A spirit descends, Gardevoir is my childhood friend?

"Hello, Director?" Lin Xiaolin greeted the head of the grade as soon as she saw him.

"Hello, Lin. What brings you here to rest today?" the head of the first-year high school said with a smile.

"A picnic, what else?" Before Lin Xiaolin could speak, some students from No. 2 High School and No. 3 High School chimed in.

Lin Xiaolin ignored the students.

"Teacher Tang gave us a day off today, so we're taking advantage of the fact that it's not too hot to come here and soak up some sun," Lin Xiaolin said lazily.

"Chirp?" Xinlinbao, having finished eating the cookies, emerged from behind Lin Xiaolin.

"Oh! A quasi-god!" The appearance of Xinlinbao immediately caused a burst of exclamations among the students, and even the teachers in charge of the second and third high schools were surprised.

The students all wore expressions of envy and jealousy. At that moment, one student paused, then seemed to remember something and walked out with a smile on his face.

“Hey classmate, I’m Gu Xiaodong, the captain of the No. 2 High School’s team. Can we have a match?” The captain of the No. 2 High School’s team walked up to Lin Xiaolin and extended his hand.

This person had an ordinary appearance, was about 1.7 meters tall, slightly overweight, wore glasses, had his hair slicked back, and looked rather smug. He appeared to be a bit older than Lin Xiaolin and the others.

"I'm sorry, those guys can't play against you today." The head of the second-year high school class said as he walked out.

Gu Xiaodong's lips curled up slightly. Just as he expected, when he saw the quasi-god, he thought about fighting Lin Xiaolin and defeating the quasi-god to give Yi Gao a good slap in the face.

Now even the head of the grade level has come out to stop him, so it seems he really doesn't have the confidence to beat me.

"Why? Didn't No. 1 High School say we could communicate freely?" Gu Xiaodong asked, feigning confusion.

"They are the players you will be playing against tomorrow, so they can't play against each other today. If you want to have an exchange match, I can ask Lan Rou or Wang Can to help you."

The head of the second-year high school said disdainfully, "This guy obviously thinks Lin Xiaolin and the others are young and wants to bully them so he can slap the face of No. 1 High School."

Gu Xiaodong's expression froze instantly; he hadn't expected these kids to be their opponents tomorrow. And when he heard Lan Rou and Wang Can's names, his face twitched even more.

"No need to trouble you, let's wait for tomorrow's match." Gu Xiaodong immediately turned back and returned to the team.

"Let's see what you'll have to brag about after Lan Rou and Wang Can leave next year," Gu Xiaodong muttered quietly in the crowd, making sure no one around him could hear him.

The grade director continued leading them on the tour. After they had gone some distance, Lin Xiaolin lay down again, her head resting on Xinlinbao's belly.

A perfect, natural pillow.

"That Gu Xiaodong doesn't seem like a good person," Qin Lele said, watching the backs of those people.

"He's just a clown. Watch me take care of him easily tomorrow," Yan Fan said dismissively.

-

Lin Xiaolin ran into students from No. 2 and No. 3 High Schools again during dinner. This time, she took a closer look and found a total of 14 students: 7 from No. 2 High School and 7 from No. 3 High School. Including the teachers, there were 16 people in total.

Gu Xiaodong also sized up the group. When he saw Qin Lele, his eyes lit up. He had been so focused on Xinlinbao and Lin Xiaolin that afternoon that he hadn't noticed there was another beauty there!

Gu Xiaodong immediately put down the food he had just gotten and walked to the five-person table.

"Hey beautiful, can I add you on WeChat?" Gu Xiaodong tossed his hair in a flamboyant manner.

"I'm sorry, I have a boyfriend." With that, Qin Lele grabbed Yan Fan's arm.

"Hey classmate, could you please move a little further away? I'm worried your dandruff will fly at me," Qin Lele said with a look of disgust.

Gu Xiaodong froze, standing there awkwardly.

"Pfft!" A senior sitting next to him heard this and spat out the food he had just eaten. He then coughed violently, and after coughing, he couldn't stop laughing.

Even Lin Xiaolin and the others were trying not to laugh; their faces were almost twitching from holding it in.

No, no, I'm a professional, I won't make fun of others unless I can't help it.

In the end, Lin Xiaolin and the others couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Gu Xiaodong walked back to his side with anger in his eyes, and several of his teammates began to comfort him.

"Damn it, I'll fuck him tomorrow. How dare he steal my woman." Yan Fan said directly to Lin Xiaolin and the others.

Upon hearing Yan Fan's words, Qin Lele hugged him even tighter. After a moment of stunned silence, Yan Fan finally spoke.

"Lele, can you let go of my hand? I want to eat."

Qin Lele: "......"

Chapter 75 The College League Preliminaries Begin (Bonus Chapter 1)

After dinner, the group went back to their dormitory together.

As usual, Lin Xiaolin and Yan Fan played ranked games together, Shi Yu and Shi Anyang exercised on the gym equipment in their dormitory, and Qin Lele watched a drama on her phone.

The next day, Lin Xiaolin was not woken up by an alarm clock, but by a sparse sound outside the window. When Lin Xiaolin got up and checked her phone, it was only a little past seven o'clock. Lin Xiaolin walked to the window and looked down.

He wanted to see who was making such a racket so early in the morning, so he stuck his head out of the window and saw a dense crowd of people walking around the campus, including students, parents, and elderly people.

Am I surrounded by zombies?

Lin Xiaolin was filled with questions: Why were there so many people at the school today?

Stepping out of the bedroom, they saw Yan Fan and the others already sitting on the sofa.

"Good morning, you're all up so early?" Lin Xiaolin asked the four of them.

"Sleep my ass! It's like a vegetable market outside at six in the morning, how am I supposed to sleep!" Yan Fan said, sitting on the sofa, utterly dejected.

"What are all these people doing here today?" Lin Xiaolin asked, scratching the back of his head in confusion.

"I just asked the teacher, and he said that today is the preliminary round of the college league, and everyone here is here to watch our game," Yan Fan said, shrugging.

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaolin immediately panicked. Although he was prepared to make a name for himself before the major competition, he did not expect that there would be so many people in the preliminary round of a college league!

After having breakfast, the group headed towards the battle arena. This was Lin Xiaolin's first time entering the arena; he had only seen it from afar a few times before.

After entering the battlefield, the five went directly to the players' lounge.

One of the glass walls in the players' lounge was open, offering a clear view of the huge battlefield in the center of the stands, which were already packed with spectators.

This made the five of them a little nervous, as this was the first time they had fought in front of so many people.

They sat down in the players' lounge, half an hour before the official match, while their opponents, the Second and Third High Schools, were in the lounge opposite them.

"Hey, you guys are here pretty early." A voice came from behind them. Lin Xiaolin and the others turned around and saw that Tang Tian had arrived with all the senior students.

"Teacher Tang, why are you all here?" Lin Xiaolin was a little puzzled. Usually, the school team members would spend most of their time training in the training room, except for mealtimes and sleeptime.

"What are you saying? Of course we have to come and watch our juniors' first match. Don't worry, don't be too nervous. Just relax. Your seniors will be there to support you."

Wang Can patted Lin Xiaolin on the shoulder with a grin.

Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye. The stands around the battlefield slowly filled up with people, except for twenty relatively luxurious individual seats at the very front of the stands that remained unoccupied.

At this point, the host also came out, since this was a formal competition and a host was indispensable.

The host stood on a Magneton, slowly flew up from the ground, patted the microphone to make sure it was working properly, coughed twice, and began to speak.

"Ladies and gentlemen, students, aunts and uncles, welcome to the annual preliminary round of the college league! I am your host, Wang Xin, and it is an honor to host this year's preliminary round of the college league!"

As the host's voice rang out, cheers erupted from the surrounding audience seats.

"Alright, now let's invite our guests to take their seats. First, please welcome Principal Qi Shi of Xingcheng No. 1 High School!"

As soon as the host finished speaking, a bluebird descended from the sky. Principal Qi got off the bluebird from behind, smiled and bowed to the audience around him, and then sat down in one of the twenty VIP seats.

"Principal of Xingcheng No. 2 High School, Mo Yue! Principal of Xingcheng No. 3 High School, Liu Qian!" the host called out again after Principal Qi took his seat.

Suddenly, a Steel-Armored Duck and a Warrior Eagle descended from the sky, and the principals of No. 2 Middle School and No. 3 Middle School landed and sat directly on either side of Principal Qi.

"Next, please welcome Tian Xiao, the branch manager of the Star City Trainers Association, and Zheng Li'an, the director of the Star City Security Bureau!" Immediately, two people familiar to Lin Xiaolin appeared out of nowhere and sat directly in the VIP seats.

Lin Xiaolin was incredibly envious. She really needed to get a Flying-type Pokémon in the future! It would be so cool to fly in the sky!

"Finally, please welcome our special guests: Xiao Tian, ​​the gym leader of the Star City Psychic Dojo! Shi Potian, the gym leader of the Star City Fighting Dojo! And Yan He, the chairman of the Yan Group of the Dragon Kingdom!"

The host's voice grew louder and louder as he spoke, and the names he mentioned caused another uproar in the audience.

Suddenly, with a "bang," a man with a body full of strong muscles descended from the sky and sat in the VIP seat.

A short while after the man sat down, his maternal grandfather, Xiao Tian, ​​and Lin's parents appeared in the VIP section and sat down with smiles on their faces.

Then a handsome young man with delicate features and a smile slowly walked up. He looked to be only about twenty or thirty years old and didn't look like Yan Fan's father at all; he looked more like Yan Fan's older brother.

Yan He walked up unhurriedly and sat down next to Lin's father, smiling as he looked towards the players' rest area.

At this moment, the people in the contestants' room each had their own thoughts.

Lin Xiaolin: [Holy crap, why are Mom, Dad, and Grandpa here? Why didn't they tell me beforehand?]

Shi Yu and Shi Anyang: [Why is Dad here? Where's Mom? Why didn't she come? We didn't hit Mom, and she's not here, so Dad might get angry and come down to beat us up, right?]

Yan Fan: [Holy crap, what's with the old man? It's like a ghost story. I rarely see him, and I never expected him to come see me on his own initiative.]

Qin Lele: [What show should I watch for lunch? Should I sneak a peek at Yan Fan sleeping tonight?]

It seems like something serious has been mixed in, but it's not a big problem.

"I now declare the annual college league preliminary rounds officially open! The first match will be between No. 2 High School and No. 3 High School! Please welcome the students from both sides to the field!"

After the host finished speaking, students from No. 2 and No. 3 High Schools walked out of the contestant's passage and waved to the audience.
