The entire crowd erupted in an uproar. They had only come to watch a match, yet they had stumbled onto such a bombshell scandal!
Hu Bin was just as excited. Well, well, no wonder the school team was so weak. There was a reason behind it after all. This was some juicy gossip.
Lin Dong forced a smile and said to the university president, "Sir, I don't know what you're talking about. I've always trained them properly. You've seen our regular training sessions yourself."
Zhang Xufeng gave Lin Dong a disappointed look. "You're a good Pokémon Trainer. You made a name for yourself when you were young, too. But your serious training was only a show you put on for me. I knew all along; I simply chose not to expose you. After all, you've been at this university for years. I originally intended to turn a blind eye, let you finish coaching this group next year, and then replace you. That would have let you leave with some dignity. But you've all gone too far!"
Lin Ye and the others did not dare argue. They all lowered their heads.
Lin Dong's face grew even paler. "Sir, if I stop being the coach, who will take over? The tournament is about to begin. The competitors and their coach need time to get used to each other."
Zhang Xufeng glanced at Lin Dong. "You don't need to worry about that. I already have someone in mind. I believe he'll do an excellent job leading the school team!"
Unconvinced, Lin Dong demanded, "Who?"
Although Hu Bin had been listening intently, his mind had already drifted off to the distant cafeteria.
