Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

"If I said it was just a coincidence, would they believe me?" Lin Xuan said after thinking for a moment.

"Even though there's such a thing as a streamer and their fans, you should at least have a lower limit to your expectations of your fans' intelligence, right?" Zhong Mingyi said speechlessly.

"Aaaaaah! Never mind, let's talk about it after the match!"

After thinking for a long time without coming up with any good ideas, Lin Xuan simply gave up and decided to wait until after the competition.

"Don't give up! As the saying goes, it's never too late to mend the fence after the sheep are lost..."

"The oriole is unaware of the mantis behind."

Zhong Mingyi spoke with an air of enjoying the spectacle, but before he could finish, Lin Xuan interrupted him.

Zhong Mingyi: ...

Who taught you Chinese?

"That's what the PE teacher taught me. I have to go now, goodbye, bye!" Lin Xuan gave Zhong Mingyi a quick three-part greeting and then hung up.

Anyway, this guy is unlikely to give me any good advice.

Open up!

Lin Xuan thought to herself after stuffing another mouthful of noodles into her mouth.

But to my surprise, Zhong Mingyi called me again.

"What is it now?"

"It's nothing, just a reminder from someone who's been there: remember to wear a mask when you go later."

Hmm~ Is it really that bad?

Lin Xuan glanced at her number of followers. Although it had almost doubled since the beginning, it shouldn't be to the point where she could run into one every time she went out, right?

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

"Dandan?"

Just as Xiaodian, who was being held in Lin Xuan's arms, tried to lift the hat off her head, Lin Xuan suppressed her again, and she could only ask in a low voice.

What is this for?

"Although Xiao Zhong's character isn't great, I think what he said still has some merit."

Eevee has already been put into its Poké Ball and will be released later. After all, there are quite a few viewers who are holding Pokémon in their arms, but there aren't many who are holding one in their arms and have another flying on their head.

Just as he was about to enter the players' passage, someone slapped him hard from behind, startling Lin Xuan.

Then, turning around, he saw it was Song Chen and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Scared me."

"Your outfit...did your senior teach you to dress like that?"

Song Chen looked Lin Xuan up and down before speaking.

"how do you know?"

"When my senior went to participate in the competition, he was surrounded by fans. Despite his aggressive online persona, he is actually somewhat socially awkward and rarely talks to strangers."

Song Chen shrugged helplessly. He was obviously aware that Lin Xuan had accidentally revealed his identity, but since he already knew Lin Xuan's true identity, he didn't have any special reaction.

Otherwise, he would probably be the first one to come and confront Lin Xuan at this time.

"From that day on, he would dress up nicely for almost every competition."

"I'll go in first, we'll talk later."

Lin Xuan glanced at the time and then pointed to the passage.

“Together,” Song Chen said without hesitation.

"You're not a contestant." Lin Xuan pointed to the large characters above—[Contestant Only]

"But I'm the team leader, so I can still pass."

Lin Xuan could only express her envy, as their school didn't even have a team leader.

After all, most students only make it to the first round, and they're all in Jianghai City. After the competition, they just go home and sleep. It would be a waste to have a team leader...

After chatting with Song Chen for a bit, Lin Xuan headed towards the competition venue, while Song Chen went to the players' rest area. The two soon parted ways.

"I've picked them all!"

Now that they were here, Lin Xuan naturally took off her mask and then took the hat from Xiao Dian's head and put it on her own.

He bought this on the spot; it's a red baseball cap with a Poké Ball logo on it, seemingly an official product of the League. It's not cheap, costing several tens of dollars, but the quality is pretty good.

Lin Xuan bought it because it looked a bit like Xiao Zhi's hat, hoping for good luck...

Wait a minute, Ash's hat doesn't seem very auspicious either! This guy has never won a championship except for the Alola tournament and the Orange League, which were rural competitions.

Is using this thing as a mascot really effective?

Lin Xuan looked the hat over from side to side.

Forget it, let's just consider it the same style as Red Lord's. Anyway, there shouldn't be any difference, right?

“Is he handsome?”

Lin Xuan released Ibu, adjusted her baseball cap, and asked the two little ones.

Ibrahimovic: ...

Little Dot: ...

"Buyi Buyi~"

Ibu patted its paws very perfunctorily.

"Forget it, I'm not going to talk about this with you tasteless guys."

Lin Xuan pursed her lips and walked straight to the arena.

Just before officially leaving the passage and arriving at the stadium, Lin Xuan stopped, took out her phone, took a group photo of herself and the two little ones, and uploaded it to her social media.

Good luck in the game!

Fast forward to Chapter 113, where the character gets brutally beaten up by viewers.

After Lin Xuan posted this update, the comments section went completely crazy. After all, although it was basically a done deal that Mimikyu was the "mysterious player" from Huada University, with conclusive evidence, Lin Xuan himself had never admitted it.

But after posting this update, Lin Xuan completely dropped the pretense, and even her brother Jie disappeared.

【Mimi-Oka-sensei is so cute!】

[I'm coming clean! I'm not pretending anymore!]

[Teacher Mimikyu tricked us so badly!]

No wonder we can't provide live commentary on the mystery player's match.

[I should have sensed something was off when Mimikyu was praising the mysterious player so much during his commentary!]

[Shameless! He was just bragging!]

As soon as Lin Xuan stepped onto the battlefield, enthusiastic cheers erupted from the audience. Some shouted the name "Lin Xuan," but many others called out the online name "Mi Ni Qiu."

Lin Xuan scratched his head. The worst-case scenario had come true. This scene was a little too scary!

Moreover, when he turned to look at his opponent in this competition, he was surprised to find that the other person's gaze seemed somewhat strange...

No way?

Lin Xuan had a terrifying thought in her mind, and then she saw the player opposite her walking quickly towards her.

VIP seats in the arena

"You students... are quite popular!"

Fan Yuan doesn't usually go online, so he naturally doesn't know what Mimikyu is. He just thinks Lin Xuan's popularity is ridiculously high. Even if this is Jianghai City, and Lin Xuan is currently the only one in Jianghai City, it shouldn't be this high, right?

"Uh... this kid seems to be some kind of streamer online?"

After all, he was one of his own students, and Zhao Qi occasionally paid attention to online news, so he just saw Lin Xuan trending on social media.

“Your student… is quite talented!” Fan Yuan’s lips twitched. If he remembered correctly, this student had previously said that he was a researcher under Dr. Sun.

"Ahem, after all, our school focuses on the all-round development of students," Zhao Qi said bluntly.

Fan Yuan glanced at Zhao Qi, clearly thinking that this guy was becoming increasingly shameless. If Lin Xuan's status as a researcher could still be said to be related to you, then this streamer is related too? When did your school start having this major?

"Mr. Mimiqiu, my name is Tang Ming, and I'm a fan of yours!"

As soon as the other person approached, they excitedly spoke to Lin Xuan.

"Uh... hello hello."

Although I encountered the situation I least wanted to see, I still had to say hello since I met some fellow fans.

What Lin Xuan didn't notice at that moment was that three messenger birds were flying above their heads, broadcasting their scene live.

"Take pictures! These three messenger birds aren't going anywhere today, just keep an eye on them here and take pictures!" Such a voice came from backstage at the competition. Everyone knew that they had hit the jackpot this time.

[Hahaha, did Teacher Mimikyu run into a fan?]
