Chapter 218: Charger Bug
Chapter 218: Charger Bug
The female teacher was taken aback for a moment before she remembered the process of energy replenishment.
The eccentric freshman had fought nearly 20 matches without any replenishment, and she had almost forgotten this step...
Soon, a school doctor in a white coat walked onto the field.
On his shoulder perched a bug-type familiar, mostly rust-colored, with an orange helmet-like object on its head that had a yellow border. Its mouth was jagged and it, too, wore a white coat.
The moment Qiao Sang saw the bug-type familiar in the white coat, he was momentarily stunned. He hadn't expected the school doctor's familiar to be a Charger Bug...
For those who had visited the Hidden Realm or had done extensive research on it, this familiar was not unfamiliar.
Charger Bug, a bug-type familiar, is a very unique type among the familiars of the Yuhua Region.
It's not that it's particularly rare; rather, its trait is memorable, and the fact that it cannot evolve makes it a unique existence.
Charger Bug has the charging trait, allowing it to store a large amount of energy and transfer it to other familiars.
Most people heading to the Hidden Realm would form teams with Beastmasters who have healing skill familiars.
Beastmasters with Charger Bugs are highly sought after for teaming up, as the Charger Bug can act as an automatic energy recovery solution.
Although the demand for Charger Bugs is high, generally, Beastmasters who aim for some achievement in this field don't bond with them, primarily because Charger Bugs cannot evolve.
"Come over", the school doctor beckoned to the Treasure Seeker.
"Xun~"
The Treasure Seeker, curious, stared at the Charger Bug in the white coat and floated over.
This was the first time it had seen a familiar wearing clothes outside of TV...
"Go ahead", the school doctor nodded at the Charger Bug.
"Charge."
The Charger Bug nodded and then jumped forcefully at the Treasure Seeker.
"Xunxun!"
The Treasure Seeker was startled and instinctively dodged to the side.
"Bang!"
The Charger Bug fell to the ground.
School Doctor: "……"
"I'm sorry, I should have explained it to it first", Qiao Sang scratched his head and said.
"……It's fine, most familiars would dodge if they're not prepared for a jump like that", the school doctor understood.
He couldn't help but understand! The whole school was watching!
"Treasure Seeker, don't dodge, it's a doctor. It's here to replenish your energy", Qiao Sang instructed the Treasure Seeker.
Doctor?!
The Charger Bug, just getting up, perked up and quickly dusted off its white coat, instantly forgetting the pain.
"Xun……"
The Treasure Seeker scratched its head awkwardly.
It's a doctor...
After the explanation, the Treasure Seeker took the initiative to pick up the Charger Bug with its claws and placed it on its head.
"Xunxun!"
Just charge!
The Charger Bug was momentarily stunned but quickly resumed its duty.
"Charge!"
The Charger Bug's body emitted a strong blue light, and the Treasure Seeker, who was in close contact with it, was enveloped in the blue light as well.
Seeing the blue light on the field, the upperclassmen collectively let out a sigh of relief.
"There's no way she would stop after just one win."
"You didn't say that earlier."
"What did I say? I forgot."
"……"
"Let me correct that, she has already won 18 matches. Don't underestimate freshmen."
"……"
After replenishing its energy, the Treasure Seeker returned to the battle area.
As the match began, Xia Chengqing snapped her fingers, and Short-Ear immediately dug a burrow and dove in.
Clearly, the snap was the signal to dig.
Qiao Sang observed the junior year senior's finger snap and Short-Ear's coordination, deep in thought.
It has to be said that this move gave her a great deal of inspiration.
Imagine, in the future, when she faces off against someone in a major competition.
The opponent would shout, "Burrow!"
And she would calmly smile, snap her fingers, and Mars Rain would rain down from the sky.
The momentum! The scene!
Just thinking about it gets her excited.
Not bad, it seems this move can be put to good use. She should go back and agree on this signal with Fangy...
"Treasure Seeker, be aware of your surroundings." Even as these thoughts flashed through her mind, Qiao Sang didn't forget that she was currently in battle.
Burrow is an Intermediate Skill of Earth-type Beast Companions, also known as Tunneling. The familiar would first burrow into the ground and then suddenly burst out to attack the opponent. It has a high hit rate and attack power, often used as a finishing move by lower Intermediate Earth-type Beast Companions.
"Seek!"
Treasure Seeker nodded solemnly.
Just as it finished nodding, Short-Ear suddenly burst out of the ground, charging at it with full force.
"Seek!"
Treasure Seeker was taken aback and quickly used Teleport to dodge.
Its eyes then quickly turned blue as it glanced at Short-Ear, who was still in mid-air.
Short-Ear froze in mid-air.
The next second, the scene of a 360-degree spin appeared again.
"Short-Ear!!!"
Short-Ear's scream echoed through the hall.
The entire audience was silent.
If the previous dozen battles, where Treasure Seeker used Teleport while invisible, didn't make them think of Psychic-type, the fact that Treasure Seeker just used Teleport and Psychic Power in full view left them stunned.
Who would have thought that a Ghost-type and a Psychic-type familiar would appear together!
"…I didn't expect a Ghost-type to have a move like this. It looks a lot like Teleport."
"Yeah…"
"And that Shadow Control, it seems to work without shadows…"
"Yeah, and its eyes turn blue."
"…"
On the side, Principal Wang Weidou watched Treasure Seeker with a dazed expression, muttering to himself, "Psychic Type… Psychic… Psychic Type…"
Liu Yao turned her head away, not wanting to see his foolish face.
…
"Short-Ear has lost its fighting ability. Qiao Sang wins!"
Although most people had a premonition that Xia Chengqing would lose after seeing the last scene, they still found it hard to believe when the result was announced.
Why couldn't the Intermediate Beast Short-Ear break free from the Beginner Beast Treasure Seeker's control?
It was just too absurd!
From both energy and physical strength, it didn't make sense, unless…
The skill proficiency was incredibly high.
"Guys, do you think Treasure Seeker's Shadow Control proficiency is at what level?"
"Treasure Seeker learning Shadow Control is already insane. You're asking about proficiency?"
"Not the earlier Shadow Control, but the one where its eyes turn blue."
"…That move? I'm not sure, but being able to control a familiar of a higher level likely means it's at the mastery level."
Despite Treasure Seeker's shocking performance, the allure of joining the School Team was too great, and the older students continued to rush up, one after another, to challenge Qiao Sang.
Unlike battles with freshmen, Treasure Seeker needed to replenish its energy after each fight with an older student.
After all, controlling an Intermediate Beast consumes much more energy than controlling a Beginner Beast.
After 49 consecutive battles, a boy about 1.85 meters tall, with a sharp jawline and black hair covering half of his forehead, walked up with his hands in his pockets.
"Junior Year (9) class, Xue Chuhua."
