Chapter 101: Convincing the Teacher

Wu Bingji said, "So what do you want to do?"

Tang San replied, "First, we need to form a small team where everyone's abilities complement each other. We shouldn't have too many people, because otherwise there will be too little profits for each of us. Then, we'll go together to hunt for the Winged Tigers. If we find them, we'll hunt them down. A teacher can supervise us from the side and intervene if there's danger."

Wu Bingji frowned. "Teachers won't interfere in these tasks; we can only rely on our abilities."

"Leave that to me. I'll find a way to convince the teacher. If the teacher agrees to just accompany and secretly protect us, not actually help us, it should be acceptable, right?"

"Of course. But will the teacher agree?" Wu Bingji asked doubtfully. Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

"Leave it to me.” Tang San was confident.

After leaving Wu Bingji, Tang San told Du Bai to return to his room, then headed to Mu Enqing's residence.

The Redemption Society's campus was small, so there were no offices for the teachers.

He knocked on the door, but Mu Enqing hadn't returned yet. The teachers had probably gone out together for whatever reason.

Tang San wasn't in a hurry and just waited at the door.

About half an hour later, Mu Enqing finally returned. Surprised to see Tang San at her door, he asked, "Are you looking for me?"

"Um, hello, Teacher Mu. I have an idea about the practical training class I'd like to discuss with you," Tang San said respectfully.

"Come in," Mu Enqing nodded.

The teachers had actually been discussing Tang San's abilities in combat. If it weren't for the very thorough investigation into Tang San's background, they would have found it extremely suspicious that a nine-year-old child had such immense talent in combat. It was almost against the natural order!

“I am just worried that there might be danger," murmured Mu Enqing.

Tang San spoke seriously, "Teacher Mu, flowers grown in a greenhouse won’t do well when they are exposed to the wind and sun. On the day I arrived, the mayor told me that we have a long and tough journey ahead of us if we want to help the human race. So we have to put in as much effort as we can. Also, as I said, teachers can follow us in secret and do something only if there's a real danger to our lives. That makes sense, doesn’t it?"

Mu Enqing said, "I need to think about this. Do you have a specific plan?"

"I just talked about it with the eldest senior brother, and we think we can pick a somewhat difficult task and organize a small team to hunt. That’s why we hope that at least one teacher can be there to protect us in secret. Only the eldest senior brother and I would know about the teacher's presence; the others wouldn't. As long as we can complete the task ourselves, the teacher doesn’t have to intervene. They can just watch over us secretly. As for the reward, we can share half with the teacher. If the teacher ends up intervening to save us, we can even give the teacher eighty percent. It's all part of our training."

Mu Enqing responded, "That's a solution. I'll discuss it with Teacher Guan. I'll let you know tomorrow if it's feasible."

"Okay, thank you, Teacher," Tang San said, taking his leave immediately.

As he reached the door, he paused, turned back, and earnestly told Mu Enqing, "Teacher Mu, I really think that if we don’t face these kinds of challenges where our lives are in danger, we can’t really grow strong."

Tang San left, leaving Mu Enqing deep in thought. The words that struck him most were Tang San's about flowers in a greenhouse being unable to withstand wind and rain.

This was not the case for most human vassals; let alone being kept safe in a greenhouse, their very survival was constantly threatened. However, due to their lacking innate talent, even though they had plenty of stimulus and made all the efforts they could, their growth was ultimately limited.

But the children at the Redemption Society Academy were carefully chosen by the organization for their potential to become strong. Should these children, then, not face risks? Without the pressure of life-threatening danger, can their growth indeed be smooth?

This question had also been troubling several teachers, and for good reason—those with the most talent among these children were also the slowest to improve. This was true for both Du Bai's Celestial Fox Transformation and Gu Li's Chrono Croc Transformation.

The problem was that such bloodline powers were too precious; who would dare to gamble with them?

Taking a deep breath, Mu Enqing stood up, intent on discussing this issue with Guan Longjiang.

As Tang San left Mu Enqing's room, the corners of his mouth curled up into a smirk. He knew he had most likely succeeded in persuading the teacher. Actually, it was already evident from Mu Enqing's expression at the end of today's combat class. At that time, he had noticed a clear hint of disappointment in Mu Enqing's gaze.
