Daily life of a teacher in the martial arts department

"With a well-thought-out plan in mind, I will quickly devise a brilliant strategy. I possess a brilliant plan that will surely meet my elder brother's needs. I am full of talent, yet Qin Yiren did not heed my advice. Elder brother, with my excellent plan, taking Qin will be as easy as turning your hand. A narrow-minded view can only glimpse the bottom..."

Hardcore manual sound card

While it's romantic for card players to shout out the general's lines, this general's skill activation rate is very high, and no one can resist Ji Fa reciting them over and over again.

Ying Qin Guan finally couldn't resist and decided to gamble with his life, betting that she was a rebel or a traitor. So, he directly activated his limited skill and killed this fragile character with only three health points outside of his turn.

【A desperate gamble】: Limited skill. Reveal all of everyone's hand cards, discard all of them (including any "Kill" cards), and discard x cards of your own hand. This is considered as using x "Kill" cards on a target you designate. The number of x cannot exceed the number of "Kill" cards discarded.

Ji Fa stared in astonishment at Ying Qin Guan, her lips trembling, but she ultimately couldn't utter a word. Her face darkened instantly, and she flipped open her loyal subject identity card, letting out a long sigh: "Elder brother, without me, you wouldn't have obtained the Qin Kingdom..."

Damn, I acted impulsively.

Ying Qin Guan reluctantly discarded all his cards, but still stubbornly insisted on saying, "Actually, I've known for a long time that you're a loyal subject, but you talk too much. This is just a little reminder, so there won't be a next time."

—Then, having lost his lord-limited skill and all his deterrent power, Ying Qinguan was killed by Ye Qu and Luo Shui, one with each sword.

Chapter Thirty-Two: Ji Li

The following day, Ying Qin Guan went to Wu Chang Ying's office and received detailed information about the commission from him.

"It would indeed be risky to entrust this task to a student... but if you accompany them, it can be said that there will be no problem."

“That’s not necessarily true…” Ying Qin Guan took the documents.

"We're a bit short-staffed, so there's no teacher accompanying you. There are four students in total... It seems these students have found someone to help them, but we don't know if that's reliable. But since you're here, there shouldn't be any problems. We hope you can look after them."

"It's my duty." Ying Qin Guan nodded and asked, "When do we depart?"

"Meet here at 10 a.m. tomorrow, then go to the dock to find that merchant. Steamships are easy to spot."

"Okay, I see."

Ying Qin Guan put away the documents and went back to his dormitory.

Of the four students, three were from Class A of the second year: Zhong Hongyu, Luo Shui, and Fu Feihan. The name of the remaining one gave Ying Qin Guan a bad feeling.

Wakaba Warner.

The Warner family... Ying Qin Guan's current feelings towards this family are quite complicated.

I hope she's not a pager... Yesterday I was playing cards with Ji Fa, and Ying Qin Guan was on the verge of going crazy. That guy is really a walking, talking voice card. Once she drew Ying Qin Guan—the indomitable conqueror.

This general has no lines; there's no record of him in historical texts, and the Time and Space Kill board game company hasn't released any of his voice lines. We thought he'd be quiet for a while, but...

"I am invincible under heaven. When I grasped the sword, I knew I would become the best in the world. But I am a homeless ghost, no need to care. I am invincible with sword in my left hand and knife in my right. As long as my heart remains, my country will not perish. I am Ji Li, infinitely arrogant!"

Without a doubt... she read the travelogue of the nameless swordsman of Southern Qin and then directly used the lines from it.

I bought that book, "Winning the Qin Pass," a few days ago, but I haven't started reading it yet.

Ying Qin Guan plans to take a look later... but for now, he should first understand the details of the commission.

He picked up the detailed information booklet of the commission.

This is also the biggest difference between modern and ancient times. In ancient times, mercenary guilds usually only had one requirement for their commissions: obtain this item and kill that item. That was it. But things are different in modern times. The state prohibits civilians from privately crafting alchemical equipment, let alone hiring someone to commit murder. Therefore, every commission requires detailed documentation explaining the cause and effect of the matter. It must be verified by the Empire's specialists before the commission is issued.

That's why it's said that Yorozuya is a gray industry that operates on the fringes of the law; it definitely wouldn't have been able to open without the Nephalem's intervention.

Ying Qin glanced at the pass and roughly understood the situation.

Merchant Tang Chashi wanted to transport goods to the kingdom of Banalo across the sea. However, among the goods to be transported was a special crystal called "Anti-Isolation Crystal." This expensive crystal could barely be considered a strategic resource, and it was the nemesis of alchemical equipment. The radiation it emitted would cause the miniature arrays of the alchemical equipment to become chaotic and unable to function.

Normally, the fastest and best way to transport things is by plane. However, planes are also affected by gravitational shocks, so... the only option is by boat.

Moreover, they cannot travel on advanced alchemy ships; they must travel on outdated steamships—because anti-isolation also affects alchemy ships.

When it comes to taking a boat, one issue must be considered.

Humanity has conquered the land and the sky—that's for sure. Alien races are practically nonexistent. Aside from the Kui, 99% of people can't even name a second alien race, let alone magical beasts; there are virtually none that pose a threat to humanity.

The day alchemical equipment appeared, it was destined that humanity would become the dominant species in this world.

But... the above are all about land and sky.

The ocean has never been conquered by humankind.

In the Age of Gods, every place is full of adventure and opportunity.

In ancient times, dungeons and great forests were the favorites of adventurers.

In modern times, the ocean is the only remaining place of adventure and the unknown in the world, the last romance for adventurers.

Of course, the adventurer's romance is the merchant's nightmare. No one knows what kind of monsters lurk in the sea, and what's worse, they're using outdated steamships; a couple of bumps and they're done for.

Therefore, bodyguards are indispensable.

To be honest, it's really risky for students to take on this task, and the chances of it working are slim. Ying Qin Guan doesn't know where these guys got their courage from. He heard they even hired people, which probably wasn't cheap. Add to that his and another teacher's compensation, and it's probably just buying a reputation...

However, the Imperial House doesn't oppose this behavior; financial power is also a form of ability. Although it's very unfair, family background does indeed influence a person's life.

Ying Qin Guan glanced at the book, wondering whether the "Consciousness Slash" would be effective against fish in the sea and whether the fish would see a mosaic and kill it with the mosaic. He then picked up the "Travels of the Nameless Swordsman of Southern Qin," a book he had bought but never read.

Let me see how this damn author writes about me!

If it were me, I'd have to give myself at least a 3,000-word description of my appearance right from the start, making me incredibly handsome so that I can relate to the story.

Ying Qinguan opened the book.

-

Ji Li opened her eyes.

As the sun set, the air was thick with the stench of blood, and some kind of bird he didn't recognize, but which he guessed was a scavenger, circled overhead.

【"I'm alive?"】

He lay on the ground for a very long time before he gathered enough strength to get up. He looked up and saw... a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

He himself couldn't believe he had survived.

[The world's most terrifying and powerful army, the invincible force of the Black Dragon Empire used to sweep across the world...did they win?]

Ji Li looked at his body, finding it hard to believe it was the body of a living person, yet he was indeed still alive...

He didn't know if he would survive... but even if he did die, he didn't want to die here.

Born in Southern Qin, died in Southern Qin.

So Ji Li started walking... towards the direction of Southern Qin that she remembered.

He was in a daze, his mind blank; he didn't want to think about anything, and he couldn't think of anything.

[After an unknown amount of time, the sun set and night fell.]

Dragging his battered and broken body, Ji Li finally collapsed, unable to hold on any longer...

Chapter Thirty-Three: This is our class's habit

The next day, at 9:45, Ying Qin Guan, with messy hair and dark circles under his eyes, stood in the Academic Affairs Office of the Martial Arts Department.

He knew that staying up late was bad for his health, so he chose to stay up all night.

The teachers from the Martial Arts Department were mostly gathered here. Having accepted another commission, the gray-haired man, who was also waiting here, noticed Ying Qin Guan's complexion and couldn't help but squint and say, "Aren't you... being a little unrestrained?"

Ying Qin Guan immediately perked up. Given his personality, it was impossible for him to say that he had spent the whole night reading a novel with himself as the protagonist, all by himself – and that he hadn’t even finished the first book yet, but he felt it wasn’t enough and went to the bookstore to buy a few more while it was still early.

The other person clearly misunderstood, thinking that he had a vibrant nightlife.

He put one hand on his hip and said with a profound and confident air, "There are times when a man can't say no."

The gray-haired man recalled seeing Ying Qin Guan go to the bookstore to buy the "Travels of the Nameless Swordsman of Southern Qin" yesterday evening, and then, considering Ying Qin Guan's current response... he felt that Ying Qin Guan must have misunderstood something, and was inexplicably going along with the act.

If it were anyone else, the gray-haired man would have certainly laughed. But considering the other party's strength in taking down that pager in one move, taking him down wouldn't be difficult either.

To prevent the other party from suddenly attacking and taking him away after their death, the gray-haired man decided to keep the matter buried in his heart.

Just then, a sound suddenly rang in my ears.

"Teacher, you're here so early! I'm sorry to have kept you waiting!"

The voice was quite energetic. The gray-haired man looked up and saw a girl with her hair in a bun, who was the student he had worked countless jobs for.

As she jogged along, she laughed, "Speaking of which, that thing I recommended to the teacher yesterday—"

Time seemed to stand still at that moment.

The gray-haired man's mind raced.

He also went in and bought a book yesterday—recommended by the girl with the bun hairstyle—and now she's going to tell this story—Ying Qin Guan also bought a book yesterday—what if he gets curious about this and asks questions—and discovers that he and I bought books at almost the same time—and discovers that he's dead—and takes me with him.

He only suffered social death, but I lost my life!

With that thought in mind, the gray-haired man no longer hesitated. He suddenly sprang up and punched the girl with the bun hairstyle flying!

Before the girl with the bun could finish speaking, she was knocked away by the gray-haired man and fell to the ground with her eyes swollen like mosquito coils.

Ying Qin Guan: "?"

The girl with the bun hairstyle was sent flying by a punch from the gray-haired man. He turned around without batting an eye and calmly said to Ying Qin Guan, "This is a special habit of our class, to ensure that the students are always in a state of high alert. So when we meet, I will suddenly attack them. She is obviously not in a good state now, so I will teach her a lesson when we get back."

"There are such things..." Ying Qin Guan nodded hesitantly. He added, "She just said something about recommending something; I remember she was at a bookstore..."

"It's a new dish!" The gray-haired man's mind raced. He interrupted Ying Qin Guan with an undeniable air, saying, "It's a new dish! She developed a new dish and suggested I try it! She's a chef at Qin Shan Ju!"

"Is...is that so?" Despite his doubts, Ying Qin Guan couldn't find any flaws in the story, so he hesitated before agreeing.

Just then, another person approached from a distance and said, "Teacher, I heard from Ahe that you also bought Nan Qin Wu yesterday—"

The gray-haired man moved like lightning, his power like that of a demon, and once again sent the newcomer flying with a punch.

Ying Qin Guan narrowed his eyes, sensing that something was amiss.

The gray-haired man's expression remained unchanged. Cold sweat poured down his back, but his face remained calm. He said, "The 'Travels of the Nameless Swordsman of Southern Qin,' that's the name of the dish. I heard it's modeled after the novel of the same name on the market. She asked me for money. What a traitor!"

"Really? I don't believe it." Ying Qin Guan walked suspiciously toward the two people with mosquito coil-shaped eyes, intending to shake them awake... Standing at the finish line of the martial arts world, his martial arts skills were unparalleled, and he could naturally tell that the two people had only temporarily fainted and would not be seriously injured.

"It's true! It's really true! How come there's no trust left between people?!"

Just as Ying Qin Guan was about to take action to expose the gray-haired man's lies, resulting in one person's death and another's real death, at this critical moment of life and death, a hesitant voice rang out.

"Teacher... what are you doing?"

Ying Qin Guan turned around and saw Zhong Hongyu and Luo Shui.
