Baiyi did not know whether to laugh or cry at this turn of events. He helplessly shoved the form back to Baldy and shrugged. "I really didn't know that HQ would recruit students like these."
"That's not a problem, Great Sage." Baldy was still as calm as ever. He continued to say, "Education without discrimination has always been our motto. You haven't forgotten that, have you?"
"But this is too …" Baiyi hesitated. Perhaps he did not want to hurt his students' self-esteem. He did not want to be too direct.
"Great Sage Hope, you should think of it this way. Students like them are much rarer than normal human students. They often have to put in a lot more effort than normal humans to keep up with them. In my opinion, they are excellent students, and this survey proves it. At the same time, the process of teaching them will be a whole new experience. Many people at HQ are reluctant to let them go," Baldy continued.
'You're just putting it this way. If they're really that popular, why don't you just let them stay and teach them? Why push them to me, who's always wandering around?' Baiyi thought to himself.
Baldy seemed to have guessed what Baiyi was thinking, so he quickly explained, "Actually, there's another reason why we want them to come to you. They're different from humans, after all. Staying in the Mage Tower and the Library for too long might erase their natural instincts. It's a cruel thing to do …"
Alright, that was a plausible reason. Baiyi thought about it for a moment and turned to look at his students. All of them were looking at him with pitiful eyes. 'I despise them so much, but they're actually looking up to me?' Baiyi thought to himself.
Baiyi's heart softened. After a moment of hesitation, he said, "Alright, I understand. But … I have a few students with me as well. I'm not sure if they'll accept —"
Before he could finish his sentence, a familiar voice came from behind him. "Whoa! What a beautiful big doggie! "
Little Mia had heard Baiyi arguing with someone outside, so she had come out to have a look. When she saw the big, beautiful fox, she could not help but pounce on it.
"Doggie is so cute …" Little Mia boldly rubbed against the fox's soft, fluffy fur. What about the fox? It gave Baiyi a helpless, bitter smile. It was a very human-like smile.
Perhaps it was a good choice to accept them? 'That Baldy has a point. A race that understands human nature and is willing to learn human culture is even rarer than a so-called genius …' Baiyi thought to himself. He turned around and saw Baldy nodding lightly. It seemed like he had guessed Baiyi's decision.
"Alright, one last question …" Baiyi shifted his gaze to the only normal humanoid being in the room, the rich Vidomina. However, upon closer inspection, Baiyi realized that Vidomina was neither tall nor old, but her body was so developed that even her ash-gray robe could not hide it. Could she really be considered a normal human?
"Miss Vidomina has volunteered to be your student." Baldy added, "You guys should have established a deep friendship before this, right? I think you'll like her. "
"Mentor!" Vidomina hurriedly took two steps forward and said, "I will always remember the help you've given me. When I heard that you were recruiting students, I was the first to sign up …" She uttered a series of bureaucratic pleasantries and took out a small box from her robe and handed it to Baiyi. "This is a small gift. Please accept it, Mentor."
Baiyi opened the box and saw a few pieces of paper with various seals inside. Upon closer inspection, he realized that it was the title deed for the entire street where the mansion was located!
Even though Tisdale's mansion was not considered as a wealthy district, it was still a standard school district that was close to the Celestial Fortress Academy. There were less than ten families living on the entire street and most of them were middle class and small aristocrats. Even so, it was a little too extravagant to give away an entire street as a gift. No wonder Baiyi could see his neighbors happily moving away these past few days.
'What's so great about being rich?
Vidomina, on the other hand, had an expression that said, 'Sorry, you can do whatever you want when you're rich!'
"Anyway, let's talk inside." Baiyi moved to the side of the door and invited his new students in. Then, he grabbed Little Mia's ear and scolded, "Don't pull its ear! Can't you see that it's about to cry? "
A few moments later, everyone was seated in the living room. Attie hurriedly ran out of the kitchen with a tea set in her hands. However, when she saw the house filled with all kinds of strange creatures, she let out a yelp and dropped the tea tray on the floor.
Suddenly, the pot of sunflower twisted its body and released a burst of magical energy to hold the tea tray in place. Then, it brought the tea table to the table. The owl on top of the fox's head flew up and grabbed the teapot with its talons, pouring the steaming hot tea into the teacups. Then, the fox waved its long tail like a big broom, sending the teacups into the hands of everyone present. First, it was Baiyi, then Baldy, and finally itself. It held the small teacups with its front paws and licked the tea with its tongue, a satisfied expression on its face.
'Wow, these guys are so smart!' Baiyi nodded to himself as he watched from the side.
"Haha! Like I said, they're excellent students!" Baldy boasted as he blew on his teacup.
With that, everything was settled. Baldy gave Baiyi a copy of each student's information and excused himself. After that, it was time for Baiyi to start his class.
The first class at a time like this was, of course, a cliché self-introduction. However, considering that some of his new students were special, Baiyi could only help them out a little. He picked up the information on the table and flipped through it.
"Hmm … Let me see … You're Sunny?" Baiyi asked the sunflower pot, and the sunflower wriggled happily. Then, he continued reading. "Race: Soul-Sucking Demonic Flower. Majors: Druid Magic, Apothecary, Botany, and Illusion …"
'Why does it look like a sunflower?' Baiyi put down Sunny the sunflower's information and picked up the owl's information.
"You're Bird? What kind of name does an owl have? Why don't you call yourself Johnson? " Baiyi ridiculed as he watched, "It's a Shadow Nightingale … Tsk, what a rare species. Lend me a few feathers to experiment on later … Ah, no, no, no, I mean later, not now … Hmm, its specialization is martial arts/magic, aerial combat, exploration, and magical creatures …"
After reading the information of the four non-humans, it was finally Vidomina's turn. She stood up from the sofa with a whoosh, causing her chest to ripple. Mia and Tisdale who were watching from the side were stunned for a moment before they lowered their heads in shame.
"I'm Vidomina. I'm sure Mia still remembers me, right? I'm a human, and my major is Curses. I'm sorry, but I'm not as knowledgeable as my seniors, "Vidomina said confidently. Then, she patted her chest with a dull thud and continued," I'm considered to have a say in this city. If you guys have any trouble in the future, feel free to look for me! "
Attie, who was sitting beside her, also patted her chest out of curiosity when she saw Vidomina's action. Then, she heard a loud thud.
It's hard for you to get along with people like this, Vidomina …
Finally, it was the big fox's turn and a fairy whose face was covered by a witch's hat.
The fox made a series of strange noises and then turned to look at the fairy. It stretched out its long tail and gently stroked the fairy's back as if it was comforting her.
"It's … It's called Zakum …" The fairy translated the fox's words with a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz. However, her voice was so soft that the girls could not hear her even when they strained their ears.
"I-I'm Nota Sinioris. Everyone … Just call me Nota …" The fairy continued to speak in the same volume. She seemed to be very afraid of strangers, and she did not even dare to raise her head to look at the others.
As a result, the big fox beside her suddenly used its big tail to flick the hat on her head into the air. Then, light blue long hair bloomed like fireworks. At the same time, the seductress's beautiful face, which was carefully sculpted by nature, was exposed in front of everyone.
"Ahhh!" Nota suddenly let out a scream and wanted to retrieve her hat, but she didn't know where the fox had sent it. Everyone's eyes were focused on her, causing her face to quickly turn red and tears to well up in her eyes. She looked particularly pitiful, but also surprisingly cute.
'Isn't this girl a little too weak? Won't she be bullied by others in the future? Besides, I remember that her major is aerial combat … How can she fight in the air like this? Do I need to act cute? ' Baiyi thought helplessly.
Just as the fairy girl was about to burst into tears, Mia and Tisdale, the two girls who had the most healing attributes in the room, grabbed her hands and gently stroked the back of her porcelain-like hands, trying to calm her down.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. We're all classmates and friends now. We won't hurt you …"
"Nota, you're so beautiful … My name is Mia, and we're all friends from now on …"
The smiles of these two girls were probably the best placebo in the world, right? They comforted the fairy girl one after another, and it actually made her quickly stop crying. A sweet smile appeared on her face.
