After returning to the academy, Xu Sheng headed straight for the Academic Affairs office...
Along the way, the female students he encountered all lit up with excitement and greeted him, "Good day, Teacher Xu!"
"Teacher Xu, can we take a photo with you?"
"Teacher Xu, Teacher Xu, could you tell us about your recent duel with Teacher Wu?"
Hearing this, Xu Sheng's lips curved into a slight smile, "Sorry, I have to go to the Academic Affairs office now. We can talk about it next time we meet!"
After speaking, he gently waved at them...
Although he refused them, this unintentional gesture instantly made these female students' admiration for him surge...
"As expected of Xu the God, even his rejection is so cool! Darn it, I'm completely falling for him!"
"So handsome! No matter when I see Teacher Xu, I immediately feel a surge of energy!"
"I'm so envious of Class Zero, not only do they have Teacher Xu's guidance, but also Teacher Wu's, they have both gods to themselves!"
"Stop it, stop it, I'll get too jealous if you continue! Who's to blame for us not having the ability to join Class Zero, eh!"
When he arrived outside the Academic Affairs office, Xu Sheng didn't knock but directly stepped inside...
He remembered that Long Hengxu was looking for him before, so he took this opportunity to see what was going on!
Just as he entered, he heard Long Hengxu speaking in a pained tone to Yu Zhen, "Principal, we really don't have to do this, right? This is also a significant expense for the academy!"
He couldn't believe that Yu Zhen was willing to pay such a tremendous cost to secure opportunities for every Class Zero student to use the Spirit Ascension Platform!
Of course, the most important part wasn't just this, but the duration!!
Every week, each student from Class Zero had the chance to enter the Spirit Ascension Platform! And for one person to reach the primary Spirit Ascension Platform, the cost was five hundred thousand federation coins!
A simple calculation revealed that East Sea Academy had to pay several millions of Federation Coins a week just for Class Zero!
Just thinking about it, one could understand how generous they were towards Class Zero!
Hearing this, Yu Zhen gave the former a displeased glare, "You don't understand a thing. Since it's Class Zero, they naturally deserve the best benefits. Otherwise, why set up such a special class? Besides, this is also a form of investment!"
The more the academy invests in the students of Class Zero now, the more they will help the East Sea Academy in the future. It's reciprocal!
Seeing the two still in a heated debate, completely unaware of his presence, Xu Sheng knocked on the door a bit helplessly to remind them, "Director Long, Principal!"
At the sound, Long Hengxu and Yu Zhen both stopped their discussion and turned their attention to Xu Sheng at the door...
The former said in surprise, "Eh? Teacher Xu, when did you get here? I didn't see you when I went to your room earlier."
"I just got back a short while ago! Director Long and Principal Yu seem to be discussing something intensely. Is there an issue?"
Yu Zhen coughed slightly and said proudly, "Teacher Xu, your timing is perfect! Take a look at this!"
After speaking, Long Hengxu on the side handed the form he was holding to Xu Sheng...
He took it and glanced over it briefly, puzzled, "Hmm? This is... a quota for the Spirit Ascension Platform? Is this so rare?"
The list bore the names of the various students from Class Zero, but there was also an unfamiliar name, Xu Xiao Yan!
But he didn't pay it any mind, perhaps it was a relative of Yu Zhen's or Long Hengxu's?
Yu Zhen, sitting in the chair, couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, "…Teacher Xu, you don't know about the Spirit Ascension Platform?"
After managing to secure these slots for Class Zero with great difficulty, who would have thought that Xu Sheng, a teacher, didn't even know about the Spirit Ascension Platform??
And here he'd been boasting for so long!
Spirit Ascension Platform slot!
Xu Sheng raised an eyebrow and said, "It should be some kind of thing from the Spirit Pagoda organization. As for what it specifically does, I'm not sure."
Long Hengxu caught the frustrated expression on Principal Yu's face and, holding back a laugh, explained, "Ahem... Teacher Xu, the Spirit Ascension Platform indeed is a unique technology of the Spirit Pagoda organization that can enhance the lifespan and strength of Spirit Souls. However, getting the opportunity to use it once, especially a slot!!"
Xu Sheng immediately understood and exclaimed, "I see, I didn't expect Principal Yu to be so generous. On behalf of the students in Class Zero, I thank you!"
Another unfamiliar thing for me, but it might be worth checking out this so-called Spirit Pagoda!
Hearing this, Principal Yu sent Long Hengxu a look that said "You know how to handle things," and silently thought, "Phew... that's a relief, I feel so much better now..."
At this moment, he felt a comfortable sense that his efforts hadn't been in vain...
After placing the form back on the desk, Xu Sheng said indifferently, "Is there anything else? If not, I'll be leaving first."
If I'm not mistaken, the next class should be mine!
Principal Yu shook his head, but then emphasized, "That's all for the most part. However, Teacher Xu, considering East Sea Academy's substantial investment in the students of Class Zero, maybe you should tell them..."
"Of course, without making them feel guilty. Just keeping in mind the kindness of East Sea Academy is enough!"
East Sea Academy invested so much in them, that's kind enough, right?
So doing this isn't really too much, is it?
Feeling grateful to the academy in the future wouldn't be too much trouble, would it?
Director Long, feeling somewhat embarrassed, covered his forehead and muttered under his breath, "Principal, you must be kidding..."
The academy has given so much to the students of Class Zero; they surely will feel a sense of gratitude...
But to speak of it outright, it seems petty, a narrow-minded approach!
Xu Sheng simply ignored this nonsense and said casually, "Got it. Then I'm leaving now!"
With that, he turned and left the Academic Affairs Office...
Subsequently, feeling proud, he asked Director Long, "Director Long, what do you think of my handling?"
If that student from Class Zero gains remarkable strength and fame in the future, East Sea Academy can rise with them!
Upon hearing this, Long Hengxu simply maintained a forced smile and responded perfunctorily, "Hehe—Hehe."
...
After arriving outside the Class Zero classroom, he could vaguely see Wu Changkong still earnestly teaching, with no intention of stopping!
Without waiting for him to speak up, the other's gaze had already darted over to him. He saw him "Hmph" coldly, and without further hesitation, he walked down from the podium, past Xu Sheng, and left...
Seeing Xu Sheng take the podium, Wei Xiaofeng excitedly said, "Teacher Xu! You're finally back!"
Zhang Yangzi knocked on his head, saying, "Teacher Wu's lessons are just too rich in content; my head is going to explode!"
Wang Jinxi said coldly, "I really don't know how Tang Wulin and Xie Xie managed to endure it!"
Xie Xie retorted, "You're the one who is the thing! Your whole family are things!"
Seeing this, Tang Wulin said somewhat helplessly, "Actually... that's common knowledge, it was taught a long time ago. Didn't Teacher Xu ever teach it to you?"
Upon hearing this, Wei Xiaofeng and the others all took in a breath of cold air...
Apparently, he never did!
