Chapter 109: I Think It’s Fine
“Uh······okay.”
Li Wei, whose expectations had all fallen through, switched his mobile phone to the WeChat scan to add friend page and handed it to this senior student named Luo Ze.
“OK, then I won’t disturb you and your Pokémon from visiting. Contact me on WeChat if there’s anything, I’ll send you the form later.”
After saying that, Luo Ze waved his hand at Li Wei and left.
He originally thought it was a fresh find-trouble-slap-face event, but just as he was preparing to sharpen his knife and throw out Eevee, he discovered it was a serious matter, and one he had been thinking about since a long time ago: the University Competition.
His mood suddenly became a bit subtle, just like having taken off his pants, gazing at the graceful back view and even having named the child, only to discover it was a brother with a dick.
······
‘But···the competition and school team selection race ah···’
He was actually quite looking forward to it.
It wasn’t that Li Wei was arrogant, but to be fair, he felt that currently his strength had no opponents among his peers, so going to spar with higher-year senior students to see exactly how tough he was would also be a very nice itinerary plan.
Thinking this way, Li Wei walked while taking out his mobile phone to check the news about the selection race on Magic University’s official website.
Every year, Magic University’s selection race is live-streamed on campus, and almost all students pay attention to this annual selection race.
Although it’s only for on-campus, Magic University invites many ‘industry insiders’ to commentate every year, and there will also be media catching wind and shadows to interview these invited big shots, doing reading comprehension from it and writing news.
To some extent, this also highlights Magic University’s status in the contemporary Pokémon Trainer education world, as well as the public’s attention to Trainer education.
For this reason, Magic University’s school team selection and university preliminary competition are held very grandly and with a variety of formats every year.
Of course, this year is no exception.
After Li Wei browsed through this year’s selection race rules, he couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows.
“Ah this······”
This time’s selection race rules were unexpectedly easy for him to understand.
To sum it up in two words, it was—eat chicken.
The on-campus match won’t have life-or-death battles, so describing it as battle royale is a bit inappropriate, but because of the similar rules, calling it real-life eat chicken is no problem.
The match will be held in a venue specially built by the school for activities, located in the school’s ‘Activity Zone’ planned as the ‘school event’ venue.
A number of registered students, each contestant Pokémon and Trainer has an identity badge.
Each Trainer may carry three Pokémon to participate in the selection race.
If the badge on the Pokémon is shattered or it becomes battle-incapable, it loses match qualification, and the Trainer must recall it into the Poké Ball and cannot release it again, otherwise it will be deemed as losing match qualification.
If the badge on the Trainer is shattered, it is deemed as losing match qualification.
Shattering one badge grants two points score.
There will be a number of Pokémon specially released by the school in the venue, and they also carry badges.
Depending on the badge colors, from red to purple there are a total of 7 levels of badges; shattering a red badge grants 1 point, purple badge 7 points.
But the Pokémon released in the field will continue to stay in the venue even after losing the badge, until they become battle-incapable before being recalled into Poké Balls by the staff.
In addition, every thirty minutes, the positions and points scores of the Trainers in the field will be displayed on the overhead big screen, and every twenty minutes a special event will trigger.
Specific events include but are not limited to ‘forced shrink circle’, ‘school team members entering to harvest’, ‘releasing professional level Pokémon into a certain area of the field’.
······
Excluding that it’s a selection race, purely treating it as a game, Li Wei felt he should play it very enjoyably.
The top 30 students in the final points ranking will be incorporated into the school team, the top 10 students will be assigned to the University Competition substitute team, and before the end of the first semester, they will participate in the school team internal battle race together with the currently pre-selected first team’s six members, deciding 12 people through absolutely fair man-to-man battles to represent Magic City University in the University Competition in mid-March of the next semester.
Most of those participating in this match will be second-year and third-year university students, while some confident first-year freshmen will also be eager to try for these spots.
For most first-year freshmen, their objective is just to strive for the top 30 to secure the honor, title, and credits of entering the first-year squad.
Or in other words, even if the score is not in the top 30, but having outstanding performance in the selection, showcasing one’s unique aspects, being recognized by the on-site mentors and school team core members, and gaining more than ten votes of approval in the meeting, one can join the school team.
In short, this will be a struggle where all school students except fourth-year university students gnaw at each other’s scalps for credits.
Bloody, and cruel（ big fog）.
The competition has participation qualifications, but they are not very strict.
A Trainer only needs to hold no fewer than five Pokémon to represent the school in the match.
Only team battles, scoring system, but the match formats will include single 1v1, 2v2, team 3v3/6v6 and arena race, and other modes.
Elimination and advancement in points form, in addition there is the annual convention ‘special mode’.
A variety of formats, to increase ratings（ draw to death）, also to increase fun diversity, besides training Trainers’ broad development, also for the sake of future comprehensive ability training.
After all, Trainers who only know ‘fair competition’ and ‘1v1 man battles’ have no way to touch the peak, nor any method to survive.
￥￥￥￥￥￥
After understanding the purposes and confrontation modes of the two major events, Li Wei raised his eyebrows and pondered his plan.
If said out loud, perhaps someone would think he was arrogant, but he was already researching the opponents of the University Competition.
······
Under Eevee pulling his hair with her claws, Li Wei and Riolu carried full hands of street side snacks back home.
“Li Wei, I just checked your Magikarp’s data.
How about, instead of choosing another day, let’s consider the evolution matter now?”
After the routine daily life physical examination, Doctor Liu came out and asked Li Wei.
“Hm? So fast?”
Li Wei was stunned for a moment, then continued, “Alright, is Magikarp’s condition still OK?”
“Very perfect, I think no problem.”
“Alright, but I haven’t chosen the evolution location yet.”
Li Wei twitched his mouth, inwardly emoting ‘eventually paid the price for his own ddl procrastination’.
“No problem, for me this experimenter, it’s all small matters!”
???
“Ha? Specifically···???”
Li Wei asked Doctor Liu, who had a confident look.
