"Boss? That seems very interesting. Good. Then from here on I'm your boss. Becoming a working student seems a very good thing."
Xiao Wu selected a bed next to Tang San, picking up her package and school uniform from behind and setting them there.
After that, she asked them to give her some details about the academy which was provided by Wang Sheng. He also gave her an introduction to everyone else and their spirits.
Listening until Wang Sheng finished speaking, Xiao Wu gave Tang San a glance, and said:
"Tang San, what is your spirit power rank? Just now I sensed your strength was very powerful."
Tang San did not conceal it, after all on the surface his spirit was a good-for-nothing blue silver grass,
"I have innate full spirit power. Therefore my power is comparatively strong."
"Innate full spirit power?"
Almost everyone was surprised. JoyBoy was standing in between the students observing everything but everyone ignored him including Xiao Wu.
At this time, a thirty year old teacher entered from outside,
"The new students have arrived? Stand up a moment."
Tang San and Xiao Wu simultaneously rose from their beds.
This teacher had an ordinary appearance, pale green hair, hands carrying bedding,
"Where are Tang San and JoyBoy?"
Tang San and JoyBoy hurriedly stepped forward.
The teacher said
"I'm Mo Hen, you can call me teacher Mo. Tang San and JoyBoy, this bedding is a gift from Grandmaster."
They took the bedding. Although the quilt facing was gorgeous, a clear and fresh smell came to the nostrils; unexpectedly it was all brand new. In it was still a pillow. Grandmaster apparently already thought to help them.
After that he explained to Tang San, JoyBoy and Xiao Wu about their responsibilities as work students, their wages and warned them about delinquent like behavior with expulsion.
He asked them if they understood. Tang San, JoyBoy and Xiao Wu nodded simultaneously, expressing understanding.
Mo Hen also said
"Tomorrow is the opening ceremony. The day after tomorrow the regular classes begin. The first year classes are on the first floor of the main school building, so the day after tomorrow you will punctually go to class.
Starting from the day after tomorrow, you will start carrying out the regular work. We may do non-scheduled spot checks. Well, take a rest first. Wang Sheng, you're the oldest here, so tell them about the rules."
After he left, Xiao Wu stared blankly at the bedding on JoyBoy and Tang San's hands, in her eyes appeared a somewhat embarrassed look.
Noticing that she was also eying his bedding, JoyBoy suddenly spit on it saying that now he had marked it as his own, while thinking
"That should make her not wanting to share my bedding. Sorry bro, you will have to share your bedding with her."
Seeing his actions, Xiao Wu looked away from his bedding before staring at Tang San's and forced him to share it with her.
She then asked everyone to not call her 'boss' saying she preferred 'big sister Xiao Wu'. Then, Wang Sheng invited everyone to the dining hall to eat saying he will cover their food expenses for next two days.
JoyBoy politely declined saying that he was not hungry at the moment but decided to go with them anyway.
The dining hall was in the school building, having to cross the whole sports ground to get there. On the way to the dining hall, Wang Sheng already told Xiao Wu how the room seven boss and working students must act in public, and Xiao Wu readily agreed.
"Isn't this that Wang Sheng's group of apparitions of poverty?"
Just as they entered the dining hall, a discordant voice reached them.
Tang San, JoyBoy and Xiao Wu looked questioningly in the direction the voice came from, only seeing a group of senior students standing on the staircase between the first and second floor, looking down at them from their higher position.
The speaker was a handsome and spirited, probably eleven or twelve years old male student, his eyes revealing a concentrated disdain, wagging a finger in the direction of Wang Sheng.
Seeing his actions, Xiao Wu immediately got angry and wanted to go fight him but, she eas stopped by Tang San saying that they were there to eat.
This made Xiao Wu look down on him. Suddenly, JoyBoy and Tang San noticed Grandmaster and immediately went to greet him. He asked them about the bedding and they thanked him for it.
Grandmaster then invited them to eat on the 2nd floor but they politely rejected. Tang San said that he wanted to eat with his dormitory roommates while JoyBoy said that he was not hungry and only there to see the place with Tang San and his new roommates.
Grandmaster did not persist. He nodded and said:
"Ok, you do what you feel is appropriate. Go. When you have finished eating wait for me at the dining hall gate."
Saying so, he went up to the second floor. Then Wang Sheng and Tang San had the same conversation about him before Tang San and JoyBoy warned him not to do that again. While, Tang San was stern in his warning, JoyBoy was polite and soft spoken.
Tang San was surprised by this because this was the first time he saw him speaking to someone without a smile on his face. He felt happy in his heart realizing that JoyBoy cared so much about his teacher.
After this Wang Sheng and others went inside to eat while Tang San went somewhere else to eat. JoyBoy just waited near the gate for a while before he was joined by Tang San, who quickly returned after eating.
After waiting as much as an hour, Grandmaster finally came out of the dining hall, and with him came a similarly middle aged person.
The middle aged person was dressed in a chang pao, his features eminently intelligent, chin slightly protruding, on his face a mild smile.
"Let's go, little San and little JoyBoy."
Grandmaster called in the direction of where Tang San and JoyBoy stood by the dining hall gate.
The middle aged person at Grandmaster's side said smiling
"These are your newly accepted disciples?"
Grandmaster nodded.
The middle aged person clapped Grandmaster's shoulder,
"Well then, I wish you success. I will leave first."
Having said so, he gave Tang San and JoyBoy a glance, and went in another direction.
Grandmaster's residence was a room on the corner of the dormitory building's top floor. The room wasn't large, only thirty square meters or so. The things inside were also very simple, only two bookshelves to one wall covered with books attracted JoyBoy and Tang San's gaze.
The first thing he did was giving them something to eat saying that the time of youth can not be wasted. JoyBoy once again politely declined saying he was not hungry and gave his portion of food to Tang San with a smile.
Seeing his actions, both Grandmaster and Tang San felt warmth. After Tang San finished eating, Grandmaster asked him to show him his second spirit which he did.
Seeing the hammer in Tang San's hand, Grandmaster suddenly shot up from his seat to his feet, his eyes exuding an extremely agitated light. Unwaveringly staring at the hammer, murmuring:
"Tang San, Tang San, surname Tang… ok, you can put away the spirit. You must not lightly reveal it in front of other people. Without my permission, hereafter you definitely must not give that spirit additional spirit rings. This part you have to remember well."
After calming down, he asked him about his father which he truthfully replied. Grandmaster's gaze was rather strange, heaving a sigh he shook his head,
"Blacksmith, hammer, unexpectedly it's a perfect match."
Then, Grandmaster told him that the next morning, he will go out of academy with him to look for a suitable spirit ring to advance his cultivation.
He asked Tang San about his thoughts on blue silver grass spirit. After hearing his reply, Grandmaster started giving the same speech, he gave in the novel.
On the side, JoyBoy was also paying attention and listened to the entire speech carefully. After hearing the complete analysis, he was glad that he made Grandmaster his teacher.
After finishing his analysis about the blue silver grass spirit and advising Tang San to become a control system spirit master, he turned his attention towards JoyBoy.
Grandmaster checked his certificate and noticed that beside spirit power level 2, 'fluctuating' word was written. He decided to ask JoyBoy about this.
"Little JoyBoy, I noticed that fluctuating word added on your spirit power certificate. Can you tell me what did you experience during that time ?"
Hearing this question, JoyBoy started politely giving him the explanation which he had thought about during the last three months because he knew that sooner or later he will be asked this question.
"That day after my spirit awakened, I felt a warm energy flowing through my entire body which made me feel relaxed.
But, when that senior gave me the blue crystal ball for testing in my hands, it suddenly started absorbing that warm energy and started to glow brighter and brighter.
Seeing this made me feel like it was mocking me, so I started to take my energy back from it which decreased its glow. This started a kind of tug of war between me and that crystal for the warm energy.
In the end, when I reach a kind of balance with it, my result was declared by the senior as it is written in the certificate."
