance to warm up. Strangely, You Zhi, who had agreed to do morning exercises with her yesterday, had not shown up.

"Brother You Zhi doesn't seem like the type of person who would cancel an appointment without a reason. Could he be sick with a cold?"

Just when Phil was daydreaming and felt that he needed to find the housekeeper to check the situation, he saw You Zhi running quickly from the villa door. His running posture was very strange. It looked like he was walking slowly, but his speed was astonishingly fast. The track and field athletes in the school were probably at this speed.

But she wasn't that surprised. Maybe this was some kind of magical martial art?

Although what Brother You Zhi taught yesterday was very ordinary, I was just a beginner after all, and it was impossible for me to teach her advanced techniques right from the start. It's just like dancing, I have to start from the basics.

"I'm sorry. I stayed up late last night practicing martial arts and forgot the time. I kept you waiting for a long time."

"It's okay. I just got here a short time. If Brother Youzhi feels sleepy, I can do morning exercises alone..." As a girl who was taught to pay attention to her appearance and dress, Phil immediately noticed the changes in him. "Brother Youzhi's skin seems to have become smoother!"

"Really? I didn't notice that."

Yuzhi looked at his arm.

"Of course, and it's quite obvious!"

Phil nodded vigorously, then asked expectantly, "Is this the effect of practicing martial arts? Can Brother You Zhi's martial arts also improve skin quality?"

"Maybe. I don't really care about that."

You Zhi is more concerned about improving his physical abilities, such as strength, speed, reaction, and flexibility. He took a test half an hour ago and found that he had improved a lot in all aspects. He can easily complete movements that used to be very difficult to do.

There is indeed a trick to "The Imitation of Strength and Weakness", it is worthy of being a martial art that can make people explode and die!

"I will definitely study hard in the future!"

Phil clenched his fists and felt his whole body filled with energy.

"By the way, do you know if there is anyone in the world who can defeat an elf with physical strength alone, without using spell cards?"

"Yes, not all elves are powerful. Some elves are as powerful as ordinary pet cats and dogs."

"I'm not referring to these particularly weak spirits, but... for example, the demon lizard Yihao I summoned the day before yesterday. Can anyone defeat it with force alone?"

Phil tilted his head and thought for a moment, then said, "I remember that the Azure Gym Leader, Ah Si, once subdued a Pokémon with martial arts. He also encouraged his disciples to battle and spar with Pokémon, believing that this would not only improve the strength of both trainers and Pokémon, but also enhance the relationship between them."

"That's good, it won't be noticeable this way."

You Zhi was completely relieved. In a very good mood, he decided to make a promise to Phil: "As long as you study hard, once you have mastered Sanda, I will teach you the advanced Sanda martial art 'Sanshou Bapu'."

It was no difficult task for You Zhi to create a new martial art based on "Strong and Weak Simulation of Spirits" and combine it with various martial arts techniques to circulate spiritual energy and strengthen the body.

Although he vaguely felt that practicing martial arts in the world of elf duels was not quite right, and he had a sense of guilt for taking a wrong path, as a lonely and helpless traverser who might be hunted by an evil organization in the future, it was understandable that he did so in order to enhance his sense of security.

No matter whether others believe this reason or not, You Zhi believes it!

Since Phil had to go to school today, he only had morning exercises. The martial arts teaching had to be moved to after school and depended on the amount of homework.

According to the original plan, Youzhi would go to the town library to continue collecting information, but Bekas personally promised that he could read the books in his home at will, so there was no need to go far away.

"This is the library. The owner has instructed that guests can read the books here freely and take them back to their rooms, but they are not allowed to take them out of the house."

The butler led You Zhi into the basement and opened the heavy door with a key. Pushing it open, he saw an unexpectedly spacious room filled with books, the number of which was no less than a small library.

Not only that, there is a bed and a refrigerator in the corner of the room, and all kinds of daily necessities are available, just like a shelter. You Zhi feels that even if a zombie frenzy breaks out in the outside world, as long as the door of the basement is closed, it will be no problem to hide in it for a month or so.

It was not uncommon for rich people to have underground shelters in their own homes as they lacked a sense of security. However, the other party had actually combined the shelter with the study. This was the first time You Zhi had seen such a combination.

"Don't worry, I'm just reading here."

You Zhi was not in a hurry to find the book, but first checked the numbering and arrangement of the books, skipping those books that others thought were very important and specifically introduced the abilities and characteristics of elves, and instead picked up a few books related to elf duels and spell card refining.

After reading it attentively for a whole morning, the confusion I had encountered before was finally answered.

You Zhi originally thought that the spell cards in this world were not divided into magic cards and trap cards, and they were all one. In fact, this understanding was not accurate. People just didn't name them magic and traps, and actually still divided spell cards into two categories.

One type is called instant spell card, which can be activated once it is refined, corresponding to magic card.

One type is called the Soul Storage Spell Card. After being refined, it needs to continue to absorb spiritual energy and can only be activated after it is fully stored. It corresponds to the Trap Card.

It seems that the latter is not as good as the former, but in fact it is not. Because the latter can be put aside after being refined, the spell card will absorb the spiritual energy of nature by itself, thereby saving the trainer's spiritual power. In theory, the spiritual power consumption is lower, but if the trainer is in a hurry to activate it and has no time to wait slowly, it will cost three times more spiritual power.

The reason why You Zhi had clearly refined the "Final Assault Order" but was unable to launch it was because of this, not because he misjudged his own total spiritual power.

Chapter 13: Intellectual Monopoly

Spell cards are divided into six levels according to their strength: S, A, B, C, D, and E. The spiritual power consumed by a spirit-storing spell card of the same level during refining is half that of an instant-cast spell card.

In short, if the trainer has time to wait or has made preparations in advance, it is more cost-effective to use the Soul Charging Spell Card. However, if the Soul Charging Spell Card is used as an instant spell card, it will consume spiritual power equivalent to twice that of an instant spell of the same level, which is not worth the cost.

Of course, it depends on the effect of the spell card, and many times there is no choice at all.

You Zhiben was a patient and calm person, so he stayed in the study for a whole day. However, a question gradually arose in the process of reading.

It was just a vague guess at first, but the more books he read, the clearer the guess became.

"Mr. You Zhi, dinner is ready. Would you like to go to the restaurant to eat now, or I will bring the dinner here."

Before they knew it, it was dark and the housekeeper came to the basement to inform You Zhi to have dinner.

"There's no rush for dinner. Do you have a computer with internet access?"

"Can I have a notebook?"

“As long as I can access the internet.”

"The signal is blocked here. Please wait in the guest room. I'll have the laptop delivered to your room."

Not long after You Zhi returned to the guest room, the maid brought over a computer. The software system was similar to that in his previous life. It was all idiot-proof and easy to use.

He opened the web page and searched for keywords, and quickly found content to verify his hypothesis.

"Act on the Protection of Elf Information stipulates that anyone who privately disseminates information about another person's elves without the owner's permission shall, if the circumstances are serious, be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of up to three years or criminal detention, and/or a fine. In especially serious cases, the penalty is imprisonment of between three and seven years and a fine."

In this world, privately spreading information about elves is illegal!

Unless you get permission from the person concerned, or the elf owner himself discloses the elf's information, and you can't just say you have an elf, others will believe you are the owner of that elf. You must register in person at the elf center before the official will recognize the affiliation.
