The early morning sunlight shines through the window lattice of Cultivation Room on the two people sleeping in each other's arms.
Ling Luochеn's long eyelashes trembled and she slowly opened her eyes.
His ice blue eyes were still hazy from waking up, but when he saw the handsome face close at hand and felt the warm and possessive arm around his waist, the memories of last night came flooding back.
Her cheeks were instantly dyed with a moving red glow, which spread to her fair ears and slender neck.
She... she was so bold last night...
But feeling the unprecedented transparency and faint growth of Martial Soul in the body, Soul Power, and the solid and warm sense of belonging in my heart, I feel more sweet and firm in addition to being shy.
She quietly raised her eyes and stared at Lin Ciyan's peaceful sleeping face.
His breathing was steady, and there seemed to be a faint lazy smile at the corner of his mouth.
The sunlight coated his face with a layer of gold, making it look particularly soft.
Ling Luochеn's icy eyes were full of love, and she couldn't help but gently lift her fingers and trace his handsome brow bones very lightly.
The warm touch from her fingertips made her heart skip a beat.
At this moment, Lin Ciyan's eyes suddenly opened, with clear eyes and a narrow smile.
"Morning, Luo Chen."
The captured Ling Luochеn screamed in surprise and tried to bury his face like a frightened deer, but was hugged by Lin Ciyan around the waist and had nowhere to escape.
"Morning... morning, Ci Yan." Her voice was like a gnat, and her long ice-blue hair was spread somewhat messily on the pillow and chest. Her skin was flushed against the snow, and she was breathtakingly beautiful.
"Did you sleep well?" Lin Ciyan smiled, lowered his head and kissed her gently on her smooth forehead.
"... Hmm." Ling Luochеn nodded lightly, his icy eyes were moist, although he was shy, he looked back at him bravely, and the corners of his mouth could not help but raise slightly.
The change of this title made the last trace of reserve in her heart turn into warmth.
The two were affectionate for a while, then Ling Luochеn stood up with a blushing face and straightened out her slightly wrinkled ice blue dress.
Lin Ciyan also got up with her and found it interesting to see her pretending to be calm while combing her long hair despite being shy.
"I... I should go back. There are still training tasks today." Ling Luochеn finished organizing, stood at the door, and turned to look at him.
"Go." Lin Ciyan walked over and naturally helped her tidy up the disobedient strand of hair on her temples.
Ling Luochеn His icy eyes trembled slightly, and he suddenly stood up on tiptoes, quickly pressed a kiss on his lips, then turned around and ran away like a frightened rabbit, leaving only a wisp of cold fragrance.
Seeing her graceful back disappearing outside the courtyard gate, Lin Ciyan touched his lips, shook his head and smiled.
[Ding! It is detected that the host and the ice attribute goddess have completed the 'Deep Soul Communication with Martial Soul Resonance', achieved the 'Ice and Fire Dual Heaven' achievement (fake), and the reward is Slacking Value+600!]
[Current Slacking Value: 238,000 points.]
[System complaints: Host, isn't your 'rotten' life a bit too fulfilling? The System is even a little envious! yue~]
Lin Ciyan ignored the system's remarks, walked to the window, and looked in the direction of Outer Court.
It's time to get down to business.
A few days passed quietly.
Shrek Academy Outer Court, school officially starts.
The freshmen began their six-year study career with longing and apprehension.
However, the students of Freshman Class One soon discovered that their class teacher, Teacher Zhou Yi, seemed to be more..."special" than rumored.
Iron-blooded policy, extreme pressure, corporal punishment and yelling at the slightest slack, and threats of expulsion at every turn.
Under high pressure, some students are indeed forced to reach their potential, but many more students are exhausted physically and mentally and dare not speak out in anger.
This afternoon, the atmosphere in the office of Dean Martial Soul Department, Yan Shaozhe, was serious.
In front of Yan Shaozhe, stood several young Soul Master with pale faces and indignation and fear in their eyes.
They are not the current freshmen, but students who were expelled by Zhou Yi a few years ago on the grounds that they were "unworthy of education."
One of them still had the dull pain from an old injury in his leg.
"... She directly used Soul Power to shock my meridians, saying that I was useless and not worthy of staying in Shrek..."
"My brother was only late once, and he was punished by being forced to wear an iron suit and run around the square until he was unconscious..."
"She doesn't care about the student's endurance limit at all, she only pursues what she calls 'elite rate'!"
Several people said something to each other, accusing Zhou Yi of his brutal behavior back then.
In their hands, they still have some details that were secretly recorded back then, as well as evidence recently collected through some "anonymous channels" about the private complaints of students in the current class of Zhou Yi.
Yan Shaozhe The more he listened, the darker his face became.
Zhou Yi's teaching method is extreme. He knew it and acquiesced, because he could indeed screen out some of the best.
However, such a disregard for a student's basic endurance can cause permanent damage, and even completely deny a student's future just because of one mistake...
This has gone beyond the scope of "strictness" and touched the bottom line of the college.
At this moment, Vice President Cai Mei'er also knocked on the door and came in, holding a report in his hand and looking equally unhappy:
"Dean, these are the statistics just sent from the infirmary."
"In less than a week after Freshman Class One started school, the number of students who have seriously strained their muscles due to overtraining and Soul Power's overdraft has come for treatment has reached seven. Far more than other freshmen classes."
Yan Shaozhe looked at the accuser in front of him and the report in his hand, and closed his eyes.
When I opened it again, I was determined.
"Notify Academic Affairs Office that all teaching duties of Zhou Yi will be suspended immediately and he will be investigated. Notify Freshman Class One that classes will be suspended this afternoon."
The message spread like it had wings.
When Zhou Yi was taken away by Academic Affairs Office's people in the office.
She still looked dissatisfied and shouted, "I am cultivating real elites for the college" and "It would be a good thing for the college for those losers to get out early."
However, when pieces of conclusive evidence were put in front of her, and even students who had been "disposed" by her back then and were now somewhat successful in other fields came forward to testify, her momentum finally collapsed.
The investigation was prompt and efficient.
The evidence is conclusive and the impact is bad.
Sea God Pavilion also received the report.
Mu En just said lightly, "Shrek is a place to cultivate talents, not a place for ruthless officials to train soldiers."
The final word.
Zhou Yi was officially fired by the Shrek Academy and will never be hired.
Its too extreme "teaching philosophy" has also been listed as a negative teaching material, warning all teachers.
When the news came out, Outer Court was in an uproar.
Many senior students who had been "tortured" by Zhou Yi clapped their hands and cheered, while the students of Freshman Class One, after a brief period of confusion and a sense of relief, began to feel uneasy again - who will the new class teacher be?
The next morning.
Freshman Class One classroom.
The students were whispering and guessing what the new teacher would look like.
Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong were sitting by the window. Huo Yuhao had a trace of relief in his eyes. Zhou Yi's cold eyes and high-pressure methods really put him under great pressure.
Wang Dong is mostly curious. For him, anyone can do it as long as she is not a perverted old lady like Zhou Yi.
Xiao Xiao whispered to Huo Yuhao, "Monitor, what do you think the new teacher will be like? Will he be fierce too?"
Huo Yuhao shook his head. "I don't know, I hope... we can get along better."
At this moment, the classroom door was pushed open.
The first person to come in was a person who made all the students' eyes widen.
Wearing simple Inner Court disciple clothing, he is a young man with a tall and straight figure, handsome appearance and a lazy smile on his face.
"Teaching Assistant Lin?!" Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong made low-pitched sounds almost simultaneously.
They recognized that this was someone they had met several times in the academy before, and even helped them during the assessment.
The mysterious and powerful senior Inner Court, Lin Ciyan!
Lin Ciyan waved casually to the surprised boys and girls in the classroom, then stepped aside.
A gentle and delicate figure walked in.
The visitor looked to be about 27 or 28 years old. She was wearing a light blue teacher's dress, which outlined her slender and well-proportioned figure.
Her long black hair was draped softly behind her shoulders, her face was beautiful and elegant, and there was a gentle smile at the corner of her mouth that was as refreshing as spring breeze.
Her eyes are very bright, revealing wisdom and gentleness, and her temperament is quiet and dignified, giving people a very reliable and comfortable feeling.
She walked to the podium, her eyes gently swept across the class, and her voice was clear and sweet, like a gurgling stream:
"Hello, classmates. My name is Han Ruoruo. From today on, I will serve as the acting class teacher of your Freshman Class One."
The classroom was quiet for a moment, and then the students' unconscious sighs of relief and low voices could be heard.
"The new teacher looks so gentle!"
"It feels completely different..."
Han Ruoruo smiled and waited for everyone to be quiet, and continued, "At the same time, considering that everyone has just changed their class teacher and may not be able to adapt to it, the college has specially appointed senior Lin Ciyan from Inner Court to serve as the teacher's assistant of our class to assist everyone in their study and practice."
Lin Ciyan took a half step forward in cooperation and nodded to the audience. His eyes paused slightly on Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong and others, and the corners of his lips were slightly raised.
[Ding! It is detected that the host successfully promotes the plot, removes the 'instability factor' Zhou Yi, clears the way for the spread of the concept of 'Relaxation Cultivation' in Outer Court, and rewards Slacking Value+3000!]
[Current Slacking Value: 241,000 points!]
[Trigger new achievement: 'Mastermind'!]
Huo Yuhao looked at the gentle and beautiful Teacher Han on the podium and the Teaching Assistant Lin next to him who always seemed very leisurely but unfathomable, and felt inexplicably calm in his heart.
It seems that the new semester will really have a different start.
Lin Ciyan, who was standing on the side of the podium, glanced at the young and energetic faces in the classroom, and finally landed on Han Ruoruo's gentle profile.
Observation, from now on, may be more "active".
After all, as a teacher's assistant, it is your duty to guide students occasionally.
He seems to have seen that in the future, this classroom will be filled with more cheerful atmosphere of "Scientific Slacking".
