Four Eyed Owl Flender (2)

Tang San with a slight smile said:

"It was only luck, that's all."

The strength was his own, he did not need to convince others of anything.

Dai Mubai introduced the four new students' names and spirits to Ma Hongjun. As for Tang San's true strength he did not explain too much, merely hinting to Ma Hongjun that it was best not to provoke him.

Introductions complete, Dai Mubai went on:

"Everyone must hereafter live and cultivate together. Formal titles aren't necessary. Including to you four new arrivals, the Academy altogether just has seven students, that's all. Little Ao and Fatty both call me boss Dai because I'm a bit older than the both of them. You calling me Mubai is alright, with Hongjun directly call him Fatty, Oscar that fellow, you can call him little Ao or maybe Big Sausage Uncle will do. Tang San, can I call you little San from now on?"

Tang San nodded, indicating he had no objection. Regarding this Shrek Academy, although he still had not had much contact, he already had some sense of belonging. Dai Mubai, Oscar, Ma Hongjun, these three students each had their peculiarities but none provoked his dislike.

Not waiting for Oscar to speak himself, Ning Rongrong straightforward quickly said:

"Calling me Rongrong is alright. My close family and friends all call me like that."

Her smiling expression always on her face, simple words, virtually pulled close the distance with everyone.

Xiao Wu's address naturally need not change, and as Dai Mubai's gaze turned to Zhu Zhuqing, Zhu Zhuqing stood up,

"I've eaten my fill."

Finished speaking, she turned and left for outside.

Ma Hongjun somewhat astonished said towards Dai Mubai:

"Boss Dai, aren't you known as among women as not particularly unfavorable, and a reputed lady killer? How is this newly arrived pretty girl not even willing to as much as look at you?"

Dai Mubai laughed wryly, shaking his head, and did not further explain.

Tang San said to Dai Mubai:

"Mubai, we all are newly arrived, give us an explanation on the Academy's rules and classes."

Dai Mubai managed to pull back his thoughts from Zhu Zhuqing, saying:

"The Academy doesn't have any particular rules. Simply said, just don't rape or pillage, but they encourage fights and encourage gambling."

Tang San's face revealed a smile, the Monster Academy sure enough was worthy of being a Monster Academy, including teaching methods everything was substantially different from Nuoding Academy.

Dai Mubai explained:

"The teachers believe that fighting is the best shortcut to becoming proficient with one's spirit, so to strengthen combat experience is extremely important. But gambling is a mind's game, regarding strengthening mental qualities, to increase one's power of perception and judgement all have very great benefits. Of course, everything must stop before going too far. Simply put, if when fighting you don't kill people and when gambling you do not lose your pants it's no problem."

"As for arranging classes, I don't know about later, because the time when our classes appeared would always change; after all we only have so many many people that the teachers' quantity are even more than us students. Therefore, the Academy would according to our circumstances adjust the courses separately. But today's courses I can be sure on, the most important one is receiving money. The Academy tuition is one hundred gold coins every year. To all you Spirit Grandmaster level Spirit Masters, this should be without any issues."

Listening to Dai Mubai's words up to here, Xiao Wu couldn't help but interpose:

"Boss Dai, yesterday you said the school was very poor. But why is the Academy poor? We met several teachers with more than sixtieth rank, even over seventieth rank. According to level, the stipend they are capable of receiving from Spirit Hall receive in itself is an astronomical figure, supporting such a small Academy should not count as anything."

According to Xiao Wu's speculation, Spirit Masters' stipend was every month one gold coin, Spirit Grandmasters' was ten gold coins, reaching Spirit Elder should be a hundred gold coins, Spirit Ancestor was one thousand, Spirit King ten thousand, Spirit emperor should be a hundred thousand gold spirit coins every month. Let alone that Zhao Wuji they confronted yesterday, that Spirit Sage existence was one million gold coins every month, even thinking of it was a scary number.

Dai Mubai shook his head, saying:

"If it was like you said, the Academy of course need not worry about any income issues. But reality really isn't like this. The stipend from Spirit Hall is all funds allocated by the Empire, issued in its place by Spirit Hall. The stipend is only given up to Spirit Elder level, every month drawing one hundred gold coins, like me right now. But after surpassing the Spirit Elder level, not only does the subsidy not increase, but will even disappear. In other words, including Spirit Ancestor, Spirit Ancestor or higher Spirit Masters, are unable to receive any stipend from Spirit Hall. Every month when you go to Spirit Hall to draw the stipend, all will have a spirit power test. That is to ensure your spirit power does not exceed the fortieth rank: when you exceed fortieth rank the stipend immediately stops being provided."

This time even Tang San couldn't help but be curious,

"Why would it be like this? The higher the Spirit Master's strength, ordinarily the more valuable the talent."

Dai Mubai said.

"But, this must start with reality. Although Spirit Master is a noble vocation, genuine Spirit Masters' quantity is not much. But it still is considered a not too small community. You should also consider, if according to the stipend's scaling provided, on reaching Spirit Sage level drawing a stipend that was a million gold spirit coins every month, in one year it's twelve million gold spirit coins. What kind of enormous sum is that? Let alone other places, if our Academy's teachers drew their stipend according to their strength, if it all was provided by the Empire, our Academy's teachers income in one year would overtake one tenth of Suotuo City's population's income. What kind of enormous number is that? But in the entire Empire, although the quantity of high level Spirit Masters is few, drawing this kind of stipend it would also be sufficient to drag down the entire Empire."

"Consequently, the Empire stipulates that the stipend is only provided to encourage and assist lower level spirit masters to advance cultivation, to as quickly as possible promote strength. But reaching past fortieth rank, even if it was a fairly formidable Spirit Master, they would have to choose to swear fealty to the Empire or join the army. Like that, the Empire can issue corresponding remuneration. Of course, Spirit Masters also have authority to choose freely, throwing in with certain clans one can receive considerable income."
