This elf world is a bit strange

"It's expected, it's expected." Thinking of what he had fed a certain little fat man in Haruka, the corners of Filio's mouth turned up unconsciously, like a little fox who had succeeded in his conspiracy.

But then he changed his mind, looked at Antoine suspiciously, and pretended to be serious: "Then why don't you have to run laps, or go to a professional fighting teacher for special training or something? This won't do. When I see Bai Yu, I will talk to him about it. Considering that Nazi and I helped him, I will definitely give you a full range of caring services."

“Are you human?!”

Antoine's miserable howl of doubt about his life passed through the car window and reached the roadside, attracting many sidelong glances.

Inside the car, including his girlfriend Ina, there was a happy atmosphere.

......

......

Amidst the laughter of most people and the pain of a very small number of people, the car drove steadily to the gate of the University of Miami.

However, unlike the last time when there was a lot of excitement, this time few students took the initiative to come forward and greet Kamal.

As the end of the term approaches, everyone is in a hurry, and a few are still bitter and resentful.

Many professional courses at Miare University are obstacles on the way for people to graduate. If you don’t study hard, you will definitely have trouble passing it. Sometimes even if you study hard, it will be difficult.

The final exam preparation month of each semester can make many people lose a lot of money, except for the combat and art departments that value practical operations and place theoretical learning second.

Coincidentally, the young couple who had time to play around with Filio were in these two departments, forming a sharp contrast with the classmates around them whose faces were bitter and a bit desperate.

......

......

Standing in front of the statue of the god that once amazed him, Firion felt completely different.

He has come into contact with all three gods that coexist with the Kalos continent. Not only has he forged a certain friendship with Xerneas, he has also had a thrilling life-and-death battle with Zygarde. Even the most distant Yveltal has fought side by side with him for a short time.

The close contact and interaction made their divinity in the eyes of the world gradually fade away in Firio's eyes, and was replaced by the indifference and faint intimacy after familiarity.

"Madge!"

"Buy!"

It was also the second time they came here, and Dream Demon and Taiyang Ibrahimovic were completely different from the previous ones. Looking at the magnificent statue of Xernias, they were filled with emotion, and at the same time, their mentality became more peaceful.

After seeing the true legendary Pokémon, they became less panicked, more confident and calm. One lay quietly on its own "special seat above the head", while the other jumped into Firion's arms and let Firion hold her tightly, just like the last time she stood here.

Antoine and Ina were a little confused, but Kamal saw something of it. He stood aside with a smile, quietly watching his son who had made tremendous progress in just a few months and even achieved incredible achievements in the eyes of the world.

He suddenly thought of what the principal said to him a few days ago.

Perhaps it won’t be long before a fourth statue really appears here, dedicated to the powerful Pokémon who was unwilling to leave his name and true appearance but truly saved the continent from the crisis of destruction, to express the gratitude of the people of Kalos.

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

Revisiting an old place is a different experience.

In the school battle field of the Battle Department, Bai Yu was leading the students in after-school training, which included not only Pokémon tactical training, but also physical fitness exercises for the trainers themselves.

In this university training ground, which symbolizes the highest level of academic trainers in the Kalos region, there are many acquaintances of Firio, or some of his former "defeatable opponents".

Sean, who practiced weather tactics with Kyuubi and fought fiercely with Shiraha, did a great job.

Doris fought one against two, relying on her varied tactics and quick command to fight against Yingshu and Rosaline.

His face is no longer stern, but has a gentle smile. At this moment, Water is sitting in the corner and cultivating (secretly) (lazily) feelings (touching) (fish) with the burning worm.

Standing shoulder to shoulder with the burly Swampert, the solemn and heroic rainy girl, Nanako, is training with her punches.

Arsena, who was born in Baike, and Alex, who had trained with him in the Mirror Cave that day, got together. Carlos, a rich young man, and the miner's son from Galar unexpectedly got along well and were inseparable. The hairy troll and the wind ball also became acquainted with each other and each fight was evenly matched and it was difficult to tell who was the better.

Portis of sandalwood, Mireille of aromatherapy, Iris of agarwood, Excellene of wind catkins... Figures who had fought or met each other in the championship appeared before their eyes. In just a few months, everyone's level had improved significantly.

Of course, what really impressed people was the little fat man who lay weakly on the back of Alola's Rumble Rock and rushed towards him with a rumbling sound.

"Phi-lio-o ...

A hoarse cry filled with resentment for Firio's "deeds" with Haruka resounded throughout the venue, attracting everyone's attention. At the same time, a round and flexible figure pounced and bumped into Firio with sweat all over his body.

[Shashajin used a heavy impact, which had a mediocre effect and caused only minor damage to Firion.]

"…So, this is what you mean by losing a lot of weight?"

Feeling the same weight and impact as a few months ago, Firio subconsciously glared at Antoine.

Then there is no more then.

Shashakin's "charge" attracted a collective attack from old acquaintances, led by Sean, who surrounded Philio, leaving him no time to breathe.

A long time ago, Sean and his friends wanted to visit the hospital, but were blocked outside the door by medical staff. Now that Philio came to the door himself, a lively "welcome ceremony" was inevitable.

Even Antoine, who was unable to dodge, was dragged into it, and under the strong pressure of Alola Rhydon and Swampert, he followed in Firion's footsteps.

In the enthusiastic physical contact, former opponents and classmates vented their emotions and expressed their admiration and longing for this old friend who had left them behind after just a few months of absence.

The deeds of Philio and Chaomeng are known to everyone in today's dueling department. As opponents and fellow students who once competed on a battlefield, they were shocked by the incredible time itself. , I also feel heartbroken and proud.

......

......

The lively welcome ceremony lasted for a long time amidst the personal vendettas between a fat man who did not want to reveal his identity and a funny guy, which made Filio deeply feel the weight of Shashakin and Sean's pettiness.

Rubbing his dizzy head, Firio, deeply feeling everyone's enthusiasm, stood up shakily.

Looking at Sean who hid in the crowd after a successful attack, Shashakin who was touching his nose with laughter, and Walter who was hiding aside trying to fish in troubled waters, Philio smiled warmly.

"Long time no see, everyone."

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

Firio's arrival obviously disrupted the class plan for the freshmen in the Combat Department this morning, but judging from everyone's expressions, they seemed to be happy to be able to skip one of Teacher Baiyu's practice classes, especially Shashajin.

Even... maybe including Bai Yu himself?

Surrounded by the crowd, Filio carefully visited the combat facilities and training venues of the Combat Department of Miare University for the first time. It must be said that it was indeed several levels higher than the Jinglei Training Hall.

Even Baiyu's own Flamehawk had to use all its strength to cause even the slightest damage. As for the students, the strongest ones, Watt and Gold, could only barely make their ace Pokémon reach the quasi-king level. It would be extremely difficult for them to leave any trace in such a venue.

However, even so, they are already considered quite outstanding students on campus today.

The upgrade from the level of a gym to a quasi-king is quite difficult for many outstanding combat students, including Thornton, who studied here many years ago and became the head student. He only made this breakthrough in his sophomore year, and his growth rate slowed down a lot afterwards.

The few people who were able to receive funding from the Carlos Youth Talent Introduction Project and the young talents from various colleges made this year's combat department quite talented.

However, this is based on normal circumstances.

For Firio, who has grown extremely rapidly through adventures and battles, the battles and training with his old classmates can no longer arouse his desire to fight. They just make him feel a little nostalgic, as if he had returned to the Miare Arena more than half a year ago.

Instead, he was very interested in competing with Bai Yu, with whom he had fought briefly at the Flash Team headquarters.

The two people hit it off immediately when their eyes met, and on the field where they didn't have to worry about the intensity of their shots, they demonstrated a high-level tactical confrontation for the shining-eyed students.

The Flying Dragon and the Warrior Eagle.

Big Mouth Baby and Armored Bird.

There are also the Dream Demon and the Fiery Arrow Eagle that have attracted much attention.

Compared to Damir, who has difficulty recovering fully after being seriously injured, Baiyu, who also specializes in Flying Pokémon, is obviously better.

Years of fighting side by side have made him and his Pokémon more coordinated. Even though they only competed to a certain extent, it allowed Firion to truly demonstrate his level as a flying expert.

With speed, altitude and impeccable timing, Bai Yu, who had mastered air supremacy, firmly took the initiative and displayed air-to-air, air-to-ground and multi-domain blitzkrieg tactics in a dazzling array of offense and defense.

Although they had a deep understanding of their teacher's strength, the young talents present were still amazed to see him give it his all.

However, what amazed them even more was Firio’s tactical response and command strength.

From the high-speed aerial combat with Dragonite, to the close combat with Kog'Maw, to the fast counterattack of Dreamhound against Fiercehawk, although he was inferior in strength and inevitably passive in the situation, he never lost his composure, and he advanced and retreated according to his circumstances, which made Bai Yu feel very difficult. He was even nearly hit by the tricky electromagnetic waves several times, thus reversing the situation.

In the end, seeing that Filio did not show any signs of fatigue, he could only sigh and give up the idea of ​​winning the city. After the bombardment of Storm and 100,000 Volts, he withdrew his offensive, slowly landed on the ground, and shook hands with Filio.

"It seems that you are indeed correct in choosing not to study at Miare University. Now not only me, but the whole school should have no teachers who can teach you anything. Maybe I will not be your opponent in the near future."

Amid the booing and cheering students, Bai Yu's handsome face showed helplessness. He took the initiative to move forward and sighed in a low voice when shaking hands.

"You're welcome, Mr. Bai Yu. The sparring with you is more difficult than the battle with Damir. Although both are one-on-one, I can't hold on any longer. Thank you for showing mercy."

In front of his classmates and friends, Filio kept a low profile and lowered his head humbly, giving enough face to the teacher who had recruited him, which made the teacher smile more and secretly relieved.

Returning the favor, Bai Yu was not stingy in front of the junior he admired. He waved his hand generously, looked at Kamal who was watching from afar, and said loudly: "Teacher Kamal, please don't blame me for taking the gift you prepared for Firion first."

As he said this, without waiting for Kamal to answer, he took out a light blue card from his coat pocket and put it in Firio's hand.

"It's a rare opportunity for you to come here. It's not my style not to give you a gift, right, my comrade?" Bai Yu blinked with a smile in the corner of his eyes, and explained to Firio who was confused, "This is the pass to the school and the training ground. As long as he is here, you can come to the Miare University for training for free in the future. You will participate in the Miare Conference next year, right? This is our gift, you must get a good score!"

"You are trying to steal my advantage, Baiyu. Doesn't this make me, as a father, seem incompetent and slow?" At this time, Kamal arrived late, holding the card in his hand helplessly, complaining with a helpless smile.

"Haha! So I've already apologized to you, Teacher Kamal. But this is not the end, I still have to occupy Firio from you for a while longer!" Bai Yu laughed, pointed to the indoor training hall in the distance, strode forward, and said proudly as he walked, "Come on, I'll take you to visit the indoor facilities and equipment. In the whole of Carlos, except for the venue prepared by the alliance headquarters for the champions, I can guarantee that there is no place better than ours. Follow us! The morning training will be changed to indoors!"

"Oh~!"

Knowing that they would not have to endure the cold outdoors, the overjoyed students responded enthusiastically. Their cheers shook the sky. Only twenty or thirty people followed Bai Yu, and they marched out with the momentum of a mighty army.

The two lively guys, Shashajin and Sean, rushed to the front, along with their good friends, Alex and Arsene, who also liked the fun.

Even Nanako, who always seemed to be more quiet, and Watt, who was aloof, did not fall behind and followed the crowd to catch up.

Firion played with the cards in his hand, exchanged a smile with his pretendingly troubled father, and chased after him with the unsatisfied little dream demon.

There was constant laughter and joy along the way.

Although it was deep winter, the campus was still filled with youthful energy and vigor, making Filio, who had just been freed from the clutches of the hospital and Dean Farang, feel particularly relaxed and happy.

......

......

The enthusiasm of the University of Miare is hard to escape from.

The luxury of Miare University is really enviable.

In the blink of an eye, it was already after lunch and more people came to the campus to rest and play.

If you add the lazy sunshine and the beautiful little girls all over the campus...

【Danger】

Firio was daydreaming about something when he suddenly saw Ina reading a script draft beside him, and he thought of something very dangerous.

I was led astray by those two unruly guys, Sean and Yingshu. This kind of thinking is unacceptable, unacceptable!

"Gudu"

He swallowed and shook his confused head, then quickly took a few steps to catch up with his father and headed towards the research institute.

After all, I'm here on a mission. Although I'm not sure whether my dad's Mythology Research Institute can help, I still have to give it a try.

In the sunlight, the pendant on the chest jumped slightly, and flashed slightly when Antoine and Ina didn't notice it, along with the Z energy crystal that was tightly tied to it and emitted pleasant life fluctuations all the time.

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

The Institute of Mythology seemed to be particularly busy at the end of the year. Every researcher and student was in a hurry, carrying various cardboard boxes and shuttling between various offices and laboratories.

"They will go to Sinnoh in a while to help build a research camp there. The preliminary work alone will take a long time, and then we will go there to officially start the investigation."

Seeing Firio's surprise, Kamal explained to his son with a smile, and pointed to a few men and women who looked young.

"Our profession requires frequent inspections of ancient ruins. Unlike those who spend every day in the library, we cannot do without some survival and exploration skills. If you are not a jack of all trades, you cannot conduct field investigations."

"Is that so? Then why doesn't Dad have this ability? You don't even have clothes at home..."

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Firio looked at his unreliable father suspiciously, but was interrupted by his coughing before he could finish his words.

"I just don't have the opportunity to practice!" Kamal said awkwardly, beads of sweat appearing on his forehead. "Haven't we always had little funding? This time with the financial support of the Sinnoh League, it's different. In one or two years at most, you'll be able to see our results, and then I'll take you to play."

"..."

Firion said nothing, just watched silently.

After a long time, he sighed and said softly, "It's okay if you fool me, but don't fool yourself, especially don't fool your mother. If she gets angry... Tsk!"

"Don't underestimate me!" Kamal didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He waved his hand and pressed it on Firion's head, scaring away the little dream demon for a moment. While rubbing it hard, he pretended to be annoyed and said, "Can you trust me a little?"

Filio shook his head politely, "It's not that I don't trust you, but I've been thinking about what you told me about the Institute of Mythology having equipment and technology that can help Priscilla. No matter how I think about it, it doesn't seem very reliable."

"Let me tell you, Firion, you are prejudiced."

"Isn't this common sense?"
