The New Instructor

The New Instructor

During the nine days Diya stayed home training on his own, something major happened at Carlos Academy. Well, it was not really a major event, but when the students caused a stir, even a small matter became a big one.

Carlos Academy had hired another instructor. That was nothing unusual, but the key was that the new instructor was a woman. That was not particularly strange either, except this new female instructor was a stunning beauty of twenty-nine. Rumor had it that she had an incredibly sexy figure and looks beautiful enough to shake heaven and make ghosts weep. Moreover, she had a remarkably gentle personality, without the arrogant self-importance often seen in beautiful women. She seemed very approachable.

However, just as all the male students were fired up and hoping this instructor would be assigned to teach their classes, news spread through the academy that the beautiful new instructor had actually been assigned to the academy's only class—the Summoning Department. The reason was that she herself was a summoner who had reached the Upper Spirit Rank a year ago. She immediately replaced Pig as the instructor of the summoning class, while Pig was demoted to become the beautiful instructor's assistant.

On the beautiful instructor's first day of class, she discovered during roll call that one student was absent. On the second day, she took attendance again, and a student named Diya was still absent. It was her first time as an instructor, yet she had been ignored by a student like this. The beautiful instructor was greatly displeased. While feeling annoyed, she also began asking the students about Diya.

Seeing an opportunity to show off before the beautiful instructor, the beast-blooded bunch all thought that if they performed well, they might receive private instruction from her. At the thought of such a scene, all the male students in the summoning class sprang into action. They surrounded the beautiful instructor and chattered over one another as they described Diya's circumstances, making no effort to hide their disgust for him.

The beautiful instructor listened with a frown as the students described Diya as utterly vile. She also asked her assistant—Pig—for his opinion. Pig, who hated Diya to the bone, fully affirmed the students' claims and gave an even more detailed explanation.

He particularly emphasized Diya's terrible character: he was arrogant, did not know how to unite with his classmates, did not respect his instructors, did not follow academy rules, and relied on his inability to cultivate to treat the academy as though it were nothing. He came and went whenever he pleased, gave up on himself, was extremely irresponsible toward himself, and even insulted an instructor when that instructor showed concern for him.

Fat Pig spoke with great emotion and vivid detail. He even described how much he had cared for Diya, only to find that not only could he not inspire Diya to strive forward, he had instead been insulted by him. In short, Diya became an utterly unforgivable villain in his mouth.

Pig had his own reasons for doing this. Earlier, when the beautiful instructor arrived at the academy and replaced him while he was demoted to assistant, he went to the headmaster to complain. The headmaster directly told him that the new instructor had an extraordinary background. They could hardly make her Pig's assistant, could they?

The headmaster also told Pig that the beautiful instructor was merely interning at Carlos Academy and would not be teaching permanently. She would leave after a year. If he served her well, Pig would be rewarded once that year was over.

Although the headmaster did not explicitly reveal the beautiful instructor's background, did Pig really need to doubt it when even the headmaster treated her with such importance? So Pig planned to portray Diya before the beautiful instructor as utterly worthless, unforgivably evil, and morally depraved. If Diya had lived at the academy, Pig might even have accused him of stealing the female students' underwear.

This might provoke the instructor's disgust and lead her to use the forces behind her to expel Diya from the academy. Even if she could not get him expelled, it would still be fine if Diya suffered a little.

"Instructor Pig, is this student really as awful as you say?" Christiana asked softly. The moment her voice rang out, the male students felt as though they were about to float away, while the female students looked at the new instructor with hostility.

"Instructor Pig," Christiana repeated, her brows knitting slightly before quickly relaxing. She had seen this situation many times before, but there was nothing she could do. She could hardly disfigure herself and ruin her voice.

"Here!" the fat man answered loudly. Then he realized he might have sounded rather crude, so the thick-skinned man gave two dry coughs. "Instructor Christiana, what did you say just now?"

"Is this student named Diya really as awful as you claim?" Christiana repeated, her voice still so **.

"Of course, Instructor Christiana. You may not believe me, but surely you believe the students, right? Tell her, is what I said true?" Pig said to the students, his eyes flickering. The students were all commoners' children, and they genuinely disliked Diya as well, so they all nodded firmly. This made Christiana frown deeply, while the male students around her felt their hearts itch at the sight.

"There is actually such a terrible student? No, as an instructor, I have the responsibility and obligation to change him," Christiana said, clenching her small fist.

"Instructor Christiana, it is useless. I have tried many times, but every time I failed. Last time, I was even insulted in public. He compared me to a Pig Beast, and he has not come to the academy since," Pig said with a pained expression, as if he were sorrowfully indignant over Diya's lack of ambition.

Although Christiana dearly wanted to say that he really did look like a Pig Beast, her good upbringing made her offer Pig a few words of comfort instead, delighting him immensely.

"Instructor Pig, I can understand how you feel. Leave this student named Diya to me from now on. I will definitely change him," Christiana said firmly again.

"Instructor, no! You absolutely must not get close to Diya, or he might hit you!" a student suddenly cried out. The goddess in his heart was actually going to meet that trash, and from her words, it seemed she even intended to teach him privately. In his anxiety, he shouted it out.

"Did you not say Diya's body is extremely weak, to the point that even walking is a problem? How could he hit anyone?" Christiana immediately asked.

"Well, Instructor... even a Pig Beast will bite when it is desperate. Nothing is impossible," the student said, his voice growing softer and softer until it was nearly inaudible.

"Instructor, really, do not go. You are so beautiful, just like a goddess, but that Diya is a pervert!" Gaia shouted, drawing the gazes of the surrounding students. He had not expected that himself and immediately felt somewhat guilty. His face reddened as he ingratiatingly said, "Instructor, y-you should at least have Instructor Pig accompany you if you insist on going. It would be safer."

Pig gave Gaia an approving look and secretly nodded. A promising seedling, worth cultivating. "Instructor Christiana, there is actually no need for you to trouble yourself. Diya's constitution is extremely weak. He cannot cultivate Battle Qi, and his body cannot gather any magic power. Only his spiritual power is somewhat stronger than that of ordinary people. But Instructor, you know that summoning requires not only spiritual power, but also a certain amount of magic power as support. Diya's condition determines his potential. No profession is suitable for him. I advised him that since he cannot cultivate, he might as well leave the academy and do some business instead. He should stop wasting his family's money, but he simply would not listen."

"What is Diya's family situation like?" Christiana asked, her interest piqued.

"He has no father or mother. Apparently, only an old man has been taking care of him. That old man works hard every day and has injuries all over his body, yet he still supports Diya. Diya is already fifteen years old, but he has never considered that old man. Sigh, I truly do not know what to say," Pig said sadly.

"According to what you say, Diya is even an unfilial person. Someone like that truly is not worth my effort to change," Christiana said after pondering for a moment, feeling immensely disappointed.

"That is right, Instructor Christiana. This is your first time in Carlos City. I will treat you today and invite you to dine at the Rose Restaurant," Pig said with a smile. The fat on his face was squeezed into a lump, making his eyes and mouth nearly disappear. Yet the fat man was bleeding inside. The Rose Restaurant was the most luxurious restaurant in Carlos City, not somewhere an instructor like him could afford. But for the sake of his future and ideals, Pig decided to endure the pain this once.

"Thank you, Instructor Pig, but I am a little tired today and want to return early to rest. I will be leaving first. Goodbye, everyone. See you tomorrow," Christiana said. As soon as she finished, she walked out of the classroom without waiting for Pig's response. Carlos Academy had arranged a private one-bedroom residence for her.

"Even her rejection is so charming," Pig and the students sighed dreamily as they watched her departing figure. Then they dispersed one by one. Class was over, so naturally they were going home. In the end, only Pig and Gaia remained in the classroom.

"You did well," Pig said with a smile, patting Gaia on the shoulder.

"Instructor, was that not what I should do? I also hope Instructor Pig and Christiana can become a couple," Gaia said with a grin.

"Do not talk nonsense. Christiana has an enormous background," Pig said awkwardly, glancing around. Suddenly, his expression changed. "Gaia, do you think Christiana might possibly take a liking to me?"

"Of course, Instructor Pig. Although your appearance is not the best among the academy's instructors, your strength is the greatest in the Summoning Department. You are also extremely dedicated and treat your students well. Moreover, as Instructor Christiana's assistant, you have plenty of opportunities to get close to her," Gaia analyzed, making Pig beam with delight as his fat belly began to tremble.
