The classroom or in this case the open area on top of the tower was where the class was being held. Many cultivators sat on the artificially made ground that looked like a garden and was facing a small lecture podium.
Elder Gu Lei walked up to the podium and waited for to take a seat.
I looked around and noticed a couple of familiar faces sitting among the large group of cultivators. They were all sitting with writing scrolls and pens at the ready waiting for the elder to speak so they would note everything down.
I find it pretty interesting that so many cultivators with great ntal powers and mory needed writing tools, but I wasn't going to question it.
Of everyone sitting, there was Wei Lei, who seed pretty annoyed by my presence here, and had the most hostile gaze looking my way. A couple of yellow robes that I had seen in Master Rain's sermon, and then finally Yu Yu who seed to have taken a good spot in dead center.
Everyone seed to want to sit next to her, simply because she was the most beautiful woman of the whole class. However, her icy personality and aura refrained anyone from sitting too close so there was still room.
"Take a seat Shen Bao," spoke elder Gu Lei gently.
I walked up among the students and sat right next to Yu Yu.
"What is that idiot doing? He dares sit next to the Class Fairy!"
"Fool, he'll be embarrassed once she orders him to sit away from her, not even Wei Lei could sit next to her, who does he think himself?"
And more comnts down this sa line continued.
Everyone seed surprised at first and thought that I was probably going to get ridiculed.
'Bruh, these cultivators I swear, could you not keep those thoughts to yourself, do you really all just want to... -god damn this expression- have your face slapped?'
"Good morning Shen Bao," she spoke.
"Morning Yu-Yu, did you rest well?"
"Yes, I rested as soon as you left, let's pay attention now, the teacher has been waiting for you," she said.
"Right," I said then focused my eyes on the elder.
The rest of the class were too stunned to speak, since not only was I welcod and addressed warmly I also had 'small talk' with their idol.
Bunch of centuries old highschoolers... old in body but not in mind.
"Good, now that everyone is here, we'll need to go back on a few matters that we've discussed in the past month, Junior Shen Bao hadn't been here so we should at least give him a speed recap," Elder Gu Lei said.
"Fath - I an, Elder Gu Lei, it is unfair to the rest of the class that we'll have to waste ti recapping everything we did for a whole month, it is not the class's fault to bear the mistakes of this person, why should we go over matters that we already went through once, also the exams are soon and we need to move on..."
'This dude really hates ,'
Elder Gu Lei seed annoyed with his own son's statent, and wanting to interject, he seed to have noticed that everyone in the class was of the sa opinion. Mostly because I was sitting next to Yu Yu...
"I don't mind that. You may move on to your next subject, I'll just have to ask Yu Yu for her notes for the past month later tonight," I said grinning.
My words implied many things, and this seed to have caused the angry jealous peeps in the class to fu even more with anger.
Serves you all right, you're asking for it.
"Then that is well, we'll be resuming our topic of Conductive Qi Circuits, who here can give an example of simple one layer Conductive Qi Circuit?" the elder said.
The first to jump was his own son, trying his hardest to impress everyone.
He then began moving his finger writing a few inscriptions in dazzling golden writing.
It was...flamboyant, and frankly pretty neat.
"Ah...good, that's an example we can work with. You can sit down," Gu Lei said.
The elder then began explaining how to apply this inscription and its limitations.
A few students asked questions about how to use this inscription and where and the teacher seed vehent about giving detailed borderline boring explanations of every aspect the inscription can be used on.
"Why are you listening to this old fart? You know better than this...I thought the heavenly academy was going to teach you matters of higher importance..."
The rudest words to speak in a class are this kind, to belittle the teacher in front of his students, calling him simple and an old fart...
However, the one who spoke them, and was sitting right next to , which honestly freaked the ever living fuck out of my soul since I never realized when he had arrived...
This man, was the only person in the world who had the right to speak these words and not be considered an idiot.
Turning slightly, my brows seed to go down in a frown, "Master Rain, what are you doing here?" I asked.
This caused the rest of the classroom to be in imdiate shock.
Many know of the deeds of Master Rain, his power, intellect, eccentricity and certainly his cruelty. So, them panicking was a given.
"Shut your yaps and sit down, I'm only here as on observer," Master Rain addressed the whole class.
Which caused them to shut up imdiately.
"Master Rain, I'm humbled and honored to have a person such as you co to my class," the elder said giving a light bow.
"Whatever, just tell , why are you teaching sothing so basic..."
"If I may," I spoke. "This is actually the first ti I ever took a lesson about inscriptions," I said.
"But you know more than this, far more than this, shouldn't you seek knowledge in Saint Qi inscriptions? Your style and knowledge of Qi based inscriptions...dare I say is almost on par with mine, why do you waste ti here," Master Rain said.
This made everyone look at dumbly, the new guy actually knows almost enough to be comparable to master Rain what nonsense is this?
"I wouldn't dare say I know as much as you do, I still have a long way ahead of , but I've never been personally taught, this is a good learning experience, also, its always good to go back to the basics. I have information and knowledge, but that doesn't imdiately translate to wisdom and application. I know many words and letters, but I never personally saw how another cultivator, or inscriber work their way with inscriptions. I made my own style but never saw the 'common style' so is it no worth learning?" I asked Master Rain.
This gave Elder GU Lei a lot of...Face, and it was clear from his happy expression, and at the sa ti I gave Master Rain 'Face' by saying I was not as knowledgeable as him.
I was imdiately in a good position between the two.
"Well spoken Shen Bao, as you see Master Rain, I may not be as proficient as you in the grand sche of inscription making, but I'm confident in my knowledge of the basics. I could hone this class and this child to make better use of their current knowledge," he said.
"Then proceed, I won't interrupt you anymore, however, I'll be staying here, watching," Master Rain said and closed his eyes.
The class seed a bit too stuffy with Master Rain's presence, but Gu Lei didn't seem to be phased by this monster, and continued his lecture.
And honestly, I was impressed, this guy, thought he said he isn't as knowledgeable as master Rain, he managed to bring up a slew of options and thods to use that simple inscription. And so of these techniques, I only saw in Master Rain's own inscription thods...
The old man continued the class, and no one not even Master Rain interrupted him again.
Honestly speaking, the Heavenly Academy's teachers, or at least this one, I grew fond off. No wonder this establishnt is considered the best environnt to learn and grow stronger throughout the vast expanse. The teachers in it are incredibly good.
I didn't feel the passage of ti before the sun had risen to its zenith.
There was a protective barrier around the room so we didn't feel the heat nor were we bothered by the reflective sun rays.
"This concludes our session, next ti we'll be talking about the applications of Qi Converting Formations, I hope you can practice so forms of formation making within the week. The reason is, I'll be teaching you how to make Killer Formations," Elder Gu Lei said.
This made everyone a bit too happy, they all began mumbling among each other on how to make use of these so called Killer Formations...
"You there, cold girl, what's your na?" asked Master Rain.
Yu Yu gave a slight bow to master Rain, "This Junior's na is Leng Yu-Yu," she said.
"Right then, where is that old hag?" Master Rain asked, "She isn't still loitering around?"
"If you're talking about her highness, she had left yesterday for the Wind Realm," Yu-Yu said.
"Good good, I can finally relax now, damn she was such a pain to deal with. Anyway, lad what do you think of this session?" asked Master Rain.
"Exhaustive is all I can say,"
Good, Exhaustive is good. Keep learning, and I'll keep a watch on you," Master Rain said, he stood up and then left the area.
