Hu Yang had a terrible nightmare.

In the dream, he was sucked into a dark and damp place, and was chased by a group of rotting headless corpses and a long-haired female ghost like Sadako.

He didn't sleep well that night. When he woke up in the morning, he felt dizzy and had a lot of cold sweat on his back.

"Strange... Why does the temperature feel so much lower..." As soon as he got out of bed, Hu Yang felt something was wrong.

He glanced out the window. It was autumn when he first crossed over. Now it has been a month. After careful calculation, it seems that winter is coming soon.

It is normal for the temperature to drop suddenly in this season. Hu Yang didn't think much about it. He put on his clothes and took the two elves to the cafeteria for dinner.

When passing by the playground, he saw Xi Tian Gang leading students in class.

Unlike him, Xi Tian Gang is a teacher of the elf attribute class. In addition to explaining basic knowledge in the classroom, he occasionally goes to the playground for practical explanations.

Nishida Tsuyoshi: "What I want to say is that it is not absolute that attribute restraint will win the battle. Through the command and cultivation of the trainer, it is possible to defeat the opponent in the presence of attribute restraint."

While speaking, his eyes drifted to Hu Yang who was passing by: "Teacher Xiaoyang, can you come over here?"

Hu Yang didn't know what he was going to do, but still walked over and said speechlessly: "Didn't we agree not to call me by this name?"

People in the elf world like to add the word "Xiao" when calling others, like Xiaozhi, Xiaogang, Xiaoxia.

After getting familiar with him, the teachers in the school tacitly changed their name for him, changing "Hu Yang" to "Xiaoyang".

Nishida Tsuyoshi chuckled and said, "It seems more friendly this way!"

Huyang: "...What's the matter with calling me over?"

Nishida Tsuyoshi nodded and said, "It's like this, I was explaining the attribute restraint battle to them, and I heard from Lijia that you just captured a grass-type Pokémon. Can you have a Pokémon battle with me?"

As he said that, he also took out a red and white ball, and with a flash of white light, a lobster soldier appeared beside him.

Huyang reminded expressionlessly, "You have been a trainer for seven or eight years, and I am still a newcomer."

Isn't this bullying?

Nishida Tsuyoshi scratched his head embarrassedly, "Ah, I almost forgot about it, but don't worry, I just captured this lobster soldier, and it hasn't fought many battles yet."

"This is OK." Huyang became interested, just in time to test the power of the shy bud's moves.

The two stood at the two ends of the practice field, and the students excitedly surrounded the field.

Xiaoyao shouted with anticipation: "Teacher Xiaoyang, come on!"

Under her leadership, other students also shouted loudly, but the target was Huyang.

Seeing this scene, Xi Tiangang's face was a little dark, and he said sadly: "Why is no one cheering for me?!"

"Teacher, you have many years of battle experience, and Teacher Xiaoyang has just become a trainer. This is not fair!" Xiaoyao shook her finger.

Xi Tiangang had no rebuttal.

Huyang couldn't help but almost laughed out loud, and said with a smile: "Can we start?"

"Nini!" The shy little face was full of fighting spirit. The delicious meal yesterday made it full of strength.

"The rules of the battle are 1v1. Each person can only use one Pokémon. The battle can only end when the Pokémon of one side loses its combat ability!" Xiaoyao acted as a referee in a very professional manner.

The battle officially began. Xi Tian Gang decided to take the initiative and shouted: "Lobster Soldier, use Bubble!"

"Cha!" The lobster soldier raised his two large claws, and suddenly a large piece of transparent bubbles flew out of it.

"Mimosa, dodge to the left!" Although it was the first official elf battle, Hu Yang was not too nervous. Instead, he felt an unprecedented excitement in his body and gave orders calmly.

Foam is a simplified version of Bubble Ray. Whether it is density or speed in mid-air, it cannot compare with Bubble Ray.

Before they fly over, Mimosa has enough time to dodge by moving.

Nishida Gang saw his intention and continued to chase: "Lobster Soldier, rush over and use clamp!"

Huyang: "Use paralysis powder forward!"

"Cha!"

"Ni!"

The lobster soldier ran over with a clatter, and the mimosa made a sound of exertion. The light yellow powder spread from the bud on its head, surrounding the lobster soldier in the middle.

"Cha?!"

The lobster soldier's body froze and could not move.

"Seed bomb!" Huyang quickly launched a pursuit when he saw this.

"Ni!"

A huge green seed condensed on the bud of the mimosa, and under its control, it smashed straight towards the paralyzed lobster soldier.

As expected, it hit accurately.

As the name of this move suggests, an explosion occurred instantly at the moment of hitting.

Hit the vital point!

"Cha!"

The lobster soldier cried out in pain. Perhaps it was because of its insufficient resistance that it did not recover from the paralysis.

When Nishida saw this scene, he felt a moment of suffocation.

And Huyang immediately pursued: "Another seed bomb!"

As expected, the seed bomb with twice the water resistance directly hit the lobster soldier to the point where he lost his combat capability.

"Ni!"

The shy bud happily fell into Huyang's arms. It defeated the enemy!

It has always been the defeated party in the wild. Not only Huyang, but this time is actually its first victory!

The joy of victory does make people happy.

"Great job! Let's work hard together in the future!" Huyang praised generously.

"Teacher, it is difficult to win a battle with attribute restraint, right?" a student asked.

Nishida Gang took back the lobster soldier, said thank you for your hard work, and then smiled embarrassedly:

"Your teacher Xiaoyang is too powerful, but as I said before, there is still a possibility of winning in a battle with opposite attributes."

Huyang also said: "Your teacher is right, attribute restraint is not absolute, and you will definitely encounter this kind of battle when you embark on your journey in the future."

"However, as long as you understand and trust your companions enough, observe the opponent's actions carefully in the battle, and make good predictions, you still have a chance to win."

Huyang analyzed the difference between the bubble and bubble ray of the lobster soldier just now.

If the lobster soldier just used the bubble ray, then the mimosa would definitely not be able to avoid it. After being hit, Nishida Gang would definitely launch a pursuit immediately, and in that case, the result might be different.

"Is that so?" Xiaoyao muttered to herself, and after a moment, a glow of admiration flashed in her eyes: "We'll remember it!"

Nishida Gang touched Huyang with his arm and whispered: "Why do I feel that you are more suitable to be their battle class teacher than me... How about I propose it to the principal later?"

Huyang: "... I think the ecology class teacher is more suitable for me." There are few classes, and he has plenty of personal time.

"Okay then." Nishida Gang said.

Huyang: "I'm leaving. I have classes later. I'll leave this to you."

He slipped away, and he was going to take Mimosa to do radio gymnastics.

————

After a day of classes, Huyang took Gu Yueniao and Mimosa back to the dormitory.

As soon as he entered the room, he couldn't help but shudder and said to Mimosa: "Do you feel that the house is much colder than outside?"

He didn't realize it before going out in the morning, and now there is a comparison, and it is obvious that something is wrong.

Han Mimosa frowned and nodded: "Ni..."

What's going on?

Hu Yang stood in the living room and looked around. Is there anything different in the house?

If there is only one difference, it is that there is one more thing.

Thinking about it, his eyes were fixed on the dark purple gem on the desk.

Hu Yang walked forward and took it in his hand.

As soon as he touched it, he felt a chill.

It seems that the problem is here.

The name of this gem is "Cursed Gem".

He couldn't help but think of the nightmare he had last night and the strangeness of the adventurer.

Is it also related to this thing?

Hu Yang narrowed his eyes. If there was a problem, the adventurer must have run away now.

In order to test whether this thing made him have nightmares, before going to bed, he took it outside and buried it in the ground in a place where no one was.

I thought tonight would be a peaceful night, but when he opened his eyes the next day, he saw this strange gem on the desk again.

"It's really a curse..." Thinking back to the nightmare he had last night, Hu Yang finally understood why this thing was called this name.

Fuck, it's haunted!
