Chapter 452: Chapter 452: Because I Have the Financial Means
Ten minutes later, over a thousand teachers from the War Academy appeared in the arena.
Some teachers sat in the spectator stands, some flew through the air on clouds, some balanced on flying swords, drinking and munching on sunflower seeds, and some floated in mid-air yawning.
“Is everyone here?” Fang Jueyu asked a teacher with purple skin who resembled a giant.
“Reporting to the Dean, all teachers from the War Academy are present except for two!”
“Who’s still not here?” Fang Jueyu glanced around. There were so many teachers at this academy that he couldn’t remember who hadn’t shown up. “Tell them if they’re not here, their salary will be reduced by one Energy Baryte next month!”
“This…” Thanos, the teacher next to him, shuddered. If he delivered this message to those two, he imagined his head might get twisted off. These two teachers were among the top fighters in the school.
“Dean… it’s Teacher Sun Wukong and Teacher Beijita,” Thanos stammered.
“Which Teacher Sun Wukong? The Immortal Cultivation teacher Sun Wukong or the Qigong teacher Sun Wukong? Be clear!”
“Dean, it’s definitely Teacher Sun from the Qigong class!”
Ever since these robots were activated, Fang Huai had programmed them with characteristics based on their origins.
But over the years, most teachers’ personalities changed drastically, especially those born as villainous characters, who had become timid and apprehensive.
This was because, in the War Academy, a few teachers surpassed the Divine Ability User level, so their power wasn’t suppressed, allowing them to exert the full strength of this model of intelligent robots.
Sun Wukong and Beijita were prime examples of this.
Originally, Thanos had an arrogant and unruly personality, but after once provoking Beijita and getting beaten up, he became the timid figure he was now.
“What are those two up to?” Fang Jueyu asked.
“I don’t know either. Teacher Li Xiaoyao told me on the way here that they seemed to have argued again and then headed off in another direction.”
“Oh well, forget it. Whether they’re here or not doesn’t make much difference!” Fang Jueyu wasn’t concerned. These teachers’ presence was more than enough to shock Blair.
Indeed, by now, Blair’s palms and forehead were dripping with sweat. He initially thought that Principal Xiong was the only Mythical Realm master in this school, but now it seemed even a hundred times more were a fraction of those present!
Moreover, all the students from the school had gathered here, a sight that was startling. Over fifty thousand students, several thousand of whom had reached Superpower User and Innate Realm levels.
As he knew, Huaxia had at most five to six hundred people at the Innate Realm and Superpower User levels six months ago, most of whom were documented in their federation’s records.
And these? All were unfamiliar faces, almost none over 25 years old. This was unheard of!
“Alright, Mr. Blair, our academy’s teachers and students are all here. We can begin.” Xiong Ba raised his hand, signaling for Blair to proceed.
At this point, even if he had to bluff, Blair had to go on. No matter how many experts there were in this school, if he backed down now, he feared he’d lose all face.
“Fang… Fang Jueyu, are all these people really teachers at your school?” Long Ting was stunned.
“Yes, I told you, they’re experts hidden among Huaxia’s populace that I hired!” Fang Jueyu said without missing a beat.
“Seriously? Where does Huaxia have so many experts?” As the chairman of Yanhuang, Long Ting had considerable access rights. Although many hidden masters were registered, the highest recorded strength was only at the Divinity Transformation Realm and Eighth-tier Superpower User.
Even if there were this many experts, hiring them as teachers would cost a fortune.
Not to mention, on the international market, hiring an A-level Superpower User for a year costs millions or even tens of millions of US Dollars!
According to market rates, having a Divine-level Superpower User teach here would not be unreasonable at billions of dollars a year, and he had over a thousand such teachers!
Besides, to people of this power, what significance do money have?
“Heh, I’m not lying! Can you find such people if they want to hide?” Fang Jueyu retorted. “They mostly live in remote areas, in snowy mountains, volcanic craters, or underwater caves. You probably haven’t even heard of their existence!”
Long Ting was speechless at that. Indeed, if such powerful individuals didn’t want to be found, it would be impossible to discover them. But why was Fang Jueyu able to bring them out? And these teachers seemed intimidated by Fang Jueyu.
Not to mention, the giant teacher called Thanos beside him, with an aura that suggested he could kill Fang Jueyu with a punch, yet he spoke to Fang Jueyu with such deference!
“How did you manage to persuade them?”
“Because I have superpowers!”
“What superpowers?” Long Ting asked curiously.
“Cash! Power!” Fang Jueyu rubbed his fingers together, “I’m super-rich!”
“Get out! You’re all talk!”
“Hey, I’m not lying!” Fang Jueyu casually took out an Energy Baryte. “Look, this is an Energy Baryte produced from a quarry owned by the Fang Family!”
“This… what potent energy!” Long Ting had never seen such an Energy Baryte, but she could sense a powerful force from it!
“Once they reach this level, only a few things can significantly enhance their power. This Energy Baryte is one of them!” Fang Jueyu fibbed; in truth, the Energy Baryte was just the energy source for these robots—a glorified battery! But Long Ting didn’t know that!
“That’s why they agreed to work here!” Fang Jueyu casually tossed the Energy Baryte to Thanos beside him. “Mr. Thanos, I never take back what I’ve given, and this is yours now!”
“Heh heh! Thank you, Dean! Thank you!” Thanos accepted the Energy Baryte cheerfully.
“It’s actually true!” Seeing the sycophantic expression on Thanos’s face, Long Ting had to admit there was some truth there. Having wealth truly was impressive; it could make even such formidable figures completely loyal.
Suddenly, Thanos shivered because he noticed countless teachers’ gazes fixed on him, realizing this Energy Baryte wasn’t discreetly given by Fang Jueyu but openly.
So, all the teachers around were aware of it!
Although Thanos’s power reached the Divine Ability User level, it was only an intermediate level. For those high-level and peak Divine Ability Users, beating him was like child’s play. Once the competition ended, how could Thanos keep it?
Handing it over was unthinkable, but keeping it invited an inevitable thrashing, leaving him stuck between a rock and a hard place.
“Dean, you’ve set me up for disaster!” Thanos wept bitterly…
What do you think?
