9 Starting Lessons
Casting his memory back to when he had first read the novel, Lu Fengyi realised that this fatty had indeed fawned over Zhang Xuan in order to convince him not to feed him to the turtles in the pond. Who would have thought that seeing it happen in front of him only served to make the fatty seem even more shameless!
"Not bad!" Zhang Xuan nodded his head in approval.
The fatty once more opened his mouth to make unreasonable remarks before Zhang Xuan stopped him, "Sit down first. I'll be starting the lesson now."
Suddenly, Lu Fengyi's mind cleared as he realised something that had been bugging him when he walked into the already filled class. In the original novel, the students had definitely not showed up before Zhang Xuan and had filed in one by one after Zhang Xuan's initial arrival. 'Could it be that just my existence had already changed so much about the world?' Lu Fengyi thought.
[ You don't have to worry about that. That was just an example of the system representative doing his work. The day before, he altered the school rules so that all students had to arrive early, while in the original novel, students only needed to arrive on time. Hence, all the students have arrived before the teachers ]
'But wasn't the system representative supposed to not interfere much?' Lu Fengyi asked internally.
[ Just think of it as a one-off system testing to make sure it works in times of need ]
With that, the system cut off. L Fengyi assumed that the system would not give any decent explanation and chose to drop the topic, looking back towards the front of the classroom.
The fatty had already returned to his seat in the middle row while Zhang Xuan walked to the front of the classroom, standing in front of what seemed to be a lecture stand. Just as Zhang Xuan opened his mouth to begin, the door slammed open and an overly bandaged individual appeared in the doorway.
While four of the other students did not have a clue to who this man was, Lu Fengyi was extremely clear on the identity of the mysterious bandaged man. He was the butler of the Zhao family, Yao Han! When Lu Fengyi read this part of the novel, he had only imagined several band-aids and bandages on vital parts of the butler's body, but who would have thought that the butler would have enough medical coverage to make him look like an undead from those horror movies.
"You are alright?"
Yao Han not only burst into the classroom but began shouting odd things towards Zhang Xuan.
"Why wouldn't I be alright?" Zhang Xuan wrinkled his brows in slight confusion, looking towards Zhao Ya, "This disabled person is..."
The butler burst into rage, however after several exchanges, Zhao Ya ended up pushing him out of the classroom, shutting the door in front of the butler's face. Lu Fengyi smiled broadly as he remembered the scene within the novel, it was truly a good example of Zhang Xuan's thick skin and poker face skills.
After the butler left, only Zhang Xuan and the six students were lift inside the classroom. Zhang Xuan surveyed the surroundings, "Since all of you have acknowledged me as your teacher, you all would be fellow peers. Make sure to take good care of one another so as to not sully my prestige!"
Lu Fengyi guffawed inwardly. Reading and seeing for one's own self was truly too different. It was almost like reading the script of a play and acting it out. Completely different experiences. Even the novel had already made him crack up from time to time, this experience would only make it better.
"My way to teaching is slightly different from the others. I pay particular importance to cater teachings to the student's personal condition. The way to guiding everyone is different! Thus, there is nothing to compare between you all!" Zhang Xuan put on the airs of a teacher, "Right now, I will go to the little room by the side. When I call your name, enter the little room!"
With that, Zhang Xuan called for Wang Ying to enter first before leading the way into the side room.
The moment the door of the side room clicked shut, the remaining students turned their chairs and formed a circle, whispering to each other. Lu Fengyi, of course, joined in to the conversation.
One of the boys kicked off the conversation, "Nice to meet you everyone, my name is Liu Yang. I intend to withdraw from his lessons later, are any of you all with me?"
After Liu Yang's introduction, Lu Fengyi was able to identify the rest of the students with his own knowledge. The fatty from earlier could only be Yuan Tao, the spear wielding one had to be Zheng Yang and being the only girl in the main room at that point in time, the last could only by Zhao Ya. Although Lu Fengyi knew that Zhao Ya's unique constitution had yet to awaken, he couldn't help but marvel at the youthful beauty. In his original world, people would only be able to obtain such looks after thick layers of makeup and other sorts of nonsense, however Zhao Ya's natural true beauty was truly something to be in awe at.
"I.. also want to withdraw from his lessons. But if Zhang Xuan laoshi were to be angered, it is hard to tell what he might do!" the fatty, Yuan Tao continued after Liu Yang's comment.
Liu Yang scoffed contemptuously, "Angry? Hmph, so what if he is angry? What can he do? I don't want to go berserk from his misguidance!"
This time Zheng Yang spoke up in confusion, "Berserk?"
"Un!" Liu Yang continued, "If you don't believe it, just wait and see. When Wang Ying walks out later, her face will surely be awful! She will feel like she has been scammed! I have already long heard of Zhang Xuan laoshi's teaching standards. If he was able to offer proper pointers, he wouldn't have landed in such a state, being viewed in contempt by the other teachers.."
Lu Fengyi couldn't resist but to contribute to the topic, "Let us experience how Zhang laoshi teaches us before we make such drastic decisions shall we?"
Just as Lu Fengyi finished his comment, the door unlatched, and Wang Ying strode out with a brilliant smile upon her face. While the other students were looking puzzledly at Wang Ying's expression, Lu Fengyi stepped up to her on impulse, "So how did everything go?"
Wang Ying blushed slightly before answering, "Everything went really well, he's a talented teacher."
Wang Ying turned towards Liu Yang, "Liu Yang, teacher called for you to enter!"
After Liu Yang's back disappeared behind the door and the sound of the latch snapping shut sounded once more, Lu Fengyi turned back to Wang Ying, "So... how are your legs feeling?"
