Chapter 48 - Training (1/2)

A/N: Tbh, I wanted to write about Yue Zhengyu this chapter, but my Chem paper this morning completely slew all my brain cells so I couldn't think of anything for it.

A few days after the trials of joining Shrek Academy, everyone had settled down in their dorms. Unlike Huang Yu and Gu Yue who were studying at Shrek for free, Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and Xu Xiaoyan had to settle for being working students.

What did that mean? It meant that they had to work to be allowed to stay in the school.

The first time Huang Yu had heard of it, he had likened it to child labour. However, the excuses for it were that it was to instil 'discipline' and 'teamwork' so Huang Yu couldn't really say anything about it.

At the moment, Huang Yu, Gu Yue, Tang Wulin, Xie Xie and Xu Xiaoyan were at the Spirit Ice Plaza. The opening ceremony for the new year for Shrek Academy was about to begin.

After waiting for a while, Elder Cai, who had reawakened from being knocked unconscious and Huang Yu and Gu Yue's spirit fusion attack by this time, came down together with nineteen other people.

Out of the rest of the people that had arrived, Huang Yu could only recognise two. They were Wu Zhangkong and Shen Yi. However, he could tell that the others had strength rivalling those two.

Elder Cai was invited to give a speech since she was the headmaster of the outer court. After a few words from her that Huang Yu had frankly just tuned out, all the teachers went to their respective classes.

Naturally, Wu Zhangkong and Shen Yi were heading to their area. However, Huang Yu didn't expect that there was a third party coming with them.

It was Elder Cai…

As she arrived above the class he was in, she spoke, ”I will be personally managing this year's new class. Beside me are my ȧssistant teachers, Teacher Shen YI and Teacher Wu Zhangkong. Now to the classroom.”

Bruhhhhh…

Seeing the signs of a sly smirk on her face, Huang Yu couldn't help but think, 'Maybe I shouldn't have stopped that palm from turning her into a pancake. It seems like she really doesn't learn her lesson...'

Beside him, his classmates also had their own responses.

Tan Wulin's eyes went wide, Xie Xie's jaw dropped, Xu Xiaoyan gasped, while Gu Yue's lips quivered slightly.

After Elder Cai finished speaking, she flew toward the school building, leading the way for the rest of the class.

Walking towards the classroom with Wu Zhangkong and Shen Yi in front of them, Gu Yue whispered softly to Huang Yu, ”This woman is definitely going to make our lives difficult in this place after what happened a few days ago.”

Huang Yu gave a smile in reply. ”It doesn't matter. We can always just leave if it goes too far. I'm sure some other schools would love to accept us into our ranks.”

Gu Yue nodded in affirmation.

They entered the outer court's classroom for the first grade, which was on the first floor in the school building.

It was a lecture theater large enough to hold three hundred people. Elder Cai ascended it and stood behind the lectern.

At the side, Shen Yi spoke up. ”Students, please take your seat according to what I announce. Huang Yu, row one seat one.”

Oh? So Elder Cai is trying to look as if she was favouring his strength compared to the other students so they would all target him?

It was a stupid to try that if she wanted to affect him to be honest. She should have known from their fight a few days ago that he was leaps and bounds beyond everyone else here.

However, if it was for the sake of making him a goal for the other students to surpass, then this action she had done wasn't that bad. Yet, if the other students noticed that Huang Yu was too far above them, it may cause them to be discouraged instead.

The only thing that her action could possibly do was to make it so that Huang Yu couldn't outright sleep through the lessons. Unfortunately for her, Huang Yu had a very nice cheat called the King's Wisdom.

Huang Yu made his way to his seat. It was at the dead centre of the lecture theatre.

”Gu Yue, row one, seat two.”

”Tang Wulin, row one, seat three.”

”Xie Xie, row one, seat four”

”Xu Xiaoyan, row one, seat five.”
