Monster Pet Evolution Chapter 323 - Principal Gao's Lecture

Understanding Monsters was an uncommon cla.s.s. It was rare to find such a cla.s.s, even in the entire Huaxia Region.

The main reason was that such a cla.s.s required a lot of human resources, as well as financial capital.

The bodies of dead monsters were still relatively easy to get. However, it was hard to acquire a variety of monsters that were still alive. Only the best public universities were able to offer such cla.s.ses.

A private high school offering such a cla.s.s would be considered a luxury.

In a s.p.a.cious field, there were iron cages that were covered with black cloths. The angry growls of monsters were coming out from some of the iron cages.

Three cla.s.ses were taking the cla.s.s together, as Understanding Monsters was a major subject. Many of the students were sitting on their benches quietly, waiting for the teacher to arrive.

A middle-aged man wearing spectacles, a blue down jacket, and black trousers walked over from the field. He was carrying a thermos cup in his hands.

When he saw Gao Peng, he waved his hands and smiled. “Cla.s.s has already started, student. Please go and take a seat.”

“…”

The security guards who were walking with the middle-aged man recognized Gao Peng and immediately shouted out, “Greetings Princ.i.p.al Gao!”

The middle-aged man was a foreign teacher. He had heard of Gao Peng, but he had never seen him personally. When he heard the guards calling Gao Peng “princ.i.p.al,” he pushed up his gla.s.ses and took another look at him. This princ.i.p.al is way too young!

He thought that Gao Peng was a senior.

The middle-aged teacher smiled awkwardly. “Sorry, Princ.i.p.al Gao. I didn’t recognize you just now.”

“It’s fine. It’s normal to misunderstand. I know I look young.” Gao Peng laughed.

The middle-aged teacher nodded and prepared to begin the cla.s.s. Gao Peng suddenly had an idea. “How about I take over for this period of the cla.s.s?”

The middle-aged teacher was taken aback. He thought that maybe he might’ve offended the princ.i.p.al just now. The reason he had come here as a teacher was because his wife had just given birth to a pair of fraternal twins. He had left his job at a university to come here. At that moment, he couldn’t help but feel anxious. If he lost this job, too…

“I’m not such a petty person that I would do that. It’s just because these students remind me of my own time in school, and I suddenly feel inspired. Don’t worry. After this lesson, you’ll still be teaching them,” Gao Peng comforted the teacher.

The teacher let out a sigh of relief. “Okay. In that case, I’ll head back first.”

Gao Peng went on stage and clapped his hands, gaining the attention of the children.

Li Junzong recognized Gao Peng. Isn’t this Teacher w.a.n.g’s cla.s.s?

“Teacher w.a.n.g has some business to attend to at home. I’ll be subst.i.tuting for him today.”

The students started to discuss among themselves. Some of them had forgotten what Gao Peng looked like, while others recognized him. After a while, all of them knew that the person who was standing on stage was Princ.i.p.al Gao.

All of the students were grateful for what Gao Peng had done for them, so they all respected him.

“This is the first time I’m teaching Understanding Monsters. Please forgive me if my lecture is lacking in any way.”

The students were very accommodating and gave him a big round of applause.

Gao Peng nodded happily and smiled kindly. He took the black cloth off the farthest iron cage on the left. The sudden light from the sun shocked the white Red Spiked Claw Boar inside the cage. It bent its hooves and knelt on the floor, making all sorts of whining noises.

“Students, what do we have here?” Gao Peng pointed towards the monster inside the cage and said, “We’ve discovered a gentle Red Spiked Claw Boar. It’s even one of the rare white species.”

As he spoke, he opened the cage.

The students immediately screamed. Those sitting in the first row even got up and ran to the back. Li Junzong, who was sitting in the first row, also wanted to get up and run, but his trust in Gao Peng convinced him to suppress his fear and stay put.

The guards nearby were so terrified that they almost went crazy. Princ.i.p.al Gao’s familiars weren’t there. They couldn’t let anything happen to Princ.i.p.al Gao, otherwise, it would be disastrous!

The guards’ familiars roared and rushed to the stage.

The previously tame Red Spiked Claw Boar suddenly extended the sharp spikes on its body when it became startled by the familiars’ roars. Its spikes p.r.i.c.ked up as it rushed towards Gao Peng like a giant hedgehog.

“Remember students, a Red Spiked Claw Boar will extend its steel spikes when startled, just like a hedgehog.” Gao Peng extended his hands and used two fingers to grab the boar’s nostrils, then lifted up forcefully.

“Ahh!” The Red Spiked Claw Boar squealed pitifully. Its legs softened as it fell down where Gao Peng pushed it.

“The nostrils are its weakness. Everyone should pay attention to this. As long as its nostrils can be attacked, aim and hit them directly.” Gao Peng turned his head around as he spoke.

The guards’ familiars had just made it onstage. Gao Peng looked at them and shouted, “Get down!”

The familiars all went down the stage obediently.

“Mother of G.o.d!” The guards were in disbelief. The Red Spiked Claw Boar was an Elite-tier monster. It was very strong and stout, so the force generated from its tackle would be more than a few tons. However, Princ.i.p.al Gao had been able to deal with it using one hand, like an adult bullying a child.

Stunned, the group of students looked at the slender figure on the stage as if they were watching a myth.

The “iron law” that humans weren’t able to fight against monsters and win was something that everyone knew.

Of course, Lord-tier monster trainers could depend on the strength that they gained from the Feedback from their familiars to subdue Normal-tier monsters. However, these were exceptions and certainly weren’t common. Most Lord-tier monster trainers wouldn’t go around showing off that they were able to defeat a Normal-tier monster with their own hands…

“Has… has Princ.i.p.al Gao been swapped with a monster?” a student said, frightened.

Once that sentence was uttered, there was a commotion among the students!

Clang! Gao Peng knocked on the iron cage. The iron cage railing was dented by his punch. “I’m a human, not a monster! Pay attention to the lesson and go back to your seats!” Gao Peng pointed to a female student as he said, “You, girl, let go of that boy. You’re suffocating him.”

The girl blushed and let go of the boy, then quickly went back to her seat.

“Okay. We’ll continue with our lesson.” Gao Peng became calm again. He used his left hand to pull a spike out of the Red Spiked Claw Boar forcefully.

“Ow, ow, ow, ow—” the Red Spiked Claw Boar let out a mournful cry.

Some students couldn’t bear to watch. This was the first time they were seeing a monster in such a pitiful state. The whole scene felt very surreal.

“The Red Spiked Claw Boar’s weaknesses are here, here, and here…” The room was filled with echoes of the boar on the ground that kept crying out in pain.

After 20 minutes, Gao Peng returned the worn out Red Spiked Claw Boar to the iron cage. He then covered the cage with the black cloth and lifted the black cloth of the iron cage next to it. In the corner of the cage, a Blue-tailed Double-headed Wolf was trembling…

The cla.s.s ended after two hours with Gao Peng feeling extremely satisfied.

Gao Peng ate dinner at the school canteen. He felt that the school’s cook wasn’t as good as Grandpa, so he left the school with a tinge of regret.

After that day, all sorts of rumors about Princ.i.p.al Gao circulated throughout the school. Some said that he was a G.o.d, others said he was a human-shaped familiar, and some even said he was a human and familiar hybrid.
