A skinny boy, looking like a monkey, hopped up to the two pretty girls and said with a grin, "Taozi, Yingzi, shall we go see a movie after school today? I'm telling you, a really good movie was released this month."

The girls named Taozi and Yingzi, one with a cool and aloof temperament and the other with a lively and pretty appearance, can be said to be in the prime of their youth.

The three are Qiao Yingzi, who is first and second in the grade, Huang Zhitao, and Fang Yifan, who is at the bottom of the class.

"I don't have time. Today is the day Zhao Xuan and the others return from the secret realm. I have to wait for him." The lively and pretty Qiao Yingzi glanced at Fang Yifan and said in a cold voice.

After saying this, Qiao Yingzi left.

Fang Yifan watched Qiao Yingzi's retreating figure, muttering under his breath with some displeasure, "Tch, what's the big deal? I wonder if she'll even be able to come back this time..."

Fang Yifan's words were filled with jealousy and displeasure.

Although Huang Zhitong didn't hear what Fang Yifan said clearly, his tone was obviously not kind.

Huang Zhitong really disliked Fang Yifan. If it weren't for her good relationship with Qiao Yingzi, she would have ignored him long ago.

She hates childish guys the most.

Then, Fang Yifan looked at Huang Zhitao with a grin and asked, "What about you, Taozi?"

"I don't have time either. After school, I have to go to tutoring. I want to be a Pokémon doctor, and there's a lot of knowledge to learn," Huang Zhitao said directly.

After saying this, Huang Zhitao picked up the book and started reading.

However, Huang Zhitao ignored Fang Yifan, but Fang Yifan, oblivious to his own limitations, continued to chatter on and on around Huang Zhitao.

Chapter Three: The Big-Toothed Sparrow

As Qiao Yingzi walked out of the classroom, she saw a bird of prey fly over the school building, leaving a large shadow in the setting sun.

It had orange feathers, with creamy white in the middle and at the tips of its wings. It had a red crest on its head and a long, pointed beak, like a small dagger.

It has a long neck, rough and messy feathers on its chest, and four brown tail feathers. Its wings are broad, and its claws are light pink, with three of its four toes pointing forward and one pointing backward.

This was a large-billed bird, about four meters long, with a human figure riding on its back.

"Wow!! Our school's trainer is back."

"Is that Senior Lin's big-beaked bird? It's so cool."

"I really want to be a trainer too."

"I heard that all the trainers from our school went to the secret realm this time. I wonder if there will be any casualties."

"Stop talking nonsense here, let's hurry up and go to the training ground."

Qiao Yingzi listened to the words of her classmates, her eyes filled with worry, while she touched the Poké Ball in her pocket.

"Yingzi, what are you thinking about? Let's go take a look." At this moment, Huang Zhitao's voice brought Qiao Yingzi back to her senses.

With such a commotion outside, all the students in the classroom knew about it, and they all came out, including Huang Zhitao and Fang Yifan.

However, Fang Yifan looked somewhat displeased and jealous, but Qiao Yingzi and Huang Zhitao did not look at him and quickly followed the main group to the training ground.

At this moment, it can be said that the attention of all teachers and students in the school is on the training field, after all, these returning trainers are heroes and the glory of the school.

.........

Meanwhile, in the junior high school of Chunfeng Middle School, in the first class of the third grade, two girls who were about fifteen or sixteen years old saw a large-billed sparrow flying across the sky. One of the lively and cute girls said happily, "Yun Jie, Senior Lin is back. Does that mean Brother Xuan is coming back too?"

The girl called Yun Jie was pretty, with a single ponytail, and had a heroic and spirited air about her. This was Zhao Xuan's cousin, Li Yun Jie.

"They're definitely coming back. He Lu, let's hurry to the training ground, or we won't be able to squeeze in later."

Li Yunjie's pretty face was full of surprise, and then she quickly pulled He Lu and ran towards the training ground.

At the same time, a voice came from the loudspeaker.

"Attention students!! Attention students!! All students proceed to the training ground!! All students proceed to the training ground!!"

"We've arrived at the training ground!! Line up according to grade and class!! Let's welcome our heroes!!"

"Students, please note..."

The broadcast sounded several times in succession, and the teachers and students of Chunfeng Middle School all headed to the training ground.

Teachers and directors from all grades went to maintain discipline.

Meanwhile, Guo Guangping, the principal of Chunfeng Middle School, along with the school director and some teachers, were already waiting at the training ground.

The great-billed finches plummeted from the sky like shooting stars. Their massive bodies violently rubbed against the air, creating a gust of wind that swept up billowing dust in all directions.

Faced with this sudden situation, people instinctively raised their hands to cover their faces, afraid of being attacked by the flying dust.

After all the dust had settled and the area had returned to calm, a figure nimbly leaped from the broad back of the Great-billed Sparrow and landed steadily on the ground.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a boy of about seventeen or eighteen years old. He was tall and slender with delicate features.

However, at this moment, his camouflage off-road uniform looked quite disheveled—seven or eight crisscrossing tears of varying lengths crisscrossed the garment, through which layers of bandages could be clearly seen wrapped around it; not only that, his originally fair face was also covered with shallow scars, making him look rather pitiful.

Upon seeing this, Guo Guangping quickly went over and asked with concern, "Lin Zhi, are you alright?"

The director and several teachers who were standing next to Guo Guangping quickly followed.

"Principal, I'm fine, just some minor injuries," Lin Zhi said, shaking his head.

Although he looked rather miserable, given his physical condition, he should be able to recover to about 70-80% after a week of rest.

This time he went to a low-level secret realm, and he was lucky enough to come back alive.

He had personally witnessed many trainers being torn to pieces by those magical beasts, so he was very happy to be able to return.

"It's good that you're alright. You're all great." Guo Guangping looked at the young boy in front of him and felt bad too. He had to face life and death at such a young age. He patted the boy on the shoulder and praised him.

"This is all our responsibility," Lin Zhi said, shaking his head.

When he decided to become a Pokémon Trainer, he already knew the responsibilities and consequences he would have to bear.

Of course, the government will not treat them unfairly. In this world, Pokémon trainers enjoy the best treatment. As long as they complete the tasks, they can also exchange for various items to become stronger on the official Pokémon website, as well as various preferential treatments.

"Okay, you can go and rest now," Guo Guangping nodded.

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhi nodded, then put the Finch into its Poké Ball and left as if he were a teacher.

Ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye, and everyone with flying Pokémon returned one by one.

Those who didn't have flying Pokémon had no choice but to obediently take the bus back.

Of course, there aren't many trainers at Spring Breeze Middle School who own flying Pokémon. Including Zhao Xuan, there are only six. People in this world don't just randomly capture Pokémon.

Most players train their starter Pokémon first before considering other Pokémon. After all, having one strong Pokémon is much more useful than having a bunch of weak ones.

Most people initially focus all their resources on training their starter Pokémon.

In the line of Class 1, Grade 11, Qiao Yingzi looked at the people returning one after another, but she didn't see Zhao Xuan. Her face was full of anxiety.

"Don't worry, Yingzi. Zhao Xuan is the strongest in our school. He'll be fine," Huang Zhitao said, trying to comfort her best friend.

Huang Zhitao knew about her best friend's feelings for Zhao Xuan.

Of course, Huang Zhitao also had her own thoughts.

She also had a good impression of Zhao Xuan.

After all, it's not only heroes who love beautiful women; beautiful women also love heroes.

Trainers like Zhao Xuan are heroes.

Qiao Yingzi nodded after hearing Huang Zhitao's words of comfort.

Not only was Qiao Yingzi worried, but in the junior high school, Li Yunjie's originally happy expression turned into worry, since everyone knew that the secret realm was dangerous.

Otherwise, most parents wouldn't let their children become trainers, because they know that becoming a trainer means the possibility of death at any time.

If things go wrong, it could mean the elderly burying their children.

Therefore, some people, even if they summon their starter Pokémon, still don't become Pokémon Trainers.

Chapter Four: Li Yunjie's Responsibilities

These are all personal choices, and the authorities haven't forced anyone. After all, some people just prefer a peaceful and uneventful life, with their families safe and sound.

Even if some people become Pokémon Trainers, they will often give up their Pokémon Trainer status after surviving a cruel secret realm.

Seeing her best friend's expression, He Lu comforted her, "Don't worry, Yun Jie. Xuan-ge will be fine. Senior Lin and the others went to a low-level secret realm, but Xuan-ge went to a mid-level secret realm. It's normal for him to come back a little later."

Although He Lu's words were meant to comfort Li Yunjie, they also made sense, as most low-level secret realms were located close to the Demon Capital.

The higher the level of the secret realm, the farther away it is from the city. This was all arranged when the nation was founded.

Of course, there are also some unexpected situations, such as a new secret realm suddenly appearing. These secret realms can be located anywhere in the world, and it would not be surprising if they appeared in the city center.

The secret realms that Zhao Xuan and his group entered all existed when the new Yanhua was established, or even earlier.

“That’s right, my cousin will definitely be fine. He said he’d give me a surprise when he came back.” Li Yunjie nodded, as if encouraging himself.

She and Zhao Xuan practically grew up together. Zhao Xuan doted on her terribly. It could be said that Li Yunjie's dependence on Zhao Xuan was even greater than that on her parents.

She didn't want anything to happen to her cousin.

"Gah!!! Gah!!" Just then, a sharp and unique cry suddenly rang out, like a sharp sword slicing through the sky, instantly spreading throughout the entire wide training ground.

The sudden shout was like a thunderclap, causing all the teachers and students of Chunfeng Middle School to involuntarily raise their heads and look in the direction from which the sound came.

Everyone looked closely and saw a huge, incredibly powerful bird of prey rushing towards the training ground at an astonishing speed. Its outstretched wings were broad and powerful, like two fighter jets roaring through the air, creating a gust of wind that rustled the surrounding grass and trees.

This raptor is covered in a layer of blackish-blue feathers as hard as steel. Under the bright sunlight, these feathers gleam with a cold, chilling light, sending shivers down one's spine.

Its claws were incredibly sharp, radiating a dazzling light, as if they could easily tear apart any object in its path. Its crimson eyes were filled with majesty and oppression; a single glance was enough to instill an invisible fear in anyone who looked at them.

Lin Zhi's big-billed sparrow was like a child compared to this bird of prey.

Seeing this from the rest area, Lin Zhi smiled helplessly and said, "It's true what they say, comparisons are odious. Zhao Xuan's Steel Armored Raven is getting bigger and bigger, and its strength is getting stronger and stronger."

"Lin Zhi, your Great Sparrow is already pretty good, at least you can ride it. My Great Swallow can only fly by grabbing me with its claws." At this moment, a boy next to him complained.

As soon as the boy said that, Lin Zhi and the other three laughed.

Not only were Lin Zhi and his group of five in the rest area surprised, but the teachers and students present were also discussing it, their faces filled with curiosity and envy, and of course, some jealousy.

After all, Zhao Xuan isn't a hundred-yuan bill; not everyone can like him.

Moreover, even the Renminbi (RMB) isn't something everyone can like.

For example, Fang Yifan looked extremely jealous, especially when he saw the happy expressions on Qiao Yingzi and Huang Zhitao's faces not far away, which made his expression even more unpleasant.

But Zhao Xuan was unaware of all this. Looking down at the crowd below, Zhao Xuan thought of his cousin Li Yunjie and Qiao Yingzi. He smiled knowingly, then patted the Steel Crow on the back and said, "Steel Crow, land."

"Caw!!!" With this piercing and loud cry, the Steel-Armored Raven descended slowly from the sky like a huge black steel beast. Its hard, armor-like feathers gleamed coldly in the sunlight, making it impossible to look directly at.

"Whoosh!!!" When the pair of giant wings, which were several meters wide when spread out, began to flap powerfully, a gust of wind suddenly swept by.

A powerful gust of air whipped up dust and sand from the ground, creating a billowing cloud of yellow dust. Compared to the wind generated when the big-billed finches landed, this gust was nothing compared to the powerful wind, and far more impressive.

Those who were closer to the blast wave involuntarily took several steps back. Some were even blown about and nearly fell to the ground.

However, despite the raging winds, the Corviknight was still able to maintain its balance and gradually land on the training field.

Before long, the Corviknight arrived at the center of the training field and landed steadily.

It folded its enormous wings and stood there silently, like an unshakeable mountain. At that moment, Zhao Xuan, dressed in camouflage, leaped down from the broad back of the Steel Crow.

Even with its wings folded, the Steel-Armored Raven was still nearly three meters tall, resembling a colossal creature. Compared to it, Zhao Xuan, standing beside it, looked like a young child standing before a small mountain.

As Zhao Xuan landed, Guo Guangping had already led several teachers over at a brisk pace.

Guo Guangping was accompanied by a cool and elegant older woman, Li Meng, who was Zhao Xuan's homeroom teacher. Although Zhao Xuan was a Pokémon trainer, he still needed to learn other knowledge.

So he and Qiao Yingzi were in the same class.

Of course, his main focus is on training Pokémon, and learning knowledge is also to help him better nurture his Pokémon.

"Haha, Zhao Xuan, you're finally back! I thought you went straight home again!" Guo Guangping's cheerful voice rang out even before he got close.

Upon hearing Guo Guangping's words, Zhao Xuan showed an embarrassed expression. Last time, he had come out of the secret realm and went straight home. This old man still remembered it. He's really stingy.

Of course, Zhao Xuan only thought these things to himself.

“Principal, I had something to do that time, didn’t I?” Zhao Xuan said with a smile.

"Teacher Li Meng, it's been a long time. Hello everyone." While speaking to Guo Guangping, Zhao Xuan also made sure to greet Li Meng and several other teachers.

"You little brat..." Guo Guangping laughed and scolded Zhao Xuan, who was in a sorry state. At the same time, he looked Zhao Xuan up and down and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that only his arm was injured.
