Chapter 600: 583: First Lesson of the School YearChapter 600: Chapter 583: First Lesson of the School Year

In the hearts of all Beastmen, despite not being tall and mighty, the wise Lord of the Tiger Clan must be beautiful and wise, right?

But when they actually saw him, they were stunned.

How could the Lord of Wisdom be so thin? It seemed a single claw could knock him over! He appeared even more harmless than a Rabbit Clan Beastman!

The Lord of Wisdom has no fur, how pitiable!

Mu Ying had no idea of the little schemes in the Beastmen’s minds.

Essentially, apart from walking upright, Beastmen’s limbs were like those of humans; however, their overall appearance remained beastly, especially their heads, which looked exactly like their beast forms. When facing Beastmen, she not only had face blindness but also couldn’t make out their subtle expressions.

Usually, she recognized Tiger Clan Beastmen by the wooden sign student IDs she issued to them.

After meeting with all the Beastmen, she ordered a welcome party to reward the returning Taiger and the newly arrived Beastmen from other clans.

The crowd followed her to the academy square, where she conjured stone tables out of thin air and labeled each with different Beastman Clan names, allowing Tiger Clan Beastmen who had learned some Universal Language characters to guide the new students to their seats.

Then, she raised a bonfire on the side where the carnivorous Beastmen were seated. Beef, lamb, pork, and chicken were all placed on the grill, automatically starting to barbecue.

On the side where the herbivorous Beastmen sat, there appeared many stone platforms, each piled with different fruits and vegetables.

The omnivorous Beastmen sat at the intersection in the middle.

All these actions were completed in just a few breaths.

Mu Ying heard the swallowing sounds from all around and felt confident that she had those new students well-handled. She used amplification magic and said,

“Welcome to the Beastman Academy. I am sure that on the way here, Taiger and others have told you a lot about my teaching goals. Some of you might still have doubts.

Let me take this opportunity at the dinner to talk about the outcomes you can achieve after completing the courses!

What you see before you are the subjects I plan to teach you. I have specifically asked the Tiger Clan students to carve name tags in both Universal Language and Beastman Language. Please look.

First, let’s discuss the breeding courses involving meat food options: there are four options available—cow, sheep, pig, and chicken, each with size variations...”

As Mu Ying presented the delectable foods that made the Beastmen drool, she introduced the horticultural and livestock components of the academy’s courses. No doubt, the lure of food made them more eager to learn about the upcoming classes.

The Beastmen, enticed by the aroma and listening to the Lord of Wisdom navigating through the food while explaining, found her diminutive figure had a voice louder than that of the Lion Clan’s Female Beastman. Although the food was consistently tempting, the Lord of Wisdom’s voice powerfully held their attention.

After she had explained everything, she said, “Have you all remembered how to say these foods in Universal Language?”

The Beastmen had a bewildered expression: “???”

“The first little test tonight begins,” Mu Ying said with a smile, placing a recently researched “oral test kit” composed of aggressive Binding Vines and Echo Flowers next to each type of food.

Echo Flowers are a type of Magic Plant capable of emitting and recognizing sounds, and the Binding Vines are just as their name suggests.

Both were cultivated through Mu Ying’s Magic Infection and obeyed her commands.

“When you retrieve food, you need to speak the corresponding food’s name in Universal Language to the Echo Flower in front of the plant. Only then can you take a portion of the food. If you speak incorrectly, or not at all, the Binding Vine will whip you! But don’t worry, the Echo Flower is a good teacher. If you make a mistake, it will correct your pronunciation.”

The Beastmen: “...”

They hadn’t remembered a single term in Universal Language from earlier.

The elder and younger Beastmen of the Tiger Clan were the calmest of the lot, having already enjoyed the “affection” of Binding Vine and Echo Flower Teacher as old students.

Ever since the Lord of Wisdom had come up with this thing, they had to pass a little oral test in Universal Language every day before they could get their meat.

Today was relatively trivial, with merely a word to learn—they usually had to learn at least ten words along with a sentence in conversation.

And talking alone wasn’t enough, was it? According to the Lord of Wisdom, learning a language required practice in both speaking and writing. An oral exam must accompany silent writing or dictation, and as long as they were in class, how could there be no homework?

Sure enough, they saw the Lord of Wisdom smiling and saying, “Also, newcomers, remember to record the names of the food you like. You’ll need to go to the sand table area of Universal Language College by tomorrow and find the sand table with your clan’s name on it. Write down the food names you want to learn to complete your course selection, remembering it must be in Universal Language. I don’t recognize Beastman Language, so that won’t count.

A bilingual label is next to each food on its stone pedestal, and the text in front of your seat is how your clan’s name is written in Universal Language.”

Remember, you only have until tomorrow to correctly write the course content in Universal Language at the appropriate sand table for it to count as successful course selection—this will be your first assignment on the first day of school.

In Beastman Academy, only students who complete their assignments on time can collect food!”

If you have questions, you may ask your senior peers from the Tiger Clan Beastmen.

“Has everyone understood?”

Mu Ying left a small homework assignment. After all, there must be homework in class!

She wanted to teach intensively to rapidly complete the educational course; naturally, she had to draw on education experiences from before the apocalypse, experiences she had gained at school!

Courses primarily focused on practices like planting or breeding were somewhat easier because the results were quickly visible, full of a sense of achievement. However, learning Universal Language was a bit harder for Beastmen, especially since the current students at the academy included both young and old from clans other than the Tiger Clan, who came in teams to learn a new language.

So, Mu Ying had already incorporated the learning of Universal Language into the daily routine of two other college courses. Small tests and assigning homework were just part of it. To motivate them, she had prepared many more activities!

She would do everything in her power to make the newly admitted Beastmen enjoy the delight of learning!

The Beastmen were still unaware that Mu Ying had everything arranged thoroughly but were still immersed in the shock from Mu Ying’s recent announcements.

Seeing no response from the Beastmen, Mu Ying habitually tapped her Magic Wand twice in the palm of her hand.

The younger and elder Beastmen of the Tiger Clan sensed trouble and quickly said, “Lord of Wisdom, understood. We guarantee to complete the task on time!”

Mu Ying glanced over at them and smiled, nodding her head, “Very good.”

The old students had already been well trained and had a great sense of students’ duty; she felt deeply gratified.
