Black Panther looked at Rice Cake and the cats playing on the field, nodded, and felt very good.
Matcha waved as he walked towards Black Panther and punched on his cell phone which said, "Mr Panther, let's proceed to the level below. We trained the students from young to have an international outlook and be multilingual. So we arranged for a foreign tutor for them to converse in a foreign language during the course of teaching."
Black Panther's eyes lit up as he asked, surprised, "Oh? You have a foreign tutor?"
"Yes." Matcha said, "Once the supercats have learned foreign languages, they will be good translators for Zhao Yao. Besides superpowers, we are uncovering the supercats' other potential."
Black Panther nodded with satisfaction as he felt this was fantastic. He followed Matcha to the outside of a classroom and saw Fish Ball, Cannon, and Lightning sitting and staring at the blackboard obediently.
Noodle stood in front of the cats and barked non-stop. Fish Ball and the rest of the cats followed the barking.
Black Panther was astonished and said, "Is he the foreign tutor? A husky?"
Matcha nodded and said, "Yes, the husky was a superdog tutor hired from Alaska. His nationality and race are so uniquely different. He is indeed the best of all foreign tutors."
Black Panther asked hesitantly, "Superdog? What's he teaching?"
"He's teaching dog language." Matcha said, "The structure of a cat allows us to make hundreds of different sounds. Foreign languages are a piece of cake to us."
Black Panther nodded and said, "Awesome."
Seeing Black Panther nod with satisfaction, Matcha felt happy and thought that he was going to make the deal. He brought Black Panther to the canteen.
They saw Midnight struggling to prepare cat meals in the kitchen.
Midnight said, "Zhao Yao's a b*stard to make the three of us help out with the buffet. Now he makes me prepare cat meals while Lang Gou and his buddy help out at the buffet. He is squeezing us dry."
Matcha explained, "Our school is isolated from the outside world and disconnected from the internet 24 hours per day, 7 days a week. The food that the cats eat is selected personally by Zhao Yao and according to American ANC animal feeding standards. This happy cat meal ensures a healthy body, beautiful fur, improved intelligence, and elevated superpower."
Black Panther nodded and Matcha asked, "How's it Mr Panther? Do you want to sign up today? Let me check the sign up list…"
Matcha pretended to look at his cell phone, "Woah! There's only a single spot left!"
He looked anxiously at Black Panther and typed furiously on his cell phone that said, "Mr Panther, I am not bragging but you have witnessed the amazing facilities, curriculum, and tutors which makes us the Stanford of cat education and the Ivy League of China. There's only one spot left and it will be extremely popular."
Black Panther frowned and said, "This is a private school. Let's not discuss the standards of the education. Is the graduation certificate recognized outside?"
"You are smart! You had hit the nail on the head," Matcha said. "Please take a look here…"
Matcha brought Black Panther to a large wall with a gigantic name register. Zhao Yao, the Headless Horseman, appeared at the top of the list.
"All the cat scholars who graduated from our college Y will become the disciples of the Headless Horseman. I don't have to remind you of the Headless Horseman's fame in Jianghai, do I?"
Matcha meowed excitedly, "A disciple of the Headless Horseman can do what he wants in Jianghai.
When you buy cat beans and don't pay, nobody'll dare to say a word. What we want is a domineering and confident attitude. Don't you agree that this certificate is invaluable?
I work here every day. I would like to stay here, study and pave way for my future."
"Hmm…" Black Panther was tempted and scratched his head in embarrassment. He hesitated and said, "The 10,000 dollars in fees… could they be cheaper?"
Matcha frowned with scorn and his ears drooped as he said, "Sorry, our college is the Ivy League of China. The stated fee is already the lowest. If you find it expensive, go through the entrance, turn left and walk for 500 meters. There is a pet shop that provides foster care for 20 dollars a day. You can get a graduation certificate too."
Black Panther gritted his teeth and hesitated.
Matcha furrowed his brows and cleared his throat loudly. An orange cat scurried from a distance and knocked into Matcha's stomach.
Matcha introduced Milk Tea to Black Panther, "This is one of our graduates, Milk Tea. Do you feel a difference in our graduated supercat?"
Black Panther looked at Milk Tea, who widened his eyes, rubbed against Black Panther, sat down obediently beside him and hugged his leg happily.
Black Panther was shocked and thought, "This cat is very obedient!"
Milk Tea climbed up Black Panther's pants to his shoulders and pressed his paw on Black Panther's shoulders.
Matcha was at the side, using his cell phone to translate, "He said you looked tired, so he is helping you massage your shoulders."
Black Panther was moved as he recalled his cat, who would only ask for money. Milk Tea had only met him the first time and massaged his shoulders so Black Panther could not resist caressing Milk Tea's head. "You are so obedient."
Seeing Milk Tea rub his palm, Black Panther ground his teeth, stamped his feet, and said, "Okay, reserve one slot for me."
Matcha was exhilarated. At a nearby corner, Fish Ball, Elizabeth, Lightning, Rice Cake… popped their heads out to spy on Matcha and Black Panther.
Elizabeth said, "When Matcha is swindling people, his intelligence is extremely high."
Fish Ball spat out his tongue and said, "He's followed Zhao Yao since he was young. He must have learned it from Zhao Yao."
Rice Cake showed her tired face and said, "Finally, we have an official student. Do we still have to carry on acting?"
Zhao Yao nodded when he saw the done deal. Looking at Matcha approach him, he said, "Not bad Matcha, you have grown up during this period."
"Of course, I am no longer the silly cat who resorts to violence." Matcha puffed up his chest and looked at Zhao Yao as he said, "Don't worry Zhao Yao, this is only the beginning! There will be more and more students in college Y. I have planned a new batch of advertisements, however, the expenses…"
"You shall report the expenses to me. As long as it is reasonable, I will support you. Matcha, do your best." Zhao Yao looked at Matcha leave excitedly and pinched his brow chakra as he thought, "Matcha preferred swindling to fighting… he loves making money and entrepreneurship. Perhaps he is more suited to business than fighting."
"Did you mention swindling just now?" Sheriff curled up in Zhao Yao's clothing and thought, "Hmm… how many innocent cats are going to be swindled this time?"
