Absolute Great Teacher

Chapter 1165: Dispute of Choice Regarding the Headmaster of the Black-White Academy!

Translator: Lordbluefire

In the school’s meeting room, 76 members from the upper echelons of the Black-White Academy, had gathered. Even a few hegemons who had retired were here.

However, everyone felt that this was something normal. After all, Headmaster Song had been in seclusion for several years. Now that he had returned, he naturally wanted to have a meeting with all the important personnel to resolve some problems of the school and to determine their future direction.

However, the moment Headmaster Song spoke and raised the topic, everyone was stunned into dumbfoundedness.

“I suggest we recruit Sun Mo and nurture him to become the next headmaster of the Black-White Academy.”

For a time, the entire meeting room became completely silent.

If Headmaster Song wasn’t a Saint and had immense prestige, there would immediately be major characters questioning him right now. (Have your brains gone bad?)

Let alone the other schools from the Nine Greats, even those from the ‘A-grade’ and ‘B-grade’, the majority of them only had headmasters who were great teachers that had worked for more than 30 years in the school.

Some schools even limited their choices of headmasters to students who had once graduated from them.

This was to preserve their culture. Besides, when one graduated from the same school, only then would they do their utmost to protect everything about the school.

“Given Sun Mo’s contribution to our school, I have no objections if you want to give him a vice headmaster position. But being the headmaster? Isn’t this too much of a joke?”

Liu Zhong’s expression turned heavy. He was a secondary saint and naturally had the confidence to speak.

“You must not have seen Sun Mo’s resume. I feel that he is fully qualified for this.”

Xie Enhui helped Headmaster Song. “If our Black-White Academy can obtain him, we will be like a tiger with wings. It’s not impossible for us to become the number one academy in the Nine Provinces.”

“The headmasters of our schools have always been graduates of our school. They worked in the school as great teachers before slowly being promoted up all the way. Now if we suddenly invite Sun Mo, we would have broken this rule!”

“I admit that Sun Mo is very outstanding, but does he have any feelings for our school?”

“Right, I feel that loyalty is more important than talent.”

The majority of the major characters didn’t agree with this suggestion.

Bluntly speaking, other than treating Sun Mo as an outsider, it was mostly because of benefits.

Being the headmaster meant that he was qualified to learn the ultimate divine art of the Black-White Academy and would possess great power and authority. For such a position, who wouldn’t want someone who had a closer relationship with them to assume it?

Right now, for those reserve headmasters of the school, which of them didn’t have major characters backing them?

Headmaster Song stared at these people arguing and no longer spoke.

“Headmaster, we better discuss this matter again.”

Liu Zhong’s expression turned heavy.

“Say, everyone. Do you guys ever thought that Sun Mo might not even care for this position?”

Zhang Chun interjected.

This time around, several major characters shut up.

There were no solutions as this person speaking was a secondary saint.

In the great teacher circle, there was a publicly acknowledged ‘level-chain’. Whoever had the highest star rank would have the greatest power of speech. Zhang Chun might be a newly ascended secondary saint and had only been one for a year. But even so, he was still a secondary saint.

“Zhang Chun, I know that you want to repay Sun Mo for his help in causing you to become a secondary saint. But there’s no need for you to betray the interest of the several tens of thousands of people in the school, right?”

Liu Zhong ridiculed.

The meaning in his words was clear. After Sun Mo became the headmaster, Zhang Chun would definitely be one of those who benefited due to the relationship between him and Sun Mo.

“Teacher Liu, you are underestimating me too much!”

Zhang Chun coldly snorted. “Although I’ve only been a secondary saint for a short period, I also know that I should always consider the school’s interest first instead of forming my own faction and being selfish, causing harm to the school’s future!”

“Fool!”

Liu Zhong’s eyes widened in rage. (You are just a newly ascended secondary saint, yet you dare to be so rude to me?)

(He is really lacking in morals and his humanity has withered away!)

(He ought to be killed!)

“Look at how tyrannical you are, not permitting others to have a different opinion!”

Zhang Chun mentally mused. (This daddy isn’t afraid of you.)

During this era, the identity of a secondary saint was his confidence.

When he thought of this, Zhang Chun’s gratitude toward Sun Mo increased by a bit again. If it wasn’t for him, Zhang Chun would probably have no way to sit here in his entire life and argue against a secondary saint.

(However, my luck is also good. If I didn’t go to hear Sun Mo’s lecture, I wouldn’t encounter something so fortunate.)

“Enough, don’t quarrel any more!”

Headmaster Song knocked on the table.

“There’s also another matter. I have to tell you guys that not only did Sun Mo clear the Black-White Game, but he also obtained all the authority of the Black-White Star Disk. It also means that in the future, without his permission, no one would be able to use the Black-White Star Disk.”

The entire meeting room sank into silence.

These major characters stared at Headmaster Song with astonishment and shock on their faces.

The Black-White Star Disk was the ultimate treasure of their academy!

This dark secret treasure could allow great teachers to play the Black-White Games and experience another life.

One couldn’t live life again, but one could always restart a game. Hence, many great teachers wanted to search for the logic of life in games.

Many great teachers of the Black-White Academy depended on the Black-White Game to comprehend great teacher halos.

This Liu Zhong was precisely someone that became a marquis, a premier, even rebelling and being unfilial to his game parents before he ultimately managed to comprehend his own dao and ascended to become a secondary saint.

Other than the life-simulation games, the Black-White Game had another ability. It had a virtual battle arena and in this arena, everyone could fight while going all out, testing out their various ultimate techniques. Even if they ‘died’, they could still be revived.

Experiencing this type of life-and-death battle would directly allow the teachers and students to possess an abundance of experience in combat.

Hence, their average level of combat expertise was the highest among all of the Nine Greats.

Other than this, the Black-White Star Disk also possessed many unknown magical abilities. In the end, its sole authority was obtained by Sun Mo. How could they allow this to happen?

Just look at the name of the ‘Black-White Academy’, it was named like that because of the Black-White Star Disk. With no star disk, wouldn’t that mean that their academy had to change its name?

“Song Yan, you are truly the shame of the Black-White Academy!”

Liu Zhong couldn’t bear it and cursed out.

“Yeah, but no matter what, I’m stronger than someone like you who doesn’t even dare to enter the Black-White Game, right?”

Headmaster Song didn’t get angry, but he didn’t lose out in a war of words.

Every major character here felt depressed.

If Sun Mo wanted to forcefully take the Black-White Star Disk away, should they stop him?

Once they stopped him, their relationship would surely turn bad. Without Sun Mo, they clearly wouldn’t be able to use the star disk anymore. In that case, what difference would the star disk be from a useless item?

But allowing Sun Mo to take it away?

No!

It definitely wouldn’t be permitted!

Or could it be that they could only let him become the headmaster?

“Everyone, Secondary Saint Zhang’s concerns are legitimate. We have to consider this fact. What if Sun Mo isn’t willing to become the Headmaster of our school? What should we do? Who should the Black-White Star Disk belong to?”

Headmaster Song felt a headache.

“Unless Sun Mo has brain damage, it’s impossible for him to disagree.”

Liu Zhong felt that Headmaster Song had groundless fears. Which great teachers wouldn’t want a position like that? As long as they told Sun Mo about this, he definitely would agree.

“There’s also another matter. Currently, our school’s atmosphere is very bad. I will give everyone three months for self-reflection. After that, I will personally act and if I hurt anyone, don’t come and cry and complain!”

Headmaster Song’s words were spoken in a very calm tone, but when it landed in the ears of everyone, it was like a thunderclap, causing their expressions to change drastically.

“Let the meeting end!”

Headmaster Song stood up and left.

...

“Have you heard? Sun-laoshi is Gandalf. [A Dream of Red Mansions] and [Journey to the West] are both written by him!”

“Is this real? Teacher Sun is actually a literary giant?”

“Should we look for him to urge him for chapter updates?”

The news that Sun Mo was Gandalf rapidly spread throughout the entire campus.

The [A Dream of Red Mansions] first appeared in a bookstore in Liaojing. Many people had gone to inquire who the author was, but they obtained no information. Everyone respectively started guessing that the author should be a great teacher in the Black-White Academy.

At the start, everyone didn’t really care much who the author was. But as the fame of this book grew greater and greater and became an explosive tale that was on the same level as [Journey to the West] in addition to the fact that they had the same author, this caused everyone’s curiosity to rise.

Now after knowing that it was Sun Mo, everyone was incomparably impressed.

(Is this person an all-rounder?)

“After I graduate, I plan to seek employment at the Central Province Academy!”

Tang Qian hugged her books as she walked together with Zhang Guoping. When she heard the students passing by discussing Sun Mo, she revealed this tiny secret in her heart to her best friend.

“Why?”

Zhang Guoping couldn’t understand.

“Liaojing is too cold. I wish to live in the flourishing Jiangnan. Also, don’t you feel that Sun Mo would become a legendary great teacher? I wish to get closer to him and watch a saint being born!”

Tang Qian smiled. “Naturally, I want to learn some things from him too.”

“I don’t like to leave my hometown.”

Zhang Guoping shook her head.

“I don’t like it either, but I think I definitely won’t be able to continue staying in school with my results. So, I might as well head to the Central Province Academy. With Sun Mo’s capabilities, there shouldn’t be a problem for him to lead the school into the ‘A’-grade, right?”

Tang Qian lowered her voice. “If I join now, maybe in the future I will be able to get the position of a Doyen?”

Tang Guoping wanted to ridicule her by saying that she was thinking too much. But as her eyes swept toward a person walking to them, her body suddenly tensed.

“Good afternoon, Teacher Sun!”

Zhang Guoping exerted force and pulled her good friend.

“T...teacher Sun…”

Tang Qian’s expression was so frightened that her complexion turned green.

(Teacher Sun didn’t hear my words, right? Otherwise, I’d be a dead person!)

“Hi girls!”

Sun Mo stopped and stared at Zhang Guoping. “How do you feel living here?”

“P...pretty good!”

Zhang Guoping stuttered and felt a little uneasy. After all, Sun Mo was a major character.

Tang Qian had a dumbstruck look on her face.

(Why did you take the initiative to speak to Guoping?)

(Do you have high regards for her?)

(That shouldn’t be the case. Given Guoping’s appearance which was 3/10, even the fallback guys of other girls wouldn’t spare another look at her.)

“Young woman, you should head out and explore the world, broadening your horizons. I feel that Jiangnan isn’t bad. The customs and culture there will make you feel a different taste.”

Sun Mo smiled.

(Wow! Teacher Sun is so handsome!)

Tang Qian involuntarily gulped down a mouthful of saliva. She really wanted to take out an image-recording stone and record Teacher Sun’s smile.

If she used his photo as food accompaniment, she would surely be able to eat an additional bowl of white rice.

“I...I…”

Zhang Guoping wanted to die. She didn’t understand why Sun Mo was so friendly to her.

“Do you want to have an exchange year at the Central Province Academy? If you like it there, you can choose to stay!”

Sun Mo issued an invitation

“Ah?”

Tang Qian cried out and hurriedly clasped her hand over her mouth. She lowered her head but couldn’t help to sneak a glance at Zhang Guoping.

(Teacher Sun is trying to headhunt someone, right? And the person he wants is actually my best friend?)

(Could it be that my best friend is a genius that no one has discovered?)

(But no matter what, since she could get Sun Mo to regard her highly, her entire life will be stable from now on!)

(I’m so envious!)
