Yu Man's trouble is not big at all. It's just that Sister Qi's younger brother is also studying in the college. For some reason, he takes a fancy to Yu Man and starts pursuing him.
"Then do you agree?" Ding Meng asked.
Yu Man smiled bitterly and said, "How could I agree?"
Ding Meng nodded. These guys didn't look like good birds. It was reasonable for Yu Man not to agree.
"But Lei Bao and the others all charge a fee." Yu Man suddenly said in a confused manner.
"What's the fee?" Ding Meng was curious again, "What's the fee?"
Yu Man said helplessly: "After many students in the school were promoted to source energy users, they would ask this classmate to charge money privately, in the name of better imparting cultivation experience, and the people they charged money for were all from poor families.
classmate……"
Ding Meng still couldn't understand: "Does the school not care about them?"
Yu Man frowned and said: "The school can't control it. This is a voluntary principle. Besides, paid services are also tacitly approved by the school. But if anyone refuses, they will deal with this person..."
"This is just protection money." Ding Meng understood a little bit. To put it bluntly, Sister Qi was using this to blackmail Yu Man. No wonder she said to herself just now, "She has already taken care of her." It seems that Sister Qi regards herself as such.
There is a new student in the college.
Yu Man sighed: "It's almost just protection money."
Ding Meng couldn't help but sigh. He always thought that only unreasonable places like refugee camps, asylums, colonies, and black gold bases were like this. He never thought that unfair phenomena also existed in normal society: "It seems
This Lei Bao is also a labor leader!"
Yu Man said: "What boss?"
"Nothing." Ding Meng quickly waved his hand, "Sister Man, let's go, it's important to attend the lecture."
Unfairness exists not only among students, but also among teachers. In a dilapidated building in the west of the teaching area, Ding Meng finally saw the so-called "classical swordsmanship" classroom. He couldn't believe it.
With my own eyes, this two-story bungalow is actually a "classroom"? Yu Man's home is much better than this classroom.
"Did we go to the wrong place?" Ding Meng asked suspiciously.
Yu Man said helplessly: "Classical swordsmanship is a very unpopular major. Not many people like it. That's because there are not many students to study. Therefore, the resources provided by the school are very limited. They are reduced one year at a time. This is already considered good this year.
Already."
"Okay." Ding Meng had no choice but, since he's already here, let's go in.
The classroom looks to be less than 500 square meters, just like the training room of Haohan Martial Arts School, but the facilities are far inferior to that of the Martial Arts School. Look at the broken windows, which are actually made of original glass, and several pieces are broken. At the very least, there is no sound insulation.
There is no effect.
There is a large open space in the center without even a table or chair, just a row of cotton cushions used as seats. As for the podium... a rotten wooden table directly in front is the podium, which is comparable to the small table in the cabin, and
The most terrible thing is that he doesn't even have a brain. Ding Meng is really curious, how should a teacher of this classical swordsmanship teach?
In fact, these are not the most important things. What stunned Ding Meng the most was that there were only six students sitting on the cotton mat in front of him. No matter how unpopular the unpopular subjects were, they would not be so unpopular. Even those who came to listen to the lectures
None of the students exceeded double digits.
In fact, we can’t blame the school for being stingy. After all, this is an era where source energy and technology coexist. Even the cold weapons on the battlefield, such as alloy blades, concussion knives, and serrated swords, which are developed with technology, also have considerable combat power.
, who has eaten too much to study classical swordsmanship? That cannot be called a practical subject, it should be called a cultural course, so this class is called "classical swordsmanship theory class", the word theory is the key point, as for swordsmanship
word, please ignore it.
The teacher walked in quickly. He was an old man with white hair. His eyes were gray and weak, his stature was short and stooped, and he walked with a limp. He looked like he was seriously ill.
.
Yu Man had told Ding Meng before that the teacher's real name was Zhao Yue, a descendant of the Huaxia tribe, and he was originally a soldier. He was seriously injured and contaminated with poison in the frontline battle with the Devouring World many years ago. Because he was not treated in time,
After the rescue, more than half of the source energy in the body was lost. Only one of the amputated legs was repaired, and the other had to be replaced with an alloy prosthesis.
The military may also have considered his outstanding military exploits and arranged for him to return to his hometown on TT12 after his retirement, where he served as a teacher at Listing Academy. He could be considered to be enjoying his old age in peace. The school also respected his dedication to the empire, and even the principal
They all respectfully call him "Old Zhao".
In fact, Mr. Zhao has no interest in teaching for a long time. In recent years, the number of students willing to come to learn classical swordsmanship has been getting fewer and fewer every year, which makes him frustrated. The teaching has long been reduced from practical exercises to theoretical lectures.
Zhou even had only three students come to attend the lecture, and he only lasted 10 minutes before three students fled.
Today was not a bad day. There were actually eight students waiting for him in the classroom. This made him feel a lot better, so he seemed a little energetic when he came to the podium:
"Since ancient times, the sword has been the best in the military. From the beginning of humankind, the weapon we use is the sword. It can be said that the sword has a history of tens of thousands of years and has not been eliminated yet, which shows its value and existence.
For actual combat purposes, it washes away the bloody atmosphere and leaves behind all the elegance, with agility and elegance as the priority..."
The five minutes of his opening speech really had an effect. Three students immediately turned off their wrist monitors, got up and left.
However, Mr. Zhao ignored it at all. He had seen this situation countless times, so he continued his speech:
"Why does the sword play a role on the battlefield? That is, your armor may be broken by the enemy, your firearms may have insufficient ammunition, your aircraft may not have enough power, and your source energy may not operate smoothly, but
The sword doesn't know that. It is the most loyal and will always be by your side. As long as you need it, it will be at your disposal at any time..."
Two more students stood up and walked outside the classroom.
"The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. The most critical thing is to be in close combat with the enemy. You don't have time to think. You have to pick up your weapon and fight quickly. At this time, the most convenient and fastest thing is your cold weapon..."
Not to mention that the academy’s ultimate goal is to train energy users. The students are also realistic and can’t learn any practical skills at first sight, so the last student also turned off the wrist device and stood up with a sigh. At least this man
The classmate was very civilized. He stood up and bowed: "Teacher Zhao, my next class time is coming soon. Thank you very much for teaching me. I will take my leave now."
This time, only Ding Meng and Yu Man were left in the empty classroom. In fact, Yu Man also felt drowsy after listening, but seeing that Ding Meng was very interested, she couldn't stand up and become a "deserter".
Be patient and continue listening.
Of course, Mr. Zhao was no longer interested in giving lectures at this time, but seeing Ding Meng's focused expression, he couldn't help but ask: "This classmate is very unfamiliar. I have never seen you before. Are you new?"
Classmate?"
Yu Man quickly stood up and explained: "Hello, Teacher Zhao, his name is Ding Meng. He is not a student of our college, but my cousin. He came to observe the class."
Students from other schools actually came to attend the class, and Mr. Zhao became interested for a moment: "This student Ding, do you usually practice cold weapons?"
Ding Meng scratched his head in embarrassment: "Hello, Teacher Zhao, I usually practice knives."
Mr. Zhao became even more curious: "How come you, a person who likes to use knives, come here to take a theoretical class on swordsmanship?"
