Chapter 775 Was Garen not satisfied with him?
?William’s temper has improved significantly over the years.
If this had been eons ago, encountering someone like Zed who starts a fight right off the bat, he would have definitely slapped him dead on the spot.
Now, having lived for so long, he has become more easy-going. Plus, having had a satisfying battle in the Cosmic Entity Guardians’ War, fighting someone at Zed’s level now feels utterly bland.
He was already trying hard to control his own power. If they must fight, what’s the point?
Garen arranged William’s teaching schedule quite swiftly—a class a week, taking up a large lecture hall.
It was one of those elective courses where students could choose to attend if they were interested.
Once the schedule was set, Garen hurried over to see William.
“Mr. Johnson, do you think this arrangement is suitable?” Garen thought of Mr. Johnson as a transcendent sage, for whom teaching was merely a playful endeavor.
For a big shot like him, isn’t one class a week just perfect?
As for the students?
Only those destined would attend, of course!
It would be best if no one attended,if that happened, he’d bring in everyone from the Emerald Lion Guild.
Hehe!
With this setup, Mr. Johnson would surely be pleased!
Garen felt he understood the desires of the powerful well, thinking maybe if Mr. Johnson was pleased, he might teach him another secret sword technique, which would be a huge win.
William took the schedule and glanced at it, his brow furrowing slightly as he slowly lifted his eyelids, “Hmm?”
Just one class a week, and it’s an elective!
Was Garen not satisfied with him?
Any major complaints?
“Hmm?” Garen also hummed subconsciously, but quickly realized something was amiss and hurriedly said with a smile, “Mr. Johnson, are you satisfied?”
William’s frown relaxed slightly and he said, “Since it’s Vice Principal Garen who arranged it, I have no objections.”
“Mr. Johnson, please just call me Garen. I can’t bear such formalities,” Garen said, remembering how terrifying William could be when he took action. In today’s world, who could withstand a strike from William?
“No, no, no! You can bear it. Now I am your subordinate, what can Vice Principal Garen not bear?” William, holding the schedule, asked, “How is my salary calculated?”
“Salary?” Garen was stunned.
Salary?
Does a great being like Mr. Johnson even need a salary?
“You’re not planning to pay me at all?” William’s eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze turning somewhat menacing!
Just one elective class a week and not even mentioning the salary, it seemed Garen was really dissatisfied with him!
William remembered that he had hit him before…
Oh, so he’s taking this opportunity to make things difficult for him on purpose?
Garen felt a chill run down his spine, that terrifying sensation as if a wrong answer could lead to his immediate demise.
“What do you think… how should the salary be given?” Garen’s forehead broke out in cold sweat, feeling like he was brushing a tiger’s teeth. Now, he felt he was in real danger!
William sneered, “Isn’t that something the school administration should consider? I’m only teaching one class a week. Vice Principal Garen, you should decide how much to give, shouldn’t you?”
Garen’s back was soaked with sweat, his Adam’s apple bobbing noisily.
Hearing William’s tone, he felt the danger increasing…
“Then… how about ten thousand energy crystals per class?” Garen said tentatively, watching William’s expression. “One class?”
Nowadays, the school paid salaries with ordinary crystals dropped by mutated creatures.
Energy crystals were generally only available to large guilds.
Ten thousand crystals for one class was already a huge amount.
The Emerald Lion Guild had been gathering resources everywhere these days, and the entire guild had only managed to accumulate over two million energy crystals. Offering ten thousand crystals for one class to William was truly a princely sum.
Although Garen himself felt that the offer might be a bit low, he thought that ten thousand energy crystals per class was still manageable for the Emerald Lion Guild to pay for a while.
If it were any higher, he might not be able to afford it.
“Why would I need energy crystals?” William said, “As far as I know, the school usually pays with Mutated creature crystals. What’s the meaning of giving me energy crystals?”
“And ten thousand crystals for one class, are you trying to squeeze me on purpose?” William continued, “I know I’ve hit you before, but now I’m just here to teach. As the vice principal, doing this is particularly pointless, you know?”
“If you don’t want me to teach, just say it outright. What’s the meaning of this passive-aggressive behavior?”
“One elective class a week, and you’re giving me ten thousand crystals per class, is your Emerald Lion Guild just too rich?”
William was genuinely upset now. He came to teach mainly because he was too idle and looking for something to do, but he couldn’t stand this kind of underhanded treatment.
Garen almost burst into tears. What passive-aggressive behavior?
Where was he being passive-aggressive?
Being passive-aggressive in front of William?
Wasn’t that just asking for trouble?
“Mr. Johnson, please don’t misunderstand, I didn’t mean it like that at all!” Garen explained with a mix of laughter and tears, “I just thought that, given your status, one class a week was already quite generous. As for the salary, ten thousand energy crystals per class, if you think it’s too little, I can add more. Please don’t be angry!”
“Oh?” William glanced at Garen’s expression, who seemed genuinely frightened and sincere, apparently not trying to squeeze him.
“Alright then!” William nodded and said, “I thought you were being sarcastic, implying something negative about me! Since that’s not the case, let’s discuss this further.”
After he finished speaking, Garen felt a great relief throughout his body.
Just a moment ago, it really felt like he was stepping through the gates of hell!
Damn, Mr. Johnson actually thought he was being sarcastic…
Holy crap, that was a bit too much of a joke!
If he hadn’t explained himself quickly, he might have died without even knowing why.
In the future, I must never try to guess the thoughts of a big shot like him.
Once you get it wrong, it’s really easy to cause trouble!
After understanding Garen’s intentions, William was no longer angry and said calmly, “Vice Principal Garen, don’t be upset either. It was all a misunderstanding, but it’s good to clear things up when they arise.”
“Yes, yes, yes!” Garen nodded repeatedly.
Misunderstandings can be deadly!
They must be avoided in the future.
“Firstly, I’ll be teaching about the habits of Mutated creatures and the properties of some mutant plants. One class a week is definitely not enough; I need to have classes every day. Do you understand?” William decided to be straightforward, “Also, regarding the salary, I hope to be treated the same as other teachers. Whatever the standard pay rate is for teachers at the school, that’s what I should get.”
Hearing William say this, Garen suddenly realized, what the hell was he thinking?
Does a powerhouse like Mr. Johnson need energy crystals?
He doesn’t!
What he wants is to experience life, and if it’s about experiencing life, then he should be given the feel of living it.
Arranging just one class a week for him, wasn’t that underestimating him?
Garen finally snapped back to reality, a smile appearing on his face, and said, “Mr. Johnson, I know what to do now!”
