Douluo: The Gate to Heaven

Hearing Mu Jin's words, Du Ruoshui smiled, "That's more interesting, isn't it? It's been a long time since I've interacted with these children, and I've really missed this feeling. Teacher Mu, how about we guess how many children will meet my standard and arrive at the classroom within an hour?"

Mu Jin gave Du Ruoshui a deep look. If she didn't know that the other party was only one step away from becoming a top-level teacher in the inner academy, she would have really thought it was a prank. However, Mu Jin obviously had no intention of playing around with Du Ruoshui.

"I'll wait for you in the classroom." After saying this, Mu Jin turned and left.

One hour later.

Tuoba Wukong, carrying a heavy iron armor on his back, finally stepped into the classroom of Class 2, Grade 1.

At this moment, he was soaked in sweat from head to toe, and his soul power was completely depleted. He had only managed to hold on until now by sheer willpower and arrive at the classroom to assemble at the appointed time.

At this moment, less than half of the students have arrived at the classroom.

When Du Ruoshui saw Tuoba Wukong, she couldn't help but laugh and clapped her hands. "Good, very good, Tuoba Wukong, you truly deserve to be the champion of this year's freshman competition. Even with four iron armors on your back, you were still able to arrive at the classroom on time as I requested. I have to say, I'm starting to like you."

Du Ruoshui smiled, seemingly genuinely appreciating Tuoba Wukong's talent and strength, and continued, "To acknowledge your talent, I've decided that you will be the class monitor of Class 2, Grade 1."

"Who opposes, and who supports?"

(This sentence is logically repetitive with the previous sentence "Who opposes and who supports?", and is corrected to:) Du Ruoshui asked in addition.

The members of Class Two who arrived at the classroom in time looked at each other in bewilderment and couldn't help but glance at Xie Huanyue.

In Class Two, only Xie Huanyue is qualified to compete with Tuoba Wukong for the position of Class Two Leader.

While the class monitor may not have any special privileges in Shrek Academy, having the experience of serving as class monitor is a valuable asset, both among the academy's teachers and in the outside world's sects and families, and will earn one more respect.

Besides, who isn't a genius who gets into Shrek Academy? Having that connection is a huge advantage in itself.

However, most people also know very well that if they don't have enough strength, getting the position of class monitor will only be a disgrace. The students of Shrek Academy are not obedient girls. If they can't win the respect of the students, they won't be able to hold the position of class monitor.

Du Ruoshui's gaze followed everyone else and landed on Xie Huanyue. "What's wrong, Xie Huanyue? Do you have a problem with that?"

"No, no." Meeting Du Ruoshui's ambiguous smile, Xie Huanyue shuddered and hurriedly shook his head vigorously.

Just kidding, this show of force almost killed him. Everyone knows Du Ruoshui's petty nature, and he doesn't want to continue to be resented by her.

It's just a class monitor position; we can just give it to Tuoba Wukong.

"Very good. Since no one objects, then with our unanimous approval, the class monitor of Class 2, Grade 1 will be Tuoba Wukong. Let's all give Tuoba Wukong a round of applause," Du Ruoshui nodded in satisfaction and led the applause.

Soon, thunderous applause erupted in the classroom of Class 2, Grade 1.

However, Tuoba Wukong had a bad feeling when he saw the smile in Du Ruoshui's eyes. Just as he was about to refuse, Du Ruoshui's second sentence rang out.

Du Ruoshui said with a pained expression, "As students of Shrek Academy, the most outstanding academy on the continent, and having gone through layers of assessments, I never expected that your physical fitness would be so poor. You can't even finish a mere hundred laps in an hour. I'm truly disappointed."

Watching Du Ruoshui's exaggerated performance, Mu Jin couldn't help but roll her eyes. She knew that Du Ruoshui would definitely have something to say next, but she was also curious about what Du Ruoshui would do, so she remained silent.

Each class has one head teacher and one assistant head teacher. She is only the assistant head teacher, and the teaching tasks are mainly handled by Du Ruoshui. She can only assist.

Just like Wang Yan and Zhou Yi in Class 1 of Grade 1, theoretically, Wang Yan has the right to decide any matter in Class 1, while Zhou Yi only has the right to assist. However, given their personalities, the relationship between the two will probably be reversed.

Mu Jin certainly didn't have Zhou Yi's assertive personality, and Mu Jin wasn't confident enough to believe that her teaching ability was stronger than Du Ruoshui's, who was only one step away from becoming a top-level teacher in the inner academy.

Mu Jin just wants to know what Du Ruoshui is up to!

Sure enough, Du Ruoshui's expression turned serious as she looked at Tuoba Wukong and said, "Tuoba Wukong, as the class monitor of Class Two, don't you feel guilty that so many students in your class haven't met my standards? Don't you feel that you haven't fulfilled your responsibilities as class monitor? How can you bear to watch your classmates, who will be with you day and night, sharing life and death, and whom you can entrust your lives to, suffering outside while you enjoy yourself in your seat?"

"As the class monitor, shouldn't you take the lead and voluntarily suffer alongside your classmates?"

What a masterful tactic of moral blackmail and shifting blame!

Heaven knows that Tuoba Wukong basically didn't know the students from Class Two who were still running outside before this, so how could the blame for their failure to complete Du Ruoshui's task be placed on him?

Tuoba Wukong glanced at Du Ruoshui for a moment, then without saying a word, he shouldered four iron armors and turned to walk out of the playground.

He knew that even if he objected, Du Ruoshui would have plenty of reasons to let him continue running around outside.

After Tuoba Wukong left, Du Ruoshui's gaze fell on the remaining students in Class Two. She said coldly, "Your class monitor is setting an example by helping the lagging students improve. How can you bear to watch? How can you bear to see him running alone?"

Meeting Du Ruoshui's icy gaze, the remaining students of Class Two, though unwilling, felt a chill run down their spines and had no choice but to grit their teeth, put on their iron armor, and run towards the training ground...

Night falls.

The students of Class 2 were like scattered chess pieces, lying densely packed on the Shrek Academy playground.

Some of the Shrek Academy's senior students who were passing by couldn't help but gasp in astonishment. "Holy crap, who's so ruthless? Everyone from Class 2 of the first year should be here, over a hundred people, and not a single one escaped!!!"

"Who else but Du Laomo could pull off this style?" a fifth-year student said gloatingly.

"Old Demon Du, isn't he about to enter the inner academy? How come he's in the mood to torture the freshmen? Everyone knows that although Old Demon Du has never expelled any student, many students leave the school every year because they can't stand his cruel methods..." someone asked with doubt.

"Who knows? I heard it was reported by this year's freshmen. Judging from the situation, it's probably true. And it's unlikely that he was brought down by Old Demon Du, right? After all, although Old Demon Du is ruthless, he's still quite gentle with the freshmen." A tall, blond boy with thick eyebrows and fierce eyes couldn't hide his gloating smile. He chewed on a blade of grass and said with a carefree and wicked grin.

"Boring." A stunningly beautiful woman with skin as white as snow and an ethereal beauty happened to pass by. Her gaze fell on the boy, and she made no attempt to hide her disgust. She coldly uttered a word and turned to leave.

"Nan Nan!" The blond boy's gaze fell on the woman, and he immediately revealed a fawning expression, quickly chasing after her...

After an unknown amount of time, one of the people lying in Shrek Academy Square finally stood up unsteadily. Tuoba Wukong staggered and struggled to his feet, walking step by step towards his dormitory.

It has to be said that Du Ruoshui never intended for anyone to leave the playground standing up. Running one less lap would result in a ten-lap penalty. Given their already exhausted state, even Tuoba Wukong and the others would not be able to continue completing the task.

However, because the trainees who had already completed the task "voluntarily" came out to keep up, even though the last trainees were exhausted, not one of them gave up easily.

The entire Class 2 of Grade 1 displayed an amazing unity.

In the end, everyone collapsed on the playground.

In the distance, two figures appeared; they were Du Ruoshui and Mu Jin.

Mu Jin looked at Du Ruoshui with a hint of admiration and said, "Teacher Du, you truly deserve to be the top teacher in the Foreign Languages ​​Department. I admire your skills."

Having gone through this life-and-death ordeal together, Class 2 of Grade 1 has become united as one, and will surely unleash amazing power in the future.

A class is a whole, and in this atmosphere, both the teacher's future teaching and the students' own hard work will unleash amazing potential.

Du Ruoshui's gaze fell on the swaying, "frail" figure on the playground, and a hint of admiration flashed in her eyes.

According to Du Ruoshui's calculations, even Tuoba Wukong should have been exhausted. The fact that he was able to stand up now was purely due to his amazing willpower. With this kind of willpower, even if his talent is ordinary, his future achievements will definitely be quite amazing.

It seems that Dean Yan misjudged the situation this time.

Du Ruoshui thought to herself, but her face showed a dead pig not afraid of boiling water. "Teacher Mu, you overestimate me. I was just settling a personal score. That brat Tuoba Wukong lost my chance to teach in the inner academy with a single lawsuit."

Mu Jin ignored Du Ruoshui's words and asked, "What should we do with these trainees? Many of them are severely exhausted this time. If we don't handle it properly, it could damage their very foundation."

"Someone will take them to the pharmacy later. I've already prepared the medicinal bath," Du Ruoshui said calmly.

"What about Tuoba Wukong?" Mu Jin asked, looking at Tuoba Wukong who had already staggered away from the playground.

Du Ruoshui shook her head, looking distressed as she carefully calculated, "This medicinal bath was subsidized by my own teacher's allowance. The fact that the kid can still stand up means that his body hasn't reached its limit yet, so whether he takes a medicinal bath or not makes no difference."

"Having one less person saved me dozens of gold coins. Sigh, I'm not a senior teacher anymore, so every little bit helps..."
