Chapter 119: Fund Fraud
Shrek Academy.
It is called a college, but in fact it is just a few thatched houses surrounding a large area.
Even the land was borrowed from the neighboring village.
There was a table at the entrance of the village, and an old man in his sixties was sitting behind the table.
Above his head was a wooden archway with a tattered-looking plaque hanging on it. Inscribed on it were five simple words: Shrek Academy!
A lot of people gathered at this time, most of them were young people, surrounded by their parents.
There were more than a hundred people queuing up, and at the back of the line, a pair of blue and pink figures just ran over.
"Brother, has the master made a mistake? No matter how I look at it, I don't think this looks like an academy. Could it be a scam?" Xiao Wu frowned slightly and asked in confusion.
Tang San smiled bitterly and said: "You're already here, let's take a look and then talk."
That’s right, now is the time when Shrek Academy is opening for enrollment. Tang San and Xiao Wu came from Notting City, and were instructed by their master Yu Xiaogang to join the academy.
Xiao Wu looked around and suddenly found many men wearing hoods and strange clothes.
"Hehe, look, brother, there are a lot of people here who are dressed as Master Latio! There are three, four, five... seven in total!" Xiao Wu said, pointing at the men with masked heads.
Tang San chuckled and nodded, but a hint of disapproval flashed in his eyes.
He didn't like Master Latio, even though the theories he published were epoch-making.
But the other party actually wanted humans and soul beasts to coexist peacefully, which seemed unbelievable to him.
Now he doesn’t know that Xiao Wu is a soul beast, so he still follows the old idea, that is, humans and demons are different, they are not of our race, so their hearts must be different!
What's more, Latio stole the title of his teacher, so it was naturally difficult for him to like him.
However, he had no choice but to do something even though he didn't like it. Master Latio's name had long been spread throughout the Douluo Continent, and even sparked a wave of imitation.
Especially in the Soul Master Academy, many people dress up as Master Latio, wearing blue clothes and plaster head sculptures.
There is even a rumor that the Soul Master Academy must have an actor to play the role of Master Latio, so that the light of wisdom can be spread and it would be a good omen.
The actors who play Master Latio are also very keen on promoting this custom.
As soon as a soul master academy recruits students, they will take the initiative to go there.
For example, now...
Tang San thought for a moment, and said solemnly: "Xiao Wu, although many people now say that Master Latio is the real master, we must not forget that there is actually only one master... and that is my teacher."
Xiao Wu didn't hear it, and pointed at the actor who played Master Latio in the distance and said with a smile:
"Brother, look at that one, he looks the most handsome, the muscles and temperament are so similar! There are so many people around him who are secretly looking at him! Wow! Someone passed by and looked pretty..."
Xiao Wu said in surprise.
Tang San also looked over, and the moment he saw the "actor", his heart suddenly tightened.
An inexplicable feeling emerged.
The "actor" was walking towards him from outside the village with steady and quick steps. He did not pose like the others, but his natural walk gave people a unique temperament.
As soon as he approached, he attracted everyone's attention.
A girl in a green dress was the first to run to his side.
"You...you are...?"
Ning Rongrong looked at the "actor" in front of her. With her natural perception, she could guess that the person in front of her was either rich or noble, and was definitely not a simple person. So how could he be an actor?
Unless, he wasn't acting at all!
Ning Rongrong was still unsure and looked the "actor" up and down with her big eyes.
Although his face was covered by a hood, his muscular body, like a work of art, would make women drool just by looking at it.
Latio looked at Ning Rongrong in front of him. That's right, he was not a "player" at all, he was the real person.
I just happened to come here to see whether Shrek Academy, which received funds from the charity foundation, can complete the contract as stipulated.
I didn’t expect that there are so many “actors” of myself now, so I don’t have to disguise my identity.
Latio shook his head at Ning Rongrong and continued to walk towards the village entrance.
Ning Rongrong followed behind and saw that the other party didn't care about her appearance at all, which made her guess even more certain.
"You, you are the real Saint Master of Latio, right? Just tell me one thing, and I promise not to tell anyone else..." Ning Rongrong followed closely and asked in a low voice.
Latio ignored him and came to the side.
Looking at this simple Shrek Academy, from the current perspective, it is necessary to apply for funding!
And since it is a soul master academy, the application amount should be at least five thousand gold soul coins.
After all, soul masters have far more learning resources than mere scholars.
Ning Rongrong pouted slightly when she saw that Latio ignored her.
She is the little princess of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, and both of her two Titled Douluo obey her in everything.
But Latio completely ignored him, which made him feel uncomfortable.
"Answer me? I..."
At this time, two figures came from behind and passed by Latio and Ning Rongrong.
They were Flanders and Shao Xin. When they arrived at the registration office, the old man in charge of registration immediately stood up.
"Dean, has the funding application been approved?"
Flanders nodded and said, "That's right! The company is really generous. When they heard that we are a high-level soul master academy, they gave us 10,000 gold soul coins directly! This time, we are going to be rich!"
“Hahaha, that’s great! We can renovate the academy now.” Li Yusong said with a smile.
Flanders shook his head and chuckled, "What are you talking about? We only have a few students in our academy, why should we train them? Besides, the conditions are tough, so as to temper their will."
"..."
Li Yusong's mouth twitched. Well, he still underestimated the stinginess of his dean.
"So the admission standards will not be relaxed this year?" Li Yusong asked.
Flanders said as a matter of course: "Of course! We at Shrek Academy only recruit monsters. What's the point of bringing in some idiots? It would be irresponsible for them to stay."
"..."
Li Yusong nodded.
At this time, a voice sounded.
"What are your admission requirements?"
Li Yusong and Flanders looked over and saw that it was Latio who spoke.
When Flanders saw Latio, he was shocked. He had just taken the other person's money and had to follow the contract. Now he was caught on the spot. Even he couldn't stand it.
Flanders patted Li Yusong on the shoulder and said, "I'll leave it to you."
Flanders and Shao Xin hurried back to the academy.
Li Yusong explained:
"The Shrek Academy only accepts children under the age of thirteen! And their spirit power must be above level twenty! If you can't meet both requirements at the same time, then leave as soon as possible!"
