Chapter 108 - Prepare to Teach (1/2)

Su Ping arrived at the main door of the building and saw a middle-aged teacher with a really big body build looking at him.

“Mister Su!” The man’s eyes brightened up upon seeing him coming. “There you are. The vice princ.i.p.al’s been waiting for a while.” “He sent someone to pick me up here? Oh, ahem! Sorry, I’m not familiar with the directions. It took me some time.”

“Don’t worry about that, you’ll get better after a few more visits!” Feng Yanjing posed a friendly smile while carefully inspecting the young man he was looking at.

If not for Dong Mingsong and Luo Guxue’s “testimonies,” he would never believe that a boy who had yet to reach his 20s could kill a Magical Corpse Beast, an upper eighth-rank Astral Pet. Maybe it was another pet who finished the kill, and Su Ping might or might not be its master. But being able to control a powerful pet was already impressive. Someone so young who could control a seventh-rank pet was a miracle by itself. Not to mention that the “skeleton” was likely of the ninth rank, according to the witnesses.

Feng Yanjing looked more carefully and found nothing other than cheap clothes and unkempt manners from Su Ping. Could someone like this be the “extraordinary genius” everyone was talking about?

“Come, follow me.” Feng Yanjing looked away.

Either way, Su Ping somehow had become well-respected by the vice princ.i.p.al of the academy. This alone told Feng Yanjing that he should act carefully.

“Right after ya.” Su Ping nodded and parked his bike, using a chain to lock it with the guard rail along the stairs.

Feng Yanjing saw it with twitching lips and began leading the way.

The main elevator of the building conveniently took them to the top floor, where Dong Mingsong’s office was located. Feng Yanjing gently knocked on the door, waiting for Dong Mingsong’s answer, and gave Su Ping a “this way” gesture. Su Ping nodded and entered the room, in which Dong Mingsong was already waiting with a big smile.

“Have you decided to join the league, my boy?” Compared to Su Ping’s lessons, the old princ.i.p.al was more concerned about the other matter.

Su Ping tilted his head. “I said I’m not going to join, Mister Dong. I don’t have the time for it.”

Dong Mingsong could see that Su Ping had never given it a second thought.

“*sigh* My word… Such a great opportunity missed.”

Su Ping wanted to get to the point. “We’ll talk about our schedule, right? Should I give the students a lesson today?”

Dong Mingsong shook his head and poured two cups of tea. “Now, I never doubted your strength, Mister Su. However, being strong and teaching your strength to others are completely different. I plan to a.s.sign you to the first-years. Compared to their seniors, these new students are easier to handle. What do you say?”

Su Ping knew that Dong Mingsong didn’t believe he had what it took to keep more “rowdy” students under control, though he wasn’t going to argue. “It’s fine. I would still give them two lessons per week, right?” “That’s what we’ll do.”

“All right.”

Dong Mingsong seemed glad that Su Ping agreed to teach that soon. “We shall do some extra preparation work since you’re here. I’ll tell the other teachers to inform your students of your arrival. Since students in this place are usually too busy to check the website, most of them still have no idea that they have a new teacher.”

Su Ping nodded. Not his problem.

Dong Mingsong saw his careless look and added, “Just like ordinary teachers, advanced teachers might have their salary altered depending on their performance. If your cla.s.s is full without a single dropout, you get another thousand professor credits as a bonus. Or five hundred, if less than three students abandon your course. If more than ten students go absent, ten points will be deducted from your base payout for each quitter. A hundred points at most.

“This is to prevent teachers from slacking off on their jobs. You shouldn’t worry about this, however, as lessons presented by advanced teachers are always popular among students. You may see one or two untaken seats, but that’s very rare.”
