With a sense of admiration, Reiner spoke of Xu Lie's achievements, leaving all the students with a genuine impression of the principal for the first time. No longer was he just a lofty figure wielding authority; he was a benefactor who created truth, enabling ordinary people like them to become magicians.
In no time, the classroom was filled with praises for Xu Lie. Coincidentally, other classrooms experienced similar reactions, as teachers had secretly agreed that every generation of students should remember Xu Lie's contributions and accomplishments.
Seeing the enthusiastic response from the students, Reiner gained confidence in his teaching and elaborated on the Meditation Method, striving to explain it thoroughly. He encouraged any questions, inviting students to raise their hands if they were confused.
This scene made the onlookers feel a chill down their spines.
"Raising hands to ask questions reminds me of high school classes."
"Stop it! It's hard enough to get a break on Sundays and go home to binge-watch a show, only to experience this deadly classroom atmosphere. Someone save the kids!"
"Haha, you'll understand after graduation; you'll miss it. Watching Reiner teach reminds me of our Ban Ren, who was a great teacher."
The audience continued to send Danmaku messages while Reiner devoted himself to teaching. After addressing the students' questions, he instructed them to drink tea and meditate.
The leaves of the Starry Tea Tree, combined with ice for processing, made a tea beneficial for magicians' research. When slightly diluted, it also aided in meditation. The Meditation Method posed no danger; one could simply close their eyes without caution.
To further motivate the students, Reiner utilized resources brought back by Xu Lie: "Now let's begin meditating. Our principal, Xu Liexian, has set up various rewards to inspire everyone’s enthusiasm for self-study."
Students who performed well would be eligible for scholarships at the end of the semester. Additionally, during important classes, those who completed their tasks first would receive rewards.
"The importance of the Meditation Method needs no repetition," he announced. "I declare that the top fifty students in our class who successfully meditate and gather magical power will receive a reward of three thousand Gold Coins."
These were coins from your kingdom—whether from Jinri Kingdom or Silvermoon Kingdom—three thousand in total! The students' eyes lit up with greed; they were practically salivating at the thought of such rewards.
Three thousand gold coins! Even students from noble backgrounds couldn't ignore this temptation; their daily allowances were nowhere near that amount! Let alone those from commoner backgrounds—this was an amount they had never seen in their lives!
The excitement in the air was palpable as students realized that if they could successfully meditate and rank within the top fifty in their class, they would be rewarded. Who could remain indifferent to such an enticing prospect?
The quick-thinking students immediately closed their eyes, centering themselves and blocking out distractions, fully committing to their meditation. Meanwhile, the slower ones were still raising their hands, asking, "Is this for real, Teacher Reiner?"
Only after receiving a reassuring nod from Reiner did they hurriedly begin their meditation.
As Reiner patrolled the classroom, he approached any student who opened their eyes, gently inquiring and offering guidance. This shifted the atmosphere from one of avoidance or nostalgia among the onlookers to a united front of determination.
"Is this really such a great benefit? Just making it into the top fifty could earn you three thousand? If only I had this kind of incentive back in high school, I might have pushed myself to study harder."
"Ah, the envy is real! Why don’t we have such perks? If we did, I’d definitely make it—I mean, our class only has about forty people."
"I don’t miss school at all. It’s just infuriating to think about it. The school next door has had air conditioning for ages, while our school waits until we graduate to install it. Just thinking about it makes me so mad!"
