Director-General of the Education Bureau?
A superior military officer?
Everyone was shocked again, taking a sharp breath that nearly suffocated those around them!
Song Liang's expression turned uglier than if his entire family had died.
Chu Yi became the Director-General of the Education Bureau? He's now my highest-ranking leader?!
And this position was personally bestowed by Old Hua! The value was off the charts!
Not only that, but he also received a superior military rank! That's the highest military honor in China!
Song Liang was dumbfounded. Just moments ago, he thought he wouldn't have any dealings with Chu Yi in the future.
But now, he's become his subordinate!
And the students, teachers, as well as veteran coaches like Feng Shikai from the city sports team.
The shock in their hearts was beyond words.
With their understanding, the "superpowers" that Chu Yi and his group had displayed, no matter how strong, were just a few powerful metahumans, surely no match for the state.
Yet in the blink of an eye, Old Hua personally arrived and granted Chu Yi almost the highest level of authority in China!
Whether in the official or military realm, Chu Yi was almost at the pinnacle of power!
The students were stunned.
Was this still the Teacher Chu they knew?
Incredible! Isn't this… too awesome?
'But why? Why was he granted such power?' Feng Shikai was utterly baffled.
Even if Chu Yi possessed supernatural abilities and could train students to be metahumans.
It didn't warrant Old Hua personally appointing him as the Director-General of the Education Bureau and a superior military officer, did it?
Education is the foundation of a nation, the military its dignity!
Why entrust such significant power to a young man in his twenties like Chu Yi?
Even if he was a metahuman, was he stronger than planes and cannons? Stronger than nuclear weapons?
Not just Feng Shikai, but other coaches from the city sports team, and even the students and teachers below.
After a brief shock, they all harbored the same confusion.
They couldn't help but doubt, was Old Hua's decision a mistake?
But in this situation, no one dared to ask.
And Chu Yi? Did he dare to accept such a heavy responsibility and power?
All eyes were on him, with various expressions.
But what they didn't expect was!
Chu Yi simply nodded calmly: "Alright, I thank Old Hua for this."
This was the condition agreed upon last night, so naturally, he wasn't surprised.
Instead, he felt Old Hua's personal visit was a bit superfluous.
Wouldn't an announcement have sufficed?
"Mr. Chu, the future of China is in your hands."
Old Hua's expression was very solemn and serious. He was well aware that this was a huge gamble.
Was Chu Yi truly loyal to the country? What was his real identity? Was his annihilation of the Guo family last night just a show staged with the martial arts world?
No one knew.
But Old Hua understood that if everything was viewed through the lens of conspiracy theories, nothing would progress.
Most importantly, after wasting three years and seeing the true colors of the martial arts world.
China had no other choice at this point. Chu Yi was the only hope.
Hearing this, Chu Yi smiled and said: "I don't have such noble ideals. I just like training cultivators. To help China train tens of millions, hundreds of millions, or even over a billion cultivators, that scene would be spectacular."
As he spoke, Chu Yi couldn't help but fantasize: "By then, when other countries are still training biotics men and are on the verge of collapse in the face of the Alien Beast crisis, our billion cultivators will stand up. That swagger would be world-class! Just thinking about the reactions of other countries is thrilling!"
Old Hua: "…"
Can't you think of something else besides showing off?
Like leading China to prosperity and wealth?
Forget it… as long as the outcome is good.
"Then we'll leave it to you, Mr. Chu." Old Hua smiled.
Meanwhile.
All the students and teachers on the playground were dumbfounded.
Teacher Chu actually accepted the responsibility without any pressure?
And what was he talking about?
Cultivators? Metahumans?
The Alien Beast crisis?
They had just heard similar terms from Mu Lengyu and the Ninth Elder.
But they didn't understand the true meaning.
Curiosity was boiling over in everyone's hearts.
What on earth was happening in the world?
What was the nature of Teacher Chu and their supernatural abilities?
And why did Old Hua grant him such immense power?
Even saying that the future of China was in Chu Yi's hands?
Uh… hold on, to be honest, doesn't this seem a bit unreliable?
There was no helping it; the unreliable image Chu Yi had left in the minds of the students and teachers was too deep-seated to shake off!
"What virtues and abilities does he have?" Feng Shikai muttered to himself, unable to understand.
And Chen Huaiyu beside him was already numb, tired, and ready for destruction.
Staying at this school really shortens one's life!
"Mr. Chu." Old Hua was clearly in a hurry and got straight to the point: "Do you have any plans for the upcoming education of cultivators… metahumans?"
Chu Yi was taken aback, thought for a moment, and said: "Let's take it step by step. There's no precedent for this kind of thing, and we need to explore. My idea is to start with North Hill High School, transform it into the first cultivator academy, and after establishing a mature education system for cultivators, gradually expand it nationwide."
Old Hua's face lit up with joy: "Mr. Chu, we had the same idea! We had planned to use North Hill High School as the pilot school for the 'Metahuman Cultivation Education Program.' Now it seems like fate! You're a teacher at this school, so it's only natural to start here."
Chu Yi glanced at the bewildered students and said directly: "There's no time to lose, let's start today."
Old Hua was taken aback, clearly not expecting him to be more eager than himself, and hesitated: "Mr. Chu, is your education plan ready?"
Chu Yi was stunned: "What? What education plan?"
Old Hua: "…"
"Mr. Chu." Old Hua carefully chose his words: "Although you can train cultivators, you might not be very professional in education. I think… perhaps we should find some experts from the Education Bureau to assist you?"
Chu Yi pondered for a moment and nodded: "Hmm, that's a good idea… but I'll personally select these people."
Despite being a teacher, he was clueless about educational work!
Getting some professionals to help would certainly be good.
Wouldn't that give him a chance to be lazy?
"Alright, Mr. Chu." Old Hua breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "Since you're so proactive, we'll trouble you to start working from today. It just so happens that we have summoned the leaders of the Shuzhou City Education Bureau and the Alien Abilities Management Bureau today to fully support your work."
Chu Yi frowned slightly.
Goodness, they had prepared everything in advance?
No wonder so many leaders came today!
Turns out they were all waiting for me to start working? the true intentions are revealed at last!
