Chapter 192 Moral blackmail? How can you blackmail someone without morality?
Chapter 192 Moral blackmail? How can you blackmail someone without morality?
Even Xiao Gang, standing to the side, was 'moved' by the referee's subtle criticism. After all, those words were the truth, and they really struck a chord with him.
"Students from Quartz College, what you're doing is really wrong. As the saying goes, 'Where there's life, there's hope.' 'Forgive and forget.' Can't you at least give way a little, considering we're all the same age?"
Finally unable to hold back any longer, Shiranui In spoke up, wanting to use moral blackmail against Xuan Mingtian and the others. At the same time, she subtly hinted at being the team's second leader, and even gave the three a flirtatious wink.
"Hey, are you twitching your eyes? Or is there sand in your eyes? What are you doing running around in your eyes? Do you think we're blind? Let me tell you, as long as we have no morals, we won't be held hostage by others. You might as well give up on that idea."
(This phrase, "you braised food," was personally taught to them by Xuan Mingtian. At the time, he bluntly stated that the word was an insult.)
See? Shiranui In's actions immediately provoked the dissatisfaction of the two girls, and even prompted the hot-tempered Chen Qianqian to directly retort.
It really proves her point: as long as you lack morality, you won't be held hostage. She's absolutely right; even the referee standing nearby couldn't help but twitch his lips.
"You...you're not ladylike at all! How did your parents raise you? You're a disgrace to the whole family!"
Chen Qianqian's words also angered Shiranui In. Although she didn't know what "you braised food" meant, she roughly understood that the other party was insulting her.
"What do you mean, 'you'? What do I mean, 'me'? You can't even speak clearly. Go back and wash up and go to sleep. Did your parents teach you to stutter? And one more thing, I'm not part of any family. My parents are just wealthy businessmen."
Upon hearing that the person she had been arguing with was not a wealthy businessman, Shiranui In's vanity immediately took hold, and she erupted like a tigress about to explode.
"Alright everyone, now is not the time for arguing or fighting. You can fight however you want during the Pokémon battle. Now let's move on to the next question."
As soon as the judge finished speaking, the screen flashed. Instantly, the next question appeared, along with a creature obscured by black, its form resembling a frog on all fours, with a round, sharp object on its back.
However, the moment the image appeared, Xuan Mingtian already knew what kind of spirit it was. He immediately pressed the button, and Quartz Academy was the first to respond.
"Referee, this is Bulbasaur. It belongs to the Seed-type Pokémon, and its Egg Group is Plant/Monster. Its type is Grass/Poison, and it has two abilities: Overgrow and Chlorophyll. Its average height is 0.7 meters and its weight is about 6.9 kg."
(Flourishing: When in battle, the lower a character's HP, the more powerful Grass-type moves become.)
(Chlorophyll: When in battle, Pokémon with this ability will have their Speed greatly increased in sunny weather. However, this ability will be lost once the sunny weather ends.)
Bulbasaur is a four-legged Pokémon that resembles a toad. It has bright red eyes, white pupils and sclera, and a pair of protruding ears on its head.
(Therefore, some people also refer to the three starter Pokémon of Kanto as: Salamence, Aquamancer, and Garlic Toad. This is also the origin of the name of Xuanmingtian's Bulbasaur.)
It has a short, blunt nose and a large mouth. When its mouth is open, you can see a pair of small, sharp teeth on its upper jaw.
Its skin is blue-green with dark green markings. Each of its thick legs has three toes on the soles of its feet, each ending in a small white claw.
It is said that when it was born, a magical seed was planted on its back that would grow along with its body.
Bulbasaur stores nutrients in the seeds on its back, so it can survive for several days without eating.
Of course it is, after all, it's a Grass-type Pokémon. Every Grass-type Pokémon stores nutrients or water in some part of its body.
For a period after its birth, it absorbs nutrients stored in the seeds on its back to grow. Sometimes it can be seen napping in the sun. After basking in plenty of sunlight, the seeds on its back will thrive.
This is the instinct of most Grass-type Pokémon, or simply photosynthesis. Grass-type Pokémon also live longer than most other Pokémon, like the four old men in Xuan Mingtian's family. They're practically three generations living together in their household.
"Haha, Xuan's answer was perfect. Congratulations on getting another point. I hope you continue to work hard. At the same time, the students from the Trainer Academy also need to step up their game. Now, let's take a 10-minute break. But you can't leave the ring area."
After the referee finished speaking, he ignored the tense atmosphere and walked straight out of the ring. Although he had said that they couldn't leave the ring area, he ignored him.
My gaze fell on the podium, where I saw Principal Fuji of the Trainer Academy. His face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and it wasn't hard to imagine where the anger of someone known as the 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle' had gone.
"Oh dear, Principal Fuji. Why is your face so dark? Is your heart hurting? Or is your liver overloaded? I have some nitroglycerin pills and some iced cola here. Don't do that."
Haha, the legendary sharp-tongued old fox has finally made his appearance. One sentence and he's already got to the point about someone's heart condition—isn't he afraid of making them cough up blood?
"You...you...you're very good. Principal Guo, you're trying to provoke me into a fight, but I absolutely won't fall for it. Forget about it, I don't believe your students can keep answering questions indefinitely."
After saying this, Principal Fuji immediately reached into his pocket with trembling hands, and after a tense fumbling, finally pulled out a bottle of medicine.
Principal Guo, who was standing to the side, clearly saw the words "antihypertensive drug" on the medicine bottle, which made him look at the other person with disdain.
He then added, "Tsk tsk tsk, people get troublesome when they get to a certain age. Either their heart isn't doing well, or their liver hurts, and most importantly, their blood pressure spikes to the top of their head. They're so fragile! Principal Fuji, how about we get a cup of milk tea to mix with your medicine? It's very healthy."
However, Principal Fuji didn't pay any attention to the sharp-tongued fox at the moment, because he was trying to control his blood pressure by taking medication. Even with today's advanced medical technology, collapsing suddenly from anger was a matter of face, as it might cause a serious injury.
After all, he didn't want the education community to know that his "Ninja Turtle" nickname had been exposed, as it was also a matter of the school's reputation.
