Absolute Great Teacher-Chapter 1309 - Dark Great Teacher

Chapter 1309 Dark Great Teacher

“I’m willing!”

Sun Mo nodded. After checking out the place earlier on, he already understood how this dark famous school operated. It was basically the same as how schools in the modern world operated.

As long as it was something the teachers knew, they’d definitely teach it to the students and not keep the knowledge to themselves. This reply was fitting to the Constellation Academy’s teaching ideologies. However, Sun Mo’s reply was so fast without any hesitation that they found it a little hard to believe.

After all, this was an era where a shop selling beancurd or shaobing[1] would only pass down their secret recipes to the sons and not the daughters.

“Sun Mo, you don’t have to feel conflicted. If you’re unwilling, we won’t force you!”

The major character in the middle reiterated, “We respect every great teacher’s decision.”

“No matter how precious the knowledge is, if it isn’t passed down and turned into results, how is it different from trash?”

Sun Mo asked, “Isn’t the meaning of our existence to teach and nurture people?”

Buzz!

Golden light spots erupted, splattering toward the surroundings. “Priceless Advice?”

The interviewers were stunned. Was this Sun Mo magnanimous or foolish?

When everyone had first started working, they could not accept the headmaster’s ideology either. It was only after several years that they changed their minds.

Sun Mo was so young, but he already had such an awareness?

The eruption of such Priceless Advice meant that Sun Mo was sincere.

“I feel that there’s no need to ask other questions.”

The middle-aged female great teacher laughed and expressed her stand, “Great Teacher Sun, congratulations on joining the Constellation Academy!”

The other interviewers turned to look toward the middle-aged man who was seated on the extreme right.

It was because he was the school’s headmaster and possessed the greatest authority.

“Sun Mo, if one day, the students who have learned your knowledge want to go to war against the people from the Nine Provinces, what will you do?”

The Constellation Academy’s headmaster asked.

“Stop the war!” Sun Mo frowned. “Moreover, isn’t it too far off to be talking about such a topic? I think the important thing now is for students to learn a skill that can improve their lives.

“Moreover, don’t you think that the productivity of the Darkness Continent is too low? With all due respect, even after another 300 years, you won’t have any chance of winning against the people from the Nine Provinces.”

The interviewers nodded.

To be honest, when they were exiled, they really hated those sanctimonious fellows from the Saint Gate. However, after seeing the difficult lives of the Darkness Continent’s aboriginals, they realized that the priority was to let everyone lead a good life. War?

It’d just be seeking their own demise.

“Congratulations on joining the Constellation Academy! Let us achieve glory together!”

The headmaster stood up. “Hold on!” Sun Mo called out to stop him. “Let me ask you first, are you a belligerent person?”

“I just hope that everyone will become equals and that everyone can live according to their wishes without being restrained by others.” The principal said bluntly, “But if anyone wants to stand above me, they will definitely incur my wrath.”

“An idealist, huh?”Sun Mo chuckled.

“I know it’s hard, but if I don’t do it, there’ll never be any chance.” The headmaster sized up Sun Mo and asked another question, “What do you think of saints?”

“People who guide the way! Lighthouses! Wise people!”

Sun Mo was still looking forward to becoming a saint. “In my opinion, a saint is just someone who knows more. Their mission is to pass on knowledge and experience. They shouldn’t be deified.”

The headmaster continued to ask, “What do you think about me then?”

“You lack reverence and respect in your heart!”

Sun Mo shrugged. The interviewers were shocked. (You really dare to speak your mind.) However, this was a school with a free style, and even students had the right to express their thoughts.

The teachers must not punish the students just because they had different stands.

Hearing Sun Mo’s opinion, the headmaster was stunned and then laughed involuntarily.

(If I respected the saints’ status, I wouldn’t have run to the Darkness Continent.)

With that, the interview ended. Sun Mo had passed and officially became a teacher in the Constellation Academy.

On the other hand, Lu Guojing and Zhang Xiang paid the tuition fees and were prepared to learn some skills here. As for Li Luoran, she became an intern teacher and was going to study under a senior for a period. She currently did not have the right to teach.

On Monday morning, Sun Mo’s first spirit runes class started.

There were 50 or so students in this lecture theater that could accommodate 100 people. It was considered alright for a new teacher. The reason these students came for his class was because they wanted to see what the person who had scored full marks was like.

“He’s so young!”

“Very handsome!”

“I want to give birth to his children!”

The female students were chattering away.

Compared to the people of the Nine Provinces, these dark-skinned aboriginals were much more open-minded. It couldn’t be helped. Their living environment was too bad, and their average lifespan was only around 50 to 60 years. If they weren’t cultivators, they would live even shorter lives. Therefore, everyone had the mentality of enjoying themselves while they could.

“My spirit runes classes will be divided into two types. Firstly, we’ll be starting from the basics. After you’ve learned the basics, you can become a spirit rune grandmaster.”

After Sun Mo stood on the rostrum, he didn’t give a self-introduction and went straight into the topic. “The second part is to teach you guys how to draw some practical spirit runes. You don’t have to understand the principles behind how these spirit runes work. You just need to draw them out as is.”

Sun Mo’s unique start attracted everyone’s attention.

“I’ll give a demonstration!”

Sun Mo then took out a piece of rune paper. After putting it up on the blackboard, he randomly pointed at a student. “Spirit rune is a type of language that uses its unique way to express its understanding of this world. If you understand the study of spirit runes, what would you like to use it for?”

“To fly!”

The student who was called was Kong Xiang. He said an absurd wish according to the people here.

“What crap are you thinking about?”

Another student immediately lashed out at him.

“Everyone, don’t mock him. It’s because spirit runes can make the impossible possible!” After saying that, Sun Mo started to draw the Levitation Spirit Rune on the rune paper.

“What is he trying to do? From the looks of it, he’s really planning to draw a spirit rune that can allow one to fly?”

“Isn’t that bullshit? The possibility of my grandmother climbing out from her grave is higher than being able to fly!”

“But the way he draws with the brush is so cool! I really want to give birth to his children!” The students muttered to each other, but gradually, they stopped talking. This was because Sun Mo, who was drawing the spirit runes, gave off a serious, professional, and focused aura.

This was like a pianist performing with full concentration, making the listeners involuntarily develop a feeling of reverence.

This was respect for art, knowledge, and masters!

Suddenly!

Boom!

Spirit qi surged violently and gathered over. They then channeled into the rune paper. After that, Sun Mo landed on the ground, picked up the rune paper, and walked up to Kong Xiang. “Here, the way to activate it is to channel in spirit qi when concurrently tearing it!”

“Oh!”

Kong Xiang did as Sun Mo instructed. The next second, he felt his body becoming lighter. Like a hydrogen balloon, he floated up shakily.

Sssss!

“What the?”

“F*ck!”

The entire classroom was filled with all sorts of harsh words and curses. Many pairs of stunned eyes looked like a toad’s protruding eyes.

(To think that flying is really possible?)

(I must be blind!)

(Hmm?)

Kong Xiang was also shocked. Before he could react, his head hit the ceiling with a bang. This made him panic and his limbs started to move crazily.

Even so, he didn’t fall.

“Did everyone see that? This is the effect of spirit runes!”

Sun Mo smiled.

Showing an actual example was the best way to convince people.

The Levitation Spirit Rune was a lot simpler than the Skyward Spirit Rune. It let the weight of objects lighten temporarily. Sun Mo had invented this to save time and effort when workers moved large-scaled items.

“Teacher, I want to learn this!”

The students looked agitated.

“Don’t be in a rush! There’s another type!”

Sun Mo took out a spirit rune that he had drawn beforehand and walked to the window. “Everyone, come over and take a look!”

Swoosh!

Everyone squeezed over to the window.

When Sun Mo ripped open the spirit pattern, a fireball the size of a coconut formed in three seconds and shot out, hitting the field.

Boom!

After a shower of sparks splattered, a half-meter deep pit was left. “How powerful!”

The students gasped.

“If you guys learn the crash course for spirit runes, you’ll be relying on memorizing them and don’t have to understand the principles behind them. Of course, it’d also mean that you won’t have any prospects in the future.”

Sun Mo explained.

“Teacher, how long will it take before we can create a flying spirit rune?” Someone asked.

“If you have talent in this area, it’ll take around 20 years!”

Sun Mo dropped a despairing number, so everyone chose the crash course. After all, everyone came from poor families, and they were not allowed to only study and not work.

Bang! Kong Xiang fell to the ground. He did not cry out in pain but said firmly, “Teacher, I’ll learn the first method!”

Sun Mo’s initial lecture went viral!

That night, he became the topic in all the dormitories. After all, being able to fly was an achievement that gathered the most attention.

In the following week, the number of people who came to attend Sun Mo’s classes continued to be overwhelming. Hence, it left the school with no choice but to let him teach in a big lecture theater that could accommodate 300 people. Sun Mo had initially planned on teaching two types of spirit runes classes: a crash course in the morning and proper study of spirit runes in the afternoon. However, the latter had high requirements for one’s talent and determination.

In the beginning, some people had come for the class, but three days later, only a couple of people stayed.

Sun Mo sighed. He had no choice but to stop this class and change to teaching botany. “Teacher Sun knows this too?”

Hearing that Sun Mo had changed to a different subject, many teachers came in addition to the students.

“Don’t think that herbology is more important than botany!”

From the start, Sun Mo planned on correcting a misunderstanding that everyone had. “Yes, herbology can be used to treat illness and save lives, and there are many plants which you don’t have any use for even if you know them. But I’m telling you that botany is the foundation for herbology.

“As long as you have ample understanding of plants’ attributes, you’ll be able to draw conclusions and find new medicinal herbs, edible plants, and other things!

“Nature is an ecosystem. Medicinal herbs don’t exist solely by themselves either.”

The reason Sun Mo said these things was to tell everyone that many plants in this world had undiscovered value. Only if people tried to understand them through a system would these values be uncovered.

Before the medicinal properties of the medicinal herbs were discovered, they were just ordinary plants. The headmaster listened quietly outside the lecture theater.

“We’ve picked up a treasure this time around!”

The middle-aged female great teacher looked very glad, wearing an expression as if she had picked up her neighbor’s treasure. “He’s really too outstanding. Just him alone can probably match up to half of our school’s great teachers group.” “Be more confident. Remove the ‘probably’.”

Someone interjected.

A month had passed and Sun Mo’s new life was very calm.

This was with the exception of starting another class on ferocious beasts to help students recognize those darkness beasts.

“I’m considered to have become a dark great teacher, right?”

Sun Mo thought in self-mockery. From the Saint Gate’s perspective, he was helping the enemy and nurturing live cinders for the opposing force.

“Teacher!”

Without any surprise, Li Luoran found Sun Mo at the top of the teaching building. She knew that Sun Mo recently liked to stay here and enter a daze.

However, after getting close, she seemed a little awkward. She kept both hands behind her back and had her head lowered, finding it embarrassing to speak up.

“What’s the matter?”

Sun Mo smiled. “You want to give me something?”

“Winter… Winter is coming soon. This is for

you!”

Li Luoran stuffed the hat she had knitted into Sun Mo’s arms, then turned around and ran.

The hat was knitted from white rabbit hair. It was made with good craftsmanship, and even Sun Mo’s name was thoughtfully embroidered on the inside.

Sun Mo smiled and put the hat on.

Li Luoran was hiding beside the metal door that led to the roof. When she stole a glance at this scene, she couldn’t help but smile and wave her small fist excitedly.

“Teacher Sun, how is life here compared to Jinling?”

The sudden voice made Sun Mo raise his eyebrows and pull out his wooden blade. “Lu Feng!”

Sun Mo looked to the east.

A middle-aged man jumped onto the roof and sat there with his legs crossed. “Hey, we meet again. But it seems like you want to beat me

up.”

“I want to kill you!” Sun Mo suppressed his anger. “Where’s Baiwu?”

“You should thank me. If I didn’t save Ying Baiwu, she would have been captured by An Zaiyi.”

Lu Feng explained. Sun Mo let out a cold snort.

“Sigh, ignorance is a bliss indeed!”

Lu Feng felt envious.

Sun Mo did not want to listen anymore, so he teleported right in front of Lu Feng, wanting to beat this guy up first.

Lu Feng had expected this and jumped off the roof.

Sun Mo was about to give chase when a loud and magnificent horn rang out above the entire school.

“Your disciple is back. Aren’t you going to welcome him?”

Lu Feng teased.

Sun Mo then looked in the direction of the school gate.

At this moment, many students were running out of the school. Even those who were in the middle of the class had stopped.

Because of this, Sun Mo gave up on finding trouble for Lu Feng and walked toward the school gate. After that, he stopped an old great teacher who was passing by and asked, “What’s with the horn signal?”

“An Explorer Group is back!” The old great teacher explained. The Constellation Academy had never given up on exploring the Darkness Continent. On every school term, some teachers would lead a group of students who were about to graduate to explore the Darkness Continent.

Firstly, it was to accumulate experience. Secondly, it was for them to obtain knowledge or resources.

Sun Mo then walked out of the school gates and stood by the side.

In less than 10 minutes, a group appeared.

The students on both sides immediately clenched their right fists and placed them over their hearts. This was a greeting to show their respect. The first to pass by was the Scout Group. They looked worn out from the trip and their clothes were covered in blood. Behind them were the injured and dead people.

No matter how bad the situation the Explorer Group faced, they would try their best to bring back the corpses of those who died.

The atmosphere was silent and solemn. The teachers and students on both sides lowered their heads to mourn in silence.

After these people passed by, it was time for the freight.

These were the takeaways from this operation.

There might be a lot, very little, or possibly even none. However, all the teachers and students offered their applause to praise them for their contributions.

Thereafter, the members of the Explorer Group entered the school. Due to Lu Feng’s words, Sun Mo kept his eyes wide open as he looked at those team members. As expected, when the end of the team came into sight, Sun Mo became agitated.

It was because there was a familiar yet unfamiliar figure there.
