Chapter 207 Recruitment Event_1

Fang Yuan chatted briefly with Lin Sen before Lin Sen made the excuse of going to eat to slip away, still feeling a bit weird about being around Fang Yuan.

Seeing Lin Sen's hasty retreat, Fang Yuan shrugged his shoulders, then found a quiet place to start training Eevee and the Trio Magnet Monsters.

...

Noon, three o'clock.

Fang Yuan arrived at the classroom on time and found a corner in the back to sit down.

What followed was the instructor discussing some matters to take note of and then distributing campus cards to everyone.

Soon afterward came the class officer elections, with self-nomination as the method.

During this time, the instructor glanced in the direction of the corner where Fang Yuan was seated as if he wanted Fang Yuan to take the initiative to become the class president. But such a bothersome position was naturally something Fang Yuan would avoid if possible. Although there were some benefits to being the class president, those benefits were not significant to Fang Yuan. He preferred a more relaxed and free lifestyle.

In the end, the position of class president went to a girl named Liang Shi Ran, and the other positions were quickly snatched up as well.

...

Half an hour later, Fang Yuan, carrying his books, returned to the dormitory.

Then, he went out to train again. Three students from the same floor came over to visit him twice and didn't find Fang Yuan there, which led them to remark that this guy must be a winner in life with a girlfriend.

Unless he had a girlfriend, why would he always be running outside? It couldn't be that he had started training Pokemon so soon after the school year began.

Fang Yuan indeed went out to train Pokemon.

The moment he got his campus card, Fang Yuan headed straight for the training facilities.

Magic City University's training facilities were numerous, and Fang Yuan planned to experience them all in the next couple of days.

Only after familiarizing himself with the training facilities could he better organize his university life; Fang Yuan was determined to capture enough Pokemon to pass the Professional Trainer assessment before graduation.

During the trial process, Fang Yuan's experience was interrupted once by a call from the instructor.

"Student Fang Yuan, Director Mu mentioned that you plan to participate in this year's Battle Society recruitment, is that correct?"

Fang Yuan said, "Yes… Teacher Zhao."

The purpose of the instructor's call was straightforward: to assure Fang Yuan that he could prepare in peace and to offer help if he needed anything.

Every year's Battle Society recruitment and the team selection are akin to a school sports day, garnering much attention.

The Research Series' instructor would naturally provide conveniences if there were talented individuals in their department, and the instructor of class 1 was aware of Fang Yuan's notable background, making extra care seem only right.

...

The club recruitment event started on Tuesday, September 5, and continued until Friday.

Fang Yuan's schedule suggested that it was best to go on the first day, Tuesday.

If he went on Tuesday, he had no classes all day, allowing him to secure his reward early and save on worries, thus preventing any potential problems.

Being the first to choose a Pokemon definitely had its advantages.

And on Monday, the Research Series class 1 only had classes during the third and fourth periods in the morning, which were Elf Energy Studies, a class Fang Yuan had always been interested in attending.

The energy within Pokemon is so mysterious and variable, and even after such long study, humans have yet to fully understand it.

The study of a single type of energy transformation is a subject that can never be fully researched.

Not to mention the combination problem of different energies.

However, what made Fang Yuan uncomfortable on Monday was that this white-haired professor did not teach anything about the specialized course!

Aside from taking the freshmen from the Research Series to the training field to demonstrate a Combination Skill, he spent the whole time boasting.

Talking about his own achievements, the students he had taught, the greatness of Elf Energy Studies...

However, it's undeniable that this professor really had some skills; his Magcargo and Feraligatr's Vow of Fire and Vow of Water combined into a beautiful rainbow field.

Surrounded by this rainbow field, the professor chatted from in-class to off-topic, and not a single student showed impatience, listening with keen interest.

Although they didn't gain much practical knowledge, they developed a deep interest in energy studies.

"The Rainbow State is a combination move initiated by two Pokemon. Ultimately, the two moves fuse into one, the field becomes a rainbow, and with the power of the rainbow, it becomes easier for additional effects of moves to appear..." Fang Yuan knew that this professor had much more to say, but for the freshmen, witnessing such a rainbow field technique was already an eye-opening experience.

After class, the class monitor, Liang Shi Ran, pulled everyone into a group without the instructor, and that's when everyone started to chat freely.

Liang Shi Ran: "Eh, how come I added 40 people? The total number... is now 41."

Zhang Fan: "You didn't accidentally add the instructor, did you?"

Liang Shi Ran: "No... Who is this 'Cute Cloth'? They added me from the notice group and have been silent ever since."

Fang Yuan chuckled as he watched the group's discussion; Eevee only knew a few words to type, which were hardly enough for a proper chat.

Once it finished learning, it would be able to interact with you all freely.

The group discussed for a while but couldn't figure it out... Meanwhile, Eevee was catching up on dramas; the result was that Eevee, who hadn't had its name changed, was indeed kicked out of the group.

In the notice group, however, it wasn't kicked, probably because the instructor hadn't noticed the number of people in the group.

...

Liang Shi Ran: "We don't have classes tomorrow, and I saw on the campus forum that there will be club recruitment events starting Tuesday, especially the Battle Society's recruitment, which is said to be very lively. Does anyone in the group plan to participate?"

"We could organize it and go together to cheer on the classmates who take part in the assessments."

As the class monitor spoke up, everyone in the group expressed their willingness to go. The freshmen who had followed the campus forum were no strangers to the Battle Society's recruitment and had been looking forward to it for a long time.

Even if they didn't participate in the assessment, it was good to go and enjoy the excitement.

At that time, the rules for the Battle Society's recruitment assessment were no secret and were quite straightforward. As an event organized by the student club, there were no fancy rules; everything was kept simple.

Anyone who wanted to join the club simply had to stand up on the platform in the field and fight one or several battles.

The club's evaluators would watch the battle, and if they thought you were strong enough to join the club, you would pass the assessment. They didn't look at wins or losses, only performance.

Beyond that, if you wanted to gain extra Pokemon rewards after joining the club, you could also apply to challenge the sophomores in the club.

This was a four-day event, and the whole school was paying attention. If anyone performed exceptionally well during this period, their name would certainly be spread throughout the school in no time...

"Getting credit points for joining the Battle Society isn't bad; club activities are an important source of credits," Fang Yuan browsed the campus forum's news, looking forward to tomorrow.

Since they're not looking at wins and losses, he decided to let the Trio Magnet Monsters gain some battling experience first.
