Chapter 42 - 42 School Opening Ceremony
42 School Opening Ceremony
For three consecutive days, Ning Shi had been busy with school matters, so he left the game on system hack.
The efficiency of system hack was very high, so he was not worried.
In the blink of an eye, it was the first day of school.
Ning Shi got up early in the morning.
Today’s occasion was very formal, so Ning Shi was planning to wear a suit.
He had just put on his clothes and tidied himself up in front of the mirror when the doorbell rang.
Ning Shi opened the door. Yun Moxiang was standing outside.
Yun Moxiang’s eyes brightened when she saw Ning Shi in a suit. “Consultant Ning looks so handsome in a suit. I wonder how many girls will fall for you today.”
After cracking a joke, Yun Moxiang handed Ning Shi a bag.
“I prepared a set of Tang suit for you.”
“Many of the teachers in the school belong to the martial arts world. They all wear Tang suit for formal occasions. If you don’t mind, I suggest you wear Tang suit too. That way, you’ll fit in nicely.”
“Thanks for the reminder.” Ning Shi took the bag and said. “I like it very much.”
Walking into the bedroom, Ning Shi began to change into the Tang suit. It was his first time wearing one, so he was a little unfamiliar. It took a few minutes for him to get dressed.
The Tang suit that Yun Moxiang had given him was custom-made. It was navy blue in color, and the cuffs were decorated with golden dragon patterns.
Ning Shi stood in front of the mirror and looked at himself in the mirror. He stood tall and upright, full of energy, and the aura of a martial arts master emerged.
He had originally looked a little young, but after wearing the Tang suit, he had a more mature temperament.
As expected, clothes make the man. Good clothes can add a lot of color to a person. Wearing the Tang suit, even an 80% appearance can be elevated to a 100% elegance.
Yun Moxiang nodded her head repeatedly.
“Consultant Ning, I’ll borrow your room for a while.”
Then, without waiting for Ning Shi’s response, she carried another bag, walked into Ning Shi’s bedroom, and closed the door.
Ning Shi was speechless, feeling that Miss Yun was a little scheming.
It wasn’t good to go to a man’s place to change clothes, right?
“Although I’m very grateful that you bought clothes for me, I’m not a casual person.”
Ning Shi jokingly muttered to himself, then took the initiative to leave the house and take a walk outside.
It was better for a man and a woman to avoid suspicion. It would be embarrassing if a coincidence happened and someone misunderstood them.
Yun Moxiang had changed into a cheongsam in Ning Shi’s bedroom.
This cheongsam was custom-made by a master that she had hired. It was made of pure natural fabric, with gorgeous colors, and an extremely graceful style. It was gentle and charming, classical yet slightly sexy.
After putting on the cheongsam, Yun Moxiang’s tall and slender figure was completely accentuated. Although her breasts weren’t big, her bottom was quite perky, her legs were white and slender, and she was wearing a pair of sky high heels.
The charm of a mature woman was completely released.
Yun Moxiang admired herself in front of the mirror for a while, then opened the bedroom door with satisfaction, imagining Ning Shi being shocked by her beauty.
Creak!
The bedroom door opened.
The living room was empty. There was not a single person.
Yun Moxiang’s face turned green. After all this, it ended up being her one-man show.
Ning Shi knew that women took a long time to change, so he strolled around outside for half an hour before returning to his residence.
Seeing Yun Moxiang’s Oriental cheongsam, Ning Shi was slightly stunned and praised her.
“Miss Yun, you’re so beautiful today!”
Yun Moxiang didn’t say a word. Her face was cold, and she looked like she didn’t want to interact with anyone.
Ning Shi was at a loss, so he directly changed the topic.
“It’s almost time for the opening ceremony. Let’s go.”
It was a beautiful day with a clear sky and a gentle breeze. Although it was sunny, it wasn’t particularly hot.
At 9 a.m. sharp, 5000 students stood neatly on the field.
The thousands of people appeared boundless.
Ning Shi sat on the rostrum and looked at the dense crowd of students below the stage. He had a sense of pride and a deep sense of responsibility.
Yun Moxiang was today’s emcee. She walked gracefully to the podium and spoke into the microphone.
“The opening ceremony of Donglin City’s First Strength Awakener School has officially begun! First of all, please allow me to introduce the guests on the stage. They’re from Donglin City…”
There were a lot of leaders and upper-class people from all walks of life who came today. There were 11 people on the rostrum alone. Ning Shi sat in the center seat, not saying a word, because he didn’t know anyone.
After introducing the important figures, everyone stood up according to the procedure and held the flag-raising ceremony.
Under the solemn national anthem, everyone stood at attention and saluted.
After the flag-raising ceremony, Yun Moxiang once again walked up to the podium and invited the first official to speak.
Although Ning Shi was the principal, he was still drowsy from listening.
After three leaders finished their speeches, the teachers’ representative spoke, and then the students’ representative spoke. When Ning Shi was the last to appear, the students had already stood for more than an hour and were out of energy.
Ning Shi walked to the podium, and after a self-introduction, he went straight to the point.
With a wave of his hand, a 55-seater golden dragon bus drove into the field. There were many sandbags on the bus.
Seeing this scene, the students were all very curious. They didn’t know what the principal was up to.
“Students, I know that you’ve all experienced one of the greatest joys and sorrows of life some time ago.”
“Joy, because you’ve won the 20% chance lottery of becoming an awakener.”
“Sorrow, because your awakened ability is a strength-type. Compared to the elemental-type and spirit-type students, you are like chicken ribs that are tasteless, yet a pity to throw away!”
“The people around you tell you that strength-type awakeners have no future and are useless!
“Today, I’ll demonstrate to everyone just how strong a strength-type awakener can be!”
Ning Shi lightly jumped onto the top of the golden dragon bus and said loudly, “This Jinlong bus weighs 17 tons. With the sandbags, the whole bus weighs 30 tons, which is 60000 pounds.”
With that, Ning Shi jumped off the bus and walked to the middle of the bus, his hand reaching for the bottom of the bus.
“Rise!”
Ning Shi shouted and easily lifted the 30-ton bus!
The students couldn’t keep quiet any longer, and they all exclaimed in shock.
“F*ck, is the principal still human? He’s a monster!”
“The principal can lift a 30-ton object, so the force of his punch is estimated to be 50 tons? He’s too strong!”
“The principal is also a strength-type awakener. One day, I will be as strong as him.”
“Who said that strength-type awakeners have no future? Our future is bright!
Compared to the students, the teachers who were watching from the side were even more excited.
Li Daxiang stroked his trembling beard and was overjoyed. “It’s even more impressive seeing him in person. Witnessing principal Ning’s divine power with my own eyes makes my blood boil. I feel 20 years younger all of a sudden.”
Duan Qixun clenched his thick-backed saber tightly, his expression even more excited than Li Daxiang’s.
“Master Li, did you realize that principal Ning used brute force to lift the bus? there’s no technique to exert force. If he combined it with a special force-exerting technique, the power of his fist would probably reach a terrifying level. No wonder he could defeat a Tier 6 elemental-type awakener with just one punch.”
Daoist priest Jue Chen, who was dressed in a white Daoist robe, shook his head. “Principal Ning’s strength isn’t limited to this. The scene of him defeating Wang Yunlin was deliberately edited by the officials.”
“According to the information from fellow Daoist Qingyun of the Baiyun temple, when the Flame Messenger Brian appeared, there were no official consultants at the scene. Yet, Brian died in the end. Qingyun has always suspected that it was principal Ning Shi who had killed Brian.”
“Now it seems that his speculation is true. With principal Ning Shi’s strength, even a Tier 7 awakener can’t defend it.”
All the teachers and students present were shocked by Ning Shi’s overwhelming divine power.
It was easy for Ning Shi to lift the bus, but the ground of the field couldn’t bear it. His feet sank about a foot into the ground.
Seeing that the demonstration effect had been achieved, Ning Shi put down the bus.
He was very satisfied with what he heard from the students’ discussion.
Today’s demonstration wasn’t for the sake of showing off. It was mainly to inspire the students’ confidence and fighting spirit.
In the circle of awakeners, there was prejudice and contempt towards strength-type awakeners. Ning Shi had personally experienced it. These students must have been instilled with such thoughts.
Ning Shi wanted to use practical actions to sweep away the doubts of the past and encourage the students.
Now, it seemed that the effect was pretty good.
The students seemed to have been injected with chicken blood and were full of energy.
Ning Shi walked up to the podium and continued, “I’m sure everyone knows the potential of strength-type awakeners now! Every school has its own school motto. Today, I hereby announce the motto of Donglin City’s First Strength Awakener School is…”
“One strength breaks all techniques!”
“One strength breaks all techniques” was the declaration of a strength-type awakener. No matter how many skills elemental-type awakeners use, or how many tricks spiritual-type awakeners use, I, a strength-type awakener, can break them all with the strength of my fist!
The applause from the audience was thunderous, and the crowd was excited.
After waiting for a while, when the applause stopped, Ning Shi pointed to the bus.
“I’ll keep this bus in the corner of the school field. I hope that more students will be able to lift it in the future! At the same time, I would like to make an announcement.”
“A week later, the school will be holding a martial arts competition for all new students. The specific rules will be announced later.”
“The school would allocate more resources to those who ranked higher in the competition. The top three would receive a mysterious reward.”
“In the future, the martial arts competition would be held three times every semester, one at the beginning, one at the middle, and one at the end of the semester. Whoever was stronger would be able to obtain more resources and better treatment!”
“Good luck, students!”
What needed to be said had been said. Ning Shi no longer nagged and directly walked down the podium.
As he got off the stage, he caught a glimpse of a figure from the corner of his eye.
A woman in a white dress stood in the middle of the culture class teachers. There was a black ribbon around her waist, which outlined an alluring arc.
Ning Shi directly walked over.
“Mengmeng, what are you doing here? Are you done with your business?”
Seeing Ning Shi, Hao Meng’s big round eyes squinted into a line, revealing a happy smile.
“Shitou, it has been ten days since I last called you. I said I would come to you in ten days.”
As the principal, Ning Shi’s words and actions received a lot of attention. Hao Meng was also a great beauty. As the two stood there talking, many people looked at them.
“It’s my bad memory. Mengmeng, let’s talk in my office. I have a lot of things to ask you.”
The two of them left the field and walked toward the principal’s office.
This scene was seen by Yun Moxiang, who was greeting the various leaders. She gritted her teeth and secretly hated it. Then, her eyes turned as if she had thought of an idea.
