Shrek Academy.
Flender took three deep drags from his old pipe; his head was aching now.
The neighboring academy was causing trouble every day, either beating his students or stealing his students.
"Idiots, a bunch of idiots!"
"You're so reckless in your actions! Who told you to bully Zhu Zhuqing? Who came up with that terrible idea?!"
"It was Fatty!"
"Ma Hongjun, you good-for-nothing who can't accomplish anything but ruin everything, it's just like you."
"The academy is already short on people. We've recruited three new students, making a total of six Spirit Masters. If we find one more support type, that should be enough.
Now, a agility-attack system Spirit Master has run off again. Tell me, are you still going to participate in this year's Spirit Master Elite Tournament?"
"It's Boss Dai who wanted to keep his fiancée, which is reasonable, right? Moreover, isn't our motto 'not daring to cause trouble is mediocrity'? If you don't even dare to act on your own fiancée, wouldn't that be utterly cowardly…" Ma Hongjun retorted stubbornly.
"Not daring to cause trouble is mediocrity, what's the next line? Cause trouble if you can handle it, but if you can't, just stay put! You're always causing me trouble!"
"Dean, I started this matter. Before the Spirit Master Tournament begins, if the academy hasn't recruited anyone satisfactory, I will find an agility-attack system Spirit Master to substitute."
At this moment, Dai Mubai spoke. "I only have one request: the teacher from Heart of Fire Academy is too arrogant. Dean, please go beat him up for me to let off some steam. I'm willing to donate two thousand gold coins to the academy to improve its environment."
Hearing two thousand gold coins, Flender's eyes lit up, and he was somewhat tempted.
However, he then remembered the day Xin rushed into Shrek Academy and, with a Heart of Fire, beat Zhao Wuji until he was crawling on the ground. Hiss…
He swallowed hard: "Mubai, it's not that I'm lecturing you, but you need to rein in your temper. Heart of Fire Academy is our neighbor, and everyone should be friendly. That Teacher Xin is a teacher after all, and you should show him some respect. Don't always talk about fighting and killing; it's bad to hurt relations."
"However, you were the one who made her leave, so you still have to fill the recruitment slot."
"What? Not only will you not stand up for me, but you also want me to recruit people???"
"This is truly like an old grandma wiping her butt—an eye-opener! When did the Dean become so friendly? Not even making money?"
Oscar was greatly enlightened. He knew that whenever they encountered trouble in Soto City before, Flender would be even more excited than them, eager to extort a huge sum of money.
Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai's eyes went dark. He understood; Flender was chickening out, not wanting to get involved, telling him to endure it, and also freeloading his labor.
"Third Brother, what is the Spirit Master Tournament?" Xiao Wu pouted beside him and asked Tang San.
"I heard Teacher mention it. The Spirit Master Tournament the Dean is talking about should be the All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament. The Elite Spirit Master Tournament is initiated and hosted by the Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empires' imperial families, with Spirit Hall as a co-organizer. It's the largest Spirit tournament in the Spirit Master's world, not only offering generous rewards but also representing the glory of a Spirit Master."
Tang San thought for a moment, understood something, and explained to Xiao Wu: "Shrek only recruits monsters, students with good talent. I think the academy also wants to form a team that can shine in the Spirit Master Tournament. This is probably one of the reasons Teacher wants us to study at Shrek."
"Little San is very smart, and what he said is correct. Our Shrek must participate in this Spirit Master Tournament, and we must win the championship!"
"So, from now on, all you little rascals, Cultivate well and improve your strength. Coincidentally, Little Ao's spirit power is about to reach level thirty. In a while, you'll go to Star Dou Great Forest together to practice. Don't just think about men's affairs every day and occasionally go provoke trouble at Heart of Fire Academy."
"You can't even beat them, isn't that shameful? When you have the strength to defeat those three students from Heart of Fire Academy, that will be the time for our Shrek to assert its power. What can't we make Heart of Fire Academy do then?" Flender said indifferently.
These brats, I can't lead them!
Do you think I don't want to teach that kid Xin a lesson?
He wears that broken mask every day, pretending to be a master.
Damn it, I can't beat him.
You don't even know how terrifying his Blazing Great Sword is.
Even Zhao Wuji's terrifying defense was beaten until he was crawling on the ground…
