“The practical exam will vary based on the strength of the pet.”

“For example, my Thunder Mink’s strength is at Fresh Level X, and its racial level is Superior. So, in the first round, I fought against a lower-level Intermediate Beast: the Blacknet Buffalo.”

“After defeating this beast, the next battle is against two Blacknet Buffaloes. Each victory allows a ten-minute rest, and the number of opponents increases accordingly, doubling the difficulty.”

“Despite having a type advantage, I still failed in the fourth round test. Facing continuous attacks from four high-level beasts, my initial pet, the Windstorm Tiger, couldn’t even defeat one of them.”

At this point, a faint look of regret appeared on Avery Nelly’s delicate cheeks.

Even now, recalling her past examination, she still felt unwilling to accept it. Was such a ridiculous test really passable for students?

Upon hearing this, David Jones was somewhat surprised and thought, “It’s reasonable to fight higher-leveled opponents, as low-level Trainers who can’t win against stronger enemies are not considered geniuses. But adding continuous battles to the mix seems a bit excessive!”

He frowned slightly, calming the shock in his heart, and continued to ask Avery Nelly, “How many rounds are there in this test?”

“There’s no set number of rounds. I only made it to the fourth round. Based on my guess, to be accepted into the Five Greats, you’d need to pass at least the fourth round!”

A bitter smile appeared on Avery Nelly’s lips.

She added, “According to the exam proctor’s hint, there’s no limit to the battle test. The more rounds you pass, the higher the evaluation the school will give you.”

“During the exam, you only need to choose a university you like for testing. No matter which university you take the Trainer exam at, your exam results will be synchronized with the admissions databases of all universities.”

“Unfortunately, with my results from passing the third round, I could barely meet the admission standard of Thundurus Academy.”

“Maybe you can make it. It has been many years since a Trainer from Waterland City was accepted into the Five Greats!”

Avery Nelly’s gaze was locked on him, her clear eyes filled with anticipation.

“Uh… I’ll do my best.” David Jones was slightly stunned, then turned his head away to avoid Avery Nelly’s gaze.

The intense attention from Avery Nelly made him feel somewhat overwhelmed. As a slow-to-warm-up person, David wasn’t good at communicating with people who had an outgoing personality like Avery Nelly.

“Interesting; he’s so different from his hot-blooded performance in battle, it’s like two different personalities.”

As Avery Nelly secretly pondered, she watched David’s sudden restraint and covered her smiling lips with the back of her hand, seemingly finding some amusement.

“Hello, your Thunder Mink has fully recovered.”

A voice suddenly rang out, interrupting Avery Nelly’s thoughts of teasing David.

The Medical Practitioner handed the pet in her hands to Avery Nelly.

“Thank you.”

After accepting the Thunder Mink, Avery Nelly’s cheeks became flushed, and she excitedly challenged David, “Since we still have some time, let’s continue our battle!”

“Alright.”

David Jones agreed with a smile, as the straightforward and sexy female Trainer in front of him was an excellent opponent he rarely encountered.

A moment later, another battle between their pets began.bender

Although Waterland City was only a small Level III city in the Flowery Kingdom, the Trainer culture was still prevalent in its streets.

As David Jones walked along the bustling streets, he occasionally saw many Trainers playing with their pets.

After the battle, Avery Nelly, who learned that the Coldjade Snake had a Level III Confusion skill, specifically introduced him to a Gym that taught pets Psychic Calm Mind.

David Jones knew that excellent pet Calm Minds could deeply develop the potential of Psychic-type pets, but due to his financial constraints, he had no intention of buying them in the pet marketplace.

After all, low-level Meditation techniques had very low efficiency; his pet didn’t need them, and their effects wouldn’t be better than Rainbow training in the Confusion skill directly.

High-level pet Calm Mind techniques started at tens of millions of Star coins, and they weren’t even guaranteed to be available, considered secret techniques for many Trainers.

With the high prices and limited availability of high-level Calm Minds, David gave up on the idea of having Rainbow learn it.

There were other options, like focusing on Ice-type skills for Rainbow, and not necessarily having to focus only on Psychic-type.

However, when he heard that Avery Nelly recommended the Starlight Gym for free high-level Calm Mind teachings, David immediately became interested.

Whether the news was true or false, he had to check out the Gym.

Following the map on his phone, David Jones walked through several bustling streets.

“The Starlight Gym should be here, but why can’t I see it?”

He stood in place, scanning the surrounding buildings, and muttered.

After slowly circling around the area, he finally found a somewhat dilapidated Gym.

This Gym’s architecture was quite unique, with the plaque hanging above the door slightly faded. The two points above the word “light” in “Starlight Gym” on the plaque had disappeared.

David Jones hesitated when looking at the rundown Gym in the distance. He then took out his phone, snapped a photo, and sent it to Avery Nelly.

He then asked, “Is this the Starlight Gym you mentioned?”

A light buzzing followed.

David Jones glanced down at Avery Nelly’s Q_Chat reply.

“Yes, that’s the Gym run by my best friend’s family.”

“Alright.”

David Jones replied to Avery Nelly’s message. After looking at the Gym’s plaque a few more times, he walked straight through the entrance.

Upon entering the Gym, David Jones saw only a small figure with silver hair sitting in the wooden hall, her back to him.

Seemingly hearing David’s footsteps, the girl opened her eyes, cutting off her meditation, and stood up looking surprised at the source of the noise.

It had been a long time since her Gym had a visiting student.

Her startled gaze coincidentally met David Jones’s curious eyes.

At this moment, David’s gaze was full of astonishment as he looked at the silver-haired girl not far away, who stood up and turned around.

He was seeing such a beautiful girl, who looked like she had stepped straight out of a comic, for the first time in his life.

The girl before him was about twenty-eight years old, her silver hair cascading down like a waterfall to her slender waist.

Beneath her eye-catching silver hair was her delicate and captivating face. She had long, slender eyebrows, clear and bright pupils, tender and rosy lips, and delicate porcelain-white skin, which further accentuated her beauty.

She wore a clean and loose long-sleeve shirt, and although her figure was petite, she exuded an elegant yet aloof air.

“Hello, may I know who you are?”

A cold, gentle voice suddenly reached David Jones’s ears, as the girl asked in confusion..
