Shrek Academy, within one of the classrooms!
The students were all discussing with curiosity...
"So, since we've enrolled at Shrek Academy, why haven't we seen a single teacher? Could this be the monster's way of teaching?"
"Impossible, I remember clearly, Shrek Academy has always advertised its strong teaching staff. How could there be no teachers to instruct us!"
"I guess, it's mostly because of the attack by the Holy Spirit Cult that led to the fall of most of the teachers!!"
"Hiss... Now that you mention it, that's highly possible. Wait a minute... then who is going to teach us?"
"We're doomed, without teachers to instruct us, are we just supposed to fend for ourselves? I'm starting to regret joining Shrek Academy!"
Just then, a piercing voice suddenly came from outside...
"If you regret it now, it's still not too late to quit Shrek Academy!"
There stood Yuanen Yehui, expressionless, walking onto the podium, looking down at the students below...
Their hearts trembled, and they quickly shut their mouths...
They could tell at a glance that he was not to be trifled with!
Seeing this, Yuanen Yehui spoke again, "How come? Not continuing the discussion from just now? Those who want to leave Shrek Academy, stand up now!"
This terrifying oppressive force filled the entire space with a suffocating feeling...
How could these students dare to make any conspicuous movements, wishing they could weld themselves to their seats...
Yuanen Yehui realized his own aura was a bit too strong, and his tone softened slightly...
"Since none of you wish to leave, then quiet down and listen to me!!"
"My name is Yuanen Yehui, and I currently serve as an Elder of the Sea God Pavilion. Also, I will be temporarily acting as this class's homeroom teacher! Responsible for your early education!"
To be honest, she wasn't good at teaching kids, because she wasn't that mature herself!
However, since it was Elder Cai's request, she had no choice but to bite the bullet!
Upon hearing this, the fear in the eyes of the students turned to eagerness...
"Sea... Sea God Pavilion Elder?? Hiss... to think she would personally instruct us!"
"I heard that the Elders of Sea God Pavilion in Shrek Academy are at least Hyper Douluo level. With such a strong figure teaching us, what's there to worry about!"
"Fantastic!! Hahahahaha, I knew Shrek Academy had a strong teaching staff!"
"Now, not only will I not leave Shrek Academy, but I'll also stick around here as thick-skinned as needed just to learn!"
Witnessing this scene, Yuanen Yehui thought to herself, "The name of an Elder of the Sea God Pavilion really carries weight, huh. These students were so reluctant before, and now there's such a big change!"
But outwardly she remained calm and said, "Quiet! I'm only temporarily acting as the homeroom teacher. When the academy recruits excellent teachers, they will take over the instruction!"
"Alright, back to the point. Starting with the first row on the left, each person should introduce themselves! This will facilitate your team formation and study later on!"
...
After the morning classes ended...
The Shrek Seven Monsters gathered together to exchange their impressions...
Yue Zhengyu was pale as he said, "Whew, I'm dead tired. I never expected teaching to be so exhausting!!"
Xie Xie quickly nodded in agreement, "Tell me about it! I feel worse than if you had killed me after just one class!!"
Ye Xinglan pondered, "Although teaching for the first time was a bit challenging, it should be fine once I get used to it!"
Xu Lizhi scratched his head awkwardly, "Uh huh, I think so too!!"
As a support-class Soul Master, being a teacher was indeed a bit difficult for him!
After all, I know nothing about things related to battle!
Tang Wulin had a completely different idea, looking refreshed as he said, "I actually think it's not bad, because this feeling might just be like when Teacher Wu and Teacher Xu were teaching us initially."
Yuanen Yehui expressed agreement, "I can understand Wulin's feelings!"
At this moment, Cai Yue'er came to them with a smile, "It seems that everyone's first lesson went quite well."
Xie Xie rolled his eyes, "Elder Cai, please stop mocking us. How much longer will the academy be able to recruit teachers?"
Cai Yue'er shook her head, "This, I cannot make an accurate judgment. After all, most Soul Masters have joined the Spirit Pagoda!"
"Furthermore, Shrek Academy's requirements for recruiting teachers are very stringent; it's not something that can be accomplished in a short time!"
Hearing this, Xie Xie smiled bitterly, "Ah... so that's how it is. I thought at most after teaching for a few days I'd be out of a job!"
Xu Xiaoyan elbowed him and softly admonished, "Xie Xie, what are you talking about? We've just started teaching; how can we think about giving up on the students already?"
Yue Zhengyu couldn't resist teasing, "That's right, Xie Xie, you're too defeatist. Since we've already agreed, we need to be responsible!"
Ye Xinglan's gaze fixed intently on Xie Xie, "Xie Xie, I also think that your idea is incorrect."
Xie Xie turned his head and coughed, "Alright, alright, I can't argue with you guys. I was just joking."
Let's endure it for the sake of the academy!
Seeing this, Tang Wulin changed the subject, "Elder Cai, there hasn't been any movement from the Spirit Pagoda, right?"
He was worried that once the Spirit Pagoda acquired the Blacksmith Association's resources, they would immediately cause trouble!
Cai Yue'er's expression turned serious, "Hmm, there hasn't been any movement for now, but... it seems the Spirit Pagoda has reached its limit and is not continuing to recruit Soul Masters!"
Thinking about it, it made sense; the daily expenses for such a large number would be astronomical!
Even a well-off force like the Spirit Pagoda had to carefully consider it!
Tang Wulin breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."
It was a time for Shrek Academy's development, and it was best not to have any more trouble!
Cai Yue'er pursed her lips, looking skeptical, "Wulin, are you thinking of making a trip to the Spirit Pagoda?"
He hesitated for a moment before declining, "There's no need. Even if I went, Gu Yue definitely wouldn't agree to see me!"
Because in the few times before, she had already made that clear to him!
Yue Zhengyu suddenly slapped his shoulder in comfort, "Don't worry, Wulin. Even if Gu Yue ends up doing something harmful to the Continent, it can't change the fact that she is our partner!"
Ye Xinglan nodded affirmatively, "Mhm, when we fight in the future, we will all hold back."
Xie Xie gave a thumbs up, "You're right, as long as we let Gu Yue know that her plans will not succeed, she will give up on her own."
"No matter where we are, we, the Shrek Seven Monsters, are united in spirit!!"
Tang Wulin was somewhat moved, "Thank... thank you, everyone!"
Then, he looked up at the sky, murmuring under his breath, "Gu Yue, do you see this?"
Everyone doesn't despise you for what you've done; we've been looking forward to your return all along!!
Please, don't let us down!!
