In Class 2's classroom, a bunch of students looked at Lin Huang with a confused look on their faces.
The reason was that Lin Huang looked too young. He looked like he was at most 16 or 17 years old. He was definitely not older than 18 years old.
Some of the students had noticed Lin Huang on the first day of school. They thought that Lin Huang was a relative of one of the teachers.
After Lin Huang introduced himself, a muscular guy who was sitting at the back raised his hand all of a sudden.
Lin Huang nodded at him and asked, "Do you have any questions?"
"Sir, if you don't mind, can we know your age?" The boy's question was what all the students were concerned about.
"I'm 16 years old this year." Lin Huang did not choose to lie.
As soon as he said that, there was an uproar in the classroom.
Most of the students in the classroom were 15 years old. A few of them were 14 years old and two of them were the same age as Lin Huang, they were also 16 years old.
16 years old should be the age to study in a higher school, not the age to be a teacher.
The students in the classroom were smart. They could tell from Lin Huang's age that Lin Huang had never attended a higher school.
"Sir, may I know which higher school did you graduate from?" A handsome boy sitting at the front suddenly raised his hand and asked.
"I've never attended a higher school." Lin Huang chose to tell the truth.
However, his words caused an uproar among the students in the classroom. All 50 of them did not look happy.
The boy who asked the question about Lin Huang's school stood up and looked at Lin Huang in disdain. "Then why are you teaching us?!"
"There are 50 students in this classroom and more than half of them are top students in a B-grade foothold. There are hundreds of millions of graduating students in Division7. Our graduation results are enough for us to be in the top 3,000! You've never attended a higher school. Why are you teaching us?! "
Lin Huang felt helpless. He knew that some of the freshmen would have such a reaction if he told the truth. These freshmen were the cream of the crop in Division7, so they had their own pride.
Just when he was going to explain himself, Qin Tianxing who was sitting at the back suddenly stood up.
"All of you, be quiet!"
His roar silenced the entire classroom.
Many people in the classroom turned their heads to look at him, but they were all intimidated by his aura and immediately looked away.
Qin Tianxing walked to the podium and stood next to Lin Huang.
He glared at the boy who had stood up to ask the question. "Sit down!"
The boy wanted to retort, but when he saw the look in his eyes, he obediently chose to sit down.
After the boy sat down, Qin Tianxing glanced through the crowd and said slowly, "My name is Qin Tianxing. I'm sure some of you who have read up on Martial Arts Academy's information should've heard of me. It's alright if you haven't. I'm the Sword Dao teacher of Year 1 Class 1 of Martial Arts Academy's Sword Dao faculty. I'm also the dean of Year 1's Sword Dao faculty. I've been teaching in Martial Arts Academy for five years. I suppose you're qualified to speak, right? "
Knowing Qin Tianxing's identity, none of the students dared to retort.
"You're asking why Mr. Lin is qualified to teach you. I'll answer your question.
"Firstly, I'd like to say that all the higher schools in Division7 have no restrictions on the qualifications of the teachers. In fact, more than 30% of the teachers in Division7's higher schools aren't from academies. Many of the teachers who teach are from the Hunters' Association, Adventurer's Paradise, and even the Coalition government's military department. Many of them had completed the assessment of various organizations without going through the education of a higher education institution, and then grew up all the way. Compared to academies, they're actually more experienced in combat. "
"Indeed, all of you here are the most outstanding students in the country. However, I dare say that if you were to join the Reserve Hunter assessment right now, none of you would pass the assessment. It'd be great if one out of 50 of you could pass the assessment. Let's not talk about you guys. Among the 100 people in Class 1, less than five of you could pass the assessment. "
"If I'm not mistaken, Mr. Lin should have passed the assessment when he was your age." Qin Tianxing looked at Lin Huang.
"I passed the assessment in June last year and got my official hunter license in December." Lin Huang nodded and told the truth calmly.
"Did you hear that? Mr. Lin got his official hunter license when he was 15. May I ask, which of you will get your official hunter license in December this year? "Qin Tianxing's question silenced everyone.
Although they had three months to study and prepare, most of the students did not even have the confidence to pass the assessment, let alone get their official hunter license.
"Whether Mr. Lin graduated from an academy or not, at least his ability has surpassed all of you when he was your age. Isn't that worth learning from? "
Qin Tianxing's words made many of the students fall into deep thought.
"Although there are fewer non-academics teachers in the Martial Arts Academy, there's still 17% of them this year. The 17% of non-academics teachers have gone through the strict assessment by the dean, the deputy dean, and the academic affairs office before they started teaching. The fact that they've gone through the assessment proves that they're qualified. They're not any worse than the teachers in our academy. Therefore, I don't think it's right for you guys to judge others based on their judgment.
"Moreover, as everyone knows, the strongest faculty in the Martial Arts Academy is the Saber Dao faculty. Ye Tiankong, the Saber Dao teacher of Year 3 Class 1 of the Saber Dao faculty, is also a non-academic. The students of Year 3 Class 1 have never objected to that. If the students of the Saber Dao faculty don't discriminate against non-academics, why can't the students of the Saber Dao faculty do the same? "
Qin Tianxing glanced at the students again after he was done speaking. Many of them lowered their heads.
"No matter what, you'll only know if Mr. Lin is qualified to teach you after he's done with his class. You guys haven't even listened to the content of the class and yet you're making a ruckus after listening to the teacher's self-introduction. It's disrespectful to Mr. Lin and the Martial Arts Academy. "
"Especially the one who started the ruckus." Qin Tianxing looked at the boy who said that Lin Huang was not qualified. "Please apologize to Mr. Lin."
Although the boy was reluctant, he could not refute what Qin Tianxing said. As a student of the Saber Dao faculty, he was unwilling to admit that he was not as good as the students of the Saber Dao faculty.
After struggling in his mind for a while, he stood up and bowed to Lin Huang. "Sir Lin, I apologize for what I said earlier. I shouldn't have said something that discriminates against teachers who aren't from the academy. However, if your teaching standard isn't up to my expectations, I'll apply for a change of class. "
The student remained stubborn. Although he apologized, it was obvious that he had doubts about Lin Huang's teaching standard.
"I accept your apology, and I understand where you're coming from. If you really think that it's inappropriate after this class, you can apply for a change of class. I won't stop you. "Lin Huang nodded.
