The class meeting concluded successfully, and the three girls returned to their dormitory like birds to a nest, meticulously arranging their books and neatly folding their school uniforms.
Xia Bing enthusiastically suggested, "Tomorrow is the official start of school, so why don't we go out and buy some supplies today?"
Bai Ou thought for a moment and replied, "Sure, my Pokémon's energy cubes are running low, so it's a good time to buy some."
"Qingzhu, how about you?" Xia Bing and Bai Ou asked.
Mu Qingzhu pondered and replied, "You two forgot, I established 'Manjushage' last month, so I'm not short on energy cubes."
"Alright then, we'll just go by ourselves later," Xia Bing said helplessly.
Hearing Xia Bing say that, Mu Qingzhu smiled and said, "Since you both want me to come with you, then beg me!"
"Please, please!" Xia Bing and Bai Ou instantly ran in front of Mu Qingzhu and pleaded.
"Alright, alright, since you're begging me, I'll reluctantly go out with you," Mu Qingzhu said after considering their pleas.
Subsequently, the three stepped out of the school gates together, heading to a nearby mall to purchase daily necessities and various delicious snacks.
After carefully putting their purchases back in the dormitory, they eagerly made their way to 'Manjushage'.
Upon arriving at 'Manjushage', Mu Qingzhu said to Xia Bing and Bai Ou, "I'll go up first to see if there's any unfinished work. You two can look around on your own. I'll give you a 50% discount later."
"Okay, okay, Qingzhu, you go ahead and be busy. We'll look around," Xia Bing said.
Afterward, Xia Bing and Bai Ou browsed the energy cube section, while Mu Qingzhu went to the top floor, to Olivia's office, and inquired, "Are there any unresolved issues recently?"
"Have we recruited anyone recently?"
"How's the recent revenue?"
Facing these questions, Olivia calmly replied, "There haven't been any unresolved issues recently. We've hired some service staff during this period, but we haven't found anyone for leadership positions yet. Recent revenue has declined slightly compared to when we first opened, but the quality of our main product, energy cubes, is relatively high, making them easier to sell than at other energy cube stores."
Hearing Olivia's report, Mu Qingzhu was quite relieved. She then instructed her to continue recruiting and poaching talent, and to keep searching for evolution items.
Subsequently, Mu Qingzhu left Olivia's office to look for Xia Bing and Bai Ou in the energy cube area.
Upon seeing Xia Bing and Bai Ou, Mu Qingzhu asked, "How many energy cubes did you buy?"
"I bought 10 cans of Ice-type advanced energy cubes, and 1 can each of Water-type, Fairy-type, and Rock-type advanced energy cubes," Xia Bing replied first.
"I bought 10 cans of Flying-type advanced energy cubes, 1 can each of Normal-type and Rock-type advanced energy cubes, and 2 cans of Dragon-type advanced energy cubes," Bai Ou also replied.
Then, Mu Qingzhu led the two to the cashier to pay, giving them a 50% discount.
After purchasing the energy cubes, Mu Qingzhu asked Xia Bing if there was anything else she needed to buy.
Xia Bing thought for a moment and replied no, then asked Bai Ou if she needed to buy anything else.
Bai Ou also replied no.
Then, the three left 'Manjushage' and headed back towards the school.
Not long after, the three successfully returned to school.
As dusk gradually fell, they decided to head to the cafeteria to fill their stomachs and enjoy a delicious meal.
After dinner, Xia Bing and Bai Ou felt a bit tired, so they decided to return to the dormitory to rest.
Mu Qingzhu, however, chose to stroll leisurely around the campus, taking the opportunity to better understand and familiarize herself with the school environment.
After a long walk, Mu Qingzhu had broadly surveyed most corners of the school.
Once she felt she had a basic understanding of her surroundings, she returned to the dormitory.
Back in the dormitory, Mu Qingzhu took out her phone, unlocked the screen, and looked for the class schedule in the group chat.
She found that there were only two classes every morning and one class in the afternoon.
After checking, Mu Qingzhu quickly washed up and then peacefully went to sleep.
...
The next day, as the sky just began to show a hint of light, Mu Qingzhu got up early.
Then, Mu Qingzhu quickly changed into her athletic wear, designed specifically for exercise.
Light footsteps echoed in the quiet dormitory hallway as she walked out of the dormitory and headed towards the sports field.
In a corner of the sports field, she began her morning exercise, injecting a full dose of vitality into the new day.
After finishing her workout, Mu Qingzhu quickly returned to the dormitory and took a comfortable hot shower.
Immediately after, she began preparing a nutritious breakfast for her Pokémon, ensuring it would greet the new day with abundant energy.
Just as Mu Qingzhu finished meticulously preparing food for her Pokémon, she unexpectedly found that Xia Bing and Bai Ou had also woken up and were cooking breakfast for their Pokémon.
After carefully preparing a hearty breakfast for her Pokémon, Mu Qingzhu also began to prepare breakfast for herself.
...
After breakfast, the three returned to their respective rooms, changed into neat school uniforms, returned their Pokémon to their Poké Balls, and then clipped the Poké Balls to their waists, ready to embrace the new lessons.
Subsequently, the three entered Classroom 3-1 in the teaching building together.
As they entered, they noticed that a few classmates had already arrived.
So, the three found empty seats and sat down.
Soon, more classmates arrived one after another.
Today's first class was "Pokémon and Abilities," so Mu Qingzhu took out her book and casually flipped through it.
As time quietly passed, it was already 9 AM.
The bell for class rang on cue, echoing melodiously throughout every corner of the campus.
Immediately after, the classroom door was gently pushed open, and a man walked in with steady steps.
He walked to the front of the podium, stood still, and introduced himself in a calm voice.
"My name is Xu Xingyu, you can call me Teacher Xu.
From now on, I will be teaching your class on 'Pokémon and Abilities'."
Then, Teacher Xu continued to elaborate on the unignorable rules for class.
"First: No tardiness in my class;"
"Second: No whispering during class;"
"Third: Daily homework must be completed."
After clarifying all the regulations, Teacher Xu officially began today's teaching process.
Teacher Xu first explained the unique Abilities that each Pokémon possesses.
These Abilities are mainly divided into two categories: one is the commonly existing "Common Ability," and the other is the rare "Hidden Ability," also known as a "Dream Ability."
However, each Pokémon can only have one of these Abilities, not both.
Next, Teacher Xu deeply analyzed the Starter Pokémon — Bulbasaur's Ability.
Bulbasaur's most common Ability is Overgrow, which significantly boosts the power of Grass-type moves when its HP drops to a certain level.
Its Hidden Ability, Chlorophyll, greatly increases its Speed in sunny weather.
Then, Teacher Xu summoned his Scyther and had it swing its scythes.
He invited the students to observe carefully and explain Scyther's Ability.
[Pokémon: Scyther, Type: Bug, Flying, Gender: Male, Level: 45 (Gym Leader level), Ability: Swarm (When HP is low, the power of Bug-type moves increases), Moves: Glare, Quick Attack, Fury Cutter, False Swipe…
Egg Moves:
TM/HM: Acrobatics, Aerial Ace, Bug Buzz, Held Item: C-rank Silver Powder, Aptitude: Gym Leader level]
Mu Qingzhu, through the system, saw that this Scyther's Ability was 'Swarm'.
Mu Qingzhu wrote down the Ability and the reason for that Ability on a piece of paper, then handed it to Bai Ou.
Subsequently, Bai Ou raised her hand and answered the question.
Just as Bai Ou finished answering, the dismissal bell rang.
Then, Teacher Xu assigned homework, requiring each of us to record in detail the names, Abilities, and Ability effects of all Pokémon in our notebooks.
"Please place your notebooks on the podium before class tomorrow.
I will randomly check them."
