If You Won't Take Your Punishment, Then Take Your Blessing.
For some time now, he had been constantly thinking about taking revenge on Luo Chen.
But Luo Chen gave him the opportunity to learn.
"Of course it's yours. I never expected you to have such a unique talent for academic subjects."
"Even though I haven't looked at the textbooks these past few days, I'm still able to answer the test questions."
"I believe you will go far in your studies in the future."
The others were also shocked when they heard Luo Chen's words.
Mephisto, at such a young age, has already mastered the knowledge of a first-grade Ursus Elementary School.
Only Faust showed no change in expression.
Because he also knows the first-grade test papers from Ursus Elementary School.
However, the fact that Mephisto could still outperform him despite not having studied was something he found remarkable.
Faust was still happy for Mephisto.
Perhaps Ino truly is a genius at learning.
"I will definitely study hard."
Mephisto held the textbook he had been desperately seeking, his vision gradually blurring, but a sinister smile crept onto his lips.
Now, he has put aside both his desire to get revenge on Luo Chen and his sister's instructions.
Learning is the only source of happiness.
[...]
The Positive Growth System, witnessing all of this, became withdrawn and isolated.
[Luo Chen hasn't taught a single class, hasn't taught a single page of the book, and has made everyone learn everything on their own. Is this what teaching in rural areas is like?]
[Yeah?]
Isn't that right?
[As in the example.]
Training and learning time is always fulfilling and passes quickly.
After experiencing the difficulty of learning, Mephisto became determined to study hard, studying every night.
Their exam scores remained consistently in first place.
It's just that it changed from counting backwards to counting forwards.
Other classmates talked about his obsessive study habits, since this guy was studying all the time except when he was sleeping.
He takes a book with him while eating, while using the toilet, and even while running.
Is this person mentally ill?
Could someone really do something like that?
But Mephisto didn't care.
The doubts and discussions of others will only strengthen his resolve to follow his path.
Learning is the only path to happiness.
The more others talked about him and envied his efforts in his studies, the happier he felt.
He not only had to learn himself, but also guide Faust, his sister, and the other members of the Reunion Movement to learn together.
They will learn in the fields, they will learn in the mountains, they will learn in the mobile cities.
As long as life goes on, learning will never stop.
He wants to completely eradicate illiteracy from the Reunion Movement.
Another week passed.
Mephisto learned math on his own, while others were still working on second-grade math problems.
He had already mastered all the compulsory subjects for the third grade of Ursus Elementary School.
Mephisto' academic performance was far ahead of others.
Luo Chen directly appointed Mephisto as the teacher of all students, responsible for teaching the subjects below the third grade.
At the formal appointment ceremony.
Mephisto delivered his acceptance speech in front of all the students.
In his remarks, there was no hatred, no negative emotion whatsoever.
Endless gratitude.
"Thank you, Principal Luo Chen, for making me realize the importance of learning."
"Thank you Faust, for being my companion and for always supporting my studies."
"Thank you to all my classmates for accompanying me through so many days of learning."
"I, Mephisto, became the first teacher at the Luo Chen Military Academy."
"I hope you can walk with me."
Let's work together to change everyone's life with knowledge.
After the speech.
Faust said to him, "Mephisto, you've changed a lot lately."
After only ten days at the school, Faust found himself no longer recognizing Mephisto.
Just ten days ago, Mephisto was a psychologically twisted, dark-hearted, and inhumane problem teenager.
But today, they have become school teachers who can guide them.
"I just understand some things," Mephisto said with a firm look in his eyes.
"In the past, I lacked manners and reverence for life, all because I didn't value learning."
"Now I feel incredibly fulfilled every day. My life is free of fear and anxiety."
"As I gain a more objective understanding of the world, I've discovered that there's no problem on this earth that can't be solved."
Mephisto spoke in a serious tone, in a language Faust could not understand.
This left him with many thoughts.
Ino used to only hide behind him and Talulah.
But now he has become a brave person.
This performance also inspired Faust.
"I'm going to study hard from now on."
"Faust, there's something I must remind you of."
"What?"
"At school, you should address me by my title. Please call me Teacher Mephisto."
Upon hearing this, Faust's previously calm expression began to subtly change.
He opened his mouth slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, only the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, and no sound came out.
The air seemed to freeze for a moment, Mephisto's expectant gaze fixed on Faust's face, awaiting his reaction.
Faust, on the other hand, took a deep breath, as if trying to find the strength to respond from the depths of his heart.
"Alright... Master Mephisto." In the end, Faust relented, though his voice betrayed a hint of reluctance.
"Alright, Faust."
Mephisto nodded slightly in acceptance.
Upon seeing this, Faust's lips twitched.
He suddenly felt that Mephisto's problem hadn't disappeared.
Instead, it was overshadowed by a much bigger problem.
On the other side.
After Mephisto was appointed as a teacher, Luo Chen seemed to have lost interest in teaching.
Not only did he stop keeping an eye on the group of students, he also moved his own living quarters back to the original camp.
The Positive Growth System protested against Luo Chen's blatant slacking off.
[Host, you are currently participating in a volunteer teaching program. Please return to your post.]
"If there's no fun left, why would I go back?"
Luo Chen smiled indifferently.
Luo Chen opened the school so that they would work for him in the future.
What kind of school principal who is also the boss goes around giving lectures to lower-level employees every day?
Isn't this a sign of incompetence?
After smilingly refusing the system's request, Luo Chen didn't forget to add a reminder:
"Oh, and don't forget to give me the reward later."
"I estimate that at Mephisto's current learning pace, they'll be able to finish the primary school curriculum in less than a month."
Will this event be held again in the future?
"I feel that after these 100 people complete their studies, we can open more classes to expand the teaching scale."

Chapter 198 The Patriot's Values Trembled
Early August.
The sun has already set.
While Mephisto was studying for the fourth grade of elementary school.
Through the newly repaired communication equipment, Luo Chen received a new mission from the Empire, along with an additional aid package.
"To accomplish the Empire's great plan."
"1. Order Lermontov to control as many Infected individuals as possible, gain greater influence within the Reunion Movement, and thus prepare for controlling the Sarkaz mercenaries employed by the Empire."
"2. Kill Lieutenant Boris at the Chernobog Border Fortress."
"3. Capture the mines and prison outside Chernobog, and kill Major Balk."
"The Empire will provide two million in military aid. The Command Headquarters' transport convoy will pass through the northern Chernobog route in mid-August. Be prepared for an ambush."
"In addition, the Empire can provide intelligence support; you can apply to the Empire if you need anything."
Luo Chen's lips curled up slightly.
Luckily, I was a spy for Lungmen.
If I were working for that brat Emperor Ursus, seeing this low-paying, high-workload mission, I'd definitely rebel against him.
One is a border fortress garrisoned by two thousand local troops.
One is Chernobog Prison, which holds tens of thousands of prisoners.
The combined garrison at these two locations is larger than the number of men Luo Chen can currently mobilize.
Perhaps the Empire also felt this mission was too difficult, which is why they gave two million units of weaponry.
However, these weapons weren't given away for free; Luo Chen would have to ambush the transport convoy himself.
The empire is using him as Patriot.
