Chapter 73: Four New Partners

Luo Mu's words had just fallen when Ordega first wore an expression of disdain, deeming Luo Mu's intimidation far too crude, before his phone vibrated several times, as if a message had arrived.

Ordega suspiciously took out his phone, and when he clearly saw the somewhat glaring text on the screen, he was stunned.

How could this be?

He was merely a new teacher who hadn't even firmly established himself yet; why did he have the authority to disable his bank card?

Seeing Ordega's lost and haggard appearance, Luo Mu kindly spoke up to explain: "Your father spoke with me on the phone a few days ago; this authority was entrusted to me on that day. Ordega, before the next class, I hope you can figure out where you went wrong today."

Luo Mu didn't care about being scolded; back before his transmigration, which of the remarks he encountered while arguing online wasn't more vicious and ear-soiling than the words of this small fry, Ordega?

The level was simply too low.

Ordega had launched personal attacks against Pipa and Pina, who had spoken up to dissuade him; this was the reason Luo Mu chose to exercise his authority.

Withdrawing his gaze from Ordega, who looked lost and haggard as if his lifelong pride had shattered, Luo Mu turned to the other students who were looking at him as if he were a deity, and smiled: "Then let us continue; class might end a few minutes late. Can everyone accept that?"

"Yes~"

Seeing that Young Master Ordega, who ruled supreme within Grandma Ju Zi Academy, had been thwarted by Luo Mu, the students present, now knowing Luo Mu truly had some skill, saw no reason to disagree.

After briefly completing today's summary, Luo Mu, clutching his cracked-screen phone which now held over a dozen new contact numbers, fled the playground like a man escaping for his life under the bewildered gazes of several students.

Leaving behind only Hearing Hearing Nimo, who stood frozen in place with her hand extended, wanting to call him back to squeeze in a few battles before the break ended.

Jogging all the way out of Grandma Ju Zi Academy's main gate, his expression was as grim as if someone in his family had passed away; with a bitter face, he muttered to himself: "Overtime... I actually worked overtime. How could I work overtime!!"

Even though he had only taught for an extra five minutes, Luo Mu felt as though he had lost a hundred million; what normal person, after transmigrating to the Pokémon world, would still work overtime?

"What overtime?"

Principal Mu Fei appeared out of nowhere, looking at Luo Mu with confusion; judging by his demeanor, he seemed to have been lying in wait at Grandma Ju Zi Academy's main gate for quite some time.

Although startled by Principal Mu Fei's ghostly appearance, Luo Mu quickly adjusted his mindset and asked perplexedly: "Principal Mu Fei, why are you here?"

"I was waiting for you, Teacher Luo Mu." Principal Mu Fei straightened his body, looked at Luo Mu, leaned closer, and asked: "How was the young master's performance today?"

Ordega's performance?

Luo Mu's expression turned somewhat strange, and in just a few words, he laid out everything Ordega had done that day.

"That is the situation; I have temporarily suspended his bank card and plan to unlock it when class resumes next week. If you and his father deem this inappropriate, unlocking it now is fine; there is no need to consider my feelings."

Principal Mu Fei shook his head and gave a thumbs-up: "The master said to leave everything entirely to your responsibility, Teacher Luo Mu. We have no objections to such handling."

"Young Master Ordega verbally attacking his classmates is not something that has happened only for a day or two. Due to the company's busy affairs, the master has never had time to accompany the young master, and now he truly lacks the standing to educate him. Fortunately, you have taken up the post, Teacher Luo Mu."

"Young Master Ordega's education shall follow your approach entirely."

With these words, Principal Mu Fei bowed deeply to Luo Mu; Ordega was a child he had watched grow up since serving as his butler, and even though it pained him, now was the moment a decision had to be made.

He could only hope that this teacher, Luo Mu, could bring about a positive change in Young Master Ordega.

Recalling how Ordega's father had used a heavy tone to entrust him during that phone call that day, Luo Mu sighed, helped Principal Mu Fei up, and said: "As long as you do not resent it, that is good enough. As for his personality issues... I will do my best."

At the very least, in the original plot, Ordega changed because of Team Star, which proved his character was not entirely beyond saving.

By the time Luo Mu rode his Dragonite back to the farm, the time was already approaching five in the afternoon.

The moment his feet touched the ground, Luo Mu called out loudly, summoning the Pokémon on the farm to gather.

Moments later, Luo Mu's gaze swept over his six main Pokémon, the three Bai Bai Pengpeng, Wen Xiang Jun, the little Wenxiang Wenxiang Kedou, and Growlithe.

Except for Moltres and the Mailbird recovering from injuries, every Pokémon on the entire farm had gathered here.

Luo Mu sighed with emotion; it had been less than two months since he ended his journey and arrived at Pingdie Town, yet nowadays, the farm was becoming livelier and livelier.

Moreover, with the addition of new members today, the farm would become even more lively.

Clearing his throat lightly, Luo Mu spoke in a festive tone: "Everyone should already know that our farm will be adding several new members today. Next, I will introduce them to you all."

Over a dozen curious gazes immediately fixed upon the four figures standing behind Luo Mu.

Luo Mu first picked up a small dog-like Pokémon whose entire body seemed pieced together from fermented dough, and said: "This is Fidough, one of the new members joining our big family today. It can produce yeast, so the flour-based foods everyone eats in the future will be even more delicious!"

The black, round eyes of the Fidough held by Luo Mu looked at the crowd of Pokémon curiously observing it; its tail hung slightly low, appearing somewhat nervous.

Especially upon discovering that the five main forces were all observing it, Fidough became even more nervous, directly burying its head into Luo Mu's chest.

Especially that long, green Pokémon, which looked as if it wanted to eat it alive!

Luo Mu: "........"

This child was quite lively when I chose it; could it be that Luxray and the others exert too much pressure?

Luo Mu could only temporarily place Fidough behind his right leg before picking up another Pokémon.

This Pokémon's body resembled a tender green fruit; growing within the leaf stalk and leaves on its head was a yellow fruit containing bitter oil.

"It is Smoliv. After evolving, it can produce delicious olive oil. Bai Bai Pengpeng, I leave this child in your care."

Smoliv was slightly bolder than Fidough; although, like Fidough, it dared not look in the direction of Serperior, under the enthusiastic invitation of the Bai Bai Pengpeng, it at least moved its small feet and walked over.

As for the third one, Donphan, Luo Mu found it somewhat impossible to lift; even without having evolved, the average weight of this kind of Pokémon was 110kg.

Because the gathering place was in the open pasture area where the grass had grown very well, while staying behind Luo Mu, Donphan kept its head down, chewing the pasture grass slowly and deliberately, exuding an air of leisure that not even thunder could shake.

It seemed Donphan was very satisfied with the quality of the pasture grass.

Luo Mu smiled, squatted down, patted Donphan's body, and said: "It is Donphan, the first Pokémon in our pasture area. In the future, it can learn the plowing move, which can make the farmland soil even more fertile."
