After seeing the student examination results, he headed to realtor to buy a house for himself. While looking at the listings, he got a surprise.
"Those fucking divine family elders! How can they sell my old home. There are no evidence that I got killed or a dead body. It's not they're right to sell it.....urgh! f*** it! Hey agent! I want to buy this house as soon as possible. I want the contract binding and off limits from the divine family!" (Kwangsoo)
"R-right away sir! [ He must be a spoiled rich kid. Did the divine family offend him? ] (realtor agent.
He gave the agent extra commission to get the process go faster and smoother. The property is in the outskirt of the divine family land, so when he bought the house. He also bought the land. It was pretty big. His family was the former vassal of the patriarch. So it's like a mansion.
He then hired artisans to build a big wall and a gate to separate his land from the divine family. Then hired top inscription master to build inscriptions for security.
Since he don't trust anyone, he went to the slave market to buy servants. He used 5 girls as maids and warrior slaves as guards. They have slave inscriptions tattoo so they are very loyal and he don't have to pay them monthly. Just feed and dress them. He can't train them cultivation since he don't know any yet, but that's for the future.
The next day, he got ready for school. He ordered his maids to clean and organize the house. All his old furnitures and clothes are still there. He put all his parent's and sister's belongings into his inventory.
"Okay, while I'm in school. Make sure the artisan don't slack off. I paid them big money to build that wall. Also the clothes/ uniforms I ordered should arrive later. Ming! You'll be in charge of other security servants since you.are the most capable warrior. Lena! Your head maid in charge of all the maids. Follow the rules of the house. Make sure all of you bathe everyday with soap. Before you eat or do anything dirty, wash your hands with soap. You go to the outhouse, use soap to wash. Basically, I want cleanliness at all times. I made a storeroom full of soap. Also wash your clothes after using it once. I want cleanliness at all times. I'm also building a water tower soon. So less labor than our well. You have all your orders. Carry on." (Kwangsoo)
"As you order young master!" (All servants)
He headed to the Holy orchid institute for his first day of school.
When he arrived, he saw Ye Ziyun sitting next to Shen Yue who is trying to flirt with her. They are seated at the high nobles side of the classroom. Since he look like one, he went to the top back corner of the high nobles area. He is wearing a high end storage ring to look the part so no one questioned him.
"Humph! Must be an illegitimate child of one of the main family. He's not that special." (Shen Yue)
"Who is that? I never saw him before in any city gatherings. I thought I met all the noble kids my age already." (Ye Ziyun)
"(Sigh) Ye Ziyun is beautiful, but too young for my taste. Damn these past memories. I'm not a pedophile so I have no lustful urges at all. But Shen Xui the teacher. Now that's my cup of tea. I might just drug her later on and do whatever. She will die with the rest of the sacred family anyway. It seems such a waste. Maybe I can get her as a slave when her family is gone. hehehe." (Kwangsoo)
One by one, the kids he read about came in the class room. The recognizable one are:
- Xiao Ning'er
- Nie Li
- Du Ze
- Lu Piao
- Wei Nan
- Zhu Xiangjun
- Zang Ming
"There he is. Nie Li and his merry men. Now I just need to see if this is the original or his reincarnation from the sage emperor." (Kwangsoo)
He specifically sat on the top corner, to get away from the wet dog smell. It was hurting his nose. The high nobles bathe everyday, so there's little smell from them. But the strong perfume is a turn off.
The class started when Shen Xiu walked in. He was observing Nie Li sleeping but when Shen Xiu came in, his focus was all at her.
"Holy Sh*t! She looks even hotter in person. Look at that body. Sh*t! If legs could kill, then send me to heaven!" (Kwangsoo)
He noticed everyone was looking at him. Even Nie Li woke up and looked at him.
"Errrr~ Did I just say that out loud..." (Kwangsoo)
They all nodded. The girls in class was all red and the guys was giggling and giving him a thumbs up. Shen Xiu was red with embarrassment. She dress sexy to make a first impression. But this wasn't what she was aiming for.
".....pervert." (Ye Ziyun/ Xiao Ning'er)
"Stay away from my aunt! You noble reject!" (Shen Yue)
Shen Xiu looked at her folder with all the picture record of her class.
"Ahem! Let's see cyan grade talent and .... 4 star bronze rank already! But also an alchemy apprentice! I see, you are capable and talented. But please keep your comments privately. I'm not into kids no matter how talented or special you are." (Shen Xiu)
The whole class became silent. They were a little shocked seeing a 12 year old bronze rank demon spiritualist. And a 4 star at that. Unknown to them, he was suppressing his cultivation from 5 star silver rank.
"Should he be in the genius class rather than apprentice class?" (Lu Piao)
"Well, he rejected it. He said he need to learn cultivation first. He is still undecided on what cultivation is suited for him. So he is sent here until then. But he already has a spot for the genius class. So he'll be gone fro. this class soon." (Shen Xiu)
"Grrr. Just you wait! I'll catch up to you soon!" (Shen Yue)
"Okay! Let's begin our class!" (Shen Xiu)
Her eyes turned scarlet with animal slit eyes. She grew fox ears and a big long fox tail. She was brimming with glowing red spiritual aura.
"This is my demon spirit called the scarlet flaming fox! This is what happens when you merged with your demon spirit. Gaining the power surpassing a fighter's strength. After merging with it, I also gain it's strength and fire abilities. Scarlet flame fox is a gold rank beast. Meaning that the highest I can reach is a gold rank spiritualist. Of course after that, I can replace it for a more powerful demon spirit." (Shen Xiu)
While she was teaching. Kwangsoo saw that Nie Li was pinching himself and looking around. Nie Li didn't even glance at him, like he is a random mob character. Then Nie Li Hugged Lu Piao and shouted.
"Just being happy brother! Glad to see you!" (Nie Li)
"Who's brother were you, you gaylord! Release me!" (Lu Piao)
"Whatever you may think. In my heart, you are my good brother!" (Nie Li)
Lu Piao went silent and said. He noticed Nie Li was looking at Ye Ziyun attentively.
"Weirdo.... I know that you belong to one of the noble families, but let me warn you. Don't get ideas about that girl. Her identity is very mysterious. When she joined the school, the principal personally arranged her dorm." ( Lu Piao)
"She's my woman!" (Nie Li)
Shen Xiu ignored the two. She focused teaching the high nobles side.
"For the next 2 years, you are all my students. Although the school mentioned that all the students are equals, I have to inform you a cruel truth. In this world, equality doesn't exist! After you all grow up, you will agree with my words. You can't be living in this fairy tail forever!" (Shen Xiu)
"Hearing it now, it does make sense. She is a realist. Unless you have a fortunate encounter, you will be stuck in a level forever." (Kwangsoo/ thoughts)
"Commoners will always be commoners. Wanting to be nobility is impossible!" (Shen Xiu)
Most commoners in the class felt dejected and angry. They just held their face down and take the insults. Then Nie Li raised his hands.
"Teacher Shen Xiu, I have a question!" (Nie Li)
"Go on." (Shen Xiu)
"You mentioned that glory city is the only city that survived through the age of darkness, and that we're the only humans alive. Do you have any supporting evidence?...Has teacher gone out the St. Ancestral mountains before and visited the endless dessert, the toxic forest, the blood moon marsh, the spirit gulf, the heavenly luster mountain and the northern snow?" (Nie Li)
"What places are you talking about? I've always been in Glory City since birth. I have not gone to those places." (Shen Xiu)
"Since Teacher Shen Xiu has never visited places. How can we be sure we're the only humans left?" (Nie Li)
The class became confused and started discussing human survivors outside the city.
"Then do you have evidence that we are not the only humans left?" (Shen Xiu)
"Evidence?... Let me tell you a story. There was once a frog who always lived in the bottom of the well since birth. He had always been in the well. Therefore, from the start. He could only see part of the sky. So he claimed that sky is only as big as the hole of the well. But is the sky only the size of the hole?... So we say that the frog is viewing the sky from the well!" (Nie Li)
Most class giggled at the statements. Even Ye Ziyun looked at him interestedly. Nie Li looked at her and winked. She immediately turned away with face red of embarrassment.
"Teacher Shen Xiu, I have another question." (Nie Li)
"What question do you still have?" Shen Xiu asked Nie Li irritatedly.
"You said commoners will always remain commoners. Wasn't Lord Ye Mo a commoner when he was younger? Wasn't teacher unaware of this?" (Nie Li)
Kwangsoo heard their argument. It was a boring back talks. He was so bored that he just looked at the window.
"They really should move the outhouses farther. That reminds me, I need saw dust supply for the outhouse at the house. It prevents the waste from smelling anything at all." (Kwangsoo)
While he was thinking this, he saw Nie Li make a bet to go bronze rank at the assessment test in 2 months. If he loses, he quit school. If he wins, teacher Shen Xiu quits school. And as punishment, Shen Xiu ordered Nie Li to stand at the back of the classroom while in class for the next 2 months.
Nie Li respectingly agreed and stand alone in the back. Du Ze followed him and stand next to him.
"Since like you like standing, then stand together with him." (Shen Xiu)
Then Lu Piao joined them.
"Haha! Why are you here?" (Nie Li)
"Sitting down is pretty boring. I feel more relaxed standing up, can't I?" (Lu Piao)
"Haha! It suits you!" (Nie Li)
Then Wei Nan, Zhu Xiangjun and Zang Ming joined them at the back. Kwangsoo looked at them and just sighed.
"I am not joining them. They stink anyways. Maybe I will talk later to Nie Li and make a deal with him. I still have a piece of the missing temporal demon book page. I probably trade it for a rosetta stone to decipher the ancient language. I have so many cultivation scrolls in my inventory. But I cant read it." (Kwangsoo)
