Chapter 2 Stop bragging, you trashy inspection team, I'm not joining!
At Xuanzi's insistence...
Yan Shaozhe reluctantly gave Liu Yuan's name.
After all, Xuanzi's status within Shrek Academy was much higher than his.
Although Yan Shaozhe is nominally the dean of the Spirit Martial Arts Department at Shrek Academy...
In reality, because Xuanzi was strong enough, he had always been the number two in Shrek Academy.
Apart from Moon, no one else held a higher position than him.
He was second only to the emperor and above all others.
Therefore, at this moment, Yan Shaozhe could only hand over Liu Yuan's name and at the same time, briefly explain his situation to Xuanzi.
"This Teacher Liu Yuan is a good candidate... He is young but already has considerable strength. When he first came to register half a year ago, he was already level 63. Now, half a year later, he is probably already level 64."
"Furthermore, his teaching ability is quite good; he has taught many outstanding students. He actually meets the requirements for joining the Inner Academy and the Supervisory Committee..."
After hearing Yan Shaozhe's words...
Xuanzi's eyes instantly became extremely bright.
He was filled with passion.
After hearing about Liu Yuan's deeds, I was incredibly excited.
"Oh? There's such a person?"
"Shao Zhe, you should have said so earlier! We should have let him join our inspection team a long time ago!"
After saying that, he planned to directly invite Liu Yuan to join.
But at that moment, Yan Shaozhe stopped him.
"Elder Xuan, don't be anxious."
"This Teacher Liu Yuan's abilities all meet the standards for joining our Shrek Academy. How could I not know that?"
"The main reason I haven't let him join our inner academy and the supervisory group is that he hasn't been with Shrek Academy for very long!"
"Now it's just the two of us here, so I won't hide anything anymore..."
"Elder Xuan, don't you know what Shrek Academy relies on to recruit inner court students or members of the inspection team?"
"It relied on the passion of the students and teachers! Plus our deception, trickery, coercion, and inducement!"
"Otherwise, how could we possibly convince them to join such an unpaid job where they could lose their lives at any moment?"
After hearing this, Elder Xuan did not refute it, after all, he knew Yan Shaozhe very well.
Only they themselves know what their inspection team is really for. The so-called "for the peace of Douluo Continent" is nothing more than a slogan they use to deceive students and young teachers.
Yan Shaozhe continued speaking:
"But Elder Xuan, I've been observing this Teacher Liu Yuan for a long time. He's not someone you can easily fool."
"In other words, if we only want to use the slogans of passion and justice, it will be difficult to get him to join the Supervisory Committee and our Shrek Academy's inner court."
"So my original plan was to have him stay at Shrek Academy for a few more years. The longer he stayed, the more attached he would become. Then we could use that attachment to our academy to our advantage."
"But if it were now, I feel the chances of him agreeing to join would be slim."
Yan Shaozhe had already expressed all his concerns.
But Xuanzi was in a great hurry to use people, so after a moment of silence, he spoke again:
"This is easy to handle."
"I'll try inviting him politely first. If he's willing, that would be great. If not, then I'll just have to resort to more forceful methods."
Yan Shaozhe frowned: "What are you going to do...?"
Xuanzi replied with a cold laugh, "If he doesn't want to join, I'll expel him. Of course, I'm just trying to scare him. But I believe that once he knows he'll be expelled if he doesn't join the Inner Court and the Supervisory Group, he'll come back and join without hesitation."
Xuanzi said with a confident expression, "Our Shrek Academy is the number one academy on the Douluo Continent. Joining our Shrek Academy is the dream of all teachers and students."
"If I explain the status of the Inner Academy to him, I believe we won't have come to this point. Even if we did, would he really be willing to give up his position as a teacher at Shrek Academy? That's a huge honor!"
Yan Shaozhe breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
But he also knew that he definitely couldn't persuade Xuanzi.
Xuanzi is an extremely stubborn person. Once he makes a decision, it is generally difficult to change his mind, regardless of whether it is right or wrong.
Unless Moon intervenes, it's clear that many things at Shrek Academy cannot be entirely handled by Moon.
Therefore, Yan Shaozhe could only say helplessly, "Elder Xuan, you're too hasty."
Xuanzi said helplessly, "I can't help it! The batch of students who just replaced us last time were too useless. They almost all died after just a few missions. Otherwise, would I need to go through all this trouble to find new members?"
"I'm tired too!"
He also saw Yan Shaozhe's concerns, so he quickly smiled and said, "But don't worry, Shaozhe, I will definitely handle this matter properly."
"He's just a Soul Emperor at level sixty-something. I can handle him with ease. Even if he's unhappy afterward, he's already joined, so what can he do?"
After Xuanzi finished speaking, he left Yan Shaozhe's office and went to find Liu Yuan.
...
Meanwhile, at Liu Yuan's home.
He went home early after leaving Shrek Academy.
He lay down on the sofa to rest, and just then he saw the calendar on the side. He reached out, picked it up, and carefully flipped through it.
"Speaking of which... this year's freshmen should be enrolling soon, right?"
He came to this conclusion after glancing at the calendar a few times.
At Shrek Academy, the upperclassmen actually start school about a month earlier than the lowerclassmen, so he calculated that the new students should be enrolling soon.
Moreover, Liu Yuan also knew that this year's freshmen were extraordinary.
Because when he was teaching at a lower-level academy, he taught a student named Xiao Xiao.
She is also a popular character in the original novel, and is a classmate of Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er.
Therefore, by deducing her information, Liu Yuan could also deduce that Xiao Xiao, Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong'er, and others would be freshmen in this year's class.
Thinking of this, Liu Yuan stroked his chin.
"Hmm... I'll see if I can find an opportunity to transfer to teach first grade..."
He definitely wants to go to first grade.
After all, the rules of the [Teacher System] are clearly written.
The more talented a student is, the greater the reward for teaching them.
And Huo Yuhao, Xiao Xiao, Wang Dong'er, Ning Tian, Dai Huabin, and other new students are definitely all highly promising...
The reason Liu Yuan came to Shrek Academy to teach was simply to develop better, improve his strength faster, and become the strongest person on the Douluo Continent, free from the threats and harm of others.
So now that there's a better opportunity for advancement, he has no reason not to take it.
Therefore, he lay on the sofa and kept thinking about what method he should use to change shifts.
Knock knock knock!
However, at that moment, a crisp knocking sound suddenly rang out.
Upon hearing the knock on the door, Liu Yuan raised an eyebrow.
But he quickly went out and opened the door.
Creak!
Liu Yuan opened the door, and the person outside immediately appeared.
The person who came was naturally Xuanzi.
Since he couldn't find Liu Yuan at school, he went straight to his house.
He was gnawing on a chicken leg while smiling as he sized up Liu Yuan.
"Why is it this old ghost?"
Although Liu Yuan knew that the person in front of him was Xuanzi.
But he was unwilling to acknowledge him.
He could only pretend not to recognize Xuanzi and ask, "You've come to the wrong place, haven't you? I don't know you!"
Xuanzi laughed heartily: "You've come to the right place! I am Xuanzi, the elder of the Sea God Pavilion of Shrek Academy! I've come to see you today because of something good!"
After he finished speaking, he strode in and sat down on the sofa without any ceremony.
Upon hearing this, Liu Yuan could only become even more vigilant.
He cut to the chase and asked, "Oh, I see..."
"I wonder, is there something you need from me?"
Xuanzi replied directly, "Teacher Liu Yuan! I'm here on behalf of Shrek Academy to invite you to join our inner court and supervisory group!"
"You've been at Shrek Academy for so long, I'm sure you should know that we have an inner academy."
"Those who can join our Shrek Academy's inner court are the elite of the elite. You are truly blessed!"
"Furthermore, you can join our Shrek Academy Inspection Team and become a member. This Inspection Team is even more powerful. After joining, you will wield great power and contribute to the peace and stability of our Douluo Continent. You will become the guardian deity of our Douluo Continent!"
Xuanzi kept boasting.
In just a few words, they practically lauded Shrek Academy's inner court and supervisory committee to the skies.
Moreover, it must be said that he was very skilled at it, and it seems that this was not the first time he had used these lines.
But how could Liu Yuan not know his tricks?
The so-called Shrek Inner Academy is actually no different from the Shrek Outer Academy.
Because in terms of teacher resources, they are essentially the same.
Joining this so-called Shrek Inspection Team is like going to jail within jail.
No salary! No official status! No job security!
This Shrek Inspection Team is even more capitalist than Liu Yuan was in his previous life!
Once you join such an organization, you will be exploited until you complete twenty missions for Shrek Academy before you can leave!
Would Liu Yuan really be such a sucker?
The answer is no.
Therefore, he couldn't even be bothered to listen to Xuanzi continue his boasting.
At this very moment, Xuanzi was still rambling on about how outstanding Shrek Academy's inner court and inspection team were... how high his status would become after joining Shrek Academy's inner court and inspection team, constantly fantasizing that Liu Yuan would excitedly agree to his request after listening to him.
But Liu Yuan didn't even let him finish speaking before directly expressing his own attitude.
"I'm sorry, Elder Xuan."
"I have no interest in joining Shrek Academy's inner court or the oversight body."
"Please leave."
He directly rejected Xuanzi.
After Liu Yuan's cold words fell.
Xuanzi's face also became completely blank.
