The next morning Everyone woke up quite early to the smell of fresh breakfast. Today it was waffles with vanilla ice cream and different kinds of fruits and syrups.
Bella was introduced as she makes me breakfasts most mornings. The others were all still in the kingdom for now as I don't like having living people in the trunk when I'm moving around. When I find a proper place to put it then they will pop back out and introduce themselves.
After breakfast it was decided we would all go check around the village for a while. See if there was any changes and maybe find out more about classes and such.
only thing we found was a fat boy with a rat like mustache fighting with his now ex girlfriend.
This would be Ma hongjun one of the main characters from the story. He has a variation spirit that is something like an evil pheonix. It causes problems with his cultivation and he has to release pent up spirit energy through either sex or various exercises and judging by how fat he is. Exercises are Cleary out.
However just because he's chubby doesn't mean he can't find girls. like I said before powerful people attract women in this world and a pheonix spirit with over rank 25 at 12 years old is quite powerful.
That and this world let's anyone into brothels. most of the male students including Dai mubai and the sausage uncle frequently visit them. The little sluts.
We just ignored him and continued on.
Soon there was a loud ringing of a bell.
Quickly catching sight of the sausage uncle Oscar heading in the direction of the bell we decided to follow along.
Sure enough there was the Dean of the school.
"This is our Academy's Dean, Shrek Academy's founder, Four Eyed Owl Flender. A seventy eighth ranked Spirit Sage, compared to Zhao Wuji he's even more fierce, and he also possesses a flying type Beast Spirit. Among Battle Spirit Masters, this is considered quite rare, Fatty is his first disciple." Whispered the 14 year old food spirit master upon noticing us pointing towards the fat boy who was arguing with his girl earlier.
A somewhat magnetic voice suddenly rang out from the glasses wearing dean.
"This year really isn't bad, we have gotten four little monsters. I, Shrek Academy's dean Flender, will represent the Academy to welcome you here. In a moment, you will each hand over a hundred gold coins to teacher Li in charge of finances over there. Mubai."
"Dean."
Dai Mubai stepped forward, apparently very respectful towards Flender, even a bit of admiration.
Flender said:
"For your newly arrived four junior brothers and sisters, later tell them about the Academy's regulations. After that each should return to rest and as far as possible recover your peak level states. Today's first class will begin in the evening. Oscar, you and Ning Ronrong are exceptions. You two follow me" He said towards the pink haired princess and the sausage uncle.
Oscar's expression immediately broke down, heart unreconciled and not willing to surrender before Flender he puffed up his chest and bravely went to his doom.
Flender waved his hand, saying."You others can go rest. Remember, before the sky is dark, let yourselves reach peak condition, don't blame me for not reminding you. The Academy's curriculum is different from other places, you will even face mortal danger."
Dai mubai and fatty both scurried off with the two girl staying to keep me company as I wanted to watch the disaster about to happen.
Flender paid them no attention, towards Oscar and Ning Rongrong saying."Everyone has their own ways to cultivate. As spirits are different, cultivation methods are also as different as can be. On Douluo Continent, there are practically no completely equal spirits, therefore, the Academy's instruction to you is not at all about how to cultivate spirits, but about how to use spirits, about how to fight in the future, to allow you to even better assist your comrades in arms."
True as you can't teach everyone in the exact same way. There are all different kinds of people on the battlefield. Scouts, medics, repairmen, leaders, soldiers. Each needs to learn specific tasks. Spirits are also the same.
Oscar apparently already heard similar words, noncommittally lowering his head, but Ning Rongrong nodded considering deeply.
Flender continued:
"You two are both auxiliary type Spirit Masters, one is attribute addition, the other is a food system spirit. Spirit masters like you, whether on the battlefield or in peacetime, both need companions to protect you by your side, otherwise, you will find it very difficult to survive. Oscar, tell me, as an auxiliary type Spirit Master, what on the battlefield keeps you from danger."
Oscar without the slightest hesitation said. "As far as possible hiding behind the companions on one's side, exploiting the surroundings and if possible exploiting the terrain and buildings to evade danger. basically keep as far as possible away from dangerous areas as possible."
Flender nodded, saying. "Quite right. But you have not mentioned one point. As an auxiliary type Spirit Master, running away is a necessary quality to possess, so an auxiliary type Spirit Master who is unable to flee is not a good Spirit Master. But what is needed to escape? The requirement is physical strength. Since as Spirit Masters you have your spirit power for assistance, your bodies inner qualities will be a bit stronger than ordinary people's. But, it's possible that when confronting the enemy the other side is a Battle Spirit Master. Consequently, as an auxiliary type Spirit Master, you equally need to carry out physical strength exercises. In a key moment, maybe running one more step will let you survive."
You could see the princesses face fall as she got the hint at what was about to happen.
Sure enough, after Flender's lengthy exposition, he nodded towards Oscar and Ning Rongrong, saying:
"Your class today, is carrying out physical strength drills. Starting from now, run twenty laps around the entire village, if by the lunch you still have not returned, you need not eat. You can use your spirits to for assistance. Right now, set out, Oscar is in charge of leading."
"Yes." said the bitter children.
Although the village where Shrek Academy was located was not large, Oscar understood that when Flender indicated the entire village, he included the village's fields. One lap was a distance of at least three kilometres or more. Twenty laps, that was equivalent to a terrifying number.
Currently they possessed more than twentieth ranked spirit power, but completing this course before noon still was a matter that would put an auxiliary type Spirit Master in such pain as to not want to live. For more than twentieth ranked Battle Spirit Masters, running this kind of distance still wouldn't be easy.
Watching Oscar and Ning Rongrong run off, Flender pointed at me, saying "You follow me."
