Chapter 53: Zhu Zhuqing's Intention to Depart
"Unworthy of being a member here?"
"You think I care about wasting my time in your lousy academy?" After Ning Rongrong finished speaking, she didn't wait for Flander to reply, turning around immediately. She walked decisively in the direction of the dormitory, clearly going to pack her things.
She left as soon as she said she would, without any hesitation.
Flander was instantly dumbfounded.
This script isn't right.
According to this young lady's temperament, after being told that by him, shouldn't she have stubbornly refused to leave, then tried to threaten him, and then been lectured by him?
How could she be so decisive now, ready to pack her things and leave in an instant?
Where's your young lady's temper?
At least say a couple more words, so I can respond.
Leaving just like that, how am I supposed to act next?
Flander felt it was tricky, wanting to open his mouth and try to make her stay. But the words of expulsion had already been spoken; wouldn't taking them back be slapping himself in the face? Where was his Dean's prestige?
So he could only watch Ning Rongrong leave into the distance, regretting that his methods had been too aggressive. He should have used a gentler approach, but who would have thought this young lady couldn't endure even a bit of grievance? She just left.
Now, great, he had lost a top-tier support type.
What a huge loss.
Although his heart was bleeding over the loss of a top-tier support type for the Future Shrek student team, Flander showed no reaction to Ning Rongrong's departure. As if nothing had happened, with his hands clasped behind his back, he said, "Alright, prepare to depart. You've all seen the results for Ning Rongrong and Oscar. If you want to stay here for cultivation, you must obey the academy's rules. Attend every lesson diligently. My words here are commands.
Next, you will begin your first lesson at Shrek. Each of you will complete your lesson independently. Don't blame me for not stating this beforehand; if you don't do well enough, then even if you don't die, you'll lose a layer of skin."
Finally, Flander waved his hand and said, "Depart. Follow me." With that, he tapped his toes on the ground and lightly darted out, moving towards the direction outside the academy.
Everyone quickly followed.
Zhu Zhuqing walked at the back, turning her head to look in the direction Ning Rongrong had departed. An intention to leave also sprouted within her heart. In the past, she had Ning Rongrong, who was also a girl, to accompany her, but now even this only friend was gone.
Now, she was the only girl left in the entire Shrek Academy. It was inevitable that she would feel lonely.
Most importantly, like Ning Rongrong, she had also seen through the essence of this academy. She just wasn't sure if this academy had any unique teaching methods, after all, since it dared to boast the reputation of only accepting monsters, it must have some unique training methods, right? If it did, then staying wasn't out of the question.
If it didn't, Zhu Zhuqing would decisively choose to leave.
As for where she could go after leaving here?
Zhu Zhuqing didn't know either.
She might return to the Star Luo Empire, or perhaps join some advanced academy, or she might cultivate silently by herself, desperately striving to improve. She would wait for that final moment to arrive, to launch her ultimate resistance!
As for the outcome, it was no longer important.
At least she had resisted and strived for it. She would have no regrets.
If, in the end, she still couldn't change her destiny, then she could only hope for a good rebirth in her next life.
...
Under Flander's lead, the group arrived at the nearest Soto City.
Although it was already dark, Soto City seemed to have just woken up, even more lively than during the day. Along both sides of the streets, all the shops were brightly lit, and some small vendors who only operated at night had also found their usual spots to sell snacks or small items.
Flander led the group to a large area of tall buildings. From that angle, they could only see that the building was nearly a hundred meters tall, immensely massive, and appeared extremely imposing in the night.
From within that enormous building, faint light flickered.
Dai Mubai's expression changed, and he whispered, "Dean, are you sending them there on the very first day?"
Flander said calmly, "Remember, you are all monsters, not ordinary people. Since you are monsters, you must have the cultivation methods of monsters." At this point, he paused and said in a deep voice, "Your martial souls are all different, and each of you has your own cultivation method. What the academy can teach you is how to better utilize your martial souls, help you obtain better soul rings, gain more combat experience, and develop your potential as much as possible.
The rest is knowledge regarding various aspects of martial souls, as well as the situation of soul masters on the continent. Among all the things you need to learn, the most important is combat experience."
"With the same level and strength, the amount of combat experience will determine the key to victory or defeat. Only through continuous combat can you enhance your adaptability in battle as much as possible. Therefore, your first lesson is combat. And that place is your classroom."
Zhu Zhuqing listened to Flander's words, looking at the tall building that had appeared in the Future Video, feeling a bit disappointed inside. She had finally lost all fantasy regarding Shrek Academy.
She understood clearly now. This Shrek fundamentally had no unique training methods; the so-called lessons were just sending them to the Spirit Arena to engage in combat. They would use combat to temper themselves.
This method was good, but the problem was, did they f***ing need to teach this?
Who doesn't know that soul masters need combat experience?
Who doesn't know that the Spirit Arena is the best place for combat?
Listing Shrek's pros and cons, Zhu Zhuqing helplessly discovered that this academy, whose reputation was boasted sky-high and claimed to only accept monsters, taught things that other academies also taught. Furthermore, the hardware facilities of other higher academies were far from comparable to this crappy academy that had nothing.
No wonder Ning Rongrong wanted to leave.
Zhu Zhuqing also wanted to leave now.
However, at least she would finish attending today's lesson.
Recalling her past self in the Future Video, forming a team with Ning Rongrong precisely in this Suotuo Great Spirit Arena... If it was the Future that hadn't been changed by the exposure, how exactly did she become that person's disciple?
Zhu Zhuqing didn't know. But she knew she couldn't place her hope on the illusory Future.
Humans need to rescue themselves; they cannot rely on others to save them.
...
The next day.
The sky hadn't completely brightened yet.
Zhu Zhuqing opened her dormitory door and walked out. After returning from her soul duel last night, she had already packed everything that needed to be packed overnight. She could leave at any time.
She took one last look at this academy, her gaze focusing on the direction of the boys' dormitory. Recalling Dai Mubai... she silently sighed to herself and quietly walked towards the school gate.
The entire process was very smooth.
No one suddenly jumped out to stop her.
By the time Zhu Zhuqing arrived in Soto City, the sky had completely brightened. The morning sun had just risen, and warm sunlight poured down... She suddenly had a feeling of being reborn.
"...Zhuqing!"
A familiar voice came from behind.
After Zhu Zhuqing heard that voice, she instinctively turned around, only to see Ning Rongrong, who had left just yesterday, smilingly looking at her.
