Chapter 12: Master
"Stinky boy, you're looking for death." What a shame it was for an adult to be a child, the porter was furious, and he got up from the ground and was about to rush towards Tang San.
"Alright, stop it." Just then, a somewhat hoarse voice sounded, stopping the porter's movements.
The porter was stunned for a moment, and then, the anger on his face suddenly turned into flattery, and the change was unimaginable, and he nodded to the person who came: "Master, you are back." ”
Tang San turned his head to look, and a man of medium stature and a slight thinness didn't know when he had come to them. It seems that this person is about forty or fifty years old, with short black hair parted from three or seven, his appearance is very ordinary, his hands are behind his back, but he has a special temperament on his body, and his eyes are open and closed with a little laziness and decadence.
The 'master' just glanced at the porter, ignored him, and said to Old Jack, "Old sir, can you show me the proof of the Martial Spirit Palace?" ”
After all, Old Jack is from the village chief, and he can still observe words and feelings, and from the expression of the porter, it can be seen that the status of the middle-aged man in front of him in the academy is definitely not low, not to mention that there is the title of master there. Hurriedly handed over the certificate in his hand.
The master looked at the proof, then shifted his gaze to Tang San, and looked him up and down a few times, I don't know why, although the master's gaze was not sharp, but Tang San had a feeling of being seen transparently.
"It's true, sir, I apologize to you on behalf of the academy for what happened just now. Leave this child to me. ”
A figure who was at least a soul master apologized to himself, and Old Jack's vanity was greatly satisfied, and he hurriedly shook his hands and said, "No need to apologize, no need to apologize." We're not good either. Master, then these two children will trouble you. Junior, Yan'er, you follow the master in, but you must be obedient. ”
We nodded, but didn't speak.
Before, just as the master in front of him stopped the porter from rushing towards him, his left hand had already been raised, and the safety on the Hidden Arrow had been opened. If the master in front of him had spoken a little later, maybe there would have been an extra short arrow at the throat of the porter.
[General Outline of the Xuantian Treasure Record of the Tang Gate, Article 3, determine that the opponent is the enemy, as long as he has a way to die, don't show mercy to his subordinates, otherwise he will only add trouble to himself]
In Tang San's opinion, the porter's move to an old man like Jack, coupled with his meanness, already had a way to die. At the same time, he was absolutely sure that no one, including Old Jack, would find out that the Hidden Arrow was sent by him. Without evidence, who can say that he killed someone? The silent arrow of the Tang Gate is extremely fast, and there will only be a shadow, and how can it be dodged by goods like the gatehouse.
After Jack told Tang San a few more words, he left.
I feel like I'm a backdrop! Remember me when you speak, and I'm air at other times! If you give me some scenes, I won't be a backdrop!
The master glanced at the porter lightly, "This is the first and last time, if you commit another offense, you don't need to stay." His voice was hoarse and calm, but there was an irrefutable feeling.
Cold sweat broke out behind the porter, and he hurriedly flashed to the side.
The Master looked down at us, a smile on his face, the muscles of his face seemed to be a little stiff, and the way he laughed was a little flattering. He took us by the hand and said, "Let's go in." ”
The master's hands are soft and dry, and they are very comfortable to hold, which invisibly brings us a sense of trust. Under his leadership, we finally entered the academy.
"Thank you, teacher." We said to the Master.
"Teacher? I'm not a teacher at the academy. The master glanced down at us and said lightly.
"Not a teacher? Didn't you just say that you represent the Academy? ”
The master shook his head, he had always been impatient, but he was extremely tolerant today, and once again squeezed out a trace of that ugly smile, "Who said that the teachers of the academy must represent the academy?" ”
Tang San suddenly said, "I understand, then you must be the principal of the academy, or the leader." ”
The master laughed and said, "You are a six-year-old child, and you are very smart. Still, you're wrong. ”
Tang San said suspiciously, "Then who are you?" ”
The master said, "I'm just a guest here to eat and drink. You, like everyone else, call me Master. That's what everyone calls me. I've even forgotten my name. The certificate of the Wuhun Hall says that your name is Tang San, your sister's name is Tang Duyan, Tang San, Tang Duyan, you must understand that the meaning of the master and the teacher is very different, don't call it wrong in the future. Unless ......"
Speaking of this, he listened to his words, but his eyes flashed with a burning light, "Unless you are really willing to let me be your teacher." ”
"Do you want to teach me how to cultivate martial spirits?" Tang San asked.
The master stopped and stood still facing Tang San, "Then would you like to?" ”
Tang San also naturally stopped, looking up at the master in front of him, at this time, he looked closely, and from bottom to top, he found that the master's mouth was a bit big, and his lips were also very thick. He didn't speak, neither said yes nor said no.
The master looked at Tang San's stunned eyes, and that stiff smile reappeared, "Okay, you are indeed a smart child. ”
Not opening your mouth has two meanings, one is not to refuse in a hurry, so as not to offend the master. The second is to ask the master with actions, why should I worship you as a teacher?
Like Old Jack, the master raised his hand and rubbed it on Tang San's head, "Talented, and so smart, it seems that I will also be persistent." How to say, you and your sister are also the third ~ fourth twin martial spirits in the past hundred years. ”
Listening to the master's words, Tang San was taken aback, watching the master's gaze suddenly change, his left wrist had been quietly raised, and there was a look of surprise in his eyes.
The old master god looked at us and smiled: "Aren't you very fast, why do I know that you are twin martial souls?" As he spoke, he shook the certificate that Old Jack had given him in his hand, "It's because of this certificate." Maybe other people can't see the flaws in it, but if I can't see it, then I don't deserve the word master. ”
"I have investigated six hundred and forty-seven people whose martial souls are Blue Silver Grass, and among them, there are sixteen who have soul power, and the probability is less than three percent. And even among the sixteen people who have soul power, none of them can exceed the first level of soul power, but you are the tenth level of innate soul power. According to one of the ten core competitiveness of the martial soul that I have studied, the size of the innate soul power is directly proportional to the quality of the martial soul. Blue Silver Grass obviously can't be satisfied, so, I'm sure that you should have another martial soul, and a very powerful martial soul. As for Tang Duyan, no one has seen her other side flower martial soul for nearly 10,000 years, if the strength is strong, the other side flower can indeed be satisfied, but you and Tang San are brother and sister, I am sure that you are also a twin martial soul. ”
Tang San's eyes gradually calmed down, and he retorted, "There are exceptions to everything, why can't we be a special case?" ”
The master nodded seriously and said, "That's right, there are exceptions to everything, but your martial soul is Blue Silver Grass, so you are obviously not that exception." In the past hundred years, although there have only been two twin martial souls, there have been nineteen people who are born with full soul power, and I have carefully studied the martial souls of each of them, all of them are powerful existences, and the youngest one has now reached the level of a great soul master. Except for the fourteen powerful martial spirits inherited from the family lineage, there are five exceptions. ”
"Their origins are not noble, but they also possess innate soul power. And this kind of accident is the existence of mutated martial spirits. And according to my research on mutated martial souls for so many years, no kind of martial soul and Blue Silver Grass martial soul will mutate. And your Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul is an ordinary Blue Silver Grass, so I am completely sure that my judgment is correct. ”
"Mutant Martial Spirit, what's that?" Tang San asked.
The master patiently explained: "This is the first question of how the martial soul is inherited. The martial soul that a person has has a direct relationship with the martial soul of his parents, and the most normal situation is that he has inherited the martial soul of either his father or mother. This is the family-style martial soul inheritance. And some of these exceptions are the so-called mutated martial spirits. The source is also the martial soul of the parents, but because the martial soul between the father and the mother has a certain degree of variability, the martial soul of the inherited person will mutate and produce a new martial soul. Mutated martial souls can be mutated and powerful, and even appear innate full of soul power. But the vast majority of mutated martial souls will only become weak. The mutant martial soul is like a product of the marriage of close relatives, and there is a high chance of being an idiot, but it is also possible that there may be a wise man who is far beyond ordinary people. ”
Tang San nodded, and suddenly, he took a step back, widening the distance between himself and the master, and then, he fell to the ground on his knees and kowtowed respectfully to the master.
This time, it was the master's turn to be stunned, "What are you doing?" ”
"Teacher." Tang San shouted respectfully, "Please accept me as an apprentice." ”
I was also frightened, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed with Tang San.
The master smiled, smiled with satisfaction, bent down and pulled us up, "Silly boy, why do you want to kowtow to the master, don't you know that this is the etiquette of only worshipping the king and parents?" Just take a bow and you're good to go. ”
The habits of the Douluo Continent were obviously different from the situation in Tang San's first life, but Tang San didn't think that his etiquette was too much, and said solemnly: "One day as a teacher, a lifetime as a father." You deserve my bow. ”
The Tang Sect was very strict with the teaching of etiquette, and when he grew up with that kind of education, it had already been deeply imprinted in Tang San's heart.
The master looked at Tang San movingly, "A teacher for one day, a father for life, good, good, it seems that I really didn't make a mistake." Although the three of them have not been in contact for a long time, the master has a lot of knowledge about the two children in front of him.
"Let's go, I'll take you to the Academic Affairs Office to report." The master took our hands again, his large, dry hands sweating slightly from excitement.
The Notting Junior Soul Master Academy is not as large as it seems, and is mainly divided into several areas, the main teaching building, the playground, and the dormitory building on the east side of the playground.
Although it is only a junior soul master academy, the requirements for students here are also very strict, even if their home is next to the academy, students must live in the academy and accept unified management.
On the first floor of the main teaching building, a teacher who looks to be in his sixties is in charge of receiving new students, and two young teachers in their thirties.
The master put the certificate on the table and said to the older teacher, "Director Su, these are two work-study students sent by the Holy Soul Village this year, please help him register." ”
Director Su said with a smile on his face: "Master, why are you here, rare guest!" Sit down for a while. ”
The master shook his head and said to us, "You register here, and these teachers will tell you how to do it." I'll go first, and I'll go back to you. ”
Tang San nodded and said respectfully, "Goodbye, teacher." ”
The master smiled, touched his head, and turned away.
Hearing Tang San's address to the master, Director Su seemed very interested, "Kid, you call the master teacher?" He's not a teacher at our academy. ”
Tang San and I said, "But he is our teacher. ”
Director Su was stunned, "You worship the master as a teacher?" His expression was a little strange, an expression that wanted to laugh and couldn't help it.
Tang San said, "Is there anything wrong?" Teacher. ”
Director Su shook his head again and again and said with a smile: "No, no." I didn't expect the master to accept apprentices. However, you are still students of this academy, and you will also have to abide by the rules and regulations of the academy in the future, do you understand? ”
Tang San nodded. I'm just like a statue that doesn't move, because there's no subdivision of me at all.
The two young teachers next to Director Su were not as good as him, and one of them took the certificate of the Martial Spirit Hall and looked at it, and said with a smile, "Tang San, Tang Duyan is it." As a teacher at the Academy, I would like to remind you. The master is not a casual one. Any soul master, regardless of whether he graduated from the academy or not, can only recognize one master, otherwise, he will be rejected by the world. Do you really think the master is a good fit? Oh, you're still full of innate soul power. It's a pity that the martial soul is the Blue Silver Grass. But this flower is a little special, I've never seen it before. ”
Seeing the words of innate soul power on the certificate, the faces of the teachers present showed surprise, but the blue silver grass turned their surprise into regret, and they were shocked to see the flowers on the other side.
Tang San looked at the three academy teachers in front of him with some strangeness, "What's inappropriate?" ”
Director Su glared at the young teacher beside him and said, "Although the master has a strange personality, from a certain point of view, he is an 'invincible' existence in terms of martial souls. Anyway, your martial soul is also Blue Silver Grass, and it doesn't matter if you worship him as a teacher. Well, so be it. It's your stuff and it's distributed free of charge by the Academy. You live in room 7 of the dormitory. The teacher in charge there will arrange your job as a work-study student. Go ahead. ”
"Thank you." After receiving the things handed over by Director Su, we saluted and turned around and walked out of the Academic Affairs Office.
Director Su gave us a standard Notting Junior Soul Master Academy uniform, and the white texture looked very clean. As soon as he walked out of the Academic Affairs Office, Tang San vaguely heard the voice of the young teacher who had spoken before coming out of the Academic Affairs Office.
"The master is indeed 'invincible', but theoretically invincible. Of course, it also needs his theories to become reality. Director, I still remember that the master has a saying about the ten core competitiveness of martial souls. That's just ridiculous. ”
"Enough, the master is a friend of the dean. Do not judge yourself. While no one has proven his theory right, no one has ever proven his theory wrong. In the martial soul world, the master is a well-known figure. ”
"No, Director, it's supposed to be a famous clown. Everyone just thinks he's a joke. ”
Hearing the sound of conversation inside, Tang San's footsteps only paused slightly, and he continued to walk outside. There was a faint disdain at the corner of his mouth, of course, not for the master he had just recognized, but for the three teachers in the academic affairs office.
Is it just a joke to be able to see that he is a twin martial soul from a simple proof and conclude that his other martial soul is very powerful?
Invincible in theory? What I need most now is theory. The power of the master cannot be passed on to the apprentice, but the knowledge is imparted. These people don't even understand this, and it's a shame that they are teachers in the academy.
There is only one dormitory building, which is easy to find, and the students and teachers of the college live here. As Old Jack said, there are very few people who can become soul masters, especially in a remote city like Nordin. The number of students and teachers in the entire academy is not large, and a dormitory building is already completely affordable.
There are only seven dormitories for students in total, because the students of the Junior Soul Master Academy are relatively young, in order to better manage them, so the students of each grade live in a large dormitory. And the number of students in each grade of the Notting Junior Soul Master Academy is only about forty.
The lower three floors of the dormitory building host seven large dormitories where students live, each of which has a teacher in charge.
The seven dormitories are the most special of the seven student dormitories, and the conditions are also the worst, and they are specially designed for working students. After all, the college is not a good hall, and although the tuition fees of work-study students are reduced, the treatment cannot be as good as that of ordinary students.
It is also the only dormitory with a mixed age group, where all working students, regardless of grade, live.
As soon as we got to the door of the Seven Houses, we heard a commotion coming from inside, the door was open, and he walked to the door and looked in.
It was a large room, nearly three hundred square meters, with a total of fifty beds, but only beds, and only eleven bedding beds, and at this time, there were seven or eight children between the ages of eight and twelve.
Tang San knocked on the door, and the eyes of the children who spoke suddenly turned in his direction, and one of the older children looked at Tang San, who was dressed in patches, and walked towards him.
This kid was nearly two heads taller than Tang San, and his figure was already relatively burly at his age, and when he walked up to Tang San, he looked at him a little condescendingly and said, "New work-study student? ”
A kind smile appeared on our faces, "Hello, we are work-study students from Holy Soul Village. ”
"My name is Wang Sheng, and the martial soul is a war tiger, a future war soul master. It's also the head of this place, what's your name? What is Martial Soul? ”
"My name is Tang San, and my martial soul is Blue Silver Grass."
"My name is Tang Duyan, and the martial soul is the flower of the other side."
"Blue Silver Grass? When will the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul also be able to cultivate? Wang Sheng put on a look of extreme surprise, and most of the children in the dormitory burst into laughter, looking at Tang San's eyes as if they were looking at an idiot.
"But the other side of the flower can't be fake, right, whose martial soul have you ever seen is the other side of the flower? Hahahaha. ”
