“So, from this diagram, we can determine that launching the ball at a speed of 40m/s at a 30-degree angle to the ground will result in a parabolic flight path. If we disregard air resistance, the relationship between the ball’s flight height H and the flight time T will be……”
The classroom was silent, filled only with Fang Zheng’s voice and the “tapping” of chalk. However, the students below were not attentively listening. Instead, they exchanged uneasy glances, occasionally looking at Fang Zheng at the podium and then at the girl sitting in the chair.
Although they didn’t speak, their glances exchanged enough information.
“Enishi might still be the same as before…”
“Who knows, after all, she almost made the teachers of the previous classes cry.”
“But Fang Zheng’s classes are easy to understand, Enishi shouldn’t have any objections…”
Thinking about the previous classes, everyone grew nervous. They didn’t know why Enishi was suddenly behaving so aggressively today. But honestly, the current atmosphere was more nerve-wracking and unsettling than an exam. They were worried that Fang Zheng might question the girl like the previous teachers did. They were also concerned that the girl would confront the teacher again.
After all, unlike the previous teachers, Fang Zheng was the class mentor, and he was gentle and handsome, which made him very trusted and popular among the students. The previous teachers were either too rigid or unpopular. But now… they didn’t want to see Fang Zheng get into an argument with Enishi, especially since he was the mentor. If he got angry, it would be bad for everyone.
“So, please turn your textbooks to page 23.”
Having finished writing on the blackboard, Fang Zheng turned his head, looked at the students, and then frowned slightly, looking at the girl who sat still with her arms crossed.
“Enishi, why haven’t you opened your textbook?”
Hearing this, the others perked up, anxiously watching the scene unfold. Sure enough, upon hearing Fang Zheng’s question, the girl snorted.
“I really don’t know how you became a teacher. You could use a much simpler formula to solve the issue, but you choose to stick rigidly to the textbook. Moreover, isn’t this just a waste of time? Teaching students this way, you’re just being lazy!”
Hearing the girl’s relentless scolding, everyone gasped in shock. The short-haired girl sitting not far from her looked uneasy, wanting to say something. But then…
To everyone’s surprise, Fang Zheng on the podium didn’t become infuriated like the previous teachers; instead, he smiled, appearing very calm.
“You’re mistaken about something, Enishi. A teacher’s first duty is to teach the knowledge clearly to the students. People need to learn to walk before they can run. This is school, and my responsibility is to teach all the students in the class, not just you. Everyone has different levels of understanding. For me, the priority is to make sure every student grasps the knowledge before we move on to other things.”
As he spoke, Fang Zheng reached out and tapped the blackboard.
“Please remember, the exam consists of content right out of the textbook. A strict mastery might be boring, but … life isn’t always smooth sailing.”
At this, the girl’s expression became even more unfriendly.
“Are you saying, as long as you can pass the exams, anything goes?”
“As things stand, indeed so. Only by passing exams can you earn high scores that allow you to enter college and determine your future… Scores decide your future, and that’s all we can do. These are the rules, every circle has its own, and while they may seem impersonal or even cruel, … these are the rules. Either adapt to them or change them; it’s that simple.”
As he spoke, Fang Zheng looked at the girl in front of him.
“You should understand what I mean, Enishi. Perhaps these courses are too simple for you, but unfortunately, I am not your private tutor, and there’s no need to follow your pace in teaching. Also, whatever you want to do, please open your textbook; it’s the basic respect for the teacher.”
Hearing this, the girl fell silent, while the rest of the class watched her anxiously. After a moment, the girl huffed and quietly opened the textbook in front of her.
Seeing this, Fang Zheng nodded inwardly. Just a second-grade girl, are you scared I can’t handle you? Don’t you see whose turf this is? Looking for attention here? Better go home and sleep.
“So, everyone, turn to page 23 of your textbooks.”
Whether Fang Zheng had convinced Shana or not, at least she ceased causing trouble from then on, just silently staring at her textbook. It was unclear whether she was daydreaming or lost in thought, but regardless, the tense atmosphere in the classroom had finally begun to relax. Meanwhile, the other students in the class became increasingly admiring of Fang Zheng.
Amid such an atmosphere, the day’s lessons soon passed, and with the bell ringing for dismissal, the eager students cheered and rushed out of the classroom. Shana, too, without a word, picked up her backpack and left amidst the crowd.
That’s right, obedient kids are cute.
Watching Shana’s departing figure, Fang Zheng smiled slightly, and just as he was tidying up the materials on the podium, preparing to leave, suddenly, a voice rang in Fang Zheng’s ear.
“Um, that… Teacher Fang Zheng…”
Hearing this voice, Fang Zheng turned his head to look and saw a girl with short brown hair standing not far from him, nervously watching him.
“Is there something you need, Yoshida?”
The one who appeared before Fang Zheng was his student, Yoshida Kazumi. She was also one of the class’s beauties and just like many characters in Japanese animations—beautiful, gentle, kind, and very popular… Oh well, it’s all the same pattern.
Facing Fang Zheng, Yoshida Kazumi was clearly apprehensive as she lowered her head and hesitated for a moment before she finally spoke.
“Please don’t be angry with Hirai Enishi. I think she didn’t mean it; she was just upset about something…”
Fang Zheng waved his hand, and then he also remembered that Yoshida Kazumi seemed to be friends with Hirai Enishi… Well, forget it, although it’s a bit cruel, some things are indeed better not known.
“It was just a little accident, nothing to worry about. Rather, Yoshida, you should be leaving the school now. It’s getting late; be careful on your way home.”
“Ah, yes, I understand…!”
Upon hearing Fang Zheng’s response, Yoshida Kazumi’s face lit up with a relieved smile. She bowed respectfully to Fang Zheng and then prepared to leave the classroom.
“Well, I’m off then, teacher see you…”
But the girl’s words were not complete.
For at that moment, the crimson realm descended once again, freezing everything.
Looking at the world around him that seemed as if time had stopped, Fang Zheng’s complexion immediately darkened, and just then, behind him, a deck of cards appeared from nowhere, shooting towards Fang Zheng like arrows!
“Whizz whizz whizz!!”
Just as these cards were about to hit Fang Zheng, several beams of magic radiance appeared one after another, followed by loud explosions and bursts of fire, which were then instantly blocked by a magic barrier radiating azure radiance.
“Compared to the Fire Mist Warrior, the Followers of the Crimson Realm seem even more brutal.”
Glancing at the white flames blocked by the magic barrier, Fang Zheng snorted coldly, and then, with a reverse grip, he drew the Sky-Cleaving Sword and swung it fiercely!
The violent Sword Qi, like a scimitar, swept through the classroom, chopping at the hovering cards. Sensing the imminent danger, the cards suddenly formed a circle as if protectively dispersing. Then, in the next moment, the roaring Sword Qi collided heavily with the spinning cards.
The hot flames scattered in all directions, turning the neatly arranged classroom into complete disarray, with desks and chairs caught up in the storm, twisted, ripped apart, reduced to broken fragments.
Accompanied by a scream, the fluttering cards scattered, and then a battered doll burst out of the smoke, quickly rushing towards a gap by the wall.
Still trying to escape?
Watching the fleeing figure, Fang Zheng snorted coldly, then stretched out his hand and pointed forward. Dozens of dazzling Magic Missiles burst from Fang Zheng’s fingertips, howling as they flew towards the tattered figure.
Just as the Magic Missiles were about to blast the doll into pieces, suddenly a white figure emerged from nowhere, standing in front of the doll. With a slight wave of the figure’s right hand, the incoming Magic Missiles exploded in midair and disappeared without a trace.
Then, a voice rang out.
“So you’re the human who seized the Noble Phantasm… I didn’t see that coming; you do have some skill indeed.”
Accompanied by this voice, a man dressed in a white suit appeared before Fang Zheng.
