'Gods?'
Hearing Axel's words, Cynthia also became serious.
As a scholar, Cynthia had done some research into the history of the Sinnoh region, and she knew the terror of those gods in Sinnoh.
["Don't worry, I'll be careful!"]
After chatting with Cynthia for a while longer and telling her about Darkrai's goal, Axel hung up the phone and let Cynthia get some proper rest.
The situation over in Sinnoh wasn't considered urgent either, since Darkrai was working behind the scenes, Space God and Time God wouldn't be able to stir up any major waves in a short time.
After another call with Eva, Axel saw that many people were tagging him in the Ninox University fan group, so he opened the group chat.
As soon as he raised his hand, it was a video of Gyarados repeatedly performing the "flying dragon sits on face" move on the arena.
["You guys... actually made a meme video of Gyarados's battle at Blueberry Academy?"]
Seeing Axel appear, the Ninox University group chat instantly exploded.
[Sophomore – Darren: Hahaha, junior, you're too fierce! We're still trying to figure out how to play tactics, and you've already had Gyarados develop a move where it squirts water from between its legs. Is this move possibly fused with the Taunt skill?]
[Junior – Devek: Exactly, exactly. Judging from the reaction of the opponent's Pokémon, it looked like it got splashed with Water Gun. One skill causes damage while also inflicting two types of debuffs, this is totally something only you could pull off, junior!]
[Top scorer of Emberpine City's entrance exam: Looks up at the sky expression.jpg, I just formulated a poison effective against gym-level Pokémon, only to get eliminated by a poison bait. When it comes to underworld tactics, it's still the group admin who reigns supreme.]
Axel: "???"
'This is supposed to be a fan group, not a tactical breakdown Discord group!'
'I just thought Gyarados squirting water like that was funny, how did I become a tactical master in your eyes?'
[Axel: Don't interpret me with malice, okay? Where are my fans @Everyone, hurry and come out to support me! Your group admin is being bombarded!]
Under the full-group tag, a crowd of chirping upperclassman girls rushed out instantly.
[Third year – Isa: Junior, don't mind them! We've been cheering for you on Bilibili. Just now, Flint posted on Bilibili saying he wants to visit you, but he's having trouble finding your exact location. Now all his fans are helping him look for where you are.]
A bad feeling suddenly rose in Axel's heart.
'Flint isn't really coming to become my disciple, is he?'
'No way, I have to stop this guy!'
[Axel: I'll go take a look, you guys keep chatting.]
[Isa: No need to go! Crispin from Blueberry Academy is Flint's little fanboy, he just came and asked me where you are, and I already told him.]
[Axel: How do you know where I am?]
[Isa: I came here with you for the exchange training, remember? The one with the longest legs!]
Axel exited the group chat with a speechless look.
'Damn it, impossible to guard against...'
That day, Axel just wanted to let Cynthia relax a bit, so he beat up Flint a little harder.
He didn't expect that although this guy gave up challenging Cynthia, he set his sights on him instead.
Even more ridiculous, this guy actually had a little fanboy at Blueberry Academy.
"Forget it. When he comes, I'll just give him a good beating and let him understand how sinister the human heart can be."
"He's someone who follows the idealistic flow, how could he possibly learn these dirty tricks from me?"
"Just right, Glastrier loves to show off, let it put on a good show for him!"
As Axel finished speaking, a cold voice suddenly came from the side room next door, "Master, is someone trying to harm you?"
"Please allow Karen the chance to take action. Karen is willing to die a thousand times without regret!"
Axel turned to look and froze once more.
A blue-haired girl, with damp hair, was wearing his oversized T-shirt and looking at him with fiery eyes.
Because she was tall and slender, the T-shirt barely covered the tops of her thighs. Any lower, and it was pure white.
What stunned Axel wasn't the thighs, it was why Karen was still here.
"Why are you still here?"
As if sensing Axel's surprise, a hint of timidity appeared in Karen's eyes, and her tone became stammered, "I... I completed the mission, and didn't know where to go, so I thought I'd wait for Master to assign me the next one."
"If Master doesn't like it, I'll leave right away!", As she spoke, Karen's stomach suddenly let out a rumbling growl, and she instantly covered her belly in embarrassment.
Axel furrowed his brows, "So you waited here all day for me and didn't go out to eat?"
"Karen was afraid of missing Master's command."
Axel: "..."
"Your hair's been wet all day and you didn't even use the hair dryer?"
"Master only told Karen to change clothes, so Karen didn't dare touch Master's other belongings."
Axel let out a helpless sigh.
It's already night, how could he let Karen go out with wet hair to find food?
"Go dry your hair first. I happen to have some meat here, I'll make you a sausage, just something to hold you over for now."
"As for missions, tomorrow you find yourself a place to stay. We'll talk about other things later."
Plop!
Karen knelt on the ground.
"Thank you, Master, for giving me sausage to eat!"
Axel: "..."
'Why does it sound so wrong when you say it?'
