Chapter 155: Getting To Know Liu Hong (2)

Inside the head instructor's office.

The head instructor was the instructor that would be in charge of Su Yu and his classmates during their time in the intermediate class. He wasn't a researcher. Rather, he was an old student at the peak of the Mental Tempering Stage.

Su Yu knocked on the door and entered before explaining why he was there. The old man was probably as old as Liu Wenyan. On the table was a nameplate with his name on it: Wang Ming.

Wang Ming spent some time checking Su Yu's profile before looking up at him. He softly said, "Assistant Bai Feng's student?"

"Yes."

"Assistant Liu Hong was the one who made you the class monitor?"

"Yes."

"High-high student who is not in the Mental Tempering Stage..."

"Yeah." Su Yu answered one question after another. The old man frowned and asked, "As the class monitor, you can get three merit points per month. Do you know that?"

"Teacher Liu mentioned that."

"The more you do, the more you can gain. That is the rule of the academy."

The old man spoke in a vague manner, "There is no free lunch. The more you get, the more you'll have to give. The academy would not give you merit points for nothing."

Su Yu's heart thumped.

"Teacher, what are the tasks of a class monitor?"

The old man explained, "There's not a lot to do. Firstly, you have to come to the Education District earlier and take a headcount of the number of students present. Note down the names of the absent students and those on leave and report to me.

"Secondly, you have to stay back after classes and have some of your classmates clean the classroom. You can only leave after they are done cleaning.

"Thirdly, you will serve as the bridge between the students and the instructors. You will be in charge of corresponding with the students about any schedule changes. For example, if an instructor is on leave today, you will need to notify the students before contacting a different instructor for a replacement class.

"Fourthly, you will be in charge of settling the disputes between students. These students are still young and hot-headed. Conflicts can arise easily. As the class monitor, you need to deal with these troubles and ensure that all lessons can be carried out without interruptions.

"Fifthly..."

Strictly speaking, the class monitor did not have heavy responsibilities. But there were a lot of trivial tasks. Understanding dawned on Su Yu. He finally knew why Liu Hong made him the class monitor.

He paled slightly and asked, "Teacher, do you mean that I'll have to attend every single class from now on?"

"Yes. As the class monitor, you need to attend all the classes. You need to arrive early and leave late. For many people, this is a good opportunity. Three merit points are not easy to get. And this is a relatively easy and safe way of getting them."

.

The more Su Yu listened, the more pale he became. He still needed to go to the research center. He also needed to go to the Weaponsmith Faculty. He did not have that much free time. The other students could actually pick the classes they wanted to attend. Attendance was not compulsory for all classes.

But as the class monitor, that did not apply to him. The tasks of a class monitor would stand in the way of his cultivation. He would no longer have time to cultivate in the research center and learn at the Weaponsmith Faculty. He would only have some free time in the evenings. But would Bai Feng not need to rest in the evenings? Would Zhao Li not need to rest? Were they going to wait until late in the evening to teach Su Yu alone?

Su Yu hurriedly asked, "Teacher, if I don't attend all the classes..."

"You'll have your merit points deducted." The old man softly explained, "Apart from that, you will be given a bad evaluation for failing to carry out your responsibilities. For example, you will have lack of discipline, irresponsible, and so on recorded in your profile. All that will be taken into consideration when the academy evaluates your performance. Furthermore, some agencies might even reject you after your graduation due to these remarks in your profile. They would rather accept a weaker cultivator with a cleaner record."

"Teacher..." Su Yu anxiously asked, "Can I resign from this position?"

The old man gave him a deep look before saying, "You didn't refuse during the first class..."

"I did!"

Su Yu was indignant. He did refuse, but Liu Hong had ignored his objection.

"It's too late to say this now." The old man sighed, "This can also be an opportunity for you. For many people, this is an incredible position. Even a high-high student will only get three merit points per month. A high-low student will only get one merit point each month.

"A regular student without a personal teacher actually has a lot of free time after class. These people would want nothing more than to have less free time, to spend more time with the instructors and maybe get some benefits from that.

"Therefore, you need to understand that many of your classmates want the same position. Since Assistant Liu had given you this position, at the very least, you need to appear grateful to him."

The old man wasn't speaking too bluntly. There was a deeper meaning to his words. Being a class monitor was actually a good opportunity. Since Su Yu had not rejected the position on the spot, if he rejected it now, he would be viewed as an ungrateful person.

Of course, the smart ones would be able to see through Liu Hong's scheme. But who would bother saying anything? Not even Bai Feng would have anything to say. Liu Hong had appointed his student a class monitor. That was a position many people desired. It wasn't like he was trying to get Su Yu killed. What could Bai Feng say?

Su Yu gnashed his teeth. He had been tricked!

Sure enough, none of these geniuses should be underestimated. Liu Hong had placed an invisible shackle on him without even breaking a sweat. And he had cluelessly walked right into it.

If he ignored the class monitor tasks and had remarks such as irresponsible and lack of discipline left on his profile, it would accompany him for life. For example, upon joining the military, they wouldn't give him any important tasks after seeing those remarks. He would then need to put a lot more effort to clear that stain from his profile.

"Liu Hong!"

Su Yu cursed.

Liu Hong! That was a far more troublesome opponent than his little brother, Liu He. Su Yu would not forget this! Liu Hong was a seventh-stage Skysoar. Why was he troubling a new student? Was he shameless? What a bastard!

It's fine. Calm down. I won't stay in the intermediate class for long. I'll advance into the senior class soon. Since I can no longer change anything, I'll be patient for now. I won't stay in the intermediate class for more than three months! It would be pointless for me to lose my temper now and look for Liu Hong. That would only make him happier. That bastard! I won't forget this!

Su Yu cursed again and again. What a bastard! Why would a seventh-stage Skysoar like him trouble a nobody like Su Yu? This was simply a loss Su Yu could only swallow silently. Was he supposed to tell everyone that he was too busy to be the class monitor and he did not care about the three merit points?

That might be the truth, but if he mentioned it, he would invite the ire of many people. After calming down, Su Yu forced a smile on his face. This Instructor Wang Ming was probably not Liu Hong's accomplice. Then again, he also definitely wasn't a member of the multiple character faction.

"Teacher, can I know if Assistant Liu Hong has any students?"

Wang Ming gave Su Yu a deep look and smiled, "Yes. He has two of them. One is an old student and the other is a new student. Both of them are in the senior class. The old student has even challenged the Top 100 Ranking before. Naturally, he failed. But I think he can get into it soon.

"As for the new student, he is a high-high student as well. I heard he's on the verge of reaching the Great Strength Realm. He is an outstanding student who is only slightly behind the freaks."

Su Yu exhaled deeply and asked, "Teacher, what are their names?"

"The old student is Yang Sha and the new student is Lin Yao."

Su Yu asked again, "Teacher, is there...uhm...a way for an intermediate class student to challenge a senior class student in the academy? One where the student can kill or cripple the other student without being punished?"

...

Wang Ming sat up straight.

Woah!

He got himself a ruthless student here!

He had still been feeling bad for Su Yu a moment ago. But now...he was starting to reconsider how he viewed Su Yu. How could the only high-high student of Nanyuan in so many years and a student of Bai Feng be a piece of trash?

It was rumored that this student was even taught by Liu Wenyan! Ah...Liu Wenyan! That was the instructor's old schoolmate from over 50 years ago. Back then, Liu Wenyan was akin to a sun among the students. It would seem like an interesting show was about to unfold in the academy.

Wang Ming's interest was piqued as he smiled and explained, "Yes. After the monthly exam, the top three students are allowed to challenge the senior class students. If you win, you can get into the senior class without being in the Mental Tempering Stage.

"That is an option for the more talented students, a way for them to enter the senior class in advance. If you win, you can enter the senior class. If you lose, you'll have to remain in the intermediate class."

Su Yu asked, "Will the challenge be in the form of combat?"

"You can choose combat, or pill making, or talisman crafting, and so on. But this is the Character Faculty. Here, people mainly choose the combat option."

"Teacher, what is Yang Sha's physical cultivation level?"

"Yang Sha is a seventh-stage Great Strength cultivator while Lin Yao is a ninth-stage Source Opening cultivator."

Su Yu continued asking, "Would Lin Yao accept my challenge?"

"That...depends on the student himself. But if they place in the bottom 10 during the monthly exam, they will not be allowed to reject any challenges. As for the other students, they are free to reject all challenges. Lin Yao is a high-high student. It is unlikely that he would place that low."

Su Yu nodded and said nothing else. Rejecting the challenge? How would Lin Yao do so? Their factions didn't get along well. As Liu Hong's student, if he refused the challenge, he would no longer be qualified to be a high-high student.

"Wait and see, Liu Hong!"

Su Yu gnashed his teeth in anger. The monthly examination was 25 days away. On the 1st of next month, he would make Lin Yao suffer. Everyone was starting to view him as a pushover since he was keeping a low profile.

Sure, he couldn't do anything to Liu Hong. He couldn't touch Liu He either. And he couldn't even beat Yang Sha. But he refused to believe that he couldn't do anything to Lin Yao.

Xia Huyou said that I have to be ruthless in the academy. I didn't take his words seriously, but he's right. If I'm not ruthless enough, everyone will think I'm a pushover. Chen Qi came looking for trouble. Liu Hong made my life difficult. Liu He challenged me...

Su Yu exhaled deeply. He was getting angry.

In that case, don't blame me for hitting back! I'll consider myself a piece of trash if I don't whoop Lin Yao's ass in 26 days!

...

Su Yu left the office without looking back. Looking at the departing Su Yu, Wang Ming smiled. He was starting to look forward to the future. Interesting. A great show would definitely unfold after the next monthly examination.

"Su Yu...Lin Yao..."

"Bai Feng...Liu Hong..."

Wang Ming smiled. He had been an instructor for many years and it had been rather boring at times. These fights between the youngsters could be quite an entertaining sight to behold.
