Chapter 22 The Right Course, the Right Teacher

“I can’t believe that I, the King of Cards of the Imperial Capital’s Qixing Street, have been reduced to being a teacher in such a remote mountain,” Li Fan put his legs on the small table and muttered to himself with a little grief and indignation.

Even though the tent was already filled with smoke, he still lit a cigarette with practiced

ease.

As a new teacher at Western Capital University, Li Fan only had one class this semester. That was the Summoner skill, Sprint.

[Sprint]: By consuming Mana, the Summoner gains a large increase in speed for a short time.

Among Summoners, this was not a very popular skill. After all, compared to Flash, it had a longer duration but was far less flexible. After all, Flash allowed one to directly move through the terrain and obstacles, while Sprint could normally not do this.

Moreover, the specific bonus that Sprint brought depended on the strength of the Summoner. If the Summoner’s strength was average, the effect would not be any much better.

There were only two teachers in the Sprint course that was open to freshmen this year. A total of 53 slots were open for the course. The other teacher took up 50 spots, and the remaining three spots belonged to Li Fan.

This was Li Fan’s request because he simply didn’t want to teach students at all. To put it bluntly, he didn’t want to be a teacher, and he didn’t know how to be one either.

He had come to work at Western Capital University only because of a bet on the card table. Due to the fact that he had long expressed this attitude, plus the fact that the teaching results of the new teacher were still unknown, the school allowed Li Fan’s

application for the limited quota.

“It’s a waste of time to set up a tent in the

wilderness. No students would choose me,” He

believed that with his reputation as a new teacher and the unpopular Sprint skill, no student would choose him today.

If he had no students, there was naturally no need to attend classes. While he could be happy and relaxed, he was also fulfilling the bet.

Look, it’s not that he was not willing to teach, it’s just that no students chose him.

However, what Li Fan absolutely did not expect was that just as the course selection officially began, a new student walked into his tent.

“Hello, teacher. I want to learn Sprint,” Doing this the second time, Li Pu was much more familiar with the procedures and said

immediately upon entering.

“…” With the cigarette in his mouth, Li Fan’s expression froze.

It can’t be, right? He just vowed that no student would choose him and now he was

going to be slapped in the face?

“Come over and sit,” With some diffidence, he

asked Li Pu to sit.

After all, he couldn’t reject a student straight out. He had to think of a way to persuade the

other party to leave.

However, Li Pu’s few steps stunned Li Fan

again.

This kid was a cripple? Could it be that he wanted to learn Sprint because he wanted to

make up for his shortcomings?

It had to be said that this made him feel some

sympathy, but even if it was out of good intentions, he still had to say something to persuade the boy to leave.

“I can roughly understand your intentions. To be honest, this place isn’t suitable for you. I hope you’ll reconsider. Although Sprint can temporarily increase one’s speed greatly, its effect is greatly reduced on people who can’t really walk.”

Li Fan’s explanation was true.

Li Pu, who had thought that he would be welcomed by another test paper, disagreed with what the teacher said.

Who can’t really walk? He felt that this Summoner’s skill was just what he wanted. If it could greatly increase his speed, then wouldn’t

he become even faster? It would simply be

wonderful.

Moreover, since this teacher was willing to give advice based on the personal situation of the freshmen, he should be a good and responsible

teacher.

Li Pu couldn’t help but have a better impression of him.

However, after thinking about it, he was now

in the process of course selection. To put it

bluntly, it was the new students who chose the classes and teachers, not the teachers who

chose them.

“Teacher, I would like to ask you a question,”

Hence, Li Pu decided to take the initiative, If you’re being chased by a magical beast, and

before you…”

“No need for “if’s”. No magical beasts can ever

catch up to me,” Unexpectedly, Li Fan simply waved his hand and interrupt the question

without thinking.

Of course, confidence was one of the reasons for his attitude. But on the other hand, he was

also deliberately trying to give the student a feeling that he was not easy to get along with. “Please don’t choose me, please don’t choose me, please don’t choose me…” On the surface, he had a straight face, but in reality, he was praying in his heart.

However, Li Fan’s plan failed. Li Pu’s eyes lit

up when he heard Li Fan’s answer. They were in sync.

It seemed that this teacher was the same as

him.

He decided. He would choose Sprint.

“Teacher, please take care of me this semester,” Thinking of this, he simply reached out his hand to Li Fan.

“???” The sudden situation left Li Fan dumbfounded.

Why was it completely the opposite of what he

had imagined?! Did this kid not hear what he

said just now?

“No, I just said…”

“It’s okay, I understand.” “I’ll tell you in advance, in class…” “There’s no need to say anymore, teacher. I

have decided,” This time, it was Li Pu’s turn to interrupt Li Fan, and it was twice in a row. Li Fan could see the determination in his eyes.

“… Very well,” In the end, he could only give a response with a dark face.

Although he was lazy to teach, since the student had already said so much, there was no room to persuade the other party to leave.

He just wanted to play cards in peace. Why was

it that he really became a teacher?

Li Fan, who was already slumping in his seat, looked even more dispirited.

According to the procedure, Li Pu, who had completed his course selection, could go back. But before he could leave, he received a notice from the other teachers.

Due to the magical beasts going on a rampage

in the forest, all the new students had to gather

on the hill and be escorted back by the teachers.

Since Li Pu didn’t have anywhere to go, he decided to stay in Li Fan’s tent.

After waiting for more than an hour, the fog in the forest had almost dissipated. The new students arrived one after another and began to choose their classes.

It was also around this time that Li Pu sensed

that the Scarecrow had finally arrived on the

hill.

It couldn’t be helped. Due to its body’s quality, its current speed was far from Li Pu’s. Moreover, 10 wood attributes didn’t really mean that it was the forest’s favorite, especially since berserk plant magical beasts were violent and simply couldn’t be bothered

to reason with one. Therefore, although the Scarecrow encountered fewer obstacles than others along the way, it still did.

Fortunately, it was quite clever and avoided the danger of being killed several times. Under the guidance of telepathy, the Scarecrow

quickly found the tent where Li Pu was in. However, what surprised Li Pu and made Li Fan’s face turn black again was that the Scarecrow had brought someone with it. It was Wu Guinan, who had barely caught up with the last batch of students to arrive after a hard

pursuit.

[Cao!]

The Scarecrows expressed, “Summoner, do you

not want me anymore?!”

As soon as the Scarecrow walked in, it started

to feign crying.

However, the Cola that was squeezed out of its eye sockets only showed that it was actually

quite fine.

“So you’re here!” Wu Guinan was delighted to see Li Pu.

“Good Morning, teacher,” As for Li Fan, he only greeted him respectfully.

It’s just… Did Li Pu choose this new teacher?

Although he didn’t know Li Fan’s appearance,

Wu Guinan knew that the new teacher taught Sprint.

The other teacher who taught Sprint was someone he had met before. Therefore, it was easy to determine the identity of the other party through elimination.

“You want to learn Sprint too?” Li Pu asked in

place of Li Fan, who had deliberately remained silent.

“That’s fine,” Wu Guinan nodded, which made Li Fan’s expression even uglier. In fact, as the last few in the competition to

arrive, Wu Guinan did not have many choices. Therefore, he might as well attend the class with Li Pu, who he was more familiar with. It would make him feel more at ease. At this point, the course selection competition

was finally over.
