Chapter 826: From Today Onwards, I Will Teach You!
At the northwest corner of the library, there was a teacher and a student. The voice originated from there.
This male teacher was thirty-plus years old. His beard was unkempt and his expression was one of fatigue. He carried a few books in his arms and the teacher’s robes he was wearing were a little dirty.
It wasn’t that he didn’t pay attention to his image, but he truly didn’t have time to take care of it.
For a school at the level of the Dragon Subduing Academy, even they would find it inconvenient to fire teachers after they pa.s.sed the intern phase. However, if the teacher’s performance was too weak, the teachers themselves would also have no face to stay behind and would take the initiative to resign.
By doing so, the school would also ‘understand’ things and give them an ample ‘contract-termination bonus’. The teacher also wouldn’t need to bear the black name of being fired. It could be considered a win-win situation.
Song En`min was currently in such a dire state.
He naturally didn’t want to leave. Not only had he suffered terribly before he pa.s.sed the intern phase and got officially employed, but he also knew that once he left, he wouldn’t have another chance to work at other supreme-tier famous schools anymore in his lifetime.
This was a hidden rule in the great teacher world.
Otherwise, if another of the Nine Greats hired Song En`min, wouldn’t that be saying that the school was picking up trash that the Dragon Subduing Academy discarded?
One must know that the more famous a school was, the more important they regarded their reputation.
Also, there would always be excellent great teachers wanting to join supreme-tier famous schools. They had no need to ‘pick up trash’.
Two months later, it would be time for the Autumn Hunting Sacrificial Ceremony.
Because winter in the great plains was simply too cold, humans and beasts would rarely venture out during this period, with many of the animals choosing to hibernate. Hence, before winter arrived, the Autumn Hunting Sacrificial Ceremony would commence as a conclusion of a year for the entire school.
In this sacrificial ceremony, teachers and great teachers would partic.i.p.ate in all sorts of compet.i.tions. It was a very good opportunity to perform.
Naturally, the main point of this event was about the students.
The value of a great teacher was greatly determinant on whether they could guide their personal students well enough. And Song En`min had planned to get his students to achieve outstanding results in this event so they could s.h.i.+ne in glory. Then the school would have a higher evaluation of him.
However, it was easy to speak of but extremely difficult to do.
At the very least, Song En`min had to spam all his resources onto his eldest disciple. But by doing so, it would cause his other personal students to feel unbalanced psychologically, and they might feel that their teacher was biased, favoring one and discriminating against the others.
Hence, rather than having a barrier in their relations.h.i.+ps in the future, he might as well choose to make a clean break now.
Luckily, he only had five personal students now.
It was easy to break things up.
This was also the reason why Xianyu Wei would cry out that sentence ‘Teacher, don’t you want me any longer?’.
“Xianyu, it’s not that I don’t want you, but…but…”
Song En`min found it hard to speak.
(Girl, why are you so obstinate and don’t understand anything? I’m doing this for your own good!)
Why would Song En`min choose to give up on Xianyu Wei?
Because she was a personal student he had recruited during his interns.h.i.+p mainly to ‘handle’ the test the school had given him. He actually wanted to teach her well, but she…
Sigh!
She truly couldn’t live up to his expectations!
He had originally thought that she was a piece of unpolished jade, but it turned out that his judgment was wrong.
During this year, other than Xianyu Wei’s appet.i.te increasing and she grew fatter, she had no improvements in all other aspects.
“Teacher, you don’t want me anymore?”
Xianyu Wei sobbed. She even forgot to chew the meat in her mouth.
She was a girl that weighed about 200 jin. If you added her soul into it, her weight would surely exceed 200 jin.
“Actually, leaving me is also beneficial to you. I won’t be able to teach you well.”
Song En`min persuaded in a low voice.
With regard to personal students, it was a type of love when they were let go at an appropriate time.
Xianyu Wei took her drumstick and prepared to throw it, but when she saw some strips of meat remaining, she felt reluctant to do so. “Teacher, I will cultivate hard in the future.”
Murong Mingyue slowed her steps and paid attention to this.
“…”
Song En`min initially still felt a little disturbed in his heart. But after seeing this, he steeled himself. “You don’t even have the will to throw away a drumstick. What rights do you have to talk about working hard?”
“Is there a connection between working hard and eating?”
Xianyu Wei asked in a dumbfounded manner. When she saw Song En`min having an unhappy expression on his face, she hurriedly apologized, “I was wrong. Teacher, if you don’t want me to eat, I won’t eat.”
After she spoke, she ran to the library’s exit and threw the drumstick away at the small forest.
Over there, some ants and worms would finish the drumstick. It wouldn’t be wasted.
After doing all these, Xianyu Wei ran back.
Song En`min closed his eyes.
(Why did I accept this student in the past?)
When Xianyu Wei was running, her two large legs caused booming sounds to echo on the ground, and the fats on her body shook and trembled, resembling a mountain of meat.
(Look at how fat you are. How much tax does your father have to collect from the Xianyu Tribe to feed you to such a point?)
“You have to control your desire for food or it will destroy you.”
Song En`min persuaded but stopped again.
(Forget it, she isn’t going to be my student anymore in the future. Why should I still be worried about her?)
(Just let her next personal teacher worry about her!)
(But looking at her appearance…she most probably won’t be able to find any, right?”
“Xianyu, I’m doing this for your own good…”
Song En`min explained more but sadly, a donkey’s lips did not match a horse’s mouth. Xianyu Wei still said the same thing.
“Teacher, you don’t want me anymore?”
Because of the commotion here, the teachers and students of the library had gathered around and were preparing to watch a good show.
“Sorry, I’m sorry!”
Song En`min clenched his fist. “Xianyu, let us part without hard feelings. You should find another brilliant teacher. I really cannot teach you.”
After speaking, Song En`min prepared to hasten his steps and walk away. If he continued waiting and the commotion became greater, it would be too embarra.s.sing.
“Teacher…”
Xianyu Wei shouted loudly before kneeling with a thud as she hugged Song Ming`en’s thigh.
“d.a.m.n!”
Sun Mo felt this scene to be an eyesore.
That girl was simply too ‘thick and strong’. This hug was equivalent to a black bear breaking a stick. The skinny legs of Song En`min felt like they were about to be pulled off.
“Is he dispelling their relations.h.i.+p as a teacher and student?”
“Why?”
“There’s no need to ask why. Clearly, that teacher doesn’t have the girl in his eyes. However, she’s really too fat.”
The students mumbled.
Honestly speaking, a person’s figure can describe their att.i.tude toward life, future, and cultivation.
To cultivators, how lazy was she since she was so fat?
Sun Mo also activated Divine Sight out of curiosity.
Xianyu Wei, 15 years old, Spirit-Refinement Realm.
Strength: 16+10. Your fist is your toughest s.h.i.+eld and sharpest blade. It’s a pity your strength isn’t able to ignite yet.
“…”
After seeing this, Sun Mo’s eyes almost protruded out and he wanted to curse.
The max stats for a spirit-refinement cultivator was 20. How did this Xianyu Wei break the limits?
What monstrous strength was this?
Intellect: 13. Silly and endearing, pure and naive. You can’t be bothered to use your brains and feel that it’s already very fortunate if you have something to eat. You cherish food very much.
Agility: 16. Although you are fat, you are very nimble. However, that’s only true after you train.
Endurance: 15. You can endure suffering, but you don’t feel like taking any action.
Will: 12. You have never suffered any setbacks before. Your loving father treats you like a flower in a greenhouse, doting on you too much.
…
Potential value: Extremely high.
Note: Although you are very fat, your heart is meticulous, gentle, weak, and pure.
Note: You feel that everyone can be friends as long as you share a meal together. You feel that one can forget any trouble after a meal. If you can’t forget them, just simply eat two meals!
Note: An unpolished jade that’s 215 jin heavy. Please treat her kindly.
“…”
Sun Mo didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when he saw the data. However, a hint of gentleness appeared in his heart. Kind and pure girls shouldn’t suffer any harm.
“Teacher, why don’t we go and eat something?”
Xianyu Wei inclined her head and stared pitifully at Song En`min. “Yes, let’s eat barbecue. After eating it, you will feel better.”
“You still want to eat?”
When Song En`min heard this, in addition to seeing Xianyu Wei’s eyes, which were so tiny to the point where they couldn’t be seen after being squeezed by her fats, he suddenly grew angry.
“Release me. Our fate has come to an end today.”
Song En`min kicked out. After all, he was a 3-star great teacher. Once he exerted force, how could Xianyu Wei endure it? She was directly shaken free.
Bang!
When Xianyu Wei who was over 200 jin fell, the bookshelves in the library even shook gently.
Song En`min hastened his steps and left. If it wasn’t for the fact that he cared about his image as a great teacher, he would have already run off.
Ai!
(It was truly a wrong idea to accept Xianyu Wei back then.)
“Teacher…”
Xianyu Wei sobbed and wailed. She sounded as though a chicken was dripping blood.
Murong Mingyue sighed. She wanted to say something, but that great teacher who was sneaking looks at her, spoke out first.
“Stop crying!”
Sun Mo persuaded.
“Why should I stop crying?”
Xianyu Wei sobbed. “My teacher doesn’t want me anymore, boohoohoo!”
“It isn’t easy to find sheep with two legs, but great teachers with two legs…are they not everywhere on the streets?”
Sun Mo consoled her.
“But those sheep, no, those great teachers aren’t mine! Now that I’m abandoned by my teacher, would other great teachers ever want to teach me in the future?”
Xianyu Wei sobbed even more sorrowfully.
The pig trotters her teacher braised were very delicious. She wouldn’t be able to eat them anymore in the future.
Sun Mo mentally mused that this girl wasn’t that silly. Although that fellow had said they should part with no hard feelings, everyone smart could tell that he minded the fact that Xianyu Wei’s apt.i.tude was too weak.
Great teachers weren’t fools, usually speaking, it was very rare for them to accept a personal student that had been abandoned before.
There was no solution to it. Because other than lucky people like Sun Mo who possessed a technique like Divine Sight, even Saints might misjudge some situations sometimes. Hence, the vast majority of people had no way to judge whether a student would have great achievements or not. This was also why no great teacher would take the risk of accepting a student that another great teacher had abandoned.
Besides, if you accepted an abandoned student, you would also offend the student’s original teacher because the hidden words were clear to all. “The student that you are incapable of teaching well, let me come and teach them in your stead.”
“Boohoo, my teacher doesn’t want me anymore. What should I do?”
Xianyu Wei was broken-hearted.
“Ai, just return home and stay there for a while first.”
Murong Mingyue sighed and persuaded.
No teachers would want students who had been abandoned once. Otherwise, they would have to endure whispers and gossip behind their backs. Since that was the case, she might as well return home and hide for a while.
“Can I only do this?”
Xianyu Wei lifted her head and stared pitifully at Murong Mingyue.
“Just go home!”
Murong Mingyue was saying this out of good will, but when Sun Mo heard this, he grew anxious.
This was a genius whose potential value was extremely high. If he let her go now, what would he do if he couldn’t find her anymore? Besides, what if she was forever unable to recover after this minor setback? It would truly be a pity.
(Forget it, a man should act when he needs to act.)
Hence, Sun Mo spoke.
“From today onward, I’ll teach you!”
Swish~
Everyone turned their heads and cast their gazes over.
(Who is this? An idiot?)
