Ding, ding, ding!
The bell rang for class, and everyone hurriedly finished breakfast and headed to the main training ground.
The Dean and the other teachers had yet to arrive. Only one person was on the grounds: Oscar, who had not eaten breakfast in the dining hall.
Oscar looked healthier today than he usually did.
His alluring eyes had a certain depth to them, and a devil-may-care smile hung on his face. No matter how one looked at him, he resembled a dashing young nobleman.
Unfortunately, the sausage he held in his hand and gnawed on completely ruined that impression.
The person teaching them today was Shrek Academy's Dean, Owl Flender. The group waited nearly half an hour before Flender finally arrived.
Flender swept his gaze over the seven of them and said, "Four more Little Monsters have joined us this year. However, for certain reasons, Xiao Wu and Tang San suffered rather serious injuries. I won't charge you for the treatment, but you still have to pay your tuition."
"Later, have Mu Bai take you to Teacher Li, who handles our finances. One hundred Gold Soul Coins each."
Dai Mubai, Tang San, and Xiao Wu nodded. "Yes, Dean."
"Today's daytime lesson is mainly for Ning Rongrong and Oscar. The rest of you will have your lessons tonight."
"If you want to watch, you can stay on the sidelines. If not, you can go straight back and rest."
That was what Flender said, but his expression all but had "go back if you dare, and you'll get extra training" written across it.
Flender walked up to Oscar and Ning Rongrong and said, "You two are both support-system Soul Masters, with no offensive abilities whatsoever. When an enemy attacks, all you can do is run. Keep running until our reinforcements arrive."
