Becoming a Teacher.
As Ye Ye was checking his status, a voice suddenly called out, "Hey! What are you doing at our academy gate? You can't loiter here. Move along!"
The man was a gatekeeper at Nuoding Junior Soul Master Academy. Some time ago, a student had come to enroll, and one of the gatekeeper's friends had given him a hard time. But the student had turned out to be a genius, and Grandmaster had taken him on as a disciple. The friend had been fired, so now they were very careful with everyone who came to enroll. But the enrollment period had already passed, and they had to follow the rules. Besides, even though the man was over six feet tall, his youthful-looking face suggested he was under eighteen but certainly over ten. He was too old to be a student, yet too young to be a teacher. And dressed all in black, he clearly didn't look like a decent person. So the gatekeeper had no qualms about driving Ye Ye away.
Annoyed at being interrupted, Ye Ye glared at the gatekeeper. The man flinched, but then mustered his courage and said, "Don't try anything! This is a Soul Master Academy. If you cause trouble, you'll regret it!"
"I'm not here to cause trouble," Ye Ye said. "I just want to apply."
"Apply? The student enrollment period is over. Besides, this is a junior academy, and you're over ten. You can't enroll."
"Who said I was applying as a student? I want to apply for a teaching position."
"What! You want to apply to be a teacher?"
He looked Ye Ye over again, confirming that he wasn't even twenty, then said, "Our academy's teachers need to be at least level twenty-five. How could someone your age possibly qualify?"
"Hahaha!" Ye Ye said, then released four standard Soul Rings: yellow, yellow, purple, purple. He had decided not to make himself seem too extraordinary. Otherwise, he might attract the attention of an organization like Spirit Hall, which would be troublesome. So he used ordinary Soul Rings; after all, they didn't affect his attack power.
The gatekeeper was so shocked by Ye Ye's Soul Rings that he fell to the ground. His voice trembling, he stammered, "A Soul Ancestor! Headmaster!" Then he scrambled off to summon the headmaster. The strongest person in the entire academy, the headmaster, was only a Soul King.
A while later, the headmaster of Nuoding Academy arrived and asked Ye Ye, "Are you the young Soul Ancestor who wants to apply for a teaching position?"
"Yes," Ye Ye replied.
"Please come with me."
Ye Ye followed the headmaster to his office. "Please, have a seat," the headmaster said.
After Ye Ye sat down, the headmaster asked, "What level are you, and how old are you?"
"My Soul Power has reached level forty-nine, and I'm fourteen this year," Ye Ye answered.
The headmaster was stunned. He hadn't expected Ye Ye to have reached level forty-nine at such a young age. Of course, Ye Ye had just made up the level.
The headmaster took out a Soul Power testing sphere and asked, "May I test you?"
"Of course," Ye Ye replied. After all, reaching level forty-nine at his age was indeed hard to believe.
The sphere, which could hold up to level fifty Soul Power, lit up almost entirely, leaving only a small section dark.
The headmaster believed Ye Ye, then asked, "Do you have any requirements for working at our academy?" After all, Ye Ye was a level forty-nine Soul Ancestor and a young man with limitless potential. They could consider any request that wasn't too unreasonable.
"I don't have any special requirements. I can even work without pay; I just can't teach for more than three months." After all, there was very little to do in Nuoding City, and Ye Ye couldn't waste too much time there.
"Fine," the headmaster agreed without hesitation. Three months was a little short, but Ye Ye was working for free, and he was a Soul Ancestor. Even if he taught for just one day, it would be worth it—especially since he wasn't asking for a salary.
And so Ye Ye became a teacher at Nuoding Academy.
