278. Theory.

The grandmaster was practically bouncing with excitement as he led me to the dean's office to get registered. his thought were he was hoping to pick up a nice pearl on the beach only to find out its a diamond worth much more and he wanted to go get his things ready and prepare to raise this newly found diamond.

Nuoding primary spirit master academy was not as big as it appeared outside, and was mainly divided into a few areas: the main school building, a sports ground and a dormitory to the east of the sports ground.

Even though it was only an elementary spirit master academy, this place's requirements towards students were extremely strict; even if the home was near the academy, students must still live in the academy under a unified regime.

At the dean's office on the main school building's first floor was a sixty year old teacher who was in charge of dealing with new students and two additional teachers in their thirties who assisted him.

Grandmaster placed the certificate he held on the desk, and said towards that elderly teacher "Director Su, this is this year's working student delivered by Holy Spirit village, I will trouble you to help him register at once."

Director Su, his face covered by a smile, said."Why Grandmaster, you have come, a rare visitor, ah! Please have a seat."

Grandmaster shook his head, and said towards me."You enroll here on your own, these several teachers can tell you what to do. I'll leave first, I will go find you later."

I nodded, and said:

"Goodbye teacher."

Grandmaster revealed a smile, patted my head, then turned and left.

Hearing how I addressed Grandmaster, director Su appeared very interested,

"Lad, you called Grandmaster teacher? He is not our academy's teacher."

"But he is my teacher."

Director Su stared blankly."You acknowledged Grandmaster as your teacher?"

His expression was somewhat queer, a kind of expression as if holding back laughter. "Is something wrong with that?" I ask with a bit of venom in my voice coming out. Really what is with this school and it's people.

Director Su repeatedly shook his head and said smilingly. "Not at all, not at all. I did not think Grandmaster also could accept disciples. Only, you are still originally an academy student, and hereafter must comply equally with the academy's system of regulations, you understand?"

I just nodded.

The two teachers to the side of director Su did not have as much self-restraint as him. One of them grabbed the spirit hall certificate for a look. Smiling, he said,

"Ryan, right? As an academy teacher, I must instruct you at once. A master cannot be acknowledged casually. Any spirit master, not to mention denying academy graduation, also can only acknowledge a spirit master, otherwise one cannot be accepted by the common people. Do you really believe Grandmaster is quite suitable? Oh, you have innate full spirit power. What a pity, the spirit is blue silver grass."

Looking at the words innate full spirit power on the certificate, the faces of all the teachers present displayed astonishment, but blue silver grass caused their awe to turn into pity.

I just gave them a look like they were retards. Director Su glared at the younger teachers beside him, and said. "Even if Grandmaster has a somewhat eccentric disposition, but from a certain point of view, with respect to spirits he is nevertheless an 'unequalled' existence. Even if your spirit is blue silver grass, acknowledging him as master is of no concern. Well, that's how it is. These are your things, provided for free by the academy. You live at the dormitory, room seven. The teacher responsible there can arrange your work as a working student. Go."

"Thank you, sir."

Taking the things director Su handed over, i turned and left the administration office.

What Director Su gave me was a standard Nuoding primary spirit master academy uniform, white texture looking very neat. Just now when leaving the administration office, I vaguely heard from inside the office the words spoken by those younger teachers.

"Grandmaster really is 'unequalled', only, unequalled in theory. Of course, he still must put those theories to actual work. Director, I still remember Grandmaster had some ten great core spirit competences theory, right. That was simply too ridiculous."

"Enough, Grandmaster is the dean's friend. You must not make such presumptuous evaluations. Although there is no proof his theory is correct, but no one has proved his theory wrong. In the spirit world, Grandmaster is indeed a brilliant and famous person."

"Incorrect, director, a brilliant and famous clown should be correct. Everyone just acts if he is a joke, nothing more."

Hearing the sound of the conversation inside, my footsteps only halted for a moment, then i proceeded to leave. The corners of my mouth exuded a trace of disdain; of course it was not directed at my just acknowledged teacher, rather at the three teachers in the administration office.

Theory unequalled? Right now his biggest necessity was theory. A master's physical strength could not be passed on to the disciple - what was passed down was knowledge. Those people did not understand even this much, even though they were academy teachers.

Fighting off the urge to cleanse the stupid off of me from being in contact with such idiots I made my way towards the dorm I would be living in.
