Sun Mo sat at the back and surveyed the 200 over competitors. Other than a few who didn't fit in, they were generally divided into three groups.
The first group was led by Gu Xiuxun. As a top graduate of the Myriad Daos Academy and a school beauty, most of the people around her were male intern teachers.
If it were other school belles, the majority of them would maintain a cold and aloof attitude, letting the men know that it wasn't an easy thing to get close to them.
However, Gu Xiuxun didn't do so. When she smiled, it would make people feel as if they were bathing in the spring breeze. Even if the uglier intern teachers asked her occasionally, she would still reply.
Gu Xiuxun's goal wasn't just to become a great teacher. She also wanted to revitalize the Central Province Academy, allowing it to return to the ranks of the Nine Greats.
For this, Gu Xiuxun displayed her shocking affinity. Only such a person would be able to obtain the favorable impression of the majority of teachers and then become a leader.
The second group occupied the right side of the lecture theater with Gao Ben at the core. The ratio of males and females was about the same, but the number of people was the highest.
Gao Ben graduated from Liang Province's Westshore Military School. His Mystic Ice Spear Art, which was passed down in his family, had reached the acme of perfection and had outstanding combat strength. This was also the reason why the vice-headmaster, Zhang Hanfu, had spent a lot of money to headhunt him.
The Westshore Military School was one of the Nine Greats and was most proficient in combat. Moreover, because the school was governed by the military, the students of this school were all very strict and serious.
Of course, there were also times when they didn't smile. Therefore, there was a saying circulating in the great teacher world. As long as one saw a teacher or student with a poker face, there was no need to guess to know that they were definitely from the Westshore Military School.
Gao Ben didn't like to talk, but this didn't hinder him from becoming the center of the circle. Since ancient times, people had always worshipped the strong.
Many intern teachers tried to ask for guidance in a roundabout way, but they didn't receive any reply.
The third group had the smallest number of people. They occupied the right side of the lecture theater and were led by Zhang Lan. Most of the people here were female intern teachers.
Zhang Lan was a graduate from Yue Province's Myriad Spirits Academy and was proficient in spiritual beast control. This academy was also a supreme school.
As a female, Zhang Lan's looks were ordinary. But if she were to dress up and have her status as a graduate from a famous school, she would be able to attract a few men. However, there was a strange spirit rune tattoo on the left side of her face, causing her to exude a terrifying aura.
If her male partner woke up in the middle of the night and saw this, he would definitely be scared to death.
The female intern teachers didn't despise them. Or rather, when women with ordinary looks gathered together, they would always feel a sense of warmth. In their hearts, they would even feel a hint of superiority, thinking that although they weren't as strong as them, they were more beautiful than them.
When he was together with Gu Xiuxun, his sense of superiority completely vanished.
Sun Mo furrowed his brows. It wasn't easy to survive in the workplace.
"I heard that Qin Fen resigned. Is that true?"
Gao Ben touched his newly shaved stubble and looked around for Qin Fen's figure.
"Heh, he can't even win against Sun Mo who sponges off a woman. What else can he do if he doesn't resign? Stay and be laughed at? " Zeng Jun mocked, "If I were the principal of Jixia Academy, I would definitely beat him to death. What an embarrassment to the school."
"Did any of you see the match that day? What was going on? How did Sun Mo win? "
Gao Ben was curious and asked a few more questions.
"It was supposed to be a competition of guidance, but in the end, Sun Mo played a trick and directly used his massage technique to raise his student's cultivation level. How can they still compete? He would win for sure! "
On the first day of the student recruitment meet, the uglier male student who had seen Sun Mo recruiting Xuanyuan Po spoke. He didn't witness the situation back then, but the rumors were very ferocious. Moreover, because Sun Mo was An Xinhui's fiance, many intern teachers were unhappy with him. Hence, the more the rumors spread, the more negative they became.
"Massage technique?"
Gao Ben frowned.
"How can there be such an amazing massage technique? He must have eaten some kind of alchemy pill, or the student he guided was already about to level up."
Zeng Jun doubted.
Everyone discussed. When Zeng Jun heard that almost everyone was doubting Sun Mo, his mood instantly became much better.
The school Zeng Jun graduated from was at the bottom of the'D 'grade schools. Hence, he treasured the opportunity to come to the Central Province Academy for an internship.
Now that Zeng Jun saw how famous Sun Mo was, in addition to the fact that he was An Xinhui's fiance, he would be able to secure a place to stay in school just by relying on this bowl of soft rice. Hence, Zeng Jun was very unhappy. Naturally, the discussions about him behind his back weren't very pleasant to hear.
In truth, there were many intern teachers who were unhappy with Sun Mo. It was because he had no capabilities, yet he could stay in the school. This made everyone feel that he was stealing their rice.
If the qualifications to stay in the school were determined based on capabilities, they felt that they would definitely crush Sun Mo.
Dang! Dang! Dang!
The melodious sound of the bell suddenly rang out. It was 8 am.
The intern teachers were stunned for a moment. After that, they hurriedly returned to their seats. Some of them even tidied up their clothes and revealed a smile that they felt was very charming.
If they left a good impression on the school's leaders, they might be able to increase their chances of staying in the school.
Very soon, the door opened and a middle-aged man with a height of less than 1.6 meters walked in. He was short but stocky. The black long robes he wore were stretched taut by his muscles, and one could clearly see the outline of his body.
This short appearance was a little comical for a teacher. When he stood on the rostrum, he was only a head taller than the table. However, no one dared to laugh.
This middle-aged man was called Zhang Hanfu. He was one of the three vice-headmasters of the Central Province Academy. He was a 2-star great teacher and was also an expert at the divine force realm.
Putting aside all these, just the might emitted from Zhang Hanfu's body was enough to intimidate people. Maybe it was because his height was too similar to Wu Dalang's, hence, he placed more importance on his spirit and aura. His face was tense, and as he glanced around, his pair of long and narrow eagle-like eyes gleamed with a sharp light.
Zhang Hanfu's gaze was like a sharp blade, sweeping across the entire place.
All the intern teachers averted their gazes, not daring to meet his gaze.
"What a tyrannical aura!"
Gu Xiuxun wasn't afraid, but she was intelligent and knew that she should follow the advice.
Zhang Hanfu was very satisfied. Because of the flaws in his figure, he placed more importance on high positions and enjoyed the mental joy brought by conquering others. However, when his gaze landed on the back row, he frowned.
Sun Mo sat there and surveyed him. He had no intention of avoiding his gaze at all. As for reverence or fear, it didn't exist at all.
"How rude!"
The corners of Zhang Hanfu's lips twitched. Just when he wanted to find a reason to scold Sun Mo, the classroom's back door was pushed open with a bang.
Ludi ran in while panting. He was carrying a bag in his hand, and half a pig trotter that was covered in coarse hair was revealed.
Swoosh!
Half of the intern teachers turned their gazes over. However, they turned their gazes back at an even faster speed after that, putting on an expression that didn't look sideways.
Hua!
Cold sweat broke out on Ludi's body, instantly drenching his clothes. However, he didn't dare to wipe it off. It was as if he had been petrified and was frozen on the spot, not daring to move.
He looked toward Zhang Hanfu with a pleading gaze.
"As a teacher, the first requirement is to be punctual. If you can't even do this, how can you be a teacher? Scram! "
Zhang Hanfu didn't bellow, but his words seemed to be even louder than a roar. His words seemed to come out from his throat, containing a strong sense of prestige.
"I... I..."
Ludi wanted to explain that he had woken up very early and had only stewed the pig trotter and sent it to Teacher Zhou Shanyi. It was a pity that when he met Zhang Hanfu's stern gaze, it was as if he had been smashed in the mouth by a stick. He couldn't say anything.
Another six school leaders walked in. The last one was An Xinhui. She wore a moon-white long robe, appearing elegant and refined.
The male intern teachers sneaked a glance at her. After that, they felt even more jealous of Sun Mo.
"Sit down. There won't be a next time!"
An Xinhui looked at Ludi who was about to cry and instructed.
"Oh! Oh! "
Ludi felt as if he had been pardoned. He hurriedly found an empty seat nearby and sat down.
After Ludi's incident, when Zhang Hanfu looked at Sun Mo again, there was no longer a chance to reprimand him. He wasn't in a hurry either. In any case, there would always be a chance.
The other school leaders sat on the chairs that had been prepared beforehand. Only Zhang Hanfu stood on the rostrum. He cleared his throat and started to speak.
Upon seeing this scene, Gu Xiuxun was a little surprised. It seemed that the fight for authority in the Central Province Academy was even more intense than she had expected. Moreover, An Xinhui seemed to be in an absolutely disadvantageous situation.
Usually, when the school leaders attended a meeting or gave a speech, the headmaster would be the first to speak. But now, Zhang Hanfu had overstepped his authority.
Looking at the other leaders, they were already used to such things. This meant that this wasn't a coincidence.
"Our Central Province Academy doesn't care about one's background or qualifications. We only care about talent. As long as you have talent, you'll be able to be promoted and have a chance to display your capabilities."
Zhang Hanfu spoke fervently.
One couldn't help but say that although this vice-headmaster was short and looked like a potato, his voice was filled with vigor when he spoke. Coupled with his powerful body language of waving his arms, it was very infectious.
"According to the usual practice in the past, an intern teacher must first be a teaching assistant for a year and pass the examination before they can officially join the school. But this year, after the school leaders' discussion, we've decided that no matter which intern teacher it is, as long as they can recruit five personal disciples in the student recruitment meet, they'll be able to get a letter of invitation from the Central Province Academy and become a substitute teacher."
A slight commotion broke out in the lecture theater. Everyone's gazes swept past Gu Xiuxun, Gao Ben, and Zhang Lan.
Gao Ben's legs were spread apart and his hands were placed on his knees. His back was ramrod straight, and he looked straight ahead. Zhang Lan didn't have any expression, while Gu Xiuxun was smiling lightly, exuding a strong sense of confidence.
"Now, intern teachers who have recruited five personal disciples, please raise your hands!"
Zhang Hanfu instructed.
Gu Xiuxun was confident and proud. She didn't hesitate and raised her hand. Gao Ben then also raised his right hand. Their gazes collided in the air, and sparks flew in all directions.
Swoosh!
Everyone's eyes turned to Zhang Lan.
Zhang Lan was expressionless. She paused for about ten seconds and just when everyone thought that she hadn't recruited enough students, she actually raised her hand.
"Ha, you've been tricked, right?"
