As the bell for the first class rang, students welcomed 30 minutes of break time.
Some students enthusiastically invited their classmates to spar, while others chose to stay in the classroom to preview the next lesson's content, and some chatted with a few close friends…
Xia Bing warmly invited Mu Qingzhu and Bai Ou to go to the restroom together. Although Mu Qingzhu was initially a bit reluctant, under Xia Bing's persistence, the three eventually went together.
Afterward, Mu Qingzhu returned to the classroom and took out the book for the next class, "Item Illustrated Guide," wanting to preview it.
As Mu Qingzhu flipped through the book, she noticed that most of the items described were common ones, such as the Moon Stone, a type of ite, and Silver Powder, an item used to strengthen attribute skills. However, special items like Revival Herb and Prism Scale were not mentioned in the book. It was confusing whether high school only required knowledge of more well-known items, or if these special items had not yet been discovered.
After a brief thought, Mu Qingzhu stopped pondering and decided to rest on her desk. She appeared to be closing her eyes to rest, but in reality, she had entered the "Pokémon Space" she had previously acquired to arrange training tasks for her Pokémon.
Ralts trained Confusion; Froakie familiarized itself with other attributes; Snivy, Zorua, and Growlithe attacked each other, with the other two using Protect to defend.
Just as Mu Qingzhu finished arranging the training plan for her Pokémon, the class bell rang appropriately. Immediately after, a young and energetic female teacher walked into the classroom.
The female teacher gracefully walked to the podium and smiled as she introduced herself to the students: "Hello everyone, my name is Han Renran. It is a great honor to be your instructor for the 'Item Illustrated Guide' course. In the time to come, I will lead everyone to deeply explore the mysteries of items, and I also ask all students to give your support and work together to achieve fruitful learning results." After the introduction, Teacher Han began her teaching with passion.
First, Teacher Han meticulously introduced the quality grades of items. These items were divided into seven levels from high to low: S, A, B, C, D, E, and F. Among them, S-grade items were undoubtedly the most precious, and their enhancement effect on Pokémon was the most significant. For example, an S-grade Fire Stone could evolve Growlithe into Arcanine and ensure a one-level increase in aptitude, but this effect did not apply to Champion-level Pokémon. Although A-grade items were not as rare as S-grade items, they were quite expensive. A-grade ite had a 50% chance of helping Pokémon improve their aptitude. B-grade items were relatively more common than A-grade items and slightly more expensive. B-grade ite could bring a 25% chance of aptitude improvement. C and D-grade items were quite common and moderately priced. C and D-grade ite could stably promote Pokémon evolution, but had no direct effect on aptitude improvement. As for E and F-grade items, they were almost everywhere. E and F-grade ite might not trigger Pokémon evolution after use, and there was even a risk of lowering Pokémon aptitude.
Next, Teacher Han delved into several key items, which were called "Miracle Seed." Among them, an S-grade Miracle Seed could enhance the power of Grass-type skills by up to 50% in battle; an A-grade Miracle Seed increased it by 20%; a B-grade Miracle Seed increased it by 10%; a C-grade Miracle Seed brought a 5% damage increase; a D-grade Miracle Seed enhanced skill power by 3%; an E-grade Miracle Seed improved skill effect by 2%; and an F-grade Miracle Seed, although with a smaller increase, could still bring a 0.5% damage bonus to Grass-type skills.
Finally, Teacher Han provided students with practical advice: if you plan to have your Pokémon carry an item, it is best to choose one of superior quality, because the quality of the item will directly relate to your Pokémon's potential and performance. Teacher Han's words concluded, marking the successful end of today's lesson.
The class bell rang, and Mu Qingzhu, Bai Ou, and Xia Bing tacitly packed up their books, preparing to go to the cafeteria together for lunch. After enjoying a delicious meal, they leisurely returned to the dormitory. As soon as they stepped through the dormitory door, Xia Bing and Bai Ou eagerly released their Pokémon, ready to train.
After witnessing Xia Bing and Bai Ou training their Pokémon, Mu Qingzhu turned and returned to her own room. She released all of her Pokémon. Then, Mu Qingzhu took out some energy cubes from her system backpack. These energy cubes contained abundant energy, enough to meet the needs of the Pokémon. She placed these cubes in front of the Pokémon as their hearty lunch.
After they had eaten their fill of energy cubes, Mu Qingzhu gently recalled them into their Poké Balls, then entered the Pokémon Space to meticulously check their morning training results.
Mu Qingzhu found that after the morning training, the Pokémon's strength had all significantly improved. She paid special attention to her main Pokémon—the Phantom Ruler Zorua. Zorua's Protect's defense and release speed had both significantly increased, which made Mu Qingzhu very satisfied.
After spending a pleasant time in the Pokémon Space, Mu Qingzhu brought her Pokémon back to the real world. She understood that to achieve good results in the upcoming monthly exam, she needed to train her Pokémon even harder.
So, Mu Qingzhu formulated a detailed training plan, preparing to work hard with her Pokémon in the coming days to face the challenges together. She believed that as long as she and her Pokémon worked together, they would definitely achieve excellent results in the monthly exam.
At the same time, Xia Bing and Bai Ou were also diligently training their Pokémon. They exchanged training experiences and shared each other's progress. The dormitory was filled with a positive atmosphere, and everyone was full of anticipation for the future.
As time passed, the afternoon sun gently shone on everyone. Mu Qingzhu glanced at her watch; the hour hand had quietly passed two o'clock. She turned to Xia Bing and Bai Ou and said in a calm tone:
"Let's go, it's time for class."
After recalling their Pokémon, Xia Bing and Bai Ou, along with Mu Qingzhu, left the dormitory and headed towards the gymnasium, preparing for the afternoon class that was about to begin.
Time flew by, and it was already two-thirty. The class bell rang leisurely, echoing throughout every corner of the campus. Teacher Wang Han, the homeroom teacher, walked into the gymnasium with steady steps, then said:
"I will be fully responsible for teaching the afternoon classes from now on."
"First, release your Pokémon."
