[History Classroom]
In the room where the exam was taking place, a sharp alarm suddenly rang out.
[Error detected in the question bank. Reconfiguring the question bank. The exam is temporarily suspended. All candidates, remove your hands from the computers. Further operation is prohibited, further operation is prohibited.]
The moment the announcement sounded, a large red X appeared on the computers in front of Peony and Axel.
On the podium, Briar's expression changed, but she quickly returned to normal.
As expected… trying to avoid Metagross's surveillance within the exam system was simply impossible. Luckily, she had come along this time.
"Don't be nervous, you two. It's probably just a system issue. Just wait a moment."
A professional, standard smile appeared on Briar's face as she pushed her wheelchair down from the podium, stopping beside Axel and giving him a gentle wink.
'Don't worry, I've got this.'
As an external affairs teacher for both Blueberry Academy and Naranja Academy, what Briar was most familiar with was the customs and history of different regions.
Especially when it came to Paldea's history, her understanding was almost on par with Professor Raifort from Naranja Academy.
Even without Peony swapping the questions, Briar was confident she could help Axel get a perfect score.
But unexpectedly, Axel instead gave Briar a reassuring smile.
"No need to be so tense. Your body hasn't recovered yet. Just rest properly."
"Huh?", Briar became puzzled, not understanding why Axel was so calm.
Peony had clearly said that Axel placed great importance on this exam and absolutely couldn't afford to fail.
Peony, standing to the side, was also stunned.
Right now, she was even more nervous than Briar.
She had guaranteed to Geeta that she would definitely make sure Axel passed this exam.
And Axel was also the one who had solved Naranja Academy's bullying problem, she absolutely wouldn't allow her benefactor to stumble right in front of her.
"Damn it… that Metagross usually loves slacking off, so why is it suddenly serious at a critical moment?"
Peony couldn't help clenching her fists, a crease forming on her smooth forehead.
Suddenly, she took a deep breath, pulled out her Rotom from her pocket, and fixed her gaze on the surveillance camera used for proctoring.
Decision made!
Even if she got caught cheating by the cameras and ended up punished by the school, she would make sure Axel passed this exam.
"Rotom, help me contact Teacher Michael. I want to talk to him!"
Peony had another identity unknown to most, she was the daughter of the previous Paldea League chairman.
Because of this, she knew Geeta and had the power to form Team Star to fight against bullying students.
But that same identity also shackled her actions, preventing her from doing certain things openly, forcing her to stay behind the scenes and coordinate everything.
But today, she felt she couldn't hide anymore.
She planned to contact Metagross's trainer and have him grant permission, she would just say she needed to cheat.
Doing this might result in punishment from the school, and might even give some teachers who already disliked her a chance to attack Team Star.
But, Peony had made up her mind.
No matter what, she would make sure Axel passed this exam.
"You really don't need to go this far," Seeing the two girls' actions, Axel couldn't help but feel speechless.
Briar he could understand. After all, she was his woman and would become the principal of the Ultra Beast school in the future, so there was no need to consider Paldea's rules.
But Peony… she still had to live here for a long time.
"That Metagross you're talking about definitely won't cause trouble. Just proceed as normal."
Axel's tone carried unquestionable confidence, intending to calm the two of them down first.
"I already sent a Pokémon to have a talk with Metagross. It's just going through the back door a bit, it shouldn't refuse."
"Didn't you say Metagross is the chief examiner? With its authority, adjusting the difficulty of the questions should be easy, right?"
"We're not even cheating, so what are we afraid of?"
As he spoke, Axel pointed at the Rotom phone Peony had already connected, "If you don't believe me, ask yourself."
Briar and Peony turned in unison, their gazes fixed on the projection in front of the Rotom.
The next moment, they saw a scene full of contrast.
Teacher Michael, who was extremely powerful, held a high position in the school, and owned a Metagross, was actually trembling in the server room.
His eyes kept darting behind the Rotom, his pupils unfocused, as if he had seen some terrifying monster.
"H-help… hurry and find the principal, hurry and find Geeta!"
Peony blinked in confusion, "Teacher Michael, what's wrong? Did members of the Explorers team invade the school? Even your Metagross can't beat them?"
"What Explorers team? I don't know what that is."
Michael looked like he was in agony. What even was this Explorers team?
How did Groudon from Hoenn's legends get dragged into this.
"All I know right now is that Metagross isn't even a match for that monster… it's just too strong."
Just earlier, he had been about to deal with the cheating incident with Metagross, but before he could do anything, a massive claw suddenly reached out.
The moment he saw those dark golden pupils, Michael froze on the spot, the legendary Groudon.
Right now, Michael's brain felt like it was about to overload, yet he still couldn't come up with any way to escape from Groudon.
Have Metagross hypnotize Groudon?
Don't joke around. This wasn't some stat-based game.
What kind of sane person could hypnotize a head almost as big as the school building?
Digging underground? Even less possible.
As a Metagross trainer, Michael had extensive knowledge. He knew very well that Groudon was the progenitor of Ground-type Pokémon.
He was now painfully aware that the chances of him and Metagross escaping from Groudon were practically zero!
Fortunately, Peony called at just the right time. As long as he could spread the news of Groudon's appearance and its purpose, then even if he and Metagross died, it would be worth it.
Of course, not dying would be even better…
Huh?
Halfway through his thoughts, Michael suddenly froze.
What exactly was Groudon's purpose in coming here?
After appearing, it hadn't shown any strong destructive intent, and even when facing Metagross's resistance, it hadn't done anything excessive.
This left Michael completely baffled. If he didn't even know Groudon's purpose, wouldn't he and Metagross just die for nothing?
Thinking this, Michael couldn't help but look at Groudon and blurt out a question.
"What is your purpose in coming here?"
Groudon blinked its scorching eyes, brighter than a small sun and larger than a house, then suddenly showed a proud expression.
["I came here this time to tell you that my divine master is taking an exam, so you'd better behave yourselves."]
["If my divine master fails the exam, then you must pay…"]
["Pay…"]
Halfway through speaking, Groudon's telepathic voice paused for a moment, then it suddenly showed a look of realization.
["Right, Spectrier said this is called paying mental damage compensation!"]
Michael and the Metagross in Groudon's claw exchanged a glance, both completely dumbfounded.
What kind of person brings Groudon along to take an exam?
'Just give me the student ID, I'll change a 100-point test into 1000 points for you, okay?'
