Pokémon: The Zen Trainer

Chapter 71 You Are My Disciple (Two Updates)

There was one more thing, Master Guang Sheng thought to himself as he looked at it.

"I would like to hand over some of the management of the trumpet bud tower to you."

"what?"

Bian Xiang's usually composed face fell.

"That can't be right! Master, I'm a high school student!"

"No, you can't. I observed for a month before making this decision."

"Hiring child labor is forbidden!"

"You're my apprentice, and besides, if I don't pay you a salary, it doesn't count as employment."

Master Guang Sheng answered very quickly.

“Master, look, I have to finish the homework you assigned, compete with the school team, and high school courses are very demanding. In addition, I have two Pokémon to train. How can I have time to take care of your tower?”

"Don't think I don't know you skip class every day! Based on your previous performance, you'd still be number one even if you didn't study, and I'll have Mu Nian help you."

"You just need to practice signing those official documents."

"Of course, in order not to affect your Pokémon training, you can accept these for now."

Master Guang Sheng stood up and walked towards the cabinet.

He took a box out of the cabinet.

"Our temple just received some ice-attribute energy blocks."

"It can quickly enhance a Pokémon's sensitivity to ice-type energy."

"Your Snow Child should be just right."

He looked at the inscription on the energy cube.

Chihiro Suda is a famous master of creating ice-attribute energy cubes.

Bell bud towers are all grass-type, so why would they need ice-type energy blocks?

This is the energy cube that Master Guang Sheng specially bought for Snow Child, and you can't buy the engraved energy cube through ordinary means.

This is a custom-made piece by a master craftsman; the master probably came to request it personally.

Bian Xiang sighed.

"Is it really necessary, Master? I couldn't refuse you even if you just gave me a few ice-attribute energy cubes."

"As for it! You are my disciple!"

"Mu Nian!"

Master Guang Sheng clapped his hands.

Mu Nian walked up with a stack of documents.

These are the documents that you need to decide on.

Mu Nian placed it in front of Bian Xiang and said calmly.

"This... Master? That's too fast!"

"Not fast, not fast~"

Master Guang Sheng waved his hand.

"I'll leave this to you and Mu Nian. My lower back has been feeling a bit uncomfortable these past few days, so I'll go back to sleep first."

Damn it! I was so touched just now. Even capitalists don't treat people like this. Give me back my gratitude!

.....

The next day, Bian Xiang, sporting dark circles under his eyes, staggered towards Haruno Middle School.

He worked until 3 a.m. yesterday! It was almost dawn when Mu Nian finally let him go to sleep.

Capitalists! Absolute capitalists! Is this how they exploit a student?

I'm going to go to school today and get a good night's sleep!

Trumpet bud tower.

Master Guangsheng looked at Mu Nian.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Mu Nian carefully put the documents away one by one.

"This is what I should do."

"Haha, how's my disciple?"

Mu Nian paused, then uttered two words.

"A polymath".

At first, Mu Nian thought that Master Guang Sheng was being a bit too hasty, but now Mu Nian has completely changed his mind.

I think that such a genius needs to be properly exploited!

Why would a high school student have such far-sighted insights?

He was simply unfamiliar with the procedures, but after Mu Nian gave him some pointers, his efficiency quickly improved.

Moreover, some of the ideas he raised were ones that Mu Nian had never considered.

But upon closer examination, it's quite feasible! The idea is unique and visionary!

They are only lacking in some procedures and basic office knowledge, but once they fill in the gaps, they will be able to take on important responsibilities.

Okay, from now on, the trumpet bud tower will be in your and Bian Xiang's hands.

Mu Nian paused again as he was tidying up the documents.

.....

As I was thinking, my left foot just stepped into the school gate.

"I was thinking I'd be late."

"Teacher Du? What a coincidence."

Du Congyu crossed his arms and just looked at it while thinking.

"Teacher, let me explain!"

"No need to explain, the principal wants to see you."

???

.....

Principal's office.

A silver-haired girl sat down and took a small sip of tea.

Grandpa Fu stood beside the girl.

"We will be entrusting our young lady to your esteemed school from now on."

"Not at all, it's an honor to have the eldest daughter of the Carnation Family come to our school as an exchange student for a month."

"Oh, right, Principal Okamoto."

Vigus looked up at Principal Okamoto.

"Is there someone at your school named Ash who has a Shiny Gastly?"

"A Shiny Gastly, Ash?"

Isn't this something you're thinking about?

Bian Xiang is now Principal Okamoto's darling.

After Kikyo Dojo sent over the training evaluation yesterday, Bian Xiang's position in the principal's mind is temporarily unshakeable.

School team matches are out of the question.

Before figuring out Vigus's specific intentions, the headmaster decided to keep it a secret for the time being.

"Hahaha, we don't have a student named Xiaozhi at our school."

"I see." Vigus looked thoughtfully at the principal's expression.

"Haha, you two, why don't you take a tour of our school first?"

"I'll have the teacher show you around properly."

"Principal, may I specify a name?"

Vigus smiled and raised her hand.

"Oh? Who are you thinking of?"

"I heard that there's a student at your school named Bian Xiang. He's the one."
