Although Tang San was indeed very hungry at the moment, he wouldn't resort to begging. He also felt that given his teacher's prideful personality, Yu Xiaogang would never do such a thing.
However, Yu Xiaogang's subsequent actions made Tang San begin to doubt his previous thoughts. Yu Xiaogang actually took out another pair of chopsticks, tapped them twice on the large bowl, and then directly placed the bowl and chopsticks into Tang San's hands.
"Teacher, do you mean...?" Tang San didn't dare to speak directly, only asking tentatively.
Yu Xiaogang looked at the large bowl and chopsticks in Tang San's hand, looking very satisfied. Then he pointed to a restaurant by the roadside and said, "Tang San, take this bowl and chopsticks and go to that restaurant to get something to eat. Remember to say some nice words!"
Tang San was dumbfounded upon hearing this. "Teacher, isn't this... isn't this begging?"
"Hmm?" Yu Xiaogang's brows furrowed instantly. "Can this be called begging? This is called seeking alms!"
At the same time, the Shrek Academy group also woke up one after another. Compared to the miserable situation of Tang San and his teacher, their meal was much more lavish.
While everyone was eating breakfast, Qin Ming briefly introduced the personnel structure of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
The students of Heaven Dou Royal Academy were divided into three levels:
Heaven Minor level: Newly enrolled students and those with less than level twenty-five Spirit Power.
Heaven Supreme level: Students between level twenty-five and level thirty.
Heaven Dou level: Students above level thirty.
The seven members of the Royal Fight Team, for example, were all elites among the Heaven Dou level. The people the Shrek Academy group encountered at the foot of the mountain the day before were all Heaven Minor level students.
The teacher's grading system was the same as the students', but the requirements were higher. Spirit Power reaching level forty was the entry threshold for teachers at Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and also for most advanced Spirit Master academies.
Teachers above level forty and below level fifty were Heaven Minor level teachers.
Those between level fifty and level sixty were Heaven Supreme level teachers. Sun Buyu, whom they met yesterday, was a level fifty-three Heaven Supreme level teacher.
Those above level sixty were Heaven Dou level teachers. Qin Ming had only recently become a Heaven Dou level teacher.
Because Heaven Dou Royal Academy was affiliated with the Heaven Dou Empire royal family, the nominal dean was His Majesty, the current Emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire. Therefore, there was no position of 'dean' within the academy. The three oldest and most powerful Heaven Dou level teachers formed the Education Committee. The academy's high-level officials Qin Ming referred to were these three. All major and minor affairs of the academy were decided by the Education Committee. For some more important matters, they still needed to report to the Heaven Dou Empire royal family. The Heaven Dou Empire royal family attached great importance to the academy. Although the Heaven Dou Emperor was too busy to oversee it, he would usually appoint a noble royal family member to be responsible for the academy's affairs. For some important decisions, the Education Committee also needed to seek approval from above.
Currently, the three elder teachers of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy's Education Committee were all Spirit Douluo above level eighty. The teaching staff was extremely strong, with as many as eight Heaven Dou level teachers, which was extremely rare in the entire Heaven Dou Empire.
After listening to Qin Ming, Flender laughed. "Then, does that mean we can all be Heaven Dou level teachers too?"
Qin Ming laughed. "Of course! Heaven Dou level teachers hold a high position in the academy and generally only guide Heaven Dou level students. And Heaven Dou level students only account for one-tenth of the total number. The teaching work is very relaxed, but the treatment is very high. In addition to all living expenses within the academy being covered by the academy, there is an additional three thousand gold coins per month as remuneration. In special circumstances, there will be other income as well."
"Three thousand? How extravagant," Flender muttered. As a former dean, he was very concerned about the income issue, though he hadn't felt comfortable asking. Now, hearing Qin Ming mention the figure of three thousand gold coins, he was greatly satisfied, and the smile on his face instantly grew wider. His satisfaction with Heaven Dou Royal Academy naturally soared.
"Qin Ming, lead the way. Let's go meet those three seniors from the Education Committee."
"Alright."
The Heaven Dou Royal Academy Education Committee was located in the center of the main campus. It was the largest building within the entire main campus. Although it was also a single-story building, its highest point was ten meters high. It looked somewhat like Spirit Hall.
As newcomers, all the teachers and students of Shrek Academy came here under Qin Ming's guidance. No matter how good the conditions were, this was not Shrek Academy after all. It was not their own place, so they naturally couldn't be as uninhibited as before. Although Flender always had a smile on his face, having been accustomed to freedom for so many years, he felt a little bittersweet at this moment. No matter how small Shrek Academy was, he was still the dean. No matter how good Heaven Dou Royal Academy was, it ultimately wasn't as intimate as his own home.
However, Flender's mood quickly lightened a lot. When their group arrived at the entrance of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy Education Committee, three old men were already waiting there. Although the three old men were simply standing there, they gave off a very special feeling. It was as if the three of them were the core of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy's main campus, and even the entire academy. Even though they had gentle smiles on their faces, the special aura of a strong person could not be hidden.
The three old men were all wearing black robes. The robes were embroidered with some strange patterns in gold thread. These robes were not exclusive to them. Instead, Spirit Masters above level eighty, who held the title of Spirit Douluo, could receive them from Spirit Hall. They were custom ceremonial robes representing their identity. They were second only to the red ceremonial robes of Titled Douluo. Generally speaking, Spirit Douluo and Titled Douluo rarely wore such ceremonial robes. They represented not only status but also solemnity. Only when dueling with opponents of the same level, or in extremely important situations, would these custom ceremonial robes exclusive to Spirit Douluo appear.
And at this moment, these three old men wearing ceremonial robes would naturally not be there for a duel. Therefore, it could only prove one thing: It proved their high level of attention to the Shrek Academy group. Moreover, these three elders had personally come to the entrance of the Education Committee to greet them. Even if Flender were more arrogant, facing such a situation, he couldn't help but feel a sense of being flattered.
He had always believed in treating others as they treated him, or even better. Since the other party showed such respect, how could he not reciprocate? Flender quickened his pace, taking a few steps forward. When he stopped, his hands were already crossed over his shoulders. Then he bowed slightly.
"Shrek Academy, Flender," he introduced himself. "Spirit: Owl, Agility-Attack system, level seventy-eight, seven-ring Battle Spirit Emperor. I greet the three seniors!"
In the Spirit Master world, such a gesture was the courtesy shown by a junior to a senior. Although Flender was also over fifty years old, facing these three elders who were at least eighty years old, his junior's courtesy was not excessive.
