Cheng Tian had been at Magic City University for a while now. Compared with his previous university life, it was as different as heaven and earth.
He had coasted through his previous university life, giving up on making any effort. Because of his personality, Cheng Tian had never made any particularly close friends, and he had lost contact with practically all his university classmates after just over a year.
At Magic University in this world, Cheng Tian delved into Pokémon knowledge every day and occasionally joined the School Team's training.
It was worth mentioning that earning a university diploma in this world required studying a foreign language, including but not limited to English, French, German, Japanese, and Russian... Because history had been drastically altered, English was not compulsory. Everyone could choose a foreign language according to their interests, and Cheng Tian had chosen Japanese.
Today, he had filled out his foreign-language elective form and was planning to hand it to Counselor Liang after class. Who would have thought Counselor Liang would come and call him away right in the middle of class?
Following Counselor Liang to the office, Cheng Tian thought he was being urged to submit his foreign-language elective form, so he handed it over.
"Sir, this is my..."
Without even looking, Counselor Liang took it and tucked it beneath his elbow. "Cheng Tian, the forty-first National Pokémon University Pokémon League Tournament will be held in the Imperial Capital next January. You're going to participate."
"Huh?" Cheng Tian froze. He had learned about this whatever-it-was league tournament before. Universities from around the country simply sent members of their School Teams to compete. "I understand. I'll participate. But why are you the one telling me? Shouldn't the School Team coach be handling something like this?"
"Because you're a starting member."
