Twenty minutes later,
Chen Shu arrived at the school gate.
Huh? Is it the start of the semester today?
The school gate was crowded, with parents and students gathered.
Chen Shu immediately spotted a man at the gate, wearing black-rimmed glasses, looking somewhat refined,
but his face was extremely somber, as if brewing a storm.
It was Shen Wushuang, who was waiting for him.
Can't see me, can't see me.
Chen Shu closed his eyes, clasped his hands together, and prayed, wanting to hide among the crowd.
But his ruffian aura was too strong, like a beacon in the night.
Taishang Laojun, hurry as the law commands, whoever sees me is an idiot!
Shen Wushuang came up behind him, his mouth twitching.
You're clearly cursing me!
*Slap!*
He directly patted Chen Shu's shoulder with his right hand.
Chen Shu was startled and slowly turned his head, indeed seeing Shen Wushuang.
He forced a stiff smile and said, "Happy New Year, Teacher Shen!"
"Come with me to the school's back mountain!"
Chen Shu's eyes widened. This was it, he was going to be buried!
A grave at the start of the semester, and the student disappears during class!
"Teacher, give me a chance!"
His expression was aggrieved as he spoke:
"I wanted to come to school much earlier, but I was delayed by some matters!"
Shen Wushuang raised an eyebrow and said, "What happened? Busy building nuclear bombs at home?"
Chen Shu was speechless. What did he mean by building nuclear bombs?
"I am not a nuclear bomb producer, I am just a transporter."
"Stop messing around, what were you doing?"
Chen Shu's eyes darted around, and he said:
"Haven't new spatial rifts appeared recently? The Imperial Dragon Guard was short-handed, so I had to help!"
"You?"
Shen Wushuang looked skeptical, saying, "What can a level nine Beast Tamer do?"
Chen Shu explained, "Don't I have other methods?"
"Really?"
"Of course it's true, otherwise I would have returned to school long ago. Teacher Shen, I think about school every day. If I don't come to school for a day, it feels like a dinosaur is crashing into me!"
Shen Wushuang's mouth twitched. If I hadn't called you personally, you probably would have missed the college entrance examination.
Chen Shu said, "It's cultural knowledge in February now, right? You know my level!"
Shen Wushuang reprimanded, "Get back! If you're not first place in February, bring a shovel to the school's back mountain yourself!"
"Alright!"
Chen Shu happily trotted towards the classroom.
"Students, it is now the end of February. I am very satisfied with your grades. As expected, you have surpassed your teachers!"
The cultural subject teacher had a smile on his face.
"As the elites of the school, it's natural to excel in cultural subjects."
"Even compared to geniuses in big cities, the gap is not large, unless it's certain academic gods aiming for full marks."
"Tomorrow is our cultural exam, the difficulty is equivalent to the college entrance examination, which to a certain extent signifies your college entrance examination level. Everyone must give it their all!"
As the teacher was speaking, someone suddenly arrived at the door.
"Report!"
The teacher turned around, a look of confusion on his face: "This student, who are you looking for?"
Chen Shu's mouth twitched. No wonder no one notified me, it turns out the teacher didn't even know someone was missing from the class!
"Teacher, I am a student in this class!"
"A student? A new transfer student?"
"Uh, I'm the class monitor."
Chen Shu and the teacher had a deep gaze, both speechless for a long time.
"Are you kidding me?"
"It's almost a month into the semester, and as the class monitor, you're only arriving now?"
After a pause, the teacher asked again, "Are you really the class monitor?"
"Liu Laoshi, he's a student in our class, he was delayed by some matters,"
Shen Wushuang arrived at the door and explained.
"Then come in!"
Teacher Liu frowned, his eyes showing displeasure, and said:
"Even as the class monitor, you must prioritize your studies. Cultural subjects are not as simple as you think!"
Chen Shu nodded and returned to his seat.
As soon as he entered the classroom, the atmosphere inside changed slightly.
The previously relaxed atmosphere became much more oppressive.
Even after a month, the oppressive aura of the ruthless bandit remained.
Teacher Liu said, "Alright! Let's review again today! Everyone take out your books!"
He held a biology textbook, walking around as he began to lecture.
When he came to Chen Shu's desk, he was stunned.
He saw Chen Shu opening his backpack and rummaging through something.
Urea bags, barbecue grill, seasonings, wrenches, electric drills...
"What on earth are you doing?!"
Teacher Liu was taken aback and fell into deep silence.
He had been teaching for decades and had never encountered such a student. His schoolbag contained no books, but a pile of inexplicable items.
Chen Shu was also a bit confused. I don't think I actually packed any books.
"Where are my books?!"
He rummaged through his backpack, needing to find a book to ease the awkward atmosphere!
The entire class looked at him simultaneously, but there was no surprise in their eyes.
It would be truly outrageous if Chen Shu could find a book!
"Chen Pi, last time you were barbecuing, you forgot to bring charcoal."
Xie Sunan came up to him and whispered a reminder.
Chen Shu's eyes widened. "Holy cow, no way?"
"Sigh..."
The teacher sighed deeply and turned to leave.
He couldn't understand why a special training class would have such hidden issues. This was clearly a waste of teaching resources!
Chen Shu yawned. Since there was nothing else, he could rest.
In the evening, the three of them gathered again and returned to the dormitory.
"Not bad, Old Xie, you've become a level eight Beast Tamer!"
Chen Shu immediately noticed Xie Sunan's Beast Tamer level.
Xie Sunan sighed, "I can't compare to you two rich guys. My level was gained through hard training!"
As Xu Xingxing opened the dormitory door, chirping sounds immediately came from inside.
"Holy cow, what's going on?"
Chen Shu was bewildered. He saw a large cage in the dormitory, containing at least a hundred birds.
"I should be asking you! What are you doing sending me a bunch of birds?"
Xu Xingxing said, "And why is my Thunder Bird so inflated now?"
In just one day, the mutated Thunder Bird had changed its temperament drastically, looking down on everyone as if it were invincible.
"Uh, isn't this to build up its confidence?"
"Being able to escape from the pursuit of multiple Silver Lords with ease, any contracted spirit would have its confidence boosted, right?"
"Get real!"
Xu Xingxing sighed and said, "What should we do with these birds?"
"These are for your Thunder Bird!"
"Just to watch it wiggle its butt? It got bored after one day and now only wants to wiggle in front of powerful creatures!"
"Then let's roast them!"
Chen Shu shrugged and licked his lips.
Since the three of them hadn't eaten, they all swallowed upon hearing this.
"Makes sense!"
Saying that, the three of them set up a barbecue grill in the dormitory.
The three reunited and talked about their winter break experiences.
Xiao Xing's winter break was extremely dull, he had been studying and cultivating, and was now just one step away from becoming a level nine Beast Tamer.
Xie Sunan had earned a considerable amount of Beast Taming resources.
Due to the appearance of fierce beasts, the tasks from the Beast Tamer Association had increased.
As for Chen Shu, he began to brag about his legendary experiences.
"Your Slime battled a Silver Lord for eight hundred rounds?!"
"You fought a King-level fierce beast?!"
The two of them chuckled dryly. You're really bragging without any basis, just making things up as you go.
