A spirit descends, Gardevoir is my childhood friend?

"Okay, let's go." Lin Xiaolin had no objections, stood up, picked up her luggage, and walked towards the boys' dormitory with the man.

"Hey buddy, we're the only two special admissions students in our class, let's get to know each other, my name is Yan Fan." Yan Fan said as he walked.

"Just call me Lin Xiaolin," Lin Xiaolin replied.

"I think I've heard your name before, but where was it again?" Yan Fan suddenly pretended to think. "I remember now, you're Master Xiao's grandson!"

"And what about you? What does your family do to get a special admission spot? I don't know much about these things, and I've never heard of you before."

"Haha! My family just runs a small business, let's not talk about it." Yan Fan laughed it off.

Lin Xiaolin looked at Yan Fan with suspicion and decided to go back and do some research online to find out who this Yan Fan was.

Before long, the two arrived at the dormitory entrance with the crowd. The dormitory building was very large, and from a distance it looked much bigger than the teaching building.

"Grandpa, where is our dormitory for Class 1 of Grade 1?" a student asked the old man at the dormitory entrance.

"Boys from Class 1, go choose your dorm from Unit 3, and girls from Unit 4. You can stay wherever you want. But let me remind you, the dorms on the first floor are the best. The higher the floor, the worse the dorms are." After saying that, the old man waved his hand and told them to go in quickly.

There are a total of 6 apartment buildings in the dormitory area. After finding the middle 3rd and 4th buildings, everyone entered the dormitory and searched for their own rooms on the first floor. The old man said that the first floor was the best, so naturally everyone chose the best one.

There are 20 dorm rooms on the entire floor, and each dorm room is a double room. Lin Xiaolin estimated that there are also 20 dorm rooms upstairs, but it might not be as simple as two people sleeping in one dorm room.

After all, there are nearly 900 students in the first year of high school. Even after accounting for the male-female ratio, there are still about 450 students. This building has only five floors. If each floor has 40 students, it definitely won't be able to accommodate everyone.

Lin Xiaolin randomly picked a dormitory and went there. The door number was 3-103. Yan Fan naturally followed him in. Lin Xiaolin didn't have any objections. It didn't matter who he lived with. At least Yan Fan didn't seem like a person who didn't care about cleanliness.

Looking around the dormitory, it wasn't big, but it had a separate toilet, and was fully equipped with air conditioning, a refrigerator, and a washing machine. Two single beds were placed on either side of the dormitory against the wall, and in the middle of the dormitory was a relatively large table, with even the power strips fixed on the table.

Lin Xiaolin looked at the equipment and nodded in satisfaction. It had everything she needed, and although it wasn't as good as her home, it was still pretty good.

Thinking about it, the two started tidying up the dormitory. After making the bed, Lin Xiaolin took his laptop out of his suitcase and put it on the table. To his surprise, Yan Fan also brought a laptop. The two looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

"You play too?"

"Play!"

"Want to play a couple of rounds sometime?"

"all!"

Lin Xiaolin and Yan Fan's question and answer instantly brought them closer. After all, no guy can't get closer to his friend through a game. If so, they can play another game together.

After tidying up their belongings in the dormitory, and with plenty of time before lunch, the two of them closed the dormitory door, sat down at the computer, and started a game.

After playing until noon, I finally decided to turn off the game and go eat.

The two men put their arms around each other's shoulders, like good brothers who had known each other for many years.

"You know what, that super flash attack that hit four people was so damn cool!"

"You're not bad either. Your Banjiras killed three people with a single earthquake, leaving the other side completely stunned!"

"Hahaha! Let's rank up together. As long as our teammates aren't too stupid, I feel like we can dominate this rank!"

"That's right, the two of us will wipe them out in no time."

The two exchanged compliments as they walked toward the cafeteria and ate lunch.

After taking a nice afternoon nap, the two of them went to the playground in their military training uniforms after waking up.

They saw a flag with "Class 1" stuck in the ground and walked over. It wasn't time for the class to start yet, and the entire Class 1 was standing casually under the flag on the playground, chatting in small groups.

Suddenly, a group of Pidgeots descended from the sky and landed on the edge of the playground. One by one, soldiers in military uniforms stepped down from behind the Pidgeots, without recalling them, and went directly to the class under their command.

Pidgeots followed behind the soldiers, their sharp eyes scrutinizing each student. Many students were so intimidated by the Pidgeots' gazes that they took a step back.

"All assemble! Attention!" A drill instructor with a square face stood under the flag of Class One and shouted. Everyone immediately stood up straight.

"From shortest to tallest! Boys and girls, stand in two rows!" The instructor's voice was loud and powerful, and at his command all the students began to line up on their own.

In just a few minutes, the entire class had formed a neat square formation, with girls in the first two rows and boys in the last two rows. Lin Xiaolin and Yan Fan were both relatively tall, so they stood in the last row.

Chapter 12 begins military training.

"Let me introduce myself first. My surname is Lei, you can just call me Instructor Lei. I will be in charge of your physical training for the next two weeks." Instructor Lei stood in front of the formation, his hands behind his back. The eagle behind him stared intently at the crowd, and many students secretly swallowed.

"You might say, 'I'm going to be a trainer in the future, why should I train myself?' Well, let me tell you, without a good physique and reaction speed, you'll just be a burden to your Pokémon in battle! And whether you become trainers or not, having a good physique is always a good thing. So, everyone, turn to the right!" Instructor Lei said, turning to the right himself.

"Run a 5,000-meter run to warm up! Keep your formation, or I'll have a Pidgeot peck your butt if anyone falls behind!" As soon as he finished speaking, Instructor Lei strode forward, and everyone followed behind him.

The school's track is one kilometer long, so you have to run five laps to run five kilometers.

During the first lap, everyone was able to keep up, since it was just a slow jog, neither fast nor slow. But by the second lap, some people were already panting and starting to fall behind.

"Pipi!" Pidgeot flew low behind the group and cried out, causing those who had fallen behind to catch up again.

Two laps, three laps, and by the fourth lap, Lin Xiaolin was also covered in sweat and panting heavily.

"I...I really can't go on." Finally, on the fourth lap, a seemingly frail girl collapsed onto the ground.

"Pi!" Pidgeot landed and flew directly towards the girl, grabbing her with one claw and taking off again.

"Aaaaaah!" Hearing the girl's screams from the sky, the others felt their scalps tingle and quickly continued running.

After finally finishing the last lap, everyone lay sprawled on the ground.

"Look at how poor your physical condition is! I run 5,000 meters as a warm-up, and you all look like you're dying after that!" Instructor Lei shouted in front of the crowd.

At this moment, the girl who had been carried by Pidgeot all the way was also put down, but she was so frightened that she sat on the ground with her legs trembling.

"Ten-minute break, then we'll continue!" Instructor Lei said, then stood still and glanced at his watch.

In the evening, after a day of training, everyone gradually headed back to their dormitories. Apart from a half-hour break for meals, they had spent most of the afternoon training.

Lin Xiaolin and Yan Fan dragged their aching backs back to the dormitory and lay down on their respective beds. They had originally planned to play games again that night, but with this kind of training, what was the point of playing games?

After resting for a while, Lin Xiaolin got up, picked up her change of clothes, and took a shower. The weather in August was already hot, and she had been in the sun all afternoon.

Sweat soaked through his military training uniform, then dried it in the sun, only to be soaked again. Lin Xiaolin felt that he was covered in sweat and smelled terrible.

After taking a shower, I fell into a good night's sleep.

"Ring ring~" At six o'clock in the morning, Lin Xiaolin was awakened by the dreaded clock.

"All members! Assemble on the playground within ten minutes. Those who are late will have to run an extra five kilometers!" A deep male voice came from the loudspeaker.

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaolin immediately got up and dressed, and also called out to Yan Fan, who was still trying to take a nap.

"Hurry, hurry, we're going to be late! If we're late, we'll have to run an extra 5,000 meters!" Lin Xiaolin and Yan Fan rushed to the playground without even washing up.

Instructor Lei stood ramrod straight where they had assembled the day before, constantly glancing at his watch.

Just after Lin Xiaolin and Yan Fan ran into the crowd, Instructor Lei shouted, "Time's up!" As he spoke, he looked directly towards the dormitory, where students were still running towards the dormitory.

Lin Xiaolin counted carefully. Their class was relatively good, with only eight people late. Other classes had as many as twenty people late.

Before long, the remaining eight latecomers from Class 1 also stood in front of the crowd.

"Attention everyone, turn right. We'll run 5,000 meters. After that, we'll go eat breakfast. The eight of you will run 10,000 meters. I'll have Pidgeot monitor you from the sky. If you don't run properly, Pidgeot will make you run in the sky! But listen up, we don't have to run together today. The cafeteria closes at 8 o'clock. Don't blame me if you're too slow to eat breakfast!"

After speaking, Instructor Lei took the lead and ran forward. The eagle flew straight above the crowd, its sharp eyes seemingly watching over every student.

After running five laps, Lin Xiaolin and Yan Fan finally strolled leisurely toward the cafeteria.

"I give up, Brother Lin. I was in soreness all over when I woke up this morning, and now I've run five kilometers. I feel like my whole body is going to fall apart." Yan Fan helped Lin Xiaolin walk unsteadily.

"I'm the same way, every part of my body aches." The two helped each other to get breakfast.

A week passed in the blink of an eye, and everyone gradually adapted to the high-intensity training. Now, the most painful thing was not the training itself, but the fact that during training, the senior students would occasionally walk by carrying a watermelon or an ice pop and dangling it in front of them.

These senior students were all previous volunteers. In the past few days, they finally learned that these senior students were members of the school team and trained at the school. Volunteering to give directions was only a part-time job.

Another week later, the military training finally ended. Lin Xiaolin felt like he had turned into coal, all black and grimy.

After the event, the instructors dismissed them and told them they could go home directly. The teachers who had signed up earlier were not there.

This was also what puzzled Lin Xiaolin. Since registering, she hadn't seen any other teachers; it had always been the instructors leading them. But she couldn't care less about that now and simply picked up some necessary items and headed towards the school gate.

"Yan Fan, how are you going to get back later?" Lin Xiaolin asked Yan Fan, who was walking towards the school gate with her.

"My family has a driver to pick me up. What about you? Do you need me to give you a ride?" Yan Fan said, holding an ice pop in his hand and eating it as he spoke.

"No need, someone's coming to pick me up. See you in a couple of days." As soon as she reached the door, Lin Xiaolin spotted her father, waved to Yan Fan, and walked over.

"Dad, what brings you here today?" Lin Xiaolin asked her father with a puzzled look.

"What are you saying? I missed sending you off on your first day of high school, so I'm just here to pick you up as a token gesture."

Lin Xiaolin: "......."

Lin Xiaolin followed her father for a while until they reached a white sports car.

Lin's father took out a car key and pressed a button, and the scissor doors on both sides of the sports car opened.

"I suspect you just came here to show off your new sports car." After getting into the passenger seat, Lin Xiaolin said to her father.

"Hehe, a sports car is a man's romance. I talked to your mother for a long time before she allowed me to buy it. As soon as I got the car, I came to pick you up and show it to you." Lin's father chuckled lewdly.

Chapter 13 Going Home

"Come on, you're henpecked. After I get married, I'll definitely be the one managing the money." Lin Xiaolin curled her lip in disdain.

"Ha, young man, I was just as stubborn back then." Mr. Lin said dismissively and drove off.
