"Eh? A teacher?"
Heiduo froze when he heard the answer.
He had already imagined a two-hundred-word essay about why Mr. Yujian had kept Higan alive, wondering whether there was some conspiracy and whether Yujian and Teng Jun wanted to use her for something.
Yet why did it feel like a villain had been recruited instead?
"Yes, she's teaching at a basic cultural education school in Hearthome City, Sinnoh," Yujian said slowly.
What was a basic cultural education school?
An elementary school.
Rayquaza's destined one had become an elementary school teacher!
Heiduo felt a bead of cold sweat silently roll down his forehead... It was hard to comment.
Afterward, Teng Jun, the secretary-general and the one who had insisted on sparing Higan's life back then, slowly explained the details.
In fact, it was exactly as Heiduo had initially thought.
The reason Higan had been kept alive was that Teng Jun had wanted to use Meteor Village's considerable strength to get rid of those useless seat-warmers on Indigo Plateau.
What he had not expected was for Meteor Village to be cowardly as hell. Even after he had leaked the list of people responsible for the Rayquaza Capture Plan through various means—
They had done nothing.
They had even called back the clan members who were away.
They looked as though they intended to turtle up.
If not for the Elite Four arc and certain later events, those people might still have had their asses planted on Indigo Plateau.
Higan, this "chess piece," had become a "discarded piece."
Teng Jun and Yujian had not turned their attention toward Higan for a long time.
If Heiduo had not brought her up now, they would probably have forgotten her entirely before long.
That was a little too much like treating someone as a tool.
So
