Chapter 103: History (For Alliance Master Dongyou Lingyu – Third Update)

The statue depicted a handsome young man. The sculptor’s skill was exceptional, not only capturing his facial features lifelike but also conveying his extraordinary demeanor.

Su Ming and the others gazed at the three colossal statues, and everyone tacitly refrained from asking questions.

This was because it touched upon the Royal Court Academy’s dark history, which anyone with a slight understanding of the Royal Court Academy would know.

These three statues were of the Royal Court Academy’s founding Headmasters. However, due to the great schism that followed, two of these Headmasters left, taking a large number of teachers with them to establish new Royal Court Academies in the Dark Star Empire and the Heavenly Revelation Theocracy. Consequently, those two statues were smashed.

Of course, in addition to these three central statues, the plaza was also surrounded by numerous lifelike smaller statues and a standing stone wall.

At this moment, the spacious plaza was bustling with a large number of students and teachers gathered there.

Teachers led their classes to the front of the three statues, stepping onto the tiered iron frame, neatly arranging themselves for a photo.

A male teacher with long hair and a very artistic flair, holding a camera, called out.

“Sixth student from the left in the third row, please switch places with the student in front. Don’t block the face.”

“Excellent, just like that!”

“Maintain your expressions!”

Click!

As the flash lit up, the photography teacher waved his hand with great satisfaction.

“Next class!”

“Daniels, we’re here!”

Mia, tipsy, walked forward, shouting cheerfully.

Instantly, all the teachers and students in the plaza looked towards Mia, Su Ming, and the others.

Daniels glanced at Mia, who had cut in line, and sighed helplessly. To prevent her from acting out in her drunken state, he could only wave his hand and say,

“Come on, come on.”

Seeing Daniels agree, Mia happily waved to Su Ming.

“Su Ming, come over!”

Su Ming reluctantly walked to Mia’s front.

“Teacher?”

“You arrange them on the tiered iron frame and line them up!”

Mia unceremoniously ordered Su Ming around.

Su Ming could only step forward and arrange for his classmates to start lining up.

A few minutes later, all the students in the class were lined up.

Su Ming then walked to Mia and reported.

“It’s done, Teacher.”

“Well done.”

Mia replied with a cheerful laugh.

As Su Ming turned to go back to the iron frame to line up, Mia suddenly reached out and hooked his neck, her entire body intimately pressing against him.

Su Ming instantly felt a soft touch and a faint scent of plumeria, and for a moment, he was a little dazed.

Mia, meanwhile, happily hooked Su Ming’s neck, made a V-sign towards Daniel, the photography teacher’s, camera, and shouted,

“Hurry and shoot, yeah!”

Click!

Daniel immediately pressed the shutter, and the photo was completely frozen at that moment.

“Done!”

Daniel said to Mia and the others.

“Alright, it’s over!”

Mia, still hooked around Su Ming’s neck, happily said to everyone.

“Teacher, can you let go now?”

Su Ming asked with a helpless expression.

“Haha, Teacher just drank too much, my legs are a bit unsteady.”

Mia let go, speaking without any sense of boundaries.

“Oh! Teacher, why is the first thing we do when we report to school changing into uniforms and taking photos? What’s the point of this? Isn’t it usually done at graduation?”

Su Ming sighed, then asked curiously.

When Rhine and the others heard Su Ming’s question, they also looked at Mia, as they didn’t quite understand either.

“Because, these are your memorial photos!”

Mia blurted out without thinking.

Su Ming and the others were dumbfounded when they heard Mia’s words, and said in disbelief,

“Memorial photos?”

“That’s right! Alright, don’t worry about it, it’s not a big deal!”

Mia said with a cheerful laugh.

Hearing this, Su Ming was speechless. What did she mean, “not a big deal”? Was a memorial photo not a big deal?

However, they could only reluctantly accept reality. After all, with this teacher, she definitely wouldn’t explain in detail, so they could only ask,

“Then, Teacher, where do we go next?”

“What do you mean, ‘where to go’? The photos are done, I’m off work! You can go do whatever you want.”

Mia said with a cheerful laugh.

“No, Teacher, then who will continue to show us around?”

Angie and the others asked, somewhat at a loss. In other classes, after taking photos, the teachers would continue to lead the students on a tour and provide introductions.

“The class monitor will!”

Mia blurted out directly.

“Class monitor? Who? Where did we get a class monitor?”

Rhine asked, his face dark.

The other classmates were also confused. When did their class have a class monitor? Could the teacher be drunk and confused?

“Him!”

Mia directly pointed at Su Ming.

“Me?”

Su Ming was also surprised, his expression exceptionally vivid.

“That’s right, you are the class monitor. It’s all up to you!”

Mia reached out and patted Su Ming heavily on the shoulder, saying very casually.

Su Ming was truly speechless. From beginning to end, when did he ever say he wanted to be the class monitor? He had only helped her take attendance.

“Teacher, you’re being too casual. How about we pick someone else?”

“It’s decided. It’s up to you. I’m leaving.”

Mia completely ignored what Su Ming said and swayed away.

Only Su Ming was left standing there in disarray. He was truly speechless. He had originally thought Teacher Tang Yan was unreliable enough.

As a result, coming to the Royal Court Academy, he ended up with an even more unreliable teacher!

At this moment, Rhine and the others looked at Su Ming. A million alpacas ran through Su Ming’s mind. This was also his first time attending the Royal Court Academy, and he didn’t understand anything, so he couldn’t lead the team at all.

However, Su Ming quickly adjusted his emotions. He turned his head and looked around.

At this moment, he saw the students of Mecha Class 3 and a burly teacher with a distinct facial contour, resolute expression, and sharp eyes, finishing their photo.

He then calmly said to everyone,

“Everyone, follow me!”

“Okay!”

Rhine and the others nodded in response.

Although Su Ming’s class was a regular class, the students admitted to the Royal Court Academy were basically all prodigies, and their quality was extremely high.

Therefore, even though Su Ming was just randomly appointed by Mia, no one stood up to object or refuse to cooperate.

Su Ming led his classmates, following behind Mecha Class 3.

At this time, the burly teacher said in a deep voice to his students,

“Do you know why we take photos of all of you on the first day of school?”

“No, Teacher Ofam.”

“This photo isn’t taken casually; it has a special meaning. All your seniors also took photos when they enrolled. When you sacrifice yourselves in the future, you will be marked on the photo. When the entire class has sacrificed themselves, then congratulations, you will be on the Academy’s Wall of Honor. I will now take you to see the Wall of Honor.”

Opham led the students to the stone wall standing next to the plaza, where sheets of yellowed photos were pasted.
