YM778.TV Chapter 54 - 54 Children of Heroes
After washing up, he walked slowly to the school cafeteria.
The number one school of strength had more students, and its area was larger than many comprehensive universities.
The school was located near a mountain and a lake. The terrain of the campus also varied. Many of the trees on the main road were newly planted, but there were also many trees that had originally been on the mountain.
These old trees were at least ten years old, with deep roots and luxuriant leaves, growing without restraint.
Walking on the tree-lined path, smelling the scent of the plants and trees, and listening to the chirping of insects and birds in the morning, Ning Shi’s heart was at peace, as if he had returned to his school days.
At that time, he was in the prime of his life. He was occasionally sentimental, but more often than not, he was lost in the uncertainties of the future.
Passing by the Xinyuan sports field, Ning Shi found that there were many students practicing early in the morning.
Three days after entering the school, the teachers had already begun teaching basic cultivation techniques such as standing stance.
The diligent students got into their positions in twos and threes and practiced their stances.
The morning sun shone on their young faces, full of vitality and vigor as if they were filled with infinite hope.
Ning Shi glanced around and saw that the duo of Luo Yao and Jiang Bichao was also among them.
The two of them were practicing the stationary stance of Bajiquan.
The two of them were already sweating. It was clear that they had been training for a while.
According to Master Li’s teaching method, when students practiced Bajiquan, they had to first practice the stationary stance, then the moving stance. Only after both stances had reached the entry-level could they learn the Bajiquan.
This was because Bajiquan was extremely powerful and had high requirements for stability. If one did not practice post-standing well, their fighting stance would be useless.
Ning Shi watched for a while but did not disturb the students. He quietly left for the cafeteria to eat.
“Principal Ning, this is meat bun, this is beef rice noodle, and the soybean milk is on your right. Do you think this is enough? If it’s not enough, you can call me at any time.”
When the principal came to the canteen, the canteen staff was very respectful and insisted on personally delivering the food to the table. Ning Shi deeply felt the charm of his power and authority.
However, he didn’t like this.
“That’s enough. Thank you, Chef Wang. I’m only here to eat. You can go back to work. The students are coming in one after another. I don’t want to delay your work.”
Ning Shi had always maintained respect for the staff at the bottom rank.
After Chef Wang left, Ning Shi took a mouthful of noodles, then grabbed the meat bun and took a big bite.
The vermicelli was refreshing, sour and spicy, appetizing, the meat bun had a thin skin and a lot of juicy meat filling.
The food in the canteen was really not bad. Ning Shi could not help but nod.
“What do you think, Advisor Ning? Are you satisfied with the food in the canteen? We’ve specially assigned a group of star-level chefs to cook at the first strength school.”
A voice came. Ning Shi didn’t look up and continued to eat.
From the voice, he knew that it was Yun Moxiang, whom he had not seen for two days.
“The official arrangement is very good and thoughtful. However, the nutritional values of the meals are more important. The taste and so on are just additional.”
Strength-type awakeners had to eat well and train their bodies at a high intensity. If they did not have enough nutrients, their bodies would suffer.
As Ning Shi spoke, he lowered his head to eat.
After seeing Hao Meng’s figure last time, Yun Moxiang thought that Ning Shi liked women with large chests.
She was wearing a low-cut knitted shirt with a spaghetti strap today. It was paired with a shiny platinum necklace, and it made people subconsciously want to look at her chest.
Although Yun Moxiang’s chests weren’t large, they were the type that could create gullies if they were packed together.
Along the way, whether it was the students or the teachers, they all kept looking at her.
Who knew that after Ning Shi heard her voice, he didn’t even raise his head and just buried his head in his food!
Yun Moxiang gritted her teeth and deliberately said, “This is the students’ information report that you wanted. It’s in my hands. If you want to see it, take it from me.
Ning Shi was a little hungry. He gave the food the highest respect and focused on tasting the food.
“Put it on the table. I’ll look at it later.”
Yun Moxiang was speechless.
Ning Shi didn’t notice Yun Moxiang’s anger. He ate his breakfast seriously, and after ten minutes, he finished the last cup of soy milk.
Touching his slightly bulging belly, Ning Shi let out a satisfied sigh.
“Eh? Miss Yun, why are you still here? You can just put the document on the table. You don’t have to wait for me.”
“By the way, have you eaten yet? If you haven’t, you can eat in the canteen. The food made by a star chef is so delicious!”
Yun Moxiang’s face was expressionless. She tried her best to resist the urge to turn around and leave as she coldly said.
“The information is related to a student’s privacy. I’ll take it away after you’re done.”
After she finished speaking, she handed over the document.
Ning Shi raised his head for the first time and saw Yun Moxiang’s outfit. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Yun Moxiang was indeed a first-class beauty. Whether it was her face, figure, or skin, there was nothing to pick on.
Seeing that Ning Shi’s eyes were also looking at her chest, Yun Moxiang was instantly smug. At the same time, she was even more certain that Ning Shi liked women with large chests.
Ning Shi retracted his gaze, took the information, and said seriously, “Miss Yun, I understand that women love to look pretty, but we’re in school, so I hope you’ll pay attention to the way you dress.”
“This is too revealing and sexy. It’s not appropriate to be worn on campus.”
Despite dressing up deliberately for him, she had been taught a lesson instead.
Yun Moxiang couldn’t help but mock silently, having lost the tactfulness and alertness that she had honed from years of official work.
“You’re just a sanctimonious hypocrite. You say that you don’t like my exposure, but your body is very honest and your eyes keep glancing at me.”
Ning Shi was rendered speechless. He could not understand Yun Moxiang’s actions.
“This is a reaction that any normal man would have. There are so many male students in the school, and they’re all hot-blooded teenagers. Do you think it’s a good idea for them to look at you in such a way?”
Yun Moxiang’s expression froze. She only wanted Ning Shi to pay attention to her and had not thought of anything else. Hearing Ning Shi’s words, she felt that she was in the wrong.
However, women would not be reasonable when they were in a heated quarrel, so she replied stubbornly.
“It’s my freedom to wear whatever I want. Although I’m your liaison, you have no right to question my style.”
The two of them argued for a while and had already attracted the attention of many students.
In order to avoid any negative influence, Ning Shi took the materials and walked out of the cafeteria.
Yun Moxiang, who was following behind him, calmed her emotions and said coldly.
“All of Luo Yao’s and Jiang Bichao’s information is in the file. These two students entered the school through a special passage, not because of the test ranking.”
Ning Shi frowned. “That’s impossible. The power of both their punches ranks among the top of the school. How can they take the special passage? ”
The term ‘special passage’ was referring to the 1000 enrollment spots left for the poor and those from underdeveloped areas.
Although Hong’an County, where Luo Yao and Jiang Bichao were from, was not rich, it was not poor either.
“There were a total of 112 students in the school. They were specially recommended by the military department. No matter what their test results are, they will be directly exempted from the test and admitted into the school. These people are the children of martyrs.”
At this point, Yun Moxiang had forgotten about her earlier unhappiness, and her tone was slightly heavy.
“Luo Yao’s parents were both veterans who joined the army when they were 18 years old. After the insect disaster, they were transferred to the 2nd Army of the northern border to defend against the insect attack in the northern border.”
“When the magma worm first appeared, Luo Yao’s father had died in battle, and not even his corpse was left behind. When the thunder moth appeared, her mother also sacrificed herself heroically. You should have seen the relevant videos.”
“As for Jiang Bichao, his mother was a law enforcer. She had been awarded second-class merit many times and first-class merit twice. According to her merit, she could have been a leader in management a long time ago.”
“However, she refused to be promoted and had always been the captain of The Forbidden Team, sticking to the front line.”
“In a gunfight with a drug dealer from the southeast corner, she was unfortunately hit by a stray bullet while trying to save a child and died on the spot.”
They were both children of heroes. Ning Shi was filled with deep veneration. It was because there were so many ordinary and extraordinary heroes protecting Yunmeng Kingdom that Yunmeng Kingdom could withstand the wind and rain for five thousand years and not fall.
“Add more slots to the special passage. Give me the names of the 112 children of the martyrs. I’ll take special care of them.”
Ning Shi planned to give priority to the children of martyrs to provide strength potions and cultivation resources.
He didn’t feel that there was anything wrong with giving preferential treatment to the children of martyrs. Even if it would cause unfairness, it was what they deserved.
Yun Moxiang’s report contained information on all the top 16 students in this competition. Everything was listed very clearly.
For example, Luo Yao hated it when people called her a child. Due to her short stature, she especially liked big things. Since she was young, she had been a girl with extraordinary strength, but she was very kind and had a tabby cat at home.
As her parents were soldiers, she was raised by her grandmother.
Her grandma opened a breakfast stall that sold tofu pudding. Luo Yao had been helping her grandma with her chores since she was 6 years old, and she started selling tofu pudding with her grandma.
At the end of the information, there was a special note that stated, “Luo Yao is very satisfied with herself being a strength-type awakener and especially admires Principal Ning Shi. There are posters and newspaper decorations of Principal Ning in her dormitory.”
Ning Shi was a little proud of himself for getting a little fangirl so quickly.
Jiang Bichao’s background was very shocking. He was the son of the director of the Investigation Department, Jiang Yunsheng!
Seeing Ning Shi’s confused look, Yun Moxiang explained, “Because of the special nature of director Jiang Yunsheng’s work, the specific details of his work have always been kept secret from his family, so his wife, Jiang Yingmei, has always misunderstood him. She thought that he did not do any actual work and that he was always trying to get promoted.”
“In addition, both of them had strong personalities, so they eventually divorced.”
“Jiang Bichao had taken his mother’s last name, so the name Bichao meant that he had to surpass director Jiang.”
“After Jiang Yingmei’s death, Director Jiang went to the southeast corner and single-handedly destroyed the stronghold of the lone owl. However, as he acted too rashly, he was almost beaten to death by the awakener in the southeast corner.”
“Even though he eventually returned to the country, he was seriously injured. His strength has been stuck at Level 8 for more than ten years, and there is no hope of him reaching level 9 in this life.”
Ning Shi sighed. Before the National Awakening, the Investigation Department’s work was a level one state secret, and it must not be disclosed. Jiang Yunsheng followed the organization’s discipline, even if his wife misunderstood, he never explained.
If he was in Jiang Yunsheng’s shoes, Ning Shi felt that he might not be able to do what Jiang Yunsheng did.
Yun Moxiang continued, “Jiang Bichao’s prejudice against Director Jiang is very deep. His father and son relationship is very bad. He is under the influence of his mother, Jiang Bichao, whose biggest wish is to surpass his father’s achievements and career.”
Ning Shi nodded. Jiang Bichao was very talented. He was the youngest among the top 16 students, only 15 years old.
The data recorded an analysis of Jiang Bichao’s personality.
“Jiang Bichao may look simple and honest on the outside, but he’s actually a very meticulous person with strong logical thinking. He’s also very mature.”
“As he had seen Luo Yao’s talent, he had deliberately befriended her and nine of the top 16 students, who are now his good friends.”
“The way he does things is very purposeful. You need to pay special attention and guidance to him to avoid going astray.”
Ning Shi nodded. Jiang Bichao’s personality was not a bad thing. Strength-type awakeners also needed to know how to use their brains. It was not scary to have a purpose, but it was scary to have no brain.
Ning Shi believed that a hero’s child would be influenced by the hero’s temperament. Under his guidance, Jiang Bichao would definitely have a stage to show off his ability.
