**Chapter 117: Flander's Arrangements**
Ma Hongjun shared a room with Dai Mubai. At this moment, he was lying on his bed, still receiving treatment.
A group of teachers, Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Tang San were all watching from the side.
Aotian also walked in to see how the fatty was doing.
Ma Hongjun hadn't passed out. He looked at his own charred body and could even smell the faint scent of roasted meat, so scared he was about to lose his mind.
Especially after hearing that his life root might not be saved, he was terrified beyond measure. If his life root was gone, what was the point of living?
"Teacher, I don't want to become a eunuch! You have to help me!" Ma Hongjun, unable to move on the bed, wailed.
Flander grew angry and scolded, "Your head is filled with nothing but women all day! It would be better if you became a eunuch, at least then you wouldn't burn yourself to death one day."
Ma Hongjun immediately fell silent, only able to sob and whimper.
Flander felt his words had been a bit harsh and softened his tone. "What exactly happened? How did your own flame burn you?"
Ma Hongjun wanted to shake his head, but even the slightest movement brought excruciating pain. Tears streamed from his eyes as he said, "I don't know. I was still in a combat state, and somehow, the flame suddenly went out of my control."
The healing teacher, sweating profusely, stopped. His soul power was depleted. He said, "My soul power is exhausted. Oscar, use your sausage to treat him for now. I'll come back tonight. His new skin is starting to grow. Don't pick at the outer layer of charred, dead skin; let it fall off naturally."
Oscar created a big sausage and held it to Ma Hongjun's mouth.
Despite having known each other for several years, Ma Hongjun, like Dai Mubai, was very resistant to Oscar's big sausage. But now, for the sake of his body, he had to swallow it no matter how disgusting it was.
Ma Hongjun tried to open his mouth, but the movement pulled at the injured skin on his face, causing blood to seep out again.
Flander quickly stopped him. "Forget it. Don't give him anything to eat for now. Just cook some porridge for him to drink."
After speaking, he looked at Dai Mubai and said, "Mubai, Hongjun is your roommate. I'm leaving his care to you while he recovers."
Dai Mubai was stunned and asked, "If he needs to piss and shit, I have to catch it and wipe his ass for him too?"
"What, you can't even handle a little hardship like this?" Flander looked coldly at Dai Mubai.
Dai Mubai braced himself and said, "Fine, fine! I'll take care of him, alright?"
Oscar couldn't help but snicker.
Flander glanced at Oscar and said, "Oscar, you'll join Mubai. The two of you will take turns caring for Hongjun."
"No way, Dean, I..." Oscar was about to protest, but when he saw the look Flander shot him, he was immediately rendered speechless.
"Little Ao, just accept your fate. From now on, you'll handle his shit and piss, and I'll be in charge of making his porridge," Dai Mubai said.
"In your dreams!" Oscar immediately felt the urge to vomit and quickly refused.
Flander was getting annoyed. "How you two arrange it is your business. Just make sure you take good care of him."
After that, he looked at Aotian and said, "Go get those girls and bring them to the sports ground. I have something to say."
Flander still remembered Aotian. Two days ago, Aotian had brought Xiao Wu, Gu Yuena, and Zhu Zhuqing into his shop. Although they hadn't spoken, with the striking appearances of Aotian and the three girls, how could Flander possibly forget them?
"Alright." Aotian turned and walked out.
"Tang San, you come with me first," Flander said.
"Yes, Dean." Tang San followed Flander out toward the sports ground.
After arriving at the sports ground, Flander said nothing, just stood there quietly with his eyes closed.
Tang San stood up straight, waiting quietly by the side.
Before long, Aotian arrived with four girls.
Flander opened his eyes and looked at the new students before him, his expression somewhat satisfied.
Not long after returning last night, he had already heard Zhao Wuji's report. Every one of the new students admitted this year was a rare genius.
What shocked him the most was that among these six new students, three had already broken through to the Soul Elder realm. Soul Elders under the age of thirteen—Flander knew exactly what that meant.
This was simply unprecedented. In all his experience, he had never heard of such monstrously talented geniuses.
This kind of talent was far superior to that of Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun.
He was also very pleased with Tang San. Although he hadn't broken through to Soul Elder, he heard his soul power had also reached level thirty. His talent was likely no worse than those three monstrous prodigies.
As for the other two girls, one was from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and the other had the Nether Cat martial soul, likely from the Zhu Family of the Star Luo Empire. Flander was very satisfied with them as well.
"You should all still remember me. We just met two days ago," Flander said.
"That's right. I am Flander, the Dean of Shrek Academy. From now on, you are all members of Shrek Academy, and at Shrek Academy, you must abide by Shrek Academy's rules..."
Shrek Academy's rules were few, but very strict. Flander finished his explanation in just a few minutes.
"Now, for those of you who feel you cannot accept the academy's rules, I will give you a chance to withdraw."
He looked at the group of six. Seeing that none of them spoke, he nodded in satisfaction.
He pointed to a large bell behind him and said, "The academy's training courses and schedules are not fixed. From now on, whenever you hear this bell ring, you must assemble here immediately."
"Yes, Dean!" Tang San stood up straight and answered loudly.
Aotian and the others, however, remained silent, which made Tang San feel a bit awkward.
Flander looked at Tang San and said, "You are free to arrange your own time today. Adjust your condition. Early tomorrow morning, Teacher Zhao will lead you to the Star Dou Great Forest to help you obtain your third soul ring and advance to Soul Elder."
Tang San was touched. He had been waiting for this third soul ring for several months. He never expected that the first thing the Dean would arrange upon his arrival at Shrek Academy was to help him acquire a soul ring.
Zhu Zhuqing's expression was a little hesitant, as if she wanted to say something.
Flander said, "If there's nothing else, you're all dismissed. Tang San, come with me. I have some questions for you."
"Dean," Zhu Zhuqing finally spoke up, calling out.
Flander's gaze shifted to Zhu Zhuqing. "Is there anything else?" he asked.
"Dean, my soul power has also reached level thirty, and I haven't obtained a soul ring yet."
Flander was taken aback for a moment. "During yesterday's test, wasn't your soul power at level twenty-seven?" he asked.
Although he wasn't present yesterday, he was well aware of the situation from the other teachers' reports.
Zhu Zhuqing said, "I held back during yesterday's test. The truth is, I reached level thirty some time ago."
A smile appeared on Flander's face, and he suddenly burst out laughing. "Good, very good! Tomorrow in the Star Dou Great Forest, Teacher Zhao will also help you find a suitable soul ring."
"Thank you, Dean," Zhu Zhuqing said.
"Mm, you may all go now." Flander waved his hand, his mood finally improving a little.
Flander walked toward his office, with Tang San following behind him.
"Tang San," Ning Rongrong called out from behind.
Tang San turned back.
"Thank you for defeating Teacher Zhao yesterday, allowing all of us to successfully enter Shrek Academy," Ning Rongrong said.
Tang San smiled and said, "We're all classmates. There's no need to be so polite."
After speaking, he quickly hurried to catch up with Flander.
Xiao Wu hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Sister Zhuqing, are you really going to kill a soul beast to absorb its soul ring?"
