Chapter 3 Chapter 3
◎Rabbit Bodyguard◎
Yinglong's name in the human world is Long Ying. With his repeated assurances, Lian Jiu temporarily put his life back in his stomach, but he learned another thing.
"No other teachers?!"
She grabbed her backpack and stood up to leave. This really wasn't her problem. "According to your original class division, you can't even have all the basic teachers and childcare staff for a class. Even if I could do it alone, I can't teach all the children in one class."
Before he could walk out, Long Ying's claws entangled the backpack straps and pulled them, but failed to budge.
"Teacher Lian Jiu, don't worry." Long Ying said anxiously, "Although there are none, we have selected suitable monsters and will give you their information now."
It's okay to recruit teachers on site.
Lian Jiu saw him holding out a lot of papers and asked, "Don't you have a candidate?"
Long Ying shook his head: "These are all ordinary monsters, and they are also taller than the short ones. They are all in the learning stage."
It’s really still a process of groping!
Lian Jiu mustered up the courage to question the beast: "How dare you open a kindergarten with such inadequate preparation?"
"There's nothing I can do." Long Ying looked sad. "There are more and more little monsters. The later we wait, the harder it will be to deal with them. Besides, since this is our first time, we need to see results before we can get funding for a new school."
"Yes." Yu Chongming also said, "We built the school ourselves. We had a hard time getting electricity and internet. Other than the school, no other caves in the demon world have it."
Lian Jiu said tactfully, "I can see it, it's very simple."
It turns out they all live in caves, no wonder I didn’t see any other houses.
She asked puzzledly, "Why doesn't it work?"
"We've only just recently connected to the human world, so it's difficult for relevant departments to approve funding," Long Ying said. "If we were to rely on ourselves, most of us would be illiterate and still in training, unable to find lucrative jobs. Now we live in a technologically civilized society."
In short, it means being poor from beginning to end.
Thinking about his salary which was scraped together by several big monsters, Lian Jiu suspected that he was the richest person here.
Finally, with Yu Zhongming's help, Lian Jiu selected a few suitable teachers and caregivers from the information based on the monster species. "Let's have a meeting first. The children can take a few days off."
"Okay!" Long Ying trusted Lian Jiu very much and handed all the information to her. "I have to go back to work, so I'll leave this place to you. From now on, you have the final say on this mountain. No other monster can do anything about it!"
Lian Jiu held the information: ...
Wouldn't that be a bit too reassuring?
Not long after Long Jijie hurriedly left, the monsters who had been notified also arrived.
The simple school didn't even have a meeting room. Many monsters gathered in the principal's office. Being stared at by so many monsters with curious and inquiring eyes, Lian Jiu took several deep breaths.
She sat in the principal's seat and secretly pinched her legs, which were a little weak: "You guys sit down first."
The monsters originally thought that the director would be an ancient demon god like Yinglong or Hou, but they didn't expect him to be a soft-looking monster with no demonic aura and no discernible species. They all waited and watched.
Lian Jiu spoke first: "I've read all your information. Although I've received training, I haven't actually done any of this. So, if you all come to work on time these few days, we can simulate scenarios every day so that we can get to know each other better. Is that okay?"
The monsters originally thought that they would be told what to do when they arrived, but they didn't expect that there would be a process of getting to know each other. But that's okay, they really want to see what this new director is like.
Hearing no objections, Lian Jiu continued, "Then the first step is to sort out all the children's information and re-assign them to classes."
After sorting out the information, there are a total of eighty little monsters, divided into small and medium classes. The liberal arts class and martial arts class are replaced by ordinary class one and class two. There is no large class because they will first be placed in the small and medium classes to study, and then promoted when they are suitable. The large class is not planned to be divided into classes.
One of the youkai teachers asked, "Why do we need to merge together? How dangerous is it?"
Lian Jiu: "We can't treat children like ordinary animals now. If we keep classifying them as strong or weak monsters from a young age, this concept will be deeply rooted in them when they grow up and enter society. There will be class distinctions, and they will subconsciously fear and bully the weak."
She asked gently, "There shouldn't be inequality between children, right?"
The monsters were all stunned. They had never thought about the seriousness of this problem, but now they realized it was indeed very important.
The principal is really far-sighted.
After the class division announcement, Lian Jiu took out the planned curriculum he had written and handed one to each student. "Let's talk about the teaching plan again. Take a look at it first. If you have any questions, feel free to ask."
The monsters had all been trained and could read, but when they saw the courses that had nothing to do with learning how to be a human being, the little respect they had for the director disappeared.
None of them are very clever. One of the teachers directly questioned: "These classes don't mention how to be a good person at all. What's the point of having fun?"
The other monsters were also getting a little impatient: "We opened a kindergarten to adapt to the human race. What else can we learn if not from humans?"
Lian Jiu vaguely understood what they meant and chuckled, "Can I tell you what I think?"
The monsters nodded.
Lian Jiu then explained in a gentle voice, "In my opinion, adapting to society and learning from humans are two different concepts. Adapting to society means you can understand the current rules of survival and be able to thrive, while learning from humans means you have to erase your own characteristics and imitate them."
Several monsters were confused when they heard it.
Lian Jiu had no choice but to continue, "Self-control develops as you grow older and your consciousness matures. Humans can't control themselves when they're young, but knowledge isn't. Knowledge is accumulated little by little from the outside world as we grow older."
The monsters have always believed that the more similar they are to humans, the better, but this is the first time they have heard a different explanation from the director.
"But we can only get out if we learn from others."
Lian Jiu shook his head: "You just missed out on many years of development. If you hadn't, you would be just as familiar with the rules as humans, so there's no need to learn from them."
Hearing this, the monsters' hearts trembled violently.
Yes, I was trapped here because I didn't wake up before and couldn't keep up with the pace of development.
The fault is not that they are not human.
A teacher asked: "What can we do with these fun courses?"
Lian Jiu explained: "In the early childhood stage, children have limited learning abilities and are illiterate. Playing is their daily routine. We can teach them appropriate etiquette and moral principles in this process."
She smiled. "Regardless of species, if they grow up and learn the same way as human children, how can they have any problems adapting? This has nothing to do with learning how to be a human being."
After Lian Jiu finished speaking, Yu Chongming suddenly had an epiphany and was the first to raise his hand and applaud: "Well said, Director!"
The monsters suddenly woke up from their confusion: "That makes sense!"
With the director's level of cultivation and understanding, it's no wonder he couldn't tell her type!
Having successfully persuaded the monsters, Renkyu breathed a sigh of relief.
After making the plan, the monsters left one after another, and Yu Chongming took Lian Jiu to the dormitory.
Before this, Lian Jiu was particularly worried that he would have to sleep in a cave, but fortunately, in order to be humanized, the dormitory was also the same as a human room.
The housing problem was solved, but Lian Jiu belatedly realized a serious problem: "What should I eat?"
Yu Chongming's reaction was quite genuine: "Does a demon god of your level still need to eat?"
"Not only do I need to eat, the children need to eat too..." Lian Jiu said tremblingly, "It seems you don't have a cafeteria chef."
"Yes, we have a special training for youkai. They will be here after school starts in two days." Yu Chongming seemed to hear the new principal's stomach rumbling and said generously, "What would you like to eat? I'll treat you."
Lian Jiu's eyes lit up.
Then she asked, "Plant or animal?"
This question made Lian Jiu a little panicked: "What are you eating?"
"I don't usually eat, but if you're craving something, just catch some rabbits. I'll go get them for you?"
How is this different from catching mice before? Lian Jiu's heart skipped a beat: "I forgot to ask, what species are you?"
"I am the double-headed bird."
Another big monster!
Lian Jiu covered his face with his hands and said, "Isn't there any supermarket here?"
"No, we don't have much money." Yu Zhongming said frankly, "If you want to buy anything now, you can tell Huama, the driver who drove you here, and he will buy it for you very quickly."
Lian Jiu thought of the driver who showed him the way: "..."
Fortunately, this dormitory has a small kitchen. Although there is nothing in it, Lian Jiu used the more than 1,000 yuan he had on him before coming here to buy some daily necessities and put them in his bag, as well as some instant food, just in case of an emergency.
"Forget it." She took out a box of instant noodles, "Eat this first. I'll ask Hua Ma to buy some firewood, rice, oil, and salt tomorrow."
Yu Chongming came over curiously: "What is this?"
"Instant noodles, boil water." Seeing Chongming Bird eager to try, Lian Jiu took out another box and said, "I'll treat you."
Finally, Lian Jiu and Yu Chongming sat at the school gate with instant noodles in their hands. The latter ate with a crunching sound, his bird's beak appearing and disappearing from time to time.
Lian Jiu silently looked away and pretended not to see it.
She always had a feeling that it was unreal. After traveling through time, she became the principal of a monster kindergarten, and she felt a little melancholy about what would happen in the future.
Yu Chongming stared intently at the unfinished instant noodles in the new principal's hand. "Principal, do you want to drink your soup?"
“…”
Suddenly I no longer feel melancholy.
Never mind, this is fine for now.
In the next few days, Lian Jiu was so busy that he didn't leave the kindergarten at all, let alone cook. He ate fast food bought by Hua Ma every day. He had training during the day and worked overtime at night to understand the habits of these monsters.
Fortunately, all the monsters were trained according to her preset plan, and the effect was much better than expected. Even compared with human kindergarten teachers, these monsters were more kind to the children.
The day before the school reopened, Lian Jiu and Yu Chongming ate self-heating hot pot at the school gate. One advantage of being in the mountains is that it is not hot at all in the summer, and it is very comfortable to sit outside.
Yu Chongming slurped potato flour from his bowl, his beak showing. Lian Jiu was no longer surprised by this and asked, "School starts tomorrow, why hasn't my bodyguard arrived yet?"
Yu Chongming looked up in shock, holding half a piece of powder in his bird's beak: "With your level of cultivation, do you still need a bodyguard?"
"..." Lian Jiu sighed and put a few meatballs in her bowl, "Eat well."
At this time, a sound came from far away, and Lian Jiu turned his head to see that it was an unfamiliar male demon.
The other person was wearing a white robe, and had a tall, though somewhat thin, figure. He had handsome features, an almost abnormally white complexion, black hair casually tied behind his back, and two long furry ears hanging from his head.
Unlike other monsters who dress in artistic styles, this one looks like he came from ancient times and does not seem to be in good health.
Lian Jiu calmed down and asked, "Which parent are you?"
The man looked at her lightly, and uttered two words, "Bodyguard."
“…”
Lian Jiu took a deep breath.
The man in front of her looked like a lop-eared rabbit spirit, thin and sickly, and weak.
Ancient demon god? Protect yourself?
The male demon had already walked up to her. Yu Chongming, who had also heard the word "bodyguard," looked up. When she saw who it was, the hot pot fell to the ground with a thud. She opened and closed her beak: "Si! Si!"
She stammered, not caring about the bodyguards anymore. "Are you burned? Let me take a look."
But Yu Chongming reacted strongly, flapping his wings and running away.
Lian Jiu was puzzled. When he was cleaning up the mess, he remembered that he had a bodyguard: "Are you a rabbit demon?"
The male rabbit demon tilted his head and said nothing.
"I heard you're an ancient demon god..." Lian Jiu pondered and decided to ask, "Bunny, can you be my bodyguard?"
The male rabbit demon obviously didn't hear what she was saying, his eyes fell on Lian Jiu's unfinished hot pot.
Lian Jiu understood: "You didn't eat?"
The male rabbit demon remained silent.
"Then I'll make you a new one."
She originally wanted to wait until he finished eating before asking about his abilities, but she didn't expect the rabbit demon to finish the new hot pot in a few bites, and then quickly ate her portion, while her eyes fell on the portion that Yu Chongming had spilled on the ground.
Lian Jiu quickly emphasized: "You can't eat that!"
The male rabbit demon obviously hesitated for a moment, and then with a bit of disgust and lack of interest, he looked away.
Only then did he speak: "Barely."
"What do you mean by reluctant?"
"Be a bodyguard." The male rabbit demon said slowly, "I'll give it a try."
Lien Jiu:......
This can't be forced!
The author has something to say:
Unknown male protagonist: For that little bit of food, I have to make do with this.
