Laurist took out the Morrent Daily and Fariqiu Daily from the mailbox at the door, and found that there was also a letter inside. He opened it and saw that it was a notice from the academy. The main idea was that the new Qi Initiation Class of the new semester would begin tomorrow, and as the head instructor in charge of the Qi Initiation Class, Laurist, please arrive on time. Following that was the address and the time of the class.
Head instructor? What kind of damned position was this? They didn't even give me an extra salary. It should be about the same as last time. They just gave me a few instructors to be my assistants and let me be in charge. Loriste shook his head, not paying much attention to this notice. He decided to return to his room and look at the calendar. There were still a few days until the next month, and the Academy's duel was the most important thing right now. Although he was very confident, he could not be careless. He had to adjust and maintain his physical condition.
Tomorrow is the fifteenth of February. There are still twenty days until the next month. I should try my best to hand over the matters of the Combat Energy Initiation Class to my assistant within ten days. That way, I would still have ten days to rest … Looking at the exquisite copper calendar hanging on the wall, Loriste pondered.
When Lollister first transmigrated to Galinthea, he was most unaccustomed to calculating dates. Just like Earth, Galinthea had twelve months in a year and twenty-four hours in a day. The difference was that Galinthea had thirty-five days in a month, and a year was four hundred and twenty-three days. As a result, Laurist, who was still studying accounting at the time, often made mistakes when calculating dates. He would subconsciously use Earth time to calculate. There was even a time when the accounting tutor flew into a rage when he saw Laurist's calculations. He scolded Laurist in front of all the students in class, "There are still five days left! Where did those five days go? Was it eaten by a dog? "
What Loriste found the most ridiculous was that there were two kinds of calendars in Galinthea. The first was the Elven Calendar, which was said to have been created by the Elven race ten thousand years ago. The simple part of this calendar was that every month had thirty-five days, and the extra three days were all holidays. The second was the day between the end of December and the first of January. It was known as the day of rest, commonly known as the thirty-sixth of December. The second day was May 36th, also known as Bathing Day. On this day, everyone had to take a bath. The third day was the thirty-sixth day of the ninth month, the day of harvest. These three days were recognized as festivals in Galinthea.
The nature-loving elves did not use numbers to calculate the months. They called each month a certain flower month according to the type of flowers that bloomed in each month. For example, January was the Thorny Flower Month, February was the Camellia Flower Month, March was the Begonia Flower Month, April was the Jade Lotus Flower Month, May was the Peony Flower Month, June was the White Orchid Flower Month, July was the Jasmine Flower Month, August was the Osmanthus Flower Month, September was the Phoenix Tail Flower Month, October was the Hibiscus Flower Month, November was the Golden Chrysanthemum Flower Month, and December was the Red Plum Flower Month.
Back then, Lollister hated the elves' hobbies. He would always make mistakes in his calculations, and these flowers still came to cause trouble. It was ridiculous. Until one day, when he was sleeping, Laurist used the knowledge of astronomy from his previous life to suddenly realize that the Earth revolved around the sun in 365 days a year, so what was so strange about Galinthea's revolution around the sun in 423 days a year? It was just that the circle was slightly larger than the one on Earth. From that day onwards, Laurist would never get Galinthea's dates wrong again.
The second calendar was the Magic Calendar. This was the most accurate calendar created by the great Magicians of the Magic Age, and it was filled with cold numbers. The months from January to December were simple and easy to remember, but the dates were a little troublesome, because the days of each month were mostly different. For example, January had 34 days, February had the least, with 31 days, March had 36 days, and September had the most days, with 39 days.
The humans of Galinthea were not romantic elves, and there were no Magicians now. Such an accurate calendar was useless to ordinary people, so they combined the Elven Calendar with the Magic Calendar. Using the months of the Magic Calendar, the dates of the Elven Calendar, and the three festivals that didn't have dates in the Elven Calendar, they were used to having 36 days. This was the common Galinthea calendar that Lollister hung on the wall.
In his memory, the original owner of this body, Locke, had left the north on the 21st of June ten years ago. He arrived at Moronte City on the 8th of August and enrolled in school. The carriage had been on the road for more than fifty days, which was really far. In other words, on the 8th of August this year, Locke, who was now Lollister, had been exiled by the northern family for ten years. There had been no news of him for almost seven years. How was he doing there? Perhaps he could visit during the holidays this year? He remembered that there was a Black Swamp near his hometown. There was a major monster called the Ironback Bay Crocodile there, and its skin was very popular for making leather armour. Should he change his name and form a mercenary team to go back and take a look?
Suddenly, a strong sense of homesickness welled up in his heart. Sigh, I'll think about it after the 8th of August. I've transmigrated into Locke, and even this homesickness that was imprinted in my bones has been inherited. Forget it, it's almost been ten years. When I have some free time in the second half of the year, I'll apply for a leave. With the holidays, I should have enough time to make a trip back.
Lollister stood in front of the calendar, his finger touching the 8th of August engraved on it. Finally, he made a decision in his heart.
… …
"Good morning, Instructor Anfeya. I'm really happy to be able to work with you again. With your help, I believe that the impetus class will be much easier this time." The next day, Lollister arrived at the instructor's office behind the former Yellow Ribbon Academy's auditorium on time. As soon as he entered, he saw Dawn Academy's famous beautiful instructor, Anfeya, sitting behind the desk and looking at a large stack of documents in her hands.
Silver instructor Anfeya was thirty-seven years old. Due to her good maintenance, she looked like she was twenty-five or twenty-six years old. She was the dream goddess of many male students in the academy. She was married, and her husband was the academy's Gold instructor, Kelud. Two years ago, Instructor Anfeya was appointed by the academy to be Lollister's assistant. She assisted Lollister in teaching the impetus class, and the two worked very well together.
"Hey, Locke, do you only see beauties? Don't you see me, your big brother? "
Lollister looked up and was stunned. "Brother Marlin, why are you here too?"
The burly man standing in front of Lollister was Instructor Marlin, who lived in Villa 34 in the Gold instructor's residential area. Lollister had only visited him once after moving into his new home.
"Me too, Instructor Locke. We meet again. What a pleasure," a deep voice interrupted.
Lollister turned around and hurriedly saluted. "Greetings, Senior Hughes. Why are you here too?"
It was another Gold-ranked teacher, a veteran Gold-ranked teacher of Dawn Academy. Hughes Bordemicki, 2-star Gold-ranked. He had been teaching in the academy for more than 30 years. He was fair and not old-fashioned, and was very popular among the students.
Hughes nodded. "Instructor Locke, Instructor Marlin and I were appointed by the academy to be the deputy chief instructors of the impetus class this time. We will be your assistants. If there's anything you need, just instruct us. Instructor Anfeya will be your administrative assistant. "
Lollister suddenly felt something was wrong. He turned around and asked Anfeya, "Can you tell me how many people are in the impetus class this time?"
Instructor Anfeya smiled bitterly and pointed. "There's a small door over there that leads to the front desk of the auditorium. Chief Instructor Locke, you can go and take a look."
Damn it, I've been tricked by that damned Dean Levins again. Is this what he meant by a little too many people? This isn't the impetus class, it's purely a meeting.
Looking at the endless stream of students entering the auditorium, Lollister immediately understood the academy's intention in appointing the two Gold instructors as his assistants. It was to stabilize the situation.
Lollister returned to the office, sweating profusely. He asked with an ugly expression, "How many people are there in total?"
Instructor Anfeya handed over the stack of documents in her hands. "There are a total of 879 people. This is the list. "
Waving the list in his hand, Lollister smiled bitterly at the two Gold instructors, Hughes and Marlin. "Isn't the academy a little too much? Eight hundred and seventy-nine people. According to a normal impetus class of forty people, they can be divided into twenty-two classes. Each class has two instructors, which means there will be forty-four instructors. Now I'm in charge of everything, and I can't even handle it with the three of you. This is too unfair. It's practically forcing my hand. I think it's better if I resign. "
Instructor Marlin and Instructor Anfeya were dumbfounded when they heard that Lollister wanted to resign. If Instructor Locke just left, then who would clean up the mess left behind? The academy's reputation would be ruined if word of this got out. Just as they were about to persuade him, Instructor Hughes took out a document unhurriedly. "Instructor Locke, this is what the dean asked me to give you. The first one is a guarantee signed by you. It says that if you don't obey the academy's orders, you'll have to pay double the academy's losses. If you resign, the academy's losses will be at least tens of thousands from the chaos caused by the students outside. You'll have to take responsibility … "
F * ck, the unfair contract I promised the damned old man last year in order to go to the Ruins Islands is waiting for me! Lollister was furious, but he saw Instructor Hughes hand over the guarantee he had signed. "The dean said it was just a joke. Take back this guarantee yourself."
Instructor Marlin and Instructor Anfeya were anxious. What should they do if Instructor Locke still wanted to leave after taking back the guarantee?
On the other hand, Lollister was stunned when he received the guarantee. What did the damned old man mean by this? Was he going to let him off so easily?
Instructor Hughes handed over another piece of parchment. "This is the name list of the academy's Silver and Iron instructors. The dean said that Instructor Locke can choose twenty-four instructors from this list as members of the impetus class's teaching team. Instructor Locke will be in charge of assigning their duties. Those who don't obey will be immediately dismissed by the academy. In addition, due to the lack of instructors in the academy, Instructor Locke can choose twenty-four outstanding instructors from the academy's old students to become instructors' assistants. They will be in charge of the management of the students in the impetus class. "
Instructor Marlin and Instructor Anfeya were speechless at the side. This was handing over the power of personnel to Instructor Locke. Just the twenty-four instructors' assistant positions alone were enough for many students to work hard and long for. Although they only had one Gold Ford a month as a living allowance, it was enough for them to live a carefree life. If they performed well in two years and were officially hired as an instructor by the academy, even if they were Iron instructors, they would get three Gold Ford a month. That was a stable and high-paying position.
It was conceivable that as long as Instructor Locke had the right to choose the twenty-four instructors and the twenty-four instructors' assistant positions, he would soon be able to form a force with him as the leader in the academy. In the future, his words and opinions in the academy would have a certain weight.
The dean really valued Instructor Locke. This was Instructor Anfeya's thought.
Could it be that the dean and Instructor Locke were related in a roundabout way? Or perhaps Instructor Locke was the dean's … This was Instructor Marlin's guess.
"That's more like it …" Laurist's anger turned into joy, and he no longer made a fuss. He took the list, picked up a pen, and started scribbling on it.
"Also …" Hughes handed over another document, "This is because the number of students in the impetus class has exceeded the initial estimate, causing great confusion for Instructor Locke and the instructors' team. To compensate for the hard work of the instructors, the dean has specially instructed the academy's finance department to allocate a sum of money to the instructors' team as an additional welfare allowance. It's 150 gold coins per month, to be used by Instructor Locke. It will take effect once you sign here."
"Haha …" Laurist was very satisfied. He smiled as he took the document and started to sign it. However, he still sighed, "How rare, the academy is actually so generous this time …"
Instructor Anfeya, who was beside him, said softly, "I might know the reason. It's because Instructor Locke has taught the impetus class three times, and the news of all the students awakening impetus spread. The number of students signing up this year has exceeded the previous years by several times, and all of them have asked Instructor Locke to be their instructor. The dean said that anyone who wants to join the impetus class taught by Instructor Locke has to pay double the tuition fee to ensure that they can awaken impetus. That's why the students in the auditorium have paid double the tuition fee. "
Uh … Laurist was speechless. No wonder the old man was so considerate and generous. He had taken double the tuition fee from the students, and even made a promise, as if he was afraid that Laurist would not do his best, and handed over the authority of human resources and finances to him. The tuition fee for each student was five gold coins, and doubling that would be ten gold coins. He had received an extra 4,395 gold coins from 879 students. Even if this impetus class ended half a year ago, he would only pay 900 gold coins as an additional welfare allowance for the instructors' team. The academy had earned more than 3,000 gold coins. F * ck, this damn old man had really schemed against him to the death …
Laurist handed the list of instructors in his hand to Instructor Hughes, "I've already chosen nine instructors. The three of you can choose five instructors each. Do the same for the instructors' assistants, and leave nine spots for me. Instructor Anfeya, try to choose female instructors and outstanding female students as assistants. I went to the auditorium to take a look just now. There are many female students this time, and it's more convenient for female instructors to be in charge. "
"As for the additional welfare allowance, me, Instructor Hughes, and Instructor Marlin will receive five gold coins per month. Instructor Anfeya and the other instructors in charge will receive three gold coins per month. The assisting instructors will receive two gold coins per month, and the assistant instructors will receive one gold coin per month. The rest of the gold coins will be distributed to everyone as a bonus after the class ends. "
The three instructors, Hughes, Marlin, and Anfeya, were all moved. No one expected Laurist to give up his authority so easily. Instructor Hughes muttered softly, "The dean is right. Instructor Locke has always been impartial. He has no selfish motives …"
Laurist clapped his hands, "When it's time, we'll go to the auditorium to meet the new students. Instructor Anfeya, please tell us the rules of our impetus class. Just like last year, the official start of the class will be three days later. From then on, the students' food, accommodation, and sleep will all have to follow our rules. Those who are unwilling can go to the academy for a refund as soon as possible. It'll be too late to regret once the class starts."
"Instructor Marlin, I'll have to trouble you to assist Instructor Anfeya in checking the new students' accommodation and training grounds. Instructor Hughes, I'll leave the adjustment of the instructors and assistants to you. The class will officially start three days later. I'll have to check the physical conditions of these new students, and then divide them into several classes. We'll discuss how to allocate the instructors then. That's it, let's go to the front. "
