MTLNOVEL Chapter 11: Huahuo Let's Go
"Boy, if you still want to sign up, just say your real name, otherwise I will give you demerit."
Du Weilun said with some annoyance.
It was the first time he had encountered this situation, and this kid didn't play by the rules at all.
The director of the Teaching Department asked him for his name, and he made one up on the spot!
Couldn't he at least make up a normal name?
Du Weilun wasn't too old, and his ears were sharp!
The names Huahuo and Tang Ya—he heard them clearly!
Hearing this, Huo Yuhao smirked, his eyes filled with three parts mockery, three parts coldness, and four parts nonchalance.
"Director Du, you don't even know my name. How can you give me a big demerit?"
Huo Yuhao spread his hands, paused for a moment, and then continued, "Besides, I'm not a freshman at Shrek Academy yet. Why are you giving me a demerit?"
"If you want to punish me with a demerit, shouldn't you at least wait until I become a Shrek student?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Du Weilun was stunned.
Even Dai Huabin, who had been beaten to a pulp by Huo Yuhao, was momentarily dumbfounded.
What this kid said made sense!
If you want to give a student a demerit, they have to be a student first.
He's not a student of Shrek Academy yet, so why is he being punished by Shrek?
"What you're saying..."
As if realizing something, Du Weilun shook his head and subconsciously replied, "No, after you become a student, if you haven't made any mistakes..."
At this point, Du Weilun almost laughed at his own foolishness.
HuaHuo nearby had already burst into laughter...
"Kid, you can talk well, but the rules of this world aren't something you can change just by speaking."
To be honest, although Du Weilun's approach had some flaws, it was already the mildest possible.
If it were anyone else causing trouble like this, it wouldn't just be a nominal demerit, it would be outright expulsion!
If it weren't for the Tang Sect, and if it weren't for the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, why would Du Weilun be so lenient?
As the director of the Teaching Department and a Soul Douluo powerhouse, Du Weilun had his own pride.
Explaining himself to the group was worse than killing him.
He would never explain.
Du Weilun clasped his hands, looked down at Huo Yuhao, and said coldly, "Even if you're a special invitee from the Tang Sect, I have the right to deny you entry to the academy."
After saying this, Du Weilun glanced at Dai Mubai and Huahuo, then back at Huo Yuhao, and added, "Dai Huabin, Huahuo, you've both been given a demerit. Do you agree with this resolution?"
He was confident that Huo Yuhao would back down.
No one would turn down the chance to study at Shrek Academy, especially not these young kids.
Ten thousand years ago, Dean Flender had nothing but his words, and with just his silver tongue, he managed to attract countless geniuses.
Now, ten thousand years later, there was no need for persuasion, talents flocked to Shrek Academy on their own.
Today's Shrek wasn't the Shrek of ten thousand years ago.
It was the pinnacle of education on the Douluo Continent!
A holy land in the hearts of all soul masters!
In response to Du Weilun's words, Dai Huabin was the first to stand up and angrily retort, "I don't agree! I didn't do anything wrong!"
Even now, Dai Huabin refused to admit any fault, convinced that Du Weilun was favoring Huahuo and Huo Yuhao.
If that weren't the case, Huahuo and Huo Yuhao would have been expelled already.
Du Weilun was momentarily stunned, glancing at Dai Huabin in surprise.
Was this kid really that stubborn?
Before Du Weilun could respond, HuaHuo nodded calmly and said, "I agree, but I don't want to join Shrek Academy."
After saying this, Huahuo walked to Huo Yuhao's side and grabbed his right arm.
"Yuhao, my husband, let's go."
Huahuo dragged Huo Yuhao away, muttering under her breath, "What a broken academy. We're here to learn, not to be ruled."
Her voice wasn't soft, and even Dai Huabin, who was the weakest, could hear it clearly.
"Well, Lady Huahuo, this academy is indeed terrible, not as good as Brother Bei said."
"Even someone with terrible conduct like Dai Huabin can be enrolled. It just shows that the academy only cares about potential and doesn't care about character at all."
Huo Yuhao used the calmest tone to deliver the harshest truth!
Shrek Academy doesn't value a student's character at all, as long as the student is on Shrek's side.
This is an old tradition, after all.
Ten thousand years ago, whether it was Zao Wou-Ki, Li Yusong, or others, none of them had good conduct!
"Yes, let's find a place to retire. Being a soul master isn't all it's cracked up to be."
"Exactly, being a soul master isn't that great. I always end up dealing with these self-righteous people."
The "husband and wife" duo bantered back and forth, their voices gradually fading as they walked away, the smiles on their faces growing wider.
Punish them?
Who did Du Weilun think he was?
Even if they didn't attend Shrek Academy, couldn't they still get their hands on Shrek's soul guide explosives?
It might be a bit more complicated, but that's all.
Du Weilun fell silent for a moment, subconsciously glancing at Dai Huabin before asking, "Dai Huabin, are they really gone?"
He couldn't believe it!
He had seen students expelled from Shrek Academy, but he had never seen students voluntarily drop out.
Where were they?
This was Shrek Academy!
Among the thousands of soul masters in the world, who wouldn't be proud to enter Shrek Academy?
Dai Huabin nodded and replied, "Yes, they're gone. They even said they don't want to be soul masters."
For a moment, Dai Huabin also felt the urge to turn around and leave, but he didn't dare to gamble on whether Du Weilun would stop him.
At the same time, there was a fleeting moment when Dai Huabin didn't want to seek revenge on Huo Yuhao and Huahuo.
But as soon as he remembered Huo Yuhao's parting words, his anger flared up again, reigniting his hatred for the two!
Du Weilun's face was filled with disbelief as he subconsciously looked at Dai Huabin, as if they were old acquaintances chatting casually.
"No, the academy isn't a place where they can come and go as they please, is it?"
Dai Huabin: ???
Isn't it?
The academy is just an academy. You can come and go as you please!
There's something seriously wrong with Du Weilun's thinking!
Without waiting for Dai Huabin to respond, Du Weilun rushed out of the Teaching Department like a gust of wind, shouting as he ran, "Huahuo! Huahuo! You can't leave! What am I supposed to do with the task you were given if you leave?"
Dai Huabin: "..."
To be honest, Dai Huabin was a bit shocked.
What kind of status and strength did that girl Huahuo have to warrant such treatment from the director of the Teaching Department?
"Wait, I'm... I'm still in the Teaching Department!"
The corners of Dai Huabin's eyes twitched, leaving him utterly bewildered.
Du Weilun had run off, but he hadn't given Dai Huabin permission to leave. If he left without authorization, there might be consequences.
Left with no choice, Dai Huabin could only stay in the Teaching Department, waiting for Du Weilun to return and see how this matter would be resolved.
