Chapter 467: Chapter 467: The Cat and Dog Duo
He suddenly wanted to experience the feeling of those seniors standing on the stage. Roa got up and, under the gaze of everyone's admiration or curiosity, slowly said, "In this spring of recovery, when all things are revived and the grass is growing, we gather on such a stage…"
"bla bla bla, bla bla bla."
(Omit the following thousand words.)
Roa gave a speech, talking a lot, which made Badigadi, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"This guy has a lot of vocabulary."
This was everyone's thought.
However, the fact was not that he had a lot of vocabulary, but that he was completely using a template.
Roa's template was naturally the template of official language that he had heard countless times in his previous life. Because he had heard these things too many times, he still remembered this set of lines even after coming to another world.
It was roughly to express his earnest hope for the students, hoping that everyone would work hard and achieve greater success in the new year.
At first, everyone thought it was interesting, but as they listened, some smart people reacted.
Good heavens, a long passage of text, the meaning that he wanted to express was actually just those few things.
The central idea was these three sentences, but the main text was terribly long.
But the person in front of them had actually made up a long passage, and the words were not even repeated.
It could only be said that listening to your words was like listening to your words.
Looking at the gradually strange faces of the students below, a smile appeared on Roa's face.
Nailed it, that's the taste.
I've been in jail before, and today I'm leading you all to experience it too.
Many people in the audience even started yawning.
Most of these yawning people are beastmen, the kind who hate meetings the most, and they find this kind of meeting extremely annoying.
However, because Roa's status is what it is, everyone can only sit and listen obediently.
But idle gossip started to emerge.
"How boring, meow."
"How much longer is he going to talk? I want to eat meat already."
The two who spoke were naturally beastmen, and they were sitting relatively close to the front.
One was a cat-eared beast girl, wearing a school uniform, revealing four sharp teeth when she spoke. Her face was considered delicate, and her skin was fairer compared to other beastmen.
The other had a pair of fluffy dog ears, and her appearance was also quite good, but she looked a bit silly.
The identities of the two were naturally not simple. The cat-eared beast girl's full name was Lineana Dedoldia, commonly known as "Linia," the cat-eared beast princess, the eldest daughter of Gyes, the warrior chief of the Dedoldia tribe, and Minitona's sister.
As for the dog-eared girl who looked a bit dull, her name was Pursena Adoldia. She was also a princess, the dog-eared beast princess. Both of them had very special identities, and their status was naturally high. As princesses, both of them were admitted as special students.
Pursena specialized in healing magic, while Lineana specialized in magic in general.
Lineana's fire attribute magic had reached the advanced level, and her healing magic was at the beginner level.
This level was considered good in the academy, after all, not everyone's strength could be like Rudeus.
Rudeus's strength in this academy was definitely top-notch.
Apart from needing more training in combat, his research into magic itself had reached a very high level.
Comparing Rudeus to the two of them was a bit like bullying the two beastmen.
But speaking of the two of them, they were quite interesting.
Despite their seemingly harmless appearance and their status as princesses, the people in the academy actually disliked them quite a bit.
Although they had only enrolled in the past year or two, due to their background as "Dedoldia Tribe" beast princesses, they were the highest-ranking students when they first entered the school. They and Pursena Adoldia were notorious for their rampant behavior in the magic academy, including group boycotts, intimidation, extortion, and gathering crowds to cause trouble…
In other words, the two of them were currently at the level of being universally despised.
The two were so bored that they even started chatting, and their voices were not quiet.
If they were in the back or sitting in the middle, chatting like this wouldn't be a problem, but sitting in the front, speaking a little louder, Roa could hear them clearly.
Roa's attention was naturally drawn to the two beast girls.
When he saw the two of them, he showed a strange expression.
Roa thought to himself, "It's these two guys, well, things are going to be fun in the future."
Lineana wasn't stupid, and she quickly noticed Roa's gaze. She quickly closed her mouth and apologized to Roa with a smile, "Sorry, meow, you can continue talking."
Although she said sorry, looking at their playful attitude, there wasn't a hint of embarrassment.
Roa didn't say much, just smiled and looked at the two of them with a meaningful gaze.
The speech wasn't over, but Roa said these words to the two cats and dogs over there: "The time ahead is still very long, but I believe we will have a pleasant time."
Roa emphasized the word "pleasant."
Pursena and Lineana immediately shivered, but when they looked back, Roa had already withdrawn his gaze and continued to talk about his grand plans. However, the two of them didn't feel relaxed at all.
Their expressions became serious.
"Just now, he seemed to have looked at us."
"Lineana, I think we've been targeted, meow."
"Crap, did he target us as soon as he took office? Is he planning to use us as an example?"
"I don't want that to happen, meow!"
The two of them were very dramatic, but Roa didn't pay any more attention to them and continued to read the manuscript in a monotonous tone.
"I've decided, I'll let you sit in jail for a while longer."
Among the people below, the one with the strangest expression was Rudeus.
"Isn't this the stuff from my middle school days?" Rudeus complained in his heart. This familiar sense of déjà vu reminded him of some bad things.
Although he knew he was saying nonsense, they still had to sit there.
Roa thought that his speech wasn't attractive and that no one would listen seriously.
But when Roa glanced to the left, things instantly didn't look good.
For some reason, Roa felt that Moriarty's eyes were shining.
He was currently holding a small notebook, writing and drawing on it, recording Roa's words.
Roa still underestimated the power contained in his template.
Although it was a template, the fact that it had been around for so long meant that it must have a reason for its circulation.
What Roa saw as clichés and things that were almost worn out, Moriarty found extremely interesting.
Unlike the students sitting below, he was the principal, so he listened very carefully.
He summarized and recorded, wondering if he should imitate Roa's lines if he ever went on stage.
The advantage of the template was evident.
As long as some of the words were changed, it was a universal speech template with a wide range of applications.
Of course, Roa didn't keep everyone there forever. After speaking eloquently for half an hour, Roa finally made a summary.
"In the future, everyone should see me often in this academy. If you don't know something, you can ask the teachers sitting in front of us. We strongly encourage you to ask questions. Since you've come to this school to study, be bold, show your achievements, and don't be embarrassed to ask questions when you encounter difficulties."
"Well, that's the end of my speech. I hope everyone will give me more guidance in the future. Next, let's see what Principal Moriarty has planned."
Roa then handed the baton to Moriarty.
Moriarty coughed slightly. He wanted to experiment with the inspiration he had just gained from Roa, but when he glanced at the audience, everyone looked a little listless.
That's how meetings are, especially when so many people are gathered together, everyone's attention is easily distracted.
After all, these things aren't very useful to them.
Those who should work hard will still work hard, and those who should slack off will still choose to slack off.
Moriarty's little lesson didn't last long. In less than ten minutes, Moriarty finished all the important points.
Moriarty's gaze swept across the faces of the yawning people below the stage, revealing a helpless expression.
Recently, everyone had been enjoying a rare period of peace, and everyone seemed a little lazy.
"Well, let's end it here. Everyone, please leave in an orderly manner." As Moriarty's words fell, the crowd applauded enthusiastically again.
The first day of school naturally involved attending classes.
However, attending classes had nothing to do with Roa.
As an honorary principal, he only needed to teach one class a week, and the timing of this class was up to Roa's arrangement, meaning he could teach whenever he wanted.
Of course, this treatment was only for Roa. Mitsuri and Roxy still had quite a few things on their schedule each week.
After the opening ceremony, Roa had nothing to do and wandered around the academy.
Rudeus, Eris, and a group of others were already distributed in various classrooms attending classes.
Roa didn't go to watch them one by one, and he was too lazy to watch them. During his rare free time, he didn't want to keep his eyes on them like he was taking care of children.
Moreover, pushing them too hard wouldn't be good. Appropriate pressure was necessary, but if he kept staring at them, it might have the opposite effect.
Therefore, Roa set relatively lenient conditions, namely, as long as they made progress.
The school environment was quite good, and it really had some resemblance to the universities of his previous life.
Roa walked around openly, naturally attracting the attention of many people.
However, most of these students didn't dare to approach, only watching from afar, their eyes full of curiosity.
Of course, there were also a few bold girls who ran over with red faces to say hello.
Roa didn't act aloof, smiling and nodding to them. The girls who were watching from a distance immediately let out a chorus of exclamations, and the girl who had said hello blushed and ran away in a panic after bowing.
Seeming to realize that Roa was easy to talk to, the guys who didn't have classes all ran over to watch.
Roa's appearance was already very outstanding, and he wasn't very old, similar in age to most of them, which led to Roa being unexpectedly popular, especially among the girls, where this popularity was even more intense.
Roa had only been strolling for a short while when he encountered several "chance encounters."
In a short time, a small half of the girls in the school had gathered around Roa.
Roa didn't expect that he would cause such a sensation just by saying a few words.
He also felt a little embarrassed.
However, at this moment, a slightly strange voice came from not far away.
"Hey, hey, what are you all crowding around for? Are you hiding something good? Let me see, meow!"
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, don't block the way."
The only ones who could say such things were the cat and dog duo.
The group of girls who had been hiding in the corner instantly trembled, as if they had heard the whispers of a demon. They were all frightened and scattered in a panic.
Lineana ignored them and looked in the direction they had been watching, and was instantly stunned.
Their eyes met, and the two looked at each other, neither of them speaking.
Pursena saw that Lineana wasn't moving and couldn't help but push her. Pursena's two dog ears perked up, and she asked curiously, "What are you looking at?"
Lineana staggered and almost fell to the ground. Lineana glared at Pursena and said angrily, "You stupid dog, why did you push me?"
"Huh? Who are you calling a stupid dog?" Pursena immediately became unconvinced and prepared to compete with Lineana.
However, when she caught sight of Roa's expressionless face, she was immediately frightened and barked.
"Y-you, why are you here?"
After Pursena stuttered out these words, she seemed to remember something, and her face turned pale.
"Are we being targeted? What should we do? Should we run?"
Pursena looked at Lineana with pleading eyes. Lineana took a deep breath, rubbed Pursena's dog head hard, and whispered to Pursena, "Leave it to me, you stupid dog."
Roa found the interaction between the two of them very interesting, so he stopped to watch for a while.
In the short time that these two cats and dogs had appeared, most of the surrounding students had already dispersed.
Many of those who left clearly showed expressions of disgust or hatred.
"It's those two again, really. Last time, I was surrounded and beaten up by them."
"Annoying, I'll kill that stupid cat sooner or later."
"Shh, keep it down. If they hear you say that, you won't be able to come to class for a week."
