Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

The electric flying squirrel let out a long breath; it had exhausted him. Then it looked at Lin Xuan with curious eyes.

How were the test results?

However, what he didn't know was that his owner was still in a somewhat bewildered state.

Lin Xuan: ? ? ?

So high? Is the machine broken?

Lin Xuan patted the machine hard, trying to use physical therapy to restore it to normal. This was how her father fixed the TV at home when she was a child.

But after taking pictures for a long time, there was no reaction, so Lin Xuan had Xiao Dian test it again.

It's still the same number as before, with some fluctuations but roughly the same.

They then tested skills such as 100,000 volts and electric shocks, and encountered the same problem: the current intensity was much higher than Lin Xuan had predicted.

This is illogical. He originally estimated that the power of a smaller 100,000 volts would be around 40 or 50, but this guy jumped to over 100. Is that reasonable?

Then Lin Xuan came to the conclusion that the machine was definitely broken! She had been scammed!

Lin Xuan cursed the entire family of the unscrupulous merchant who sold her the machine a hundred times in her mind. It hadn't even been a month since she bought it, and it had only been used twice before it broke down. Was it possible that the machine she was sold with was a defective product?

Although he was cursing under his breath, he maintained a calm and composed demeanor on the surface, at least not letting Xiaodian see through it.

However, the timing of this machine breaking down seems quite opportune; it's perfect for using this number to fool the small shoppers.

Of course, he would return it. After the competition, Lin Xuan would immediately take this piece of junk to the boss to settle the score. However, it was still somewhat useful for now, so he would keep it for the time being.

After a brief moment of emotional buildup, Lin Xuan's face revealed an expression of utter astonishment, as if the numbers on the device had utterly shocked him...

Well, this wasn't an act; he was genuinely shocked, so shocked that he wanted to drag the owner of the electronics store out and beat him up.

"The current intensity of your skill is even close to the standard of a two-star Pokémon. The ordinary Pokémon you encounter in the school competition will definitely not be your match."

Lin Xuan, without batting an eye, casually replied, "But I still need to leave myself some leeway. After all, Xiao Dian is destined to lose in the competition. I'll have to find a way to flatter the opponent's Pokémon to make the defeat seem reasonable..."

Damn! This is really hard to write!

Chapter 15 You're that idiot?

On Wednesday, Lin Xuan attended school as usual.

"Damn, you said you weren't interested in the competition, but you still signed up, didn't you?"

Upon seeing Lin Xuan, Li Yuan immediately complained, "This guy said he wouldn't participate, but he secretly signed up without telling me. He's so disloyal!"

"How did you know?"

Lin Xuan looked at him in surprise.

"Nonsense, don't you think about how many people in our entire department can sign up for the competition? I reckon the class teacher might even give you a shout-out during the class meeting in a few days. After all, with the combined number of sign-ups from several classes in our major, it's hard to say whether we can even put together five teams."

Lin Xuan: ...

"It can't be that bad, can it?" Lin Xuan's lips twitched. Although most of the students majoring in elven evolution focused on theoretical knowledge, there were still so many people there. Weren't there many passionate young people?

"After all, you can only register for one competition. Once you register for a battle, you can't register for other events. Apart from those idiots who accidentally register the wrong name, only those who are very confident in themselves would register for a battle, eh?"

Li Yuan kept talking as he walked forward, and then he suddenly realized something.

"So you're not one of those idiots who gives the wrong name, are you?"

Lin Xuan: "...Small, go ahead! I'll give you an extra treat tonight!"

【Ouch! 】(ノ｀Д)ノ

The little one, crackling with electricity, lunged at Li Yuan, who then turned and ran.

"Holy crap! Are you trying to kill me to cover your tracks?"

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

"Pfft~"

"Um……"

In the advanced mathematics class, the two girls sitting behind Li Yuan and Lin Xuan desperately covered their mouths to keep from laughing out loud. As for Lin Xuan, although he appeared calm on the surface, the wildly twitching corners of his mouth clearly revealed that he was about to burst out laughing.

As for the reason... it seems to be because of the electric shock from the electric flying squirrel. Several tufts of hair on Li Yuan's head have become "standing tall and upright". Originally, his hairstyle was just a regular buzz cut, which was quite ordinary. Now, it has become very noticeable.

The problem is that no matter what you do, this thing will run back up on its own after a while, so after trying a few times, Li Yuan simply gave up.

"Laugh if you want to!"

Li Yuan rolled his eyes at Lin Xuan and the girls behind her, especially Lin Xuan. It was clearly his fault, yet he was still laughing.

"Actually, it's not so bad. Just consider it a new hairstyle."

Lin Xuan rubbed her cheeks to make sure she wouldn't burst out laughing, then turned and patted Li Yuan on the shoulder.

"However, I think there is one more thing to be careful about. After all, our calculus teacher's hairstyle is more like Alakazam's bald head. Be careful not to make him think you are showing off your hair volume."

Just as Lin Xuan finished speaking, an old man with two small tufts of beard and a rather ordinary hairstyle walked in. This was Lin Xuan's advanced mathematics teacher.

"Wow, this student has a pretty unique hairstyle!"

Li Yuan: I'm so damn angry... this is a real piece of work!

Li Yuan finally borrowed a roll of transparent tape and used it to stick the loose hair back on, making it less noticeable.

"So you really registered the wrong number?"

"Who knows if that thing is a separate registration process, and you can't get a refund after registering? I don't know what the person who designed this registration page was thinking~"

"So you're planning to just go up there and forfeit?"

Li Yuanke still remembered that Lin Xuan had said before that the Electric Flying Squirrel seemed to have some psychological trauma related to battles.

"Why forfeit? Of course we have to play! Otherwise, what's the point of registering?"

"Hey, but didn't you say before..."

Li Yuan was a little confused, and then Lin Xuan explained the plan that had been made yesterday to him.

"Is this... okay?"

Li Yuan remained skeptical of Lin Xuan's deceptive skills.

"With me, Brother Lin, taking action is a piece of cake, isn't it?"

"Then I'll come and cheer you on?" Li Yuan said after thinking for a moment.

"No, you're cheering for my opponent?"

"Huh?" Li Yuan had never heard of such a request in his life.

"Isn't the point to create an atmosphere where the opponent is very strong, and losing is normal?"

"Oh~" Li Yuan nodded as if he understood but not quite.

Although Lin Xuan's training wasn't aimed at winning, she still put in some effort, even consulting Dr. Sun Siming to see if there were any training secrets suitable for electric flying squirrels.

Dr. Sun Siming was not stingy at all, and generously sent Lin Xuan a copy of the e-book information, while also telling Lin Xuan not to share it.

Lin Xuan opened it and took a look. The author's name was written on the cover... Ibe Mana? Judging from the name, he seemed to be Japanese, but Lin Xuan didn't recognize him.

After school, Lin Xuan printed a copy directly from the school's automatic printer and then handed the book to Electric Flying Mouse when she got home.

He glanced through it and found that the main focus was on the training methods for each of Emolga's skills. After all, even the same skill can produce different effects depending on the Pokémon used, and therefore requires different targeted training.

Lin Xuan first identified the cheek-rubbing skill as the key skill for Xiao Dian. The main reason for choosing this skill was that it was not aggressive. Otherwise, if Xiao Dian had mastered other skills like the 100,000 Volts, and since he was not a complete novice, he would have been unable to withstand even 100,000 lives if Xiao Dian had used it on him.

"The training methods are all written out here, just follow them. I'm going to go live now~"

Lin Xuan shoved the manual into Xiao Dian's hand and ran straight back to her room.

"dawn!"

[This trainer is so irresponsible!] 凸(艹皿艹

The little one angrily lay on the ground and pounded the book in its hand with its little paws. Then it slowly got up, picked up a bag of potato chips from the side, and prepared to eat them while reading, using them as its meal.

"Click!"

Little Dot sat next to the sofa, leaning against the sofa leg, her little feet resting on the bottom of the book's pages. She held a potato chip in one hand and flipped through the book with the other. She didn't look like she was preparing for training.

"Training techniques for rubbing your cheeks"

"Sniffling is one of the most important skills for Electrifying Mouse in the early game. The paralysis effect it causes can restrict the opponent's movement, especially when the opponent attacks first."

"Dandan!"

[From now on, whenever Lin Xuan tries to steal my food, I'll give him a good whack!] (*^▽^*)

"During training, you should pay attention to actual combat application. This is something that all Pokémon must pay attention to when training skills. Try to find a training partner for your Pokémon, or a puppet or something similar."

"dawn?"

So, the only person who can be this is Lin Xuan, right?

If Lin Xuan knew that Xiao Dian was interpreting the manual like this, she would probably be so angry that she would tear the book up.
