Chapter 74 The "Small" Perks of Core Disciples
In the freshman class five team.
Upon hearing the list announced by Du Weilun, Dai Huabin's mood inexplicably improved.
What good is winning the freshman assessment if you have no potential for growth? In the end, you're just like a firework, with only a moment of dazzling brilliance before fading into silence. You're destined not to be your own rival!
On the other side, Wang Dong, seeing Huo Yuhao's expression, assumed that Huo Yuhao didn't understand the academy's decision, and whispered, "Yuhao, are you alright?"
Huo Yuhao glanced at Wang Dong, his expression returning to calm, and shook his head slightly.
Seeing Huo Yuhao's nonchalant demeanor, it was Wang Dong who became somewhat anxious.
No one knows better than Wang Dong how much Huo Yuhao contributed to the team's championship and how hard he worked to improve himself. Now that the academy hasn't shown any appreciation for Huo Yuhao, how could Huo Yuhao not care at all?
Huo Yuhao's demeanor didn't seem like he didn't care; rather, it was more like he was silently bottling up his emotions. If this formed a knot in his heart, it might affect his future cultivation.
Huo Yuhao saw Wang Dong's anxious expression, but in the end he didn't explain anything. Instead, he started thinking about the arrangements for the next school year.
As everyone knows, being a core disciple of Shrek Academy doesn't really bring any benefits; it's mostly just a title.
However, what is widely known is that all the expenses of Shrek Academy's core disciples in the school cafeteria are paid by the school.
Don't underestimate this seemingly small benefit. In just three months, Huo Yuhao spent almost all of the 5,000 gold soul coins he extorted from Wang Dong at the start of the semester, as well as the money he earned from selling grilled fish every day, on the cafeteria.
A nutritional meal costing 100 gold soul coins may not seem like much, but most body cultivators only eat one meal a day. If Huo Yuhao ate freely, it could cost hundreds or even thousands of gold soul coins. This is the key reason why Huo Yuhao's physical fitness caught up with some great soul masters in just three months.
Even in a fantasy world, energy must be conserved.
Huo Yuhao had originally thought that he wouldn't have to worry about food expenses after three months of school, but he didn't expect that he wouldn't even get the treatment of a core disciple.
A decline in food quality would have a huge impact!
Those dishes made from plant-type soul beasts that are a hundred years old are, at best, just a meal, but at worst, they are a hundred-year-old rare and precious treasure!
And continue to maintain it by paying for it themselves?
Are you kidding me? If Huo Yuhao has to pay for his own food expenses of several hundred gold soul coins every day, then he won't have anything to do but make money.
Since the Martial Soul Department can't get any core disciple spots...
Huo Yuhao recalled Fan Yu's words about personally teaching him.
Now, the diameter of his mental detection range is close to 100 meters. If he were to shrink it in one direction, it would meet the conditions agreed upon with Fan Yu.
I might as well go to Fan Yu later and ask for the status of a core disciple of the Soul Guidance Department. I can give up other benefits, but the food must not be reduced.
Having made up his mind, Huo Yuhao became even more disdainful of the so-called core disciple status of the Martial Soul System. Yes, that's it.
While Huo Yuhao was distracted, the freshman assessment summary and class assignment meeting had already ended.
"Alright, everyone, please return to the teaching building according to the latest class assignments, led by your respective homeroom teachers. Wang Dong, you three come with me to collect your rewards."
The three followed Du Weiren to the faculty office area located behind the senior teaching building, and Du Weiren's office was on the top floor of the office area.
Du Weilun smiled slightly, pointed to the sofa, and said, "Please sit down. Huo Yuhao, don't feel guilty. As you've seen, besides you, there are also students from the top three teams who didn't become core disciples. Your performance was very good; your role in the competition was almost as strong as those core disciples, but your personal abilities still need improvement. When you get your second spirit ring, you can submit an application to the academy to use the rewards from this competition to obtain a sufficiently good spirit ring, which might help improve your lack of talent."
"Originally, as a member of the championship team, even if you lack talent and potential, you should at least enjoy the treatment of a core disciple. However, because the Soul Guidance Department strongly requested to accept you as a core disciple of the Soul Guidance Department, the higher-ups of the Martial Soul Department eventually canceled your treatment as a core disciple of the Martial Soul Department after discussion, and instead gave you special talent training treatment that does not conflict with the core disciple treatment of the Soul Guidance Department."
As he spoke, Du Weilun took a document out of the drawer and handed it to Huo Yuhao.
It turns out there was a problem with the Soul Guidance Department. I don't know how it happened, but they managed to lose the benefits they had as core disciples.
Du Weilun, as expected of the head of the department at Shrek Academy, played his part in distancing himself quite well, completely erasing the Martial Soul Department's disdain for Huo Yuhao.
It's not that the Martial Soul Department doesn't value you, it's just that the Soul Guidance Department thinks too highly of you...
Ha, Huo Yuhao had heard that kind of talk enough in his previous life.
Huo Yuhao took the two documents and read them carefully. The two documents explained Shrek Academy's special talent training program and resource allocation policy, as well as the resources Huo Yuhao could obtain by joining the program and the costs he would have to pay.
The special talent training program itself wasn't particularly noteworthy; it was basically just a guiding document. However, the document that Huo Yuhao was supposed to sign became the focus of attention.
Huo Yuhao's innate ability, Mental Detection, has an effect that surpasses ordinary soul skills in detection. When Shrek Academy needs to use Mental Detection, Huo Yuhao should take the initiative to cooperate with Shrek Academy.
In exchange, Huo Yuhao will have unlimited free access to all meals priced under 100 gold soul coins at the Shrek Academy cafeteria. After graduation, Huo Yuhao will be assigned accommodation within the academy and will be provided with a monthly consumption card of 1,000 gold soul coins, which can be used in all shops in Shrek City. If Huo Yuhao needs a soul ring with special soul skills to enhance his mental detection, he can apply to the academy and borrow the school's resources to obtain the specified soul ring.
This……
Huo Yuhao could understand the terms. In short, as long as Huo Yuhao stayed at Shrek Academy, he would be provided with food and lodging and would receive vouchers every month. At the same time, he would need to obtain a spirit ring that could help develop his talent, such as Spirit Sharing, and he could use the academy's channels.
Huo Yuhao couldn't understand the purpose of listing these terms.
These so-called terms are basically about what Huo Yuhao got from here, but there aren't many restrictions on Huo Yuhao. Surely this treaty isn't for charity?
Well... it's hard to say. After all, Huo Yuhao is a member of the champion team. Perhaps this is another kind of reward for winning the championship?
Huo Yuhao ultimately signed his name; why not take advantage of free benefits?
Du Weilun was satisfied with Huo Yuhao's attitude. He nodded and put the document away. A large ruby ring on his right hand flashed, and a leather bag appeared in his hand.
