By this point in the battle...
The team members watching from the sidelines no longer cared all that much about who would win.
Or rather, caring was pointless. The outcome was practically set, and tomorrow's Shanghai University newspaper headline was already written-
Freshman from outside the battling department fields a monstrously powerful Misdreavus; team members Wang Linpeng and Li Fei give their all, but fail to defeat it.
All that remained was to sit back and enjoy Misdreavus's slaughter show.
And that was exactly how the rest of the match played out.
As a Fire-type, Arcanine was immune to the Will-O-Wisp that had worked wonders in the earlier battles.
But under Misdreavus's relentless barrage of Shadow Balls, Arcanine was just as helpless to fight back.
In game terms, Arcanine's HP bar plummeted, while Misdreavus's swung up and down in exaggerated troughs and peaks.
Only at the very end did a small complication arise-
With its energy nearly exhausted, Misdreavus formed one final Shadow Ball. The move should have finished Arcanine off, but the lack of energy left it short of its intended power!
Fortunately, Li Fei's Arcanine knew no recovery moves like [Morning Sun].
Otherwise, Misdreavus might have failed to complete the final 0.01 percent of its four-opponent sweep.
After another half minute of dragging things out, Arcanine finally fell to a Shadow Ball the size of a water droplet, cobbled together from Misdreavus's last tiny scrap of energy.
Thud-
With Arcanine crashing to the ground, Xia Chi's "Transfer Exam" finally came to an end.
It concluded with Misdreavus sweeping all four opponents-an outcome no one but Xia Chi had anticipated.
"Tsk. Did we really almost blow it?"
Looking at Misdreavus, utterly spent on the battlefield without a drop of energy left, Xia Chi frowned slightly and muttered to himself.
