Chapter 330 Is the dormitory haunted?
"I want you to be in the top 8 in the school rankings and get a spot to represent Goose City Academy in the competition!"
Zhang Heng was shocked when he heard this. He knew very well that the freshman ranking competition was only for students who had just enrolled, while the school ranking competition was a mixed competition between freshmen to seniors.
After their sophomore year, many seniors choose to travel to improve their research topics, but even so, the annual school ranking events still attract much attention.
Many seniors will come back from all over the world to participate in the competition just to get a good result.
Because this not only means having a huge amount of exchange resources, but also means that you will have higher popularity after graduation in the future.
Whether you challenge the gym leader in the future, become a gym leader, or get promoted to a top trainer, you will get unexpected help.
Just like newly graduated students looking for jobs, they enrich their resumes through various national competitions or academic rankings within the school to secure a better future for themselves. The same is true in this world.
Thinking of this, Zhang Heng took a deep breath, raised his head, looked at Principal Duan firmly, and said, "Principal, I will do my best."
Principal Duan looked at Zhang Heng's determined eyes and smiled with satisfaction. "Okay, the school will provide you with the appropriate training resources. I hope you won't let me down."
Zhang Heng nodded vigorously, but a doubt suddenly surfaced in his heart. He looked up at Principal Duan and the flamingo beside him. A Fighting-type Pokémon? Duan?
"If you have any questions, just ask. It's just you and me here."
Zhang Heng nodded and asked directly, "Excuse me, are you acquainted with the champion of the South China section?"
Principal Duan smiled noncommittally and said, "Don't we look alike? Duan Suyue is my cousin."
Although Zhang Heng got a positive answer and guessed so in his heart, he couldn't help but be surprised.
"I see. Then is it because of Duan Guanjun that you take such good care of me?"
"Yes and no. It's true that my cousin mentioned you to me, but he didn't ask me to give you any special care. However, what you showed today really shocked me."
Zhang Heng frowned slightly. Speaking of shocking the respected principal of the school in front of him, Zhang Heng thought he couldn't do it. But if he had to say it, it was that he used the Gigantamax energy to shatter the training dome.
It is said that the dome can withstand attacks from Pokémon below the quasi-champion level, but it was shattered by Zhang Heng like this.
"You see potential in me?"
"That's right. I hope you can make it into the top eight of Goose City Academy, represent our school in the South China University League, and achieve excellent results."
As a student of Echeng University, Zhang Heng still knows a certain amount of history. In the past 10 years, Echeng University has always been at the bottom of the college league in South China, and has been crushed and eliminated by Pengcheng University and Yangcheng University for many years.
Zhang Heng understood, his eyes blazing with excitement. Even if Principal Duan hadn't mentioned it, this was his fixed goal.
Participating in the college league is just the starting point. What he really desires is to represent the South China region in the Youth Cup, to come out on top in the competition among young talents from colleges and universities across the country, and to achieve the glory that even his father could not achieve.
"Principal, don't worry. I will definitely make it into the top 10 in the school rankings, shine in the South China University League, and bring Echeng Academy back to the top." Zhang Heng's tone was firm, and his determination was unquestionable.
Principal Duan looked at the high-spirited Zhang Heng with approval in his eyes. "Good boy, that's the kind of drive you should have! From now on, you'll have to fight on your own."
After coming out of the principal's office, Zhang Heng did not slack off at all and plunged straight into his busy studies and course learning.
During the day, he shuttled between classrooms in the teaching building, carefully absorbing knowledge about Pokémon cultivation, battle tactics, skill theory, etc., without missing any details.
In class, he actively answered questions and had lively discussions with professors, combining the knowledge he learned with actual combat, and constantly broadening his thinking.
..............................
The atmosphere in the hospital conference room was solemn. Dr. Lin, the hospital director, sat at the head of the long table, his face serious, his fingers tapping lightly on the tabletop. Head nurse Li Jing sat nearby, her brow furrowed, her eyes filled with worry.
"The recent haunting incident has seriously affected the order of the hospital and the mood of doctors and nurses." Doctor Lin was the first to break the silence in a low voice.
"The patients are panicking, and many have requested to be transferred to other hospitals. If this continues, the hospital's reputation will be damaged."
Li Jing nodded helplessly. "Yes, Dean. The nurses on night duty were also very scared. They all said they saw dark shadows and medical supplies that were inexplicably messed up. Although we all know it might be a ghost-type Pokémon, this is not a solution."
Lin Yu pondered for a moment and said, "Let's stabilize our hospital staff first, and then find a way to solve this problem." He picked up his phone, edited a text message and sent it out to a group of people, including Zhang Heng.
At this time, Zhang Heng finished a busy and fulfilling day at the academy, and dragged his slightly tired body back to the hospital dormitory run by the family group.
His phone suddenly vibrated. He took it out and saw a message from the hospital staff group.
"There have been reports of ghost-type Pokémon appearing in the hospital recently. If you are disturbed while resting in the dormitory, please press the call button next to your bed and security staff will come and handle the situation."
After reading it, Zhang Heng felt puzzled. He had never encountered anything unusual in the dormitory, but he still kept this matter in mind.
When I walked into the dormitory building, the corridor was quiet and a little depressing. The atmosphere felt particularly gloomy and the lights were dim.
As he passed the next room, he faintly heard sobbing. Zhang Heng paused, his mind aching.
"I wonder if it's the haunting incident the dean mentioned, or if the hospital staff are simply under too much pressure?"
This dormitory building is basically inhabited by hospital employees. Everyone is under a lot of pressure from work, so it is understandable that they occasionally have emotional breakdowns.
But this hospital is family-owned, so it is very necessary for Zhang Heng to understand the needs of the employees. It would not be appropriate to ignore the employees' situation.
He stood at the door, struggling for a moment. On the one hand, knocking on the door rashly might disturb others and seem a bit rude.
On the other hand, if someone really encounters difficulties and you turn a blind eye to it, you are violating your own principles and are not in line with the employee care concept that the family has always emphasized.
After much thought, Zhang Heng felt that he should still show some concern, perhaps he could be of help.
So, he raised his hand and knocked gently on the door, and asked in a gentle voice: "Hello, is everything okay in there? I live next door, and I heard some noise and I'm a little worried."
As soon as he finished speaking, something strange happened.
In front of Zhang Heng, a thin layer of ice spread rapidly on the wooden door that was knocked at a speed invisible to the naked eye. In the blink of an eye, it covered the entire door panel.
On the ice surface, densely packed sharp ice cones pierced around, bringing a chill to the face.
Zhang Heng's pupils suddenly shrank, and instinct drove him to step back violently.
Just as he moved, a creepy low laugh sounded in his ears. The sound seemed to come from the depths of hell and was indescribably weird.
"whee……"
Before Zhang Heng could react, he subconsciously turned around and saw a pair of inky black hands appear out of thin air. With irresistible force, they pushed him fiercely on the back, intending to slam him into the wooden door covered with icicles...
