144 Jealousy! Pseudo-S Class
Lin Shuyi wouldn't outright dismiss the Horse School's grading system. She acknowledged that her old classmate wasn't inferior in ability, but her pride wouldn't let her admit it openly.
As the only daughter in her family, Lin Shuyi had been raised with a strong sense of self-worth. However, when she saw the results, a genuine smile spread across her face. Her heart pounded in excitement.
"Pseudo S-Class!"
The significance of the grade was undeniable. The focus wasn't just on the total score but on the individual attributes that defined the ranking.
Ma Xiao, standing nearby, smirked. He had no idea what Qin Yun's exact grade would be, but he was confident it wouldn't be low. The reactions from the Horse School faculty and the old woman made the surrounding crowd uneasy, each person craning their neck to get a glimpse of the results.
"No way, Qin Yun only got a pseudo-S rank?"
To truly achieve S-Class status, it wasn't just about reaching a total score threshold. Every attribute—Attack, Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense, Speed, and HP—had to be graded S for a complete evaluation.
Still, this result was impressive.
Lin Shuyi recalled watching Qin Yun in a video Ma Xue had shown her while bragging. She wasn't oblivious—she could tell that Qin Yun and Serena weren't in a romantic relationship, but the way they interacted was intriguing.
As for Blaziken, which had only recently evolved into its late elite stage, it might still be too early to achieve a full S-rank evaluation.
Lin Shuyi extended her hand toward Qin Yun, intending to take him away. School matters no longer interested her.
Qin Yun suddenly found both arms occupied—Serena clung to his left while Lin Shuyi grasped his right.
His expression turned awkward. When did Serena become his girlfriend?
Only one student had ever achieved a full S-Class rank—Steven Stone.
Just as Qin Yun and the others were about to speak, a staff member rushed over, clutching the score sheet in panic.
"How could this be a fake S-Class?!"
[Comprehensive Score: 41,417 (Pseudo S-Class)]
"What's the matter? Don't make a scene. Bring it here."
"Yes, technically, any score above A+ qualifies as S-Class, but we rarely mention it because true S-Class is so difficult to achieve."
Over the years, Rustboro No. 3 Middle School had improved drastically. Compared to the past, it had produced many outstanding students. Even so, achieving an S-Class rank remained an impossibility for most.
The old woman's hands trembled as she read the results. She had heard Qin Yun's name before, and now she finally understood why.
[Pokémon: Shiny Lurantis]
The two students from Rustboro No. 3 Middle School couldn't hide their jealousy. Why were two of their school's most beautiful girls fighting over Qin Yun?
"It's him!"
Ma Xue burst into laughter—this was Qin Yun's moment of glory.
[Special Defense: 6,712 (S)]
Lin Shuyi couldn't get Qin Yun out of her mind.
It wasn't just luck. His Pokémon were exceptionally well-trained, proving that he was a skilled trainer.
[Special Attack: 6,003 (A+)]
Lin Shuyi had never felt this way before.
"Haha! Qin Yun is amazing!"
"Who am I?"
"Kr…"
"Does this mean Qin Yun could become a future Champion?"
"Qin Yun's Blaziken is in the late elite stage. If it was already powerful as a Combusken, it's no surprise that it reached pseudo-S rank now."
These achievements were a testament to the school's training program.
Lin Shuyi beamed, extending her hand for a proper handshake—an open, heartfelt gesture.
Two Rustboro No. 3 Middle School students gawked in disbelief.
Upon seeing Qin Yun again, Lin Shuyi had no intention of letting him slip away.
[Defense: 6,792 (S)]
Lin Shuyi tightened her grip on Qin Yun's arm, acting even more intimately than Serena.
"Of course, I'm Qin Yun's girlfriend. Who else could I be?"
The pseudo-S ranking was impressive, as four of Qin Yun's six attributes had reached S-Class. This was beyond what most trainers could comprehend.
Deep down, Lin Shuyi admired Qin Yun.
"Qin Yun!"
Even Norman, the famous Gym Leader, hadn't been this strong at the same age.
The old woman's eyes widened. She had heard this name just yesterday—was he the same boy she had been told about?
"I didn't expect you to be from Jiangcheng No. 3 Middle School. We're both from No. 3 Middle School. That's fate."
"Out."
Serena's expression darkened, and her aura turned menacing—Luo Qing could practically smell the jealousy radiating off her.
"No, no, no! The machine must be broken! This can't be right!"
"He's the same Blaziken boy who saved you in the car accident?"
"It's fine, we'll see the final results soon."
"Hello, I'm Lin Shuyi, a senior at Rustboro No. 3 Middle School."
Her eyes sparkled. So this was the man she had taken a liking to.
Qin Yun let out a deep breath. The results had come at the perfect moment. Otherwise, he might have suffocated under the weight of all this attention.
Lin Shuyi ignored everyone else. To her, they were just background noise.
[Physical Strength: 10,928 (S)]
"Hello, I'm Qin Yun from Jiangcheng No. 3 Middle School."
[Attack: 7,692 (S)]
"What's wrong?"
"Oh, nothing… It's just that the last time someone achieved an S-Class score, it was Steven Stone's Metagross when it reached the professional level."
"Um?"
If Qin Yun's Lurantis continued to grow, reaching the Elite stage was only a matter of time.
Lin Shuyi strode toward Qin Yun, her smile radiating confidence.
"TT…"
The students were stunned—Lin Shuyi, usually cold and indifferent, was initiating conversation with a boy.
"How is this possible?! Such a high score?!"
Everyone knew who Lin Shuyi was. She was not only the school's most beautiful girl, but also one of its strongest trainers, and her family was influential.
Lin Shuyi had made up her mind. She was the type to love fiercely. Now that she had set her sights on Qin Yun, she wouldn't back down.
The old woman was equally shaken.
Lin Shuyi's boldness surprised everyone, leaving them struggling to believe what they were witnessing.
Still, she was confident Qin Yun could maintain his rank.
"It's really him!"
The crowd buzzed in confusion at the scene before them.
In school, Lin Shuyi rarely acknowledged top-ranking students, even those who were ranked first. She simply didn't care.
[Stage: Elite Intermediate]
Despite everything, Jiangcheng No. 3 Middle School remained important to Qin Yun. He believed in its potential and its students.
Many people at school saw Lin Shuyi as a dream girl. Marrying her would be like winning the lottery.
"Qin Yun, you're incredible!"
"Sorry, but Qin Yun is busy right now."
Qin Yun recognized Lin Shuyi—it was indeed fate that they had met on the bus and now in school.
"Shuyi, who is this Qin Yun?"
She hadn't expected to see him again—let alone at her school.
Rustboro No. 3 Middle School's students stood there, utterly dumbfounded.
They finally understood the weight of an S-Class ranking.
