Chapter 282
Nangong Mian was at a loss for words after hearing this.
However, the decision was good news for him.
As they were talking, Huang Quan came out of the room.
After having the breakfast brought by the Grand Priest, the three of them went to the Imperial Academy together.
The Imperial Academy was vast, with many divisions within it.
Apart from the Refining Tools Institute, Spirit Master Institute, and Pill Refining Institute, just talking about the Spirit Master Institute…
To ensure students keep up with their cultivation courses accurately, the academy was divided very precisely. For example, in the Spirit Master Institute, there were ten smaller institutes, each corresponding to the student’s cultivation level. Since Nangong Mian was currently an Eighth-Level Spirit Master, he would be placed in the Eighth Institute. Once his cultivation level advanced to Ninth-Level, he would immediately move to the Ninth Institute.
This was true for the Spirit Master Institute, the Profound Spirit Institute, and the Sacred Spirit Institute.
Not only was the division very detailed, but all the teachers at the Imperial Academy were individuals with three spiritual roots. This requirement was in place because students had different spiritual roots, and teachers with more spiritual roots could better arrange their teaching.
This was something smaller national academies could not achieve.
The Grand Priest took the two directly to the teachers’ working area.
The dean and teachers had already been waiting there.
Nangong Mian, as an Eighth-Level Spirit Master, would enter the Eighth Institute of the Spirit Master Institute.
The teacher handed Nangong Mian the academy uniform and also gave him a card.
The card was issued uniformly to students at the Imperial Academy. It could be used to receive tasks, and as more tasks were completed, the card’s level would be upgraded.
Of course, this card had other functions as well; it was needed for many places within the academy and could also be used for dining and purchasing items.
However, the expenses would need to be self-recharged.
Huang Quan marveled at how convenient the world was now and thought about the Netherworld where she used to live. Although it was the Netherworld, it was still quite convenient. After all, as the human world changed, the Netherworld, too, naturally evolved with it.
After Nangong Mian received his card, the Grand Priest took it and charged ten million into it on the spot.
Nangong Mian was shocked: “Grand Priest, there’s no need for this…”
He had already earned a lot of money betting on Huang Quan to take first place, which was enough for him.
“I told you before, you are my student,” the Grand Priest said to him, “I will teach you other things, so consider this a gift from me as your teacher.”
The other teachers present were: “…” Was this meant for them to hear?
With so many students at the Imperial Academy, if they gave such an amount to each one, they would have gone bankrupt and become beggars long ago, not teachers!
What was the Grand Priest thinking?
Although they were grumbling internally, they did not dare to show it on their faces. The teachers all pretended they hadn’t heard or seen anything.
They had no money to give, but they did have a life to spare.
Seeing that Nangong Mian was unwilling to accept, the Grand Priest said in a stern voice, “Take it.”
Nangong Mian immediately accepted upon hearing this.
The Grand Priest added, “The Imperial Academy is a place where money is spent. You’ll understand that in the future.”
Nangong Mian nodded, indicating that he understood.
Huang Quan watched all of this and felt reassured.
After handling Nangong Mian’s matters, the teacher responsible for enrollment looked at Huang Quan.
“Huang Quan, since you won first place in the Academy’s joint competition and have strong cultivation, we should have assigned you to the Martial Arts Institute. However, the dean said not to treat you as a student.”
“The dean said you can be a teacher.”
Chapter 283: No One Can Teach Her
Becoming a teacher?
Huang Quan, Nangong Mian, and the Grand Priest were all surprised.
They never expected the Imperial Academy to make such a decision.
Huang Quan looked at the teacher and smiled, “Teacher, I don’t have spiritual power. If I were to become a teacher, would I be assigned to the Martial Arts Institute?”
The teacher nodded, “That’s how the dean arranged it.”
“The dean and others think it’s remarkable that you’ve reached such a high level in martial arts without spiritual power, so they hope you can teach the students in the Martial Arts Institute.”
Not all students have spiritual roots, and even if they do, not all of them can cultivate; some have very weak roots and are not suited for spiritual cultivation, so they must follow the martial path.
There are many with high spiritual talents, and many with high martial talents as well. While small country academies might not emphasize martial arts, the Imperial Academy does.
The Imperial Academy not only has spiritual practitioners but also martial artists. As long as students have the talent, they can enter the academy.
After hearing the teacher’s explanation, Huang Quan didn’t respond immediately.
Seeing her silence, the teacher said, “Huang Quan, your martial arts skills are exceptionally high. To be honest, in the Tianqi Empire, no one can match your martial arts skills.”
“It would be better for you to be a teacher rather than attending classes at the Martial Arts Institute.” The teacher paused and then continued, “The dean mentioned that if you become a teacher, your schedule would be more flexible.”
Upon hearing the last part, Huang Quan raised an eyebrow.
The teacher smiled slightly and said nothing more.
The Imperial Academy is a massive institution with countless students. If they wanted to investigate, they could certainly find some clues.
The current situation of the Huang and Nangong families is known to the Imperial Academy. The dean understands that Huang Quan needs time to deal with those matters and also needs time to look for her brother’s whereabouts, which is why they specifically mentioned it.
“Still, no.”
Huang Quan looked at the teacher speaking and smiled, “The Imperial Academy offering such a special privilege for me to become a teacher would be unfair to other teachers.”
“Moreover, I do need time, but a teacher who is often absent would be unfair to the students.” Huang Quan continued, “If I agree to be a teacher, I must be responsible to the students. If I am frequently away, it would be irresponsible to them.”
“I’m better off as a student.”
The teacher looked at Huang Quan, somewhat troubled, “Huang Quan, why don’t you think about it some more?”
Huang Quan shook her head, “Being a student suits me better.”
Seeing Huang Quan’s determination, the teacher sighed, unsure of what to say.
The teacher thought that Huang Quan might choose to become a teacher since teachers have more flexible schedules compared to students. However, to their surprise, Huang Quan was unwilling to choose the teaching position.
Given her current strength, no one in the Martial Arts Institute would be able to teach her!
How should this be arranged?
Seeing that the teacher was genuinely troubled, the Grand Priest said, “Ask the dean.”
The teacher, upon hearing this, clapped his hands and said, “Please wait for a moment, I’ll contact the dean to ask.”
The three nodded.
The teacher quickly returned. Looking at Huang Quan, he said, “Huang Quan, please wait a moment; the dean will be here soon.”
The other teachers were surprised that the dean was coming personally. If the dean were coming because of the Grand Priest, they wouldn’t be surprised, but the Grand Priest had already said there was no need for the dean to come over specifically.
But now the dean was coming, not for the Grand Priest, but for Huang Quan.
The chapter ends here. I hope you enjoyed the reading it !
