Pokémon Court-Chapter 492: Leading a Team?!

It was no surprise that the message Terrance received was to wait.

Graduates returning to the academy to make use of its resources was nothing new; there had been precedents. However, Teresa was merely a teacher and could not grant Terrance too much authority.

If Terrance wanted to look for the information on this material, Teresa would have to report it to higher-ups before he could be given special access.

That said, if Terrance had Master Victor put in a word, this wouldn't be a difficult matter at all.

In fact, even without Master Victor putting in a word, given Terrance's current status, the academy had no reason to reject such a minor request.

After all, it was just looking up some information... A trivial matter, hardly worth mentioning.

"Hmm... I'll go ahead and submit the application for you," Teresa said after thinking for a moment.

"Thank you so much." Terrance breathed a sigh of relief.

But before he could fully process the situation, Teresa suddenly slammed her hand on the desk, her eyes shining as she stared at him.

That look...

A chill ran down Terrance's spine. He had a bad feeling about this.

"Ahem." Teresa cleared her throat and said, "How about I just look up the information for you? Anyway, it'll only take a bit of my time."

"This way, you can have more time to focus on your own matters."

"Huh?" Terrance was puzzled. This wasn't like Teacher Teresa at all.

"But..." Teresa suddenly changed the topic.

"You'll have to do me a favor in return."

"Eh?!" Terrance asked cautiously, "What kind of favor?"

"A training journey mission!!" Teresa declared. "A group of students needs to go on a training journey soon, and I'm their assigned teacher. But honestly, I have no interest in this misdion... If possible, I'd rather not move at all."

"In other words, you'll take my place as the supervising teacher."

Teresa nodded firmly, looking at the dumbfounded Terrance.

"I'm supposed to be the supervising teacher?!" Terrance exclaimed. This sounded even more unreasonable than his request to look up information.

"But isn't this your mission, Teacher Teresa?" Terrance said with a bitter expression.

"Well, technically, yes. But all you really need to do is ensure their safety and serve as a witness. It's nothing too serious. With your strength, you're more than qualified for the job."

"Besides, these missions are usually rotated among teachers and aren't very formal. A lot of teachers who want to slack off just hand them over to capable students from the Graduation Class to handle on their behalf." Teresa explained.

"But..." Terrance remained unconvinced.

"Uh, Teacher Teresa, maybe I'll go visit Teacher Julian instead. I haven't seen him in a long time, and I kind of miss him." Terrance pointed to his heart.

"You used that excuse before. But I'll give you credit—you've improved. Last time, you pointed to the right side." Teresa mercilessly exposed him. "Relax, just take this trip for me, and I'll gather all the information you need."

"So... I don't really have a choice, do I?" Terrance held his forehead in frustration.

What mysterious force had led him to approach Teacher Teresa first? Wasn't this just throwing himself into the fire?

"Well, if you really find it difficult..."

"But don't worry. Using my teacher's privileges, I can modify the mission parameters to help find the information you need. It shouldn't take long to find it." Teresa said.

"Fine." Terrance stopped hesitating.

Teacher Teresa had helped him plenty of times before. Besides, this wasn't too troublesome...

"Then it's settled." Terrance nodded, only then remembering that teachers could issue credit-based assignments.

Still... why did it feel like he was just enabling Teresa's laziness?!

In the end, the responsibility of leading the mission fell on Terrance.

This training journey mission involved four students traveling to the Fight Area in Sinnoh to battle various Trainers and gain real combat experience.

When Terrance read the mission details, he couldn't help but feel exasperated.

Did a mission like this really need a supervising teacher?!

No wonder Teacher Teresa didn't want to go. When Terrance was ten years old, he had already dared to venture out alone with just his Beautifly. Meanwhile, the four students from Crown Academy were undoubtedly much stronger than he had been back then. Their journey to the Fight Area was unlikely to be dangerous.

The only real role of a supervising teacher was probably just to ensure that they didn't cheat.

But in the end, gaining real combat experience was for their own benefit. Terrance didn't see any point in cheating. Doing so just to earn credits would be completely missing the point.

"And I also need to give them proper guidance when they lose..." Terrance recalled Teacher Teresa's instructions and scratched his head. That was supposed to be a teacher's responsibility, but as a Gym Trainer, he realized he was actually capable of handling it. After all, one of a Gym Trainer's duties was to provide advice to challengers after their defeats.

"Oh well, the Fight Area in Sinnoh... Now that I think about it, I've never been there. I might as well treat this as a leisure trip." Terrance comforted himself. Once he completed this task for Teacher Teresa, he planned to leave Sinnoh.

At his current level, with Mega Altaria included, Terrance was even stronger than some non-specialized teachers.

Thinking about this, he felt emotional. Fate was truly unpredictable—four years ago, when he had just entered Crown Academy, he could never have imagined reaching his current level of achievement.

...

...

After Terrance left, Teacher Teresa picked up the fragment of the dream device that he had left behind, her expression filled with curiosity.

She genuinely had no idea what this thing was. But if she really wanted to figure it out, searching through the academy's database wouldn't be a small task.

"Well, there's no other choice."

Placing the fragment on the desk, Teresa took out her laptop and began creating a new mission.

"Searching Information, unlimited sign-ups."

"If students help out, the search will be much easier." After uploading the material's characteristics and images that Terrance had left behind, Teresa stretched lazily.

If she searched for the information alone, it could take an exhausting amount of time. But if enough students worked together, the process would be much faster.

On Terrance's second day back at Crown Academy—

He had no choice but to prepare for the trip, leading four students to the Fight Area. Before meeting up with them, he received a warm, encouraging smile from Teacher Teresa.

"Good luck! Just think of yourself as a teacher."

"Yeah, no thanks..." Terrance replied, speechless.

Still, with Teacher Teresa' help, he wouldn't have to waste time looking for the information himself. With that time freed up, taking a trip to the Fight Area seemed much more worthwhile. Plus, he'd probably get the results faster this way than if he searched alone.
