Charizard Valley

Eichi's face lit up. At last, he had heard some good news.

Ever since Larvesta had hatched, he had worried that Professor Da Teng would ask for it back. After all, they had found Larvesta's egg, so it would have been perfectly reasonable for them to reclaim it.

If they had insisted on taking Larvesta back, Eichi could not exactly have refused. By then, he would have had nowhere to cry.

Now, he could finally relax. And not only that, Professor Da Teng had also gifted him a set of Volcarona cultivation methods.

He knew just how precious that was. It could practically be called priceless.

Yet Da Teng had simply given something so valuable to him.

Eichi's favorable impression of Da Teng immediately soared, and he silently committed this kindness to memory.

"Thank you so much, Teacher Jiang Ben."

"It's nothing. I should be thanking you for helping me solve such a huge problem."

"All right, enough of that. It's getting late, so you should head back. Did you remember everything I told you?"

"I remembered it."

"Good."

In a luxurious room, Kong Fei viciously hurled a glass cup onto the floor.

Crash!

The cup shattered into fragments. Still not satisfied, Kong Fei threw another cup.

Several days had passed since the Whole-School Selection Match. Now, whenever he walked down the road, people pointed and whispered about him.

He knew what they were saying. They were all discussing how weak the 6th Grade students were.

This Selection Match had eliminated half of them outright.

How could someone as proud as Kong Fei endure being criticized like that every day?

Especially when Eichi's words from the Battle Arena kept resurfacing in his mind.

It made him hate Eichi as well.

After venting, Kong Fei sat down on the sofa.
