Wang Tong woke up as the sun rose. He looked at the Space Crystal and was surprised that Einherjar Wannabe didn't wake him up in the morning. Maybe he had a good time last night.
Wang Tong stretched his body and felt refreshed. It was extremely difficult to fall asleep while practicing, but Einherjar Wannabe forced Wang Tong to do it after he found out that Wang Tong's Tactics of the Blade was able to circulate on its own even when he was unconscious. Wang Tong had no choice but to give it a try since his fake teacher was so insistent, and he had no choice but to give it a try.
Humans were creatures that were good at getting used to things, and once a habit was formed, nothing would be difficult anymore.
Wang Tong was about to leave when he saw a pair of blood-red eyes staring at him, "You scared the hell out of me, don't you know you can scare me to death?"
"Hey kid, let's talk about something!" Einherjar Wannabe said in a serious tone.
"Ahem, what do you want? I'm not used to you being so serious." Wang Tong sat on the sofa leisurely. Most of the time when Einherjar Wannabe was serious, it was always about something else.
"Wang Tong, do you know what you need the most right now?" Einherjar Wannabe asked.
"Money!" Wang Tong answered without hesitation. He had always known that money could make the world go round, but he had never been rich before Old Fart, who was a vampire.
"No, a promising young man like you shouldn't be blinded by money. What you need right now is actual combat. Let me tell you, it's great to have a PA in there. I don't know why I can only watch it, but I don't have any Strength Points. It was so uncomfortable last night, why don't you join me and let me have some fun!"
Apparently, Einherjar Wannabe wasn't one to beat around the bush, and he had already told Wang Tong his idea before he was even convinced. Einherjar Wannabe had finally found a way to vent his emotions, but he realized that he couldn't do anything to Wang Tong. However, Wang Tong was able to feel Einherjar Wannabe's movements through their Soul Connection, and that was how he came up with this idea.
"I'm sorry, but as an ambitious young man from Ayrlarng's A-ranked academy, I don't have time to waste on such boring things. I'd rather find a job, or I'll be starving soon."
Wang Tong turned off Einherjar Wannabe and said to himself, "It's time for a new day!"
"Is there no room for negotiation?" Einherjar Wannabe glared at Wang Tong angrily.
"How could I? We're so close. As long as you can afford it, I'll play with you for as long as you want. Otherwise … forget it."
Wang Tong turned off the Space Crystal. He didn't want to waste time with Einherjar Wannabe, or else he would have to pay for his tuition and fees. Every day he missed would be a waste.
The children of the poor matured at an early age.
Wang Tong was already squatting at the entrance of the logistics department early in the morning, waiting for his teacher to arrive.
As he chewed on his sandwich, he pondered over how he could move his teacher. Although he couldn't say that he was proficient in swindling, kidnapping, and stealing from the old man, he knew when to take the initiative. Otherwise, he would starve to death.
Today was Monday, and there were already some students passing by in the morning. They all looked at Wang Tong strangely, wondering why he looked like a beggar.
"Dear Teacher Simmons, you're finally here." Apparently, the teacher wasn't punctual, he was an hour late, and Wang Tong had to wait for an hour.
"You're … Oh, Wang Tong, what are you doing here?" Simmons asked as he looked at the strange student.
"Teacher, I haven't found a place to stay in my dorm yet, actually … Sigh, I'm not going to pretend anymore. I've been an orphan since I was young, and my grandfather who took me in has passed away. I don't even have a place to stay, and the hotels near my school are too expensive. I … I …" Wang Tong's eyes dimmed as he murmured to himself.
Actually, Simmons had already guessed it, and he felt sorry for Wang Tong. However, he didn't mean to make things difficult for Wang Tong. Ayrlarng's budget had been dwindling in recent years, and they weren't producing any results. On one hand, Ayrlarng had to maintain its reputation as a prestigious school, and on the other hand, they were struggling to make ends meet. If it wasn't for the new principal, Ayrlarng might not even be able to start school this year.
He looked at Wang Tong and sighed, "Sigh, this kid hasn't had it easy since he was sent to Norton at such a young age. Only those who had nowhere else to go were willing to risk their lives, and now that he's back alive, I can't let him suffer. As a teacher, I should have been more mindful of my dignity as a man, and he wouldn't have done this if he wasn't desperate."
"Don't worry, Wang Tong, I'll take care of this for you. If I can't even solve a small problem like this, then I'll be a useless teacher. Follow me!"
Somehow, Simmons felt a surge of enthusiasm in his chest.
Wang Tong wasn't faking it, he was telling the truth. However, if he didn't put on a show, he might not be able to get a dorm room next week.
Simmons started to search for Wang Tong's files, but he couldn't find anything. What a coincidence! Who would have thought that there would be such a special student this year? Suddenly, Simmons had an idea.
"Wang Tong, I'll be honest with you. The new dorm building hasn't been completed yet, and one of the buildings is still under repair. It's not convenient for you to move in now. There's a caretaker's room next to Dorm Number Five. You can stay there for a few days, and you can move in when the dorm is ready. What do you think?"
"Thank you so much, Sir. I don't know what to say, but I'll study hard and improve every day!"
Simmons couldn't help but laugh at Wang Tong's amusing behavior. "But there's something special about you."
"Don't worry, Sir, as long as it's livable."
"Don't worry, it's a standard staff room. But Dorm Number Five is a female dorm, so it might be a little troublesome. Don't cause me any trouble, okay?" Simmons laughed.
Wang Tong saluted and said, "Don't worry, Sir, I'll never look around."
"Haha, I'm just kidding. You won't be able to see anything even if you want to. Take your luggage, let's go."
"Sir, I don't have any luggage."
"Good boy, you're very optimistic. Not bad, I'm starting to think highly of you." Simmons patted Wang Tong's shoulder. He was pleased that Wang Tong was able to maintain such an optimistic attitude under such circumstances. "Just come to me if you need anything in the future. I can't help you with anything big, but as the head of the logistics department, I can still help you out a little."
Wang Tong was well-versed in coaxing people, and he knew that neither Old Fart nor Einherjar Wannabe were easy to deal with. Nevertheless, Wang Tong was touched by Simmons' kindness.
