Chapter 2145: Handling the Teaching
Zhao Hai has never handled children before. The only child he came in contact with was only Qiu Tie. However, Qiu Tie was already very sensible for his age. This time, he was faced with a group of children that weren’t as behaved as Qiu Tie. Therefore, it wouldn’t be easy for Zhao Hai to deal with them.
Fortunately, Zhao Hai had a lot of interesting things in his hand. He had food, toys, and anything else that a child would love.
The children were also aware that Zhao Hai was their teacher. People in the Long Clan held great respect to their teachers, especially the children. Ever since they were young, the children of the Long Clan were taught not to be arrogant. This made it convenient for Zhao Hai to coax the children.
To teach a student, one must first understand their strength. Because of this, Zhao Hai didn’t teach them immediately. He had the children practice their boxing skills first. If they learned weapons, they would show their weapon movements first. Then he asked the children about their spiritual roots.
There were 30 children assigned to Zhao Hai. This number was neither large nor small. One by one, Zhao Hai learned of the children’s martial arts. He would make a record of their progress, so each child had their own jade slip. Inside the jade slip were basic information about each kid.
This was a method that Zhao Hai learned from Earth. Even if it was a serious illness or a small fault, everything would be recorded.
Zhao Hai didn’t keep these jade slips on himself. He gave the jade slip to the children and told them to hand it over to their parents every time they went home. n0ve1B1n
Zhao Hai did this to inform the guardians of the children about their progress. After all of these things were dealt with, the morning passed.
The children would only attend classes with Zhao Hai in the morning. They would return to their homes in the afternoon. Some would practice martial arts while some would go out and play.
The Long Clan wouldn’t force their children to practice martial arts. They would also give their children time to play. After all, playing was helpful in maintaining a child’s healthy growth. This would benefit their practice later on. This was something the Long Clan found out after many years of observation. This was information that only a great clan like the Long Clan could have. Even the Tyrant Blade Sect didn’t know this.
There were many people in the Long Clan who didn’t understand why the clan suddenly arranged a teacher they didn’t know anything about to their children. Many parents were suspicious of Zhao Hai.
The Long Clan attached great importance to their children. If Zhao Hai’s teachings weren’t good, the parents would be angry with Zhao Hai. After all, Zhao Hai was an outsider while they were in Coiling Dragon City, the Long Clan’s land.
However, when the parents brought their children home and saw the jade slips sent by Zhao Hai, they no longer said anything. They could see Zhao Hai’s intentions from the jade slip. This caused Zhao Hai to gain a bit of recognition from the parents. What Zhao Hai didn’t expect was this matter reaching Long Tian, who in turn told it to Long Zhan. The Clan Head immediately ordered that all of the underage members of the Long Clan be provided with a jade slip that records the progress of their practice.
Zhao Hai didn’t put this matter in his mind. He was currently communicating with Laura and the others to come up with the most suitable learning program for the children.
Zhao Hai knew that if he wanted to enter the Long Clan, then he would need to provide value. The clan needs to see him as an important member. Therefore, they needed to see what he was doing, and that he was doing it well.
Zhao Hai had a feeling that the Long Clan wasn’t simple. Perhaps the Yin Yang Elders might now of the clan’s matters, but it was impossible for them to know too much. This was because big clans like the Long Clan rarely showed their true strength. If people know their bottom line, then they would suffer and decline.
After the children returned, their parents immediately examined their jade slips. There were a lot more content inside the jade slip. The information included the amount of training done as well as the results. There were also suggestions for parents as to what to do next and also what food to give their child.
When the parents saw the content of the jade slip, they were shocked. They haven’t seen instructions this detailed. They immediately analyzed the contents of the other children’s jade slip and found that the contents were different. The suggestions were also different.
The parents could no longer stay calm. They didn’t look for Zhao Hai but instead looked for Long Tian. Regarding education, Long Tian had the most authority in the Long Clan.
After Long Tian saw the contents of the jade slip, he couldn’t help but be excited. He hasn’t seen a teaching method like this before. He immediately called a couple of Zhao Hai’s students and conducted a test. Naturally, he didn’t make the children perform their fist techniques. Instead, he scanned them with his own spiritual qi to examine their progress. The results caused Long Tian to be startled. He discovered that Zhao Hai’s suggestions were the best path for the children. He was greatly surprised. He immediately went to Zhao Hai’s courtyard.
Zhao Hai didn’t know that his methods caused a huge upheaval to Long Tian. He didn’t dare use liquid silver dust in Coiling Dragon City. There were hidden monsters in the city and countless Earth Monarchs going about. If he released liquid silver dust, he would immediately be discovered. So Zhao Hai would rather be uninformed and focus on his job as a teacher.
As Zhao Hai was cleaning the machines, the front gate of his courtyard was shoved open and Long Tian entered. When he saw the courtyard, Long Tian couldn’t help but stare. This was because he saw machines that he hadn’t seen before. Long Tian was confused with the sight in front of him.
Zhao Hai looked at Long Tian and said, “Old Master, you’re here? Are you worried for the kids?”
Long Tian heard Zhao Hai and couldn’t help but look at him. Then he waved towards the machines and said, “Little Hai, where did these machines come from? Are they useful?”
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, “These machines come from the lower realms. They were used for training. Back in the lower realms, I stayed in a technology plane that used such machines.” Then Zhao Hai proceeded to explain the usefulness of these machines to Long Tian.
Long Tian listened to Zhao Hai’s explanation in earnest. After hearing Zhao Hai, Long Tian sighed and said, “I underestimated the wisdom of the lower realms. Although their density of spiritual qi is lower, their wisdom wasn’t any lower than ours. These machines might be useless to us, but they’re useful for the children.”
Zhao Hai nodded, then he invited Long Tian, “Old Master, please come in. Let’s share a few cups.” Long Tian didn’t decline and followed Zhao Hai inside.
After entering the room, Long Tian noticed that there was a computer on Zhao Hai’s desk. He had never seen a computer before, but he could still read the contents on the screen. He walked over and found that the computer was full of educational programs tailored for each child. Each step of training was written in great detail.
After a while, Long Tian stood up and then looked at Zhao Hai. His gaze contained a trace of emotion. Then he said, “Little Hai, I want to thank you. You did a good job. Your method is worth promoting to the Long Clan.”
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, “The children are very lovable. I’m glad I can use my ability to teach them.”
Long Tian nodded, then he said, “Why haven’t you gone to the clan’s repository? Are you not interested in the martial arts of the Long Clan?”
Zhao Hai shook his head and said, “Of course I’m interested. But I’m not in a hurry to read the clan’s manuals. I’ll focus on teaching the children first. I’ll go browse the clan’s manuals when I have time.”
Long Tian nodded, “Rest assured, the Long Clan won’t treat you unjustly. I will make them open the higher levels for you. This is something you deserve.”
Zhao Hai only smiled and didn’t say anything.
