“Arrived at the destination——”
After a long day of sailing, the S.S. Tidal finally docked at Lilycove City.
The three of them disembarked together, stepping into the territory of Lilycove City.
Master Victor was clearly well-prepared. As soon as they got off the ship, there was a private car waiting for them. After spending several months training outside with Little June, he was finally returning to his identity as a top-level master.
Before long, they arrived in front of the Breeder Headquarters by car.
“Is this the Breeder Headquarters?”
The building in front of them was grand and magnificent, but Terrance had already learned about it through various means. Moreover with his memories from his past life, it didn’t impress him much.
“Let me take you both to register.”
After getting down from the car, the old man planned to take the two youngsters to register.
The registration process was simple. Victor took Terrance and June to the lobby and directed them to the counter to submit their identity information.
It was evident that the registration had been going on all day as the staff member looked tired.
“June Joy, ten years old, Recommendation: Joy family. Alright, registration is complete.” Slightly surprised, the registration officer returned the Pokédex to June, a little more energetic.
Ten years old and from the Joy family. It seems she had encountered an extraordinary genius.
Then, Terrance handed over his identity information. However, he didn’t have the qualification to receive a Pokédex, so he had to provide the most basic proof of identity to the staff member.
“Name: Terrance, Age: ten, no referrer?”
“Child, are you serious?”
The staff member, who was using a computer to handle the registration, felt an unreal feeling in her heart upon seeing Terrance’ identification information.
What’s happening today? First, a ten-year-old came to register, but luckily, she is from the Joy family, and a regular here. Although she is a genius, it is still acceptable.
But this child, with the most basic proof of identity and no referrer, coupled with being just ten years old, in this era where ten-year-olds becoming Junior Breeders is extremely rare, the registration officer almost mistook Terrance for a troublemaker.
However, her excellent professionalism made her dismiss that thought.
“If you don’t have a referrer or a Pokédex, you’ll need to pay a fee of 1000 yen.”
Immediately after, the registration officer delivered a piece of news that left Terrance completely dumbfounded.
“I have to pay a fee to participate in the exam?!”
Terrance was genuinely unaware. As far as he knew, there didn’t seem to be such a requirement. However, the option for a referrer was indeed something he hadn’t heard of, which made Terrance somewhat convinced.
“I remember reading ‘Breeder Examination Guide’, but it didn’t have any mention of a fee for the Breeder Examination, right?” Terrance voiced his doubts. Even though he knew it was unlikely for the officer to deceive him, Terrance didn’t have enough money. If he couldn’t participate in the Breeder Examination, there was no point in discussing anything further.
“Hmm?” The registration officer was also a bit surprised, but she patiently explained, “Perhaps you read the outdated version. I recall there are registration-related notices posted in the lobby. You can go and have a look.”
Upon hearing this, Terrance completely believed her. There was no reason for her to deceive him.
“Can you make an exception?” At this moment, June behind Terrance spoke up.
“You know each other.” The registration officer was somewhat surprised to see June Joy’s actions. She hadn’t expected that these two kids would be together.
“Umm, I believe he has the ability to become a Junior Breeder.” Little June nodded in agreement.
Upon hearing June Joy’s words, the registration officer was somewhat taken aback, but she still said, “However, rules are rules. If I were to alter them, I could be fined—”
“But considering your young age, I’ll help you this once and register you.” A thought crossed the registration officer’s mind. She naturally couldn’t go against the regulations of the Breeder Headquarters, but if she personally paid 1000 yen for Terrance’s registration, then there wouldn’t be any issues.
As for whether it was worth it or not, if Terrance truly had the skills to become a Breeder at the age of ten, what could be more attractive to her than that? For her, it was an investment and a favor to someone!
A young Breeder with great potential was worthy of her assistance.
“Thank you so much.” June let out a sigh of relief. She had also noticed Terrance’s predicament.
The current outcome was undoubtedly the best.
“Thank you.” Terrance also expressed his gratitude to Little June.
At his age, he didn’t really care about feeling embarrassed or not. If he could avoid spending money on the examination, then why would he go looking for trouble?
Just as the registration officer was preparing to proceed with the registration, Master Victor walked over from a distance. He had noticed that Terrance hadn’t registered yet, so it caught his attention.
“You don’t need to trouble yourself. Fill in my name as his referrer.” As soon as he arrived, the old man understood the situation and handed a card to the registration officer.
Even before seeing the person, the registration officer was slightly surprised upon hearing these words. Except for some high-level families within the Breeder Headquarters, only intermediate Breeders and above had the qualification to recommend someone. It seemed that this child wasn’t without any background.
Of course, otherwise how could a ten-year-old have the confidence to participate in the Junior Breeder examination and be familiar with someone from the Joy family?
“You… You are Master Victor!”
The registration officer, who was initially just slightly surprised, exclaimed after inserting the card into the slot, as the information displayed on the computer screen immediately caught her attention.
The photo, name, identity, and achievements displayed left her in awe.
Honorary Vice President of the Breeder Association, top-level Breeder, genetics master, vice dean of the Crown Academy, and many more. Master Victor also has the honor of participating in various competitions during his youth— all of this made the registration officer extremely excited.
“Hello, Master Victor.” The registration officer immediately stood up and bowed to Victor, showing her respect.
If it weren’t for the late hour and the fact that they were the only ones left to register, her exclamation would likely have attracted many others.
The influence of a top-level Breeder was equivalent to the attraction of Elite Four or even the Champion to ordinary Trainers.
“Don’t worry about all that. Just proceed with the registration.” Victor chuckled and waved his hand.
“Alright!” Upon hearing Victor’s instruction, the registration officer worked diligently, being extremely careful during the process, fearing making any mistakes.
The process was very fast, and once the registration was completed, after returning the information credentials, the lady in charge of registration continued, “Wishing you both good results, and good luck.”
“Thank you.” The two of them politely responded without much excitement.
They both had full confidence and didn’t need to make themselves overly nervous or excited.
Observing the calm expressions of the two kids, the registration officer couldn’t help but feel a slight admiration. Sure enough, how could they be ordinary when they have a connection with Master Victor? It seems that this examination would be quite interesting.
