This trainer has no moral principles

Chapter 18 Heart Knot

Since today happened to be the housekeeper's monthly day off and the two maids were responsible for cooking and serving the food, the task of notifying Yuzhi and Phil to dine was given to the Silent Magician.

Although the Silent Magician needs to remain silent, many things can be conveyed without speaking, such as pointing in the direction of a restaurant with his wand. Anyone with normal IQ can understand what this means.

After the Silent Magician bowed and left, You Zhi noticed Phil's slightly gloomy expression and advised, "Any qualified Pokémon trainer will see that the Silent Magician has great potential. Even if he's weak now, he will definitely shine in the future. I suggest you take him with you on your training trips and cultivate a bond. Once you reach four stars in the future, you can take over from Mr. Bekas."

Phil showed a helpless expression and said with a hint of complaint, "Brother Youzhi really doesn't know how to read the atmosphere. He clearly knows that others have a grudge, but he still insists on mentioning it. Isn't this malicious."

"Only weaklings who need to read other people's expressions care about the atmosphere. Communication between people is inherently difficult. If we're hesitant, it will only reduce the efficiency of information transmission and increase the chances of misunderstandings. I don't want to waste my precious time on meaningless verbal probing."

"What an amazing mentality! I wish I could be as strong as Brother You Zhi."

Phil suddenly understood why she was attracted to the other person. Perhaps it was this kind of determination that she lacked, the determination to move forward unswervingly after identifying the goal, that made her yearn for him.

You Zhi suggested: "Don't just talk about it, how about taking the first step?"

Phil covered his mouth in surprise and said, "Now? Isn't it a bit too urgent?"

"Now that I'm forcing you, this is your best chance. If you delay it past today, considering your interpersonal relationships and living environment, there's probably no hope of a breakthrough."

"What a cruel and heartless statement. This kind of aggressive attitude towards women will not be welcomed."

Phil said it jokingly, but when he met Yu Zhi's serious gaze, he restrained his expression and fell silent.

The little hands on the knees clenched and unclenched, clenched and unclenched again.

After repeating it several times, she seemed to have made up her mind and slowly said, "That day was my sixteenth birthday. Mom and Dad planned to hold a grand coming-of-age ceremony for me. They even set up the stage, but they were attacked on their way back from the elf auction. Dad was seriously injured while trying to protect Mom, and he was in the hospital for three days before he was finally saved."

In this world, men's coming-of-age ceremony is at the age of eighteen, and women's coming-of-age ceremony is at the age of sixteen.

Phil paused, turned his head to look at the setting sun, and said slowly, "I know I'm just taking my anger out on others. This incident has nothing to do with the Silent Magician, but I can't help but wonder, if they hadn't gone to the auction, would they have been attacked...

"Actually, I know that if you really trace it back to the source, Mom and Dad went to the auction for me. But to get rid of the guilt, they deliberately put the blame on the elves just to make themselves feel better. I'm really a mean-spirited, bad girl."

After listening to this, You Zhi commented, "You are indeed mistaken. The real culprits are neither the Silent Magician nor you. They are the criminals who attacked the Becas couple. They are the real culprits. Instead of worrying about guilt, you should find a way to become stronger and avenge your parents, or stand up and protect your family the next time they are in danger."

Phil was stunned. She had never thought in such a positive direction before. She felt that a completely new path had appeared before her.

After a while, she recovered and whispered, "I don't want them to be in danger. I hope they will live in peace and security for the rest of their lives and never need anyone to protect them..."

Then he smiled and said, "Thank you, Brother Youzhi, for your guidance. I won't worry about this anymore. Yeah, I've decided. I want to be a Pokémon trainer in the future!"

You Zhi hurriedly reminded: "Don't tell Madam that you were influenced by me."

It is not difficult to see from the content of the extracurricular interest classes that Cynthia does not want her daughter to engage in dangerous occupations, and she does not want her salary to be deducted for this.

"Haha, how should I tell Mom?" Phil said with a devilish smile on his face. "Thinking about it, even though Brother Youzhi's words just now enlightened me, they also helped the Silent Magician. I feel like I was just a byproduct, and I'm a little unhappy."

You Zhi wasn't buying it. "I originally thought you'd already mastered the Sanda routine, so I thought I could teach you the Sanda Eight Pounces tomorrow. But now I think it's a little too early. More haste, less speed. It won't be too late to wait a few days."

"I'm sorry, I got too carried away!"

Phil admitted his mistake decisively, then grabbed Youzhi's sleeve and said coquettishly, "Let's do it tonight. I can't wait any longer. Brother Youzhi must teach me."

Bang!

There was the sound of a drawing board falling to the floor, but it was Bekas who had an "oh~no" expression on his face.

"You, you, both of you...I won't agree!"

Bekas stared at You Zhi and said viciously, "Even if it's Young Master You Zhi, you can't do that. If you want to seduce my precious daughter, you must step over my dead body!"

Phil blushed and said, "Father, what are you talking about? We were just talking about something serious!"

Beckas gave a look that said, "I understand." "At your age, you should know some proper knowledge about men and women. After a while, I will hire a professional teacher to guide you, but not now."

Phil stomped his feet and said, "How annoying! I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going back to my room to change clothes." Then he ran away quickly.

You Zhi explained helplessly: "Mr. Becas, you may have misunderstood. We were just discussing the teaching of martial arts."

"I know," Bekas winked playfully. "Playing dumb appropriately can effectively enhance the relationship between father and daughter and alleviate the rebellious psychology of adolescence. I learned this from the book 'Child-Raising Guide of Qianli Pavilion Master'."

You Zhi thought for a moment and said, "But Phil seems very angry. I guess he will ignore you for a while."

Beckas said frustratedly: "Well, there is always a certain gap between theory and practice."

After a while, Mrs. Cynthia's voice was heard in the distance: "Phil, how many times have I told you not to run in the corridor? A lady should behave like a lady!"

You Zhi said: "I think Phil should be even more angry with you. She must think it's all your fault."

Beckas quickly picked up the drawing board on the ground and put it into Youzhi's hand: "I'll give it to you. I'll go and explain to Phil right away."

After saying that, he turned and ran, shouting as he ran: "Dear, listen to me..."

"What a lively family," You Zhi commented sincerely.

Chapter 19: Assassination in Progress

Late at night, the moon is dark and the wind is high.

A figure in a black ninja suit clung to the wall and quietly climbed to the outside of the guest room window. He inserted a thin wire into the gap, skillfully opened the window, and climbed in silently.

Without hesitation, the green-black figure immediately drew out the short blade and stabbed towards the bed.

However, the target, who should have been fast asleep, suddenly lifted up his blanket, which not only interfered with the assassination but also blocked his view.

The assassin was shocked and hurriedly swung the short blade to cut the quilt. Goose down flew everywhere. He looked again and found that there was no one on the bed. At the same time, a strong wind blew through the air beside his ears.

Without time to dodge, the assassin was hit on the head by the whirlwind kick. The pain was so severe that his eyeballs almost popped out and he exploded into spiritual particles on the spot.

"Goblin assassination unit?"

After venting his morning grumpiness, Youzhi was completely speechless. The trainers in this world really have no moral principles. Not only did they order the Pokémon to attack the trainers directly, they even carried out assassinations. They were really unscrupulous and it was like teaching him a lesson again.

"It shouldn't be the Gurus Group. They didn't have to attack the Bekas family, so I was just implicated."

The Goblin Assassination Unit is the same as the Goblin Assault Unit. An elf has multiple individuals. If the assassin is sent by the Gurus Group, they will never send only one goblin to assassinate him.

Coupled with the reminder from the noodle shop owner and the experience of the Beckas couple being assassinated, various clues and information were summarized and analyzed in his mind, and You Zhi had the answer in an instant.

"...No matter what, save people first."

Although he was implicated, the Bekas family treated him very well and there was no reason for them to just watch him die.

When he came to the corridor, he clearly heard the sounds of fighting and explosions, mixed with Bekas's scolding and Mrs. Cynthia's cries for help. You Zhi was about to run to the stairs and wondering which room Phil lived in. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind. He cursed himself for being so stupid. He immediately pushed open the window and flipped out as agile as a monkey.

He was seen using his hands and feet to quickly climb up the wall like a gecko, while at the same time circulating his spiritual power, concentrating his eyes and looking up, finding a room with the same open window, and immediately flipping over and entering.

In the room, Phil wrestled with the goblin assassin, forgetting all the wrestling skills he had been taught. He used the most popular Xia Ji Eight Strikes, which was known to all women and children.

The reason she was able to hold on until now was not because she had become stronger after three weeks of training, but because her opponent intended to capture her alive. If the goblin assassin had stabbed her in the bed with a dagger as soon as he entered the room, as he did to You Zhi, she would have been reduced to a corpse long ago.

Of course, just having the courage to resist is enough to prove that these three weeks of training are not meaningless.

Seeing an outsider breaking in, the Goblin Assassin immediately abandoned Phil, turned around and swung his dagger at the intruder's neck, trying to eliminate the variables as quickly as possible.

"For an assassin, your reaction is too slow!"

You Zhi arrived first after starting later. He hit the opponent's wrist with a whip move, and the dagger flew away. Then he approached the opponent with an elbow and followed with an iron mountain lean, making two muffled sounds like a sandbag exploding. The goblin assassin with only 0 defense power could not withstand such damage. With an expression of unacceptable astonishment on his face, he followed in the footsteps of his companions and exploded into spiritual particles.

"Brother Youzhi!"

Phil, still terrified, instinctively hugged her, his chest, strong enough to be held in one hand, heaving violently. "What on earth just happened? Who sent these elves? What are they going to do?"

You Zhi glanced at the girl's messy room. The bookshelf had fallen over in the previous scuffle, and the books were scattered all over the floor. Among them were quite a few comic books, which seemed to be a complete collection, such as "The Demon Knight Fell in Love with Me", "The Perfect Brave and the Smiling Village Girl", and "The Prince's Temptation". Just by looking at the names, you can tell that they are classic traditional girls' comics.

"The most urgent thing is not to find out the reason, but to find your parents as soon as possible."

"Yes! They attacked me, and they will definitely come after my parents too."

As if he had found a backbone, Phil felt a strong sense of security. His emotions quickly calmed down and he regained his composure. "The elf just now didn't kill me. It wanted to capture me alive. It must be to use me as a hostage. The elf's owner is targeting my parents!"

You Zhi said, "Good analysis. Time to go. Do you want to change clothes?"

Only then did Phil realize the indecent nature of his clothes. Because of the previous scuffle, his already loose white gauze pajamas had been pulled down halfway to his shoulders, revealing half of his snow-white rabbit, with his bright red eyes vaguely visible. His pretty face blushed, and he quickly let go of his hands and pulled up his pajamas.

"Now is not the time to worry about this, let's go."

After all, she was not a vase in idol dramas who only cared about maintaining her appearance. Phil knew the seriousness of the matter. He picked up a coat from the bed and put it on, then ran out with You Zhi.

The two of them had been running in the corridor for a while when they suddenly felt a huge burst of spiritual power, as if a rapidly expanding air shield encompassed them, and the concentration of spiritual energy in the surrounding air suddenly increased several times.

"It's the duel barrier. It must be Dad who opened it!"

The duel barrier is a prerequisite for starting a formal duel. Once it is opened, the intruder has only two choices.

Or you can have a formal duel with the opener, one-on-one, and the winner can gain the management rights of the duel barrier.

You can either ignore the barrier and continue the siege, but you will have to bear an extremely unfavorable combat environment, that is, you need to consume spiritual power to use spell cards, and once the elves are destroyed, they will suffer spiritual backlash, while the opponent only consumes half of the spiritual power to refine spell cards, and will not be affected at all by the destruction of the elves.

Obviously, the duel barrier is extremely beneficial to the defender, so wealthy people often prepare corresponding equipment at home and activate the barrier to protect themselves when encountering danger.

"It's safe now. Just hold on for a while and the police will come."

Phil breathed a sigh of relief, felt relieved, and even slowed down his pace.

However, You Zhi thought for a moment and said, "Not good, we have to go there quickly!"

"Hey, why is that?"

"The attackers chose today not by chance, but because it's the housekeeper's day off. This means they've thoroughly investigated your family's situation, so they couldn't possibly be unaware of the existence of the dueling barrier. Given this, they still dared to launch a sneak attack. There are only two possibilities. One is that they're trying to take hostages and force the manager to disable the dueling barrier."

"That's why they sent elves to kidnap me, but they miscalculated. I am not the same person I was half a month ago. It's not that easy to be caught!" Phil said half excitedly and half relieved.

You Zhi shook his head and said, "Even a lion will fight a rabbit with all its might. Since you are the key to the success of the entire plan, they should send all the main elves to your side. As for your parents, they are secondary. But judging by the current situation, they are clearly sending their main force to your parents' side."

A mere goblin assassin can't even be called an elf, at most a quarter of an elf. No matter how arrogant the enemy is or how much he looks down on Phil, there is no need to save his combat power like this.

"This proves they are the second possibility. They are confident that they can quickly defeat your father in a formal duel. So, while it would be best if they could capture you, it doesn't matter if they can't. We must get there before the duel is over, otherwise it will be too late!"

Chapter 20 Witch Hunt

When Phil arrived at the training ground, the battle had already reached a fever pitch.

Bekas stood opposite a masked burly man in black. The six elves in the field were fighting in a group, and their various skills and moves were complementing each other, which was a feast for the eyes.

Generally speaking, in a formal duel, trainers each send out one Pokémon, and after it is defeated, they send out the next one. However, that is an official duel with referees and spectators, and trainers must follow the rules. Private duels are not so particular, just like ring competitions and street fights, the two are completely different things.

However, when the captured Pokémon use their skills, part of the spiritual power will be borne by the trainer. Therefore, under normal circumstances, only two Pokémon will be sent out at the same time. If there are more, it will inevitably damage the trainer's spiritual power veins, and the probability of failure in refining spell cards will also be greatly increased.

At this moment, an expression of enduring pain appeared on Bekas' face. Obviously, supporting the battle of three elves at the same time exceeded the upper limit of his spiritual power output. Even if he won this battle, he would inevitably have to stay in the hospital for a while afterwards.

The masked muscular opponent was also feeling bad, but he had undergone special training and was much more resilient.

"Little girl, the Goblin assassin didn't catch you?"

There was another masked man in black standing next to the training ground. He was tall and thin, like a stick. He sneered when he saw Phil, "Instead of trying to escape, you walked right into a trap. The noble lady really doesn't have much brains."

After saying this, he took a big step forward to catch the man.

On the other side, Cynthia, who was under the protection of the elves, was very anxious and shouted, "Phil, don't come over here, run!"

But Phil seemed to be frightened and just stood there in a daze.

Seeing the masked tall man approaching to within three meters, suddenly, a figure rushed out from the darkness, swung its claws through the air and slashed at his neck.

clang!

A demon wearing a dark blue cloak and holding a long sword appeared out of thin air, blocked the sneak attack of the demon lizard Yihao, and then swung his sword to force him back.

"I've been on guard for a long time. For a delicate noble lady to escape safely from the goblin assassins, she must have used elves. You used yourself as bait. Such a crude trick, do you really think you can fool a professional killer like me?" The masked tall man laughed.

Seeing that his "plan" had failed, Phil couldn't help but look panicked and turned around and ran away.

"It's too late to escape now!"

The masked tall man quickly chased forward. The demon lizard Yihao wanted to save people, but was held back by the sword-wielding demon.

"do not come!"

Just like the heroine in a movie who is responsible for holding back the protagonist to advance the plot, Phil let out meaningless shouts and ran around without knowing where to go, and ended up running into a corner with no way out.

The masked tall man laughed heartily, took two steps at a time, and reached out to grab the other person. In an instant, a figure jumped out from the dark shadows, its body clinging to the ground like a snake, and only jumped up when it attacked.

The masked tall man had no time to defend himself and was hit in the lower abdomen by the opponent's two palms. Suddenly, a sharp pain surged like a tide, and he flew eight meters away, hit the wall and fainted.

You Zhi stood up and gave Phil, whose face still showed signs of panic, a thumbs-up and said, "That was very realistic."

Phil forced a smile. "I was only acting halfway. The other half was genuine fear. Even though I knew it was a ruse and that you were lying in ambush nearby, when I really faced the criminals, I was still so frightened that my legs went weak."

The feeling of oppression brought by the physical difference is still too strong. If it were me half a month ago, I would probably have been so scared that I sat on the ground and dared not move.
