Chapter 232: Zhou Yi, a Meritorious Official

Just as Zhou Yi was heading to the tenth floor of the Pill Department.

In the central area of Suhang University, on the top floor of the towering Administration Building, lies the conference hall.

A meeting that has almost summoned all Gao Jie instructors from the entire school is about to be held here.

"Old Yang, you're here too?"

"Yes, I was already taking my students and preparing to depart for the neighboring province, but I was called back right before we left."

"Although the principal usually holds a meeting upon returning in previous years, it never caused such a commotion."

"I don't know; perhaps something major is to be announced this time."

"......"

The conference hall on the top floor of the Administration Building has over two hundred seats.

At this moment, more than half of the seats are already filled.

This means that the majority of the school's teachers have gathered here......

At this moment, Su Mei has also arrived at the instructor seating section belonging to the War Academy.

And Wu Mang, the Dean of the War Academy, is sitting in the very front row of the seats.

Right next to the deans of the other academies.

"Teacher Su has arrived?"

Su Mei, with her beautiful looks and full figure.

Even in the Tactical Academy, which has the largest number of female teachers, she is among the most beautiful.

Let alone in the War Academy, which is predominantly male, where she is extremely popular.

As soon as she entered, instructors immediately greeted her.

Nodding slightly in acknowledgment, Su Mei casually found a seat and sat down.

As a young teacher who had only recently started working at Suhang University, she was still preparing for the freshman courses scheduled to begin the day after tomorrow.

She never expected to be notified by the dean to come here for a meeting......

"This is the highest council of instructors at Suhang University."

Su Mei looked around at the surroundings.

Eight years ago, she was also a student at Suhang University.

At that time, the academy she attended was the Elemental Academy, and her exclusive mentor was Zhou Huayang, who is now the Dean of the Elemental Academy.

After graduation, she chose to take a position in a medium-sized Weigong Society in the Zhongxia Kingdom.

When she graduated, she was already a level 31 practitioner of the Second-turn method.

Naturally, she was given important responsibilities after joining this Weigong Society.

First, she became the vice-captain of a six-person squad, and then very quickly rose to become the captain.

Time and again, she accompanied the Weigong Society on campaigns, leading her squad to kill demonic beasts and monsters, and her level rapidly increased.

She originally thought she would stay in this Weigong Society for the rest of her life.

However, as time passed, she slowly discovered that she seemed to be growing more and more tired of such a life.

She hated war, and she hated the demonic beasts and monsters that seemed endless to kill.

She hated even more the sight of teammates fighting alongside her falling and dying on the battlefield......

Thus, just as the Weigong Society was about to appoint her as its vice-president, she chose to quit the Weigong Society.

Instead, she returned to her hometown...... Suhang Province.

Just as she was considering what to do next, she received a job offer from her alma mater, Suhang University.

"Educating the youth and cultivating more powerful professionals for the nation."

This sentence on the job offer letter stirred her heart.

She then returned to her alma mater with a mindset of just giving it a try.

After competing on the same stage with more than forty other equally talented Second-turn practitioners.

She successfully managed to stay.

When she passed the final appointment trial and the Vice-Principal asked which academy she wanted to go to.

Weary of warfare, she ultimately, as if guided by fate, chose the War Academy......

Perhaps this is destiny.

After spending more than half a year studying as an intern instructor of the War Academy.

Finally, with the arrival of this year's freshmen, she officially gained teaching authority.

And this is also the first time she has come to this grand conference hall on the top floor of the Administration Building.

"Teacher Su, do you know what this meeting is about?"

A voice suddenly sounded, interrupting her thoughts.

Turning her head, she saw a female teacher of about the same age sitting next to her.

"Teacher Huang, do you know?"

Su Mei asked with a smile.

Huang Xiaoqin, a level 45 Second-turn Warrior.

Like her, she is also an instructor at the War Academy.

However, Huang Xiaoqin came to Suhang University to take up her post a year earlier than her.

Because they are about the same age, the two have a good relationship at the War Academy.

"Hehe, there are some rumors."

Huang Xiaoqin smiled mysteriously:

"Recently many legions and societies have been recalled from the front lines. You know about this, right?"

"I know."

Su Mei nodded slightly.

The society she used to belong to had also had quite a few of its combat forces recalled.

But the specific reason was still unclear.

"The principal calling this meeting is also related to this matter!"

Huang Xiaoqin lowered her voice a little:

"I heard from a friend of mine still in the legions that traces of otherworldly creatures seem to have been discovered all over Zhongxia!"

"These legions and societies were recalled because of that!"

"Otherworldly creatures! Are they going to invade Blue Star again?"

Su Mei's heart jolted.

Eighty years ago, the Dark Age—when otherworldly creatures invaded on a massive scale and caused Blue Star's population to plummet.

Although she hadn't experienced it herself.

But judging from the various written records and video materials left behind from that time, it was undoubtedly an extremely brutal war!!

And the beginning of that Dark Age was marked by the large-scale appearance of otherworldly creatures on Blue Star......

"It probably isn't."

Huang Xiaoqin shook her head. "If it really were that, they wouldn't just be recalling these few legions and societies."

Within Zhongxia, there were many top-tier legions and societies.

Right now, none of those most elite legions and societies had been moved.

Moreover, the legions and societies of other countries on Blue Star hadn't made any moves either.

Naturally, it couldn't be a large-scale invasion of otherworldly creatures like the Dark Age.

"Fair point."

Su Mei breathed a sigh of relief at those words.

She wasn't afraid of war; she was only worried that her countrymen would suffer again because of it.

The teachers below chatted among themselves, and soon a group of four walked in through the main door of the conference hall.

Leading them was none other than Suhang University's only principal, Wang Hui.

And the three behind him were three vice principals, including the Third-Turn Priest Chen Fan.

"The principals are all here—looks like there's really something big to announce this time!"

Seeing the four walk in, the entire conference hall instantly fell solemn.

"Everyone, this isn't an official meeting—just relax."

Wang Hui stepped up to the front, a smile on his face, and spoke casually.

Though that's what he said.

Not a single teacher below actually relaxed.

As if they could.

One principal, three vice principals.

The highest-leveled Principal Wang Hui was Level 64, and even the lowest-leveled Chen Fan, in charge of administration, was Level 56.

And they were their direct superiors—how could they dare not be nervous?

"I called everyone here mainly because there are a few matters to announce."

"I believe you've all heard some rumors lately, about otherworldly creatures appearing on a large scale within Zhongxia."

"I can tell you clearly—this is indeed true."

The moment Principal Wang Hui opened his mouth, he dropped a bombshell, and the instructors below were instantly stunned.

What followed was an enormous uproar!

"Holy sh*t! The otherworld really is invading again!"

"Is the Dark Age about to come again?!"

"Afraid of what! We've been recuperating for decades—we've long had the capital to fight the otherworld again. Let's just do it!"

"......"

Instantly, the entire conference hall was thick with the smell of gunpowder.

Some hawkish activists were even lighting up, itching to launch a great battle right now!!

"Teachers, please don't get worked up yet."

Wang Hui pressed his hands down slightly, and the powerful pressure belonging to a Level 64 professional swept out.

Under this immense pressure, the entire conference room immediately fell silent.

"The principal's strength seems to have improved again..."

In the back, Vice Principal Chen Fan, who noticed this scene, couldn't help feeling a bit emotional.
