Integrate into the fairy world

Chapter 486 Part-time Job

At Mingzhu Academy, outsiders all assumed that Lei Ze's popularity stemmed entirely from Zhu Ziqi's backing. But who knew that Lei Ze was actually quite afraid of Old Zhu?

Back then, Zhu Ziqi valued Lei Ze's talent highly and closely followed Lei Ze's growth.

At that time, Lei Ze's growth rate did not disappoint Lao Zhu. In less than a year, Lei Ze had already met the standards to enter the school team.

Originally, Lao Zhu wanted to make an exception and promote Lei Ze to the school team during the selection process for the new school team.

Little did anyone know that at that time, Razer went to the Kanto region to challenge the league, completely missing the school team selection.

Recalling their first meeting, when Razer was also competing in the Unova League, Zhu Ziqi couldn't help but wonder, "Does this kid really enjoy participating in competitions that much?"

But why doesn't he care about national college student competitions in China?

With these questions in mind, Lao Zhu finally waited for Lei Ze and his classmates to return from their new semester's training.

Originally, I planned to take advantage of the last train to trick Lei Ze into joining the school team and have him go with the team to participate in the national competition.

As a result, on his first day visiting the school team, this kid was only interested in asking the seniors on the team for advice. When asked if he wanted to join the school team, he just dodged the question.

Finally, in order to prevent Lei Ze from affecting the training of others, Old Zhu had no choice but to temporarily send the kid far away and take his school team to participate in the national competition.

However, unexpectedly, the stage that has always served as the venue for the national competition was temporarily used by the league this year as a challenge hall to entertain foreign friends and for athletes from various countries to train and exchange ideas before the world competition.

Even though the world championships were still more than a dozen months away, the organizing committee of the high school league did not expect the notification to be so sudden.

Unfortunately, in order to find a suitable venue and build an athletes' village next to it, the organizing committee had no choice but to postpone the competition by one month!

The counselor brought Lao Zhu here to ask Lei Ze one last time if he wanted to join the school team!

"Well... although I'll be very free for a while, it's too late for me to join the school team now! After all, I don't know anything about the national competition. I can't expect to cram at the last minute and rely on this month to get along with the other team members!"

"Don't worry about that. The national competition is divided into individual and team competitions! Since you don't have time to practice with the team, you don't need to participate in the team competition. You can just participate in the individual competition this afternoon!"

It's clear that Lao Zhu is almost obsessed with not being able to bring Lei Ze into the team.

"That won't work either. You know, I could receive a notification for the third round of professional assessment at any time during this period, and the timing might be... well, who knows!"

"You don't need to worry about that. There are precedents for postponing professional assessments due to special circumstances. Once the school receives your training notice, they will help you resolve this issue."

Now Lei Ze really couldn't refuse!

To be honest, if it were the old Razer, he might have been very interested in the National Tournament.

But right now, Razor just wants to become a professional trainer as soon as possible so he can have more control over his time. At the same time, he also wants to make it into the elite training program that starts in the second half of this year.

At the time, Razor wasn't even a professional trainer while traveling in the Kanto region, so he hadn't even considered that plan.

But things are different now. With only one final hurdle left to become a professional trainer, Razor's ambitions are growing.

Rather than competing in national tournaments, Razer would prefer to use this time to obtain a professional license, and then use that license to train and quickly improve the strength of his Pokémon. That's what he wants most right now.

With the country's support, Razer believed that as long as he could participate, Pikachu and the others' strength could increase rapidly in a short period of time!

Given the choice between temporary fame and permanent power enhancement, Razer chose the latter without hesitation.

But now, Razer has no choice!

For the next month, Lei Ze was almost always by Zhu Ziqi's side, for fear that he would run away.

Although at first Lei Ze was very resistant to having someone constantly following him, he gradually realized that having a near-master-level teacher by his side and being able to ask for leave at any time was not an unbearable thing.

Since he insisted on keeping an eye on him, Razer didn't hesitate to ask him to help him train.

This is a one-on-one coaching experience that even members of the school team can't provide, so Lei Ze is determined to take advantage of this time.

A whole month passed, and Lei Ze still couldn't escape Teacher Zhu's strict surveillance and went to the new venue to participate in the competition with the school bus.

The national competition differs from smaller regional competitions in that it spans a longer period of time. Therefore, the organizing committee has arranged accommodation for each school in the athletes' village.

Upon entering, Razer immediately and quite unceremoniously sprawled out on the soft bed, rolling around in and out of bed.

Heaven knows what kind of life he'd been living lately? With a sudden burst of energy, Lei Ze walked to the window and opened the curtains. Through the window, he could see that many contestants from other places had already arrived at the athletes' village!

"I really want to get out!"

Razer cried out his longing for freedom!

But his shout only elicited a disgruntled cry from Pikachu; nothing else happened.

"Old Zhu won't let me go out. Being stuck in the room all by myself and unable to do anything is really making me feel so stifled!"

After finally managing to get Lei Ze to the athletes' village, in order to prevent the kid from changing his mind and running away halfway, his instructor Zhu Ziqi simply moved his room in the athletes' village to be next to Lei Ze's.

Any hint of a rule is impossible to miss by his eyes!

Since he couldn't leave the players' village, Razer simply took out the Poké Balls of Espeon and MetalGreymon, intending to practice his psychic abilities before the competition began.

Some time ago, Razer managed to levitate a metal spoon in mid-air for 5 minutes. However, even at that level, Razer could only conquer 8% of the power of psychic Pokémon.

To prevent any unexpected issues from arising during the subsequent practical assessment, Lei Ze must be strict with himself in the short term.

As for the national competition, Lei Ze obtained a lot of information from Lao Zhu on the way here.
