Pokémon: Master Pokémon has a fish-frying system.

Nagata Yu didn't mind giving the students a proper answer.

After all, having him and Natsume-sensei create the energy cubes wouldn't have been impactful enough for the students.

They are teachers, and the natural gap between teachers and students makes it difficult for students to empathize with them.

No matter how well they make the energy blocks, they will only get a compliment like "As expected of a teacher."

But Lu An was different.

We're all at that age where we're full of youthful passion and prone to jealousy and rivalry.

Having a peer who excels in Energy Cubes sometimes makes them think, "If he can do it, so can I."

This could potentially advance students' progress in the important area of ​​Pokémon breeding, namely, the creation of Power Cubes.

So even though Nagata Yuu has a rather cold personality, he still patiently said:

"The fact that he can create three times the number of energy blocks as you do with the same number of berries shows that he not only has a very deep understanding of mixers, but also knows very well the berries he chooses."

"As we all know, each tree fruit has its own basic flavor and unique energy."

"When different fruits are mixed together, if they are incompatible in terms of taste and energy, some of them will cancel each other out."

"This offsetting effect will make the energy blocks made from berries taste worse, and the utilization rate of berries will also decrease."

"On average, you need three berries to make one power block. The problem lies in the selection of berries and the use of the mixer, which leads to a waste of a lot of berry power."

"Lu An's ability to create nine energy cubes of different colors from nine tree fruits demonstrates that he has made the most of the tree fruits."

"He skillfully harmonized the chemical reactions that might occur between each type of fruit within the machine, so that on average, one fruit could produce one energy block."

If one could say that being able to make three different colored and flavored energy cubes at once could be explained by prior experience.

Looking at the nine energy cubes on Lu An's tray, Nagata Yu's eyes revealed a rare hint of appreciation, even amazement.

Lu An's skill is something that anyone without a talent for making energy cubes could never achieve in their entire life.

During the morning's written test, Nagata Yu realized that Lu An might be a genius in the field of cultivation studies, possessing a wealth of knowledge. That's why he took time out of his busy schedule to watch the afternoon's practical test.

His intention was to see if Lu An could deliver a performance as impressive as the written test in the actual test.

Now, Nagata Yu is certain that this kid is not just a bookworm, but also a tree fruit genius!

No, I should say that he has already mastered the art of crafting Power Cubes from berries!

"Truly, a genius..."

Natsume-sensei looked at Nagata Yu with some surprise; this was the first time he had heard Nagata Yu evaluate a student in this way.

Is Teacher You's evaluation of Lu An really that high?

Natsume quietly leaned close to Nagata Yu's ear and whispered:

"Teacher You, can you make nine energy cubes using nine tree fruits, just like Lu An did?"

Nagata Yu nodded slightly.

As a renowned professor in the Department of Nurturing at Golden University and one of the top nurturing experts in the Kanto region, Nagata Yuuki could easily achieve his goals if he set his mind to it.

only......

Nagata Yu suddenly wondered if he had the same skills as Lu An when he was his age—no, when he was ten years older than Lu An.

Nagata Yu snapped out of his reverie.

Lu An has only just finished making the energy cube.

Although in terms of color, quantity, time, and other aspects, his rating is perfect.

But no matter how beautiful your creations are, it's useless if a Pokémon is willing to eat the energy cubes you make.

So Nagata Yu turned his gaze back to Lu An, his eyes filled with anticipation.

"Lu An, your Power Cube has already won me over, but can you win over these rented Pokémon?"

Under the watchful eyes of Nagata Yu and a group of students, Lu An carried the tray to a Pidgey.

This Pidgey has very strong pectoral muscles and is much larger than the average Pidgey.

In the first round of testing, it merely pecked at a student's energy cube before flapping it away with its wings.

"Beep!"

?(｀▽′*)

When Pidgey saw Lu An approaching, it flapped its wings twice in a menacing manner.

However, Lu An was not afraid at all and pushed the yellow-green energy cube in front of Pidgey.

"Piblin, this is a sour and bitter energy cube I made. It should suit your taste. Would you like to try it?"

"Beep?"

The Pidgey, which had been looking at Lu An with a defiant look in its eyes, was surprised that Lu An was not afraid of it at all. So it tilted its head and moved closer to the yellow-green energy cube.

"Beep".

(′┓`*)

Pidgey lowered its head and sniffed twice, unable to stop drooling.

It smells pretty good, huh?

Enticed by the delicious smell, Pidgey didn't hesitate for long, using its sharp beak to peck at a small piece of energy cube and chew it twice.

"Beep~"

(っ????)

That one bite was a disaster; the Pidgey, which had initially been nonchalant, suddenly bristled.

"Beep, beep!"

(゜Д゜)?旦

This is absolutely delicious!!

What kind of chaff and bran did we eat before?!

Under everyone's gaze, Pidgey bent down and immediately began to feast.

Lu An smiled slightly and stroked the feathers of the Pidgey.

The Pidgey that had been eyeing Lu An so intently now showed no resistance to his actions and even seemed to lean towards him.

"this......"

Everyone watched as Bibibird worked diligently without Lu An even needing to tell it what to do.

Then, recalling how she had finally managed to persuade the rented Pokémon to take a small bite of the Energy Cube she made, only to have it toss aside with a look of disgust.

I suddenly felt ashamed of myself.

We're all college students, so why is there such a big difference in the energy blocks we made?

"Lu An, why does Pidgey like your Power Cubes so much?"

Keiko was very curious as to why Pidgey looked like his eating habits had been exposed.

As Lu An stroked the Pidgey's feathers, he explained:

"It's very simple. Whether it was when the students were using the mixer or when they were feeding the Pidgey, this Pidgey never looked away. Instead, it stared at them very boldly."

"When eating the energy cubes, they moved very quickly, without any fear or hesitation."

"I think it must be a bold Pokémon, and this type of Pokémon loves to eat sour-tasting Energy Cubes."

"So when making the energy cube, I added some pear fruit to give it a sour taste."

Lu An raised his head:

"Can't you see it?"

Huizi and her classmates shook their heads in silence.

So you decided to feed this Pidgey before making the Power Block?

Is it really okay for you to make it sound so easy?

We only feed the Pokémon after we've finished making the Power Cubes, to see who's willing to give us a taste.

How come it's the other way around when it comes to you?!
