This elf world is a bit strange

Chapter 17: Campus Life After a Long Away (Please Read)

"Teacher, the last time I saw you dressed so formally was at the end of last semester."

At the entrance of Milia's house, Firio complained seriously.

"Do I usually dress inappropriately? I think it looks pretty good!"

Milia put on her high heels and looked away, not looking into Firio's eyes.

"Machi~"

Above her head, the little dream demon was too tired to complain.

"After all, we are going to find Apei's tree fruit. We can't dress like we do at home. Let's go, let's go. I'll drive you there!"

"bang"

Before she could finish her words, Millia, who was running forward, bumped into the door of her own house and screamed in pain.

She forgot that her door opened inwards and subconsciously tried to push it, resulting in a close contact with it. The little dream demon also slid down, and before it could react, it was caught by the flying ribbon of the wind ball.

......

......

"Anyway, you didn't see anything, you know?"

Sitting in the car, Milia pretended to be calm, but the pink on her face betrayed her completely.

"A good teacher will not let a third person know."

However, in front of outsiders, Firio still gave his teacher face and agreed decisively.

Of course, privately it’s another matter.

-----------------

"Little Firio, and Teacher Milia! Why are you here? Are you here to buy berries?"

At the counter of the breeding house, Chigako was also watching a romantic comedy, which seemed to be the same one that Milia watched that day. When she saw them coming, she quickly stood up to greet them.

"Aunt Chigako, we are here to see you and Apei. He gave me two berries last time and asked me to help test their effects. Teacher Milia and I have done several experiments together and made three boxes of energy cubes in total. The results are very good, so I would like to discuss with you to see if this improved version of the Buddha's orange fruit can be mass-produced."

Firio looked at what was on TV, then glanced at Milia imperceptibly, shook his head imperceptibly, and then politely explained the situation to Chigako.

"Apei's bergamot fruit?" Qianhezi seemed to know nothing about it and was a little confused. "I'm not sure either. I'll ask him. Apei! Teachers Filio and Milia are here. Come out quickly!"

At her call, Apei, who was playing with the meerkats Zhan and Liuwei and fiddling with the fruits in the backyard, hurried out.

"Teacher Firio, Teacher Milia! Is it because my fruit is effective?"

As soon as he came out, he couldn't wait to ask, his eyes shining with anticipation.

"Goooo!"

The one in his arms was the little Vulpix who had just finished his rapid growth period and was still childish.

However, the little guy was not afraid of people at all. Instead, he greeted them openly. The little dream demon was so happy that he flew over and started to be intimate with it.

"You guessed it right. It's your Buddha's orange fruit." Firio touched Vulpix in a friendly way and nodded. He took out the energy cubes he made and handed one to Chikako and Apei respectively. "Try it. The effect is surprisingly good."

While eating, Filio carefully analyzed the characteristics and prospects of this fruit.

These two improved tangerine fruits of Apei are a level higher than the best tangerine fruits that Philio has ever seen in terms of making energy cubes. Although some taste has been sacrificed, the quality of energy has been greatly improved while the total amount of energy is basically stable.

For the production of energy blocks, which requires strict control of the amount of tree fruit used in each production, this improvement is no less than increasing the "density" of energy, which is extremely rare.

In other words, after the first attempt, Firio and Milia realized that by using this new berry, they could add other berries equivalent to about 32 to 36 energy blocks into the 37 blocks.

As a result, after the first failure, the next three attempts to produce energy blocks were all successful, increasing the energy abundance by a full 6% on top of the original 15%.

Moreover, the magical energy inside the fruit of Apei came into play, allowing this energy block to not only enhance the Pokémon's resistance to ghost-type attacks, but also slightly increase its physical strength.

"I think that with this fruit, A Pei can get at least an intermediate breeder's certificate, as long as it can be mass-produced."

Finally, Millia made the final decision and gave a very high evaluation that belonged to a quasi-senior breeder. Apei's face flushed with excitement.

"I... didn't expect... it would actually work!"

In excitement, he and Mongoose Slash hugged each other tightly.

"So, Aunt Chigako, Apei, can we mass-produce this kind of fruit? I think it can be used as a specialty product of the cultivation house. Teacher Milia and I also want to place long-term large-volume orders."

After patting his buddy's shoulder gently and smoothing his back, Firio asked in a deep voice after calming down.

"Mass production... If we start now, it will take about three months, and it should be ready by early June. I saved some seeds, but the first batch may not be enough."

When it came to his professional topic, Apei calmed down and immediately entered into focus mode. He calculated with his fingers and gave the answer.

"If we use the experimental field in the breeding house, it should be faster, about two months. The fruit trees currently being planted can be transplanted out to make room for you."

Chigako looked at her son proudly and made a decisive decision.

As the best breeding house in Sala, it is not difficult to support the rapid growth of a kind of fruit tree.

Apei's talent in fruit cultivation far exceeded her highest expectations.

Milia nodded with satisfaction. "That would be the best. Senior Chigako, how about we sign a long-term contract for the fruit now? It just so happens that if our patent for improvement takes effect, it will also be at that time."

"Improved patent?" Chigako keenly grasped the most crucial point, "Is it the two boxes of advanced formula from that day, the one for the ghost type?"

"Yes, Aunt Chigako, it can increase the effect by about 6%, and there will be no obvious loss."

Firio nodded implicitly. He had no intention of hiding this matter. On the contrary, the Apei family's breeding house was one of the most suitable places in Sara to sell this kind of energy cubes.

"I think we can talk. Please wait for me for a moment, little Filio, and Teacher Milia. Apei, you stay with me for a moment."

Chigako bowed slightly apologetically and walked quickly to the backyard, apparently to find her husband Masato.

-----------------

After some discussion, the two sides drafted an expected agreement that satisfied both parties.

If Filio and Milia's patent for the improvement of the energy cube is approved, the Ape family's breeding house will obtain the exclusive rights in the Sala area at the official agent price, and the breeding house will also increase the profit share by 5% on this basis, and supply the two with a certain number of various high-quality tree fruits at cost price every month, which is % to % lower than the selling price.

Although the expenses were not low, a regional exclusive right of advanced energy cubes and the foundation of long-term cooperation still made the Yaren couple very excited and satisfied.The biggest shortcoming of the breeding house has also been partially filled.

For Filio and Milia, there are not many institutions in Sara that are truly powerful enough. Apei's breeding house is the best choice. It can also bring in extra income, which is an unexpected surprise.

Therefore, after a party where both guests and hosts had a great time, the expected agreement was successfully reached.

Although it did not take effect immediately, Filio's debt crisis finally found a glimmer of hope, which made him feel a lot more relieved.

-----------------

Several days passed in the blink of an eye, and it was March 3st, the first day of Filio's last semester at Salo College.

The little dream demon who secretly went out in the middle of the night to practice extra exercises is now drowsy.

In his hand, he was holding a small paper bag containing an autographed photo for Ina, and he had a backpack slung over his shoulder.

Firio yawned as he walked on the familiar way to school.

Then, at the intersection where they had met countless times, they met Antoine and Ina who had been waiting for some time.

"Hehe, we finally caught you, Firio!"

Miss Ina's murderous intent could be clearly sensed from a distance, making Firio realize a dangerous fact.

Since the last separation, Firio has entered a long period of "disappearance", which made his two friends very dissatisfied.

However, Philio was prepared. He immediately raised the paper bag in his hand and handed it to Ina like offering a treasure.

"There are more than one autographed photo of Miss Nazi. How about it? Isn't it very thoughtful?"

"Do you think that's enough? If I hadn't been able to find you online, I would have thought you were kidnapped! Antoine, do it!"

Ina snorted, and Antoine was about to come up and "lock the man up" again.

"No, no, no! I was wrong, I was wrong. There are so many people here, please be careful about the impact! I have been busy with a recipe improvement these days, and I have been with Teacher Milia the whole time. And you see, I haven't delayed our script work, right? I will go to the movies with you two this weekend, let's watch Miss Karuna's new work. As long as you don't think I'm a light bulb, I'm fine with it."

Seeing that things were getting serious, Filio quickly begged for mercy, explaining and promising, which made the two classmates' expressions ease a little.

Under Antoine's questioning gaze, Miss Ina clapped her hands in satisfaction and said:

"We'll let you off this time, but if you disappear again next time, we won't let you off so easily."

So, the three of them walked side by side and disappeared at the end of the street.

The last semester of the advanced class at Sara College is finally about to begin.

"Speaking of which, Firio, have you gotten stronger these days?"

Walking beside Filio, Antoine, who exercised regularly, keenly noticed Filio's changes. After pinching his arm, he confirmed this further.

"Well..." Firio's eyes flashed with Korni's pretty face and devilish teaching. "It's a bit of a long story... I can only tell you, don't mess with that crazy girl Korni."

-----------------

“This is your last semester at Shala College. Whether you decide to continue your studies, travel, or find a career, the school will not be your last stop. I hope that you can gain something in this last semester of learning and progress together, and have a brighter future.”

In the classroom of Advanced Class 1, standing on the podium, Milia, who was dressed neatly, was a little emotional.

A considerable number of the students sitting below were the ones she had brought up from the intermediate class.

As this was the first class she had taught since she started teaching, she devoted a lot of effort to these dozens of students.

The students, led by Firio, also repaid their teacher's training with their own achievements, making this class the best one in Sara Academy.

Every time Millia saw these students, she felt a great sense of accomplishment in her heart, but today was a little different, with an added sense of sadness as the day of separation was not far away.

However, this emotional fluctuation was only fleeting, and she soon returned to her daily work state.

The first lesson of this semester is still the theory of Pokémon training, the basic skills of all trainers.

Unfortunately, for most students, this may also be the course with the worst grades.

After all, theoretical learning is indeed too boring for many fighting-loving students who are keen on becoming trainers.

At the podium, Milia’s lessons were easy to understand and profound.

The students were in different states in their seats.

Apé was concentrating, Antoine was confused from time to time, and Miss Ina, who was keen on art and not very interested in studying, was drowsy. Then she was hit accurately by the chalk head, gasped, covered her forehead where a white spot was hit, and sat up pitifully.

The other students can be roughly divided into two categories: those who can understand and those who cannot understand.

Only Filio was a little different. He picked up a big book and started reading it as if no one was around.

Milia and other classmates were already used to this and did not have any abnormal reactions.

After all, the head of the college in his class is indeed far ahead of other students in terms of progress.

Halfway through the class, Milia asked a question about the preparation of elf food. No one in the class could find the answer. Even Ape didn't quite understand it. So, she cleared her throat and raised her voice a little: "Filio, you answer it."

"Most of the nutrients needed for Pokémon's growth can be obtained from various fruits. The purpose of preparing Pokémon food is to better integrate these nutrients contained in the fruits, concentrate them, and prepare them in a form that is easier to store for daily use and travel. Master Rosa Joy proposed that the preparation of Pokémon food needs to be carried out in an environment with suitable temperature to ensure the complete extraction of nutrients and avoid waste. Pokémon food of different qualities, categories and optimal objects requires different temperature environments, but generally speaking, 24 to 31 degrees Celsius is appropriate."

In response to Milia's question about the impact of temperature on the preparation of elf food, Firion answered directly without even looking up.

Although he was always doing his own thing, he was also multitasking and always paying attention to the teacher's lessons and questions. This was true for other classes, and even more so for Milia's class.

Millia often talks beyond the syllabus, and besides him, only Apei can answer these relatively complex and difficult specific questions in the class. However, Apei is only good at the field of tree fruits and his weakness is more serious.

"Filio said it very well. Students who are interested in developing in this field should remember that elf food is our daily consumables. It may be more important than energy cubes."

Millia breathed a sigh of relief and continued her teaching, but she lowered the difficulty and returned to the scope of the course requirements.

-----------------

"Jingle Bell"

"This is the end of this class. Remember to review today's knowledge after class. Tomorrow's training class will be a practical operation. We will practice the configuration of elf food. I will check them one by one."

Closing the lesson plan, Milia told all the students the news that made them happy.

Not only did they finally get through the most painful, but also the only "half-day class" in the academy, they could also take a practical class tomorrow that was called food preparation, but was actually a free-for-all.

When Millia left with a slightly tense face, the classroom was filled with laughter, which made Millia, who was not far from the door, couldn't help laughing.

"Phew~ The get out of class is finally over. Come on, Firio, Antoine, and Ina, don't sleep anymore. You've been sleeping for most of the day! Come and see my little Vulpix. Isn't he very cute?"

After drinking half a bottle of water, Apei felt like he was finally alive. He thought of the most important thing he had to do today: show off his Vulpix. So, he waved to Firion and the others, and several students who were sitting nearby also came over.

"Goooo~!"

Vulpix, who had not stayed in the Poké Ball during class but was held on Apei's lap, had just gotten enough sleep. He greeted the students around him with full energy, then jumped up and flew into Firio's arms.
