Ace Of Terrans

Chapter 317 Assessment.

Shi Lang has been a teacher for three days now. He could see that the students were all sincere. Since this was the case, he did not hold back and guided them personally. An entire day was spent pointing out the problems each of these children had and he also told them how to correct them. His methods were effective.

Tomorrow was the weekend and how he has invited Martha to his place. Thinking about it, investigating things on his own would be rather slow. He looked in front of him and observed the students, and thought of something. He smirked and said, “Class.”

The students all raised their heads and met his sparkling eyes. They have already agreed to whatever he had to say. Shi Lang almost shivered at the enthusiasm he noticed in their eyes. He calmed himself and stood up. He said, “The internal assessment is coming around, right?”

The students nodded and waited for the teacher to continue, who said, “So, I have a simple assessment for you all here. If you agree to even take part in it, I will grant you all a passing grade in the physical assessment. The marks will be increased depending on your performance in the assessment I have for you.”

Theseus said, “Teacher, please skip the build-up.”

The rest of the class said in unison, “Yes.”

Shi Lang smiled and said, “I want you all to accompany me on a trip to Jung-ta district, and then help around in investigating a matter of great moral significance. The number of participants is not restricted. What do you think? Better than getting battered under my blows in the physical assessment, right?”

Theseus was the class monitor, meaning he would have to weigh the pros and cons of the class and then have a discussion among themselves. Only then will the decision be given. Shi Lang waited for the bell to ring and said, “See you guys on Monday, if you have any questions or want to talk to me, you have my comm-id.”

Then he walked out of the classroom, leaving the students alone. Theseus asked, “Any opinions?”

A guy raised his hand and asked, “Class monitor, will it be too dangerous for us to participate? After all, we are all still in school.”

Theseus did not reply and waited for a few seconds to see if anyone else wished to put forward any opinions. Since none of the people came forward, the young man said, “The teacher is also aware of the situation, since he asked us to join him, then I can only think of two options.

One is that the situation is not dangerous and the teacher has confirmed it beforehand. Second, he wants to temper us. I understand that we are all just highschool students, but how many of our peers get a chance like this? They all are sent to the front after a series of trials. This is a golden opportunity for us to learn the way of the elites.

I only ask you all to think carefully. Do you wish to be held back by the stigma of danger? Even walking has a risk of falling on your face. I am going to follow the teacher tomorrow, my mind is set.”

The monologue ended and the students of the class exchanged glances and then said, “We agree.”

Theseus nodded and immediately called Shi Lang.

…

Shi Lang was walking home slowly when his communicator rang and he connected a call. Theseus spoke, “Sir, we agree unanimously to take part in the assessment, but may I ask if there is a death risk involved?”

Shi Lang was very impressed to see their decisiveness and their guts. He liked how Theseus asked him this question and since he did not know the situation, the young man directly replied, “I have not yet assessed the situation in that zone. However, since you all have agreed, consider yourselves passed, but only in the physical examination. I have told you that I need to go to Jung-ta. If you still wish to follow me and then find things to be risky, you are free to withdraw and inform me about it. How does that sound to you all?”

Theseus was silent, probably communicating with his classmates and they all nodded to him as he replied, “Yes, Sir. Where do we meet?”

Shi Lang thought about it and said, “We will regroup in front of the academy gates. I want to you all to study the Jung-ta district and then prepare accordingly. Understood?”

After receiving a positive reply, he disconnected the call and headed home to meet Martha and tell her about his idea.

…

At home, Luna, and the rest of the family were sitting around the dining table and were glaring at shi Lang who was feeding Tao with his own hands. The little girl did not make a fuss and ate all he gave her. She was very moved by the care she received. The two grandmothers loved her a lot, if she gazed at things for more than a minute they will directly ask if she liked them.

Tao was not weak now, she would faintly smile at the things of these people. Shi Lang was the most pampering one as he would feed her with his hands and teach her things while telling her stories at night. The heart of a child was not very hard to please.

However, this heart of the child was also what Shi Lang was being glared at for. He had just disclosed to them that he will be taking his class out for a field trip. Martha guessed what was happening and exclaimed if he was mad, and then everything was exposed. Shi Lang convinced his parents that nothing will happen to the children, but when have parents ever listened to the youth?

Shi John asked, “How confident are you to bring them back unharmed? This was a mistake.”

Shi Lang looked at his father and said, “Do not worry. I know what I am doing.”

The family could only sigh and they agreed to let him do what he wanted to do. The next morning, he stood up from the bed and dressed in a tee shirt, cargo pants, and black sneakers and his body language changed from a soldier to a hardcore rowdy.

He inspected himself in a mirror before he went out of the house. For the matter of convenience Martha also stayed the night and the three ladies had a good time together. In the morning the lady also dressed in her casual attire and followed Shi Lang. She was surprised to see that the young man had prepared an armored lev-car for them.

The speed of this vehicle was not slow and neither was it too odd in that area. She asked, “The students?”

Shi Lang said, “School gates.”

Then the car fell silent. They arrived at the decided time and found the class to have gathered already. Shi Lang got off the lev-car and inspected them. To his surprise, they were all wearing casuals. If someone did not know what they intended to do, they would have thought this bunch of teenagers were her to raid the school.

Shi Lang nodded to them but he did not notice any vehicles and asked, “Shall I arrange transport for you all?”

Theseus shook his head and said, “I have arranged a big bus for us all. You just need to brief us on the way. As we have learned that place is not very stranger friendly.”

Shi Lang nodded and said, “About that, you are on point. Let’s travel in the bus, I will cover the expense.”

Theseus wanted to protest but the people held him back. He was irritated and asked, “What is wrong with you all?”

Vanessa shook her head and said, “Class Monitor, have you forgotten the misery we suffered when he just came to the class? This payment will be taken as compensation to our brothers and sisters.”

Theseus woke up by her words and said, “You are very smart, I almost forgot about that, I will give him a bigger bill.”

The rest of the people nodded as they all boarded the bus, Shi Lang parked his vehicle inside the academy and joined the students with Martha. The young general made the introductions and said, “The reason we are going to that district is to look for the origins of a little girl. The motive is just to investigate and not to engage in combat. You all are just too weak. Also, to avoid suspicion, we will be pouring out slowly. Understood?”

The class nodded and then a few more questions popped up. Theseus was the last one to speak and said, “Teacher, everything is fine, but why is this thing important?”

Shi Lang looked at the guy and said, “She is my disciple.”

The people were enlightened by this sentence and to be honest, they were a little jealous of her, even though they had never seen her. Shi Lang could sense this and said, “I cannot accept you all as my disciples if you are to follow the school rules. So let’s see after graduation.”

He politely diverted the situation and the students became energetic again.
