After the academy started its sester, Guan Tong's life also beca stable.
He needed to teach three classes every day, each lasting about an hour, so the overall intensity wasn't particularly high.
Aside from the three fixed hours of classes, he roughly needed to spend another 1-2 hours handling miscellaneous tasks and answering student questions, totaling about five hours spent at the academy each day.
This was still acceptable to him, and from the students' feedback, it seed his teaching effectiveness as the new teacher was quite good.
On the Ascendant Ho forum, a student specifically created a post titled "Students of the Mind Power Flow Class, Co In," and many students had left comnts inside.
"This substitute Lecturer actually teaches pretty well! All practical techniques, nothing flashy or overly complicated."
"Lecturer Guan Tong is fine except for being a bit aloof."
"By the way, what do you all think his relationship with Lecturer Jingyi is? I know Lecturer Jingyi used to be from a Martial Arts School, are they senior sister and junior brother?"
"Teacher Guan is amazing! Yesterday, with just one sentence, he clarified a problem that had confused
for several days. I think his understanding of Mind Power Flow might not be inferior to Lecturer Jingyi's anymore!"
"You're all focused on the new Lecturer? Am I the only one more interested in that girl from Xisiya? Does anyone know anything about her situation?"
"I still prefer Lecturer Jingyi, her approachability is way stronger than this Guan Tong's!"
Guan Tong noticed that no one in the post criticized his teaching ability. Most of the complaints about him were concentrated on aspects like "aloof," "doesn't talk much," and "not friendly or approachable enough."
He personally felt he was actually okay. Although he wasn't the type of warm, smiley teacher who constantly wore a grin, he didn't think he was aloof to that degree. He always patiently answered students' questions.
But it didn't matter. As long as he guaranteed teaching quality and fulfilled his responsibilities as a teacher, that was enough.
Guan Tong closed the computer, stood up, walked outside the door, and stretched.
Coal Ball was jumping around on a large tree outside the door, becoming more and more wild compared to before.
"A new rule will be announced tomorrow. I wonder what type it will be."
Although the Interval Period between these two rules was as long as two months, in reality, many people, troubled by the secondary disasters from the earthquake, didn't get sufficient rest.
For many people who spent a long ti on city relocations, or for official personnel in extrely busy roles like those working at the Ergency Managent Bureau, the rest effect of these two months was actually worse than the previous one month or even half a month.
Therefore, everyone inwardly hoped that this ti, a relatively easy rule to pass would be announced, which would also indirectly extend the rest period.
Guan Tong himself didn't feel much pressure. His physical condition was good, his reserve Mind Power was ample, and his Personal Terminal panel looked quite impressive.
【Na: Guan Tong】
【Nickna: Shadow】
【Title: Civilization Observer】
【Mind Power: 879 (879) (196530)】
【Ascension Coins: 3,156,280】
【Overall Biotric Rating: Excellent】
With an Upper Limit of 879 Mind Power, he was confident he was currently one of the Ascendants with the highest Upper Limit in the world.
Moreover, this number was still increasing rapidly. The natural growth rate of his Mind Power Upper Limit had now broken through to an average of 1 point every three days, which ant about 10 points per month.
If there were no additional boosts, then in another two months, his Mind Power Upper Limit could break through 900, and reaching the major milestone of 1000 was not far off at all.
Having a high Mind Power Upper Limit had another benefit: the amount of reserve Mind Power he could store daily was also much greater.
According to the 10:1 conversion ratio, storing twice a day ant he could store close to 200 points of Mind Power daily, which amounted to 6000 points per month. Although it wasn't enough to deploy a large-scale Shadow Domain, it was more than sufficient for other tasks.
He was short a few hundred thousand Ascension Coins, mostly because he had previously used them to purchase recovery and healing items for Shi Jingyi to try, hoping to help her regain consciousness as soon as possible.
However, he now felt that the biggest advantage on his panel was the "Civilization Observer" title. Its insight effect had played a significant role in previous battles.
When the squad sent by "Big Sister" attacked him, the corresponding effects of each person's items and abilities would appear before him, allowing him to respond calmly.
While this made him feel fortunate, it also occasionally made him think of the two people who gave him the fragnts: the snake-eyed woman from Sakura Prayer Country, and the person from Suroma whose nickna was "Primordial One."
Both were people from their respective countries' official forces.
Especially the latter. When handing over the fragnt, the proposed exchange condition was to request assistance once.
During the earthquake disaster, Guan Tong had even wondered if the king of Suroma would contact him, asking him to fulfill the promise and help Suroma weaken the Geomantic Pillar of the magnitude 10 earthquake.
He had even agonized over whether to agree or refuse if the other party made that request.
In the end, the king of Suroma never contacted him. Now, several months had passed, and the request still hadn't been made, leaving Guan Tong with a lingering sense of sothing unresolved, which wasn't very comfortable.
As for the snake-eyed woman from Sakura Prayer Country, Guan Tong had told her on Rieming Island back then that if she couldn't stay in Sakura Prayer Country because of handing over the fragnt, she could contact him.
Now Rieming Island had sunk in the earthquake, and the other party had also had no news all this ti. He didn't know the specific situation.
Guan Tong would think about these things during his leisure ti. After all, as he ca into contact with more and more people and his influence grew, it was becoming increasingly difficult to live as before, just guarding his own small plot of land.
...
The next day, Guan Tong woke up inside the shelter.
He hadn't slept in the Lecturer dormitory last night because the academy had already issued a notice that classes would be suspended during the rule period depending on the situation.
After the rule was announced, the Counterasures Research Office would conduct an assessnt. If it didn't affect classes, they would continue; if it did, classes would be suspended until the rule ended.
Like the previous ninth rule, 【Nightmare Beasts in the Fog】, after discovering that thermal weapons were effective against Nightmare Beasts, the academy quickly resud normal classes, almost unaffected.
Moreover, Lecturers and students were different. Students were not usually allowed to leave the campus freely, but there were no such requirents for Lecturers. So, whether Guan Tong stayed in the dormitory was entirely up to him.
He could perfectly well finish his classes and then use Body Swap to return to his own shelter. However, to avoid drawing attention, he would still stay in the dormitory every few days for a day or two, so others could see him.
Now, Guan Tong sat on a stool by the door, silently waiting for ti to pass.
As soon as nine o'clock arrived, the voice of the Fire Thief sounded.
