Chapter 124: Academy in the Pirate World
In the depths of the Fishman Island, the blue water gently laps the shore, bringing bursts of fresh sea breeze.
The sun shines through the waves and sprinkles on this mysterious land, reflecting the expectant and anxious faces of the fishmen.
There is a glimmer of hope in their eyes, expecting Huo Yuhao to bring them more powerful power, which is not only a guarantee of survival, but also the freedom and dignity they have longed for.
However, anxiety also surges like a tide. The fishmen are about to embark on a journey to live on the sea as the first batch of residents. This unknown future makes them feel uneasy.
How many years have passed?
How many years have passed since they first discovered the world above the sea?
Generation after generation of fishmen have passed away.
During these long years, they have experienced countless tribulations.
Although Princess Otohime has portrayed the beautiful vision of peaceful coexistence between fishmen and humans in countless propaganda, all this seems to be out of reach.
Until today, they finally ushered in this historic moment.
Under this complex mood, the fishmen's hearts are filled with unspeakable emotions.
Recalling those years, their life in the seabed was so hard.
And now, they are about to set foot on that strange land, with both visions of the future and fear of the unknown in their hearts.
The shelter of the navy shocked them greatly, and this feeling was like walking from darkness to light, which was incredible.
Huo Yuhao's figure seemed particularly tall in their eyes. He was the hope in their hearts, leading them out of the deep sea and into a wider world.
Huo Yuhao looked at the group of fishmen, and after settling them down, he did not stay too long.
Instead, he took them directly to the place where they were going to live, and then came to an island alone.
Island No. 34 was originally a commercial center in the Sabaody Archipelago, prosperous and lively, with merchants gathering, and dark transactions continued.
However, with the intervention of Huo Yuhao, the fate of the island has changed dramatically.
Huo Yuhao not only wiped out the pirates and saved countless enslaved children, but also transformed Island No. 34 into a paradise full of hope.
Every corner of the island is full of vitality and vigor.
Huo Yuhao established a branch of Shrek Academy here, and the resident teachers are at least at the Soul Emperor level.
They shoulder the mission of education, passing on knowledge and power to these children who are eager to learn.
There are as many as two thousand students on the island, all of whom are children who have come out of hardship, and their eyes are shining with desire and longing for the future.
Most of these children are between six and ten years old, from different races, with different skin colors and personalities.
Their fate has been changed in the hands of Huo Yuhao, and the tragic experience in the past has become their tenacious driving force.
At the same time, they also have greater respect for Huo Yuhao.
Among these children, there is a giant cub named Quesanti, who is extremely tall.
Although Quesanti is only nine years old, he is already a great soul master of level 27, and his soul power and physical strength are among the best among all students.
His strong physique is enough to rival that of an ordinary naval captain, like a small hill standing among his peers.
His martial soul is a unique body martial soul - meridians, which greatly enhances his strength, as if he is destined to become a strong man.
"Brother Huo Yuhao!"
The training ground was very lively, and the children were all exercising intensively.
At this moment, Quesanti was the first to notice Huo Yuhao's figure. His three-meter-tall body was particularly eye-catching in the training ground like a small mountain.
His eyes flashed with excitement, as if he had discovered some precious treasure. He immediately jumped towards Huo Yuhao, and the ground under his feet seemed to tremble slightly because of his sprint.
Quesanti's huge body carried powerful kinetic energy, like a wild horse running away, rushing straight towards Huo Yuhao's chest.
If it were an ordinary person, he would have been knocked all over the place, but Huo Yuhao stood there steadily, smiled slightly, opened his arms, and welcomed this little giant.
Quesanti's body hit Huo Yuhao and instantly hugged him tightly. Huo Yuhao's figure looked particularly petite under Quesanti's huge shadow, like a little bird perching under a huge tree.
"Haha, Quesanti is stronger now. He has been eating a lot recently!"
Huo Yuhao laughed and teased, his tone full of warmth and kindness.
His voice was like a spring breeze, making Quesanti feel gentle and full of power.
Quesanti smiled silly after hearing this.
After a long while, he slowly reacted and stammered, "Sister Nami often cooks for us."
After saying that, his eyes flashed with admiration and gratitude for Nami, as if she was the brightest star in his heart.
Huo Yuhao nodded slightly.
He had long been accustomed to Quesanti's slow thinking.
"Well, remember to work hard and upgrade to level 30 as soon as possible. Then I will take you to hunt souls in person."
Huo Yuhao's voice was encouraging, and his eyes flashed with anticipation.
"Okay, Brother Huo Yuhao!"
Quisanti responded loudly, his voice like a clear bell, loud and full of vigor.
After saying that, he ran back to the training ground like a gust of wind and continued to devote himself to the intense training.
On the training field at this time, all the children were working hard, and the heated atmosphere was burning like a flame under the scorching sun. he
Their faces are filled with firm belief, and their eyes are shining with desire for the future.
No child chooses to be lazy. Their experiences are more tortuous than those of ordinary children. Their souls become tougher through hardships, and they long for the nourishment of strength.
Huo Yuhao stood aside, looking at these children with gentle eyes, and a warm current surged in his heart.
Both Nine Snake Island and Fishman Island can only be regarded as allies.
Even Shrek's students each have their own identities, and he can't completely mobilize them if he wants.
Only these children are his absolute loyalists.
Saved from darkness by Huo Yuhao and given the opportunity to learn, these children now regard Huo Yuhao as almost everything.
Given time, these children will definitely become a formidable force when they grow up.
"Come on, kids!"
Huo Yuhao whispered to himself, he was also looking forward to that day.
As time goes by, the atmosphere on the training ground becomes more and more tense, and the children's movements become more and more coordinated. Their tacit cooperation significantly improves their training results.
And Quisanti also showed extraordinary potential in training. Every punch he threw was with strong power, as if he was going to smash all obstacles.
Huo Yuhao walked through the training ground. The sun shone through the leaves on the ground, and the mottled light and shadow danced under his feet.
There was a fresh breath in the air, accompanied by the laughter of the students in the distance, which seemed to add a bit of vitality to his upcoming reunion.
He was in a happy mood, with a faint smile on his face, and walked towards the familiar building.
This building is where Huo Yuhao specially seconded a teacher from Shrek Academy to serve as the principal.
"Teacher Hibiscus, long time no see."
He pushed open the door of the office and saw Hibiscus sitting at the desk, looking at the paper in his hand intently, as if thinking about something.
The sunlight shone on her body through the window, outlining her gentle face, as if time had frozen at this moment.
Hibiscus raised her head, her eyes flashing with surprise and warmth, and the corners of her mouth raised slightly.
"Hey, which busy person is back?"
"I thought you were too busy to have time and had to wait until these children graduated before coming back."
Huo Yuhao's smile became brighter and his heart felt warm.
He knew that Teacher Hibiscus had always cared about him. Although she always acted calmly, in his heart, her gentleness and thoughtfulness were as comforting as the spring breeze.
At this moment, Huo Yuhao's eyes were attracted by the middle-aged man standing next to him.
This person is a very prestigious teacher in the academy. He is tall and has a serious face. He always seems to have an inviolable aura.
"Haha, Teacher Gong Qinhu, did I come by accident and disturb your chat?"
Huo Yuhao joked, feeling secretly proud in his heart.
He knew that Gong Qinhu usually had deep feelings for Hibiscus, but neither of them wanted to express it openly.
Sure enough, Gong Qinhu's face instantly turned rosy, like a ignited flame, looking both embarrassed and flustered.
He coughed slightly, trying to hide his inner fluctuations, but the blush betrayed him.
"You kid, what are you talking about?"
Hibiscus scolded softly, with a hint of helplessness in her tone, but there was a hint of smile in her eyes.
She had long been accustomed to Huo Yuhao's teasing, but she was unconsciously touched by his words, and her heart trembled slightly.
When Huo Yuhao saw this, his heart moved, and he decided not to tease him anymore, but said seriously: "Teacher Mu Jin, I really think Teacher Gong Qinhu is a good person, do you really not want to consider it?"
There was sincerity in his words, and he looked directly at Hibiscus, as if expecting her response.
As soon as he finished speaking, a piece of chalk suddenly flew out of Mu Jin's hand and hit Huo Yuhao's forehead accurately.
Huo Yuhao covered his forehead with an innocent expression on his face.
"What's going on?"
"You bastard, Dean Qian is right, I shouldn't give you such a good look!"
Hibiscus said angrily, but she couldn't hide the smile on her face.
Although she was a little angry in her heart, she was more doting on Huo Yuhao.
She was extremely satisfied with Huo Yuhao as a student.
The only drawback is that the character is too out-of-touch!
Thinking like this, she suddenly thought of Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, Ma Xiaotao, Nami and the others.
Well, being too fussy is also a drawback! ! !
When Huo Yuhao saw this, a warm current surged in his heart. He knew that Teacher Mujin was not angry, but was used to such teasing.
He stopped joking and got down to business seriously.
"Teacher Hibiscus, how is the recent training in the academy?"
Hibiscus's face gradually became serious, and her eyes shone with thought.
She was sitting in the office, looking out through the window. The sunlight was shining on the ground, reflecting mottled light and shadow.
On the training ground outside the office, the students were undergoing intense training, with shouts and the sound of weapons clashing one after another.
"The training intensity has increased recently, and the students' performance is also very good, but I think there are still some shortcomings, especially in teamwork."
Her voice was low and firm, as if she was mentally preparing for the upcoming challenge.
There was a trace of concern in her eyes. As their teacher, she knew that the growth of these children was closely related to their future.
"Also, his actual combat ability is very strong, but he tends to be reckless when facing pirates."
There were mixed emotions in her heart. She was proud of the students' bravery, but also worried about their impulsiveness.
She thought of the experiences of those children. Many of them had lost their loved ones to the pirates' intrusion, and they had hatred for the pirates and a desire for revenge buried in their hearts.
"Every day I clamor to go out and kill pirates."
"If I hadn't suppressed him, there might have been children who secretly went to sea to become pirate hunters!"
She smiled bitterly and shook her head, with a look of helplessness on her face.
Huo Yuhao sat opposite her, nodded, and thought to himself.
He knows that teamwork is crucial in combat, especially when facing powerful enemies.
"Well, we can hold a continent-wide high-level soul master competition similar to that in Douluo Dalu. It just so happens that this competition can also serve as the enrollment brochure for the next academy!"
Huo Yuhao's proposal was like a bolt of lightning, instantly igniting Mu Jin's eyes.
A hint of surprise and expectation flashed in Hibiscus's eyes, as if this proposal gave her a new way of thinking.
Images of the competition began to appear in her mind.
However, Huo Yuhao was startled by Hibiscus's enthusiasm and quickly changed the topic, thinking to himself: "Now is not the time to study that."
He knew that the real purpose of his search for Hibiscus was not finished yet!
"Teacher Hibiscus, now is not the time to talk about this. At least we have to go next year."
There was a hint of helplessness in his voice, wanting to bring the topic back on track.
"I came here to tell you that there may be some chaos on the island recently."
"Teachers need to work harder and patrol more to avoid accidents."
Huo Yuhao's tone became serious, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
Hibiscus was stunned for a moment, her expression suddenly serious.
"Is your plan about to begin?"
"Yes, Teacher Hibiscus."
Seeing Huo Yuhao confirm her inner suspicion, Mu Jin also became serious.
She only knew part of Huo Yuhao's plan. Since Huo Yuhao came to her specifically to talk about it, Hibiscus would naturally take it seriously.
And after more than a year of teaching, she really regarded these children from another world as her own students.
Some feel sorry for what happened to them.
Now that I am the principal, I will naturally be more concerned about their safety. (End of chapter)
