Chapter 90: Mixed Martial Arts

Yu Jinli didn’t try to persuade Gao Ziqi and the others to listen to the teacher for he found that no matter how noisy his classmates were, the teacher still delivered his lecture without any expression and didn’t seem to care about what the students were doing at all. His brows knitted. Anger flared up in him. How can a teacher be so irresponsible when he is important in instructing students? Why are the students here if not for the teachers’ guidance? That reminded Yu Jinli of his master shifu, who was a gentle soul. Not much of a cultivation material, Yu Jinli might not be able to take the form of a human by now if he weren’t lucky. Before he turned into a human, his master shifu instructed him with tenderness and care. No matter how lucky he was, he wouldn’t have done it by himself without master shifu’s help. Therefore, he had always looked up to teachers. However, the one at the teacher’s desk right now didn’t evoke the same emotion in him. Yet, he couldn’t change his classmates’ opinion of the teacher. For now, he could only study hard and go to Ah Sheng for advice later. A class ended in Yu Jinli’s concentration on the lecture and other students’ chatting and joking. It was same as yesterday. Yu Jinli only understood part of the lecture with nobody answering his questions. He had no alternative but to put down all his questions so that he could go to Master Kameng for answers. If school is always like this, it is no fun. Yu Jinli thought. He had looked forward to school since he was in his previous world. Now he realized that dream but found school wasn’t as good as he imagined. If he didn’t learn anything here, would he disappoint dad and mom? Lost in thought, Yu Jinli didn’t notice that the originally noisy classroom turned totally silent in an instant. There were only his occasional sighs. Feeling a tug at his sleeve, he looked sideways and found Liu Xingye had moved to the seat beside him without him noticing it. He said happily: “So, your fight is over?” His voice went up, followed by gasps in fright. Only by now did he realize the oddity in the room. “What, what is happening to everyone?” Yu Jinli asked in a voice he considered small enough. What he didn’t know was that even a small voice would be heard in a room which was so quiet that one could hear a needle drop. Liu Xingye’s body turned stiff at once. He wanted to cover his careless friend’s mouth desperately. This isn’t time to speak! What if he annoys the one at the teacher’s desk? “Da, da, da.” The sound of leather shoes clicking on the floor rose. Yu Jinli finally realized someone had joined them in the classroom. Instinctively, he looked over and saw an extremely familiar face. As expected, Ah Sheng didn’t lie to him about seeing him in the afternoon. He did come to see him. Excitedly, Yu Jinli wanted to call him and share everything with him. However, suddenly aware of the atmosphere in the room, the usually careless boy stopped himself from doing that. Jiang Mosheng, who was giving off coldness with a poker face all this time, took back his coldness the moment Yu Jinli looked at him and switched to a milder expression, which was difficult to find if one didn’t look closely. “From now on, I am your instructor for mixed martial arts. I’m Jiang Mosheng.” Jiang Mosheng made a brief self-introduction, which was also the reason he was here. Immediately, that set off a small explosion in the classroom. If it wasn’t for Jiang Mosheng’s imposing bearing, the students might have already worked themselves into a frenzy. However, that couldn’t stop their unspoken thoughts. [Omg! National Prince Charming Major General Jiang is here in my class as my mixed martial arts instructor! Aw aw aw! My Prince Charming is my instructor! No matter how difficult it is, I’ll be in his class!] [Idol! I’ve seen my idol today! In person! So close! I want to go up to him and ask for an autograph! Someone stop me!] [Ahhh! I’m so close to my idol! He sure lives up to his name! With such an imposing bearing! I almost wanted to get down on my knees just now!] [Prince Charming is my instructor! I won’t skip a class! Please instruct me one by one! I’ll lay down my life without regret even if for once!] Though the students’ thoughts went wild, no matter how excited they were, they didn’t dare to made a sound with flushes, afraid to make their idol unhappy. Having their idol as the instructor felt as good as if burying themselves in Grade A energy cards. Yu Jinli was also surprised to hear it. Unlike other students, he was filled with pure joy. That meant he would be able to see Ah Sheng more often. It was the best news. By now, he had already forgot about his idea of quitting school. “Get to the training site in a minute. Those who can’t do it don’t need to attend my lessons anymore!” Jiang Mosheng’s eyes were on Yu Jinli all this time, with a tender look. However, his word was harsh. As he finished speaking, he turned around and left. Time froze in the classroom for a few seconds, then there was a deafening cheer, loud enough to tear the whole building down. “God, tell me I’m not daydreaming. I just saw Major General Jiang who is our instructor for mixed martial arts.” Gao Ziqi said excitedly to his friends. If his family hadn’t wanted him to be a Card Forger, he would have gone to Mutant School and become a solider as good as his idol. It was a pity that Card Forger was the first choice for many people. It was considered that only those who didn’t have inner focus would settle for other majors. However, not everyone wanted to be a Card Forger, especially not boys, who would like to face their enemies on the battlefield instead of staying under protection. With a small number of Card Forgers, the Federation wouldn’t give up on anyone who had a chance to become a Card Forger. Well, Class F was definitely an exception. One moment, Gao Ziqi was speaking with excitement. The next moment, he let out a terrifying howl which sent chills over his classmates’ skin. “Du! Jingxuan! Why do you pinch me?” With his angry eyes on Du Jingxuan, Gao Ziqi looked like he was going to kill him if he didn’t have a satisfying answer from the guy. “To tell you that you are not daydreaming. Major General Jiang is indeed our instructor. Besides, you only have 30 seconds to get to the training site.” As soon as he said that, Du Jingxuan disappeared from the classroom in a flash. The rest of the students whined loudly as if awakening from a dream and rushed out hastily, afraid they might give their Prince Charming a bad impression if they were late. Usually, students of Class F were most difficult to discipline, who didn’t obey teacher’s orders. However, at this moment, each and every one of them was as meek as a domestic cat, standing in line in front of Jiang Mosheng. Yu Jinli rushed over after Liu Xingye. However, he could only take a spot in the back because he was later than the majority. Not tall, he was blocked by the students in front of him. Therefore, he could only see the back of everyone’s head, not the handsome face of Jiang Mosheng. Jiang Mosheng looked around coldly. Not finding the small figure he wanted to see, the coldness around him became stronger, which almost had the group of students who were closest to him bend down. That revealed the little one who was standing at the back. Only by seeing him did Jiang Mosheng restrain his coldness with satisfaction. “Line up again in order of height!” said Jiang Mosheng coldly. All the students formed in a new line in the shortest possible time, probably moving as efficiently as they had never done since they started school. The students all assembled and stood in a neat line, waiting excitedly for their idol’s instruction. However, a second passed, five seconds passed, then ten seconds passed... Jiang Mosheng just stood in front of them, watching quietly, without the slightest sign of opening his mouth. Everyone was confused, but they didn’t dare to raise objections in front of Jiang Mosheng, so they could only remain where they were. A minute passed... the door to the training site was opened, and several handsome men and women in military uniforms ran over and stopped in front of Jiang Mosheng, giving him a standard military salute. “Members of Divine Beast are here!” said Azure Dragon in a serious tone. “Wow!” Hearing that, students of Class F widened their eyes, couldn’t control their surprise. They were so lucky today! Not only did they see their idol who used to only live in the legends, but they also saw the members of their idol’s team. This was... heaven! “Azure Dragon, you take care of the students. The rest of you, go back to training!” Jiang Mosheng told members of Divine Beast. “Yes, sir!” All seven members accepted the order from their chief without objection. Students of Class F were a bit disappointed to hear that Jiang Mosheng wasn’t going to instruct them. However, the thought of a member of Divine Beast as their instructor cheered them up. Besides, they got to see other members in training, which was a rare opportunity. “You are all students of Card Forger School and you will become Card Forgers in the future. As a Card Forger, you need professional skills as well as a strong body. Card Forgers need to go to battlefields too. If you don’t have a strong physique, you might hold your companions back!” Azure Dragon spoke to these slothful rookies in a solemn manner. “Don’t think it is enough just to become a Card Forger. A powerful Card Forger also has to follow the soldiers to the battlefield for the battlefield is unpredictable and no one knows whether the energy cards they have with them will run out. If that does happen, then Card Forgers need to replenish energy cards. Although Card Forgers do not need to go into battle to kill the enemy like soldiers and will be protected in the rear, nobody can be sure what the battlefield is really like. In case the enemy breaks through, a Card Forger with a strong physique might be able to save himself. At least he won’t be a drag on his companions.” That was one of the reasons why the academy assigned mixed martial arts classes to students of Card Forger School. Only with improved physical fitness could they make more energy cards and have the ability to defend themselves. In the past, students of Class F had been as perfunctory as they could in mixed martial arts classes, and the teacher had been too hampered by the students’ powerful background to force them to do anything. This was the first time that students of Class F felt the importance of mixed martial arts class. Young and vigorous, none of them wanted to become a drag on others.
