Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

"Go, Gallade!"

Liu Quan:? ? ? ?

Are you kidding me?

Looking at the Gallade standing in front of him, Liu Quan felt as if a million mud horses were galloping through his heart.

Based on his experience, this Gallade is probably, maybe, possibly... a three-star level, right?

You're telling me you've become this strong after only six months as a trainer? And this is only your third Pokémon?

Can you at least make up a better lie?

Seeing her senior brother completely bewildered, even Cheng Yin couldn't bear to watch any longer. She patted her forehead and turned her head away, thinking, "If I can't stand it, I won't look anymore. As long as I can't see it, it didn't happen!"

After standing there stunned for a moment, Liu Quan finally came to his senses and said to Lin Xuan with some dissatisfaction.

"Even if you are very strong, if you deliberately lied during the assessment just now, I have the right to disqualify you from the assessment, and the Jinhui City Dojo will never hire you again."

"That's right, Senior Brother Liu, he really wasn't lying!"

Cheng Yin, who was standing to the side, finally couldn't help but interject. After all, Lin Xuan was from the same school as her. She had just thought about it and realized that if Lin Xuan were to be kicked out, it would be a little difficult for her to distance herself from the situation.

"what?"

Liu Quan turned to look at his junior sister, momentarily stunned.

However, although he wasn't very perceptive in that area, he wasn't stupid either. He knew that Cheng Yin was still studying at Huada University, and she would occasionally mention someone to them.

"Lin Xuan?"

Liu Quan vaguely guessed Lin Xuan's identity and turned to look at him with some doubt, but he was not entirely sure.

"Ahem, I want to participate in the upcoming martial arts tournament, so I'd like to come to Jinhui Dojo to train for a while first."

Lin Xuan also took off his mask, mainly because it was really inappropriate for him, as a coach at the Jianghai City Dojo, to become a member of the Jinhui City Dojo.

Like last time at the Kawafu City Dojo, it was Zhong Mingyi's recommendation, plus Zhang Qiming's support, that was enough to learn a bit there. But as for the Jinhui City Dojo... Lin Xuan doesn't seem to have any connections!

If you try to join Jinhui Dojo normally, you'll probably get kicked out in the end.

So after being recognized, Lin Xuan directly stated the purpose of her trip, and Liu Quan, who was standing to the side, understood, but quickly frowned.

"But you are, after all, a coach at the Jianghai City Dojo. According to the league's rules, you can't..."

"It's okay, give him a chance."

Just as Liu Quan was about to politely decline Lin Xuan's application, a deep voice came from not far away.

The three turned around, and Liu Quan and Cheng Yin both bowed.

"teacher."

"Master Luo." Lin Xuan nodded in greeting. The middle-aged man standing before him was none other than Luo Guan, the current master of Jinhui City.

"Ah."

Luo Guan simply nodded with his arms crossed as he looked at Cheng Yin and Liu Quan's luggage, but his main focus remained on Lin Xuan.

"You want to come to Jinhui City Dojo to learn?"

“Yes, Jinhui Martial Arts Academy is a sacred place of Chinese martial arts, and I have admired it for a long time. Preparing for the martial arts tournament is one thing, but more importantly, it's because of my awe and longing for Jinhui Martial Arts Academy, and also…”

Once Lin Xuan started talking, she showed no sign of stopping. At first, Luo Guan thought it was normal, but the more he listened, the more something seemed off.

"Stop, stop, stop, stop!"

Is Chapter 277 really targeting me like this?

To be honest, Luo Guan had a pretty good impression of Lin Xuan before. In his opinion, Lin Xuan was a very promising rising star who could overshadow the current generation of the Zhang family and the Yulong family.

However, after meeting him today, Luo Guan felt that his thoughts might change slightly...

This guy seems a bit unreliable!

"I'm speaking from the bottom of my heart!"

Although Luo Guan stopped him, Lin Xuan continued to add to the story, which even Cheng Yin, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand. She hadn't seen Lin Xuan for so long, but he hadn't changed at all...

No, I should have anticipated this before bringing him into this dojo.

"No need to say so much, didn't you want to join our dojo to learn?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Lin Xuan nodded quickly.

"for what?"

"I want to win the championship for the martial arts tournament in a little over a month," Lin Xuan said without any hesitation.

"Then what was the point of winning the championship?" Luo Guan continued to press.

"It's mainly because of my passion for martial arts..."

Before Lin Xuan could finish speaking, Luo Guan interrupted him. He knew that if this guy continued talking like that, none of them would get to eat lunch today. Lin Xuan's mouth was really long-winded and unpredictable.

"to be honest."

"I want something that only your dojo has as a reward for winning the championship, so I have no choice but to participate in the competition."

Lin Xuan's tone immediately changed 180 degrees, and Cheng Yin could only facepalm and lower her head. She began to regret bringing Lin Xuan in. Although many people participate in the competition for this reason, and the teacher also asked you to tell the truth, couldn't you have been a little more tactful?

At least come up with some reason or something.

Luo Guan simply shook his head after hearing this.

“You have no interest in pursuing martial arts, and you only have one Fighting-type Pokémon. This doesn’t align with the philosophy of the Jin Hui Gym. This place is not suitable for you.”

As soon as Luo Guan finished speaking, Lin Xuan and Cheng Yin felt a pang of anxiety. Were they really planning to kick them out like that?

But before Lin Xuan and the others could say anything to remedy the situation, they saw Luo Guan's lips crack open again, revealing a hearty smile.

"But you're willing to tell the truth, which suits my taste. Anyway, this precedent has already been broken, so it doesn't matter if it's broken again."

Upon hearing Luo Guan's words, Lin Xuan and Cheng Yin both breathed a sigh of relief.

"So you're agreeing?"

With Lin Xuan's strength, he naturally doesn't need to worry about any assessment. In fact, if Liu Quan doesn't go all out, he's no match for Lin Xuan at all, even if he only sends out Gallade.

"Yes, but you came to Jinhui Dojo only to train for a while, and you don't intend to join, right?"

"Uh...that's true, after all, my boss is still Zhong Mingyi."

Lin Xuan blinked and said quite sincerely that if he really joined the Jinhui City Dojo and returned to Jianghai City, Zhong Mingyi would probably have to come and have a good "heart-to-heart" talk with him.

“Then we can’t go through the normal apprenticeship process.” Luo Guan shook his head first, then looked at Lin Xuan and pointed to Liu Quan on the side, and continued.

"How about this, if you can defeat him, I'll make an exception and let you study at the dojo for a while under the guise of being a temporary student."

Jin Hui Dojo has a long history and more heritage than other dojos, but correspondingly, it also has more rules, some of which have been passed down for hundreds of years and should not be broken.

Even decades ago, the number of disciples at Jin Hui Dojo was very small. It was only in recent years, due to the requirements of the alliance, that it gradually opened up a bit. However, the requirements for apprentices are still very high, and it is also more traditional.

"Me?" Liu Quan, who was standing to the side, was taken aback when he heard Luo Guan's words, and then stepped forward.

"Yes, use your Bricaron."

"Yes!"

Although he didn't quite understand what his teacher meant, he immediately agreed.

After giving instructions to Liu Quan, Luo Guan turned to look at Lin Xuan.

"As for you... you can only use that Gallade, since you only have that one Fighting-type Pokémon, right?"

"it is good!"

Without hesitation, Lin Xuan accepted the challenge. After all, this was the only way out. He would fight first and see what happened later. If he couldn't win, he would think of another way. He could always rely on himself!

"Teacher, isn't this a bit too difficult?" Cheng Yin said anxiously after glancing at Lin Xuan.

She was well aware of Liu Quan's strength; he was considered one of the top in his generation. Although his Bricaron wasn't his strongest Pokémon, it was still one of his main Pokémon. If Lin Xuan had sent out his Electabuzz, she would have been somewhat confident, given the complete type advantage.

Secondly, the strength of that electric flying squirrel was indeed a bit unfathomable to her; it was progressing at a rapid pace, and she didn't even know what level it had reached at this point.

According to Lin Xuan, Gallade is already a three-star champion, so there's no reason why Emolga shouldn't be.

As for Gallade... her impression of it was still somewhat stuck in the Kirlia era. Although she also had a Gallade and knew that the improvement brought by its evolution was huge, she did not think that such an evolution could immediately close such a big gap in strength.

"What's the point of an assessment without any difficulty? Come over here and watch."

Luo Guan simply shook his head at Cheng Yin's words, then crossed his arms and walked to the side. Cheng Yin could only follow. Over this period of time, she had come to understand her teacher's personality quite well; once he made a decision, there was basically no possibility of changing it.

All Cheng Yin could do was give Lin Xuan a helpless look as she passed by.

Lin Xuan could only reply helplessly.

"Senior, please give me more trust. How do you know I can't beat you?"

Cheng Yin glared at him. This guy had no idea about Liu Quan's strength. She should have done some homework for him before he came in. After all, although Liu Quan's Bricaron was very strong, its weaknesses were also relatively obvious.

The two quickly returned to their respective sides of the assessment area. As for Machop, Liu Quan had already put it away; he had only used this Pokémon because he had been tricked by Lin Xuan in the beginning…

But thinking about it carefully, Lin Xuan seems to be telling the absolute truth in everything he says... which makes him even more despicable! A whole Versailles!

"Ailu!"
