Pokémon: Encounter

Nan Fang looked coldly at the three people who were standing together dejectedly.

"I'm not trying to make things difficult for you. To be honest, if we really participate in the college competition with the current lineup, you might as well give me the 100,000 yuan prize money now."

"I know what you want to say." The mocking man and the thin man were about to retort when they were interrupted by Nan Fang. "You don't even know the strength of other countries, so why should we just replace you?"

The two were stunned. Nan Fang said exactly what they wanted to say.

"This year is different from the past. I believe you are all aware of the news about Operation Island. This is indeed a huge resource boost. Because of our country's strong national strength, no matter who wins in the end, all the resources will still be ours."

"So, do you think other countries will just sit there and watch our country monopolize resources? They will just give their all in future college competitions and use whatever means necessary to leave the championship to them."

"Another one is Senior Brother Bai Xingjian from the Research Institute. He was a participant in the last competition. Although he only lost in the first round. I don't mean to laugh at him. I know his strength. He is stronger than any of you sitting here. Even he was eliminated in the first round, let alone you."

"Not letting you go is actually good for you."

"That's all I can say."

After saying that, Nan Fang turned around and quietly found a place to sit down and rest. Absol sensed Nan Fang's emotions and snuggled up to Nan Fang.

Nan Fang smiled and stroked Absol, "I'm sorry for making you worry."

"Abo~"

Looking at the speechless people, Mr. Zhou sighed.

"Nanfang is right. This is actually the reason why we brought Nanfang here. First, to test your strength. Second, this is the current situation. If it is not suitable, we must make adjustments immediately."

"This college competition is bound to cause a bloody storm."

After a moment, the two seemed to understand the truth, looked at each other, and then spoke at the same time.

"We agreed to withdraw from the competition team."

After saying that, he stood aside dejectedly.

"Good boy, the academy has seen your efforts. But you must remember that there are always people better than you. You still have a long way to go, so don't lose heart."

Mr. Zhou’s words seemed to have some kind of magic, which made the two lost young men regain their spirits.

"Then... I'll quit too..." Xiaomai was very sad. She also had a family, but it was nothing compared to the giants. She had finally reached this position through her own efforts, but now she had to give up on her own initiative. She was really unwilling to accept this, and she suddenly wanted to cry.

"Hu Xiaona, you stay." Lu Lu's cold voice suddenly reached Hu Xiaona's ears.

Huh? Hu Xiaona was stunned. Did she hear anything wrong?

"Nana, congratulations on getting the recognition of the teachers." The sweet girl next to her smiled and pushed Hu Xiaona, who was standing there motionless.

"Really? I can stay!? Great! Eh? But... I just lost too... I think I might hold everyone back..."

Hu Xiaona was ecstatic, but when she thought about how badly she had just been beaten by Nan Fang, she became unconfident again.

"You heard it right," Lu Lu continued, "Your position is a support position, which fully meets the requirements of the team configuration. Although the people of the Song family are actually more suitable for this position, they chose the island operation."

"And your performance is usually quite outstanding in all aspects except for those few members of the Song family. So, congratulations, you have obtained this position entirely through your own efforts."

Nan Fang was surprised. He thought it was normal for Hu Xiaona to be selected. He was just surprised that Lu Lu's cold lips could actually say something that warmed people's hearts.

“ヾ(≧▽≦*)o That’s great!!! Yiyi, we can compete together!”

"Yeah!" The sweet girl also nodded happily.

Lu Lu’s words were actually meant for the two boys.

Their expressions changed from surprise and dissatisfaction to acceptance and recognition, but at this time, they all looked at the sweet girl who had not said much.

As if she sensed their gazes, she smiled sweetly at them.

"Would you like to fight me, too?"

The two looked at each other with a little embarrassment, although they understood the teachers' good intentions. They had nothing to say about Hu Xiaona's efforts and how she was crushed by Nan Fang.

But this one, although she has a sweet appearance, if she was admitted for no apparent reason, they would still feel a little dissatisfied in their hearts, even if they would not say it.

At this moment, facing the girl's invitation, they seemed to have their secret thoughts exposed, and they didn't know what to do. If they accepted it, it would seem that they were not so generous.

"Go ahead. There's nothing to be ashamed of. It's a good opportunity for you to get to know the strengths of others. Then you'll have a clear goal to catch up with."

Since Mr. Zhou had spoken, the two could only agree reluctantly.

Well, they admitted that they were starting to get a little excited. This girl didn't look that strong, what if they could win?

The South is indeed curious as well.

Because judging from the performance of Mr. Zhou and Lu Lu, it seems that this sweet girl has already been selected.
