Seeing this, Li Pu was slightly taken aback.
A seemingly ordinary name and a redundant comment.
Compared to other homeroom teachers' comments, this teacher's comment was astoundingly simple and perfunctory.
In contrast, the subtext of this "outstanding homeroom teacher" comment is: This guy has no special skills.
And what does that question mark mean, does even the school doubt whether this teacher is outstanding? This is too much undermining.
The crucial part is, this teacher was standing right in front of Li Pu.
You could say it was fate; both Li Pu's first and last matches had this teacher as the referee.
(You're the one, I choose you.)
So with a smile, he clicked confirm.
"Teacher, please take care of me from now on."
After selecting, he reached out his hand to the other person.
This ordinary middle-aged man was going to be his homeroom teacher from now on.
"Huh?"
Watching Li Pu make his choice, Guan Heshi finally reacted: "What does this have to do with me?"
Simply put, he was quite the invisible man among the teachers in the cultivation department.
In fact, in recent years, he had faced the awkward situation of no one choosing him as their homeroom teacher.
However, he was quite accepting and even enjoyed this situation because what he loved most was to chill.
No need to mentor students, just teaching his specialized courses was enough, and the salary was still decent.
And yet... the winner of this year's tournament chose him?
What's wrong with being a slacker, enjoying life, and being a happy idle person?
Why did this student choose me?
For a moment, Guan Heshi felt really innocent.
Through the big screen's broadcast close-up, everyone witnessed Li Pu's every move.
The whole process took almost no time, making it surprisingly unexpected again.
"Judging by his demeanor, it seems like he already had an answer in mind, that's why he had no hesitation?"
"Does that mean his chosen homeroom teacher is really impressive?"
"I think it's quite possible; maybe he heard some insider information."
"The cultivation department, huh? Actually, it doesn't sound too bad."
"Do you think I could still choose this homeroom teacher with my 127th rank?"
"Hard to say, since it's the choice of the current top student, pretty soon many might follow suit."
At this moment, Guan Heshi heard some negative comments about him starting to spread.
He had to admit that in his many years of a chill career, this was an unprecedented challenge.
Therefore, at this moment, he didn't have time to chat with Li Pu, and hurriedly left the stage to find a countermeasure.
Anyway, Li Pu had already made his choice, and it was a settled deal.
The most urgent thing now was to let freshmen know that he was a useless homeroom teacher to prevent the situation from getting out of hand.
[Li Pu, please come here]
Just as Li Pu was a bit puzzled about what to do next, luckily, Teacher Lan's voice came over the announcement.
This instantly energized him.
Because if he wasn't mistaken, the other party should be fulfilling a promise.
Moreover, during the previous meeting in the VIP room, several department heads also hinted that if he truly secured first place, there would be additional rewards.
"Let's go."
Li Pu glanced at the scarecrow, which had just finished a bottle of cola.
[Scare... hic!]
It let out a burp and happily followed.
...
There were many VIP viewing rooms in the convention center, one of which was entirely reserved for the cultivation department today.
At this moment, Teacher Lan stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the hall.
Behind him stood many teachers from the cultivation department.
"Director Lan, is it really appropriate to let Guan Heshi bring Li Pu?"
"That's right, hasn't he not brought students for like five years?"
"Wrong, it's six years."
"Believe it or not, that guy is now frantically asking all the teachers below to help publicize for him."
"Publicize what, that he suddenly got motivated this year and wants to excel?"
"No, he's promoting that he's a waste and unsuitable to be a homeroom teacher."
"..."xN
"That guy, he's still the same as always."
The teachers spoke on and on, wanting Lan Feng to use his authority as the head to transfer Li Pu to other homeroom teachers.
Publicly, they hoped Xidu University's talented freshman wouldn't be delayed.
Privately, the cultivation department hadn't had a tournament first-place student in many years, and who wouldn't want the honor of being their homeroom teacher?
"Everyone, do you remember what professional course Teacher Guan teaches?"
When the voices gradually quieted down, Lan Feng, with his hands behind his back, finally spoke.
"This..."
Lan Feng's question left everyone in complete silence.
Having worked together, how could they not remember what course Teacher Guan teaches?
It's common for a teacher to teach several courses.
But Teacher Guan was an exception; for the past ten years, he's taught only one course over and over.
From this perspective, he had his commendable points.
Moreover, everyone knew that while Teacher Guan was slack, he was serious and diligent in teaching his specialized course.
And this course was "Introduction to Plant Reincarnation."
The scarecrow's reincarnation potential was low, but Li Pu's scarecrow was very strong.
So with Lan Feng's reminder, they seemed to understand something.
Maybe Li Pu was precisely aiming for Teacher Guan.
Once they realized this, no one had any more objections to this result.
Because from an educational standpoint, this was unarguably reasonable.
Maybe Teacher Guan was the most suitable choice to be his homeroom teacher.
"Alright, I still have some matters to discuss with that kid."
"I'll be off first."
Having quelled everyone's objections, Lan Feng left the room.
When he arrived at the next VIP room, Li Pu and the scarecrow were already waiting there.
"Hello, teacher."
Seeing Lan Feng's arrival, Li Pu stood up.
"Please, take a seat."
Lan Feng nodded.
"First of all, congratulations on securing first place in this tournament."
"Actually, I didn't expect you to choose the cultivation department."
Lan Feng was indeed speaking the truth.
Logically speaking, a freshman who could train his summoned beast to this extent in merely two weeks might somewhat underestimate the cultivation department, as it seemed too easy.
This was human nature, and he could understand it.
So Li Pu choosing the cultivation department was indeed unexpected, and the fact that he chose without any hesitation made it even more surprising.
"I believe each specialty has its strengths, and for me, it's all a new world of unknown knowledge."
"Moreover, I heard from a summoner senior that in the end, every specialty leads to the same destination."
Li Pu first laid some groundwork, then went to the point: "Besides, I'm really interested in what the teacher mentioned earlier."
"Which is the directional summoning talisman."
