Meanwhile, led by the middle-aged man with a bald crown and watched by a crowd of students, Serperior and Leafeon finally arrived at the training grounds inside Jindu No. 1 High School.
Compared to Mianzhou No. 1 High School, where Serperior had spent considerably more time, Jindu No. 1 High School looked far better equipped at first glance.
It actually had three professional training facilities—three times as many as Mianzhou No. 1 High School—and their equipment was superior as well. One of them was already packed with students.
"Watch this Gym Leader-level battle closely and learn from it. Even an expensive VIP ticket at the Jindu Battle Arena wouldn't let you observe a battle from this close. Understood?"
"Understood!"
The speaker was the teacher leading Jindu No. 1 High School's senior-year school team, who also served as the instructor for its honors class.
His expression was stern, but a closer look revealed a trace of schadenfreude in his eyes.
The reason was simple: he had originally been scheduled to face Serperior today. But as luck would have it, a Gym Leader-level Trainer had arrived at Jindu No. 1 High School that very day to apply for the position of honors class instructor.
The balding principal had initially been torn. On one hand, their current instructor, Mr. Zhou, had led the team for years and had plenty of experience. Beyond all his hard work, he had delivered results.
Moreover, aside from the year Ye Lan had competed, Jindu No. 1 High School's results had been outstanding every year. This instructor had truly rendered distinguished service, but he was only a Professional-level Trainer.
The applicant, however, was a bona fide Gym Leader-level Trainer. Although he had no teaching experience, his strength was the real deal, making him a genuinely solid option.
