Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 27 Autumn Outing (Part Two)

Hoenn region, LavaCity.

Buses pulled up in front of the Pokémon Center in LavaTown. Students disembarked one after another under the guidance of their teachers and carried their luggage into the Pokémon Center.

According to the school's arrangements.

The students will stay at the Elf Center for their first night, with two students sharing a room, and the teachers are no exception.

However, since the number of students in Class 1 of the first year of the combat department is odd, Jinghe, who was originally supposed to share a room with counselor Du Fu, was assigned to share a room with Daigo at Daigo's request.

In truth, Jinghe was somewhat resistant to sleeping in a room with a man, but since it was arranged by the school and even Da Wu, the young master of the Dewen Company, did not object, he, as a teacher, naturally needed to set an example.

not to mention.

Compared to Doflamingo's muscular physique, Daigo is definitely more acceptable.

Moreover, to be honest, the age gap between Jinghe and Dufu is much larger than the age gap between him and Daigo.

Arrange accommodations.

Duf announced that this afternoon and evening would be free time.

This prompted cheers from many students.

Of course, the premise of free movement is that you can only move around within the town of Fuyu. If you want to leave the town, you must get the teacher's permission.

As noon approached, students left the Pokémon Center in twos and threes to find their own food. Jinghe, who was doing the same, was invited by Daigo, Cuckoo, and Aysa.

"Teacher Jinghe, shall we go eat together?" Even on an autumn outing, Du Juan always carried a book with her.

Before Jing He could refuse, she continued, "Ya Sha knows a very good restaurant, which is said to be a specialty of Fu Yan Town!"

Aysa is from LavaCity. Her grandfather was one of the former Hoenn League Elite Four and is now the LavaCity Gym Leader.

"Kou Jie?"

Gastly, which had shrunk a few sizes and hadn't fully recovered, poked its head out, blinked its eyes, and seemed quite interested.

In the end, under the expectant gazes of Daigo and the other two, Jinghe agreed.

It wasn't that he was worried about his wallet; he was just a little worried about it.

After all, once is enough to hint at something to Daigo.

Even if these three students should theoretically be richer than him, as a teacher, it is really unreasonable for him to ask the students to treat him to a meal.

After receiving Jinghe's response, Asha winked secretly at Dujuan and Dawu.

As soon as I stepped out of the Pokémon Center.

The sweltering heat hit us.

Take a few more steps forward, and when you turn around, you'll see a huge mountain, which is the iconic mountain of the Hoenn region—Mt. Chimney!

Mt. Chimney is a volcano located inland in the Hoenn region, reaching a height of 1,500 meters. Although it has not erupted for many years, the mountain continues to emit high temperatures, making it a dormant volcano.

From afar, one can see the black volcanic ash, like black snow, slowly drifting down.

As it fell to a certain height, the black snow resembled giant dark raven feathers, swirling and turning before finally being swept away by the mountain winds and falling northeastward.

It is foreseeable that if the thick volcanic ash were to cover the area, it would inevitably have a significant impact on the surrounding environment.

However, although Fubuki Town is located at the foot of Chimney Mountain, it is on the southern side of the mountain. Due to the influence of the mountain winds, only a small amount of volcanic ash occasionally falls near Fubuki Town, so it does not cause much of an impact.

On the contrary, the high temperature of Chimney Mountain, a dormant volcano, has given Fuyan Town a unique feature: "volcanic hot springs," which has attracted many people to come here.

'In Chimney Mountain, is it asleep, unable to fly?'

Looking at the towering mountain shrouded in mist before him, Jing He couldn't help but think to himself.

If that guy shows up, I'm afraid...
But then he immediately laughed at himself.

How unlucky do you have to be to encounter Groudon the moment you arrive at Mt. Chimney?
Besides, Groudon is still asleep and doesn't have the "Crimson Orb," so even if you dance on its head, it probably won't wake up.

"teacher?"

Daigo and his two companions, who had already walked some distance toward their target restaurant, then noticed that Jinghe was staring blankly at Chimney Mountain.

Jinghe snapped out of her daze, tightened her clothes, and slowly followed.

It must be admitted that in such a hot place as Fuyan Town, Gastly played a very important role—it lowered Jinghe's perceived temperature by at least five degrees, making it less hot.

"Kou Jie——"

Now you know how amazing we are, right?
"Kiss—hiccup—"

In a relatively secluded restaurant in Flamebringer Town, Gastly lay comfortably on a cushion and let out a long burp.

When Jinghe returned after paying, she couldn't help but twitch at the sight of it.

It ate the most of this meal!
Next was Aya, who insisted on eating at this restaurant, followed by Daigo and Jinghe, and finally Dujuan.

But it must be admitted that the food at this restaurant is indeed quite good.

Especially the onsen egg rice bowl, it was made with a real onsen egg. "Now that we're full, what should we do this afternoon?" Asha sat down casually, her gaze sweeping over Jinghe and the other two, looking somewhat bored.

Jinghe knew perfectly well what she wanted to say, especially from the way she seemed to be hiding something, but in fact, she was revealing it to Dawu and Dujuan with her eyes.

This made Daigo facepalm, and Cuckoo slowly turned her head away as well.
"How about we go to Chimney Mountain?" Asha, unaware of her "accomplice's" odd behavior, slammed her hand on the table and continued her "performance."

"Kou Jie!"

Jinghe didn't react much, but Gastly, who was a little sleepy after eating, was startled.

He cast a "malicious" glance at Aysa.

This is the person who fought the hardest with me just now!
"How about it? I know a really fun place on Chimney Mountain with lots of wild Pokémon," Aysa continued, making full use of her "local" advantage.

Seeing how hard Aya was working, Daigo and Dujuan couldn't keep "selling" her, and both turned their gazes toward Jinghe.

Unfazed by the gazes of the three, Jing He calmly sipped her tea.

"The permitted area of ​​free movement is limited to Fuyan Town, excluding Chimney Mountain."

"As long as the teacher agrees, that's fine, so isn't this asking you, Teacher Jinghe?" Yasha continued to plead.

"No."

But Jinghe refused quite decisively.

"I assure you there is no danger!"

"No."

"It's not far from Fuyan Town. I used to go there often when I was a child."

"No."

"."

No matter how much Asha pleaded, Jinghe's answer was always just two extremely calm words—No.

This stubbornness of Asha's greatly distressed her.

"Let me introduce you to my best friend! She's incredibly beautiful!" Asha used her trump card.

"No?"

Jinghe was taken aback, as were Dawu and Dujuan.

"Cough, no." Jing He coughed lightly, regaining her senses, and still refused.

"Do you even know who my best friend is? She's—" Asha stomped her foot angrily, glaring fiercely at Jing He, "I challenge you! If I win, we can go into the mountains!"

Then she quickly added, "Teacher, you're not scared, are you?"

Jing He smiled slightly, "Provocation won't work on me."

Asha scratched her head abruptly.

Finally, having run out of options, he raised his head, pursed his lips, and said, "If you don't agree, fine. Anyway, no one knows this place better than me. I can sneak out without anyone noticing."

Don't say it.

This tactic actually had some effect.

Jinghe looked at Daigo, "Daigo, do you also want to go into the mountains?"

Facing Jinghe's gaze, Daigo opened his mouth, then finally explained somewhat embarrassedly, "I heard there's a very special kind of volcanic rock in Chimney Mountain."

Jing He sighed, then looked at Ya Sha and said calmly, "Alright, I accept your challenge. If you win, you can go in; if you lose, you'll have to listen to me."

"However, as you know, I'm just an ordinary Pokémon psychologist, and you only recently caught Gastly. You don't want to be labeled as a 'bully,' do you?"

Upon hearing this, Dujuan and Daigo exchanged a glance, thinking to themselves, "This is bad."

Before they could even remind her, Aysa confidently patted her chest and replied, "No problem! I also have a Pokémon that I just caught not long ago!"

Snapped!
Daigo and Cuckoo both facepalmed.

Jinghe didn't fall for Yasha's "reverse psychology," but Yasha actually fell for Jinghe's "praise to death."

"Ku-Ku Jie?"

Of course, the most confused one at this moment was Gastly standing to the side.

How did the conversation end up talking about it?
