Chapter 192 You Made Me Lose Face in the Field of Education

The All Science Hall is located on the east side of Longgu Village and is a three-story building converted from the old World Department Store.

The exterior wall still retains the dilapidated sign of "Happiness Shopping Center," but Principal Qiu Shi has painted over the four crooked characters "Quan Ke Xue Tang" (All-Knowledge Hall) with paint.

The All-Knowledge Hall in Longgu Village is theoretically a school only for children aged 6 to 15 in the village.

However, the composition of Longgu Village is not static. Outsiders are often absorbed into Longgu Village, and they also need education.

As the only school in Longgu Village, Quanke Academy naturally has the responsibility to educate them.

This means that the whole science classroom is often not just for children; adults in their twenties and thirties, middle-aged people in their forties and fifties, and elderly people in their seventies and eighties sometimes have to sit in the same classroom with the children to listen to the lessons.

Recently, another group of ground survivors invaded Dragonbone Village, attempting to seize this paradise, but were easily suppressed by the Awakened Ones.

The gang originally consisted of more than 30 people, but 20 were killed during the invasion, and the remaining 13 had to surrender and were forced to join Dragonbone Village with restraints.

After several days of persuasion, they gradually accepted their fate and were assigned to the General Science Classroom to learn basic knowledge.

One of the girls, a 15-year-old named "Jiuge," was assigned to "Maido's" tutelage to educate Jiuge and help her catch up with the class's learning progress.

Longgu Village has a small population and a severe shortage of teachers. Apart from Principal Qiu Shi, the entire school only had three teachers, including Luo Ya. Now that Luo Ya is dead, there are only two teachers left.

Faced with a large group of students whose learning progress was completely inconsistent, the two teachers were at a loss and could only pull out the outstanding students to help as well.

As the chief of the All-Science Academy, "Maido" was naturally chosen to take on some of the educational work.

She may not be able to teach others advanced knowledge, but she is more than capable of giving new members a basic introduction.

Maiduo's most important task during this period was to educate Jiuge, so that she could quickly fill in the gaps in her basic academic knowledge and join the two teachers' large class to listen to lectures.

This shouldn't have been a problem for Maiduo, who has exceptional comprehension and extensive teaching experience. As long as Jiuge was willing to learn, she was confident that she could make up for Jiuge's basic knowledge within a month.

But the problem is that she doesn't want to learn the drinking songs.

On this day, in the innermost classroom on the second floor, thirteen new "transfer students" who had just joined Longgu Village sat upright, facing what might be the most humiliating scene of their lives.

A kid who looked no more than 12 years old was pointing and gesturing on the podium with a pointer, explaining elementary school math to this group of desperate criminals who lived on the edge of death.

So, Xiaoming had five apples, and Xiaohong gave him three apples. How many apples does Xiaoming have now?

Xia Dou stood on the podium, holding a twig she had picked up at random as a pointer, and smugly tapped it on the blackboard.

The thirteen newcomers were all people who hadn't even completed basic elementary education. In addition to assigning each of them a tutor to teach them to read and write and to cultivate their teaching abilities, the school also arranged this kind of large-scale elementary classroom for unified education.

The 13 junior teachers need to take turns giving open classes on stage, one day each, until the 13 new students, some young and some old, have made up for their lack of basic knowledge and can join the large class taught by the two real teachers.

Xia Dou is a tenacious and persistent warrior who never gives up. Even when there is absolutely no hope of defeating "Mai Duo", she continues to challenge "Mai Duo".

Yesterday, she was once again brutally defeated by "Maido" in the game, crying and screaming, filled with despair at being useless, and her mood was not very pleasant.

Having found a sense of belonging among the adults today, she became quite smug, practically wagging her tail in the air.

Sitting in the last row of the audience was a bald, burly man with a face full of scars, and a scar running diagonally from his left eye to his right chin. He didn't look like someone to be trifled with.

At this moment, he was staring at Xia Dou with murderous eyes, his hands clenched into fists, veins bulging.

If he hadn't been wearing restraints, he probably would have rushed up, snapped Xia Dou's branch whip in half, and shoved it into her mouth.

"Report!" The bald, burly man gritted his teeth and raised his hand.

"Please speak, student." Xia Dou nodded solemnly, mimicking Principal Qiu Shi's tone.

"Xiao Ming is stuffed to death! Xiao Hong is stuffed to death too! This problem is completely unfounded! No normal person could eat so many apples!"

Xia Dou paused for a moment, then wrote the character "dead" on the blackboard with a serious expression: "Okay, so Xiao Ming is dead, and Xiao Hong is dead too. How many rotten apples are on the ground now?"

The whole class was silent for a moment. The bald, burly man was so angry that his face turned green, but he had nothing to say.

"Maiduo" sat in the last row of the classroom by the window, lying on the table with a pile of draft paper in front of her, covered with circuit diagrams and structural sketches of the magnetic levitation skateboard.

She was oblivious to everything happening in the classroom, completely absorbed in the world of tackling technical challenges.

A little creature perched on her shoulder, a bird she named "Ulanchagai," tilting its head to watch her draw, occasionally pecking at a strand of her hair and playing with it.

Jiu Ge sat next to her, his face cold, his gaze fixed on the window.

She was fifteen years old, half a head taller than "Maiduo," and wore a gray cloth outfit uniformly distributed by Longgu Village. She also wore a power-discharging limiter around her neck as a safety measure.

Her features, like those of other survivors, bore the roughness and resilience of the apocalypse—slightly high cheekbones, dark skin, deep-set eyes, and chapped lips, clearly showing that she had grown up amidst wind, sand, and blood.

It's not that she wasn't naturally beautiful; it's just that her circumstances forced her to become like this. Once she settles down in Dragonbone Village for a few years and recovers her health, she will still be a beautiful woman.

Three days have passed since Jiu Ge came to the All Science Hall.

For three days, she didn't hear a single word.

It wasn't because she couldn't understand; she just didn't want to learn, didn't want to accept the village's arrangements, and didn't want to acknowledge that these children, living in a greenhouse, were qualified to be her teachers.

Among the twenty people killed during the invasion was her best friend.

Although she is now captured and forced to submit, the hatred in her heart has not disappeared. She resists the various arrangements the village makes for her, even though she knows that it will bring her danger.

She completely looked down on "Maido," the literacy teacher assigned to her by Longgu Village.

Does a weak person who has lived a stable life under the protection of adults since childhood, with no worries about food and clothing and only studying, and who has never even seen blood, have the right to teach this strong person who started to venture into the apocalypse, struggle to survive, and has been tempered by hardship at the age of six?

She asked herself, if she had the same conditions as "Maido", her knowledge would far surpass that of "Maido"!

Besides, "Maido" is only eleven years old, while she is fifteen. She simply cannot accept such a childish brat as her teacher.

She didn't even respect "Maido," so naturally she wouldn't learn from "Maido."

Maido certainly noticed Jiuge's indifference and resistance, but she didn't care.

She's too busy with her own things to care about the mental health of a troubled teenage girl. Take it or leave it!

She just wanted the singing to be quiet and not bother her.

Fortunately, Jiu Ge wasn't a noisy person; he always had a cold face and didn't talk much.

Aside from being required to stay by "Mai Duo's" side the whole time during the All-Science Classroom, I didn't have much of a presence and wouldn't deliberately disturb "Mai Duo" when she was in research mode, which was acceptable.

This way of getting along lasted for a whole month.

For a month, "Maiduo" went to school every morning, carrying Jiuge with her as a human-shaped pendant, and did her own drawing and research.

In the afternoon, she would take time to give Jiu Ge a private lesson, regardless of whether Jiu Ge listened or not. She would just talk on her own until she had enough time and then go home.

Occasionally, she would seek advice from the two teachers, ask for some materials, or go to Principal Qiu Shi's place to borrow a couple of old-world science and technology books to read.

Jiu Ge quietly followed beside her, and the two of them kept to themselves and lived in peace.

Xia Dou was extremely envious of this "harmonious" relationship.

While playing games, Xia Dou complained to "Mai Duo" that her student was a blockhead and had to be taught everything forty or fifty times before he could learn it, which made her so angry that she cursed him every day. She asked "Mai Duo" if she had any solutions.

In response, "Maiduo" simply smiled and said that she would leave it to fate.

Teachers will have a very relaxed job as long as they don't force students to learn well.

And so, the one-month deadline arrived, and "Maiduo" was shocked to hear the bad news: it turned out that the All-Science Academy would be assessing the learning outcomes of the 13 new students every month.

Assessing students' learning outcomes is actually assessing teachers' teaching abilities, which caught "Mai Duo" completely off guard and made her feel uneasy.

On the day of the monthly exam, thirteen desks were set up in the hall of the All-Knowing Classroom, where thirteen transfer students of different ages sat neatly with their exam papers in front of them.

Principal Qiu and two other teachers patrolled back and forth, their eyes sharp and keen. Various futuristic monitoring devices were scattered throughout the classrooms, strictly supervising the exams and rendering "Mai Duo," who was trying to secretly help Jiu Ge cheat and get first place, powerless.

The exam covers basic literature, mathematics, and science knowledge, and is roughly equivalent to the level of a second-grade student in the old world.

For most of the people who had struggled in the apocalypse and had gone through a month of learning, the knowledge was not too difficult. Half of the thirteen people passed, and three of them scored above 90.

Only the drinking song was left blank.

The paper was completely blank; not a single word was written, not even a name.

This is no longer a matter of ability, but a matter of attitude.

Of course, even if her attitude is fine, she'll probably only get 20 points at most by luck.

Principal Qiu Shi held the blank exam paper, his face extremely grim, but he couldn't lash out.

She handed the test paper to "Maiduo," who was responsible for grading it. "Maiduo" looked at it and her face turned ashen.

I knew you wouldn't do well on the test, but I didn't expect you to hand in a blank paper. You've completely embarrassed me!

Chapter 193 I Will Not Let the Boss Down

"Jiuge, why didn't you write a single word?! I clearly explained these questions in class!"

Jiu Ge leaned back in his chair, arms crossed, staring blankly at the ceiling. After a long while, he finally said, "I can't write."

The surrounding teachers chuckled, some gleefully, others looking at "Maido" with a hint of sympathy.

Everyone knows that Jiu Ge is a key student assigned to "Mai Duo" for special assistance, yet she hasn't even been taught basic writing skills... tsk tsk!

"Maiduo" took a deep breath and barely managed to suppress the urge to punch Jiuge to death.

It's been a whole month, and you haven't said a single word about not being able to write. We're all illiterate, so why are you so completely illiterate?!

"Hahahahahaha!"

Xia Dou was the first to burst out laughing, clutching her stomach and squatting on the ground: "Mai Duo, you've finally met your match! I thought you were so great, but after a month of teaching, you only produced a zero!"

Several classmates who were also acting as junior teachers joined in the laughter and joking.

"You shameful squad leader!"

Maido's face turned pale and then red, and her fingers trembled slightly.

She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down, but the nameless anger in her chest rose up rapidly.

She didn't care whether she did well on the wine song exam, but she cared about her pride.

She is a great demon and sage with 8400 years of inner power, who has killed countless people and nurtured countless others!

For four whole worlds, martial arts flourished under her guidance and education, and the number of martial arts legends she personally trained is too many to count on one hand!

Now, I'm being mocked by a bunch of little kids for not being able to teach a person properly. I've completely lost face!

Not long after, Bai Yuekui arrived after receiving the news.

Wearing her signature fur coat, she walked lightly through the doors of the All Science Hall.
