Flander sighed at Qin Ming’s determined expression and patted his shoulder. “Why must you come out with us? We ourselves are in troubled times now.”
“Dean, Shrek will always be my pride.” Seeing Flander’s helpless look, Qin Ming knew Flander had agreed. His serious expression relaxed a little, and a sincere curve appeared at the corner of his mouth. He changed the subject, “Dean, what should we do next?”
Flander shook his head, and Master looked bitter. “I’m sorry, this time it’s all my fault.”
“Xiao Gang, it’s not your fault. A blessing in disguise, as the saying goes. From Xue Beng and the others’ performance, we can see the vision within Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Even if this conflict wasn’t brought up today, it would have erupted sooner or later.” Flander seemed to have a clearer perspective now.
Tang Sui’s gaze shifted slightly, and she spoke up to break the somber atmosphere. “Dean, Teacher, why don’t we go to the notice board in Heaven Dou City first and see if there are any academies recruiting teachers and students? As long as we find a formally registered academy that can qualify for the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament, wouldn’t that suffice?”
The others looked at Tang Sui, whose eyes were curved with a gentle smile.
Meeting their gazes, Tang Sui blinked and said, half-jokingly, “Actually, with our strength and talent, other academies should be scrambling to snatch us up like hotcakes~”
Flander saw Tang Sui’s demeanor, his eyebrows arched. “Alright, then let’s go check the notice board! Qin Ming, you’re most familiar with Heaven Dou City, you can help us assess which academy has a good reputation that matches its internal atmosphere later.”
Qin Ming smiled and agreed. The group gradually emerged from the gloomy clouds and began to stroll towards the city gates.
With Qin Ming’s participation and analysis, Flander and the others quickly filtered out several unreliable small academies, finally narrowing down their choices to two academies with generally consistent reputations and internal environments.
Flander looked at the lazy Tang Sui in the group, his gaze shifted, and he smiled as he asked Tang Sui, “Sui Sui, checking the notice board was your idea in the first place. How about you choose the academy?”
Tang Sui, who was yawning, looked up in a daze. “Me?”
Flander nodded.
Tang Sui turned her head to look at the Shrek Seven Devils, who were not afraid of trouble and had faces full of “anticipation,” and then at Master and the others, who were silently consenting. She let out a ‘oh ho’ and looked at the two academies they had selected. One of them was a name Tang Sui was familiar with.
She pondered for a second, then suddenly reached into her purple crystal jade bracelet and pulled out a piece of paper and a charcoal pencil.
Under Flander and the others’ puzzled gazes, she wrote the names of the two academies on the paper and then tore it into two pieces with a crisp “click.”
She crumpled them into two balls, held them in her palms as if performing a solemn ritual, shook them, then picked up a paper ball in each hand and looked at Master. “Teacher, left or right?”
Master, who hadn’t expected Tang Sui to choose in such a way, had a flash of helplessness in his eyes, then casually said a choice: “Left.”
Tang Sui spread open her left palm, unfolding the crumpled paper ball. Seeing the words “Lan Ba” on it, she felt a sense of finality.
Indeed, it was this academy.
It seemed that even if she had wanted to choose the other one, the rules would have corrected themselves again, right?
Fortunately, she was clever, otherwise, she might have made a wasted trip to the other academy. Su Dan Novel Network.
“Lan Ba? I remember Lan Ba Academy’s recruitment advertisement was—” Flander turned his head and began to look for the location of this academy’s recruitment advertisement paper. Finally, among a pile of advertisements, he locked onto one:
“Seeking applications: Lan Ba Advanced Spirit Master Academy, due to expansion, is currently seeking the following personnel: Ten Spirit Sects above level forty. Higher spirit power preferred. Upon employment, benefits will be generous. Is this the academy?”
Qin Ming’s eyes revealed understanding. “Although I’m not very clear about Lan Ba Academy’s background, I know that in the previous Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Tournament, in the preliminary selection for the Heaven Dou Capital Circle, students from this academy eliminated Heaven Dou’s reserve team. However, it’s a pity that that batch of students has likely graduated. This time, the new Imperial Dou team is even more outstanding than the last. This time, they’ll be in trouble.”
Flander let out a sound of surprise. Thinking of something, a gleam flashed in his eyes. “I remember you mentioned before, Qin Ming, that this academy only accepts commoners, not nobles, and its atmosphere seems to be quite good, right?”
Qin Ming nodded. “Yes. Therefore, there have been no scandals of students using their status to coerce other students within their academy. Because the students are all from commoner backgrounds, everyone in the academy speaks based on their own strength, and the atmosphere is quite good.”
Flander nodded in satisfaction, adjusted the frame of his glasses. “Then we’ll choose Lan Ba Advanced Spirit Master Academy! We’ll get revenge for the loss we suffered at the Royal Academy!”
Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai and the others, who had suffered greatly under Dugu Bo, clenched their fists, their faces filled with excitement.
...
Lan Ba Advanced Spirit Master Academy was also located in Heaven Dou City. Although its area was not as large as Heaven Dou Royal Academy, its scale was still considerable within the valuable Imperial City.
The group walked to the academy’s recruitment office at the entrance and stated their intentions. The teacher at the recruitment office looked at them with surprise, their gaze falling on the young-looking Tang Sui and the others, their expression somewhat strange. “You… are all here to apply for teaching positions?”
At this age, children could also apply?!
How old did they look?
Flander smiled and shook his head. “No, only us old folks are here to apply for teaching positions. These are our disciples. If we become teachers at your esteemed academy, our disciples will naturally also enter the academy to study.”
Hearing that they were “disciples,” the recruitment teacher, who had mistakenly thought that Dai Mubai and the others corresponded to different teachers, had a flash of understanding. They gestured to the side. “Please follow me. Both applying for teaching positions and joining the academy to study require tests.”
Flander and the others had no objections. If they were accepted so easily, they would actually doubt their choice.
Thus, the Shrek group followed the recruitment personnel into the academy.
Under the shocked expressions of the three assessment teachers, everyone except Master met the academy’s requirements, all of them being powerhouses at the Spirit Emperor level or above.
Never expecting that they would witness such a thrilling scene one day, the recruitment teachers and everyone else took a deep breath. The leading assessment teacher of Lan Ba Academy even respectfully cupped his hands and bowed to Flander and the others. “I am Yin Shu. A level fifty-four Attack type Battle Spirit Master. I am unable to assess the levels of all you seniors. How about this, I will take you to see our Dean, and let her determine your levels and treatment?”
