Chapter 471 Teacher Yu - Heavenly King Form!
The Padiya League.
While the students were eagerly anticipating their challenge, the Four Heavenly Kings and the Chief Champion, symbolizing the highest fighting power of Padiya, were already in place, sitting in their office for the final "pre-battle meeting."
"That's all for now. According to feedback from the gym leaders, the average quality of this year's students is excellent. I hope everyone can manage the difficulty appropriately. Even if they lose to the Elite Four members, we should try our best to help them grow."
Holding the documents, Ye Ci tapped the table one last time, his eyes fixed on Qing Yu as he spoke.
"I see."
Qingyu sat up straight and nodded solemnly to the chief champion.
"Go for it, Qingyu!"
Sitting next to him, Xin Li completely ignored the very formal occasion and casually patted Qing Yu on the shoulder.
"You know those students best. Just tell them your weaknesses openly. Our path to the championship isn't something we can only challenge once."
"However, I'll get really bored if no other students make it to the second round all day, so going easy on them a little is fine!"
'
Qingyu did not reply.
He noticed that not only Xin Li, but also Aoki and Kazuya were casting worried glances at him.
After all, he was the first hurdle on the road to the championship. If the initial difficulty was too high, then the three kings behind him would have no chance.
"No, this year's students are all excellent, and several of them are promising talents who could become champions."
"So I believe they can definitely do it."
"Furthermore, the tactics I will use on my way to the championship were shown to the students a few days ago."
"Besides, Orange Academy has student organizations like the Celestial Star Team. Their preparations will definitely be very thorough. I should be the one paying more attention."
Only after Qingyu gave a very sincere answer did Ye Ci finally let him go, and then waved his hand: "Alright, let's not keep the future of Padia waiting too long."
"Qingyu, you go ahead first."
Qingyu nodded and quickly left the office.
"He should be fine, right? —"
The Dragon King Hachisaku, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke, looking at Qingyu's departing figure with some concern.
As the only one of the Four Heavenly Kings who is permanently stationed at Orange Academy as an "art teacher," he is probably the one who knows best the students' impressions of Qingyu.
If I had to describe it, it would be a bittersweet experience.
Although each challenge against Qingyu was incredibly grueling and left me unable to sleep well for days afterward, my strength was undeniably improving rapidly.
As a result, it is estimated that many students have now developed "feather phobia".
After facing Qingyu, who has unleashed a portion of his power and reached the level of a Heavenly King, will they be able to overcome their inner demons?
Hachisaku expressed concern about this.
"Don't overthink it, this kid knows exactly how to guide students."
The wooden board beside him wore a bitter and resentful expression. After trying to smile, it sighed again.
"You may not know this, but the students he trained are all formidable opponents, much more difficult to deal with than before."
"So, let's trust them for now."
"7
Sitting on the other side, Xin Li blinked, showing interest in the conversation between the two middle-aged men, and nodded in agreement.
Not to mention the students, even the children of his own relatives, such as Bopi who wanted to become a king, suddenly improved their command skills after fighting against Qingyu once.
Therefore, Qingyu must have some influence in training students!
Upon entering the hall, Qingyu, having taken charge of the first hurdle on the road to victory, leisurely poured himself a cup of coffee.
Despite being called the Road to Victory, the design of the Padiya region is completely different from other areas. Instead of setting up the assessment points on mountaintops or waterfalls, it connects directly to Tabletop City, allowing students to directly enter the challenge.
"I wonder who the first candidate today will be. I hope it's someone with good skills so I can assess the difficulty level first."
After taking a sip of coffee, Qingyu was scalded and felt a jolt of energy, but immediately felt much more refreshed.
Hmm, this coffee gives me energy!
Just as he was performing his performance art alone, there was a sudden knock on the door of his room.
He and the Rotom phone floating behind him both looked back at the same time.
-
Because he wanted to give other students a chance, during this championship run, every one of his matches was broadcast live on the big screen outside the city, allowing students to analyze his tactics and try to come up with feasible solutions.
This can be seen as giving the members of the Tianxing team an opportunity to work together and pool their wisdom.
"Please come in!"
Qingyu instantly regained his serious expression, placed his hands behind his back, and quietly waited for the first challenger to appear.
The door creaked open, and a boy of short stature, wearing a second-year school uniform, walked in.
"Oh? It's Okamoto~"
Upon recognizing the person at a glance, Qingyu subconsciously raised an eyebrow.
It turns out to be an old acquaintance?
Aside from Nemo, who is a battle maniac, Okamoto is probably the first student to challenge the Sunny Gym since I transmigrated, and he is very resilient.
Qingyu couldn't quite remember when he passed his own test, only that it was quite a while ago.
It seems that under his own spurring, this somewhat talented young man has undergone a complete transformation and become a super rookie capable of challenging for the championship.
Qingyu was filled with emotion for a moment.
"yes!"
Upon seeing Aoba's serious expression, Okamoto immediately stood at attention, speaking with great force but with a look of resignation on his face.
"Don't be nervous, Teacher Yu isn't some kind of monster, why are you so scared?"
Aoba smiled and tried to calm him down, but it seemed to have the opposite effect. Okamoto, who was already nervous, immediately started trembling like a leaf.
As one of the earliest veterans in the Tianxing team's strategy group to challenge Teacher Yu, he knew all too well!
Even more terrifying than the serious Teacher Yu is the current "smiling tiger" Teacher Yu, who has countless wicked schemes up her sleeve to use against herself!
"Before the match begins, let's do a simple interview question; it might ease your tension."
Seeing that Okamoto looked certain that he was in for a bad time, Aoba could only shake his head helplessly and then take out a stack of papers.
Interview tests are a unique feature of Padiya, and their main purpose is to assess students' overall qualities through dialogue.
Normally, this task should be handled by Xin Li, who is very popular among students, especially girls, and wouldn't make the students sweat like I did when I appeared.
However, since he is the number one superstar this year, this job was also handed over to him.
"Name?"
"Okamoto!"
"Very good, very energetic, Okamoto-kun."
"You are the first candidate on the road to the championship, so your number is 001."
"So, next are a few more important questions."
"yes!"
"The number of gym badges you have—good, you do have eight."
"Next question: What do you plan to do after becoming the champion?"
"So it's to repay Padia? I think President Yuji will be very happy that you have this awareness, but I still want to remind you, never say things like this in front of her in the future~"
Qingyu blinked, seemingly making a joking remark to him, and then continued to ask.
"Of the eight dojo trials, which one did you find the most challenging?"
Upon hearing this, Okamoto, who was opposite him, suddenly fell silent and looked at him with an almost eerie gaze and an extremely complex expression.
The silence speaks.
"Okay, I understand. It seems the lessons I taught you back then were really meaningful, weren't they? They left a deep impression on you, didn't they?"
Okamoto: ?
After several rounds of conversation, Okamoto is indeed less nervous now.
However, after Qingyu used his ultimate skill at point-blank range, he now only felt a slight heat in his fists.
My hands are itching to fight!
But knowing the vast disparity in strength between the two sides, Okamoto could only sigh in frustration.
If I could beat him, I'd love to have a no-holds-barred brawl with Teacher Yu!
Qingyu didn't notice the subtle changes in his facial expression. After diligently recording the conversation in the document, she smiled and continued speaking.
"Next is the last question, and it's very important, so please answer it carefully!"
"yes!"
"So—Okamoto-kun, do you like Pokémon?"
Qingyu suddenly became serious and solemn, and Fengben subconsciously straightened his body as well.
Of course, the answer to this question is something that every trainer embarking on their journey will answer without hesitation.
"Yes! I love Pokémon the most!"
"Very good, you passed the interview. Congratulations, Okamoto."
After putting the file back on the desktop, Qingyu smiled and clapped her hands.
"You are an excellent student. If you can become the champion, you will definitely become a key player in Padiya."
"So let's set aside the formalities for now and move on to the next step."
Qingyu stepped forward and repeated the rules of this championship road to him.
"The second test involves consecutive Pokémon battles against the Elite Four. During the challenge, you cannot leave the League area, but you can use items such as Energy Cubes to temporarily replenish your health."
"After defeating four Heavenly Kings in a row, you will enter the final test stage. At that time, your opponent will be President Ye Ci. As long as you defeat her, you will become the new champion."
"Is there a problem?"
"No!"
"Great, let's get started right away."
Qingyu nodded in acknowledgment, then stood in the center of the field with a satisfied smile.
"I'm the one leading the Four Elite Four, and I'm Qingyu, the Sunshine Gym Leader who's temporarily taking on the role of Elite Four member."
"It's been several months since I've witnessed your strength. I hope I can feel your significant improvement and recognize you as an excellent trainer."
"Shine brightly, newcomer!"
After Qingyu finished speaking, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he took out a Poké Ball from his pocket.
"If I remember correctly, your main Pokémon when challenging the gyms were Scyther and Mimikyu, right?"
"I don't know if Scyther has evolved yet, so my first Pokémon is..."
"I choose you, Salamence!"
"Crack—!"
After Qingyu pulled the trigger, a red light flashed, and a streamlined dragon with wings like a blood moon made a dazzling appearance.
"Salamander————"
Okamoto narrowed his eyes and immediately realized that Teacher Yu was going easy on him.
A Flying/Dragon-type Salamence can be directly confronted by its own Mimikyu, which can even disable one of its STAB moves.
Even if there is a clear difference in strength between the two sides, judging from Teacher Yu's performance, he should hold back some of his strength.
I knew Teacher Yu wouldn't use her full strength when hitting the baby!
Okamoto breathed a sigh of relief, his expression becoming more confident, and he followed Qingyu as he took out a Poké Ball from his pocket.
"It's all up to you now, Mimikyu!"
Mimikyu, its body wrapped in a cheap Pikachu cover with only a black claw and a hint of gloom visible, appeared on the field, staring blankly at the Salamence above.
"Crack!!!"
The king of the skies, Salamence, immediately displayed its overwhelming power, letting out a roar in an attempt to suppress Mimikyu with its aura.
However, Mimikyu showed no reaction, remaining rooted to the spot and silently watching it.
Instead, Aoba and Okamoto immediately covered their ears, glancing helplessly at Salamence.
Especially Qingyu.
I always feel like my Salamence is a bit like a husky, why is it so mischievous?
This is indoors! Shouting so loudly, the echo alone makes my head buzz. I thought it was my opponent using a loud voice.
However, now is not the time to dwell on these things.
Qingyu narrowed his eyes, silently watching the Mimikyu on the other side, and casually and decisively said, "Salamander, fly up and use Dragon Dance!"
"Click!"
Salamence obeyed the command without hesitation and immediately flew into the air.
Although its flight altitude is limited by its indoor location, it is sufficient to temporarily evade the Mimikyu's attacks.
This is the first subjective question that Qingyu presented to the students: When faced with a Pokémon that can fly, what method should be used to solve the problem?
The answer to this question is very open-ended and not difficult to come up with; it would be a breeze for students who can earn eight badges.
"Mimimitaki, let's use Swords Dance to boost our power too!"
Okamoto made a quick decision and immediately commanded his Pokémon to also strengthen themselves on the spot.
Anyway, Mimikyu's special ability is Disguise, which allows it to use its outer skin to block an attack, so it has a pretty high margin for error.
Since there's no way to interrupt Salamence's buff from the air, I might as well buff myself and go fight a positional battle with Teacher Yu.
If you want to take advantage of Salamence's strengths, Teacher Yu will definitely take the initiative to attack and close the distance between you and Salamence.
And when that time comes, it will be the best opportunity for him and Mimikyu to launch a counterattack!
Okamoto held this idea firmly in his heart, and all of this was naturally within Aoba's expectations.
"A good choice, but we still need to consider one thing."
"Salamander is not without ranged attack capabilities, so breaking through its disguise is very easy."
After Qingyu gave a hint, she immediately added a command.
"Salamander, use Flamethrower!"
"Click!"
Under Qingyu's command, the Salamence suddenly took a deep breath, and then immediately emitted a blazing flame from its mouth, transforming into a pillar of fire that attacked Mimikyu.
