Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong both ran towards the area between the teachers and students, loudly shouting Reporting in. as they did so.
The teacher in charge of the registration imdiately paused. This teacher looked fifty-or-so-years old, and had a tall fra. He was dark-skinned and beardless, and had a stern expression on his face.
What class are you two from? What happened?
Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong both recognised him. This teacher was called Du Weilun, and he was the director of the outer courtyards Martial Soul Departnt. He possessed the greatest authority in the outer courtyard.
Huo Yuhao shouted, Reporting in, Teacher Du. Were Class 1s Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong. We were late due to excessive cultivation.
Du Weiluns face darkened. Youre even late to the assessnt? Have you no concept of ti? As a punishnt, youll be sweeping all the corridors of the freshn teaching blocks two days after the tournant ends. Return to your team.
Yes sir. Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong hurriedly replied. They inwardly let out a sigh of relief. As long as they didnt lose their qualification to participate in the tournant, everything else was fine. The two hurriedly walked to the area where Class 1s teams were and stood together with Xiao Xiao.
Du Weilun glanced at the nearby Zhou Yi before continuing to register the other students. With his temper, if any other students were late, itd be very likely for him to directly strip them of their qualifications to participate in the ranking tournant. In any case, theyd have passed the freshn assessnt anyway. However, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong were unique in the sense that they had perford exceptionally well during the round-robin tournant; theyd obtained a perfect score. This was the reason why the iron-faced director let them off leniently.
Although results werent everything in Shrek Academy, students who were strong and obtained good results would have preferential treatnt. This was the case in any academy.
Whered you two go to? Just wait till Old Lady Zhou takes care of you guys once todays matches are over. Look at her eyes; they look like blades. If looks could kill, you two wouldve died by a thousand cuts. Xiao Xiao spoke unhappily.
Wang Dong spoke with a depressed look on his face. Stop grumbling. This is all Huo Yuhaos fault. If he didnt drag out to compare notes with him, making lose track of ti, how could we be late?
During the journey back, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong had agreed to keep their martial soul fusion skill a secret for the ti being. After all, they werent planning on using it during the freshn assessnt. They agreed to only tell this piece of good news to Teacher Zhou, in order to appease her thunderous fury while letting her give them so advice regarding their cultivations. Theyd then show it off in future assessnts once they were adept at using it.
The director of the outer courtyards Martial Soul Departnt, Du Weilun, quickly finished taking attendance, and what followed that was the drawing of lots. This was only a freshn assessnt, so there werent too many complicated procedures involved. Huo Yuhao represented his team to draw lots. The sixty-four teams involved in the knock-out tournant were divided into thirty-two areas where they would fight each other.
Yesterday, the students had had an entire days worth of rest, and the layout of the Assessnt Area had been changed during that day as well. They rely changed the positioning of the partitioning walls, re-dividing the Assessnt Area into sixteen areas. This ti, the area of every single sub-area was increased several-fold, allowing the participating students to have even more space to utilise.
The rules of the knock-out tournant were very simple; there would be one match in the morning and one match in the afternoon every day, and eliminated teams would have to return to class, while victorious teams would continue to compete. After three days, the top three teams would be decided.
After the lots were drawn, the round of sixty-four imdiately started, and thirty-two matches were simultaneously held. This way, they could shorten the ti used for the tournant and give victorious students ample ti to rest for their afternoon match.
This ti, Huo Yuhaos team was sent to the 15th area; their proctor had been changed as well. This ti, the proctor in charge of them was a thirty-or-so-year-old female teacher who looked extrely good-natured.
When they drew lots earlier, they only obtained a number. Hence, they didnt even know who theyd be facing. Once they arrived, they were sowhat speechless. Their opponents in the first match was actually a few of their classmates, resulting in this knock-out tournant becoming a civil war.
Their three opponents were people who Huo Yuhaos team recognised. One of them had even attempted to challenge Wang Dong. According to Wang Dong, that fellow had been imdiately humbled after Wang Dong privately beat him up.
Zhou Yis judgent was extrely precise. Since she had chosen Huo Yuhaos team as Class 1s seeded team, their strength was naturally sothing that the other teams couldnt compete against. The match didnt last for long. Although their opponents were extrely resilient, the match was finished within ten minutes due to Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao working together, along with the assistance of Huo Yuhaos Spiritual Detection. Thus, Huo Yuhaos team successfully entered the top 32.
However, just as they walked out of the Assessnt Area, their originally joyful expressions instantly vanished. This was because the gloomy-faced Old Lady Zhou was waiting for them by the exit to the Assessnt Area.
Xiao Xiao, you can go back and rest first. You two, follow . With that, she coldly humphed and turned away.
Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong simultaneously felt a chill up their spines. Fortunately, they had already made their preparations. After glancing at each other, they followed Zhou Yi. Xiao Xiao could only gaze at them with an expression that said you can fend go for yourselves.
This ti, Zhou Yi unexpectedly brought them straight to her office. As the teacher in charge of Class 1, her office was located in the Administration Area that was located behind the black and purple buildings of the outer courtyards teaching blocks, as well as the northern area of the Dormitory Area. Her office was situated on the first floor, and she was the only person who was currently working there.
After following Zhou Yi into the Office, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong couldnt help but feel astonished.
Unexpectedly, the cold and extrely strict Teacher Zhou had decorated her office in an extrely elegant manner. The walls of her office were painted a light pink color, and her table was made with a special type of wood that was light red. Furthermore, there was a large red sofa that was ant for guests along with a few other decorations. There was also a small door that seed to lead to a lounge. One had to admit that Shrek Academy treated its teachers relatively well; even teachers in charge of freshn classes had their own private offices.
Huo Yuhao was the last person to walk into the room, and he carefully shut the door upon entering. Zhou Yi was already seated on the large red sofa, and she crossed her arms in front of her chest. She spoke coldly. Tell , just what in the world were you two doing? Youre really good! You two were late for two consecutive days. Since youve passed the freshn assessnt, your wings have hardened, and I cant control you anymore. Is that what you think? Let tell you this. As long as I will it, I can expel you two from the academy with a single word. This world doesnt lack any geniuses, and Ive expelled many of them myself. Theres only one reason why I would expel a geniusand thats because they werent suited to beco an expert with their personality. Give a good reason why I shouldnt expel the two of you.
Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong glanced at each other, and Wang Dong bumped him, indicating that he should explain.
Huo Yuhao could only brace himself and say, Teacher Zhou, sorry. We were in the wrong. During these three months, he could be considered to have beco familiar with Zhou Yis temper. Arguing with her had no benefits; itd just enrage this Old Lady Zhou further. If you had a good attitude, you could receive a smaller punishnt.
