"Battle? Later?"
Mu Yun did not mind battling at all. In fact, the more, the better.
Although Ling Qingying's Delibird had an impressive status panel, sorry, Xiao Du's was even more outrageous.
"How could that be? My sister is the varsity team captain, so she automatically takes up one competition slot. She won't be participating later." Ling Ruijie shook his head.
"Besides, she's trained Pokémon for a year longer than us. We definitely can't beat her now. We'll have to wait at least a few years."
"Fine."
Mu Yun nodded.
But Ling Qingying occupied one slot?
Then what was that Delibird muttering about earlier, saying that six people would be decided?
Would one be kept as a substitute?
While Mu Yun and Ling Ruijie chatted idly, Liu Yizhong and the others' discussion was also drawing to a close.
He had no idea how they had discussed it, but the final result was more or less what Delibird had muttered.
Mu Yun curiously asked Qu Qi about it.
Qu Qi: Because this was how the varsity team had always been selected in previous years. The capable rose, the weak fell. Strength spoke.
Mu Yun: ...
Then what had you all been discussing so enthusiastically just now?
After the discussion ended, everyone left the meeting room in small groups and headed toward the varsity team's dedicated battle arena.
The moment he entered the battle hall, Mu Yun saw Ling Qingying, her long black hair cascading down her back. Like a snow lotus atop the Tianshan Mountains, she sat alone at the judges' table.
Her posture was as it had always been, hands folded over her lap as she quietly looked down at the field.
"Does she not even play on her phone when she's alone?"
Mu Yun curiously asked Ling Ruijie.
