Chapter 18 Shrek Academy Seeks a Son-in-Law? I'm Not Aquaman!
"Attend class!"
Mu Jin put down her lesson plan, her clear voice echoing throughout the classroom.
She was a woman in her thirties with sharp eyes, wearing a standard Shrek teacher's uniform.
"Hello, teacher!"
"Please sit down, students. I am Mujin, your homeroom teacher for the next year."
Her gaze swept across the entire class, and then she delivered a standard Shrek speech.
"At Shrek Academy, we cultivate monsters, not hothouse flowers. The freshman assessment will be held in three months. Those who fail or rank low will be eliminated."
However, Mu Jin was more lenient with the other class than they were, at least she didn't kick them out right away.
Then came the self-introduction segment, and Ning Tian's cultivation level of thirty-one naturally caused a stir among the audience.
"Level 31? Support class?!"
"A Soul Master under twelve years old? And a support-type one at that?!"
"My God... is this something a human can cultivate?"
Countless gazes focused on the blonde girl, some with shock, some with envy, and some with a touch of bitter resentment.
Support-type Soul Masters cultivate much slower than other Soul Masters, let alone a Soul Venerable who is not even twelve years old.
The Nine-Colored Goddess from ten thousand years ago is far inferior to Ning Tian at this age, but times have changed.
Ning Tian sat down calmly, as if all of this was something he had expected.
Jiang Yi then stood up as well, only stating his cultivation level and name, mentioning his martial spirit only briefly.
"Level 28 Power Attack Type Battle Soul Master"
Although not as explosive as Ning Tian's, it was still enough to attract the attention of many people.
"Ning Tian, Jiang Yi!"
After everyone had introduced themselves, Mu Jin called out two people.
"You two have the highest cultivation levels, so you're tentatively appointed as the class monitor and vice-monitor of our Class Nine. Does anyone else have any objections?"
She didn't intend to discuss it and directly decided on the position.
Competition is good, but orderly competition is effective, and the two of them are role models for the whole class.
"No!"
The crowd shouted in unison.
One was a Soul Master, and the other was close to a Soul Master, while most of the students in the class were below level 20, so naturally no one objected.
"That's good! However, the position of class monitor isn't fixed. If you're interested, you can challenge them."
"Since Ning Tian is a support-type Soul Master, the challenge will be a two-on-two format. You can choose for yourselves..."
Mu Jin added another sentence, then her expression turned serious. She slapped her lesson plan and looked at everyone with a stern gaze.
"Next up, the first lesson of the new semester!"
"running!!!"
……
In Shrek Square, Tang San's statue stands tall, with a fountain beneath him spraying water that reflects a rainbow in the sunlight.
The students of Class 9 were leisurely jogging around the square.
Unlike other classes, Mu Jin only required them to run twenty laps, but with one additional condition: they had to be in pairs, holding hands.
Most students enroll alone, a requirement that forces them to actively get to know their classmates.
"Thank you, Jiang Yi!"
A girl with light green hair held Jiang Yi's hand, her face full of gratitude.
Her voice was soft, like a marshmallow, with a hint of caution.
She was naturally a bit gentle, and being new to the place, she was also a little socially awkward. By the time she mustered up the courage, everyone else had already found partners.
Just as she stood there alone, feeling somewhat embarrassed, Jiang Yi came over and took the initiative to help her out of the predicament.
"It's no trouble at all! Besides, I look like nobody wants me... We're just in the same boat."
Jiang Yi shrugged and smiled slightly at her.
This kind of sweet and gentle little girl is the easiest to bully. If you kiss her, she'll probably cover her face and roll around on the spot.
"How could this be...?"
Nanmen Yun'er looked incredulous, but her eyes crinkled with laughter, and she couldn't help but feel secretly delighted.
With Jiang Yi's cultivation level so high, there must be many girls willing to be with him. I... I'm the one who got lucky.
"Let's go! We're falling behind!"
Jiang Yi gently squeezed the little girl's hand and quickened his pace.
The hand was large and warm, completely enveloping her small hand. Nanmen Yun'er's heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason, and the tips of her ears quietly flushed pink.
"it is good."
She smiled sweetly and obediently followed Jiang Yi, her steps light and quick, as if she were walking on clouds.
……
Soon, the twenty laps were completed, and upon reaching the finish line, Nammon Yoona reluctantly let go of her hand.
"That concludes the first lesson for today."
Mu Jin clapped her hands, drawing everyone's attention.
"I hope you can remember this feeling... No one can be strong alone. Unity is a must-learn lesson for us at Shrek Academy, just like the Shrek Seven Devils back in the day!"
Mu Jin's voice wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly. Compared to Zhou Yi's forceful approach, she was more adept at using gentler methods.
"clear!"
Everyone nodded in agreement. They hadn't learned anything else in this lesson, but they had truly gained a better understanding of friendship.
Jiang Yi was also impressed by this.
Surprisingly, Shrek Academy still has normal teachers who don't just kick you out right away.
Although Mu Jin is portrayed as a clown in the original work, Jiang Yi seems to have a fairly good impression of her so far.
Of course, if it weren't for that complicated love triangle, Jiang Yi felt his impression would have been even better.
"Okay, get out of class dismissed!"
Mu Jin waved her hand, dismissing everyone.
On the first day of school, she didn't want everyone to be too tired, so she reserved the first few days for everyone to get to know each other.
"Long live the teacher!"
The students from Class 9 cheered and then left in twos and threes.
"See you tomorrow!"
Nanmen Yun'er waved to Jiang Yi before turning and leaving.
"See you tomorrow."
Jiang Yi waved and watched the little girl leave, then slowly walked to the other side of the square.
He has another date.
……
Meanwhile, beside a flower bed, two figures were secretly watching Jiang Yi's departing figure.
"Miss, I think this man is a complete womanizer; he's definitely not a good target! Shall we find someone else?"
Wu Feng withdrew his gaze and turned to Ning Tian to advise him, his tone carrying an almost imperceptible urgency.
Miss's happiness must be overseen by her! Of course, she'll push herself away when she's tired... Waaaaah!!!
"It's alright! It's just normal classmate interaction. I haven't even made a move yet! I'll just mark it as reserve seed number six..."
Ning Tian wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief and gently shook his head.
She was fairly satisfied with Jiang Yi; his looks and talent were both good, and he could definitely be included in her observation list.
She came to Shrek Academy, naturally not just for the sake of studying.
As the young master of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, she would receive even better treatment in the sect than at Shrek Academy.
She's here to be a sea queen, and Shrek Academy, as the number one academy on the entire continent, is the perfect place for her to find a partner.
This is also a tradition of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School: the partner of the sect's heir must be a powerful Soul Master, preferably a strong person from outside the sect.
Such grassroots geniuses with no background are more favored by the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School than those noble sons.
"Understood, Miss."
Wu Feng pouted and reluctantly wrote down Jiang Yi's personal information in the small notebook in his hand.
She disliked this feeling; it was as if she had personally pushed the young lady to someone else.
But she couldn't confess her feelings to her mistress; the sect wouldn't allow it, nor could it accept it. If the two of them were together, her mistress's lineage would die out.
Let's go!
Ning Tian did not notice Wu Feng's unusual behavior. He turned and left with a composed gait and an elegant silhouette.
She had no objection to the arranged marriage; accepting the sect's training and recruiting talent for the sect was only natural.
