Teacher Zhang did not care what Lu Kai or the little brats in his class thought. He hurried to the restroom, so excited he nearly laughed out loud!
Others might not know, but he did!
Xu Mu, the student in his class, was an extraordinary genius!
He had come out of nowhere to win the Rookie League!
The school had even praised Teacher Zhang for it. Xu Mu's talent had little to do with him, but the boy was still his student. Surely he was entitled to bask in a little reflected glory.
Teacher Zhang had thought Xu Mu would leave for bigger things once he made it. Who knew the boy would come back on his own?
Good. This was good!
Class Sixteen had been stuck in second place forever, always trailing Class One in both academics and sports.
Even that old woman who taught Class One had lorded it over him!
But Xu Mu was back. Wasn't Teacher Zhang about to soar?
Lu Kai was a godsend! Teacher Zhang had been looking for an excuse to show off, and the boy had handed him one!
He had started this fight himself!
Hahahahaha!
Teacher Zhang hid in the restroom, laughing with delight. Little did he know that a student out of uniform stood behind him—Xu Mu.
Is something wrong with this teacher?
No, wait. From the original owner's memories, Teacher Zhang seemed all right. Why is he hiding in the restroom laughing?
Xu Mu gave Teacher Zhang, who was cackling in a corner, a look of distaste. He decided not to interrupt the man's fun.
He turned and went back to class.
In the classroom, everyone was discussing the match scheduled for after school!
At Teacher Zhang's suggestion, Lu Kai had naturally chosen a Pokémon battle!
Class One
