Chapter 22: Right Course, Right Teacher(1/2)
"I never expected that I, the grand and powerful little card king of Qixing Street in the imperial capital, would be reduced to working as a teacher in such a remote mountain nook."
Li Fan put his legs on the small table and muttered to himself with a hint of sadness and anger.
Although the tent was filled with smoke at this time, he still lit a cigarette skillfully.
As a new teacher at Xidu University, Li Fan only has one class this semester.
That is the summoner skill, [Sprint].
[Sprint]: The summoner consumes mental power and gains a large speed increase in a short period of time.
Among summoners, this is a very popular skill.
Because compared to [Flash], although its effect lasts longer, it is far inferior in flexibility.
After all, [Flash] can directly travel through terrain and obstacles, but normal [Sprint] cannot do this.
Moreover, the specific bonus of [Sprint] depends on the summoner's own strength. If his own strength is average, the effect will not be much better.
This [Sprinting] course open to freshmen has only two teachers.
The total number of places to accept new students is 53.
One teacher occupies 50 people, and the remaining 3 people belong to Li Fan.
This was requested by Li Fan himself, because he didn't want to teach any students at all.
To put it bluntly, I just don’t want to be a teacher and I don’t know how to be a teacher.
My own appointment at Xidu University was just a result of a bet at the card table.
Because this attitude was expressed very early, and because the teaching effect of the new teacher was not yet clear, the school allowed Li Fan's application for a quota.
"It's a waste of time to go to the wilderness to set up a tent."
"I will never have a student choice."
He believed that with the new teacher's name and [Sprint]'s unpopularity, no students would choose him today.
If there are no students, there will naturally be no need for classes.
While you feel relaxed and happy, you are also fulfilling your bet.
Let's see, it's not that I don't want to teach, it's that the students don't choose me.
However, what Li Fan never expected was that a new student walked into his tent just as the course selection officially began.
"Hello teacher, I want to learn [Sprint]."
It was familiar again, and Li Pu made his opening remarks as soon as he came in this time.
"..."
Li Fan was holding a cigarette in his mouth, his expression stagnant.
Isn't that right? Is g going to be slapped in the face soon?
"Come and sit."
Feeling guilty, he asked Li Pu to sit down.
After all, you can't reject students directly, you have to find a way to persuade them to leave.
However, just a few steps after Li Pu came over, Li Fan was stunned again.
This kid... is a cripple?
Could it be that you want to learn [Sprint] because you want to make up for your own shortcomings?
I have to say that this gave him some sympathy.
But even if he had good intentions, he still had to say something to persuade him to retreat.
"I probably understand your intention."
"Actually, this place is not suitable for you. I hope you will consider it again."
"Although [Sprint] can temporarily increase the speed significantly, its effectiveness is greatly reduced for people with limited legs and feet."
Li Fan's explanation is the truth.
Li Pu, who originally thought he would be greeted by another test paper, disagreed when he heard this.
Who has inconvenient legs and feet?
I feel like this summoner skill is exactly what he wants.
If the speed is greatly increased, wouldn't it be faster if you put it on yourself?
It's simply not great.
Moreover, this teacher is willing to give advice based on the personal situation of the new students, so he should be a good and responsible teacher.
Li Pu couldn't help but feel a little fond of him.
But after thinking about it, I am now choosing courses after all.
To put it bluntly, it is the freshmen who choose their courses and their teachers, not the teachers who choose them.
"Teacher, I want to ask a question."
So Li Pu decided to take the initiative.
"If you are chased by a monster, there is a path ahead..."
"No need to worry, the monsters will never be able to catch up with me."
Unexpectedly, Li Fan interrupted the question with his hand without thinking.
Of course, confidence is one aspect of acting like this.
But on the other hand, he also deliberately wanted to give the other person a feeling of being difficult to get along with.
(Never choose me, never choose me, never choose me, never choose me...)
On the surface he kept a straight face, but in fact he was praying secretly in his heart.
However, Li Fan's calculations came to nothing in the end, and this answer made Li Pu's eyes light up slightly.
In tune.
It seems that this teacher is the same as me.
[Sprint], the decision is yours.
"Teacher, please take more care of me this semester."
Thinking of this, he simply extended his hand to Li Fan.
"???"
The sudden situation made Li Fan immediately confused.
Why is it completely the opposite of what I imagined!
Did this kid not hear what I said clearly just now?
"No, I just said..."
"It's okay, I understand."
"Let me tell you in advance, my class is very..."
"No need to say any more, teacher, you are here."
This time it was Li Pu's turn to interrupt Li Fan twice in a row.
Li Fan saw the unwavering color in the other person's eyes.
"..., okay."
In the end, he could only respond with a dark face.
Even though I was showing off, other students had already talked about it, so there was no room for them to persuade me to back down.
He just wanted to play cards quietly, so why did he really become a teacher?
Li Fan's figure, which was already slumped in his position, became even more decadent.
…
According to the procedure, Li Pu can go back after completing his course selection.
As a result, before I left, I received notifications from other teachers.
Due to the rampant monsters in the forest, all freshmen must gather on the hillside and be escorted back by the teacher team.
So Li Pu had nowhere to go, so he simply stayed in Li Fan's tent.
After waiting for about an hour, the fog in the forest was almost gone.
Teams of freshmen arrived one after another and began their course selections.
At about this time, Li Pu sensed that the straw man had finally arrived on the hillside.
To be continued...
