Reincarnated as an Energy with a System

Ning was completely blindsided by the results just now. "Teacher? Huh?" his face couldn't help must make a confused expression. 

"Please come up, you three," Jezeere asked. 

Two other people that Ning remembered from the exam room walked up front with big smiles on their faces. Ning, however, didn't move at all. 

"Brother— I mean, Teacher Ning, you should go up soon," Ender said, changing the way he addressed Ning immediately. 

Ning didn't know what to do. He slowly walked forward and spoke to Jezeere. "Um, senior Jezeere. Are you sure there is no mistake? I should be a student, not a teacher," he said. 

"Hmm… what's your name?" he asked. 

"Ning Ruogong," Ning quickly replied. 

Jezeere's eyes flashed in a curious manner and asked, "May I see your registration card?"

"Uh, sure," Ning quickly took out the card and handed it to him. Jezeere checked the card and said, "it is the Teacher's entrance exam that you registered for. Why do you say you should be a student?" 

"Uhh…" Ning couldn't answer. 

'Teacher's exam? Did I sign up for that? I thought it was the student's exam. No wonder the people were so little and everyone was old,' Ning thought. 

"Come on up, Teacher Ning," Jezeere said with a smile. 

Ning sighed and reluctantly went up. He had decided to become a student for the hell of it, and now that he was a teacher, he would do that too. There was no reason for him to dwell on what happened any longer, and not take up the mantle of being a teacher. 

"Everyone, give a round of applause for your potential new teachers," Jezeere said to the crowd and they all started clapping. Ning felt it a little surreal but accepted it. 

"Come," Jezeere said and walked away. The 3 of them quickly followed behind him towards the Alchemy wing. 

Soon, they were all inside a library-like room with massive amounts of books. "This is the staff room. This is where you will be spending most of your free time from now on," Jezeere explained.

Ning looked at the desks all around him with books on them and a few people off to the corner reading them. They gave a quick glance towards the 3 newcomers and quickly went back to reading their book. 

"Do you guys know how the academy classes function?" Jezeere asked. 

The two that came together with Ning nodded, but Ning himself shook his head. "I'm new to the academy and am pretty much a newbie here," he said. 

"I see, let me explain. You will all get your own classes to teach in the Alchemy wing, but you will have no students. You will have to get students on your own as well."

"The academy bases your earnings on the number of students you have at the end of the month. Depending on the average attendance, you can earn almost nothing, or earn a lot," Jezeere said.

'Earnings depend on the student?' Ning was a little confused why this sort of system was even in place. 'Besides, I don't even need that many spirit stones,' he thought. 

Jezeere was looking directly at him and seemed to understand what someone new would think about the current situation.

"There are more benefits than just the earnings," Jezeeer said. If you manage to get 50 students on average across 30 days. You will get a bronze star badge." 

"Using bronze star badge, you will have access to everything, including the Alchemy furnaces at the bottom of the Alchemy Wind." 

"If you manage to have 200 students by the end of the month on average, you will get a Silver Star badge. With that badge, you have access to the whole academy. Meaning, you can go through any wing of the academy and get what you want in the other staff rooms as well," Jezeere said. 

"Also, a Silver star badge gives you the authority to fly through the city as well."

Ning thought for a second. 'There are hundreds of thousands of disciples in this academy, so it shouldn't be that hard to get new disciples, right?'

"Finally, if you somehow manage to have over 500 students on average by the end of the month, you will get the Golden star badges, which not only gets you access to the previous two things but also gives you the authority to use divine sense in the city."

Ning heard all of that and felt it was acceptable. But just then, he thought of something else. "Wait, how do we get new students at the start of the whole thing? Do we wait for the students to come to our room at random?" he asked. 

He remembered the days when he was a volunteer in the Pure Cleansing sect and had to leave it all to fate. Even when he had tried to do something, they had the management sent to him. 

He didn't want something like that to happen to him as well. 

"Oh, my bad. Sorry," Jezeere apologized. "I keep forgetting that I am explaining it all because you are new. It's really unusual to see someone join our sect and not know about it."

Ning just gave an awkward smile in response. 

"So, there are 5 lecture halls in the entire Alchemy wing. Every 2 weeks, you will be assigned to one of the 5 halls to give your lecture. Students will naturally come to the lecture, at least most of them, to either find new knowledge or find new teachers."

"You can captivate the hearts of these students during your 2 lectures a month and lure them into your classes," Jezeere said. 

The other two nodded, remembering the times they had sat through the lectures. They were a student of this academy previously and thus knew everything properly. 

"Alright, that is all from me about introducing the academy," Jezeere said. "You two, go and find Mr. Aikon to get your teaching and residential information."

"As for Teacher Ning, I have some questions for you. Would you please come with me?"
