Douluo Continent: Heavenly Mystery System

Chapter 31 Flanders's Stinginess and Penny-pinching

"Xiao San, I don't want to wear this outfit, the design is so ugly!" Everyone was rushing to get dressed as soon as they woke up, without even having time to look at their clothes. When they got to the playground, Xiao Wu saw everyone's clothes and couldn't help but complain.

"This? Boss Dai, you've been acting a bit too much these days." Although Tang San didn't finish his sentence, he actually agreed with Xiao Wu's words.

"In Dean Flander's words, this is also a kind of cultivation." Dai Mubai's mind conjured up Flander's sleazy and stingy appearance, but how can one not bow one's head when under someone's roof?

"By the way, why do you all have panda eyes?" Oscar asked the new students curiously.

"Shameless!" Zhu Zhuqing turned her head away.

"So young and already... shameless!" Ning Rongrong glared angrily at Oscar, who only realized what was happening when he saw the three girls blush.

"Who are you calling shameless? The happiness my brother gives you is not something someone like you can enjoy." At this moment, Ma Hongjun walked in from outside the door and happened to hear Ning Rongrong's words.

"We're all in the same school, so we'll be family from now on. You newcomers will get used to it eventually," Oscar quickly tried to mediate.

"Hello, I am Flander, the dean of Shrek Academy. This year is quite good, with four new little monsters joining us all at once." Flander looked at the seven students below the stage, and was particularly pleased with the four newcomers.

"Let me make this clear beforehand: now that you've entered Shrek Academy, you must abide by its rules and regulations. No matter how powerful your backgrounds are, anyone who disobeys the rules will be expelled. Do you have any more questions?" Flander gave the four new students a rude awakening.

"Dean, what are the rules and regulations?" Tang San asked Dean Frank timidly.

"Your name is Tang San, right? That's a good question. The rules and regulations here mean that I'm in charge of everything. My word is law. Do you understand?" Flander gave Tang San and the other three new students a lewd look.

"Uh..." Tang San was stunned, as if struck by lightning. Dean Flander, how come he speaks such jargon? Anyone who doesn't know him would definitely mistake him for a bandit king.

"I know you have a lot of opinions about the clothes I design, but I'm telling you, this is also a kind of cultivation of your character. If you dislike it because it's ugly, it only shows that your character is not strong enough."

Flander was quite satisfied with the clothes he designed. He had also designed clothes for the teachers before. Since the teachers' uniforms were introduced, the other teachers had suffered greatly. In the end, Zhao Wuji begged Flander to stop wearing them. However, the teachers' uniforms still cost 1 gold soul coins per person per semester, and Zhao Wuji paid the same fee without exception.

"You make such ugly clothes sound so noble and eloquent," Xiao Wu said angrily, without any tact.

"What did you say?" Flander's eyes seemed to want to kill Xiao Wu instantly.

"Dean, Xiao Wu's temperament is not strong enough, so she needs the clothes you designed to cultivate her temperament, don't you think?" Tang San quickly covered up Flander's words.

"Tang San, it's good that you listened to me. Everyone else should learn from Tang San. And you must not do it again." Flander was pleased by Tang San's flattery, so he let Xiao Wu go.

"Your task this morning is to run ten laps around the perimeter of the academy. If you don't finish by noon, there will be no lunch. Mu Bai, you will lead the team," Flander said before heading back.

Mu Bai led the other six to run laps around the perimeter of the academy. At first, everyone cooperated actively, but later Ning Rongrong couldn't keep up, and the others also slowed down.

At noon, everyone had finished running ten laps, but Ning Rongrong was late. It was past lunchtime before she finally finished the last lap.

After arriving at the canteen, they found no food. The seven of them were exhausted and hungry, and angrily went to find Flander.

"You're a group, one person can't finish the task, so you'll all be punished together. So you'll have to figure out your own lunch," Flander scolded them from his recliner in his office.

"Flander, you didn't arrange lunch, don't use my situation as an excuse!" Ning Rongrong finally couldn't hold back and snapped. When had the young lady of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School ever suffered such humiliation?

"Then why are you dragging everyone down? Stop throwing your temper. You're the worst here. If it weren't for your father's sake, I wouldn't bother taking you as a student." Flander didn't hold back at all, adding fuel to Ning Rongrong's anger.

"What makes you say that?" Ning Rongrong asked, disbelieving.

"Oscar is also a support type like you, but he was born with full soul power at level 10, what do you think?" Flander's answer was incisive.

"I'm too lazy to argue with you, let's go eat." Ning Rongrong couldn't win the argument, and she was too hungry to argue right now, so she decided to fill her stomach first.

Soon the seven of them arrived at a nearby town, found an inn and had a hearty meal. Ning Rongrong paid the bill, since she had been a hindrance.

The seven then returned to Shrek Academy, but Flander blocked their way at the gate.

"Because your performance at noon was so disappointing, I have decided that you will have to take care of your own breakfast, lunch and dinner. Of course, you can also ask Teacher Shao Xin for help," Flander said seriously to everyone.

"I'll have two hours of theory lessons with the master this afternoon, two hours of practical lessons with Teacher Zhao Wuji, and free time to study with the other teachers on the weekend," Flander said, turning to leave.

"Dean, since we're taking care of our own meals, shouldn't we get our meals back?" Oscar asked, seemingly courting disaster, but the other six agreed.

"Oscar, are you asking for trouble? Don't you think the food in the cafeteria is free? Don't you think vegetables, eggs, and meat products are free?" Flander bombarded Oscar with three questions, leaving him speechless.

"Dean, it was my oversight. After hearing what you said, I suddenly understand." Oscar was afraid that Flander would make things difficult for him, so he quickly flattered Dean Flander.

"Do the other six of you still think you should get your food expenses refunded?" Flander took the opportunity to give the other six a warning, telling the rest to keep arguing with him.

"Teacher, your decision is the wisest!" Ma Hongjun echoed Flander's words at this moment. Flander was overjoyed. This kid was indeed his good disciple.

Ma Hongjun agreed, and the others could only nod, then shake their heads and no longer mention the matter of refunding the meal expenses.

In the following days, the four newcomers learned from Dai Mubai and Oscar that Dean Flander was stingy and miserly. Later, even if they were unwilling in their hearts, they still agreed or echoed what Dean Flander said.
