Chapter 311: Furthering Education (Five-in-One)
by SunflowerEvening.
In the center of Starlight City’s A2 District, a giant, sail-shaped hotel with outer walls made of sparkling gemstone facets, emitting a soft glow, was nestled within a garden.
The garden was lush green, planted with various rare plants. To the side, there was also an artificial lake, its water remarkably clear, shimmering under the glow of the setting sun.
At the hotel’s magnificent entrance, two ancient stone lion statues stood tall.
At this moment, Su Ming, leading Rhine and the others, walked over from the subway exit not far away.
When they arrived at the entrance of the Radiant Hotel, they all let out gasps of amazement.
“Wow, this hotel looks so high-class!”
“Class Monitor, did we come to the wrong place?”
“It should be correct, this is the Radiant Hotel, but it’s a bit too high-class.”
Su Ming carefully checked the hotel’s name to confirm.
“This Radiant Hotel is a seven-star hotel, one of the top hotels in Starlight City. I’ve never been to such a good hotel in my life.”
Rhine said with deep emotion.
“Alright, let’s go in first.”
Su Ming didn’t dwell on it and led everyone inside.
As they walked to the entrance, a female manager, dressed in a blue cheongsam, with her black hair tied up, a unique figure, and a beautiful, elegant appearance, walked up and asked respectfully.
“Welcome, I am He Jia, the reception manager of the Radiant Hotel. Do you have a reservation?”
“Yes, the reservation name is Mia.”
Su Ming reported simply.
“This way, please.”
After hearing the name Su Ming reported, He Jia immediately said respectfully.
Su Ming and the others then followed Manager He Jia inside.
Along the way, Zhang Yi and the others looked at the various rare plants in the garden, discussing quietly.
“White orchid trees, each worth tens of millions of federal currency. There’s a whole patch planted here, truly wealthy!”
Su Ming glanced at the garden, feeling a bit uneasy.
Judging by the environment’s caliber, the consumption level here would definitely not be low. It would be amusing if they got stuck here after finishing their meal.
Soon after, He Jia led Su Ming and the others to the entrance of the hotel building.
Beautiful female attendants, dressed in identical blue uniforms, bowed ninety degrees respectfully to everyone, including Su Ming.
“Welcome!”
Su Ming and the others walked in, arriving at an extremely spacious and luxurious hall.
The hall had a ceiling height of thirty meters, and the dome at the top was equipped with a special holographic projection device, simulating a brilliant starry sky with twinkling stars.
The hall’s floor was paved with obsidian gold bricks, and the walls were carved with angel reliefs full of sacred artistic flair.
At this moment, in the hall, one could see men in white shirts and custom black suits, and some women in luxurious dresses adorned with various exquisite jewelry, conversing.
Each of these conversing individuals exuded an extraordinary aura.
“My goodness, isn’t that Qiao Sai, the CEO of Haitong Interstellar Investment Group?”
Zhang Yi said in surprise.
“That’s nothing. Look at the bald man talking to him, dressed in a black tailcoat with a green leaf pin on his chest. That guy is Nikagen, the Vice President of Vox Bio Interstellar Group! I often see him on TV!”
Rhine said even more astonished.
“Vox Bio Interstellar Group? Are you talking about the company that monopolizes nearly half of the Federation’s green plants?”
Su Ming asked with a frown.
“Exactly. Why are so many capital giants gathered here?”
Rhine said in disbelief.
Just then, Manager He Jia said respectfully.
“Gentlemen, please follow me upstairs. Our private room is on the top floor, the third floor.”
“Okay!”
Su Ming and the others nodded in agreement and followed Manager He Jia towards the elevator.
At this moment, Nikagen, the Vice President of Vox Bio Interstellar Group, who was conversing with CEO Qiao Sai, caught a glimpse of Su Ming and the others out of the corner of his eye, frowning slightly as he said.
“Who are those people?”
“I’m not sure, weren’t they invited by you?”
Qiao Sai glanced and asked.
“No. Paul, go call the manager over.”
Nikagen turned to his assistant beside him and said.
“Yes!”
Paul immediately turned and left.
Soon, Paul returned with a refined-looking female manager, wearing a silver brooch on her chest, dressed in a blue uniform, and possessing an outstanding demeanor.
“Lord Nikagen, how may I assist you?”
“Manager Moran, didn’t we book out the hotel? Why are there still outsiders?”
“It’s like this, Lord Nikagen. They made their reservation earlier than yours, and they only booked one private room, which won’t affect you.”
“Stop talking! Just tell me directly, besides us, how many other private rooms have been booked out in total.”
“Two.”
“Lord Aisiting prefers quiet. Go cancel those two private rooms and give them double compensation.”
Nikagen instructed very simply.
“Okay!”
Manager Moran hesitated for a moment, but finally responded respectfully.
On the other side, Manager He Jia led Su Ming and the others to their private room.
The entire private room covered a full five hundred square meters. Under the exquisite crystal chandelier, a hundred-person round table was placed. Around the private room were soft sofas and a giant five-meter-long fish tank, housing three golden dragon fish.
Manager He Jia asked respectfully.
“Gentlemen and ladies, are all of you here? Shall we order now?”
“Not yet, let’s wait until everyone arrives before ordering!”
Su Ming said to Manager He Jia.
“Alright, then I’ll excuse myself for now. If you need anything, you can always press the call button on the table.”
Manager He Jia bowed, respectfully exited, and closed the door to the private room.
After Manager He Jia left, Rhine and the others excitedly chatted.
“Indeed, there’s a reason why it’s expensive; this private room is really nice.”
“I wonder what delicious food they have here.”
“Don’t worry, a hotel of this caliber has everything. It just depends on whether we can afford to order it.”
“That’s true, but we should still be mindful later, so we don’t eat our teacher out of house and home.”
Su Ming stood with his hands behind his back, walked to the fish tank, and watched the swimming dragon fish with interest.
One must know that the Bewildering Star was all desert, so seeing fish was practically impossible.
Just then, a knock sounded.
Thump-thump!
“The teacher is here.”
Rhine and the others heard the knock, happily walked to the private room door, and opened it.
However, they were stunned to see that the person knocking was not Teacher Mia but Manager Moran.
Manager Moran said politely.
“Excuse me, I am Manager Moran of the Radiant Hotel.”
“Is there something?”
Su Ming walked over and asked.
“Gentlemen and ladies, I am very sorry! Our hotel has been booked out by Vox Bio Interstellar Group. They are holding an important meeting here and do not wish to have outsiders present. Therefore, could we discuss canceling this private room? For any inconvenience caused, they are willing to compensate double the liquidated damages.”
Moran requested with a sincere attitude.
“Ah? Cancel the private room.”
Rhine and the others were all stunned.
Su Ming sighed slightly. As expected, seeing those capital giants never led to anything good.
Actually, if it were a normal cancellation, it wouldn’t matter, but this private room was booked by Mia.
Moreover, this was a farewell banquet for their entire class and Teacher Mia, carrying a very special meaning that couldn’t be measured by money.
Thinking of this, Su Ming replied.
“Sorry, we don’t want to cancel.”
“Exactly, why should we cancel? We’re not disturbing them.”
Rhine and the others replied discontentedly.
Manager Moran saw that Su Ming and the others were unwilling to cancel and said with difficulty.
“I know this matter has indeed caused inconvenience to everyone, and I sincerely apologize here. But I still hope everyone can consider it, after all, those who booked out the hotel this time are giants from various industries.”
“Then we still won’t cancel. We haven’t done anything wrong.”
Rhine and the others replied very angrily.
“Exactly, why should we cancel?”
Elu and the other girls were also very angry.
At this moment, Paul entered with several strong bodyguards.
Su Ming and the others warily looked at these uninvited guests. These guys were all armed with firearms, and none of them looked like easy targets.
Paul looked at Su Ming and the others and said.
“Who among you can make the decision?”
“Me.”
Su Ming took a step forward and replied, gazing at Paul.
Paul looked at Su Ming and said.
“Sir, I hope you can give us some face and cancel this private room. It will be better for everyone.”
“What if I say no?”
Su Ming asked calmly.
“Then it’s a pity, we can only ask you to leave.”
Paul saw that Su Ming and the others were unwilling to cooperate, so he waved his hand, and the bodyguards stepped forward, extending their hands towards them in a gesture of invitation.
His meaning was very direct: either be politely escorted out, or force would be used.
Rhine and the others narrowed their eyes, glancing at Su Ming out of the corner of their eyes.
If Su Ming gave them a signal, they would definitely act without hesitation.
Although these people were armed, at such close range, Rhine and the others were not really afraid of them.
However, Su Ming pondered for a moment and then said.
“Let’s go!”
Rhine and the others felt incredibly aggrieved when they heard Su Ming’s words, but no one argued.
“Very good, please escort them out.”
Paul saw that Su Ming and the others had compromised, then said to the bodyguards.
“Yes!”
These bodyguards personally escorted Su Ming and the others out.
Soon after, Su Ming and all the others were escorted out of the hotel.
“Damn it, I’m so angry. Class Monitor, are we just going to let it go?”
Zhang Yi cursed furiously.
“Sigh, what else can we do? We can’t fight them just for a private room, can we? What if someone gets hurt? And those people are really powerful. If we really fought, what if they came after you? I have to consider your safety, don’t I?”
Su Ming said with a calm expression.
If it were just him, Su Ming wouldn’t be afraid of these guys.
But with so many classmates present, being targeted by these giants would be extremely troublesome.
After all, many of them came from humble families.
“So what do we do now?”
Anqi and the others looked at Su Ming.
“Let’s wait until Teacher Mia arrives, then we’ll discuss it.”
Su Ming sighed and replied.
Hearing Su Ming’s words, everyone fell silent.
—
Radiant Hotel, Third Floor, Starlight Private Room.
A man in a dark gray custom suit, wearing black glasses, with a handsome face and refined demeanor, sat steadily at the head of the round dining table.
The other seats were occupied by elderly individuals dressed in luxurious attire, each exuding a powerful aura.
These elders were all the power holders of various financial conglomerates.
“Thank you all for taking the time out of your busy schedules to attend this gathering.”
The refined man spoke very courteously.
“Lord Aisiting, you are truly too kind; it is our honor.”
Everyone present replied with smiles.
“Then let’s begin discussing the matters. The main reason I called you here this time is for the Neutral Countries in the Donao Star Sea. I’m sure you’ve also received news that the main force of the Imperial Army has been damaged and retreated to the Crimson Star Sea.”
“That’s right.”
“I believe the time is ripe; it’s time for us to act.”
“Lord Aisiting, could you elaborate on the specific plan?”
“It’s simple. We sell grain, fresh water, weapons, and medicine to these Neutral Countries at high prices. With the money obtained, we then buy up their mineral resources, land, real estate, factories, and all other high-quality assets at rock-bottom prices.”
Aisiting said with a smile.
“Lord Aisiting, did you get some news? Is the Federation going to intervene?”
Everyone looked at Aisiting.
The Federation isn’t entering the fray yet, but I think it will sooner or later. However, by then, it’ll be too late to buy at the bottom. To get high returns, you have to bear corresponding risks. Only when they are desperate can we carve up these Neutral Countries at extremely low prices.
That makes sense!
Of course, risks still need to be controlled. We won’t buy countries too close to the front lines; we’ll mainly focus on those Neutral Countries near the Federation.
Feasible. I think we can add something: besides acquiring heavy assets at dirt-cheap prices, we can also appropriately lend them high-interest war funds. Later, if they lose, we can seize their assets in the Federation. If they win, we can make them repay these funds. If they can’t repay, we can then carve up their most core assets.
That’s a good idea. The specific implementation plan can be drafted by those in the meeting below.
—
Half an hour later, a hover taxi drove over.
Mia, dressed in a black uniform, opened the car door and stepped out.
She looked at Su Ming and the others squatting on the street, smiling and saying,
“Why aren’t you going in? Why are you all squatting here? Is it because this hotel is too high-class, and you’re worried Teacher will trick you? Don’t worry, I definitely won’t trick you this time.”
“No, Teacher. We went in, but we were just kicked out.”
Su Ming explained helplessly.
When Mia heard Su Ming’s words, the smile on her face instantly vanished, and she asked coldly,
“What happened? Why did the hotel kick you out? Didn’t I book a private room?”
“The Glorious Hotel was booked by a group of capital giants. They didn’t want to see outsiders, so they kicked us out.”
Su Ming said simply.
“Who?!”
Mia’s tone revealed a hint of anger as she asked.
“Forget it, Teacher. These people are indeed not to be trifled with. The leader is Vox Bio Interstellar Group.”
Su Ming thought for a moment and advised Mia.
“Vox Bio Interstellar Group? So what? Why should they kick you out? Come in with me!”
When Mia heard that name, her expression grew even gloomier.
“Forget it, Teacher. They brought a lot of bodyguards.”
Rhine saw Mia getting angry and quickly tried to dissuade her, afraid that Mia would suffer losses by standing up for them.
“Hmph, what’s so great about having many people? You guys wait!”
Mia raised her wristband, tapped a few times, and sent a message.
“Teacher, are you really going to conflict with them? Will something happen?”
Elu and the other girls asked worriedly.
“What’s there to be afraid of? I’m here! Today, I must make them give us an explanation!”
Mia said, suppressing the anger in her heart.
“Okay!”
Rhine and the others immediately beamed with joy upon hearing this.
Su Ming shook his head involuntarily when he saw this scene. There was a good show to watch!
About twenty minutes later, military transport vehicles sped over and stopped directly in front of Su Ming and the others.
Immediately after, Su Ming and the others saw Lieutenant Colonel Alaco leading two hundred soldiers, wearing second-generation exoskeleton armor and holding beam guns, disembark.
“Wow! Teacher is awesome!”
Rhine and the others’ eyes instantly lit up.
This was the center of Starlight City, and Teacher could summon so many people with just one message.
“Ms. Mia!”
Lieutenant Colonel Alaco saluted Mia.
“Follow me!”
Mia directly led Alaco and the others towards the main entrance of the Glorious Hotel.
The security guards at the Glorious Hotel’s main entrance were stunned when they saw Mia leading a troop towards them.
The captain, who was in charge, was just about to step forward and inquire.
Lieutenant Colonel Alaco directly raised the gun in his hand, pointed it at him, and coldly shouted,
“Get out!”
The security captain’s body trembled instantly, and he quickly retreated, not daring to obstruct in the slightest.
Just like that, Mia led Su Ming and the others to rudely storm into the Glorious Hotel.
Glorious Hotel, Second Floor, Conference Hall.
Vice President Nikagen was discussing the specific plan for harvesting the Neutral Countries with Jose and others.
Although the overall strategy was decided by the big shots, the actual execution was still done by them.
They needed to formulate the optimal plan and conduct risk assessments for various Neutral Countries. However, just as they were discussing very happily,
Mia led everyone up.
Lieutenant Colonel Alaco, without a word, directly led the soldiers to charge forward.
The bodyguards on site were greatly alarmed and were just about to draw the sidearms from their waists.
Over two hundred soldiers raised their muzzles at them and sternly ordered,
“Don’t move!”
Vice President Nikagen and the others were instantly in an uproar when they saw this scene, their faces filled with disbelief.
When had they ever been pointed at with guns?
“Who are you? Who gave you the guts to break in with guns? Are you rebelling?”
Vice President Nikagen regained his senses and angrily shouted at Lieutenant Colonel Alaco.
Lieutenant Colonel Alaco didn’t waste any words. He directly raised the beam gun in his hand and fired a shot at the light on the ceiling.
Bang!
The loud noise interrupted Vice President Nikagen’s words.
Vice President Nikagen and the others were all startled; these people were serious.
Rhine and the others showed expressions of extreme excitement when they saw this scene. Teacher was truly too fierce.
At this moment, Mia scanned the people present, snorted coldly, and said,
“Who’s in charge here?”
Just as Vice President Nikagen was about to speak, footsteps came from the spiral staircase behind him.
“What happened?”
A steady voice came.
Su Ming and the others turned their heads to look, only to see President Aisiting leading several old men down.
Mia looked at Aisiting and the others, her expression instantly sinking, seemingly feeling a hint of difficulty.
She hadn’t expected so many big shots to gather here.
Aisiting and the old men behind him, any one of them could make the Federation tremble just by stomping their foot.
Vice President Nikagen saw Mr. Aisiting come down and quickly walked up, saying,
“Sir, these people rushed in for no reason and put us…”
At this moment, Aisiting saw Mia leading the team, then raised his hand to interrupt Vice President Nikagen’s words, revealing a slight smile and saying,
“Isn’t this Young Lady Mia? What brings you here?”
“Aisiting, I didn’t expect to see you here.”
Mia replied ungraciously.
“Young Lady Mia, I wonder where we offended you to make you so angry.”
Aisiting asked with a smile.
“Hmph, what are you pretending for? I booked a private room here to treat my students to a meal, and you kicked my students out of the hotel. Do you think I’m easy to bully?”
Mia replied coldly.
Aisiting raised an eyebrow slightly upon hearing this, and asked expressionlessly,
“Nikagen, what exactly happened?”
Nikagen explained nervously,
“Sir, didn’t we book this hotel? But we didn’t expect the hotel to have two private rooms already reserved. Didn’t you say you wanted some quiet? So I thought of asking them to cancel their bookings, and I even had my subordinates offer them double compensation. If that wasn’t enough, triple would also be fine.”
After hearing Nikagen’s words, Aisiting smiled and said to Mia,
“Miss Mia, I am truly sorry. My subordinates didn’t know you booked the private room. This is all a misunderstanding!”
When Mia heard Nikagen mention compensation, her eyes instantly darted, and she turned to Su Ming and the others, saying,
“What’s wrong with you guys? So insensible. Didn’t you hear them say there’s triple compensation?”
“Huh?”
Rhine and the others were also stunned, looking at Mia in confusion.
What play was Teacher putting on? Weren’t they here to get even? Why was she scolding them instead?
However, Su Ming immediately reacted and cooperated, saying,
“Teacher is right.”
At this moment, Mia turned to Aisiting and said,
“You’re right, it really is a misunderstanding. Since you’re willing to compensate, then this matter is easily resolved. Triple it is, then!”
“No problem.”
Aisiting immediately replied.
At this moment, Manager Moyan also rushed over with her staff.
However, before she could even speak to persuade, Mia waved at her and said,
“You, come here!”
Manager Moyan quickly stepped forward, asking uneasily,
“Miss, how may I help you?”
“I ask you, how much would it cost to order every single dish and drink here, regardless of price? Calculate it immediately and tell me!”
Mia asked unceremoniously.
Manager Moyan was slightly startled. Although she didn’t know why Mia was asking this.
However, she still immediately raised the wristband on her hand, brought up the prices of all dishes and drinks, and quickly calculated the total.
Soon, Manager Moyan finished the calculation, and she respectfully said to Mia,
“Miss, the total is one billion, two million, two hundred thirty thousand federal currency!”
After Mia heard this, she directly extended her hand to Aisiting and said,
“One billion, two million, two hundred thirty thousand federal currency. We’ll round it to one billion federal currency. Triple compensation means three billion federal currency! Hand it over!”
Su Ming and the others’ eyelids twitched when they heard Mia’s quote. Teacher really dared to ask!
They resolutely prepared to turn hostile.
Vice President Nikagen’s expression instantly tightened upon hearing this price, and he spoke,
“Three billion? Isn’t that an outrageous demand?”
“Outrageous demand? I’m treating my students to a meal. I’m happy to order everything. What’s the problem? Is it excessive?”
Mia said righteously.
“Not excessive. Three billion it is, as long as you’re happy! Nikagen, give the money to Young Lady Mia.”
At this moment, Aisiting said with a smile.
Vice President Nikagen’s face showed a look of horror when he heard Aisiting’s words. This was not a small sum, and the other party was clearly intentionally extorting them, yet Mr. Aisiting actually told him to pay.
However, he did not dare to refute Aisiting and could only respond,
“Yes, transferring immediately!”
Su Ming and the others showed strange expressions after hearing this; the other party actually compromised.
“Generous indeed!”
Mia said to Aisiting with a smile.
“Thank you for the compliment, Young Lady Mia. Since we’ve met by chance today, would you honor us by having a meal together?”
Aisiting actively invited Mia to dine with them.
“No, I’m not interested in dining with you. However, since I’ve accepted your compensation, I naturally won’t disturb you. Lieutenant Colonel Alaco, dismiss the troops.”
Mia directly said to Lieutenant Colonel Alaco.
“Yes!”
Alaco did not hesitate, putting away the gun in his hand.
The soldiers on site also put away their weapons one after another.
“Let’s go!”
Mia waved her hand and led everyone away.
Aisiting stood quietly in place, watching Mia and the others leave.
After Mia had gone far, Nikagen asked, puzzled,
“Sir, I don’t quite understand why we had to pay her. The other party was clearly challenging the authority of our Vox Bio Interstellar Group.”
This was no longer just a matter of three billion federal currency, but a matter of face. When had their Vox Bio Interstellar Group ever suffered such humiliation? Which important figure in the Federation didn’t treat them with utmost politeness?
“No matter, these are small matters. In the future, try to avoid Miss Mia and don’t conflict with her.”
Aisiting replied very calmly, without showing any anger.
When Nikagen heard Aisiting’s words, his heart was like a turbulent sea, unable to calm down for a long time.
Mr. Aisiting was actually backing down, not just a delaying tactic.
He had followed Aisiting for so many years and knew his temperament and shrewdness better than anyone. Anyone who offended him would almost certainly not see the sun the next day.
On the other side.
Mia led Su Ming and the others out of the hotel.
Lieutenant Colonel Alaco saluted Mia and said,
“Madam, do you have any further orders? If not, I will take my men and leave first.”
“Go ahead.”
Mia waved her hand in response.
Lieutenant Colonel Alaco then led his men onto the transport vehicle and departed.
At this moment, Su Ming and the others looked at Teacher Mia.
“Teacher, where are we going next?”
“Of course, we’re going to find a random hotel nearby to eat. I’m telling you, don’t be stingy with money. You can eat anywhere, right?”
Mia said to Su Ming and the others with a smile.
In fact, Mia had already made up her mind when she went in: if the other party spoke nicely, then they would talk nicely. If the other party was ignorant, then she wouldn’t hesitate to turn hostile and kick them all out.
“Teacher, if he had given us this much money earlier, would we have needed them to kick us out? If we had walked even a little slower, it would have been disrespectful to the money.”
Su Ming replied with a smile.
“Exactly, so much money.”
Rhine and the others said with grins.
“Haha, let’s go!”
Mia led the group towards the distance.
One hour later.
Mia took Su Ming and the others to another hotel and reserved a private room.
Although this hotel couldn’t compare to the Guangyao Hotel, it was still a six-star hotel, and its standard was very high.
Mia ordered a table full of dishes: various rare crabs, lobsters, mushrooms, vegetables, and fruits were all available. In addition, she also ordered ten cases of expensive wine.
Everyone drank, ate, and chatted excitedly.
“Teacher, you are really too cool. You led us in, and those guys didn’t even dare to fart.”
“Exactly, and when you asked for three billion, that Nika’s face turned green.”
Rhine and the others became more and more excited as they spoke.
“It’s nothing. They were sensible this time, but if they hadn’t paid up, I definitely would have kicked them all out. How dare they bully my students? They must be tired of living!”
Mia said happily.
“You’re still the most dominant, Teacher!”
Zhang Yi gave Mia a thumbs up.
“However, when I’m not around in the future, you must know your limits. A wise man doesn’t fight a losing battle; endure when you can. Especially when you encounter something like today, do not get into a conflict with those guys. You did the right thing by leaving; you did very well.”
Mia said to everyone.
Upon hearing Mia’s words, Rhine and the others’ joyful mood instantly plummeted, and they all fell silent.
Su Ming also sighed, feeling a bit reluctant for Mia to leave.
Mia looked at the silent crowd and said to them with a smile.
“Don’t be so down. I’m just not teaching you anymore; it’s not like I’m dead. We’ll definitely see each other again in the future. Cheer up!”
“Teacher, we’ll miss you.”
Angel and the other girls said, their eyes a little red.
“Alas, I’ll miss you too, but there’s nothing I can do! How about this! I promise you, I’ll come to see you whenever I have the chance in the future!”
Mia said to Su Ming and the others.
“Okay.”
Everyone responded one after another.
“Also, after I leave, you should listen to the class monitor more. No matter what you encounter, try to discuss it with him.”
Mia then instructed everyone.
“Alright!”
Rhine and the others replied seriously.
Mia also turned to Su Ming and instructed him.
“Take good care of your classmates.”
“Don’t worry, I will.”
Su Ming agreed calmly.
“Oh, by the way, I’ve prepared a gift for each of you, everyone gets one!”
Mia took out a pile of small USB drives, each with a name label corresponding to a student.
“Teacher, what is this?”
Rhine and the others asked curiously.
“Mecha training techniques, which I specifically customized and designed for you. After you take them back, study them well, and you will definitely benefit greatly.”
Mia explained to everyone with a smile.
“Thank you, Teacher!”
Rhine and the others replied with beaming smiles.
“Teacher, what about me?”
Su Ming looked at Mia in confusion. Everyone else had one except him.
“You don’t need it. I can’t teach you anymore.”
Mia said to Su Ming with a smile.
“How is that possible? You still have so much to teach me!”
“What things?”
“Like Light Speed Flash!”
Su Ming suggested with a grin.
“Haha, I knew you were thinking about Light Speed Flash. I’ve already prepared it for you, here you go!”
Mia took out a USB drive from her pocket and handed it to Su Ming.
“Thank you, Teacher!”
Su Ming took it and said gratefully.
“Oh, by the way, Teacher, after you leave, who will teach us?”
Elu asked somewhat curiously.
Mia paused slightly when she heard Elu’s words, then fell into a memory.
Not long ago, in the first-year teachers’ office.
Teacher Tang Xuan, Teacher Ofam, and other teachers were sitting at their desks.
Everyone was busy organizing documents and preparing various teaching materials.
Mia walked in with a heavy heart, sat down at her desk, leaned back in her chair, and fell into thought.
At this moment, Teacher Chen Yue from Class 19 walked past Mia’s desk. He then stopped and looked at Mia with some surprise.
“How rare, Teacher Mia, you’re not drinking today?”
“Alas, I’m not in the mood.”
“Oh, what’s wrong? Did you cause trouble again?”
“No, it’s just that I’m being transferred.”
Mia said with a sigh.
“You’re being transferred?”
Teacher Kafarro, the special training class teacher nearby, immediately put down his pen and looked up in surprise when he heard this, asking.
“That’s right. Can any of you help with substitute teaching? Class 23 won’t have a teacher after I’m transferred.”
Mia said to everyone with a hint of guilt.
She knew all the teachers had opinions about her, but she had no choice now. She could only bite the bullet and ask.
As soon as she said this, Teacher Ofam immediately spoke up.
“I’ll substitute teach!”
“Teacher Ofam, you’re so busy, you probably can’t spare the time. How about I substitute teach instead?”
Teacher Tang Xuan immediately followed suit and said.
“No need, I can work overtime and definitely make time.”
Opham said very confidently.
“That’s too much trouble. How about letting me substitute teach!”
Kafarro also chimed in.
“I can also substitute teach, why not give it to me!”
Teacher Chen Yue quickly said.
Mia was stunned, looking at the many teachers in disbelief. These people were actually fighting over it.
“You’re going too far, I want to substitute teach too.”
Teacher Cheng Ke from Class 2 also joined in.
For a moment, everyone started arguing, not giving way to anyone. Although they disliked Mia, they had seen how excellent the students in Class 23 were.
“Stop, stop arguing! This won’t work. If you ask me, let’s just split up the students from Class 23, and each of us takes a portion.”
Teacher Chen Yue suggested directly.
“I want Su Ming!”
Teacher Tang Xuan directly named him.
“Teacher Tang Xuan, you can’t do that. Su Ming should join our special training class.”
Kafarro quickly retorted.
“I think Su Ming can be with me.”
Opham also joined the Scramble.
Mia looked at the many teachers arguing endlessly and was instantly dumbfounded.
She felt incredibly frustrated, thinking it was truly too much. As soon as she was about to leave, they wanted to break up her class and divide her students.
For a moment, Mia felt as if her hard-grown cabbages were about to be picked by others.
The more she thought about it, the more annoyed she became.
“Teacher? Teacher, what’s wrong?”
Rhine and the others asked, puzzled, seeing that Mia hadn’t spoken for a long time.
Mia instantly snapped back to reality, slammed her hand on the table, stood up, and angrily cursed.
“Bastards!”
Su Ming and the others were instantly dumbfounded, looking at Teacher Mia in confusion.
Mia took a deep breath, then drained the wine in her glass, and said to all her students.
“I’m going to ask you something: do you want me to continue teaching you?”
“Of course, we do, but aren’t you going back to the military?”
Su Ming looked at Mia in confusion.
“That’s right!”
Rhine and the others were also bewildered.
“I have a way to keep the class together, and I can continue teaching you.”
Mia said to Su Ming and the others.
“What way?”
Everyone immediately asked with great joy.
“Apply to the school for a group promotion exam, and the entire class will be promoted to the second year!”
Mia said decisively.
“If we get promoted to the second year, can you stay, Teacher?”
Elu and the others asked, very puzzled.
“That’s right. The second year basically has no courses; it’s more about off-campus practical experience. I just need to come back for a period each year and finish your courses. If I really can’t spare the time, it’s also simple: I’ll just bring you to my side for classes.”
Mia said fiercely.
She had thought about it: how could her hard-grown cabbages be given away to others? If push came to shove, she would just take these guys to the Abyss of Fallen for classes.
“That’s great, we’ll get promoted!”
Rhine and the others shouted excitedly.
Su Ming also showed a happy smile. He hadn’t expected this method; it was truly a pleasant surprise.
At this moment, Mia said to everyone.
“Are you sure you won’t regret it?”
“No regrets.”
Su Ming led the reply.
“Good! Everyone, let’s finish this glass of wine together. Gather at 8 AM tomorrow morning; I’ll take you to apply for the group promotion exam.”
Mia raised her glass and said to everyone.
“Cheers!”
Su Ming and the others all picked up their glasses and responded in unison.
The next morning.
Su Ming and the others woke up early and lined up downstairs in the dormitory building. They were all very excited.
Not long after, they saw Mia walking from a distance.
“Good morning, Teacher!”
Su Ming and the others shouted in unison when Mia reached them.
“Alright, follow me!”
Mia led the group towards the academy’s administration building.
Soon after, Su Ming and the others all arrived at the door of Vice Principal Fleck’s office.
“Wait here.”
After instructing them, Mia pushed open the office door and walked in alone.
Vice Principal Fleck saw Mia enter and, uncharacteristically, greeted her kindly.
“You’re here.”
“Yes, Vice Principal Fleck.”
Mia said with a smile.
“I heard you’re going back to the military. When are you leaving?”
Vice Principal Fleck asked kindly.
“No hurry, the troops there haven’t assembled yet, so there’s still some time.”
“Oh, then you’re here to handle the handover procedures?”
“No, I’m not planning to resign!”
“Huh? Then what are you here for?”
“I’m here to apply for a group promotion exam!”
Mia directly stated her purpose.
Vice Principal Fleck’s face instantly turned green when he heard Mia’s words. He slammed his hand on the desk and said angrily.
“Nonsense!”
“How is it nonsense? Is there a problem?”
“That’s right, the school allows students to apply for promotion exams three months after the start of the semester. But that’s for a very few excellent students. No one applies for a group promotion exam. Do you know how difficult and dangerous this exam is?”
“I know.”
“Don’t cause trouble for me. Your students can clearly study for a longer period in the first year, improve their strength, and then take the promotion exam. If you mess this up, and they fail, they will all have to repeat a year and can only apply for the exam again next year.”
Fleck was almost driven crazy by Mia. He was truly exasperated with her; she was about to leave, and she was still causing trouble for him.
“I’m not causing trouble. They all agreed. If you don’t believe me, go out and ask them.”
“Are you sure you want to do this? You should know that since the school was founded, no one has ever applied for a group promotion so early.”
“Confirmed!”
“Alright, if you really want to apply for a group promotion, I won’t stop you! However, let me make this clear: during the promotion exam mission, you are not allowed to interfere or have contact with the students. They must complete it independently, otherwise, it will be deemed a failure.”
“Alright!”
Mia agreed without hesitation.
