All eyes converged on Lu Ye.
"Right, Brother Lu also competed!"
"But the opponent's school team. Don't pressure our class rep..."
Mid-sentence, several girls secretly glanced at Lu Ye.
Despite unease, their eyes showed a trace of emotion.
At critical moments, handsome Lu remained reliable!
Shen Tingzhi looked at this aggressive Gastly, slightly furrowing her brows.
Keen intuition told her this Gastly's strength absolutely shouldn't be underestimated!
But the trainer before her... though genuinely handsome, regardless, he was a Finance Department student.
Regarding command, he definitely couldn't compare to the Battle Department!
"Hey, Brother Lu, you serious?"
Tian Youwei whispered, "If you lose, you might not compete tomorrow!"
Lu Ye was originally hesitating.
Hearing Tian Youwei's words, his eyes immediately brightened.
Then wouldn't I be able to focus on finals review!
Patting Tian Youwei's shoulder, Lu Ye smiled.
"I'll handle this."
Stepping forward calmly, Lu Ye said coolly, "Our Magic University has no tradition of letting girls step forward!"
"Class Rep Lu..."
Lu Ye felt burning gazes behind him, like thorns on his back.
Battle Department male students behind Shen Tingzhi wore gritted-teeth expressions.
This guy being handsome was one thing.
Now showing off before them?
Could they tolerate this?!
A Finance Department freshman daring to challenge the Magic University school team member.
I see you don't know how the word "death" is written!
"Sister Shen, teach this punk properly!"
"Right, beat him until he quits being a trainer!"
Lu Ye's eyes immediately brightened, gratefully looking toward the shouting male student.
"Quiet!"
Shen Tingzhi turned to the PE teacher. "Teacher, please also serve as referee."
Teacher Gao sighed. "Got it. If you can resolve this... I'm still on probation!"
Finance Department students crowded around Lu Ye, marching toward the battlefield aggressively.
Gastly also widened its bloodshot eyes, floating beside Lu Ye, showing a ferocious smile.
This grin fell on Shen Tingzhi's eyes, sending chills down her spine.
But only Lu Ye knew this was merely Gastly's all-nighter aftereffects.
Well... dark circles did make it look more fierce!
Tian Youwei looked uneasy, whispering, "Brother Lu, are you confident?"
"Uh... actually, I'm not great at commanding."
"?"
"This is my first real battle command." Lu Ye smiled cheerfully.
"I'll give it a try!"
"???"
On the standard 10x10 field, Shen Tingzhi and her Granbull were already battle-ready.
Granbull was a bulldog-like Pokémon with a fierce appearance, standing on two feet.
It had lavender fur, powerful jaws, and sharp canine teeth.
Seeing Shen Tingzhi's Pokémon, Lu Ye felt somewhat regretful.
Thought he'd see adorable Ralts!
Turned out Fairy-type family only had Granbull-level!
Teacher Gao blew his whistle. "Match begins!"
Shen Tingzhi swung her arm. Where her finger pointed, Granbull already lunged out.
"Bite!"
But while Granbull was still mid-air, Gastly was already grinning at its side.
Shen Tingzhi's heart flashed with surprise.
What speed was that?
Lu Ye sighed inwardly.
Everyone knew Granbull would use Bite, so why still treat it as a finishing move?
"Gastly, Substitute!"
Gastly's black mist twisted. A gas mass separated, forming two grinning Gastly.
Under everyone's astonished gazes, two Gastly flew around Granbull at astonishing speed!
"Why... does Sister Shen look suppressed?"
"You're kidding! That's just tactics to lower the enemy guard!"
Cold sweat dripped down Shen Tingzhi's forehead.
Gastly's speed was too astonishing!
Must limit its speed!
"Granbull, use Scary Face!"
"Gastly, close your eyes!"
Commands rang simultaneously. Shen Tingzhi glanced at Lu Ye in shock.
Finding him wearing an 'as expected' expression, even somewhat disappointed.
"Too easy to predict." Lu Ye murmured.
An unprecedented pressure weighed on Shen Tingzhi's heart.
She was... predicted?
So-called predictions meant trainers foreseeing opponent commands during battles.
This was an extremely risky commanding strategy.
Once failing, it could lead to a complete situation collapse.
But... successful predictions dealt fatal blows to opponent morale!
Impossible, just a coincidence!
Shen Tingzhi pressed her lips tightly.
He just coincidentally guessed my command!
On the field, Granbull's Intimidate was wasted on the blind, completely missing.
While Gastly, closing its eyes, burst with alluring Confuse Ray!
Light flashed. Granbull shook its head, not falling into confusion.
This relieved Shen Tingzhi, her eyes regaining determination.
"Granbull, Bite!"
Granbull opened its gaping maw, but Gastly easily dodged.
Shen Tingzhi looked at Lu Ye dazedly.
Seeing him point at the ground, he helplessly shook his head.
Due to Gastly's Mean Look, Granbull's legs were trembling, unable to move even half a step!
"Though Granbull looks fierce, its personality is surprisingly timid." Lu Ye sighed.
"If you'd read more Pokédex entries, you wouldn't have let it make eye contact with Gastly."
Shen Tingzhi opened her mouth but found her throat blocked.
"Don't space out!" Lu Ye panicked.
"This is verbal provocation, it's tactics!"
Lu Ye was stunned.
He originally thought Magic University school team members could at least see through trash talk, this low-level tactic.
Turned out he hadn't even started trashing, and this young lady already began doubting herself?
You're making it impossible for me to act!
Shen Tingzhi bit her lower lip, voice trembling slightly.
"Granbull, u-use..."
"Gastly, Will-O-Wisp!"
"Ssssskeke!"
Grinning Gastly danced in the air. Three cold Will-O-Wisp clusters continuously circled, finally converging into an explosively powerful fireball.
In cold air currents, Granbull was blasted away, fur covered in messy scorch marks!
"Awooo!!"
Granbull emitted a mournful cry, but Gastly's combo didn't stop!
This wasn't turn-based gaming.
If Shen Tingzhi couldn't find breaking methods, Gastly's attacks would continue indefinitely!
That said, facing Gastly's astonishing speed, Granbull found absolutely no counterattack openings.
Shen Tingzhi's rigid commanding made Lu Ye anxious to watch.
What happened to Magic City University?
Current school team only have this level?
People I meet in gaming are stronger than you!
"Boom!"
With the final explosion, Granbull wailed, crashing to the ground.
In dead silence, everyone looked at Lu Ye dazedly, huge question marks floating in their minds.
Lu Ye... beat the school team member?
Recalling Lu Ye's pre-match words, Tian Youwei was stunned.
You call this not great at commanding?
Saying you're not skilled, then purely through commanding, crushed the school team member?!
Brother Lu, have some shame!
