Pokémon: Master Pokémon has a fish-frying system.

In fact, Lu An's guess was quite correct.

This cat is indeed a very unique one in the cat population.

It is very cautious when it eats, and often chooses a quiet corner to eat.

Moreover, its eating habits are different from other cats. It is very restrained. Once it has eaten enough, it will not eat a single bite of any delicacy placed in front of it.

If the energy cubes made by the boys were to be of better quality and taste better, even if they weren't perfect in color, aroma, and flavor, they wouldn't have been easily overturned by Meow Meow.

Looking at the boy crying, Natsume shook his head helplessly and silently gave him a low score in his notebook.

The practical exam tests not only the creation of energy cubes, but also the observation and judgment of different Pokémon's personalities, statuses, and dietary preferences.

This boy's Energy Cube making skills were clearly lacking, and his observation of Pokémon was almost nonexistent. It's no surprise that his score won't be very good.

With such a "beacon of excellence" ahead of them, the other students carrying energy cubes were even more hesitant to step forward.

Seeing this, Nagata Yu, who had remained silent until now, frowned deeply.

"What are you all huddled up there for? Hurry up and come up for the test! Are you planning to feed the more difficult Pokémon that others have left over?"

Lu An nodded by the wall.

Although Professor Nagata Yu's tone was a bit harsh, his words, though rough, were reasonable.

It's worth noting that Natsume-sensei only released about thirty Pokémon for rent, while ten students participated in the first round of testing.

Each person has to choose three Pokémon to feed the energy cubes. If they don't repeat any, there will be just enough Pokémon to feed them.

But given past examples, it's clear that no one would choose that cat.

After removing some Pokémon that look difficult to care for, it is almost inevitable that ten students will pick out duplicate Pokémon to feed.

What if a Pokémon has eaten its fill in the first round and is no longer interested in the second person's Energy Cube?

In that case, the second person's score will almost certainly be lower than the first person's.

Therefore, the best approach is to take advantage of the fact that others are still hesitant and choose a Pokémon first.

Those who could get close to Golden University were not stupid. Nagata Yu's words immediately woke them up, and almost everyone began to choose their first target to feed.

Without a doubt, no one chose the cat from before.

However, it seems that rather than them disliking Meow Meow, it's more accurate to say that Meow Meow dislikes their energy cubes.

"Meow~"

......

Although Mr. Yu's words enlightened them, some Pokémon bought the Energy Cubes and began to savor them.

But Nagata Yu shook his head.

Clearly, he is not very satisfied with the students' current performance.

"Young people these days are always looking for pleasure and convenience. It's one thing for them to eat fast food, but as Pokémon trainers, they can't even cook Pokémon food."

Natsume smiled and comforted her from the side:

"Teacher You, they are still students after all, still in the learning stage. Making energy cubes is a skill that cannot be mastered overnight. Their current performance is already quite good."

Nagata Yu said hatefully:

"So what if they're students? They're all adults. If they can't even raise their own Pokémon properly, how can they be qualified to be trainers, and what makes them qualified to be breeders in the future?"

Although Natsume did not quite agree with Professor Yu's point of view, he had to admit that the performance of these ten students was indeed not satisfactory.

Let's see if the other students are doing any better.

After recording the scores of the ten students, Natsume called out the names of the second group of students:

"Cai Xukun, Chen Linong, Fan Chengcheng... Lu An... the above ten students are preparing for the exam."

Upon hearing his name called, Lu An waved to Huizi:

"I'll go first."

(The previous chapter has been slightly revised; Huizi hasn't taken her exam yet.)

Upon seeing Lu An step forward, Nagata Yu, who had initially looked disappointed, revealed a hint of curiosity.

Will this young man, who surprised him in the written test, be able to surprise him just as much in the practical exam?

After stepping out of the line, Lu An neither went to the area near the berry mixer nor chose berries like most of his classmates. Instead, he went to the area where there were about thirty rented Pokémon.

"Humph~"

Lu An stroked his chin, his eyes scanning back and forth among the dozens of Pokémon.

"What is Lu An doing?"

Huizi was a little curious.

Was he observing the status of the rented Pokémon?

Lu An's actions immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Lu An had barely attended any classes and wasn't familiar with his classmates. Yet, he possessed an exceptionally handsome face, and the female classmates in his class would stare at his face as if they wanted to devour him.

The male classmates naturally didn't have a good impression of Lu An.

Students who didn't do well in the first round of exams pursed their lips:

"Stop pretending. Do you really think we're at the same level as the teachers, able to tell a Pokémon's dietary preferences at a glance?"

"Exactly, just use the mixer to make an energy cube, then feed it to three gentle Pokémon, why pretend to observe?"

"He probably doesn't have the skill to make energy cubes, so he's just trying to get some extra points from the teacher by doing something unique."

Nagata Yu and Natsume vaguely heard the voices among the students, but they remained silent, quietly observing Lu An's every move.

"Yes, it's decided."

Lu An didn't linger long in the Pokémon rental area. He quickly selected some berries and then went to the mixer.

Lu An remained calm and collected, throwing all sorts of fruit into the mixer. He then started the machine with a loud rumble, humming an unknown tune.

"Hahaha, what's wrong with this guy? Why did he throw in all the berries he needed to make three energy cubes at once?"

"Everyone knows that the energy cubes made will be different depending on the type of berry used. Is he trying to control three Pokémon with just one type of energy cube by throwing all the raw materials in at once?"

"Even a layman wouldn't do that!"

Lu An's amateurish behavior immediately confirmed the whispers of the two or three male classmates.

The group exchanged glances and winks, looking like they were saying, "See? I told you he was faking it."

Even Huizi, who had initially trusted Lu An and believed he must have his reasons for doing so, couldn't help but have some doubts.

Could Lu An really be doing something reckless?

After all, he had said things like "I can just make the energy blocks casually" before the exam.

Unlike Keiko, who looked worried, and her classmates, who had various expressions, Natsume and Nagata Yu also noticed that Rikuan's actions were completely different from those of the other classmates.

But they didn't make a sound. Instead, they frowned slightly and waited quietly for the roar of the fruit and tree mixer to stop.
