Chapter 191 The Enraged Kato Suzume

As the saying goes, enemies are destined to meet, and these two really do have a bit of an adversarial feel to them.

However, despite the two principals' bickering, the competitions still had to continue.

Our gaze shifts to Kato and the others.

"Brother Diao, this can't go on. Why don't we do what they do and press the button as soon as a new question comes out? I feel like our opponents are really tough."

At this moment, Yima, the team's strategist, couldn't help but mutter to himself, because in the Trainer Academy, he was the top freshman, and his intelligence was the highest.

Upon hearing this, Kato Takashi's expression furrowed slightly. It's clear he had considerable faith in Yoshima Kin'ichi.

"Okay, let's do it your way. As soon as the question appears, we'll press the button immediately. We absolutely cannot give them a chance."

Unfortunately, their whispers had already been noticed by Xuan Mingtian.

"After you give us the questions, remember to press the button immediately. I think they want to learn our method too, so it's a race to see who can press it the fastest."

Okay~

OK~

"No problem~"

……

Without the slightest hesitation, everyone agreed to Xuan Mingtian's request. After all, they weren't fools or blind; they could all see what their opponents were plotting.

"Next question, please look at the screen."

While the two sides were whispering amongst themselves, the referee spoke again. This was, of course, a reminder to look at the screen and pay attention to the questions.

The screen flashed by, and a brand new question appeared. At the same time, both players pressed their buttons.

This scene left the referee somewhat bewildered, since the button had been pressed as soon as the question appeared. Didn't they really need to take a look? Do all the students at the Trainer Academy have knowledge like Xuan Mingtian?

Two thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant. However, because of the referee, he still cooperated by checking which team had pressed the button.

Within five seconds of checking, the referee was delighted to discover that it had been pressed by a student from his own college, which brought him a sigh of relief.

With so many students and school leaders watching, it was really embarrassing to cheat.

"This time it's Indigo Academy again answering the questions. I hope the students from Trainer Academy will continue their efforts."

See? Not only does Principal Guo know how to roast people, but even the referees have learned this trick.

Looking at the picture on the screen, Xuan Mingtian already knew what kind of spirit it was. Therefore, he answered immediately.

"Referee, this is Squirtle. It's a Water-type Pokémon with the abilities Torrent and Rain Dish. Rain Dish is a hidden ability, making it relatively rare. It averages about 0.5 meters in height and weighs 9 kg. It's a small turtle-type Pokémon, belonging to the Water and Egg groups."

(Raging Torrent: During battle, when HP is low, the power of its water-type moves will increase.)

(Rain Dish: During battle, if it rains, its HP will slowly recover. This is a highly coveted ability for all Water-type Pokémon. However, because it is so rare, Water-type Pokémon with this ability will become very powerful. Except for those who like to be lazy.)

"As expected of our student, he can recognize this kind of Pokémon and its type and general information. He's definitely going to win this year's first-year academic exchange. I'll give him a silent thumbs up."

When Xuan Mingtian uttered the name "Zishui Turtle," the referee couldn't help but sigh. Truly, heroes emerge from among the young; the younger generation surpasses the older!

Squirtle has large, purplish-red eyes, three toes on each of its four limbs, and a small, wavy tail. Its body is light blue, encased in a hard shell; the back of the shell is brown, and the belly is light yellow, with a white, wavy edge between the two.

The shell of a Squirtle, which takes some time to harden after hatching, is quite soft and very elastic, almost as if it could be broken with a touch.

Even if you press it with your finger, it will immediately return to its original shape after you release it. When it encounters danger, it will retract its limbs into its shell to protect itself.

When it retracts its long neck into its shell, it can launch a powerful water gun and also spray strong foam from its mouth.

The carapace serves more than just self-protection; its rounded shape and grooved surface reduce water resistance, allowing it to swim quickly. It hunts by spouting water from the surface, seizing opportunities to strike back.

In most fire stations, they are trained as firefighters. Being water-type Pokémon with a hard shell for protection, they are the perfect choice.

However, compared to Charmander, the Squirtle population is much larger. Similarly, the Bulbasaur population is comparable in size to Squirtle.

However, what Xuan Mingtian was thinking about at this moment was what the Zishui turtle would look like after it shed its shell.

"Congratulations to the students from Indigo Academy! You get another point for answering the question correctly. The students from Trainer School really need to keep up the good work, or they might be crying later."

“I protest. You are a referee from Quartz Academy. I strongly suspect you cheated, and I suggest we replace you with a different referee.”

It was Kato Suzume from the Trainer Academy who spoke up. According to the information their homeroom teacher had just given them, he was the youngest of three brothers. It was unexpected that he had such a fiery temper, daring to question the referee.

"That's outrageous! Don't make things up, student. Didn't you see what's displayed on the screen? It shows whoever presses the fastest gets to answer. If it happens again, you'll lose 1 point."

Upon hearing this, Kato Suzume, who had been momentarily blinded by excitement, gradually came to his senses. He immediately noticed that his companions were staring at him with disbelief, and even the other students watching were looking at him with disdain.

He was so embarrassed that his face turned bright red, and he wished he could dig out a three-bedroom, two-living-room house with his toes to live in.

At the same time, Xuan Mingtian gave Yang Bin a look. The latter immediately understood, and then said something that contained three parts disdain, three parts mockery, three parts sarcasm, and one part speechlessness.

"Hey, Kato Suzume, are you stupid? This screen is so big, and the buttons are so big. You didn't even look at them before accusing the referee of cheating. I think you should just quit the game. Don't make me laugh at you."

"Ah~ You~ What did you say? Say it again if you dare, daring me to call you grandpa."

After being mocked by Yang Bin, Kato Suzume's face immediately turned red, and even his eyes were bloodshot with anger. He looked like he wanted to devour someone alive; he was simply...

Fortunately, Kato Suzume's behavior was stopped in time by his teammates. If they were outside, he probably would have already rushed in to start a fight.

"Ahem, Yang, there's a limit to verbal sparring. You absolutely cannot use words that involve family members; that's not the behavior of a good student."
