The train is speeding on the track, and the scenery is passing by, as if time and space have been condensed.

Modern technology has made the vast continent smaller.

Although the ticket price is still expensive and not as close to the people as Philio's previous life, it is still completely affordable for most people.

In the window seat, Filio held the little dream monster and the little Eevee as usual, sometimes looking into the distance, sometimes closing his eyes to rest.

Directly opposite him was a young couple who looked to be in their early thirties, and on the right, near the aisle, was a young man in his twenties dressed as a traveler.

Except for the time he went with his parents when he was young and his memory was vague, this was Filio's first time to visit Miare. He had some expectations for this art city, but after all, he had seen it in his previous life.

It’s not that big of a deal to live in the world.

On the contrary, it was the first time for Eevee and Dream Demon to travel such a long distance. They looked a little reserved. One was lying on top of his head and the other was huddled in his arms, both of them were small balls.

These two little guys, even the little Dream Demon who already seems very lively and outgoing, actually have a side that is not confident, not to mention Ibrahimovic who has experienced abandonment and serious injury.

Past experiences have left a lot of psychological shadow on them, which may not show up much on weekdays, but once they are separated from the familiar environment, the sediment may appear, making them fall into some kind of fear or tension.

Such psychological shadow cannot be eliminated directly. It can only gradually fade away with growth and long time.

"Your two Pokémon seem a little nervous and scared?"

The wife of the young couple asked, and she took out some snacks and wanted to pass them to Filio.

"Well, yes, this is their first long-distance trip, so they are a little nervous, but it's okay."

Waving his hands and declining the other party's kindness with a smile, Filio also hugged the little dream monster curled up above his head, and became a companion with little Eevee.

"Marge..."

The usually carefree Little Dream Demon now seems a little listless, and she and Little Eevee are close together, hugging each other for warmth.

"It's okay, little Dream Demon, this is not the same boat as before, and I'm right by your side."

Caressing the dream monster's head, Philio said softly.

"...Buyi!"

Little Eevee also came forward, his furry and warm body warming the dream monster's body.

The woman opposite seemed to want to say something else, but was gently stopped by her husband.

As a Pokémon researcher, he can see that these two Pokémon have more or less stories, which are not something outsiders should rush to pry into.

------------------

The distance from Salo to Miare is not too far, especially for high-speed trains traveling at hundreds of kilometers per hour.

But at ninety o'clock, the train pulled into the station, and the little dream demon who had been dejected just now became energetic again as soon as he returned to the open space, twisting around above Filio's head, looking left and right.

, seems very curious about everything.

Little Eevee is much more honest, but his mental state has also visibly improved.

Although the comings and goings of people around him and the countless emotions gave it a headache, it always felt infinitely safe as long as it was in Philio's arms.

It was a little tired in the tension, but now it was a little sleepy, and its eyelids started to fight.

------------------

"Filio, welcome to Miare!"

Outside the gate of the station, Kamal is seen with open arms and high spirits.

He and his son have not seen each other for more than a month, and he has been looking forward to this day for a long time. Today he even rushed early in the morning and came to the station entrance to wait.

"Machi! Machi~!"

Before Filio could react, the little dream demon flew out quickly and used the skillful combination skill [Face Hugger] on Kamal. It acted like a baby to him crazily and almost melted Kamal's heart.

.

"Okay, okay, I really didn't hurt you in vain, little dream demon! Come on! Hey!"

"Marge!"

After touching his forehead skillfully, the little dream demon flew back happily.

"Dad, I haven't seen you for a long time. Mom said two days ago that if you don't take a vacation, you will come here to settle the score." Holding Ibrahimovic, Filio strode forward and said half-jokingly. After that, he handed Ibrahimovic to him.

He walked over and said, "This is little Eevee. I've only seen it on a video before. This time I can see him in person. How about it? Isn't it very cute?"

"...Buyi!"

Ibrahimovic said hello in a sweet voice.

"It's indeed very cute. Come on, let me hold it for a while!" He took the little Eevee and kissed the little guy's forehead. Kamal smiled broadly, "Let's go. It's a rare trip. Let's go first."

Take a look at the school. Compared with when you were a child, the changes are quite big."

Philio nodded, then shook his head: "It's okay. Anyway, I basically don't remember what it was like when I was a child. Just treat it as my first time here."

"You kid! It's your dad's university after all, so give me some face..."

After giving his son a helpless look, Kamal turned around and walked towards his car.

------------------

Miare is the most prosperous city in the world, with a permanent population of more than 8 million. The density is not too high or too small. It has both the atmosphere of life and the atmosphere of literature and art. It is known as the "Pearl of Carlos".

Every day, countless tourists from various regions travel around the city, visit various art galleries, art galleries, participate in various art activities, and enjoy the world's top fashions.

, beauty services.

The University of Miami, standing in this beautiful city, also has a romantic atmosphere, creating a more unique academic atmosphere around the green square, providing tranquility from the bustle.

"Professor Kamal, good morning!"

"Hello Dr. Kamal!"

......

As soon as he entered the school gate and before he parked his car, there were many teachers and students who came up to say hello through the car windows along the way, and Kamal responded to them one by one with a smile.

"You are quite popular in school."

Filio sat in the passenger seat and joked with a playful expression.

"Marge!"

The little dream demon also looked impressed.

"Why do you look so surprised? Dad, of course I am very popular in school. Not only students at the university, but also people from Miare College often come to listen to my introduction to mythology."

Kamal raised his chin slightly and spoke with contentment, but only received slightly disgusted looks from Filio and Little Dream Demon.

"...Buyi~"

The one who really gives face must be the well-behaved little Ibrahimovic.

She let out a soft cry, which made Kamal very excited: "Look at how sensible and discerning little Ibrahimovic is. Look at you two. The older you get, the less lovable you are! From now on, I will love you little one."

Ibrahimovic."

......

......

"Come and take a look. This is exactly the same as when you first came here. The statues of the three gods of Carlos have been there for more than ten years. Special personnel come here every day to maintain them."

Within the main entrance of the school is a small square, with three statues standing in the center of the square. They look like living creatures, lifelike, and even have a bit of the intimidating majesty of legendary Pokémon.

"Well, I have an impression of this. Xerneas, the God of Life, is so beautiful that people will never tire of it."

Following his father, Philio sighed softly.

"Machi? Machi!"

After listening to Philio's words, the little dream demon was very unhappy. He blew up the number like a balloon and stood in front of Philio.

"...Buyi..."

Ibrahimovic was also a little aggrieved and grabbed Filio's arm with his little paws.

"Ah, of course, no matter how beautiful you are, it will definitely not be as good as my little dream monster and little Eevee. Isn't this a matter of course?"

Sensing the little emotions of his two companions, Philio's mind was spinning, and his words of praise were flowing like water, and he coaxed the little guys into happiness again.

Standing aside, Kamal smiled heartily.

My son, who has awakened his superpowers since then, only shows a bit of embarrassment on such occasions, with a bit of a young man's cuteness.

......

......

"This is the library. The collection of books in it must be much larger than that of your Salo Academy. It was rebuilt just a few years ago, isn't it impressive?"

"It's really good. Oh, speaking of this, I brought the books I borrowed last time. Please help me borrow some more before I leave. I've already made a list of books."

"...I mean, wouldn't you consider coming here to study in college?"

"Well... let's discuss this later, I haven't thought about it yet."

"Machi~"

......

......

"The scale of the campus battle battlefield is set up according to the main venue of the Miare Conference. All intramural competitions are played here. Some students from Miare College also train here. I hope you will meet again in the summer. I heard that there will be some in this session.

Some very nice little guys."

"Well, they are indeed very strong, and everyone has unique skills."

"...Marge!"

"Why do I think you are a bit perfunctory?"

"Where is it?"

"Marge?"

"...Buyi~"

At this time, the slow-tempered little Ibrahimovic caught up with the original question, and Kamal couldn't help laughing when he heard his soft voice.

......

......

"You must be interested in this. The breeding area is not just the campus breeding house. The entire breeding department must be studied and practiced here. Pokémon, tree fruits, and herbs from various regions can be seen, and the whole world should also be able to see them.

Only Yuhong University can beat it."

"I'm really interested in this. I've only seen many medicinal herbs and fruits from various places on the Internet or in books, but I've never used them myself."

"If you are willing to come, you should be able to let Selim be your teacher. He is very fond of you. By then, you can also choose any Pokémon in the breeding house."

"It's very attractive, but I still plan to think about it again. During this time, I feel that the effect of studying on improving my superpowers has begun to weaken, and I don't know why."

"That's it... That's indeed a bit troublesome. Why not go somewhere else for more walks? Maybe studying and contacting the real world are two different situations?"

After hearing what Filio said, Kamal also gave up most of his thoughts on persuading him to come to the University of Miami for further studies, and instead became concerned about his most important physical problem.

"It's hard to say. Let's wait until I'm about to graduate. At least after I get the intermediate cultivator qualification, I'll have the final say on what I choose."

"That's right, let's go. It's getting late. Let's have a meal first?"

"Okay, little Dream Demon, little Eevee, let me tell you, when I came here when I was a child, I didn't remember much else. I just remembered that the professor in the canteen here was very good at cooking. I don't know that after so many years, the chef has changed.

In a few years, will it still be that good?"

"Machi? Machi! Machi~!"

"...Buyi~"

Upon hearing this, the two little guys immediately cheered.

"Compared to that time, it should be better. The current head chef was specially recruited from Zhimi's restaurant by the principal. His skills are quite good. Let's go."

------------------

After walking around and eating, Kamal took Filio to the Institute of History and Mythology at the University of Miare, which he was proud of.

In the corridor, Kamal was a little emotional: "I still remember that you were very interested in these things when you were eleven or twelve years old. At that time, I thought you could inherit my mantle. Unfortunately, within a few years, your interest changed again.

Changed."

"You can't say that. I still like these ancient myths, but I don't have as much time to give them." Philio said, turning his head and looking at a rubbing of an ancient mural, "

This is the worship of the great gods in ancient Sinnoh, right?"

"Yes, but they are not the Xicui people, but have an earlier history, perhaps earlier than the ancient Sinnoh people. At that time, people saw at least a dozen different versions of the Sinnoh Great Lord."

A pleasant female voice came from a distance, and it was obviously not Kamal's voice.

Philio turned his head and happened to see the blond beauty walking out of the corner.

Dressed in black, she can't hide her tall, plump and curvy figure.

The brilliant blond hair hangs naturally down to her waist.

Under the ice-cold face, his eyes looked gentle and dignified, with a bit of curious exploration.

"Professor Kamal, long time no see. Is this Philio? I heard Cattleya and Wanlong mention you. This is the first time we met. I am Sirona. It seems that you are also interested in ancient mythology?"

After shaking hands with Kamal and saying hello, Sirona walked up to Filio, stretched out her hand with a smile, raised her head slightly, and looked at Filio, who was much taller than her.

"It's a very interesting thing to know a little bit about the truth of ancient times and the thoughts of ancient people. Nice to meet you, Champion Sirona. I just learned a lesson, thank you very much."

Philio said hello calmly and politely, and their hands separated as soon as they touched.

"With a little effort, ancient mythology is indeed a very interesting research object. If we have time in the future, I hope we can have more exchanges. Then, Professor Kamal and Filio, I will go to the research room first and see you in the afternoon."

"Okay, see you in the afternoon."

Nodding slightly, the two of them left.

"Dad, are you familiar with Champion Sirona? I haven't heard you say that before?"

Philio asked softly while continuing to move forward.

"She is a rising star in the field of mythology. How could I not know her? But I can't say that I am familiar with her. I have met her a few times during meetings. I can only say that she is a formidable young woman. She is very powerful and is passionate about mythological archeology. Maybe she can really promote this subject.

It has made great progress."

Kamal shook his head. He didn't care about Sirona's status as a champion. He just focused on the subject area he loved and was full of expectations for the rising star Sirona.

"She is here to discuss a mythological archeology project this time, but it won't be possible for a while. It may be next summer or autumn. I should also go there by then, in Tianguan Mountain. There is the one you just saw over there.

If the ancient ruins of Sinnoh are mined, there might be some new harvests, which is really curious."

"I see, that's good. Speaking of dad, do you still have to pay for this project by yourself? I guess mom is not far away from going crazy. Even if you don't have public funds to travel, you often have to pay for it out of your own pocket. You guys

Mythology is really a bit pathetic."

Philio subconsciously complained.

"There is no need to advance money this time, and the funds are still sufficient. The Sinnoh Alliance is funding it, and the equipment is of the highest quality. We are also going to help ourselves. We only need to provide technical support, okay? I will take your mother there by then.

Take a vacation and make up for an extra-long honeymoon."

Kamal was also used to it, his face was calm, and he was slightly proud of mentioning this research.

"Huh? It's okay, I'm a genius!"

"Marge!"

Philio raised his hand, and the little dream demon also joined in the fun.

"...Buyi!"

Then, it’s Ibrahimovic who slows down again.

The little guy who always couldn't keep up was a little annoyed and gently patted Filio's arm.

"Hahaha! You little guys..." Kamal smiled and shook his head, "Let's not talk about this anymore. I have a class in the afternoon. Do you want to come to it? Introduction to Mythology. You can give me a compliment.

How about the field?"

"Well..."

Philio began to think.

"Hey! Give me some face! You brat!"

Kamal pretended to be dissatisfied as he rubbed Filio's hair while laughing and cursing.

------------------

To the east of the University of Miami campus, close to the city's main road, is the teaching building for some cultural majors.

On weekdays, the flow of people here is not very large.

After all, in a world dominated by Pokémon-related professions, other professions are not mainstream, but just supplementary.

However, under this general background, there are a few courses that are exceptions.

Kamal's "Introduction to Mythology" is one of them.

Not only students from various majors at the school will come to audit, but many top students in the senior class at Miami College, not far from the University of Miami, will also come here to study in advance and experience college life in advance.

Philio entered the classroom quite early and found that only the last two rows of seats were available.

Having only two rows of seats left in a course is a huge compliment, especially when the remaining seats are in the last row.

Secretly sighing at his father's popularity in school, Filio walked to the window seat in the last row and sat down quietly.

A little bit of sunlight shines through the gaps in the curtains, making people feel a little drowsy.

The little dream monster lying on the head and the little Eevee lying on the table were breathing evenly, and Filio also began to close his eyes and rest.

Just when he seemed to be sleeping, a familiar voice sounded:

"This classmate, can I sit in the seat next to you... eh? It turns out to be Philio. You are also here to attend Professor Kamal's class. Do you mind being my deskmate for once?"
Chapter completed!
