Chapter 533: Chapter 403: The Dignity of Teachers

The handsome man was indeed handsome, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, looking dignified and elegant.

However, before the handsome man even ran over, he had already fixed his gaze on Qu Jianlei, looking quite unfriendly, ”Who are you?”

Qu Jianlei turned around and left immediately, ”See you tomorrow morning, contact via wristwatch if needed.”

He disliked this kind of neither-male-nor-female type as well, as a member of a species, shouldn’t one propagate and strengthen the species?

Without this awareness and sense of mission, one is an outsider!

The night passed without words, and the next morning, Qu Jianlei went to the cafeteria for a meal and coincidentally bumped into Xiang Xue on his way back.

Xiang Xue glanced at him, ”Seriously going to the library?”

Qu Jianlei smiled without answering directly, ”I still want to look around on this planet.”

That day, the division of duties among the three in the academy became clear, and someone took Qu Jianlei to the library.

The person in charge of the library was named Halk, a middle-aged, somewhat lean man, looking scholarly and refined, a B-level Warrior.

He only saw Qu Jianlei briefly, spoke very politely, but after handing over specific tasks to others, he left.

Shari, a C-level middle-aged woman, was the one who actually coordinated with Qu Jianlei.

Shari was very enthusiastic, with the demeanor of an outgoing person, and she greatly admired Green Water Academy, constantly asking questions.

Qu Jianlei had already told her that he was from an official library but couldn’t stop her from believing that he must be familiar with the academy.

Besides that, she also told Qu Jianlei that she unexpectedly Awakened after passing the Awakening Stage.

This was the first example of an abnormal Awakening that Qu Jianlei encountered.

He couldn’t help but feel a bit curious, but being new there, although the other party was enthusiastic, he decided to wait until he was more familiar to ask.

The library covered a considerable area. Shari led Qu Jianlei on a tour; the collection of books was not much, far from comparable to Green Water Academy.

But judging by the area alone, it’s evident that the Engineering College intended to expand the library.

Moreover, the library had quite a number of recent books and many relevant journals, not less than Green Water Academy’s.

Some niche professional journals, seemingly unavailable at Green Water Academy, were unexpectedly available here.

After casually walking around, the morning was already over.

Shari thoughtfully suggested, ”Since you’re new, don’t worry about coming in the afternoon; take care of personal matters first.”

Later, Qu Jianlei learned that the library work indeed wasn’t much, and the workload for other aid workers wasn’t heavy either.

He once asked Shari, ”Aren’t you short on faculty? Why does everyone seem so idle?”

Shari’s answer was that aid teachers would stay for at most one or two years, eventually returning.

So the Engineering College still needs to cultivate its own teachers. It would be good to learn something from the foreign teachers.

Only then did Qu Jianlei realize that although the aid salary wasn’t low, it didn’t reflect in the actual workload.

Still, at that time, he wasn’t clear about this, so in the afternoon, he wandered back to the library, wanting to see if there was something he could do.

Unexpectedly, Shari didn’t show up in the afternoon either; with his foreign staff ID, he simply soaked himself in the library to read.

The next day, Qu Jianlei submitted some suggestions for rectification to Shari. The management of the newly built library wasn’t detailed enough.

Shari valued his suggestions greatly, specifically took a notebook, and recorded them one by one.

As for how exactly to rectify it, she couldn’t make the decision, and still had to discuss it with Halk.

But Halk’s response was very slow, and several days passed after submitting suggestions without any response.

Qu Jianlei gradually got used to this slow-paced life, moving daily among the library, cafeteria, and small courtyard.

That evening, as he left the library, he walked leisurely toward the cafeteria.

Passing by a small grove, he heard someone shouting for help inside.

With slight Perception, he realized there were seven or eight students in the grove, beating up one person.

Qu Jianlei generally disliked meddling, especially realizing that he drew unwanted attention, made him even less inclined to intervene.

But in recent days at the library, students occasionally called him ”teacher,” which made him show some teacher-like qualities.

Now, he could certainly choose to leave without paying attention, avoiding unnecessary trouble.

But considering the ”respect of teaching,” he frowned slightly and walked into the grove.

”What are you doing? Stop it!”

There were three students physically involved, and four others were standing by watching. One was particularly burly and well-dressed.

Upon hearing Qu Jianlei’s voice, the three who were fighting stopped to take a look and noticed the work card hanging on his chest.

The burly student glanced at him, snorted coldly, ”None of your business, I advise you not to meddle.”

This student was an Awakened, Gold Attribute, barely stepping into the C-level threshold.

Not only was he an Awakened, but one of those involved in fighting was a Wood Attribute.

Even the one being beaten was an Awakened, with a Water Attribute.

This kind of situation wasn’t uncommon in higher academies, especially in those ranked high, where the proportion of Awakened was indeed significant.

Qu Jianlei frowned slightly and spoke sternly, ”I’ll say it again, stop it!”

”The academy is a place for learning, not for you to fight and brawl. If you want to fight, take it outside, do you hear me?”

Heaven have mercy, Qu Jianlei has never been good at lecturing others; he has always believed in ”if you can fight, don’t talk.”

Being able to say this much now was really difficult for him.

The burly student turned his head away from him and shouted to the three who were fighting, ”Keep hitting them!”

The three hesitated for a moment, then turned back to continue punching and kicking.

Truly, they won’t cry until they see the coffin! Qu Jianlei sighed inwardly, and his figure suddenly flickered.

Like a specter, he flashed to the side of the Wood Attribute student and grabbed the student’s collar with a quick hand.

The next moment, that student was sent flying, reaching a height of four or five meters, and then fell to the ground.

Then he extended his legs and kicked the other two students seven or eight meters away.

To be honest, it was really tough for him; Mr. Qu is skilled in killing, and teaching such a painless lesson requires controlling the force.

But even so, that Wood Attribute student is likely to have fractures, though it doesn’t matter much since Wood Attributes have strong self-healing abilities.

The two students who were kicked might suffer from bone fractures or something, but... who told them to disregard the teacher?

The burly student became angry upon seeing this, ”Everyone, come at me and kill this fool who doesn’t know what’s good for him!”

As he spoke, he raised his hand and made a finger gesture, seemingly about to use a technique.

”Heh,” Qu Jianlei chuckled softly, his figure flashed, and he appeared beside the burly student.

The next moment, he picked up the student and slammed him hard onto the ground.

With a ”crack,” the student’s arm immediately fractured, causing him to howl in pain and roll on the ground.

Seeing his ruthless attack, the other three were frightened and froze.

Normally, Qu Jianlei should have stayed and dealt with everyone present.

Then he should contact Zi Jiu Immortal or Shari to inform them of what happened—after all, he is not a real teacher.

However, Qu Jianlei has never liked such fussiness.

He snorted coldly, ”Considering you’re all students, get lost quickly!”

After speaking, he walked up to the Water Attribute student, ”Get up, come with me.”

This student was beaten black and blue, and his clothes were torn, but fortunately, he didn’t seem to be in serious trouble.

He also understood that this teacher was worried he would continue to be ganged up, so he stood up shakily.

Then... he actually started making finger gestures, his face turning ferocious, ”Bastard!”

”What are you doing?” Qu Jianlei lifted his leg and kicked the student’s backside, causing him to stumble.

The guy I just saved doesn’t seem to be any good either, ”Be honest and come with me!”

The student, his finger technique interrupted, stabilized himself and cast a resentful glance at Qu Jianlei, reluctantly lowering his arms.

After following him out of the woods, he muttered lowly, ”An Awakened should have the courage to wash away shame!”

This understanding is deliberately cultivated by the Imperial, not encouraging bravery among ordinary people, but the Awakened are an exception.

”You’ve got a point?” Qu Jianlei continued walking without looking back and then snorted, ”Then you can go back now yourself.”

Really just a student, fighting style immature, thinking immature as well.

After walking a bit more, he finally asked, ”What did you do that got you beaten up by a group?”

He always thought that pitiful people must have something detestable about them, weak people in school violence might have their problems as well.

And seeing this one’s demeanor, it was clear he wasn’t innocent either.

The student hesitated for a moment before sulkily answering, ”For Irina... Robin Hood insisted she was his girlfriend.”

This really is... Qu Jianlei was a bit speechless and after a while finally snorted, ”Youth is great.”

He hadn’t really considered that it was just simple jealousy.

Seems like he was too harsh on those students just now?

But it doesn’t matter either; being young doesn’t mean you can do whatever you want, consider it the ”beating from society.”

However, as he thought this, the seven students in the woods were all gnashing their teeth.

The Wood Attribute student was the worst off; he broke both legs and, while howling in pain, cursed, ”This isn’t over!”

”Absolutely not over!” the burly student—Robin Hood—said while sitting on the ground holding his broken arm, ”We must kill that guy.”

The Awakened have all been taught ”to wash away shame,” and they’re no exception, especially at such a hot-blooded age?

”Doesn’t Ye Xiangkong’s family have some background?” someone timidly spoke up.

”So what?” Robin Hood replied through gritted teeth while hissing in pain, ”Am I supposed to be afraid of him?”

It’s that saying, most Awakened people generally don’t have poor family conditions.

But then, Robin Hood spoke up again, ”Who knows that teacher?”

”Seems like he’s from the library staff,” answered one student, ”probably assistance from an alien.”

”We can’t let that guy go,” someone said through clenched teeth; those from alien assistance truly mustn’t be worried about.

Robin Hood nodded, biting his teeth, ”Get rid of him... he dared to sneak attack, too treacherous!”
