That night, Shi Lang cooked the food by himself and waited for his family to come back. He played with Tao for a bit before he went to sleep. The following day was the same, but today he was wearing clothes of his own.

Amelia was very thoughtful and selected a few sets of clothes and proper formal shoes for him before she went out to work. She also left a note, ‘Do not go out in military boots, give them a rest too.’

He smiled when he put on his ‘gear’ and went out to battle. The journey to the academy was uneventful as usual. However, his class was more cheerful than yesterday.

Shi Lang could not help but ask them, “Yo! What’s the happy occasion?”

Theseus stood up and asked, “Sir, today our class wants to hold a class committee election. If you permit us.”

Shi Lang was surprised by this proposal. He did not expect them to not only become obedient but also learn to arrange their own tasks. He nodded and said, “Fine, you can go ahead.”

Theseus stood up and came to stand below the podium. He face his classmates and said, “As we discussed earlier, there are four posts in the class management committee. The class monitor, the deputy class monitor, and two disciplinary officers.

The task of the class monitor is to manage the tasks and training. In contrast, the deputy class monitor will look after the other aspects of the student life like assignments, and organize study sessions to help each other cover the doubt points.

The disciplinary committee will be watchful of out-of-school lives and troublesome activities. If they found anyone making trouble, they can directly beat the hell out of them and report it to me and the Class Teacher. The classmates who prevail to stay at the top of the batch will be rewarded with free meals for a week.

The one who stays ahead in terms of discipline will be allowed to have a one-on-one sparring session with the class teacher to help him improve his skills.”

Shi Lang did not dare to believe, who came up with such ideas, and how did they manage to convince the whole class. This arrangement was going to turn the whole class into an interdependent yet competitive batch. They will be simply breaking their limits on a daily basis. He liked this plan but what made him surprised was his involvement as a private lesson instructor.

He asked, “What is that last thing you mentioned? I will be giving pointers to one of you privately, how come I do not know about this?”

Theseus turned back to look at him and said, “Sir, we are aware that we have no qualification to have you do us such a favor, however, your avatar is loaded with all your fighting skills from the early days in the simulator. I am fortunate enough to own a stimulator chamber at home, we all can use it for a planned amount of time.”

Shi Lang understood what was going on and nodded. Then Theseus turned around and asked, “Who wants to take on the place of the class monitor?”

None of the students raised their hands. Theseus cast them a weird gaze and asked, “Why?”

A guy raised his hand and said, “You take it, we will vote for the rest of the positions. You are the think tank so it is better that you be the monitor.”

Theseus thought for a bit and then he nodded, “Fine, I will settle with that. So, step forward for Deputy Monitor. However, since you all want to vote, let me say it, you cannot vote for yourself, and only when you are smart enough should you come forward to apply, I reserve the right to cancel your nomination if you did not meet the criteria.”

The class nodded and three people were selected to come forward. One girl and two boys, the girl was strong character in the class and was only behind Theseus by a couple of marks. She was called Vanessa.

The voting started and Vanessa won by two votes. The class applauded her, and then Chou and Quo Lina were selected to be the disciplinary officers. They both were two-star level cultivators and while Chou was a bulldozer, Quo Lina was a delicate killing machine. When she was sparing in the gym yesterday with her classmates, she left them with a few bruises and scratches.

Shi Lang looked at the four people standing in front of them and was overwhelmed with his paternal instincts and almost reached out his hand to pat them on their heads. He controlled himself and said, “Now that things are settled, get back to your seats. It is time to start the lesson.”

Then the class began as per usual, but today, everyone was taking notes seriously, and none of them came forward to present any doubts. Shi Lang asked, “Has learning become easy for you all?”

After all, they were all asking him questions the other day. A girl raised her hand and said, “Teacher, you can go on, we will ask you questions at the end of the week. This will be considered our test. The one with the least doubts will be the top rank.”

Shi Lang did not get the gist of it, but as long as these guys were happy. He nodded and began to explain further. The bell rang but the students did not leave. He came to the staff room and found the teachers looking at him weirdly. He asked, “What happened?”

An experienced old teacher said, “Your class, they are really different from before.”

Shi Lang became confused, when the same person continued, “It has been two days and we did not find any prank mines lying around. What method did you use, Teacher Shi?”

Teacher Shi was almost thinking of himself as the all mighty god who created the universe at this moment.
