Elf: Starts with small diamonds, then mutates into Diancie.

Jiang Zihan believed that with this junior's potential, he would catch up with them in no time, and it would be a pity if he didn't join the school team.

He thought to himself that even if this junior wasn't a sophomore, but only a freshman, even if only his ace Milotic was outstanding in combat power.

He also wants

Try to persuade the two vice-captains and the captain to let this junior join the school team!

But he was also a little uneasy. In his memory, he had never seen this junior before, whether he was a sophomore or a freshman in the combat department. Judging from the reactions outside the arena, the sophomores didn't seem to know him either. Could this junior not be a student in the combat department?

Even though Jiang Zihan had already mentally prepared for the worst—that this junior wasn't a combat major—he was still stunned by Su Hao's answer.

Su Hao looked at Jiang Zihan with an obedient expression, tilted his head and said to him, "Senior, I'm still a senior in high school, so I'm afraid I can't join the Shanghai University team yet."

"what???"

After saying that, Su Hao ignored the petrified Jiang Zihan and strode towards Zhao Xing, who had been locked onto by his waveguide and was unable to accept the situation.

Because of the shockwave from the recent battle, the area around the battlefield is now surrounded by students from Shanghai University who have rushed to the scene!

"Senior Zhao, let's make our escape!"

If we don't run now, we'll be surrounded like in the arena competition in Yangcheng!

"Huh?...Oh!" Overloaded, Zhao Xing obediently followed Su Hao, squeezing through the crowd of students and running wildly towards the exit of the arena!

Lin Yu: "Damn it, why did you guys run away?"

He then realized that his acquaintance had run away with Su Hao, leaving him here!

......

In this coaching match, each member of the Shanghai University team had their own designated match area to play against.

As night fell and the crowd gradually dispersed, these privileged individuals gathered in small groups.

At this moment, everyone was only talking about one topic.

Jiang Zihan, who was among the top students in her junior year, has had a mishap!

Dai Wu crouched down and patted the dust off his boots from the battle. He then casually asked Jiang Zihan, who was crouching to the side, "I heard from the students outside the battlefield that you and Serpent were defeated?"

“...Yes.” Jiang Zihan’s thoughts were a little scattered.

“I’ve heard about it too. Could you tell me about it if it’s convenient?” Mu Xia suddenly appeared from behind Dai Wu and said to Jiang Zihan.

She and Dai Wu had a good relationship with Jiang Zihan, so they naturally knew that this guy hadn't been hurt at all. Therefore, unlike other school team members who were afraid of upsetting Jiang Zihan and discussed it from a distance, they didn't.

"......Can."

Jiang Zihan recounted how she was randomly selected to be a late junior, and how the junior sent out a mid-level elite Milotic, which completely overwhelmed her Serpent.

"Wow... To be able to push your Serperior to that point, it seems this junior's ace Milotic is really strong. I really want Blaziken to fight him!" Battle fanatic Muxia exclaimed.

Dai Wu watched helplessly as Mu Xia's attention shifted to the other side, and he said helplessly, "Have you asked this junior's name and major? I think we can definitely recruit him into the school team in advance."

After saying that, Dai Wu looked at Jiang Zihan and found that his eyes were performing a pupil earthquake.

Dai Wu understood; it seemed Jiang Zihan had forgotten to ask the handsome junior's name and major.

He comforted you, "What's wrong? It's okay if you didn't ask. Just go look for it when the time comes."

“Yeah, yeah, if all else fails, just ask your counselor for help!” Mu Xia chimed in.

As if in an emotional outburst, Jiang Zihan raised her voice slightly and said, "I asked... but he said he's not a student at Shanghai University, just a senior in high school!!"

Dai Wu and Mu Xia: "Huh???"

A moment later, the two, having learned the whole story from Jiang Zihan, exclaimed in surprise, "High school students these days are really outrageous. Speaking of which, we also encountered a particularly outrageous high school student when we went to challenge the dojo not long ago."

"Outrageous? Tell me more!" Jiang Zihan, having vented her emotions and regained her composure, asked curiously.

Dai Wu and Mu Xia exchanged a glance and recounted what had happened on Ice Feather Mountain: "I remember, that boy's ace was Blazing Roaring Tiger, and his Little Diamond was also highly skilled as a support, even capable of unleashing the Sunny Day move..."

Chapter 162 Admissions Office

5 PM, Shanghai University.

In the admissions office of Shanghai University, a young man dressed in a suit and trousers, wearing glasses, and looking somewhat travel-worn, sat wearily in an ordinary office chair that was neither too hard nor too soft.

"Although my back still hurts, at least I can sit down for a bit..." he sighed.

He spends most of his time traveling, so naturally he doesn't have the time or inclination to buy a comfortable ergonomic chair.

Just a few days ago, he went to a city next to Shanghai to persuade a talented high school senior trainer to apply to Shanghai University.

Logically, universities should only send their key departments—admissions offices—to compete for promising students when outstanding talents emerge during university cup competitions or the national college entrance examination.

However, this high school freshman's talent was so outstanding that many universities had already sent people to contact him. Shanghai University, not wanting to be left behind, sent him to try to contact this genius.

Although these past few days have been filled with backstabbing and infighting with several old acquaintances, and constant lobbying throughout the city for this genius and her parents and relatives.

The result was encouraging; the genius expressed his desire to visit Shanghai University, making his trip worthwhile.

"It was worthwhile to see it for myself; it's consistent with the information gathered by the intelligence department..." the young man muttered to himself as he opened his laptop and began filling out a report.

Although they finish get off work at 5 o'clock, work from 9 to 5, have their lunch break counted as working time, receive overtime pay, and have weekends and holidays off, there are still unavoidable overtime situations in order for the work to proceed smoothly, such as now.

"Information confirmed... This girl specializes in Fairy-type Pokémon and already has three early-stage Elite-level Pokémon. Based on actual observation and battles, her talent rating is: Excellent." After typing this out, the young man uploaded it to a shared folder.

The talent rating is generated by summarizing students' comprehensive qualities within Shanghai universities and then evaluating them by professionals.

The student's rating directly affects the maximum amount of resources that Shanghai University can invest in recruiting top-tier students.

The rating is not fixed and may be adjusted based on the student's subsequent performance, potentially going up or down.

Most universities in the All-China Alliance have adopted this mechanism, which allows for the ranking of priorities through statistical analysis by professionals, making it very convenient.

The young man took out a cigarette case from his suit pocket, lit one, put it in his mouth, took a deep breath, and sighed softly, "I can go home in a little while."

He didn't originally smoke, but he had to learn because he often had to deal with all sorts of people. Otherwise, he wouldn't have an advantage compared to the seasoned veterans from other universities who drank, smoked, and went to pedicures.

Thanks to his own adaptability, he is now able to become an admissions officer at Shanghai University.

The young man aimlessly browsed the documents in the shared folder, his right middle finger scrolling upwards with the mouse wheel... until he reached the top of the talent rating folder, where he fell into a reverie.

Name: Su Hao

【Age: 17.5】

Specialization Attribute: None

[Pokémon Strength: Three Elite-level Pokémon, One Beginner-level Pokémon]

[Small, differently colored diamonds (possibly possessing professional-level combat power)]

【Blazing Roaring Tiger (Elite-level, Top Tier)】

【Minas (Elite Top-Tier)】

【Misia, a newborn multicolor dragon】

[Experience: Collected all four beginner gym badges; defeated thirteen elite gyms single-handedly using Incineroar in the high school tournament]

[Possesses a special ability—Aura Power—and appears to have created a technique to support Pokémon.]

[Talent Rating: Highest Priority]

[Note: We promised to provide them with the best resources to join Shanghai University]

This is an astonishingly long report. In addition to the brief table, the following is a list of information collected by Shanghai University from various sources.

The young man remembered it was a beautiful, sunny day, and he was leisurely lying on a deck chair enjoying his vacation.

After all, it's only the beginning of the senior year of high school.

Students have already enrolled, making this the most leisurely time of the year.

His good fortune was short-lived; a barrage of calls from the admissions director completely ruined his vacation.

The mission is to reach out to a student who has just completed a gym challenge in Water City, a city known as the Water City, and improve his impression of Shanghai University so that he will choose Shanghai University in the future.

In their line of work, speed is everything. After arriving in Shuizhou City by plane, he ran into several of his old rivals as soon as he stepped out of the airport.

Neither side would back down, and they searched for several days in Shuizhou City but found nothing.

He even suspected that Su Hao had fallen into the sea.

Then, due to the alliance's request, the school withdrew them. After internal discussions at Shanghai University, since they couldn't contact Su Hao, they decided to go to his parents.

Su Hao's mother was a PhD and was conducting research, so it was inconvenient for them to contact her. In the end, the universities decided to target Su Hao's father, Su Xu, the Fire-type Pavilion Master.

Finally, perhaps annoyed by his colleagues' harassment, Su Xu left a message saying, "Send me the invitation letter and let my son choose," and then could no longer be contacted.

"Speaking of which, the invitations have been sent out for a while now, but they haven't contacted our director yet. It seems they've already been mailed."

The young man deeply mourned the loss of his prize money...

Suddenly, a group chat notification popped up on my phone.
