Chapter 349 - A Teachers Responsibility (2/2)
”Don't you think this is going too far?” Xiu finally inquired with slight hesitation on her expression as Nik turned on his heels and grinned, ”Not at all! In fact, the defeat of the family heads of Glory City...
Doesn't that sound like a good conversation over a cup of wine?”
Nik then pointed at the uproar he created behind his back and nailed Xiu with his gaze, ”They certainly seem willing to pour me a cup of wine. When I knock on your family's door, I'll feel satisfied if you host me well!”
While Shen Xiu kept a calm exterior, a part of her livened up. Meanwhile, as she thought that her nephew would finally object to Nik's infuriating comments, Shen Yue retained a casual expression as if he was unaffected by Nik's words. After his personal counseling, Shen Yue's behavior had taken a turn for better. He became focused, and the luxuries that came with the title— Genius of the Sacred Family— failed to move him. With his arms crossed, Shen Yue kept looking at Nik, engrossed by the charm of a man willing to upturn the city and felt slightly enlightened.
At this time, Ning'er couldn't help but raise her hands as she inquired the question that eluded her, ”Teacher... why? To go to such great lengths...
What is the motive?”
Nik focused on Ning'er. His real motive was to complete his mission. That was all. He did not feel the need to trigger a revolution or anything that can only appear in the minds of the noble existences. Still, keeping his appearance as a teacher was of un utmost importance.
”Demonstration,” Nik replied calmly, ”To demonstrate that the education of you kids is of the highest priority. The more educated and resourceful you all are, the brighter is the future of the city. The old will be replaced, and I am merely taking the first of many steps.”
Nei Li felt like interjecting that Nik's words resembled a fool's errand, but strangely, even the three-hundred-year-old reincarnator felt slightly attracted to the idea. While Nik and Nei Li kept cutting each other's paths and the fact that the boy did not believe Nik with Ziyun's future, Nik was a darn good teacher that took his job seriously. The fact that Nik could draw a hardly accurate Inscription already painted Nik as a determined and responsible man.
'Maybe I should help him during his fight with the Sacred Family... if he actually decides to challenge them.'
Nei Li decided as Ning'er nodded and sat down. Her father was the family head of the Winged Dragon Family, and even if the dragon martial spirits were hailed as one of the stronger spirits, the overall talent in cultivation stunned their growth. Even her father was merely a Rank 4 Spirit Ancestor with four spirit rings.
”Alright, that was a wonderful tangent, but,” Nik grinned maliciously and picked the stick of chalk once again and then walked towards the board, ”We're gonna start with the advance inscription marks of the wind element.”
His grin was reciprocated with distressed groans as one of the girls he helped out financially and grew closer to rolled her eyes and spoke with discontent, ”Teach, instead of all this, give us a world lesson! A fun one!”
Her words garnered voices of approval from her classmates as Nik thought for a while before shaking his head with a smile, ”Someday else. I promise. But now, we all are going to focus on these patterns, all right?”
Finally, under Nik's relentless persuasion, the class agreed to study before they were brought to the martial field to train.
The rest of Nik's day passed uneventfully. It was only Yin's surprise when Nik decided to for even more advance materials to study did something different happened in Nik's day.
