Chapter 762 Rocky''s Teacher
"I didn''t let you down," Rocky said to Juey with a bright smile, his arms stuffed in his pockets.
"Of course, I had no doubts. Don''t forget that I brought you here, and I wouldn''t have done that if I''m
not confident in you," replied Juey drily. In contrast to her dry tone, was the warm and proud smile she
levered at him right after. Of course, he didn''t need to know that she did worry for him earlier.
"By the way, my sister Mary must be furious right now, so you must be careful from now on. I know my
sister. Once she sets her mind on something, she won''t let it go. If she wants to drive you away, she will
do whatever it takes." The cheery look that Juey was sporting earlier had beenpletely reced by
a darker expression.
She was frowning in consternation, and although she wanted to stop her sister, all she could do right
then was warn Rocky and hope that that would be enough. "Okay. I''ll go back to the beast farm first,"
said Rocky in an offhand manner. Honestly, Mary wasn''t big enough of a threat for him to take
seriously, and he was confident that he could face whatever trouble she would throw his way. In the
first ce, he only took part in the interview so that he could reverse Mary''s momentum. He couldn''t
care less whether he became a disciple there or not.
The next day, a disciple from the Xiao n brought Rocky a set of clothes, and once he had changed
into them, he was directed to the training field where he had been interviewed the day before.
Rocky didn''t want to go, but he knew that Mary would just hassle him if he didn''t go. He wasn''t afraid of
her, but thest thing he wanted was to be distracted when he was only halfway done with his
research. It would take him at least fifteen more days to work on the samples of spirit-manipted
beasts in the beast farm, but once it was done, Mary wouldn''t even need to drive him away. He would
disappear on his own.
Thus, he put on the ck and white robe with a heaviness in his limbs andnguor in his steps.
Every disciple of the Xiao n had the ck and white robes as their official uniform, and if they
showed an excellent performance and talent, they would be officially promoted to be a disciple of the
n after three years. That was the time when they would be allowed to wear the official green clothes
that represented the identity of a disciple of the Xiao n. It was every disciple''s dream to wear those
green robes. Well, except for Rocky.
As soon as Rocky arrived at the training field, he saw numerous disciples of the Xiao n in the same
garb as him, and almost all of them were spirit maniptors. Of course, their strength was only about
the first or second grade of the Mortal Stage. There were also a few ordinary people that were
wandering around, and he quickly pretended to be one of them.
As he was walking, a figure rushed out from the other side and collided with him identally.
Rocky had noticed him, of course, but he didn''t avoid getting hit, as that would expose his true abilities.
Just as they bumped into each other, Rocky stepped back as if he was affected, while the other person
was thrown back as well.
"It hurts!" the figure eximed at once.
"Yes, it did," Rocky responded with a bitter smile rubbing where the figure supposedly hit him. Now that
the figure was somewhat still, he noticed that it was a young man, probably around seventeen years
old, with dark skin and fine teeth. Just like him, he was wearing the disciple clothes of the Xiao n.
"I''m so sorry. I didn''t see you just now," the boy apologized as soon as he looked up.
"It''s okay. What''s your name?" Rocky asked in a friendly tone.
"Jonas, J-o-n-a-s," the boy replied.
"Jonas? Isn''t that a famous person in history? Maybe you will have a bright future." As Rocky spoke, a
warm and genial smile broke out on his face. Then, he patted the boy''s back amiably and turned to
leave.
Meanwhile, Jonas was left there stunned, looking at Rocky''s retreating back.
When the disciples of the Xiao n had fully gathered, a familiar figure appeared. It was Harry, whom
Rocky had met twice, and he was the one responsible for healing beasts in the Magical Beast House.
Besides that, he was also responsible for teaching the n''s disciples.
Before anyone could learn the Beast Curing Skill, they needed to learn basic medical skills and medical
theory first. Besides that, they should be familiar with all kinds of herbs and flowers, as well as their
different properties. It is only with these bits of knowledge that a solid foundation could be built, and
only from these could anyone learn the real Beast Curing Skill.
This was why the Xiao n put so much weight on the training of their disciples, and they made sure
to start from this solid foundation.
In the training field, Harry had settled down the disciples and had asked them to sit on the ground,
where he began to teach them the basics of medical skills and medical theory. Although some disciples
were familiar with basic skills, they were all considered beginners, so the Xiao n decided to teach
them equally.
But to Rocky, the lesson was a piece of cake. And so, not long after Harry began teaching, he fell
asleep. His head leaned heavily on his hand, as he dozed off. But, of course, he only looked like he
was sleeping, but he was actually using the time topare and analyze the research data in his
brain.
Soon, Harry noticed Rocky, and his face darkened in anger. Yesterday, he was thinking that Rocky
could be an asset to their group, but he was disappointed with him now, as he was sleeping on his first
day! Maybe he wasn''t as brilliant as he had thought.
He immediately strode towards Rocky and raised a long ruler in his hand to hit him over the head.
Meanwhile, the other disciples were giggling in delight, as some of them were gloating at Rocky''s
misfortune of getting caught.
However, before the ruler hit him, Rocky suddenly lowered his head and avoided it. Naturally, Harry
and the other disciples were stunned.
At this moment, Rocky yawned as if he just woke up. He opened his eyes and found Harry standing in
front of him, so he pretended to be surprised and asked, "Teacher, why are you here?"
Harry frowned sternly at him and said, "You are not the servant of the Magical Beast House anymore. It
won''t be easy for you to be a disciple of the Xiao n, so you should cherish the opportunity and listen
carefully. The Beast Curing Skill is the foundation. Don''t think that you are too smart for this, because if
you are too self-confident, you are bound to fail."
"But I was listening carefully!" replied Rocky with an innocent look on his face.
"You were sleeping!" Harry told Rocky bluntly, seeing that he was still arguing.
"No. I was listening... If you don''t believe me, Teacher, I will repeat everything you just said in ss."
Rocky didn''t give Harry time to answer, instead, he began to recite what Harry had been discussing,
word for word.
Harry''s eyes widened out of shock, and he was rendered speechless. The other disciples also stared at
Rocky in astonishment. They had seen Rocky sleeping as well, and they thought that he wasn''t
listening to the teacher at all. But to their surprise, Rocky was able to repeat exactly what he had just
been taught, and not one word was missing.ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
"Well, it seems that you did listen to me. Maybe I was wrong, but you''d better be more serious," Harry
finally said after an awkward silence. He was dumbfounded that Rocky could understand and
remember his lessons even while he was sleeping, so it made an impression on him. But he also
scolded him because he couldn''t let him act out in ss.
Afterward, Rocky ignored Harry''s words, and he closed his eyes again to study the data in his brain.
This time, Harry turned a blind eye on Rocky''s behavior.
