After the intern teachers left, the lecture theater immediately became empty.
Lian Zheng originally planned to let Gu Xiuxun and the other three sit in the first row so that it would be more convenient for them to talk. But when he saw that the four of them had an unapproachable look on their faces, he decided to give up.
The arrogant geniuses were like two ferocious beasts that couldn't coexist in the same hunting ground. They were always hostile to each other.
'That's good too. If there's hostility, they'll be unwilling to admit defeat. They'll want to suppress the other party in all aspects. This is also a kind of motivation and spur.'
Lian Zheng was very satisfied with the performance of these four people. He felt that only competition could make people improve.
The school leaders were also surveying the four of them. There was no need to say much about Gao Ben, Zhang Lan, and Gu Xiuxun. They were definitely people who had seen their fair share of the world. It was understandable that their expressions were calm, but what the hell was with this venomous tongue? Why can you just sit there calmly like a god?
The key was that Zhang Hanfu hadn't left, and his anger hadn't subsided yet.
Ever since the old headmaster failed to become a saint, there was no one to suppress Zhang Hanfu. His authority grew increasingly heavy, and it was unknown how many teachers and students in the Central Province Academy had been scolded by him. However, Sun Mo was definitely the first person to make him suffer in the past three years.
"Either he has a big heart and an extremely high tolerance, or he's a fool!"
Feng Zewen muttered.
"Headmaster An, do you want a lecture?"
Lian Zheng asked.
"Let Vice Principal Zhang do it!"
An Xinhui declined humbly.
"Hmph!"
Zhang Hanfu didn't wish to speak because he was afraid that the moment he opened his mouth, he wouldn't be able to control himself from scolding Sun Mo. However, he also wouldn't give An Xinhui a chance to perform. "Zewen, you do it!"
"Ahem, then I'll do it for you."
Feng Zewen didn't back down either. He cleared his throat. "Firstly, congratulations to the four of you for joining the Central Province Academy and becoming one of us!"
As Feng Zewen applauded, the school leaders also clapped politely. However, Zhang Hanfu was an exception.
"Good character!"
Lian Zheng praised in his heart.
In the past, when intern teachers heard the congratulations, even if they weren't agitated, they would still reveal joy. However, the four of them were still very calm. It was as if to them, this was something to be expected.
Indeed, other than Sun Mo, it was only natural for Gu Xiuxun and the other two to be employed.
"After you become official teachers, you can teach on behalf of others. Because this is your first year, in order to let you gradually adapt, your teaching tasks are relatively simple."
"Other than teaching and guiding your personal disciples, each of you will have to attend two public lectures every day for a total of four hours. As for the content of the lectures, you guys can decide it yourselves. The study of spirit runes, herbology, alchemy, etc. Any two will do. A week later, report to me and I will arrange a time schedule and classroom for you guys."
Feng Zewen paused for a moment, waiting for the four new teachers to digest the information, and then he continued, "Although you are free to choose, for these two courses, I suggest that you choose the one you are best at."
"When you start your classes, there will definitely be very few students attending, so we won't force you. But after half a year, the number of students attending will be used as a reference. If you can't meet the standard after a year, your public classes will be cut."
At this point, Feng Zewen's tone became serious.
A huge pressure immediately attacked the four of them.
In the various countries of Middle-Earth Nine Provinces, public classes were the mainstream.
Not only did teachers have the right to choose their specialization and conduct their lessons, but students also had the freedom to choose which teacher they wanted to listen to.
If the teacher's lecture was good, there would naturally be more students attending. If the teacher's lecture wasn't good, the place would be deserted. If the number of students attending the lecture fell to the bottom line set by the school, the public class would be cut.
If teachers wanted to become great teachers, they had to kill their way out through such cruel competition. It was absolutely impossible for them to receive a salary and live a comfortable life just by attending classes every day.
It was precisely because of such a system that teachers would do everything they could to raise the quality of their lessons and attract students. This would also allow the students to improve tremendously.
As long as the students paid attention to the lesson, they definitely wouldn't have to worry about the teachers slacking off or that their teaching abilities were too trashy. It was because such teachers would all be eliminated.
"Amazing, my great Central Continent!"
Although he was a teacher from No.2 High School and was teaching modern education, he admired such a teaching method a little.
Whether a teacher was capable or not, whether they could get a title or not, it wasn't up to the school, the education bureau, or if one's family had any connections. It was up to the students. Only then would it be fair!
"Speaking of which, aren't An Xinhui and I childhood sweethearts? Why does the favorable impression level start from neutral? "
Sun Mo had a small doubt.
"Because that original self is An Xinhui's childhood sweetheart, but you aren't."
The system explained.
That original self had already died, and the one standing here was Sun Mo who came from another world. Hence, the system had to recalculate the favorable impression level.
When the host's actions toward the target caused the target to develop feelings of favorable impression, closeness, admiration, worship, etc., the host would gain favorable impression points.
Other than representing the change in the relationship between two people, the more important function of the favorable impression level was to act as a type of currency that could be used to purchase items from the merchant store.
Hence, the favorable impression level between Sun Mo and An Xinhui would definitely start from neutral to 0.
Gu Xiuxun raised her hand.
"Teacher Gu, please speak!"
Feng Zewen was always very tolerant toward beauties.
"Teacher Feng, can we change a specialization if we feel it isn't suitable?"
Gu Xiuxun asked.
"Sure!"
Feng Zewen looked at this beautiful school belle and secretly compared her to An Xinhui. "But I have to remind you that a teacher's reputation and students are slowly accumulated. If you change your specialization so easily, you'll lose the popularity that you've worked so hard to accumulate."
"Thank you, Teacher Feng!"
Given Gu Xiuxun's intellect, she had long since thought of this point. The reason why she asked this question was because she wanted to address him as' Teacher Feng 'in a formal setting and be addressed as' Teacher Gu 'by other teachers.
(Such a relationship of equals, such a cool form of address. How awesome! From today onward, I'm also a teacher!)
Gu Xiuxun's right hand clenched into a fist under the table in excitement. The first step had been completed. Next, she had to become a leading figure among the teachers who hadn't obtained a title yet.
The so-called 'teachers who hadn't obtained a title' referred to those teachers who hadn't obtained the title of a 1-star great teacher no matter what.
"Also, our Central Province Academy has a custom that has been passed down for 1,000 years." Feng Zewen smiled. "For every newly employed teacher, the first public lesson is for you to showcase yourself. You can talk about your teaching philosophy, your life goals, what you're good at, etc. You can talk about anything."
Gu Xiuxun and the other three were initially indifferent, but as Feng Zewen continued to introduce, their countenances were no longer as calm.
"This public lesson will be conducted in a lecture theater. We'll inform all the teachers and students in the school, and it's almost certain that a lecture theater with a capacity of 300 people like this would be packed to the brim. However, the greatest test is still the question-and-answer segment. Yes, any student or teacher has the right to ask you questions. If you can't answer them, or if your adaptability is too bad and you make a fool of yourself, it'll be very embarrassing."
The school leaders subconsciously glanced at Sun Mo. Other than Gao Ben who was still sitting upright, Gu Xiuxun and Zhang Lan also involuntarily assessed Sun Mo.
From their point of view, no matter what method Sun Mo used to recruit five students, it didn't matter. Only when they were on the rostrum would it be the true battlefield.
Whether or not he had real capabilities, they'd know after a test.
"Teacher Sun, I think very highly of you!"
Feng Zewen seemed to be praising Sun Mo, but seeing that he was a teacher in Zhang Hanfu's faction, Feng Zewen knew that his words were filled with sarcasm.
Zhang Hanfu coldly laughed. Sun Mo was An Xinhui's fiance. Just based on this identity, there'd surely be many teachers spectating.
It'd be strange if those teachers who hated you because of An Xinhui didn't nitpick and find trouble with you.
"Teacher Feng, since this is the case, you must prepare a few questions. If you don't knock me out, you'll treat me to meals for three months. How about it?"
Sun Mo spoke.
"Eh?"
Sun Mo's sudden reply shocked everyone. No one had expected him to answer, let alone in such an unyielding manner.
(Didn't you want to watch a good show?
Come on then, I'll accept it!)
An Xinhui's beautiful eyes brightened. It was like she didn't recognize this childhood sweetheart anymore. Regardless of how strong he was, his aura was truly praiseworthy.
Ding!
Favorable impression points from An Xinhui + 1.
Due to his prestige connection with An Xinhui, the neutral Feng Zewen started. His smile stiffened and he felt a little unhappy. (Who do you think you are to be qualified to provoke me?) However, it wasn't good for him to flare up in such a situation. After all, he was the one who said it first. Hence, he put on a fake smile.
"Alright, I'll definitely prepare a few sumptuous dishes for you at that time. If you can't answer, there's no need for you to treat me to a meal. Just buy me three jars of grape wine from the Ruyi Place."
"Teacher Feng, one jar of grape wine from the Ruyi Place costs a few thousand taels of silver. Sun Mo has just been employed, how would he have the money to buy it for you?"
An Xinhui interjected.
"Wouldn't it be fine as long as you win?"
Zhang Hanfu interrupted Feng Zewen's words.
Feng Zewen felt depressed. Even if Sun Mo didn't go against Zhang Hanfu, the vice-headmaster would still get someone to find trouble for him. In the end, it was his turn to take on this troublesome task.
(No matter what, I'm a 1-star great teacher. Zhang Hanfu, don't you feel embarrassed asking me to roll up my sleeves and go up personally?)
It wasn't that Feng Zewen didn't dare to offend An Xinhui, but rather, he felt that he was being belittled. A 1-star great teacher against the newly employed Sun Mo?
It was like using a dragon slaughtering knife to kill a chicken!
"Since this is the case, the bet is established. However, if Teacher Feng loses, you have to give Teacher Sun three jars of grape wine."
Gu Xiuxun interjected, not showing any signs of stage fright. She had decided that on the day of Sun Mo's public lecture, she would definitely be present.
At that time, when Sun Mo was stumbled by the questions, she would step out to save the situation. She would definitely be able to gain a huge wave of recognition and let all the teachers and students in the school know how outstanding she, Gu Xiuxun, was.
Before Feng Zewen could express his opinion, Sun Mo continued, "It's settled then. Teacher Feng wouldn't be afraid, right?"
Sun Mo had never been someone who would be at a disadvantage. Just when he was thinking about how to raise the stakes, Gu Xiuxun spoke up for him. However, this masochist with a pouch chest definitely had an impure motive.
Their gazes met in the air.
"I'm sorry, you can just become my stepping stone!"
Gu Xiuxun was thinking about the beautiful future. However, she also admitted that Sun Mo's courage was commendable for him to dare to challenge a 1-star great teacher.
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Gu Xiuxun + 1.
Due to the prestige connection between him and Gu Xiuxun, Sun Mo remained neutral. After hearing the notification, he glanced at Zhang Lan and Gao Ben. As expected, the two of them had no reaction, completely ignoring him.
Ding!
"New mission issued. During the first public lecture, please perfectly deal with the students and teachers who are deliberately making things difficult for you and obtain a beautiful debut. Rewards will be given based on the results."
"Note: If your performance is too bad, there will be a punishment!"
"There's a punishment?"
Sun Mo was speechless. He could imagine that at that time, those male teachers would definitely do their best to make things difficult for him, proving that he was trash and wasn't worthy of An Xinhui.
One could say that the test he had to face was several times greater compared to Gu Xiuxun and the other two.
