Chapter 16: Teacher, we're bastards!
When Luo Yan returned to school by car, she felt that everything was different.
But before he could finish his exclamation, Hou Hao got out of the car on the other side and strode over to his side with an air of indifference.
"Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, and I, Hou Batian, am back!"
Luo Yan sighed. "Keep your voice down, it's so awkward. Look how different the way Uncle Wang looks at you has changed."
Lu Feng wasn't surprised at all by Hou Hao's performance, probably because he was already used to it. "You guys go inside, I'll pick you up after school to go to the match club."
After saying goodbye, Lu Feng stepped on the gas and drove away.
Although on the surface he is Hou Zhi's driver and disciple, in reality he has a lot to do. Hou Zhi has to accompany his superiors today, so he has to take his place at the dojo.
Hou Hao pulled Luo Yan into the school, acting as if Luo Yan was the most important person in the world and he was the third most important person in the world.
Upon arriving at the classroom door, Hou Hao coughed and walked slowly and deliberately to the podium.
The students who arrived early were taken aback at first, then rolled their eyes.
"You scared me! I thought the teacher was here."
"Never mind him, let me copy his homework."
Rushing to finish homework during Monday morning self-study is an unavoidable part of student life.
Hou Hao came to the podium and gently tapped the table with the blackboard eraser.
"Ahem, everyone look at me, I have something to announce."
"Brother Hou, are you sick?" a student couldn't help but ask.
Most of the students looked at Hou Hao on the podium with curiosity, except for a few who were busy copying homework.
"Let me tell you, from now on we're not from the same world anymore."
"Tch, as if we're from the same world now."
"Exactly, when did you, a young master, lower yourself to such a lowly position?"
Hou Hao pretended not to hear the students' murmurs below and continued speaking with his head up.
"Originally, I wanted to interact with you under an ordinary identity, but instead I was met with estrangement. Now I'm not going to pretend anymore."
"I'm a Shiny Pokémon Trainer, and I'm coming clean!"
Students: ......
As Hou Hao finished speaking, the classroom fell silent.
Even those in the back row who were writing furiously stopped.
The crowd looked at each other, then erupted in a roar.
This can be described as a single stone stirring up a thousand waves.
The entire classroom erupted in excitement. Upon hearing the words "Shiny Pokémon Trainer," no one could remain calm. Even some of the female students stared wide-eyed at Hou Hao in disbelief.
"Holy crap, Hou-ge, that's amazing! Your dad finally got you a starter Pokémon!?"
"As expected of Lord Hou, he can even get his hands on Shiny Pokémon!"
"No wonder you haven't given me your Pokémon yet, Brother Hou! Your dad was planning a big surprise for you!!"
"Hahahaha..." Hou Hao laughed heartily upon hearing this. Having a shiny Pokémon but not showing it off is like wearing fine clothes in the dark.
However, when he heard his classmates misunderstand that his shiny Pokémon was given to him by his father, Hou Hao quickly and earnestly corrected them.
"Don't talk nonsense! This Pokémon wasn't given to me by my dad. The Pokémon my dad prepared for me is still in its egg. This Pokémon was caught by Luo Yan when he took me to Green Tributary this weekend!"
What?!?
"What!?"
"What?!"
brush--
All eyes were fixed on Luo Yan, startling him so much that he almost unleashed a Star Magic spell on their faces.
"Impossible, a green tributary? That's a place even dogs wouldn't go."
"I remember the Green Branch only had some common Pokémon. Although there were quite a few Bug-type Pokémon, there weren't even Pinsir or Heracles, and there were very few Bird-type Pokémon."
"Brother Hou, what kind of Pokémon did you catch? Let us see it!"
"Exactly! I've never seen a live Shiny Pokémon before!"
"You want to see?" Hou Hao blinked. "Fine, since you're so eager to see, then keep your eyes peeled!"
Back in her seat, Luo Yan covered her face helplessly, listening to her classmates' excited shouts when they saw the mosquito coil tadpoles; the noise was almost enough to lift the ceiling off.
He sensed something was off as soon as he entered the school gate. Sure enough, Hou Hao was a restless fellow who couldn't wait to tell the whole world about any good thing he got.
If someone like that were to acquire some kind of special ability, they probably wouldn't be able to hide it.
The system was obtained on the first day, and the person was sliced up on the second day.
Just as Luo Yan was lost in thought, the classroom became even noisier. Looking up, she saw that many students from other classes had also gathered around.
It turned out that the noise in the classroom had caused people from other classes to think something had happened, so they all gathered at the door to watch. What they saw shocked them.
What? Someone from the next class brought a shiny Pokémon to school?!
In schools like theirs, it's rare to find even a regular Pokémon brought to school, let alone a shiny Pokémon.
Within minutes, the news spread, and more and more students came out, including some younger students. The entire corridor was packed with people, resembling a bustling marketplace.
The students in the back couldn't see, and the students in the front didn't want to leave. Not only the students, but some teachers who had just started working were also stunned.
They thought there had been some kind of fight, but after asking around, they found out what had happened. Several teachers couldn't help but look on with envy as they waited for Wang Zhenguo to arrive.
It's not that they don't want to watch, it's that they can't squeeze in.
When Wang Zhenguo arrived and saw the grand scene in the corridor, his blood pressure immediately spiked.
"What are you doing? What are you doing? Go back to your classrooms!"
When the homeroom teacher of Class 7 arrived, the students knew they couldn't join in the fun, so they scattered like birds and beasts and left in an orderly fashion.
After everyone had left, Wang Zhenguo led a few curious teachers who remained into the classroom.
As soon as he entered, he saw Hou Hao on the podium, and the mosquito coil tadpole that Hou Hao was holding in his arms, looking very happy.
The mosquito coil tadpole didn't know what was going on, but it really enjoyed being the center of attention.
"Hou Hao, you..."
"Teacher, Luo Yan and I are skipping evening self-study tonight, and we won't be attending any more evening self-study sessions from now on. We're taking our first step towards becoming superstars!"
Wang Zhenguo: ......
Although I know in my heart that this is a normal development, why do I feel so uncomfortable seeing him so smug?
"Old man, you probably haven't seen a Shiny Pokémon in all these years, have you? Come and take a closer look."
"Oh, by the way, you can sign autographs if you want. I've already signed them for all my classmates. When I become a superstar, these things will be worth a fortune."
"Since you're my homeroom teacher and treat us well, how about Luo Yan and I write a signature for you?"
Wang Zhenguo finally couldn't hold back any longer.
"You two bastards!!"
