Chapter 2272 Joining The Academy
Sima You Yue followed the student to the Headmaster’s office. Someone was talking inside, and they waited outside.
“By the way, I haven’t asked you yet. Do you have anything to do with the Headmaster?”
“I’m here to apply to be a teacher.” Sima You Yue said, “The next time you see me, I might be a teacher.”
“What?!”
The student’s eyes widened in surprise. It was the first time he had ever experience such a thing. He wanted to ask her why she came at this time, but Sima You Yue didn’t intend to ease his confusion: “Thank you for bringing me here, I have to go in already.”
The student wanted to say that there were still people in the office, but the door suddenly opened and a teacher came out: “This way please, the Headmaster invites you in.”
Sima You Yue entered the office, and there were three or four teachers sitting inside. When she saw her coming in, they all looked at her.
“Is there something wrong with this girl coming to the academy?” An old man sitting behind the desk looked at her kindly.
Sima You Yue remembered the old Headmaster of Dongchen Guo Academy, who was dressed in white just like him, with white hair and beard, looking very immortal.
She saluted the Headmaster and said, “I’m here to apply for a freshman teacher. I don’t know if you still lack teachers here?”
“You? Little girl, how old are you?” The Headmaster didn’t speak, and a round-faced man sitting beside him asked first.
“I’m over two hundred years old.” Sima You Yue said honestly.
“When you are more than two hundred years old, you want to be a teacher? We have more students here who have not completed their studies at the age of four or five hundred.”
“Since I said that I can be a teacher, I naturally have this ability.” Sima You Yue said confidently.
“Oh? Then you show your strength now. If you are qualified enough to be a teacher, we will hire you as a teacher. It’s just to play with us. Not only will you not be a teacher, but we will also hold you accountable for trespassing in the academy.” The old Headmaster said.
“Alright. What do you want to test me? Come up with the test.”
“Aren’t you going to ask us what to test you?”
“You can choose whatever you want.”
“What a big tone! It’s good for young people to have self-confidence, but too much is being conceited.” The round-faced teacher said.
“Only a person with strength can say such things.” Sima You Yue said.
“Can you refine eight-grade medicinal herbs?” the round-faced teacher asked.
Sima You Yue didn’t talk nonsense, she directly took out the pill furnace and medicinal materials, and started refining pills in front of them.
That round-faced teacher was an alchemist. Just looking at Sima You Yue’s movements in refining medicinal materials, he knew that her level of alchemy was not low. However, he was still shocked to see that Sima You Yue took less than half of the time to refine the eighth-grade medicinal herb.
An eighth-grade alchemist who is over two hundred years old, no wonder she has such confidence!
“Do you know how to do arrays?” Another teacher asked her.
Sima You Yue smiled at him, her body slowly disappeared under their gaze, and then slowly appeared again under their shock.
This hand made everyone uneasy. They just watched her disappear, but they didn’t feel any fluctuations. If they hadn’t been staring at her, they wouldn’t have noticed that she had just disappeared from the room and reappeared.
“Are you going to test me on other subjects?” Sima You Yue asked.
“What else do you know?”
“Refining armaments, taming beasts, seeking spirits, and medicine and poisoning….” Sima You Yue replied.
D
If they hadn’t seen her show her skills with these two hands just now, they might have believed that she was just dabbling. The fact that she can say that they can ask questions at will, also shows that she was sure about the others.
“I take the liberty to ask, how high is your cultivation base now?”
Sima You Yue casually arranged a barrier, and then released part of her aura. Although only part of it, it still shocked everyone. And they saw that she didn’t fully reveal her strength. It should be said that she has reached a level that they have never touched.
“Headmaster, have I been hired?” She looked at the old Headmaster and asked.
“I have another question.” The old Headmaster did not have the excitement that he had seen a genius, instead, he asked with apprehension, “Why do you want to come here to be a teacher?”
When he asked, the other teachers also quieted down. This question was very important, why would someone like her with such caliber come here to be a teacher?
“I’m looking for someone, and my friend thinks that he and I have a master-disciple relationship in this academy.” Sima You Yue said, “So you don’t have to worry about me having any bad intentions.”
“Then what kind of teacher do you want to be?” That means she was hired. “Cultivation then.” Sima You Yue thought that Fu Xi had said that she would lead that person to entry, and that would be the best way to cultivate.
No, those who can enter the academy already have a certain cultivation foundation, so how do you lead him to the entrance?
“Cough, um, I’m going to teach alchemy instead.” She looked at the old Headmaster with a smile, “Is it alright?”
“Yes.” The old Headmaster didn’t ask much for such an extra teacher. He has already seen that she was a strong exponent who will not stay in the academy for a long time. She will leave here when her business was done, so she was the same as any teacher. He pointed at the round-faced teacher and said, “This is Dong Li, the head of the alchemy department, and he will arrange all your affairs for you.”
“Senior Dong Li, I’ll be in your care.” Sima You Yue saluted towards Dong Li.
“Since you’ve been assigned to me, let me familiarize you with the environment. Just right, when the new students arrive in a few days, you can take their class.” Dong Li led her away.
Sima You Yue obediently followed and left.
“Headmaster, why did you promise her?” Someone asked. It was too dangerous for such a person of unknown origin to be placed in the academy.
“Do you think she will leave the academy if I don’t agree? If she wants to stay here, do any of you have the strength to stop her?” The old Headmaster glanced at the person who was talking, “Instead of being on guard all the time, it’s better to agree and let her be here on the bright side. Well, you can leave already if there’s nothing else.”
Dong Li took her around the alchemy department before bringing her to a vacant courtyard.
“This courtyard is close to the back mountain, a little far from the teaching area, and a little small. You can stay her for a while, and I’ll change it for you when we have a bigger courtyard.” Dong Li said.
Sima You Yue looked at the courtyard, it was not big for a teacher, but she never had any requirements for these, she lived in all sizes.
“No, that’s it. It’s better to be far away from the teaching area, quiet.” She felt that the environment was just right, and it was not easy to find such a quiet place in a noisy academy.
“That’s good, you can tell me what you want at any time.” Dong Li said, took out a stack of papers, and said, “This is the introduction and rules of our college, you can take a look at it when you have time. As a teacher, you can’t just try to pull a fast one over the new students, can you?”
Sima You Yue took it over, sent Dong Li away, then cleaned the room, and started her teaching career here.
