Chapter 267: Chapter 266: Special Internship (Part 2)

Sophomores and juniors’ field internship program had been changed?

That was the first thought that came to mind for the Ten Masters of Far Moon after they had skimmed through the document.

"No!"

The second-ranked Kobayakawa Ryodan had even stopped snacking, put the bag aside, and pointed at the annotation on the last page, saying, "This is an elective ’field internship’ course, and it does not conflict with the annual internship program!"

"The scope, limited to sophomores and juniors."

"The Ten Masters can apply too!"

Upon reading this, Kobayakawa Ryodan’s eyes lit up. With a slap on the conference table, he said, "Sign me up! I want to enroll in Instructor Xia’s ’field internship’!"

Cough cough!

Si Yingshi timidly reminded, "Kobayakawa, we of the ’Ten Elite Council’ still have to vote on this document."

That’s the way it worked.

The documents transmitted from the General’s office, after verification by the ’Ten Elite Council’, would finally be implemented in the Far Moon Campus. The Ten Masters of Far Moon were respected and held high positions because they possessed real power. Without this power, there wouldn’t have been the absurd plot of the Ten Masters impeaching the General, leading to Tiqie Xianzuowen stepping down.

"Let’s vote then—"

Tiqie Helinai tossed the document aside, leaned back in her chair, her pale palms crossed, and from her slightly upturned lips and the smile in her beautiful eyes, it was clear she was very much in favor of the proposal in the document, her mood could be described as exhilarated.

Starting with her, the tenth-ranked, to the second-ranked Kobayakawa Ryodan, the nine Ten Masters all fixed their eyes on the leading Si Yingshi.

"All right, all right, vote. Those who agree with this document proposal, please raise your hand; those who disagree, remain silent!" Si Yingshi said.

"Hmph!"

Before the words were fully out, the ninth-ranked ’Alchemist’ Rui Shan Zhi Jin Ye coldly huffed, "This document is too absurd. Is the General getting too old, otherwise why would he draft such a ridiculous new course?"

"To launch a new ’field internship’ course is fine, but Instructor Xia’s restaurant is not suitable; it’s just a small Chinese restaurant, not every student can work there!"

"Therefore, I oppose this proposal!" Rui Shan slowly said.

"Rui Shan, you are right, the course should not be conducted in a small Chinese restaurant."

Someone chimed in, unexpectedly it was a blond young man.

This was Kogama Shoji, the eighth seat.

Just as Rui Shan thought Kogama Shoji was agreeing with him, to his surprise, Kogama Shoji turned his speech around, "But, Instructor Xia’s cooking skills can certainly make up for the lack of environment. I hope Instructor Xia can expand and refactor his restaurant so, if we go there for internships, we can also work more effectively."

The fifth seat, Saito Sohmei, a silent, earring-wearing young man carrying a large sword, turned out to be the second to raise his hand in agreement.

"I really want to learn the knife skills from Instructor Xia!" he said.

Seeing this, Kobayakawa Ryodan and Tiqie Helinai, not to be outdone, simultaneously raised their hands, "Agreed!"

Already four Ten Masters had agreed, just one more vote was needed for the document to pass through.

And so Ichise Hui, smiling, raised her hand, ending the suspense.

"So, let’s publish the document on Monday. Within three days, compile a list of applicants and hand it over to Instructor Xia to assist him in selecting personnel and arranging internships..." Si Yingshi furrowed his brow in frustration, scanning the other Ten Masters present, "Who will be responsible for this task?"

"Leave it to me!"

"I’ll do it!"

"It should be me!"

Ichise Hui, Kobayakawa Ryodan, and Tiqie Helinai each expressed a strong desire in succession.

Uh?

Si Yingshi was slightly taken aback.

Previously, when he, the chief, assigned work, no one had been this eager. It was always, "Instructor Xia, Instructor Xia, Instructor Xia." Si Yingshi mused to himself that he had already understood his own "heart of cooking," and therefore he was not as eager as the other Ten Masters regarding the resources Xia Yu controlled.

"Whom should I hand this over to?"

Si Yingshi felt troubled again.

He looked toward Tiqie Helinai, knowing that the other Ten Masters were aware of this young lady’s close relationship with Instructor Xia. Perhaps it would be best to hand it over to her.

As he thought this, he noticed Kobayakawa Ryodan, seated next to him, the second seat, constantly giving him meaningful glances, even slightly parting his lips to reveal his unusually sharp canine teeth, his golden eyes clearly displaying a threatening aura.

Si Yingshi, naturally possessing a timid personality as the first seat, instantly cowered.

"Then, then let Kobayakawa handle this matter!"

Having said that, Si Yingshi also sighed in relief.

"Yay!"

Kobayakawa Ryodan happily tossed a few beans into his mouth, crunching them loudly.

Ichise Hui and Tiqie Helinai exchanged helpless looks.

Why was Senior Sister Kobayakawa so enthusiastic about this matter?

...

The weekend passed in the blink of an eye.

On Monday, when the document approved by the "Ten Elite Council" was posted on the school’s bulletin board and announced on the official website, it caused an uproar throughout Far Moon School on the same day.

The majority supported it, and the voices of opposition were drowned out by the tumultuous wave of discussions.

Unbeknownst to him, Xia Yu had already become one of the most popular instructors at Far Moon School, backed by a large group of Far Moon’s fangirls and fans. The video of him sculpting an Ice Dragon during a practical class session, when uploaded to the school’s forum by a student, had astonishingly gathered over 40,000 views over just the weekend.

Considering the entire student and faculty population of Far Moon School was no more than three thousand, these 40,000 views were quite suspicious.

On this Monday, while Xia Yu was teaching at White Seagull High School, his phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated.

He took out his phone to check.

In the overflowing inbox with over 999+ private messages on Twitter, there was yet another message.

Xia Yu didn’t have time to check each message individually; he opened a few of the latest ones, preparing to put his phone away.

"Huh..."

His finger paused slightly as he noticed the verification badge of the sender. It turned out to be Far Moon’s official Twitter account messaging him privately. The content was as follows:

"Instructor Xia, sorry to disturb you. I’m a member of the Far Moon publicity department. I currently have the practical session videos of your subject exchange in my hands. The exchange meeting with Orlando has now concluded. The 10 practical session videos will all be edited by me, organized, and released to the public via the Twitter platform."

"Can you authorize this?"

This was the key point.

Without authorization, publicly sharing a renowned chef’s cooking video could lead to trouble, and the IGO organization would have to get involved.

Thinking the official Twitter had contacted him for something significant, Xia Yu shook his head with a smile. This was Far Moon’s publicity, and since the series of videos included him, that naturally meant publicity for him too.

His reputation was currently confined within Far Moon School, but official publicity could surely attract more attention from the general public to Far Moon, and in doing so, he could gain another wave of Fame Points—beneficial in every way.

He quickly replied to the private message.

Xia Yu’s mind wasn’t on the lesson, but drifted back to the shopping district.

"Today, the bathhouse’s renovation is nearly complete. Taking two days to set everything up, the VIP dining area can formally open for customers!" Xia Yu thought secretly to himself, sensing the imminent exploitation of a gold and silver mine right before his eyes.
