Chapter 160: A Good Class Monitor (1)
Yet another night of bitter cultivation passed.
The next day. 6th of August.
Early in the morning, Su Yu arrived at the ordinary male dormitory. With a gentle smile on his face, he knocked on a door.
"Student Hu Ming, you have class this morning. Don\'t forget it."
Hu Ming, who just got out of bed, was stupefied. Only after a while did he recall that this was his new class monitor. He suddenly felt overwhelmed by the favor shown to him.
"Class Monitor, why are you here personally?"
This was a high-high genius! A person like this was here personally to remind him about his class? Was the sun rising from the west today?
Su Yu flashed an honest smile and said, "I checked yesterday. A class monitor needs to remind everyone so that nobody will forget about their classes. Therefore, I woke up earlier to remind all of you. But I was worried that you guys were still asleep so I waited until there was some noise before knocking on the door."
"Class Monitor...this is too embarrassing. You don\'t need to remind us anymore. We will remember to attend the classes."
The others in the same room also woke up one after another.
Even those without a class today also said, "Class Monitor, you should sleep more. It is so embarrassing to have you wake up so early for us."
"That\'s fine."
Su Yu smiled, "As long as you guys don\'t find me annoying, everything is fine. If any of you want to request a leave of absence, feel free to call my communicator in advance. I will get it approved. Here in the academy, skipping too many classes will leave a bad record in your profile. Alright, I\'m going to check on the others now. See you..."
Su Yu waved his hand and headed toward a different room. He knocked on one door after another, reminding his classmates about their classes. He had already received the timetable from the instructor the day before.
Since the time for the morning classes was approaching, many people were already awake. Some of the students from the junior class asked in astonishment, "Is that the class monitor of the intermediate class?"
"Yeah. He\'s a high-high genius."
"Why isn\'t he in the senior class?"
"His willpower is not strong enough. But he\'s a ninth-stage Source Opening cultivator with a Divine Character. He\'s a genius from Nanyuan."
"He\'s actually here personally to remind you guys about your classes?"
...
All the students were stunned. This class monitor...was too responsible!
Su Yu did not care about the crowd. After reminding all his classmates, he stood in the corridor and said, "As for the students with classes in the afternoon, don\'t forget it as well. I\'ll come here again to remind everyone. Be sure to carry the correct books to the classes..."
Su Yu had an honest and silly expression on his face as he said, "I come from a small city, Nanyuan. I don\'t know a lot of things. If everyone thinks that I\'m doing anything wrong, please tell me directly. I can accept any criticism."
From the crowd, Liu Wu, the student who was fawning on Su Yu yesterday, smiled and said, "Class Monitor, you\'re too responsible. In truth, most class monitors will only be going through the motions to earn some merit points. You don\'t need to come here all the time. You should be focusing on growing your willpower and enter the senior class instead."
Su Yu smiled, "It\'s fine. It\'s no trouble. I know too little so I am hoping that everyone here can give me more guidance in the future."
Liu Wu laughed heartily and said, "You\'re too humble, Class Monitor."
After a short chat, the students with morning class followed Su Yu to the classroom. There was a large group of them. At least 200 out of 600 intermediate class students had been assigned to the morning class. And out of that, around 100 of them were males.
Su Yu had not bothered going to the female dormitory to remind the female schoolmates. Instead, he had Liu Yue help him with that.
On their way, they encountered the group of female students. He hurriedly said, "Hello, everyone. I am Su Yu. It is not convenient for me to visit the female dorms so I have to look for my old schoolmate Liu Yue to help me with it. If any of you were disturbed by that, please accept my apologies."
"Class Monitor, you\'re too polite."
A girl smiled happily and said, "I have never seen such a responsible class monitor before. The fellows living beside us were all stunned this morning. After all, not everyone can get these morning call services."
"Yeah, you\'re too polite, Class Monitor. You\'re so talented yet so humble. I feel so inferior standing beside you."
...
Everyone spoke one after another. The atmosphere was cozy and warm. For ordinary students like them, genius students felt incredibly far away. If a genius was to act arrogantly before them, that was to be expected. Nobody would be bothered.
But if a genius was to lower himself and converse with them like a friend, then they would instinctively be attracted to the genius. They would even feel somewhat overwhelmed by the favor being shown to you.
If even a high-high genius like Su Yu was so friendly, who were they to be prideful? It wasn\'t like any of them was a freak.
And they were unlike the high-tier students who believed that Su Yu did not deserve his high-high evaluation. For these ordinary students, even a high-low student was worthy of their admiration.
With a friendly smile on his face, Su Yu thought to himself that he had finally turned into the type of people he hated most. This was all Liu Hong\'s fault! He would survive this month before teaching Liu Hong a lesson! Look at all these students around him. They were so innocent. Were they not aware that only villains would smile all the time?
In the crowd, Kong Cheng impatiently grumbled, "Are we going to class or not? It\'s getting late."
Su Yu had a sharp ear. He looked straight at Kong Cheng and said, "My apologies for wasting everyone\'s time! Kong Cheng, I know there is a small misunderstanding between us in Nanyuan. I sincerely hope that we can forget about it. We are fellow classmates. In the future, we might even be comrade-in-arms."
Su Yu solemnly said, "I apologize for what I said In Nanyuan. I shouldn\'t have said all that and caused all of you to be punished. I had thought that you were there to create trouble for me. That was why I was so agitated back then. I\'m truly sorry."
Kong Cheng\'s face turned red.
Nearby, a student who knew about the incident in Nanyuan said, "Class Monitor, why apologize to him? These people went to Nanyuan to steal your slots. Did they think that nobody knows about that? How shameless. You\'re still trying to create trouble for the class monitor now?"
"That\'s right. A bunch of middle-tier students actually went to Nanyuan to steal their slots. Serves you right! You guys deserve the punishment!"
...
Quite a lot of these students were aware of what had happened in Nanyuan. Those students had gone to Nanyuan to steal Su Yu\'s slot, but they only ended up proving to everyone how useless they were.
And when they heard Su Yu apologizing for that, these people immediately stepped forth to speak for him. Some of the students who had no idea about the Nanyuan incident started asking around. When they learned about what had happened, they all looked at Kong Cheng with disdain. Shameless!
Why did the class monitor apologize to him? Someone like this should just be beaten to death. Kong Cheng\'s face was flushed red. There were too many people here for him to say anything. If he tried arguing, he would probably be reduced into a pariah of the class.
Su Yu hurriedly said, "Don\'t be like that, everyone. We\'re all here to grow, learn, and strengthen ourselves. We are not here to create grudges. Class is starting. Everyone, let\'s go."
The large group headed toward the classroom together. As for Kong Cheng, everyone was ignoring him. He was a shameless bastard. Who would want to associate themselves with him? Behind the group, Kong Cheng clenched his teeth in fury.
What had he said earlier? He had barely said anything! Why did all that happen? Su Yu...it was that bastard\'s scheme!
Kong Cheng would never believe that Su Yu was such a friendly person. He still remembered how sharp Su Yu\'s tongue was back in Nanyuan. With a few words, he had been able to easily turn the crowd against them. He was definitely not such an honest and kind person!
Screw him! Kong Cheng wasn\'t going to buy that act! At that moment, Kong Cheng felt like he alone was awake in a world of dreamers. He wanted to loudly shout that everyone shouldn\'t be deceived by Su Yu, but he knew that it would be pointless.
These students weren\'t actually that stupid. It did not matter to them if Su Yu was really so kind or not. He was a high-high student. Since he was willing to show you respect, you would only be turned into a pariah like Kong Cheng if you started shouting that it was all an act.
Would you only be happy if Su Yu were to look at you with disdain? No matter what, Su Yu was still a class monitor. Everyone still needed to go through him for leave applications and other matters. There was no need to offend him for no reason.
...
Not far away.
Wu Lan was dumbfounded. What was going on? Why was that fellow so popular? Hundreds of people were going to class together with him. She was completely stunned. After a while, she shook her head and snorted.
She raised her head haughtily and looked around. Excellent, there was nobody around her. So what if she was alone? What was so great about friends? She did not care! She disdained associating herself with weaklings! Su Yu was too childish!
With her head held high, she stepped forward. But as she walked, sadness crept into her heart. Why was there nobody going to class with her? Why were there so many people going to class with Su Yu?
...
A lot of people had witnessed that scene.
On the top floor of the lecture block.
Liu Hong was looking down from the window. When he looked at Su Yu, he smiled.
"Interesting. Truly interesting. Is he really so simple and honest? Or is he faking all this?"
The most treacherous person would often appear the most guileless! If Su Yu had looked for him to complain about the position, he would actually feel relieved and look down on Su Yu more.
But Su Yu was actually silently carrying out his duties. He was performing remarkably well. He did not seem to care that all those menial tasks would get in the way of his cultivation. He had easily built a positive image for himself among his classmates.
Everyone viewed him as an honest and kind person. In that case, what sort of person was Liu Hong? After all, he was the one bullying the honest and kind student. He was most definitely a villain!
Liu Hong laughed and muttered, "If you\'re really faking this...you should have picked me as your teacher instead."
A short while later, someone knocked on his door.
"Enter."
"Teacher!"
Lin Yao walked in. A haughty expression could be seen on his young face. He was a high-high genius.
Although the Lin Family was not as powerful as the Wu and Hu Families, it was still a large and powerful family. They had Cloudbreach cultural researchers and Cloudbreach warriors in their family. This was not a family to be underestimated.
"Teacher, I don\'t feel like attending the basic classes anymore. I already learned all the basics at home."
Liu Hong turned around and smiled, "It is always a good thing to build a stronger foundation. You only need to spend an hour or two on it each day."
"Teacher, that would get in the way of my cultivation." Lin Yao frowned and said, "Teacher, I am in the process of opening my acupoints. My main goal is the Great Strength Realm, not these basic lessons."
Liu Hong smiled. Was Lin Yao the student or was he the student here? Lin Yao looked fine without any comparison, but the moment Liu Hong compared Lin Yao with Su Yu, he felt like he had just accepted a fool as his student.
Su Yu needed to spend at least five hours per day on classes yet he had not uttered a single word of complaint. How would an hour or two a day get in the way of Lin Yao’s cultivation? Did he cultivate 24 hours per day?
Liu Hong did not get angry. He softly said, "How long do you need to reach the Great Strength Realm?"
"No more than two months." Lin Yao declared proudly, "Teacher, I plan to break through in the secret grotto. If I hadn\'t been waiting for the grotto, I would have broken through long ago."
"Two months?" Liu Hong nodded, "Have you prepared your body forging blood essence?"
Lin Yao was stunned. This was why he was here today. Had Liu Hong not prepared the blood essence for him?
Liu Hong said, "I know why you\'re here. I had actually prepared the blood essence before, but...sigh. The black market was raided several times recently. The blood essence I had someone smuggle in had all been seized by the academy. I won\'t be able to get enough blood essence for you anytime soon."
"Teacher, this..." Lin Yao started to get anxious, "What should I use when I reach the Great Strength Realm?"
"Don\'t worry. Wait a bit." Liu Hong smiled, "You can still forge your body even at the ninth-stage Great Strength Realm. I\'ll try to think of something for you. If I really have no choice, I\'ll try to apply for some from the faculty head. You\'re a genius. How can we let something like blood essence get in the way of your cultivation? If even that doesn\'t work..."
Liu Hong continued with a toying tone, "Hasn\'t Bai Feng gotten his hands on 100 drops of mountainbreak bull blood essence recently? Try to think of a way to get the blood essence from his student, Su Yu."
"Su Yu..." Lin Yao frowned, "That fake genius?"
"Fake genius?"
"Everyone in class is calling him that. There was an incident during the examination in Nanyuan. That was how he got a high-high evaluation. Otherwise, he would probably only be a high-low student."
"Never look down on anyone..." Liu Hong smiled and waved his hand, "You may leave. Since you don\'t want to attend the basic classes, so be it. Cultivate hard."
"I know, Teacher."
Lin Yao retreated from the room.
After Lin Yao left, Liu Hong frowned and muttered, "Trash. If it wasn\'t for the fact that your Lin Family is rich, you wouldn\'t have been able to become my student."
So what if Lin Yao was a high-high student? Growing up in a rich family, he had no lack of source qi liquid and willpower texts. He had been tutored in numerous languages since young. He was a ninth-stage Source Opening cultivator while his willpower was at the Mental Tempering Stage. He had also formed a Divine Character and mastered over 30 languages…
If he couldn\'t even get a high-high evaluation with all those advantages, he might as well retire from cultivation. A high-high student with such an advantage actually dared to look down on a high-high student from Nanyuan? Even a high-low student from Nanyuan was worthy of admiration!
Liu Hong shook his head. Fortunately, he had not planned to use his students to deal with Bai Feng. Otherwise...he would be the one to suffer. He would probably end up having to spend all his time pulling his students out of trouble.
...
Classroom.
Su Yu was attentively listening to the instructor. This was a language class. The language of a marine demon beast was being taught. This wasn\'t one of the 20 languages he knew.
"When we talk about the seas, we generally refer to the seas within the Human Realm. In truth, there is a massive sea in the Allheaven Battlefield as well. That sea is known as the Sea of Stars."
The instructor was an experienced and knowledgeable old man. He was speaking eloquently to the class.
"The Sea of Stars isn\'t that well-known in the Human Realm. Most of us have only heard of the name Allheaven Battlefield. In truth, the Sea of Stars is extremely well-known among the elites. And in the middle of the Sea of Stars is an extremely famous place. That place is known as the Luminous Domain Mansion."
The old instructor smiled, "Have any of you heard this name before?"
Almost half the students in the class were staring at him blankly. Some of them seemed to have heard about that place before. A longing look covered their eyes.
/p>
The old instructor said, "Some of you must have heard of it before from your elders or teachers. That is a place where the brightest individuals of the myriad realms gather. Some of you might have the chance to go there one day.
"Three years later, 20 elites will be chosen from Great Xia. These elites will head to the Luminous Domain Mansion. There, they will face the elites of the myriad races. They will either rise to prominence or lose their lives. The weakest cultivators there will be at the Skysoar Realm. Most of the cultivators there will be in the Cloudbreach Realm. There, the elites of the myriad races will gather and explore the mysteries of the Luminous Domain Mansion. That is a place many longed to go."
The old instructor was straying off topic, but nobody interrupted him.
One of the students asked, "Teacher, will Mountainsea experts be there as well?"
"Not really." The instructor smiled, "That is a place for young elites. For the human race, we won\'t send anyone over 40 there. 30 would be the optimal age. As for the myriad races, they calculate their age differently but after adjustment, they will also be sending young elites equivalent to humans between 30 to 40 years old."
The old instructor ended the topic and returned to the lesson, "Forget about that. Most of us will not have the chance to step foot on the Allheaven Battlefield\'s sea. Today, we will be focusing on the demon beasts of the human seas..."
"There are three main seas in the Human Realm. To the east is the Rising Sky Sea. To the west is the Falling Sky Sea. And to the south is the Limitless Sea."
