Chapter 83 Compensation Afterwards

A woman who looked noticeably older, with gray hair, leaped a few times from a distance and landed next to Yan Shi and the others.

The woman had her hair clipped back, gray hair and brown eyes, and was dressed very formally in Zhanzhou's teacher's uniform, which was dark and serious.

She first surveyed the devastation around her, then her gaze settled on the two enormous cracks in the ground, through which the sky below was now faintly visible.

"Fine, fine, fine." The woman laughed angrily, "Teachers fighting and smashing through the academy's floating island. I haven't seen anything like this in twenty years."

"Mr. Sharp, what's going on?"

Sharp, who had been wearing a black cloak and looked like a typical dark mage during the battle, was now as quiet as a chicken.

She had taken off her hood, revealing her face, and was staring intently at the distant ruins, pretending to be in a daze.

Is this Ji Pucun, the director of the Teachers' Committee in Zhanzhou?

Yan Shi looked over in surprise.

Ji Pucun: "That's Teacher Ao Wei."

Ao Wei: "Director, Chu Mengfu has come to Adelaide again to talk about the semester internship."

Ji Pucun frowned.

Chu Mengfu is currently the head of all students from the world of martial arts in the academy, and she is fully aware of the conflicts and schemes between her and Adelaide.

However, Ji Pucun was not in a position to intervene in matters involving private feuds between students or conflicts that could not be discussed openly.

“Students’ interactions have nothing to do with the academy’s floating islands,” she said, pointing to the crack. “Don’t try to change the subject.”

"They don't have the strength to fight like that."

"And what about Teacher Yanlan?" Ji Pucun looked at Yan Shi, who was standing to the side seemingly uninvolved, "Why don't you say something too?"

Chu Mengfu, lying on the ground, looked at Yan Lan in shock. It was actually his teacher?

She had never seen him at the academy before.

Next to her, Chu Mengfu's teacher, Sharp, secretly glared at her and mouthed, "We'll settle our score later."

Chu Mengfu shrank his neck and suddenly felt that the water prison was quite warm.

Yan Shi blinked: "I am the victim."

Ji Pucun: "There are only the three of you here."

The two students don't count.

What is meant by "victim"?

To be honest, Ji Pucun was really surprised by this accident.

She had just received a report from a student saying that when the fight broke out near the lab building, she didn't take it seriously at all.

Both Teacher Zhan Zhou and his students possess exceptional abilities, and the academy's buildings have extremely comprehensive protective measures in place to prevent fights from breaking out within the academy.

So when Ji Pucun heard the loud noise, realized something was wrong, and rushed over, it was already over.

The academy's floating island, a small world that could be considered significant in the inner world, had its barrier, created by countless powerful beings working together, cracked.

Ji Pucun: Very good.

Teachers set an example for students on how to provoke the head of the teachers' committee.

After suppressing his anger, Ji Pu realized something was wrong.

Sharp and Aowei had some personal grudges due to the conflict with the students, and they had fought countless times before, but this time, the floating island was cracked.

The only variable is Yanlan.

They were just placed in the main city because of connections, and I don't know what they were thinking, but they have a very strong background.

And he's very arrogant.

The new teacher didn't show up on the first day of her job, and Lu Jian handled all the paperwork for her.

Lu Jian, the director of the Information Department of the General Administration of Foreign Exchange, has no weaknesses in terms of his skills, background, or personal strength.

Having her personally handle the onboarding procedures and being so secretive about it, Ji Pucun couldn't help but be curious about Yanlan.

Now it seems that this new teaching assistant, who came through a special recruitment channel and whom I had never heard of before, is quite capable.

That's more than enough.

Yan Shi: "I'd like to ask you something too. As a new teacher, I've only been at Zhan Zhou for an hour, and your students have already started attacking me."

She said with a slightly innocent look, "What's wrong with me defending myself?"

"The students attacked you on their own initiative?" Ji Pucun asked in a deep voice.

Yan Shi: "There were quite a few people here just now, they all saw it."

As she spoke, she gave a tug, and Shui Ling, following her wishes, pulled the two rice dumplings on the ground closer together.

"They not only hurt innocent bystanders in their fight, but they also provoked me." Yan Shi shrugged, "They said I was unlucky."

"Then I must retaliate reasonably."

“I didn’t do anything to them, I just replicated my experience one-to-one.”

"Then these two arrived and attacked without saying a word. I didn't launch any attacks throughout the whole thing, I just defended."

“Director,” Yan Shi looked at her, “is this the characteristic of Zhan Zhou’s students and teachers?”

Chu Mengfu clearly wanted to say something, but Shui Ling silenced him with a kiss.

"Waaah."

Ji Pucun ignored Chu Mengfu.

Yanlan was a relative of Lu Jian who got her in through connections.

And provocation is something Chu Mengfu is capable of doing.

Ji Pucun lowered his head and met Chu Mengfu's gaze, who was struggling at this moment.

Regardless, what Yanlan said is part of the truth.

It was Chu Mengfu who provoked people first.

There were also eyewitnesses.

The blame cannot be placed on Yanlan.

Ji Pucun could go back and explain the matter directly to Lu Jian.

Ji Pucun: "I understand. The academy will give you an explanation."

Yan Shi: "Okay, I'll be going now."

It's common sense to leave the scene as soon as you cause trouble.

The area was completely deserted. Yan Shi took two steps forward, then stepped back, staring blankly at the map in a daze.

She turned to Ji Pucun: "By the way, Director, how do I get to the library?"

Ji Pucun: "The map of the college has not been updated. The library has been moved to the other side of the faculty apartments."

Yanlan went the wrong way.

Yan Shi: ...

She said she couldn't find it.

If she had made the right choice, this accident could have been avoided.

It's still a matter of Zhan Zhou!

Just after Yanlan left, Ji Pucun looked at the two people who were still standing.

Sharp: "Director, I think the floating islands are in disrepair."

She knew her own strength; she couldn't possibly shatter the floating island with a single collision with Ao Wei's spirit.

The only explanation is that the floating islands are too fragile.

Ji Pucun forced out two words through his teeth: "Shut up."

She crouched down to examine the crack.

The crack was deep, but fortunately the barrier at the bottom was intact.

That's understandable; if it were broken, the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics would have already come knocking on their door.

“Sharp,” Ji Pucun stopped and stood up, “you really should do something about Chu Mengfu.”

"Yanlan was squeezed in by Lu Jian through the quota for going to Jiucheng. There's no one in Jiucheng who can make Lu Jian go to such lengths."

"And the current director of the Bureau of Foreign Affairs is surnamed Yan."

Sharp was startled.

Ji Pucun looked at Chu Mengfu on the ground: "If you still want to work in the Bureau of Foreign Affairs in the future, don't block all your paths in advance."

"This must be a relative of Director Yan."

I have said all I need to say.

Ao Wei helped Adelaide remove the water rope: "Director, I will cover half of the repair costs for the crack in the floating island."

She comes from the Jiaolong Ao family, so she can afford to come up with this kind of money.

Ji Pucun nodded: "I'll send you the bill directly later."

Ao Wei glanced at Sharp again, said nothing more, picked up Adelaide, tore open a scroll, and disappeared from the spot.

Sharp looked miserable.

The floating islands are expensive to build, and the repair costs for such a large crack are also visibly high.

Ao Wei could produce it, but she couldn't.

Thinking about it, Sharp glared at Chu Mengfu again.

Ji Pucun rubbed his temples: "I'll help you cover part of it, you'll have to raise the rest yourself."

"As for attacking the teacher, Chu Mengfu will receive a demerit. He will also need to participate in the reconstruction work at the crack this weekend."

That's considered giving them a break.

Sharp also picked up Chu Mengfu, who was bound like a dumpling in the water prison: "Thank you, Director."

After they left, Ji Pucun sighed.

"Hopefully, the conflict between students from the Otherworld and those from the Mainworld won't escalate further..."

---

Zhanzhou's library is very large. Yan Shi stood at the information desk on the first floor with a serious expression, studying the structure of the library.

Since it's a fantasy world, there are naturally many ways to directly imprint the contents of books into the brain in the inner world.

From spiritual scrolls to shorthand potions, there are countless varieties.

The problem is that knowledge still needs to be learned by living beings themselves.

The contents of these books, brought by external objects, are merely imprinted in the brain; without actual learning, one still has to search through the pages in their mind when using them.

It's no different from turning the pages of a book.

And it is extremely easy to forget.

Knowledge concerning deities, laws, and souls is highly corrosive and unique, and cannot be copied.

This resulted in most books in the Otherworld being recorded using the most primitive paper methods.

The Jamcheol Library has a rich collection of books, making it difficult to pinpoint the historical events related to the Jamcheol relocation twenty years ago.

"The north section of the first floor is for Eastern magic, and the east section is for Western magic."

Yan Shi checked each section one by one: "Third floor, South section, History and Mythology... Fourth floor, North section, Ancient Books."

I think these are the two.

Let's look into the issues related to the world barrier together.

Yan Shi noted down the location and headed towards the third floor of the library.

Sharp: A Disappointing Student
