Chapter 542 - Ill Be Your Teacher (2/2)

Roland found a public bike outside the hospital and rode it all the way back to the saber arts club.

The saber arts club was in a strange atmosphere at this moment.

More than twenty students were gathered. They pointed at the condensed blood on the ground and talked, some surprised, some gloating, and some simply scornful.

Of course, more than half of them looked worried.

They were all ill at ease!

That was understandable. Their teacher was already gravely wounded. Could he still teach them saber arts?

After Roland arrived at the field, many students found him and immediately gathered around him, asking about Qi Shaoqiu’s condition.

Hearing that Qi Shaoqiu was all right for now, they were greatly relieved.

After all, they were all acquaintances, and people tended to hope that others were safe as long as their interests didn’t conflict.

However, some people always thought differently.

“Senior Brother…” A man around nineteen years old shouted in a queer voice. “Master Qi was heavily wounded. Even if he makes a full recovery, I don’t think he can teach us anymore with a severed arm. Can you ask Night Tide Sands if we can have a refund of our tuition fees?”

“Qi Shaoqiu’s arm has been reattached. He will probably be back to teach you in one to two months.” Roland looked around and added, “Until then, I’ll be your teacher.”

Many students were relieved.

They had been studying saber arts here for a long time, so they had all seen Roland sparring with Qi Shaoqiu and knew that Roland was stronger than Qi Shaoqiu at this point.

Naturally, they were happy that Roland was willing to take over the teacher’s job.

However, a third of the students weren’t aware of that.

After all, Roland had barely come to the saber arts club in the recent half-year.

He had spent most of his time practicing the Daoists’ Nourishment of Life at home to build up his mental power.

Even if he did come, he was only here for Night Tide Sands’ breakfast. He only watched his friends exercise with each other, and he barely went to the field anymore. So, the new students didn’t know exactly what he was capable of.

People could do all kinds of things because of ignorance. This third of students began to grumble.

“We know you’re a student just like us. Why are you being so pretentious? Do we have to pay tuition fees to you too?”

“We’re told that you’re even stronger than Master Qi. Then why didn’t you start a saber arts club of your own? Are you staying here because of Night Tide Sands?” “I want to quit. Can I ask for a refund?”

The six men challenged Roland by saying that.

They surrounded Roland, not exactly because they wanted to beat him up, but because they wanted to look more intimidating.

Hearing what they said, the students who didn’t want to quit before were thinking to ask for a refund and leave too.

Roland glanced around at the six students and said, “You’re new here, you can get a full refund. However, we’ll charge you for your equipment. After all, it costs money to make all the equipment.”

“How much is the equipment?” A young man took a pull of his cigarette and then exhaled the smoke, before he asked disrespectfully, “It doesn’t happen to be exactly the amount of the tuition fees, so that you don’t need to give us any money back, right?”

“Not very much. Just one thousand.” Roland smiled. “Some of you paid by installments. You should know how much money you can get back.”

Thanks to Roland’s suggestion, the saber arts club now had different plans and accepted monthly installments. The students could pay the tuition fees over six, twelve, or thirty months; they didn’t have to pay all at once like before.

“I’d like a refund right now. Can I?” the smoking guy asked with a smile. “Three of us have paid in full. The other four have paid for several months too. Together, we’ve probably already paid 100,000 yuan. Do you have that much money?”

Roland smiled. “Of course I do. Then, are you sure you want a refund?”

“I certainly am.” The smoking young man blew a ring of smoke. “This miaodao technique is absolutely useless. He was stabbed without being able to put up any resistance.” “That’s because he was ambushed. In an open battle… not just two people, even the six of you couldn’t have been a match for Qi Shaoqiu.”

The smoking young man sneered. He crossed his arms and raised one of his hands that was holding the cigarette he’d almost finished. “I believe that Master Qi can defeat six ordinary people, but he’s in the hospital now. You’re the one teaching us, and I don’t believe that you can beat six!”

“Let’s try it.” Roland smiled.

“Let’s.” The young man with a cigarette smiled. “But I don’t use miaodao. I want a straight sword. Do you have any in this place?”

Roland was stunned at first. Then he smiled happily as if he had seen prey. “It’s in the warehouse. Let’s put on wooden armor before the match.”

“Are you afraid of being hurt by us?” asked the smoking young man.

“I’m afraid that you’ll be maimed.”

Looking at the confidence, if not arrogance, on Roland’s face, the young man suddenly didn’t feel very good.

The other students were delighted to watch the drama.

About fifteen minutes later, six men wailed and writhed on the cement floor.

The wooden saber could be very painful, even though they were wearing armor.

The other students looked at Roland in admiration. Those who were thinking to quit all dropped the idea.

The few people spent fourteen minutes putting on the armor, selecting weapons, and warming up.

It took Roland only one minute to beat them to the ground.

The saber was fast and heavy, but Roland didn’t even break a sweat.

It was definitely a bargain to learn from such a master!

Why on earth should they ask for a refund?
