Who could have predicted it? Cute Charm was supposed to be Lopunny's specialty, yet in Ralts's hands, it had produced a far more exaggerated and devastating effect.
The only thing that puzzled Teacher Liu was the targeting. There were dozens of other Pokémon belonging to students surrounding the field besides Houndour and Lopunny. How did Ralts accurately Trace the Lopunny out of such a massive crowd?
Normally, Trace is a random activation on a nearby target, right?
Did Goddess Xue Tong's analysis hit the mark? Has this Ralts already mastered the manual control of her Ability?
If that was the case, Lorze's talent was borderline terrifying.
"It was actually Cute Charm?" Even Cheng Ming's pupils shrank. How is that possible? How did she copy the teacher's Pokémon specifically?
Has Lorze already mastered Xue Tong's secret technique?
Impossible!
That's supposed to be a feat exclusive to high-level human psychics. Is Lorze a psychic too?
Or is he saying his raw talent alone rivals a psychic's supernatural power?
Don't make laugh! How can that be? Do you have any idea how broken human psychics are?
Xue Tong could Teleport and use Telekinesis herself without even needing a Pokémon! She was practically a humanoid Pokémon. What could Lorze possibly have to compare to that?
Logic told Cheng Ming that no human could stand on the sa level as Xue Tong.
But if it was "impossible," how do you explain the scene in front of you?
Houndour was clearly infatuated. He had been screaming for minutes, but the dog didn't hear a word. It was circling Ralts like a loyal servant, wagging its tail and doing whatever she wanted. If she told him to sit, he sat. If she told him to give a paw, he gave it. He'd probably jump off a cliff if she pointed at one!
Disgraceful! Totally fucking disgraceful!
Seeing that his commands were useless, Cheng Ming had to recall Houndour into its ball and forfeit with a pitch-black face.
This wasn't a fight; it was a humiliation!
When I get ho, I'm going to grind that dog's ntal fortitude until it breaks. How can a legendary hellhound turn into a thirsty simp for a 'Cute Charm' every single ti?
You think you're a Rockruff?! You're a vicious Dark-type!
Bite her, damn it!
If you like her, pounce on her and take her!
If you're too scared to even push down a little girl Pokémon, how can you claim to love her?
"One win for Lorze. Does anyone else want to try?" Teacher Liu sighed.
She had wanted to test Ralts's limits, but now it looked like she was testing the limits of Class 1. The battle hadn't even started, and Cute Charm had already disqualified half the class's Pokémon.
With Ralts's massive ntal energy buffing the effect, the Cute Charm was simply too potent. Very few male Pokémon of the sa age could resist it.
The Ralts line was truly broken, and Trace was the ultimate "cheat" Ability.
Of course, Lorze—the man who could help her control it—was just as broken. This pair was truly made for each other.
"Let try. My Magby is female." Zhao Yue gritted his teeth and stepped forward. He wouldn't believe the hype.
If Lorze was allowed to suppress the entire class like this, would they ever have a chance with the girls again?
How many tis in a man's life do you get to be in the sa class as a beauty like Xue Yi? They couldn't just hand over the "mating rights" of the class without a fight!
He wanted to see for himself just how much weight the "Tournant Champion" actually carried!
And then... that was it.
Teacher Liu shook her head. Zhao Yue's Magby was well-trained, perhaps even stronger than the previous Houndour.
But the problem was that Magby wasn't a Dark-type. Facing Ralts ant dealing with both the "illegal" Thunder Punch and a terrifying Psychic power buffed by monstrous ntal energy. It was simply too much to ask of a baby Pokémon.
The result was exactly what everyone expected. Lorze didn't even use Thunder Punch. He just had Ralts spam Psychic waves, chasing Magby across the field. Once the Magby's stamina dropped, its reaction ti lagged, and it was instantly caught in a telekinetic grip.
Once pinned by Ralts's ntal energy, a rookie-level Pokémon had zero chance of breaking free. It was a total defeat.
Lorze was simply too far ahead of his peers. Probably only a few elite geniuses or the heirs of ga-corporations—who used money to brute-force their Pokémon's growth—could actually stand on the sa level as him.
Maybe letting Lorze skip class was actually better for the other students. Living in the shadow of a monster like him every day would be a crushing ntal burden.
Fine. That's enough testing for today. Let the other kids have so normal matches; he shouldn't be smurfing in this pond anymore.
Teacher Liu declared a free-practice session and left her Lopunny to supervise. Then, under the star-struck gazes of the female students, she led Lorze toward a nearby storage warehouse.
They really were acting like star-struck fan-girls. I know Lorze is impressive, but do you have to look at him with literal hearts in your eyes?
You look like brain-dead idol worshippers.
Specifically, when Lorze shot them a wink, they almost started screaming with excitent.
Even a girl as composed as Xue Yi seed to have a faint blush on her cheeks?
Wait... what?
Since when did I raise such thirsty students?
Have so goddamn dignity, girls!
Since they couldn't control themselves, Teacher Liu had to drag the culprit away. She beca even more convinced that Lorze shouldn't be allowed in the classroom—the place would turn into a fan-et in seconds.
The thought of such a low-IQ scene was exhausting.
...
Inside the warehouse, Teacher Liu closed the door behind them, preparing to discuss the terms of his "academic bypass."
But before she could speak, the boy suddenly stepped right into her personal space. He stood face-to-face with her, staring directly into her eyes with an intensity that made her heart skip a beat.
Snapping back to reality, she quickly pushed him back, her voice sharp with annoyance: "What are you doing? Be serious!"
But Lorze's mouth was already moving: "It's nothing. I just realized that Teacher is actually quite young and beautiful~."
"Y-young? What nonsense are you spewing now?! You have the balls to flirt with your own teacher?" Teacher Liu froze for a second. Then, a sudden, inexplicable flush of red crawled up her mature face, and she felt her pulse quicken.
Wh-what is this?
He just called young? I've been called that by colleagues a thousand tis. Why am I blushing?
What the hell am I getting flustered for?
I have a daughter! How can I be teased into a blush by a teenage boy?!
Teacher Liu found it hard to believe. It couldn't be that I'm actually attracted to him because of his performance in the arena, right?
No way. Absolutely not. He's a genius, sure, but in the big cities like the capital or Shanghai, he'd just be one of many elite students.
I'm a grown woman, not so cougar. Why would I feel like this toward my own student?
It must be a mistake.
"Am I lying? Surely people must tell Teacher how gorgeous she is every day?" Lorze continued his smooth-talking assault.
"Sotis... Cough! This isn't the ti for that! Even if you don't say these sweet things, I've already decided to grant your request based on your performance." Teacher Liu coughed into her hand, trying to regain her cool, but she found she couldn't look him in the eye anymore.
Back when she looked at Lorze in class, she never felt this nervous!
It's an illusion. It has to be an illusion!
"So I can skip class whenever I want?" Lorze's eyes lit up.
"You've proven your level. I have no reason to say no. But I will still test you regularly. If I find you slacking off, you know what will happen." Teacher Liu shot him a playful, resentful glare.
"Thank you, Teacher Liu! I promise I won't disappoint you. Also... you really are very beautiful~." Lorze feigned excitent and grabbed the teacher's hand, his skin making direct contact with hers.
The mont their hands touched, he could feel her entire body go rigid, as if she had received a massive shock.
Even when he stealthily shifted his grip, interlocking his fingers with hers in an intimate lace, and leaned in as if to devour her lips, she showed surprisingly little resistance. Her eyes were filled with a frantic, internal struggle, yet she didn't pull away.
It wasn't until Lorze proactively let go and stepped back that Teacher Liu finally snapped out of her "shell-shocked" state. She gasped, realizing she had almost been kissed by her own student.
But what the hell was that feeling?
Why was my heart pounding that fast? Did I actually... want that kiss???
Teacher Liu was horrified by her own thoughts, her mind a chaotic, unquiet ss...
