Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

Chapter 3: A Ten-Year Fan of Electric Flying Squirrel

Backstage at the qualifiers in the capital city

Song Chen walked towards the exit while looking at her phone, completely unaware that someone was approaching from behind.

"What are you looking at so intently?"

Startled, Song Chen immediately turned around, but when he saw who it was, a smile appeared on his face.

"President."

"Haven't I told you many times already? Don't call me president, I've already graduated."

"Well, I'm used to it, and I can't change it overnight."

Anyone who witnessed this scene would be absolutely shocked, because the person who called out to Song Chen was Zhong Mingyi, a favorite to win the competition. The reason the two knew each other was naturally because they came from the same school – Shanghai University.

The matches between Shanghai University students are among the best not only in the country, but also in the world.

As one of the top trainers among the younger generation, Zhong Mingyi naturally took on the dual roles of president of the battle club and captain of the Shanghai school team before graduation.

"A streamer I was watching was just commentating on my match, so I went to check it out."

Song Chen handed over his phone, and Lin Xuan started her second match. But just as Zhong Mingyi took the phone and put it in front of him, a loud noise suddenly came from the phone.

"You hooded hoodlum with that face took Clefairy's Moon Power, what were you thinking! Why aren't you switching Pokémon?!"

Then came a loud banging on the table.

As for Zhong Mingyi, he had the expression of an old man on the subway.

"Ahem, you get used to it, but it's quite entertaining to watch. And after watching for so long, I've also realized that this streamer has a lot of insights into combat, it's not just the kind of thing that's just for show... although there are always unexpected things happening."

"is it?"

At this point, Zhong Mingyi became slightly more interested. After all, the tournament was about to begin, and many people wanted to ride the wave of popularity, but few could truly understand the matches.

Zhong Mingyi trusted his junior's words to some extent, but didn't pay much attention to them, only thinking that he could go and see him when he had time later.

"Let's go, you have your second match in a few days, right? I'll go with you to practice."

"Huh? But I..."

"Stop with the 'buts'! The battle just now wasn't fun at all. Come and play with me."

Song Chen understood that he would most likely become the punching bag again.

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.

After using his "jinx" ability, Lin Xuan commentated on several more matches, but their skill level was lower than at the beginning, and they even made some moves that he considered foolish.

The most typical example is a guy who, even after seeing that the opponent had sent out Piccolo, still didn't take back his bandana and even tried to go up and fight head-on against the power of the moon. The final result was predictable.

Four times the strength! At the same time, the bandana thug's skills were hardly effective against Piccolo, and even allowed the opponent to use meditation to strengthen itself and directly wipe out the team, which made Lin Xuan's blood pressure soar.

Especially when you see that the second Pokémon this guy sends out is Gearmon.

"Damn it, couldn't you have changed earlier! If you had Gear Monster, you could have brought it up earlier. If Clefairy hadn't stayed on the field, she would have just spun around and been eliminated in a couple of hits."

As it turns out, training level and command level are two different things. This player's Pokémon strength is definitely not weak, but his command level is as bad as Grimer.

This is actually a common problem for many trainers. They may have trained their Pokémon very well in school and learned a lot of theoretical knowledge about battles, but they haven't learned how to use them, which easily leads to such accidents.

"Ahem, the commentary just now was only my personal opinion. I have great respect for each player. I'm not a trainer. If you don't believe me, let Xiaodian go up and fight them. He'll be instantly killed."

Lin Xuan thought about what she had just said, and decided to put on some armor to prevent herself from being overwhelmed.

[Stack armor first]

I don't think there's anything wrong with what they said; many of this player's actions are indeed confusing.

Indeed, but we still need to be careful.

[Little Dot: What kind of owner did I end up with?]

When Lin Xuan's words reached Xiao Dian's ears, she flew up and flew to Lin Xuan's microphone without saying a word.

"when!"

[Please do not attribute the trainer's behavior to the Pokémon!]

Although few viewers understood what Xiaodian was saying, they still flooded the screen with comments like "Xiaodian is right".

"Get out of the way!"

Lin Xuan wanted to pull this guy away.

Male viewers, please do not disturb the streamer.

The live stream was quite exciting, and the host spoke very well, but there was one person who kept talking.

"Thank you so much, Captain, a fan of Electric Flying Squirrel for ten years. I hope to see you here again next month."

Lin Xuan was initially quite happy about having an extra captain, until she saw the next message from that person.

"Thanks to SC, a 10-year loyal fan of Electric Flying Squirrel—[Why isn't the streamer saying anything? Why is someone next to me making noise?]"

Lin Xuan stopped talking and simply picked up Xiao Dian.

"You'll take care of me from now on."

Small dot: ? ? ?

However, it was just a matter of scrolling through the comments; within seconds, the topic of the comments returned to the match.

after an hour……

"Alright, that's all for today's commentary. See you again tomorrow night at 7 PM sharp!"

Seeing that the time was almost up, Lin Xuan cleanly and decisively ended the live stream.

Lin Xuan managed to ride the wave of popularity today, with the viewership in her live stream doubling compared to the previous few days, resulting in a substantial income for the night. However, she could consider buying some better Pokémon food for Xiao Dian.

"Sigh~ Why didn't they give me a system? The kind where I can summon divine beasts in a heartbeat."

After finishing the broadcast, Lin Xuan stretched and sighed, "Since I've already transmigrated, shouldn't I at least have the standard transmigrator system? Why am I getting nothing?"

At least the protagonist in Arceus who time-travels gets a cell phone, but I only picked up an electric mouse that can only eat and can't do anything else, and got nothing else.

“Dan~” (lll￢ω￢)

Click~

The electric flying squirrel glanced at Lin Xuan, then took a big bite of the tree fruit in its hand. Although it didn't know what its new owner was thinking, it had a feeling that it wasn't anything good.

Don't eat in my bed!

Lin Xuan, who had turned around, naturally saw this scene and gritted her teeth in anger. She then launched a sudden "pounce," but Xiao Dian nimbly dodged it and continued to happily gnaw on the tree fruit in mid-air.

Unable to do anything about this guy, Lin Xuan could only return to his computer, edit tonight's live stream, and select the most exciting parts to upload directly.

After that... of course, it's time to sleep in. But it's not possible for every day to be a weekend; we have to go to class tomorrow.

Chapter 4 I'll lend you a hand

Monday marked the end of the two-day weekend, and Lin Xuan naturally returned to campus once again.

Lin Xuan's university is called Huaxia Elf University. As you can tell from the name, this school is not simple, and it is indeed so. However, the school mainly focuses on scientific research in its student training. It does have a combat department, but it is relatively weaker.

Lin Xuan's major, Elf Evolution, is of course an academic major. And don't think that just because you've transmigrated, you can have fun. You can't escape subjects like advanced mathematics and physics.

"Ha~"

Lin Xuan yawned as he walked on campus, and the electric flying squirrel put its two little hands on his shoulders and made the same expression.

Not only Lin Xuan, but many students around her also had their own Pokémon with them, but they were all small in size, such as Pidgey, Growlithe, and Sandshrew. Large Pokémon were not allowed to be released.

If you dare to let a creature like Snorlax out, the security guards will kick you out in a heartbeat. Otherwise, no one will be able to pass through here in no time. Who can get past a Snorlax sitting there?

"You two have such perfectly synchronized expressions! Is this your electric flying mouse?"

Lin Xuan felt a tap on his shoulder. It was his roommate, Li Yuan, who had also chosen the Elf Evolutionary class.

Compared to Lin Xuan's thin arms and legs, Li Yuan looked much more robust. Judging from his own boasting, he seemed to have been working out and had some muscle to his name.

Lin Xuan has been able to tame the electric flying squirrel for half a month, but he has been staying at home because his injuries have not fully recovered. Today is the first time he has taken him out.

"Hmm. But you're here so early today?"

Lin Xuan looked at Li Yuan with some surprise. This guy usually arrives at class right on time, and there's still half an hour before class starts.

"This is our first major class. I heard that the teacher who teaches us is really awesome. He even has his own research institute. Teaching is just a side job for him. And he only teaches two classes. So, we have to find a front row seat to make a good impression, right?"

Li Yuan raised his eyebrows at Lin Xuan.

This morning's class was about elf evolution, which is also Lin Xuan's major. It was also the first class, so of course we had to take it seriously.

As Lin Xuan entered the teaching building, she put away her electric flying mouse, as it was not allowed to release Pokémon outside.

When Lin Xuan and Li Yuan reached the classroom door, they both froze for a moment and took a step back in perfect unison to look at the classroom number above their heads.

You didn't go to the wrong place!

"Didn't you say there were only two classes? How come there are so many people?"

The classroom was packed with people, with almost no empty seats. Keep in mind that this is a large classroom, which could normally seat students from four or five classes.
