But quickly, they realized things were not that simple; these school administrators seemed overly concerned about this boy. Could it be, could he truly be a teacher?
The world is full of wonders! Yet, in all their lives, this was the first time they encountered a situation where a child of only a few years old was appointed as a teacher at a major institution!
Strange as it was, they dared not ask too many questions. After all, this was their first day of work, and they certainly couldn't give their superiors the bad impression of gossips!
After the school leaders briefly mentioned a few things to pay attention to, the next order of business was the actual teaching assignments!
Since all of them were new teachers, their specific teaching proficiency was not yet clear. Therefore, these newly hired teachers, including Zhong Shenxiu, would first start by instructing the incoming freshmen. Only after a period of observation to confirm their abilities would reassignment be considered!
No one voiced any objection to this arrangement, and Zhong Shenxiu remained silent.
The matter then moved to which specific class each person would teach. Setting aside others, let's focus on Zhong Shenxiu.
Considering Zhong Shenxiu's unique nature, and wanting to better test his capabilities, the leadership committee decided to assign Zhong Shenxiu to the "Noble Class"!
As for this so-called "Noble Class," it was really only the name that sounded appealing. Every single student enrolled had gotten in through connections, possessing little genuine ability and generally being spoiled and unruly—a class that gave the school administration a massive headache!
Some might ask: why cluster them together? Wouldn't that make management even harder?
The truth was, they had no choice. If these so-called aristocratic scions were placed in ordinary classes with students who earned their spots through merit, it would only negatively affect the ambitious students and constantly lead to friction!
Although such a class was difficult to manage, it could not be ignored, as courtesy had to be paid to the powerful figures behind them.
Zhong Shenxiu had no complaints; it mattered little to him which class he taught! Furthermore, he had no regard for whether they were noble or not, nor was he afraid of their unreasonable behavior, because he possessed a specific method for dealing with people just like them!
The matter was settled thus: Zhong Shenxiu's assigned class would be the "Blade Class"!
Since the freshmen were busy with various administrative tasks that morning, the class meetings were scheduled for the afternoon. Classes that couldn't finish their orientation that day might even have to postpone it further!
The so-called class meeting was merely a chance for introductory exchanges between teacher and students, alongside the reading of school rules and regulations, and the selection of class officials!
Putting aside what happened in other classes, let us focus on Class Four!
Although these students had only just met, their aristocratic backgrounds meant they were generally quite eloquent. In a matter of moments, they found those who shared their sensibilities and gathered in small groups, chatting about everything under the sun.
However, their topics soon converged: debating what kind of person their head teacher would be.
"Hey, I heard our academy has a lot of bombshell teachers, and many are single. I wonder if our class will get..." The speaker didn't finish his sentence, a lecherous expression already spreading across his face.
"I prefer someone more mature, and if she were a little bigger, that would be even better!" one fellow declared, even more exaggeratedly, nearly drooling.
"My requirements aren't high; as long as she's a beauty," said another.
"I think for you, as long as it's female, that'll do, right?"
"Get lost, or I'll beat you up!"
Wayne was unusually quiet today. He hadn't joined the others' discussion. For him, it didn't matter who the teacher was; what mattered was that he was currently relieved not to have encountered those two little devils again!
Yet, a question still churned in his mind: how could those two little devils possibly be here?
Just then, the classroom door swung open. First, Leander walked in, his tone tinged with excitement: "Class, quiet down for a moment. I will now introduce your head teacher."
These students were initially deeply disappointed to see Leander, but hearing his words reignited their hopes. They truly dreaded the thought of this middle-aged man being their teacher; that would have utterly depressed them!
At Leander's nod, Keni, Zhong Shenxiu, and Robin walked in!
Many of the students’ eyes locked onto Keni the moment she entered, their vulgar gazes scanning her up and down!
"G-Gorgeous," the previously lecherous guy muttered under his breath.
Though these boys had seen countless beauties, they had never dreamed of someone as flawless as Keni!
In that moment, their beastly instincts were nearly unleashed!
However, one person among the group was an exception: Wayne. Upon seeing Zhong Shenxiu and Robin enter, he nearly collapsed. His previously relaxed nerves snapped taut again, his heart rate spiking violently, his breathing becoming labored, and his pupils dilating wider and wider!
How could they be here? How could they be here... Wayne couldn't believe his eyes. In that instant, he wished desperately that he were dreaming, but reality always delivered a harsh blow!
"Now, I will introduce your head teacher!" Leander suddenly announced. He hadn't anticipated that these new students, though young in age, possessed quite the youthful lust; he wondered who they learned such behavior from! Hearing this, the students immediately sat upright, fixing their gazes on Keni with expressions that clearly asked, 'Beautiful Teacher, what is your name?'
But what they never expected was for Leander to point to the small boy beside him: "This is your head teacher. You may address him as Teacher Zhong from now on!"
Instantly, everyone froze, jaws agape, eyes bulging almost out of their sockets!
"And," Leander continued, ignoring their stunned reactions, "these two are Teacher Zhong's assistants!"
These students seemed not to hear him, remaining slack-jawed as they stared at Zhong Shenxiu!
"Th-This has to be a joke, right?"
"A-Are they serious??"
"Did I hear that right?"
"What in the world is happening to this era??"
These freshmen, after all, hadn't seen much of the world, and accepting this new head teacher was simply too much for them to process!
It was hardly surprising; they had spent the last half hour speculating about their teacher, yet they never imagined the result would be this!
If they had to have a male teacher, fine, but couldn't they at least find one with a full set of growing hair? Appointing a child—what did that make them? Did the school think they were idiots?
The more these students thought, the angrier they became!
Leander was unaware of the psychological turmoil brewing among the students. He smiled at Zhong Shenxiu and said, "Teacher Zhong, I have other matters to attend to, so I will take my leave now!"
Zhong Shenxiu merely gave a slight nod, his eyes sweeping over every single person.
Shortly after Leander departed, the formerly quiet classroom erupted into chaos. Noise flooded the room, with everyone shouting different things!
"What kind of trash academy is this, fooling us by putting a child in charge!"
"Go eat dirt! They treat us like fools!"
"I'm going home to tell my father to shut this academy down!"
"No, I'm dropping out right now!"
Truly, one small stone had stirred up a thousand waves!
And a large segment of these students were only looking for trouble or excitement; these spoiled brats always found ways to manufacture thrills for themselves!
Don't worry, Zhong Shenxiu would give them the excitement they craved soon enough, and an abundance of it!
Wayne, knowing Zhong Shenxiu and Robin inside and out, understood that beneath their frail exteriors lay monstrous power. Therefore, he remained extremely quiet. He dared not utter a peep, scarcely even daring to breathe, his eyes nervously tracking the slightest shift in expression on Zhong Shenxiu and Robin's faces.
If he could, Wayne would have fled this place instantly! Yet, it was only a passing thought. If courage were given to him, he wouldn't dare leave rashly!
"Quiet!" At that moment, Zhong Shenxiu, who had remained silent until now, finally spoke. His voice wasn't loud, but it carried clearly into every student's ear.
Everyone paused, and a strange quiet fell as they stared curiously at Zhong Shenxiu.
However, this silence only lasted a fleeting moment before being replaced by peals of laughter!
"Hahaha! This is hilarious. Does this kid actually think he's a teacher?"
"Ha! Is this kid mentally ill? He tells us to be quiet, so we must be quiet?!"
"The kid's a teacher, so maybe we should skip school too and just become professors, haha!"
Paul was about to interject a comment, but before his words left his mouth, someone tugged at him. He turned to see it was Wayne and asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"
He and Wayne had just met and seemed to hit it off, sitting near each other. Paul was surprised that Wayne would pull him now.
Wayne didn't speak; more accurately, he dared not speak. He merely used his eyes to signal Paul, his expression conveying something like: Stop showing off, or you'll be struck down by lightning!
If telepathy were possible, Wayne would tell Paul: Buddy, stop acting foolish. I was just like you once, loving to show off. But I don't dare now. Why? You'll find out soon enough!
Paul clearly didn't grasp Wayne's meaning and wanted to ask again, but seeing Wayne shaking his head violently, he swallowed his question, though the doubt in his mind only grew stronger!
Just then, Keni suddenly spoke a sentence to Zhong Shenxiu with a smile, drawing everyone's attention:
"Little Xiu, I'm going to call the nurse's office staff over right now!"
With that, she actually left the classroom!
The students exchanged baffled glances, utterly confused. Why call the nurse? Was someone injured here?
