Chapter 007: Teacher Xia Tian

Karl had already lifted his right leg, but he ultimately did not kick out. Instead, he forcefully hooked under Bisu's backside, lifting the guy back to his feet.

At this moment, Karl seemed to have regained some clarity and said, "That's because your tolerance for alcohol is poor. Look at me, I'm fine now. I've made up my mind; from now on, I will follow Brother Ji Dong closely, enjoying meat and fine wine with him."

Karl snorted and said, "You effeminate coward, do you think you can back out after taking advantage? Last time, you took the lead during the entrance exam and kicked me, ultimately stealing my first place in physical fitness. I haven't settled that score with you yet. Today, you let them beat you up for nothing, and you think it can just end like this?"

I understand. "Bisu hurriedly replied loudly, but inwardly he was filled with disdain; this guy in front of him was simply a larger version of Karl.

Although Ji Dong has two sets of school uniforms and two class schedules, he is wearing the uniform of the Fire Department today. The Fire Department uniform is red, while the Fire Department uniform is blue; there are no other differences. The back of the uniform is printed with the four large characters "Li Huo Academy," which looks somewhat silly. This uniform cannot be described as exquisite. However, according to Karl and Bisu, the tuition for one academic year here amounts to fifty gold coins. Even if one has the ability to be admitted, not everyone can afford it, and this does not even account for living expenses.

"Yes." Ji Dong and the other two responded simultaneously. They exchanged glances, clearly seeing the joy in each other's eyes. Not having to attend the tedious and monotonous opening ceremony was evidently not a bad thing. Bi Su and Carl cheered loudly, pulling Ji Dong as they ran towards the teaching building

Another teacher who walked onto the stage with Xia Tian was tall, only half a head shorter than her. A blue long dress perfectly accentuated her alluring figure, making her appear to be around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, though her expression was slightly aloof.

Bisu's mood changed rapidly; upon hearing Karl's question, he immediately became pleased and said: "Of course, to be precise, my Ding Fire accounts for eighty-five percent. If I were to describe it in two words, it would be 'genius.' Among this year's freshmen, my talent in the Ding Fire class should be the best."

"I can't be bothered to argue with you." Karl shot a glare at Bisu.

I swear, Karl, if you call me effeminate one more time, I will fight you

Listening to the two arguing, Ji couldn't help but laugh and said, "So what are you doing now?" Although he spoke these words, he was secretly astonished. According to Dean Yang Bingtian's description of the yin-yang ratio, these two before him were undoubtedly genius-level yin-yang sorcerers, almost certain to be able to condense the yin-yang crown

Bisu, unwilling to be outdone, said: "I am the same; from now on, we are brothers."

Ji Dong said naturally: "I came in through the back door; I am a work-study student. I just hope to try with my own strength. Is it absolutely impossible to cultivate into a Yin-Yang Master if one maintains a balance of Yin and Yang? All I need to do is put in thirty-two times the effort."

Ji Dong glanced at him and said lightly, "Don't involve me; I only just met you a second before he charged at me."

Karl and Bisu exchanged a glance, and at that moment, there was no longer any hostility in their eyes. Observing Ji Dong's somewhat desolate figure, the two of them almost simultaneously pursued after him

Bisu could not help but ask: "Jidong, are you truly the embodiment of yin and yang balance? However, with your physical attributes, how were you admitted to the academy?"

In the summer, the teacher ascended the podium wearing a red robe, which was no different from the one worn by Dean Yang Bingtian. However, his bulging muscles were not something that this robe could completely conceal. His imposing presence easily intimidated the group of generally ten-year-old children before him.

The currency on the Five Elements Continent is primarily gold coins, although each country has its own distinct minting style for these coins. One gold coin is equivalent to ten silver coins, which in turn equals one hundred copper coins. It is said that there is also a universal currency across the continent, known as the Five Elements Coin, which is equivalent to one hundred gold coins

Karl snorted and said, "Who is friends with a sissy?"

"Immediately, now, right away, everyone be quiet. Whoever is whispering, go outside and run laps in the sun." The loud voice echoed in the spacious classroom, and the previously chaotic scene instantly fell silent. Without needing to look, just by the tone, Ji Dong already knew who had arrived.

Bisu smirked at the books and said, "Forget it, what’s the point of you male students from the Fire Department? It’s better to go to my dormitory; most of the students in the Fire Department are female, and there are quite a few beautiful ones. In my dormitory, I’m the only one, unlike you who have to squeeze four people into one room"

Bisu angrily said: "Is being effeminate a reason to deny human rights? An effeminate person is still human. Do you think I wanted this? Who made it so that the yin attribute accounts for more than 80% of my yin-yang nature? It's the influence of the yin energy that made my voice a bit softer, but I am, at my core, a real man"

Are you afraid now? Weren't you just fighting quite vigorously? To be honest, I do not dislike unruly students; I only dislike those who do not put in effort. If you want to win every fight, then you better work hard in your training from now on. My name is Xia Tian, the scorching summer, the head of the Department of Fire Type B, and also your homeroom teacher and advisor for the first-year Fire Type B students. Remember my name. You, boy, are from Fire Type D, right? Keep this in mind: I absolutely detest weaklings. From now on, when you speak to me, make sure your voice is loud and clear. Do you understand?

In the summer, Wei Ling's piercing gaze swept across the faces of the sixty-one students below. Suddenly, he slammed his hand on the table, producing a loud rumble, and the heavy solid wood lectern groaned in response. The unexpected sound startled the students, and the teacher in the blue dress couldn't help but furrow her brow.

Bisu hurriedly smiled and said: "Teacher, we will not dare to do it again in the future"

Karl said irritably: "Can't you just smell it yourself to find out? Can my brother really deceive you? However, I have truly never had such delicious wine before; it is incredibly vibrant and has an amazing sensation.

Karl said mysteriously: "Drinking is prohibited in the academy. We were all searched when we entered the school gate. However, we were fortunate because we are younger, so the search was not very strict. Those in higher grades are monitored much more closely. If there were alcohol to drink, you would be my boss from now on! My father started giving me alcohol when I was five years old, and the most painful thing for me since starting school has been this matter."

"Impossible." Karl and Bisu said almost in unison

Karl said with some surprise: "You are a 2:8 split Ding Fire type?"

Although Karl appeared fierce, he was by no means a foolish person. He immediately understood the situation and was about to confront Bisu when Ji Dong grabbed his shoulder with one hand. Ji Dong said: "Well, we can consider this a case of not knowing each other before fighting. How about this: since he kicked you, you can kick him back. As for the fight today, you were the one who charged in first, so after you kick him, we can let the past be the past and become friends."

Bisu did not suffer any physical pain, and was immediately overjoyed. The giant snake followed the stick and said, "So, does this mean we are friends from now on?"

Ji Dong said lightly: "Haven't you heard of the balance of yin and yang? You are allowed to be geniuses, but am I not allowed to be a waste?" As he spoke, he was the first to enter the teaching building

When Ji Dong brought them to the top floor of the Fire Department teaching building to his room, Karl and Bisu were already captivated by Ji Dong upon seeing the cabinet that housed at least hundreds of bottles of various fine wines. Of course, there were also some marinated meats that Yang Bingtian had originally prepared for himself. Although Ji Dong absolutely disapproved of drinking cocktails while eating meat, it was acceptable as lunch.

Ji Dong questioned in confusion: "What happened?"

My name is Ji Dong. To be precise, both of you are my classmates, and I practice both the Yin and Yang disciplines.

Summer snorted and said, "Just roll away, there's no need to attend that tedious opening ceremony. Go get your uniforms and stay in the dormitory quietly. I must remind you of one thing: the strictest school rule is that you are not allowed to leave the school gate casually."

Looking at the calm light in Ji Dong's eyes, Bi Su was momentarily taken aback. Then, glancing at Karl, who was already rolling up his sleeves, he helplessly said: "I guess I'm out of luck. I originally intended to use you a bit, but unexpectedly, not only did I end up being a scapegoat, but I also have to take a beating in return. Brother Karl, please go easy on me"

"Alright, all three of you come here," the formidable teacher beckoned to Ji Dong and the others. The three exchanged glances and ran over.

"Alright, stop arguing. Just come over to my place; it's the quietest there. I'll treat you to some drinks." Ji Dong's words silenced Bi Su and Karl. The two exchanged glances and simultaneously lowered their voices to ask, "Can you drink hetushucomcom wine there?"

"Uh, brother, how could you betray me!" Bi Su turned to run, but was caught by Ji Dong.

Stopping in his tracks, Ji Dong felt a sensation of ethereal lightness throughout his body, as if his legs were not his own. Yet, that exhilarating feeling still brought him considerable ease and comfort.

"Thirty-two times? Is that all? You can't be serious, can you?" Bi Su stared blankly at Ji Dong.

Karl said: "Come to my dormitory, anyway there is no one here at this time"

The total number of students in the Bing Fire and Ding Fire categories is only sixty-one, of which Ji Dong is the additional one. The remaining students consist of thirty from each category. The same applies to other grades, so the total number of students in the entire Li Huo Academy is approximately three hundred sixty.

While speaking, Bi Su hugged his head with both hands, turning around in a rather helpless manner to squat down, presenting his backside towards Karl and Ji Dong. Ji Dong found this both amusing and exasperating; this guy truly is a live treasure.

One must be brave enough to take responsibility for their own actions. Do you prefer to have more friends in the future, or do you want to always have an enemy?

Karl's face flushed, and he said, "I just can't stand the way he is. By the way, I still don't know your name. Are you of the Bing Fire type or the Ding Fire type?"

Bisu said, "Elder brother said that the effects of the alcohol we drank will wear off soon, so why do I still feel so dizzy?"

Karl Dao: "Sissy, just give it up. If you go to your Ding Fire system, won't I be tainted by the negative energy too"

Bisu whispered, "Karl, is it true that the wine we are drinking won't have a smell that the teacher can detect?"

Karl disdainfully curled his lip and said, "Isn't it just 80% of Ding Fire? I am also 80% of Bing Fire, look, why don't I boast?"

Watching the direction in which they departed, a hint of a smile appeared on Xia Tian's chubby face as he remarked, "These three little rascals are indeed full of energy; I hope they are teachable talents"

The formidable teacher cast a glance over the faces of the three, snorted, and said: "Today is a lesson for you all. Remember this: if you want to fight in the future, come to me first for approval. I will find a place for you, so you can fight to your heart's content"

When they arrived at the academic affairs office to collect their uniforms and class schedules, a small incident occurred. Bi Su and Karl were quite agreeable, each collecting their respective department's items. However, Ji Dong insisted on collecting items for both departments simultaneously. When he handed over the admission notice specially prepared for him by Yang Bingtian, the teacher at the academic affairs office looked at him as if he were a monster

Ji Dong glanced at him and said, "If you have the ability, shout a little louder."

Karl glared at him and said, "You are the madman, Ji Dong. I support you. My mother once said that as long as you put in the effort, even if you don't succeed, you won't have lost anything. If you need any help, just let me know."

"The morning is the opening ceremony, and we have classes in the afternoon. Does the college have any humanity? They don't even let us take a break," Bi Su lamented as she looked at the class schedule.

Bisu chuckled and said, "Let the past be the past. Besides, who doesn't have a bit of competitiveness? You can only blame yourself for being careless. Moreover, right now, you can't even take on the two of us!"

Bisu grabbed Ji Dong's left arm and said, "What are we waiting for? Let's go quickly"

The scorching sun was past noon, and the first class of the new academic year at the Fire Academy began. Karl and Bisu were seated at the back of the classroom, both wearing silly grins on their faces. Upon closer inspection, it was evident that these two were in a daze. Ji Dong did not sit with them; instead, he chose a seat at the front. One reason was his small stature, and the other was to better hear the lecture. Thirty-two times the effort is not something that can be merely spoken about.

Bisu muttered, "I am just venting a little, but this afternoon's class is quite good. It's rare to have a large class with both the Yang Fire and Yin Fire systems together; there are not many such instances throughout the entire academic year. So, what shall we do now?"

Ji Dong looked at the two, and without saying a word, extended his right hand. Karl and Bisu almost simultaneously placed their hands on top, but Bisu reacted just a bit faster. The three hands of different sizes stacked together, their gazes met, and they all laughed together

As Ji Dong and the other two walked towards the teaching building, Bi Su coughed lightly, his gaze passing over Ji Dong and landing on Karl, saying: "Well, Karl, how about we leave today's matters here?"
