Chapter 29: Changes in Academy
After spending the whole day in the academy I can see how Dugu Bo's granddaughter and Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan member were the strongest people here!
Everything from curriculum to attitude was lacking! It's like they see this place as after class club which they don't care about it!
"You should take this easy. There is no need for you to change everything in a single day." My uncle said with a slightly nervous tone. He has not seen me this angry before. Naturally angry that is. He did see me in my frenzy thanks to my Martial Spirit.
"Your uncle is right. There is no need for you to change everything in a single day. Make sure it's gradual." Hearing my mother say joining my uncle's side like this make me slightly annoyed.
Why I can't enjoy my dinner without this nagging!? Fine! Let's do this your way!
"Fine. I am slowly going to beat those lazy people. Since you two want it gradually then it's going to be gradual beat up." I said with an almost feral smirk. The pair of adults slightly gulped down.
"...Maybe…we should wait for your Royal Father to return and ask for his opinion?"
"He would always take my side in any matter. Anyway, I will take this slowly." After finishing my dinner I grabbed my Xiao Xue'er hand and started to walk back to my Palace.
I could 'feel' how Qian Renxue was having a conversation with my mother with her gaze. No doubt my mother is trying to persuade her to make me take it easy…
Eventually, the pair of us returned to our Palace I ended up sitting in one of my favourite couches. A few moments later Qian Renxue smugly took her seat next to me while looking where the Golden Lion has walked over and saw how the blonde was sitting next to me.
For a few moments, the Spirit Beast contemplated what to do. So, she ended up sitting on my other free side. She would usually use my lap as a pillow but at this moment my fiance is here and she would end up not allowing my lion to hog entirely of my lap like this.
Though Qiu'er still found a way to snuggle.
"What is it you going to do? Changing everything is going to take time. And spending so much time like this will severely diminish your training and cultivation time." My angel girl said that while leaning into my shoulder. She was copying what Qiu'er was doing which is ridiculously amusing in a sense.
A girl is fighting for attention against a pet cat.
My first thought about the academy was to turn this into how sects are run back in my previous world. But that is going to take a lot of time.
So, instead, I am going to change the curriculum. Starting with cultivation enforcement. In other words, people will have a quota which they need to cultivate.
This will mean no more lazing around. The second is to check out teacher competency, then check out what kind of resources the academy provides.
I might as well going start to grow my herbs and fruits en mass. The Academy has enough space for that.
Making make students grown stuff? It would increase their sense of responsibility.
"As mother and uncle suggested I will take this easy and gradually. There is no need to rush. We still need to get those Spirit Rings." I said that as my hand wrapped around her shoulder and pulled her closer.
She smiled for a bit, the blonde developed quite a greedy attitude for my attention and contact.
It's quite sweet, not that anyone apart from me and her grandfather can see her smile like this.
"Well, as long as you can find some time for me you can destroy and rebuild that Academy I don't care." She said that with a casual tone.
I chuckled hearing that while stroking her hair.
"Maybe if they annoy me too much."
She hummed with satisfaction.
~~~~~~Later~~~~~~
With quite a busy schedule it took around a week to set up a curriculum which Xue Long was satisfied with.
The moment the students saw it they all turned pale white.
"This is your schedule. I expect you all to keep this to acceptable levels."
"B—"
***SWISH***
A vertical blue and white, Yin and Yang disc slammed into the complaining student's chest which send him flying into the corner of the classroom.
"You are Heavenly Dou Level student. You have no right to complain. You are a Student who is chosen to uphold my family name. Complaining means you are disrespecting that, and you don't want to do that do you?" The Fourth Prince said that as he lowered his hand. He spoke quite plainly which has sent chilling thoughts through students' spines.
"N-N-No" The student quickly denied that with a stuttering voice. He was having a hard time breathing properly.
He just ended up receiving one of the martial arts attacks which were developed by the Fourth Prince!
The attack was swift and it had such crushing force! And he did that with a simple hand motion!?
How terrifying is that!?
Can they learn and do something like this!?
While they were afraid at the same time they were excited to gain such an upper hand in spirit Arenas!
"Good! Then it means you all understand the changes which I am bringing to you all. You all are nobles. Not peasants this means you are not allowed to be lazy! What kind of example are you showing to the wider population if you all are fat like walruses!?"
The prince said that with snappy to making some teenagers who were slightly overweight get self-conscious.
"You have two choices you either lose that weight or I am going to make lose it."
Everyone gulped down hard from fear. They can't believe this is happening!
Slowly they realised that they are entering a cycle of no return!
If they complain, their parents will complain to the Emperor! And will the Emperor do anything to the Fourth Prince!?
No!
In truth, Xue Long will return to them with even more punishing exercises!
This is going to be torture!
As they thought about this they all looked at their schedules… it's all physical exercises!!! Who wakes up at 4 in the morning to run!? Why 200 laps? Why!? Why there are training regimes dedicated to specific limb exercises? To top it all one will end training will have to fight at the end of those exercises! Where is the energy for that!?
The more they thought about this the more horrible it is becoming in their heads.
"This is partially from my maid's exercises. So don't look so gloomy. If you can't keep this up then you guys are worse than 10-year-old girls."
"""!?"""
Everyone got a wake-up slap after this. They all looked at the pair of maids standing not far behind the Prince. They all had disgusted looks which were directed at the students.
This made them all embarrassed! If the girls this young can do this then what about them!? They are a few years older than them!
While this was embarrassing they all had not a small amount of awe directed at these maids! The Prince is truly making them this powerful!!!
After getting the initial shock the students were ready to listen to Xue Long's training regiment explanation. And how to build up those muscles to reach those standards he wants.
"Once you are up to the standards I will start teaching you martial arts and how to reach the point where you can do this!"
As he said that Yin and Yang symbol spin into existence behind him.
At that moment they felt like they were Heaven and Earth apart from the prince! That symbol gave them this unreachable feeling!
Honestly, that moment he bought them all. While being embarrassed about his maids outgoing them. Gaining power which they could not get anywhere else was another extremely enticing prospect!
After the initial lesson was over it was time for Xue Long to observe the teachers and them in their 'natural' habitat.
In other words, he is going to watch them teaching their students.
What the Fourth Prince was the most interested in was Qin Ming one of few students who graduated from Shrek Academy. The guy had the perfect mentality to be a good teacher and Xue Long wants to keep him.
And so he spend a few days observing teachers and made a list of who were the best and just as he has expected Qin Ming was one of the best.
In truth, there were no bad teachers what was stopping them from being good is that they are afraid of nobles and what they could do to these teachers. As in these nobles are not afraid of Royal Family…or they used to be.
"You all already know that I spend a few days observing you all teach." Xue Long started the meeting with quite ominous words. The teachers were quite afraid that the prince was dissatisfied with them, as the whole time he had an indifferent face while observing them.
So it was hard for them to read what he was thinking! It was an extremely tortuous few days for these middle-aged people!
How can a child which is ten years old make them feel like that?
"What I find out that you all doing your duties splendidly, however… I can see that you all giving these noble brats too much face! You are here to teach them to be strong not to pamper babies!"
"...But my prince… we can't just—"
"Yes, you can. If they are dissatisfied then send them to me. I will straighten them up." He said that with a feral smile for second his eyes turned red with a draconic-like slit. He was imagining using a noble as a punching bag!
"...Understood." Qin Ming said while fixing his glasses he had a satisfied smile on his face.
Finally, this Academy is going somewhere!
"I have the curriculum here with me. Check them out and tell me what you think." The Fourth Prince said that as he handed over a few books over.
"...My prince… when did you prepare this?"
Did he write several books in a single week!? Everyone thought at the same time!
"I have edited out my 'maid initiative' guidebooks and made them easier. In other words, this is an easier version of the system I use to train my maids." He said that casually, this made the teachers look at the two girls which were with him the whole time. They stood there with graceful smiles on their faces.
They needed to remind themselves that these two are Rank 60 Spirit Kings…
After remembering that they started to read what is written in these books.
What they found are diets, body exercises, mental exercises, fighting exercises, philosophy, fighting philosophy, body philosophy, and basic meditation. Etiquette, math, writing, painting, calligraphy, music, dancing…
There was quite literally everything to make someone into a noble.
After seeing this they all felt chill going down their spines. If this is an easier version what kind of training is he making those girls go through!?
Though there are more pressing issues…
They don't know half of these things they are going to teach!!!
"Umm…Prince Xue Long… while…this looks amazing! I don't know half these things! Painting and calligraphy are something I did as a child…but… the rest like philosophy, and battle philosophy, I could talk about. But I am not an expert…" As one of the teachers said that he earned several nods from other teachers.
"Don't worry. We going to have a crash course."
'Crash course'? What does that even mean!? Can you even start teaching someone by doing a few hours-long session!?
Xue Long could only smirk seeing how these guys are uncomfortable. They have no idea what Lotus Meditation can do!
