The money certainly wasn't enough to fulfill Principal Gui's expansion plans, but it could pay to finish another couple of unfinished rooms on the Teaching Building's ground floor.
After all, the incoming students would only be First-Year Class. There was still time to expand and renovate the upper-year classrooms upstairs next year or the year after.
If there was anything worth worrying about, it was the lack of successors in Pokémon High School's management.
Principal Gui was a capable leader with connections, but he had few people around him he could put to work in management.
A teacher had recently resigned for a better position. Below Principal Gui were Jixiang, Iron Pipe, the Head of General Affairs, and then the support staff.
Even without Principal Gui passing away, if he needed time to recuperate from an illness or retired in his old age, no one could take over Pokémon High School.
"Teacher Tieguan, couldn't you do it?"
"I'm just a rough-and-ready guy."
Iron Pipe had a very clear understanding of himself. He knew he had some experience in physical training and teaching basic energy perception, but putting him in a management position would really be asking too much.
The same went for Jixiang. She was only a woman of twenty-six or twenty-seven, born and raised on Island 6. She hadn't seen much of the wider world and lacked a mindset for either competition or development.
A while ago, the assistant to Little Orange Island's mayor had come for discussions. It had only been an ordinary visit, and Principal Gui had handled the reception with everything in perfect order.
Even just accompanying him, Iron Pipe and Jixiang had felt uncomfortable all over, their speech and movements somewhat stiff.
If they had to receive visitors themselves... ordinary people would be fine, but
