Chapter 117-118 Choosing Direction
Just over two meters in front of the two girls was the round lectern, and at such a close distance, any content explained by the instructor could surely be heard loud and clear.
From the manual distributed by the academy, Xin Yun knew that the ones who could sit in this position were the first in their first-grade segment. However... traditionally there was only one such student, but this year there were two, an exception, because... both Yi Luo Xiang and Yan Qingying were too talented, too gifted, with too much potential.
Although there was a gap between them, neither could be dismissed.
The first-in-class students possessed many privileges, including the ability to interrupt the instructor's explanation to raise their hand and ask questions at any time, a right no one else had.
Moreover, during instruction, the teacher would also favor the first-in-class students. After all... they were the instructor's direct disciples. Wherever they went, whenever it was, they represented the instructor's achievements, while the others were just students, unable to represent their teacher.
As the students from the extracurricular classes arrived, at last... all the first-grade students had entered the hall. Simultaneously, a crisp sound of footsteps came from a side door near the lectern.
"Ooh..." The next moment, a figure clad in a fiery red leather coat, with a curvaceous figure and an enchanting demeanor, sashayed in from the side door, walked down the spacious aisle to the two-meter-diameter platform, casually placed the lesson plan on the lectern, and then slowly swept her charming eyes across the hall.
"Is it her?" Upon seeing this scene, Xin Yun was taken aback. The voluptuous and flirtatious woman was the same Dragon Handler who had tested everyone's gifts, qualifications, and potential on the day of the selection competition using a Fox Dragon. He hadn't expected her to be a first-grade instructor...
"Alright, everyone is here, let's begin the class!" At last, after surveying the room, the sultry instructor's voice rang out softly.
Just as the instructor finished speaking, Yi Luo Xiang and Yan Qingying stood up simultaneously. At the same time, Yi Luo Xiang called out crisply, "Everyone, stand up!"
Hearing Yan Qingying's voice, all the students hesitated, completely unsure of what was happening. Why was this girl arbitrarily yelling for everyone to stand up?
During their hesitation, some students stood up, but many others remained seated, some in a daze, others with a look of disdain. After all... before they came here, they all considered themselves the favored ones. Who was to submit to whom? Why should they take orders?

"Snap!" Seeing this scene, Instructor Mei Wu on the lectern suddenly shot up her eyebrows in anger and rebuked loudly, "Are you all deaf? Or do you not understand what the words of the first-in-class mean in the classroom!"
Following Instructor Mei Wu's scolding, all the students suddenly remembered. It was written clearly in the student handbook that in the classroom, the first-in-class's words were as binding as the instructor's. Resisting was an option, but any who did, well, the academy would not hesitate to show them the door...
"Rustle, rustle..." Instantly, a series of sounds of standing up began to echo chaotically. Although grudgingly, nobody dared to risk being expelled by resisting.
Seeing everyone rise, Instructor Mei Wu still frowned, scolding gently, "This is the first time; since you are all new students, I won't hold it against you. If there's a next time, whoever you are, just get out. Combat Dragon Academy doesn't need such scum!"
Hearing Instructor Mei Wu's words, all the students were struck with silence, not even daring to breathe too loudly. In Combat Dragon Academy, an instructor's position was sacrosanct and inviolable. Any student who tried to challenge that would be unhesitatingly expelled, never to be re-admitted.
Casting a cold glance around the room, Mei Wu turned her head, her previously icy expression instantly becoming gentle, softly telling Yi Luo Xiang and Yan Qingying, "Go on with your duties..." The stark contrast in her demeanor left everyone astounded and gasping in surprise. Being the same person, how could she be so different?
Hearing Instructor Mei Wu's words, the two girls nodded simultaneously. Then... Yan Qingying gently opened her lips, her voice cold as she said, "Salute!" Following her command, led by Yi Luo Xiang and Yan Qingying, the students bowed their heads slightly, bent forward at the waist, and respectfully saluted toward the instructor's position.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
As this unfolded, irrespective of what everyone was thinking, no one dared to cause trouble at this moment. Instead, they imitated Yi Luo Xiang and Yan Qingying, reverently bowing to the instructor.
In the face of all this, Instructor Mei Wu smiled with satisfaction. This was a tradition of Combat Dragon Academy, a sign of respect for instructors who impart knowledge and resolve doubts. After all, if one couldn't respect an instructor, how could they humble themselves to learn from them?
After the salute was complete, Mei Wu nodded and said softly, "Please sit down..."
Hearing the instructor's command, all the students sat back down. Once everyone was seated, Mei Wu's expression became serious again as she commanded, "Today is our first lesson, and there are many things you may not be familiar with, so let me emphasize, I am only here to teach. As for all the class matters, they will be managed by the two first-in-class students. Everybody clear on that?"
