Chapter 74 Behind conceit is inferiority (3740, first order please!)

"It's nothing, I just heard that you, Sara, have gathered some talented players after a long time. I wanted to come and show them to my students, and see how you are doing lately. Judging from your voice, you are still the same as before."

Meeting old classmates and being competitors in the same field, Latoni made no secret of her competitive spirit.

"Then you should have seen it before? Didn't our little Philio fight against several of your students in Miare?"

Thornton sneered and fought back with a gun and a stick. Backed by Philio's record that day, today's Teacher Thornton is the attacking Teacher Thornton.

A dark face is as red as ever.

If this teacher Latoni also has a characteristic, it must be a sense of oppression, just like the intimidation of Teacher Thornton.

Anyway, there is no hostility between these two old classmates, it is just a simple quarrel between old friends.

It’s hard to say whether it’s a good thing or a bad thing for someone who is quite a grown-up person to still be so childish.

Philio had no interest in such a barren conversation, but secretly complained with great interest.

"Hey!"

Seeing that this guy didn't mean anything good, Kerni secretly used her strength and stabbed Filio lightly in the waist.

"Ouch! Gherkin!"

The momentary stimulation made him tremble all over, grinning, and was looked at by several people from the Miare Academy opposite, especially Walter, who had been watching with cold eyes.

Several people who had played against each other or at least met at the Prism Cup that day all responded with kind and teasing smiles when they saw this scene.

After the fierce battle that day, several people at Miare Academy were thinking about how to defeat Filio, especially the dream demon who defeated him upright. However, they did not think much about other aspects. Instead, they were interested in Filio.

Ao's strength is very recognized.

The friendship or goodwill between students is still simple and pure.

But Walter, who has been traveling for many years, is different.

Seeing that the gym leader whom he respected so much was so close to Philio, who had always been proud of his talent and strength, he felt a little unfair in his heart, and his eyes towards Philio were a little more subtle and complicated.<

/p>

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

"The championship is not the Prism Cup anymore. 3 vs. 3 is already a bit of a formal battle. Of course, the battle on that day cannot be counted."

Dare to come forward to start a quarrel with Thornton, of course Latoni had already thought of her words, and without blushing, she wanted to reveal what happened two months ago.

"How do you know that your students can stop us in a regular battle? These little guys are indeed good, but my students are not bad at all. At least so far, you can't say that they

Defeated Philio. As for the rest, let’s see the real results on the field, right?”

Thornton held his head high and his back straight. Not only Filio, but Antoine and Abe also gave him great support.

Perhaps they are inferior to foreign aid Walter and chief Sean, but in terms of strength, the other main players, including Doris, may not be able to beat his two protégés with solid foundations.
p>

Such a trio will undoubtedly be the biggest obstacle for Miare College to defend its title this year, especially in the team competition.

This is also the main reason why Latoni chose to come here.

Rather than a momentary battle of words and will, she valued whether she could deceive Thornton into getting some information about the three Philios, including the four students who were hiding behind but were equally strong.

For the Miare Academy, the intelligence of several people is still the version that was several months ago, but for a young trainer, these few months can often bring about earth-shaking changes, so she cannot be cautious.

It's a pity that although Teacher Thornton doesn't look very smart, he is very subtle. He can clearly see Latoni's little thoughts and only takes advantage of her verbally without revealing the specific details.<

/p>

There was a heated exchange of words. Although the spectators outside had no idea what the two were talking about, the strong smell of gunpowder was undeniable.

"Fighting" is usually something that makes the masses feel happier than "gkd".

The audience, who were not too concerned about the excitement, immediately started cheering.

What they wanted to see appeared.

As people watching the game, they just hope that the smell of gunpowder is as strong as possible.

A battle with the smell of gunpowder is the real battle.

......

......

The round of bickering that each enjoyed was over. Seeing that no one could get any useful information, the two of them paid their dues and retreated. Under the strange eyes of the students, they led the team to leave.

Before leaving, Filio and Sean looked at each other, smiled and nodded.

Putting aside the fact that they were about to compete together, he felt that these students from Miare College were quite interesting and had good abilities, so it was just right for them to train Ibrahimovic and Big Mouth Baby.

"Hey, your name is Philio, right? Alola! I'm Sha Sha Jin. If you meet me in the game, please give me some advice!"

When passing the team of Yaoxiang College, the enthusiastic and generous little fat Sha Shajin waved and said hello.

From his teammates and teachers, he roughly knew about Philio's situation.

He was very interested in this opponent who was not in his memory and was probably very strong.

"Alola! Shashajin, please give me some advice!"

Although he didn't live in the country, he still followed the customs. Filio used the greeting method from the Alola region to say hello to the little fat man he met for the first time. The two parties had a chance to get to know each other.

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

Philio himself didn't pay much attention to this battle.

Although in terms of paper strength, these high-achieving students from various schools or specially trained foreign aids who have traveled may be similar to me, or even stronger than me, in terms of training level and tactical literacy, the gap is actually quite obvious.

If he really wanted to talk about the good players that interested him, the one he had just greeted was Sha Shajin. The one who was a little hostile for some reason was also Walter, whom he had seen on TV before.

However, this is how he sees it, but Antoine and Abe are not necessarily the same.

As soon as he walked far away, the two people who had been standing on both sides of Thornton to support him ruthlessly abandoned him and ran to Philio's side.

Jaynes and others naturally followed Philio's lead.

Coupled with the addition of Kerni, the gym leader who was respected and loved by the Salo people even though she was very young, the crowd that gathered in a small group became happy for a while.

"I looked at the groupings. If I can advance to the top 16, I will probably have to play against Hideki Kazama from Miare. It's uncomfortable..."

Antoine sighed. As a grass-type expert, it would be really difficult for him to pass Hideki Kazama's level.

If their strengths are similar, attribute restraint is very important.

"I'm in a worse situation than you. Let alone 16 to 8, I did some calculations. If nothing happens, if I am 32 to 16, I will have to beat the chief Mi Lei of Aromatherapy Academy, and then I will have to undergo a special training.

I feel uncomfortable at home, okay?"

Abe was also dejected. For them, the grouping was indeed not very friendly.

"Filio, aren't you worried? From what I saw in your grouping, the first round was relatively easy. Although I'm not completely sure, there's a high probability that I'll beat Coty from Yingxue Academy in the second round, and Mia in the third round.

Doris from Lei Academy, and then Nanako, the foreign aid from Biyi. What an unlucky grouping!"

Ever since Philio saved the lives of a group of people, Jaynes has become Philio's fanboy. As soon as he took the grouping list, he checked the ranking and background information. Biffy

Leo still has many treasures.

As soon as he saw Philio's grouping, he became indignant.

"It's okay. It's the same for anyone. It's just a matter of doing it sooner or later. But Jaynes, you and Dorotea should pay attention. After all, your Rose Leiduo and Fiery Arrow Eagle haven't completed the breakthrough and qualitative transformation. If the opponent is like

Antoine, like Abe, quickly develops a strong second and third Pokémon, which makes him prone to being passive, so he must be cautious."

Not taking his grouping seriously, Filio instead pointed out the other two students.

The two of them are not outstanding in the championship, but this does not mean that they can be dealt with casually.

Being able to go one more round is a great thing for their growth.

Even if you don't take your resume into account, just this kind of experience is a valuable asset.

Standing in the huge battlefield and enjoying the warm cheers from the audience from all over Carlos and other regions, for the specific parties involved, it is a concentrated portrayal of youth, dreams and honor.

There is only one final winner, but there is more than one individual or group with honor.

Seeing Filio chatting with his classmates, Korni smiled gently, pulled away slightly, and looked at his side face.

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

Salo City, Nazi Villa.

"Miss Nazi, do you want to terminate your vacation and return to Miare early? How do you plan to arrange the rest of the trip?"

The manager who originally stayed in Miare to prepare for the concert, after receiving instructions from Nazi, immediately came to Sarao without stopping and inquired diligently.

Because of the combination of Nazi's touching dance and somehow more vitality of song and dance, Carlos's tour was more than one level better than expected. He was overjoyed, and his attention to Nazi was also raised to a higher level. It can be said that everything he asked for was answered.

.

Nazi is no longer the future superstar and potential stock that the company is cultivating, she is the "now" of the company's development.

"I'm going on vacation. I'm just going to Miare for a vacation. I'm going to watch the Carlos Youth Championship. Please help me book a ticket. Please help me."

Without Filio in front of her, Miss Nazi returned to her usual cold style, polite and distant in every word and deed.

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

After seeing the grouping, the official designated hotel where Salo Academy stayed.

"Filio? Where's Philio?"

Thornton, who originally wanted to hold a meeting to discuss the group situation and encourage the students, suddenly discovered that Philio, who was the focus of the crowd not long ago, was missing again.

Lobe and Musa searched around but found nothing.

Finally, in the conference room, they learned what was going on from the mouths of the students who were already seated and waiting.

"Teacher Thornton, Philio, Pogaman, and Miss Kearney went out together. They seemed to be looking for dessert. They said they would train together after they were done and come back in the evening."

Antoine said this in front of the dark-faced Thornton.

......

......

At the same time, it’s not far outside the hotel.

"Well... you are not that one, you are the one from Miare College... I'm sorry, I forgot the name. What do you mean by stopping us when you come here?"

Looking at Walter who was standing in front of him, who seemed to be a bit unkind, Filio frowned slightly, took a step diagonally, blocked in front of Korni, and asked.

"I am Walter, Walter Filio from Miare College. I only have one thing to say when I come here."

Walter is slightly taller than Filio, probably nearly 1.9 meters tall. He is tall and straight, with thick and strong arms. His skin is also somewhat tanned from years of exposure to wind and sun. He is obviously a man who has been in the industry for many years.

A traveler should at least have quite a lot of travel experience.

Seeing Filio and Korni, who was smiling half-heartedly behind him, and feeling their disapproval of him, the arrogant Walter introduced himself to his family with a cold face.

"Please tell me, the owner of Kerni and I have some matters to attend to, so we may not be able to stay with you for a long time."

Philio nodded, with a hint of rejection in his politeness. When they met for the first time, he didn't have a good impression of the person in front of him.

They obviously didn't know each other, but they had inexplicable hostility and arrogance. Even if Filio himself had a good temper, he still had some unknown anger.

"It doesn't matter, it's just a matter of a few words anyway. You defeated Sean and the others before, and they also attach great importance to you, so I am also a little interested. However, even if you are lucky enough to make it to the finals and meet me, I will let you

Look, what is true strength and genius? The hothouse flowers in the academy will not be my opponent. Just like the owner of Kerni Hall is not from school."

After speaking, Walter took a deep look at Korni and turned to leave.

The purpose of his coming here was not to get to know Philio, but to provoke and prove.

"Wait a minute. Wo... Wo what's going on? Anyway, it's not polite for that big man to just leave after talking to himself."

After walking a few steps, Philio's calm voice came from behind.

Without any emotional fluctuations, Walter felt a sense of crisis out of thin air.

Subconsciously, I turned around and met Philio's eyes.

Although he is clearly stronger on paper, he is a bit vague, and even has a hint of timidity in the corner of his heart that he does not want to admit.

They were a pair of eyes like abyss, which seemed to contain countless secrets, which made him feel dangerous and difficult to look away.

Invisible superpowers are spreading all around you.

Although it had no direct power, it made his hair stand on end, as if the little animal had seen some kind of natural enemy.

"Then what else do you want to say?"

Although he was unsure, he still held up his position and looked condescendingly at Philio with a tough tone.

"I just want to say that it sounds a bit stupid to use the self-proclaimed expression of 'genius'. By the way, beating you is not something worth showing off to me. Let me give you a word, behind the conceitedness, in fact

It's because you have low self-esteem. If you only have this level and caliber, I will be bored."

There was a hint of disappointment and boredom in Philio's originally calm eyes.

For such a fierce opponent, perhaps, such a person is not considered an opponent, and Philio really has no interest.

As soon as he said this, he took Korni's hand, arrived first, and left Walter's side first.

If he was just fighting for words, he could have said countless more hurtful things.

For example, Xiaoyou, who is obviously younger than him but has already achieved the semi-finals of the conference (although she has a group advantage).

For example, Kerni, who is the same age but much stronger than him.

Another example is when he personally defeated or even killed multiple opponents with similar strength to him in the wild.

Not to mention Sari, who was revenged by the big mouth boy.

However, this is meaningless. Philio is not willing to waste time with this kind of person, nor is he willing to reveal his own experience for this.

Because this is very cheap.

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

The two figures' backs slowly disappeared from Walter's sight.

It wasn't until Philio could no longer be seen that the superpowers and an unspeakable sense of crisis lingering around his body completely dissipated.

"Huh..."

Walter, who was originally aggressive and domineering, let out a sigh of relief at this moment.

In Philio's eyes, he seemed to see himself with his shell completely peeled off, "naked".

"Behind the arrogance...is it inferiority..."

Silently chewing on Filio's parting words, Walter's eyes flashed with bitterness.

For a special trainer, he can be said to be quite strong, but that's just it.

The honor of being a special trainer may have become a shackles for me now.

Especially after meeting the trainer named Xiaoyou, who was several years younger than me.

The title of "genius" is the weapon he relies on to protect himself and the shield he uses to resist the attention of the outside world.

He repeatedly repeated in his mind that he was a "real genius", but deep down in his heart he could not truly agree with this view.

Amidst the contradictions, this young man who had been away from home for many years gradually became twisted and entangled, as if he had turned into a hedgehog, pointing its spikes toward the outside world.

For quite a long time, no one knew where he went, what he did, or what he thought.

Even the students at Miare College only knew that he wanted to provoke Filio, and then he didn't return for a long time.

It wasn't until the evening that he returned to the Miare Academy's residence, the luxury hotel closest to the Miare Arena, in a state of despair, and met Latoni, who had been waiting for him in the lobby.

No one knows what they talked about in Latoni's room that night.

But early the next morning, when Sean and others saw him, everything changed subtly.

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

"Filio, were you a little angry just now? It's not worth being angry with someone like that. You came out with me to play, oh no, you're here to inspect Miare's desserts and training, so you should be happy!"

Mixing among the tourists, Korni took Filio's hand without any scruples.

Some time has passed, and Philio has fully recovered to his playing state. Everything just happened was just an insignificant episode.

But thinking about Philio protecting her without hesitation, Kerni was still a little happy and sweet, and said with a smile.

"Are you angry? I can't talk about it. I just think that the system of specially approved trainers may not be so suitable, at least for some people. It doesn't matter. My biggest official duty today is to accompany our Miss Korni, and...

There is our little Bogaman."

Thinking of Walter and his lies, Filio didn't care much, he just thought of something else.

Before becoming a trainer, you should first become a mentally sound and determined person.

Otherwise, it is easy to have no strength, or be a tree without roots, or it may get mixed up with evil organizations.

Many special trainers are still too young.

He shook his head and cleared these irrelevant things from his mind. He still wanted to eat dessert with Korni, which was a big deal.

"Bojia!"
