Chapter 854: Chapter 856: Hua Yuan Knows
The teacher on the stage had a laser pointer in hand, directing its green beam precisely onto Nian Shutong, who was tinkering with her Light Computer with her head down.
Nian Shutong wasn’t nervous, but her classmate beside her was anxious enough to want to stand up.
A hand gestured sothing, while lips moved nervously, yet no sound ca out.
“Classmate, don’t be nervous.”
Nian Shutong had ti to comfort her classmate, and by now, she had raised her head. Many students and the teacher on the podium had recognized her.
“Professor Nian?”
The teacher on the podium quickly turned off the laser pointer and took two hurried steps forward, asking Nian Shutong, “What are you doing here?”
“I’m curious about the cha courses, so I ca to listen. I won’t disturb you.”
Nian Shutong’s words were quite fair; the teacher on the podium couldn’t say much more and rely nodded, continuing with the lesson.
When the teacher on the podium brought out a cha and began explaining its parts, today’s students seed sowhat inattentive, with many sneaking glances at Nian Shutong.
Nian Shutong noticed this issue as well, realizing she might need to be more discreet in the future during lessons.
Just as she was about to leave, the teacher on the stage spoke up.
“Professor Nian, why don’t you co up and share your experiences with everyone? I’m sure they’re very curious.”
Nian Shutong had already stood, intending to leave the classroom, but since the teacher invited her, she went forward instead.
When Nian Shutong stood on the podium, she took the tool from the teacher’s hand and asked the students below, “Do you think I’m impressive? Does my presence make you uncomfortable in class?”
The straightforward questions slightly eased the students’ initial nervousness, leading to scattered replies: Yes.
The teacher nearby didn’t intend to make things difficult for Nian Shutong, but the students in this class were already finding it hard to concentrate, so a change in teaching style was necessary.
“Professor Nian, since you’re already in our class, why not share a bit about your experiences? I’m actually quite curious too.”
The teacher’s words encouraged the students below to chi in.
Nian Shutong didn’t mind, still holding onto the tool, she asked the teacher, “What is this called?”
“Spiral Riser.”
“And this?”
Nian Shutong pointed to another part. The teacher didn’t understand her intent but still answered, “Qi Stagnation Valve.”
Nian Shutong nodded continuously, asking a total of five basic questions.
After she finished asking, she looked at all the students and asked, “Do you all know the answers?”
“Yes!”
The unanimous response made Nian Shutong smile and nod, “Very well, but the questions I just asked, I didn’t know the answers to myself.”
“You see, in the field of cha, you could all be my teachers because I know nothing about it.”
“I am simply myself, not the version of you’ve imagined in your minds after enhancent. I still have a lot to learn, so please don’t compare your weaknesses to my strengths. My experiences are not suitable for you all.”
“Everyone has their own talents, whether it’s cha, physical ability, spiritual power, or culinary skills. Not everyone needs to be the sa.”
“The only person you need to compare yourself with is your past self, not anyone else.”
“Even if that person is .”
After Nian Shutong finished speaking, she handed the tool back to the teacher and said to the students, “Goodbye, my little cha teachers.”
As Nian Shutong walked out of the door, she quickly disappeared.
However, the thoughts she left behind continued, affecting even the teacher.
Nian Shutong’s words contradicted much of the education they received.
They were all educated to train their physical abilities and cultivate spiritual power—that was deed the correct path.
Everyone grew up in a comparative environnt; no one told them they could do what they liked, and no one told them they didn’t have to compare themselves to others.
The cha teacher on the podium looked at the tool in their hand and at the carefree Nian Shutong, realizing this was why they were different.
No matter what, the news of Nian Shutong attending the lecture spread, but strangely, it seed she didn’t attend other teachers’ classes. Was she really just curious about cha?
Of course not. Unbeknownst to others, Nian Shutong attended all the courses at the military school, each ti in a different guise.
She privately ranked all the teachers and even secretly talked to several.
So negotiations succeeded, so did not.
Just after Nian Shutong successfully recruited three teachers, she received a communication from Principal Hua Yuan.
“Professor Nian, I think it’s necessary for us to talk.”
“Alright.”
Nian Shutong knew what it was about, so she began pondering what terms to negotiate.
If push ca to shove, should she have Rubble and Ji Sisi co over for a lecture?
She was entirely confident that if those two stepped in, Hua Yuan would definitely be tempted.
With this plan in mind, Nian Shutong went to the principal’s office.
After knocking and entering, Hua Yuan, sitting behind the desk, glanced at Nian Shutong and asked.
“When are you returning to Blue Star?”
“Hmm? Principal, are you shooing away?”
Nian Shutong sat comfortably on the couch, completely at ease.
“No, it’s just that I’m worried you’ll take all my school’s teachers away.”
Hua Yuan said this in frustration, getting so angry he stood up.
“Nian Shutong, do you know the impact a good teacher has? You’re taking away three, where can I find three to replace them?”
“This is a military school, every teacher’s role is crucial and irreplaceable.”
Nian Shutong remained calm, sitting on the sofa, and replied to Hua Yuan, “I only took away one cha dismantling, one cha combat, and one spiritual power cultivation instructor.”
“Principal, shouldn’t a spiritual cultivation teacher be the easiest to replace, right?”
Hua Yuan, despite himself, begrudgingly conceded, “Yes, but there are still two, and they’re the best ones.”
This was Hua Yuan’s main concern today because Nian Shutong had taken away the best two cha instructors, ones he never imagined would leave the school.
This was a trendous loss for so many students.
“I know they are the best two, but have you considered why they would be willing to leave with ?”
“Do you think they’re people who lack money?”
Hua Yuan was stumped by the question. Those two teachers certainly didn’t lack money; their cha-related earnings each year were multiples of the school’s salary.
“Just get to the point.”
Nian Shutong stood up and spoke to Hua Yuan, “They’re leaving because there’s better cha technology to learn.”
“And the reason I chose these two specialties of teachers is because I have replacent thods.”
