Senior Su?
Teacher Su?!!!
Zhao Meng looked up at Su Mu in a daze, and Xiao Yan glanced at Su Mu, then at Zhao Meng, equally shocked.
"Alright, thank you, Teacher Lin, for the reminder."
Since becoming a counselor, Su Mu had never worn a mentor robe. Recently, his mind was entirely occupied with the Breathing Technique, and he was in cultivation not long ago.
"Zhao Meng, I'll explain later…"
"No, it's nothing, Senior Su... Teacher." Zhao Meng's tone noticeably became dejected.
"See you at the club activity tonight."
See you at the club activity?
After a slight pause, Zhao Meng's face visibly revealed a smile. Her greatest fear was unfounded; Senior Su was still the same Senior Su.
Some are happy, some are worried.
On the stage, Li Xue, who had just told Su Mu to spin the Wheel, immediately changed her expression. Earlier, Zhao Meng kept calling him Senior Su, so she thought Su Mu was just an ordinary student earning credits.
Unexpectedly, she hit a hard wall; turns out he's a university teacher, meaning at least a Third Level Martial Artist.
Disrespecting a teacher, this accusation can be big or small.
Damn Zhao Meng, she must have set her up on purpose!
"Teacher Su, just now, I was wrong, please forgive me, accept my apology." Li Xue ran down from the stage, bowing deeply to Su Mu.
A complete 180-degree attitude change, from arrogance to respect, was amusing.
"Ignorance is not a crime, and you shouldn't be apologizing to me."
Su Mu's tone was calm. Hearing the first half, Li Xue felt a sense of joy, not expecting Teacher Su to be so good-tempered. She thought to herself that she'd make Zhao Meng and Xiao Yan pay when she got back.
But the latter half made Li Xue shudder all over, almost unbelieving her ears, wondering if she heard wrong.
This statement delighted Zhao Meng and Xiao Yan, while others covertly applauded; they had long been displeased with Li Xue!
"Xiao Yan... Zhao Meng, I'm sorry." Li Xue's face turned beet red, her voice as small as a mosquito's.
At this moment, students in other meeting rooms also looked over, almost ready to cheer, and in those gazes, Li Xue wished she could find a hole to crawl into.
"Teacher Su, well done!" Finally, someone couldn't hold back and shouted.
Other students braved up to echo the sentiment.
"Teacher Su, so domineering!"
Amid the cheers, Li Xue ran out of the meeting room in tears.
Teacher Lin's brows relaxed, initially thinking Teacher Su was being overbearing, but it turned out he was wrong, and he couldn't help but regard Su Mu with higher esteem.
Such a method was unimaginable for someone who was once a security guard.
"No wonder Elder Wang thinks highly of him; indeed, he has exceptional qualities."
Seeing Su Mu turn and leave the meeting room, Xiao Yan gave Zhao Meng a thumbs-up, "Your Senior Su is so domineering, so handsome that I'm starting to like him, what do I do?"
"Then go pursue him?" Zhao Meng blurted out.
"Huh?!" Xiao Yan was taken aback, realizing there wasn't that kind of relationship between the two.
A small episode, Su Mu returned to the meeting room in his mentor robe.
Today's emergency meeting mainly had three important items.
One: The recruitment of school mentors was too overwhelming, with numerous applicants, so the registration period will be extended until next month, and interviews postponed to three months later.
Two: According to the Governor of South China's school reform plan, Shenjiang Martial Arts University will soon open admissions, allowing for a batch of special student quotas. Currently, each teacher has one special student quota, allowing them to directly enroll for a year without exams. After a year, the school will conduct an evaluation; those who fail will be expelled.
Three: Recently, there have been changes in the Alien Race Battlefield in the South China Region, including the micro Alien Race Battlefield guarded by the school. Alien races and fierce beasts have become more active, and the annual assessment for the Shenjiang Martial Arts University mentors is on schedule, requiring at least three entries into the Alien Race Battlefield each year, with a stay of no less than a day each time.
In addition, Practical Combat Academy mentors have an extra assessment requirement: they must kill at least three aliens or hunt fierce beasts annually.
Su Mu believed the most crucial point was naturally the third. Once things change in the Alien Race Battlefield, the world would no longer be peaceful.
Moreover, if a mentor's annual assessment doesn't pass, their position would be revoked, and only half a year remains this year.
"After tonight, I'll see what new ability I can draw and then make plans."
Upon returning to the dormitory, outside the courtyard was a person pacing back and forth with a worried look.
"Su, uh... Teacher Su!" Old Zhao saw Su Mu appear, a smile forced onto his face.
"Old Zhao, you're here, come in quickly."
The person was Old Zhao from the Logistics Department, the one who had earlier provided Su Mu with Qi Blood Supplements in advance.
Su Mu brought Old Zhao inside, who seemed restless, like he had something to say but hesitated.
"Old Zhao, is there something you want to talk about?"
"Uh, I, I..." Old Zhao stammered, then organized his words, "Teacher Su, my granddaughter is taking the martial arts exam this year, but her Qi and Blood probably won't get her into any university. I heard there's some special student quota…"
Towards the end, Old Zhao's voice grew softer. Recently, special student quota news circulated in the school, and rumors suggested a price as high as two thousand Spirit Stones per slot.
Such a price was beyond Old Zhao's means, so he thickened his face to find Su Mu today, hoping Su Mu, for the sake of past favors, would accept fewer Spirit Stones.
But he had no assurance; he had once mocked Su Mu a lot, and now that Su Mu was a counselor, things were different. Would he still think of him favorably?
"Yes, there is such a thing. I have one slot, Old Zhao, send me your granddaughter's information later, and I'll help you apply."
Old Zhao was stunned on the spot, with an incredulous look. Su Mu agreed just like that?
"Teacher Su, are you serious? You won't even take Spirit Stones?"
"Old Zhao, how could you say that? I should thank you for the Qi Blood Supplements you gave me earlier. A special student slot doesn't need Spirit Stones."
"This, this isn't right, but I'm really grateful to you, Teacher Su."
Afterward, Old Zhao extended his gratitude several times, his attitude very respectful, making Su Mu somewhat emotional, knowing that their relationship could never return to how it was.
Even though his attitude towards Old Zhao hasn't changed and remains as before.
After midnight.
In the basement cultivation room, Su Mu opened his eyes and took a deep breath before opening a sack full of glittering Spirit Stones, totaling precisely ten thousand and one.
Su Mu wanted to try his luck.
"I wonder what ability I'll draw this time?"
"It's truly exciting!"
The Spirit Stones radiated a glow, gathering in the void before him. As the wheel spun, a purple light flashed, dazzlingly illuminating the entire basement.
[Quality: Purple]
[Superpower: Basic Talent Fruit (Special Category), after consumption, an unknown talent will awaken!]
[PS: Talent probability: 95% Basic Talent, 4% Intermediate Talent, 1% Advanced Talent, 0% Top Talent.]
The description was simple and clear.
A Talent Fruit, awakening talent?!
There actually exists such a heaven-defying item.
Su Mu's eyes lit up, understanding that the talent awakened wouldn't have a one-month limitation; this would be a permanent improvement!
