(Next Morning)
Filling the night, tonight's night sky brought several faint spirits, as if giving the night mist a layer of muslin, giving people a kind of mist-covered water hazy sense of beauty.
When the night washed away, as the distant day showed its first hints of white, a dorm's door quietly opened.
After breakfast, the bell sounded punctually, all the students started gathering on the Academy grounds.
Today seemed especially bustling, not only did two heads Flender and Zhao Wuji come, in addition to Grandmaster and the Academy's other several teachers also all arrived on the grounds.
"Good. Everyone's present. Next, I have some matters to declare"
Flender walked over before the Nine students, his gaze solemnly sweeping across the Nine.
"First. I will give you newly arrived two students an introduction to the Academy teachers."
"This is teacher Li Yu-Song, spirit Dragon Pattern Stick. Sixty third-ranked Spirit Emperor"
Indicating the second, even older, seemingly over seventy years old man, saying:
"This is Lu Ji-Bin, spirit Star Luo Chess, sixty sixth-ranked Spirit Emperor."
The last teacher was a bit younger than the previous two, seemingly about the same as Flender.
"This is Shao Xinshao. Spirit Sweet Pea. Seventy-first ranked Spirit Sage, food system, Spirit Master. Teacher Shao is among the food system Spirit Masters I know of, absolutely ranked in the top five powers."
If the first two teachers weren't astonishing enough, then, a seventy-first ranked food system Spirit Sage appearing made Shen Long shocked.
While Tian...
Well, Tian kept reading his book. Without a single interest in the introduction
Except, Grandmaster, Every single teacher were gritting their teeth in anger.
Finally, Flender walked over next to Grandmaster, grasping Grandmaster's shoulders, saying:
"Lastly, I must carefully introduce to everyone our Very new teacher. He, precisely relying on his research, arriving at the Ten Great Spirit Competences, regarded as the best in spirit theory, the wisest Spirit Master, at the same time also Tang San's Teacher, Mister Yu Xiao Gang. Of course, he also is my old brother. We've already known each other for several decades. Perhaps you won't understand too clearly by hearing his name, but I think you should all have heard his title. Hereafter, you can call him Grandmaster."
Hearing the word 'Grandmaster', everyone couldn't help but be shaken, gazes one after another turning to Tang San, even if they didn't know of Grandmaster, but able to instruct such an outstanding disciple as Tang San, how could he not be an excellent teacher?
Tian kept reading though...
"TANG TIAN WILL YOU FOCUS, WE ARE DOI--
Tian looked up with his big innocent eyes, he crossed his arms, as his eyes got misty, and he looked down.
"Teacher, Are you angry", Tian asked with a soft voice, and big innocent eyes enhanced by the glasses.
"I---It's...", Flender was on the verge of defeat already.
"Teacher? Do you really hate me", Soft voice of Tian couldn't help but crackdown, as his eyes got even mistier.
Shen Long slapped her forehead, There it goes again, This guy sure knows how to charm others in moments.
Tang San sighed as he looked at others.
Sure enough, As he expected
Xiao wu was staring at Tian with contempt against Flender, Same with all other girls except Shen Long.
While all the boys looked at Tian like he was some extremely precious little brother, that needs to be protected at all cost.
Sure enough, looking at the pitiful Tian even Flender was flustered.
"No no I don't really... Hahahaha L-Let's Just continue with the introduction Hahahaha"
"Ok", Tian said coldly as he kept looking down in his book, reading it.
"..."
'Where is that pitiful flustered little boy', Everyone thought, but Tian was just into his book.
Grandmaster chuckled, This is the most charming boy he has ever met, and he sure knows how to take advantage of that face and charms.
Flender decided to just blatantly ignore Tang Tian because the boy is too strong of an Opponent. as he coughed twice and continued:
"Starting from today, Grandmaster has full authority over teachers and students, we will all coordinate with Grandmaster"
"Grandmaster, what do you have to say?"
The last inquiry was directed at Grandmaster.
Grandmaster nodded, face as stiff as always, looking at the Nine students gathered, indifferently saying:
"The Academy only has you, Nine students. In my opinion, you are also one entity. I have already seen your records. While Shen Long and Tang Tian, the new students didn't have records yet, I personally looked over them while they were at Nuoding Academy."
"Later, I will draw up some focused education methods. Apart from coordination, I do not wish to hear many different voices. Whoever it is, I will treat everyone equally. Since you are the students of Monster Academy, you must be more monstrous than common Spirit Masters, hereafter making everyone when speaking of you only think of the word 'Monster'. Starting from now, you Nine will not be like before, that is split into initial and high-rank sections but undergo a completely unified education. I will rank you according to age. First, Dai Mubai. Second, Oscar. Third, Tang San. Fourth, Ma Hongjun. Fifth, Xiao Wu. Sixth, Ning Rongrong. Seventh, Zhu Zhuqing. Eight, Shen Long, Ninth, Tang Tian"
Grandmaster's gaze swept across everyone.
"Tian, Come forward", Grandmaster strictly ordered
Tian stopped reading and sighed, knowing full well, what's going to happen
As he stepped forward, "Yes sir"
"Good. Everyone else can be disbanded now, gather here early tomorrow. In addition, I do not want to see anyone absent at breakfast. Otherwise, you will receive special drills"
-------
Gaze following the teachers successively departing, Oscar standing at Tang San's side, said in a low voice:
"Little San, it appears this Teacher of yours is even more difficult to deal with than dean Flender, ah!"
Tang San smiled slightly, saying:
"Teacher's work is always meticulous, as long as everything is done strictly according to his instructions there will not be any problems."
-------
(Meanwhile)
Except for Flender and Grandmaster, there was only Tian who was in front of them
"Tian, I want you to be completely honest with me, Alright?", Grandmaster said
Tian seriously nodded his head
"You know that your Father met me right? You must have seen it in my memories", Grandmaster asked again
Tian nodded again
"Wait... What... He can see people's past", Flender looked between Grandmaster and Tian switching back and forth.
Grandmaster sighed, "He can't just see past, He can see future as well"
"H-He what"
"Tian, I want you to know and understand that we are trustworthy, Alright, Can you trust us?", Grandmaster asked again
Tian nodded again
"Wait, wait, wait... He can see the future?"
Tian smiled and looked at the flender, "I can't really see the future Teacher"
Hearing the answer Flender sighed in relief
"Future is always changing, How can I see what's in the future, I am not some god or time wizard"
Grandmaster was shocked, "Wait, I thought, The Book sees everything, including future"
Tian nodded again, "Akashic Records sees the true and unaltered form of everything, Including future"
"Then"
"Allow me to explain, the future is nothing but the outcome of a series of choices when someone sees someone moving, they can predict their future movements, I am different though... What I can see, are the variations, from there I can calculate those variations, and screen over millions of outcomes, and then further screen them into a single outcome that's most suitable for the situation... But then again, the future is always changing as it's not constant, So, when one forcefully changes their move, I can select one of the outcome from the millions that I calculated and predict the outcome of their next move and the next to next move quite perfectly "
"..."
Both Flender and Grandmaster were quite shocked by the revelation.
"How long do you actually need to finish your Calculations?", Grandmaster asked again
"Hmm... I guess about 0.3 Seconds?"
"..."
"But that's only if it's done in a hurry, If you give me at least 1 second, I can see their past and perfectly predict their future of what they are going to do next few minutes"
"That's... Quite a soul spirit you got there", Flender was shocked to the extreme
Grandmaster sighed, "You have no idea... Tian, before we really start, Do you have any questions for me"
Tian nodded, "Years Ago, the day when Dad came to meet you, There was another man with him he called me his son-In-Law, Why?"
Grandmaster shook his head, "I don't know that person, But considering he was with Tang Hao, he might be telling the truth, You might have your Marriage fixed somewhere"
"I don't want to marry, and besides who is this girl anyway?"
Grandmaster smiled, "You saw my memories, you tell me"
"Good point"
"Any other question?"
"No sir"
"Very well, My turn, What's in that book"
"Everything"
Grandmaster nodded, "By everything you mean that--
"By everything, I mean everything sir"
"Even clan's techniques?, soul land's long lost languages, spirit beasts, Cultivation methods, Training methods, Everything?"
Tian nodded again.
Grandmaster smiled, "Can you surpass ranks of spirit beasts?"
Tian nodded, "As long as It's related to a mental attribute, I guess, I can surpass the ranks"
Grandmaster smiled again, "What about external spirit bones?"
"I can get them"
"With certainty?"
"As long as it's related to mental Spirit beast, Then, yes, I can get the spirit bones with perfect certainty"
"Alright, go, I know what to do next"
-------
(Next Day)
"Go and stretch, we will do a little exercise", Grandmaster declared
"Exercise?"
"Tang Tian, Come forward"
Tang tian sighed again, Since, he knows what Grandmaster is going to say
"Make a line, you guys will be fighting him"
Tang Tian sighed even more, "Grandmaster, I don't thi--
"Don't talk nonsense, You are the youngest here, and yet, you are the strongest as well... we will use this chance for enhancing one on one battle chance for everyone... Everyone go, stretch and warm-up"
"YES"
-------
"First match, Zhu Zhuqing Vs Tang Tian... Start"
"Please go easy on me sister", Tang tian said without even looking up
She coldly without any emotion called out to her spirit
"Hell Civet"
She Produces claws and ears.
And two yellow and one purple ring formed behind her.
"Hell Rush Stab"
"..."
Tian kept reading when she kept running around him, in circles, Tian can't even keep with her speed anymore.
In a flash, She stabbed him
!!!
Only for her claws to get past him.
[Ring 1: Impart]
Tian puts information directly into the mind of her's.
[Ring 2: Obscure]
Tian hides his real location from her mind
Thus, creating an Illusion, that beyond the comprehension of everyone here.
"Just like a magic trick, what you see is not what is happening", Tian smirked and said it while reading the book
Zhu Zhuqing frowned, She knows from the experience of Mubai that this guy can create illusions.
But she also knows something else, This guy can be found out if attack all around.
"Hell Hundred Claws"
In a short while, she disappeared and attack every single crook and manny. Only not to be found.
*Huff*Huff
"What's going on?"
!!!
She was standing in her original spot.
"..."
'What the heck'
She looked up to see Tian's figure wave like a mirage.
Tian smiled sweetly and looked directly into her eyes.
!!!
She Felt like her blood flow is temporarily slowed down making her lightheaded and was unable to stand on her feet as she fell on her ass.
'What's going on'
With a powerful headache, she was instantly unable to fight.
She held her head, it feels bad, Very bad, she felt like fainting.
But the moment she almost fainted and lied down on the ground, a hand captured her
Tian's voice clearly echoed, she felt like he is right there, Holding her from falling down, "Sister, Just like a magic trick, what you see is not what is happening"
"Wha--
!!!
She looked here and there, He was standing at his original position... She was standing in her original position as well.
"Why aren't you guys moving yet?", Mubai asked feeling something was wrong
Tang Tian snapped close his book and looked at Zhu Zhuquing, smiling charmingly at her.
"..."
Dai Mubai frowned, But he wasn't a bit concern, He already knows what Zhu Zhuqing will do next, she will coldly reject his smile.
But to his surprise and envy, She smiled at Tang Tian as she bowed a little
"You really are strong, I will go back and train in mental fortification even more", She smiled at Tian
"Good Luck sister", softly said tian, enhancing his charm by his big innocent eyes.
"Yes", she smiled charmingly at him
"Hey Hey Hey, Flower boy... She is mi---
Dai mubai couldn't even finish his sentence, when he felt cold aura, as he sweats, and mechanically look at Zhu Zhuqing
"You were saying?", she coldly asked
Her meaning was clear, 'Speak one more word, and you are dead'
"N-Nothing... Nothing at all, Hahaha what can I say? Hahahaha"
Tang tian alongside everyone else chuckled, and Rongrong, Shen Long, and Xiao wu giggled
"Next Match... Tang Tian vs Xiao Wu"
!!!
Tang Tian gulped, she is not the opponent, he can defeat right now.
As Xiao wu grinned and come forward
[T/N: Actually, In cannon, Grandmaster joined just months after Tang san joined the academy, in my story Grandmaster joined the academy after 1 year. And Tang san just got his third spirit ring, Xiao wu as well, rest is same]
