Chapter 12 Trainers also have to take Level 4 and Level 6 exams

Hoshino's expression was completely blank at this moment. He had always thought that these people talking about going to school were a joke, but it seemed that this was not the case.

So the question is, why do you need to go to school to be a trainer? Shouldn’t you start traveling when you are in your early teens? Why?

After thinking for a long time, he couldn't figure it out, so he asked a question. When Hara heard this, his expression became more serious: "Going on a trip at the age of ten? What can a ten-year-old kid do? He can't do anything!"

"Knowledge about survival in the wild, knowledge about training and fighting Pokémon, and ways to deal with various situations... these must be learned thoroughly in school before you can go on a trip!"

"..."

Hoshino was confused. Aren't these supposed to be innate skills that everyone is born with in the Pokémon world? Why do they still need to learn them?

Perhaps seeing that he did not know much about this, Harla continued: "Our Alola region started late. Because of its small area and population, it is relatively backward in many aspects. It has always been regarded as a resort area in the past.

Let’s take a look at it.”

"It was more than ten years ago, thanks to the unremitting efforts of some trainers who went to other areas from Alola to study and then came back, that the outside world recognized that our area is a serious area, not a small country.

."

"Later, in order to keep up with the development of other regions, we here also began to pay attention to education, and built the only Pokémon school in Alola in Alola City."

"At that time, our four island kings all attached great importance to this. There were not enough teachers in the school and there were no educational resources, so we had to spend money to find them in other areas. It took several years before we finally stabilized and started to develop.

"

"Now in the Alola region, children who are over 12 years old are required to go to school. Unlike other regions, we do not need to pay tuition here. Six years of compulsory education is made up, so you can rest assured!"

This is the famous Hala's persuasion. Hoshino knows that he can't run away. As long as he agrees, he will be considered an Alola person. If he refuses, without saying anything else, he will directly return to the wild.

He did not agree immediately, but just sighed: "I just want to have a legal identity certificate and become a trainer. Is it so difficult?"

Hearing his muttering, Hala suddenly laughed and said, "Want to become a trainer? Just go to school."

"Um?"

Seeing Hoshino's confused look again, Hara smiled and continued patiently: "It seems that you lack a lot of common sense, so you must go to school and study hard! In the past, there were no requirements for the profession of trainer, and anyone could be it.

, leading to a lot of people who overestimate their capabilities, and children in their early ten years run into the wild without knowing anything..."

"In order to prevent a sharp decrease in the population, educational institutions and the Pokémon League later issued regulations that you cannot become a trainer without going to school, and you cannot legally hold Pokémon, and you cannot go to many places without a diploma.

"

"..."

Hoshino is convinced. Is this a must-have course? It’s just a waste of time.

But if it is six years of compulsory education starting at the age of 12, then you can graduate at the age of 18. For me, it is a three-year period!

Perhaps seeing what he was thinking, Hala suddenly said: "It is true that as long as you are 18, you can get a diploma from the Pokémon School, and you can go anywhere by then, but..."

"Um?"

"But if you don't go to college, you won't be able to take the exam to upgrade your trainer level. This professional knowledge is very important. If your level is too low, it will be very difficult to take the civil service exam or go to the Pokémon League Association to participate in large competitions in the future."

"Do trainers still need to take the level 4 or 6 exam?"

"Haha, but don't worry, our Pokémon School in Alola is a two-in-one one-stop service, and the university is also together. After the six-year compulsory education, you can directly enter the university on the spot. This kind of treatment is not available in other places!"

"...What kind of Pokémon world is this!"

Hoshino is really stupid. A bunch of weird Pokémon in Kabukicho is outrageous enough, but he didn't expect it to be even more outrageous on the human side.

When you come to this world, isn't it just to travel around and meet Pokémon? Why do you have to go to school and take level 4 and 6 exams? I was tortured in my previous life, and suddenly I don't want to go to school!

There were some fluctuations in his mentality, but he was still stable, but he always felt that he was not facing the king of the island, but the admissions office of a school. Could he have been betrayed by the stupid king?

With these doubts, he asked curiously: "Speaking of this Pokémon school, how are classes usually held? Are there morning and evening study halls?"

"Normally, there are six hours of classes every day from 9 a.m. to 12 a.m. and from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. There are no classes on weekends. However, there are regular wilderness survival courses, and there are also activities to investigate the ecology of other areas or interact with other schools.

"

"oh……"

Now Hoshino finally felt a little more relieved. He thought he was the kind of person who would work from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., but it turned out that he seemed quite free.

But think about it, this is a Pokémon school, and its main purpose is to train trainers. Naturally, it won't be like stuffing you into an ivory tower.

In this way, I have a lot of time. After studying for three years, I can go to college. Going to school will always pass by in a hurry.

"In that case, I'll go to school, so when can I go?"

"It's the weekend now. I'll help you get your identity certificate later. Leave the rest to me. You can just go to school the day after tomorrow. I'll let King Dude convey the rest to you."

"Thank you very much!"

Although he still thought there was something strange, Hoshino couldn't figure it out, but he was quite lucky. Except for the money he owed, everything else was provided by one-stop service. As expected of the Alola area, it was indeed warm and hospitable.

"By the way, I am 15 years old now. I have missed three years of education. Is this really okay?"

Hearing this, Hara laughed twice and responded: "Of course, no problem, just start from the beginning, that's right, starting from the first grade!"

"???"

Isn’t the script wrong? Hoshino is confused, shouldn’t he be in fourth grade? Does that mean he has to wait six years to get his diploma? Can he travel freely?

"I won't do it, I won't do it!"

Where did he get so much time, so he said to Hala with a serious expression: "Actually, I know a lot of Pokémon knowledge very well. There is no need to start from scratch. Moreover, I have been wandering in the wild before, and I have been able to deal with various situations.

Got it!"

"Yeah?"

Hala glanced at King Daidai, but King Daidai didn't know much, but he still nodded.

After the understanding was over, he looked at Hoshino again and said: "Indeed, it seems that apart from not being a trainer, you are already ahead in other aspects. Starting from scratch will waste a lot of time..."

"Uh-huh!"

"So……"

As he said that, Hala suddenly noticed the Motorized Lizard over there, which was chasing the wild little Duer, and asked: "Is that your Pokémon?"

"That's right!"

"But it seems that it has never been tamed, and even if it is, you are not a legal trainer."

"..."

Seeing Hoshino's silence, Hala suddenly smiled and asked, "Do you think this is good?"

"Um?"

"Since you said you have rich professional knowledge, let's prove it through a Pokémon battle. As long as you can win, you don't need to start from scratch, and I will also give you a Pokémon ball!"

"You also give gifts?"

"After all, it is the duty of the king of our island to give newcomers the initial Pokémon. You already have a Biker, so I can only give you a ball to conquer it. How about that?"

"A battle..."

Hoshino looked at the Motorized Lizard who was still playing around over there, and he could only use it to fight, but since Hara had already proposed it...

"Then let's have a Pokémon battle!"
