Axel and Fairy Queen exchanged a few simple pleasantries, and the two of them soon arrived at the teaching building of Naranja Academy.
For some reason, Axel didn't know what method Fairy Queen had used, but when he entered the building, even the facial recognition had already been registered.
The teaching building had the same architectural style as the outside structures, equally magnificent and luxurious. But Axel wasn't particularly surprised.
The current Ultra Megalopolis was already far more prosperous than these century-old universities.
"So this is the history classroom?"
Axel walked through the sparse crowd and stopped at the doorway of a classroom.
Inside, a teacher was continuously asking students questions.
[On what date did Terastallization first appear in the Paldea region?]
[What day in history had the most recorded appearances of black Rayquaza?]
[During what periods did the various divisions of Paldea appear?]
Axel: "..."
Sure enough, no matter which region it was, history class in this world was devil-level difficulty.
Out of those three questions, he could barely answer only the second one.
Because he could simply let Rayquaza fly around for a day, then write down the date of the exam day on the paper.
Axel glanced sideways and looked at Fairy Queen with confusion.
'You want me to study this stuff?'
"Ahem! I found another classroom for you and Professor Briar. You'll study separately there..."
Fairy Queen blinked helplessly. She could already tell that the confused look Axel had when he heard those questions meant he was absolutely a poor student.
At the same time, she felt extremely lucky she had arranged a private teacher for Axel. Otherwise, he probably would have been exposed the moment he walked into the classroom.
"Then thanks a lot."
———
"You're here."
Fairy Queen quickly brought Axel to another classroom, where Briar was already waiting by the door.
The two were already quite familiar. When she saw Axel, Briar stood up from her seat and lightly shook his hand.
After the time they spent together at Blueberry Academy, Briar was already very familiar with Axel's situation.
"I didn't bring you any textbooks. Those things are far too complicated. When the time comes, just have Gardevoir stay outside with me, and I'll communicate the answers to you directly."
"What you really need to understand is the general history of Paldea and some relatively secret legends. I've already made course materials for those, so we'll go over them in a moment."
After just two sentences from Briar, Axel's eyes suddenly lit up.
'Now this, this is what you call a top-tier teacher!'
Fairy Queen: "..."
"Do you two even know how strict Naranja Academy is about preventing cheating?"
"On every exam day, whether big or small, there will be Elite-level Metagross and Champion-level Hypno supervising to prevent all Pokémon-based cheating."
"Even I can only modify the database one day in advance."
"What?", Axel and Briar looked at each other and both cried out in surprise at the same time.
Seeing their reaction, Fairy Queen helplessly waved her hand.
"Now you understand, right? This is basically impossible..."
"That's not necessarily true," Axel pulled at the corner of his mouth.
"If I had known the proctors were Pokemon, and only Elite-level ones at that, I would have just gone straight to take the exam."
'Is it really that hard to have an Elite-level Metagross take a test paper?'
'It's much easier than studying history.'
But since he was already here, Axel didn't plan to just leave like this.
"Professor Briar, please start the lesson now. It would be best to learn more about things related to the mythology field."
With the double insurance of his memories from a previous life and Gardevoir's reminders, Axel was very clear about one thing.
If he wanted to find the Treasures of Ruin in the Paldea region, the history classes here were absolutely essential.
Seeing the two of them get into the learning mood so quickly, Fairy Queen made a cheering gesture toward Axel from the doorway.
"Don't worry, I'll make sure to change the database to the easiest questions in advance."
Axel: "As long as you're happy."
After Fairy Queen left, Briar walked over to Axel's desk.
She didn't hide her explosive figure at all, leaning against the desk like an old friend.
"I didn't expect that after so many days, you still like pretending to be weak to trap your enemies."
"How am I pretending to be weak?", Axel was stunned. He genuinely couldn't remember.
"Hmph~", Briar shot Axel a sideways glance and snorted proudly.
"The first time we met before..."
"Ahem!", Axel quickly interrupted her.
He remembered now. It was the day he was hiding from Iono inside the tent. Briar had accidentally walked into the trap, and then the whole "uh! uh! ah! ah!" situation happened.
But in a setting where only the two of them were present, this probably wasn't the best topic to talk about.
Axel had a vague feeling that Briar's gaze looked a little sticky. That was definitely not a good sign.
"Professor Briar, we should probably start the lesson quickly."
"Ah, oh, okay," Briar suddenly snapped back to her senses, feeling that something about her today was a bit off. She quickly stood up from Axel's desk.
The moment she turned around, all kinds of thoughts started running through her mind.
'Damn it... when I came here earlier, it felt like this was just a meeting between old friends. I was even looking forward to it.'
'But why is it that after seeing Axel, my chest suddenly feels all tingly and numb?'
'Idiot, idiot, idiot! Briar, have you been single for so long that you've gone crazy just seeing a man who's seen your body?'
Briar lightly patted her chest a few times, forcing herself to quickly step into the role of a teacher.
"Student Axel, next I'm going to talk about the history of the Paldea region. You need to take notes carefully."
"First, let me introduce the field I research, so when you listen to the lesson you can focus on certain key points."
Axel nodded obediently, "Okay, Professor Briar!"
Hearing that title, Briar's body trembled, and she suddenly felt even more embarrassed.
She... had actually developed that kind of thought toward a student. This was really too shameful.
Taking advantage of the fact that Axel couldn't see her face from the front, Briar quickly pulled out her teacherly aura and forced herself to become cold and composed.
———
"Alright, introductions are over. Next I'll talk with you about some important history of Paldea."
The more Briar spoke, the more excited she became. She had completely entered the role of a teacher, shaking off her girlish embarrassment as she lightly tapped the blackboard with a slender teaching stick.
"The history of the Paldea League isn't short. It's just that things have been very stable, so major events rarely happen."
"But what I'm about to tell you next is something you'll definitely be very interested in."
"In ancient Aurient, there had already been trade exchanges with the Paldea region."
