Chapter 1 (2/2)

Xia Yu casually said:” I don’t think what they want is money, like you said, they’ve got tons of money, not to mention they don’t even know if you can take out 1 million. Since you clearly can’t, why would they do this if they want money? So what they want is probably for you to beat a retreat in the face of difficulty, not being their teach anymore. If you just quit then it’ll all be okay.”

“You seem to have a point.” Ren Bi’s eyes’ lit up, but then proceeded to say dejectedly, : It still won’t work, they have pictures, if I quit, they can still destroy my name, that’s too scary.”

“Isn’t it just a couple of nude pics, it’s not like you’re some kind of celebrity, what are you afraid of? Take your whole family and move to a different city, break all relations here, no matter who that chick is she can’t chase you over, not to mention do they have such free time? With your Northern resume, wherever you goes the doors will be right open. It is a bit troublesome, but it’s better than paying with your life and not solving anything, right?

“You’re right! How come I never thought of that!” Ren Bi jumped up from the ground, shaking Xia Yu’s hand, “Bro, thank you for your enlightenment. I think you’re more suited than me to be a teacher, your psychological counseling ability is first cla.s.s, haha!”

The person saying it didn’t have the intention but the listener had heart, Xia Yu paused for a bit, asking: “Is Coral still hiring teachers? I just graduated and I’m looking for a job.” (TL: Didn’t know how to translate that. If you don’t understand it basically the speaker saying something and then the listener a.s.sociating it with something or gaining something from it that the speaker did not intend)

“You want to go be a teacher at Coral? “Ren Bi said stunned, ” Forget it bro, look at me, do you still want to enter this muddy water?”

Xia Yu said in his heart who wants to compare themselves to an old hoodlum like yourself, I’m still very pure, his mouth saying, “No problem, as long as the salary is high.”

“Hm… I see, how about when I quit I recommend you to the princ.i.p.al to replace me, I have some relations with him, if it works or not will depend on you luck. Oh right, what’s your major? I teach j.a.panese, do you know j.a.panese?”

Xia Yu smile saying: “I learned Chinese, although I know a lot of other languages, j.a.panese isn’t a problem for me.” (Chinese as in the language, poems, some history, culture, etc.)

“Oh? Also a language genius? You wouldn’t happened to have learned all the languages from the 8 country alliance?” (TL: Some kind of thing that lasted from 1900-1901 that contained, Britain, USA, France, Russia, Italy, Germany, Australia and j.a.pan)

Xia Yu smiled, ” I think it doesn’t stop there.”

Ren Bi’s heart filled with disdain, young ones these days don’t know how high the sky is only knowing how to brag. 8 languages, we’ll see at the time when you get toyed with by the students.

He didn’t know that Xia Yu is actually a genius in terms of languages. Don’t say 8 country alliance, even a 38 country alliance isn’t difficult for him. Besides more popular languages like English, French, Spanish, j.a.panese, Korean, Latin etc, he also know some less popular languages like Vietnamese, Hindi, even the languages of some small African countries. Not only that, he also knows the dialects of a bunch of different places, like j.a.pan’s Kansai dialect he can speak at will, what he said was already overly modest.

The two people walked out, Ren Bi also talking about the situation of the school. Coral Academy is a private posh school the gives daily salaries. Its high school and university are the most famous, especially the university, there is a saying south Coral north Northern. And Coral is also very famous for another thing, messing with teacher. Even if teachers are treated very well, but every year it still has the country’s highest quit rate.

“It’s not all problem students, the majority are still pretty good, it’ll have to look at your luck. If you end up with one or two in your cla.s.s, you can only carefully serve them, enduring for those few years, those students…” Ren Bi shook his head and sighed, “Even if you treat them like kings and they don’t mess with you, but if they cause problems, in the end it’s still the teacher that has to take responsibility? It’s tough, tough I say…”

Listening to Ren Bi list some examples, Xia Yu couldn’t help but feel a chill. The students right now are a lot worse that his time, some can even be described as lawless. Although he did not have any thoughts of retreating, not mentioning that now he has special abilities, even before, he would likewise move forward without looking back — The key is that he’s broke, when a man is poor his ambition  is not far reaching, poverty stifles ambition…

Sending away Ren Bi, exchanging contact information, Xia Yu immediately went to a small shop and bought a pack of the cheapest cigarettes, taking out three sticks. (TL: Are cigarettes measured by sticks?)

Because after satisfyingly flying, a sentence appeared in his head, “Smoke 3 cigarettes at the same time, the smoke has to go a circle in the lungs before blowing it out, time limit: 1 hour.” And then a timer appeared in head ticking down, not disappearing, constantly reminding him.

After splitting with Ren Bi, he immediately went to a small shop and bought the cheapest pack of cigarettes. Because of the conversation he didn’t have much time left. He squatted by the road opening the pack, putting 3 cigarettes into his mouth, inhaling and exhaling, inhaling and exhaling, after some time the 3 cigarettes reached tho b.u.t.t, but the timer in his head was still counting down… Looks like if wouldn’t work unless he strictly followed the requirements.

Xia Yu could only take out another 3 cigarettes and throw them into his mouth lighting them, this time heavily breathing in, all of it entering his lungs, and then he felt a strong stimulation, starting to violently cough, tears and snot dripping. Even so, he had to continue stuffing smoke into his lungs, or else this time wouldn’t count and he would’ve suffered for nothing.

Finally making the timer in his head disappear, Xia Yu was already coughing as if about to go see Yan w.a.n.g. Before he thought he was lucky thinking that flying once had such an easy condition. Isn’t it just smoking 3 cigarettes, which is why he took his time, who knew that he would be coughing to the point that his lungs almost started bleeding. (TL: Chinese king of h.e.l.l)

He didn’t know how the thing in his head determined the price. If it was a smoker, he’d probably spend the rest of his days randomly flying in the sky. Although, the price is different every time, the same ability wouldn’t have the same price each time, so there wasn’t much of a comparison. All in all, if you want to have fun, you have to first be prepared to make sacrifices…

At this time a couple of what looked like b.u.ms walked past. Seeing Xia Yu smoke 3 cigarettes at once and coughing like he had some kind of disease, the eyes of one of them lit up heading over: “Want some powder bro, I’ve got some here, the quality is guaranteed.” He thought of Xia Yu as some kind of addict who used cigarettes as a replacement without powder.

Xia Yu didn’t have the energy to pay attention to him, waving his hands signaling that he didn’t want any.

Yet that person didn’t give up, “Don’t worry, who around here doesn’t know that my prices are the fairest, a lot of students get it from me.”

Xia Yu difficultly said: “I’m a teacher.”

Who knew that person became even more energized, “Teachers are good, teachers even have discounts, I…”

Xia Yu finally couldn’t help but interrupt him: “I don’t want any, leave.”

That person that initially had a smiling face like a salesman instantly changed, laughing coldly, “f.u.c.k, acting like that, let’s see how you come begging me later.” Finis.h.i.+ng he spit on the ground, swaggering away with his buddies, even able to hear their mocking laughs, “Inhaling powder and still pretending, f.u.c.k, that chick from last time was pretty tough, in the end she still ended up begging me for more, hehe…”

Xia Yu finally calmed down, glancing in the direction that the couple of b.u.ms left, thinking even near a posh school, this kind of disorderly stuff didn’t lessen at all…
