Crossing the Gods as Slaves

After school, the homeroom teacher, Ms. Ge Yi, gave Ning Hua the phone numbers of two tutors and asked her to contact them to arrange tutoring.

The sooner the better, the later. Ning Hua immediately called the two teachers and arranged the tutoring time and price. The Sylvia class was from 5 to 6 pm on weekdays, and the math class was from 6 to 7 pm on weekdays. The two teachers were not working on weekends. As for the rest of the courses... I'll just leave it to fate, Ning Hua thought.

When he really started to make up for the lessons, Ning Hua felt the pain firsthand. He looked up to the sky and sighed, "I haven't memorized any books since I was five thousand years old..."

In the evening, Ning Hua practiced using a fountain pen while listening to the TV news. The host said excitedly: "Starting from the 20th of this month, the commander will come to Austin for a three-day inspection. The inspection locations include the National Defense Zone, the Eighth District Military Camp, the Camilla Star Domain Research Institute, and Austin First Public School... Citizens who want to watch the ceremony, please remain rational and do not act radically..."

The commander is coming. To be honest, Ning Hua is still a little curious. There is a god-like existence in the world full of humans, but with my current civilian status, I will definitely not see such a great man. Concentrate on learning to write with a fountain pen.

On Thursday morning, the commander arrived in Austin. He changed from a spaceship to a flying machine and slowly descended above the city of Austin. The whole city was in an uproar.

Half of the students in the classroom did not come to class, and a large number of people poured into the streets to welcome the commander.

Whether it was the big screen in the school square, the broadcast during class, or the mobile phone news, all of them were about the commander's arrival in Austin. People everywhere were shouting and appearing on the entertainment news. A naked woman holding a sign and shouting "Commander, I love you, let me have a baby for you" made the headlines of Austin's entertainment news. Soon after, someone followed suit, and a naked man soon made another entertainment headline. The staff of the Austin City News Bureau had to make public statements to guide the public's behavior: "Please all citizens express their admiration for the commander appropriately and reasonably, and do not have any indecent or improper behavior, otherwise you may face prosecution by the Austin Public Security Department..."

On Friday afternoon, the commander and his party came to the Doctoral Department of Austin First Public School and delivered a half-hour public speech, encouraging students to actively participate in the research of future science and technology and medicine and make outstanding contributions to the Leeds galaxy. After the speech, the commander met with Austin Minister of Education and several outstanding scholars in the conference room of the First Public School.

The commander's guard officer walked out of the conference room and waved to the assistant minister of education. When the assistant came closer, he said to the assistant, "Please go to the elementary school department to find someone. Her name is Ning Hua. Go quickly and come back soon."

The assistant nodded and said "yes," then trotted out.

As soon as he ran out of the office building, sweat started to drip down the assistant's forehead: "What should I do? The Minister of Education doesn't know that the commander already knows about the existence of this illiterate person. We must quickly inform him." He took out the communicator and sent a message to the minister, and sighed that the commander's eyes were really everywhere in the Leeds galaxy.

In fact, the commander just wanted the guards to help retrieve Sid's communicator. He didn't even think about worrying about such a trivial matter as illiteracy.

The Minister of Education in the conference room was also a little nervous after receiving the message. He didn't expect that the commander would personally inquire about such a small matter, which was enough to show how much the commander valued education. After a scholar finished speaking, he came forward and said to the commander: "There is one more thing I want to report to you, it's about Miss Ning Hua."

Ning Hua? The elementary school teacher who picked up Sid's communicator? The commander nodded: "Minister, please speak."

The commander didn't even ask who this person was first. It seemed that he knew the answer: "It's like this. More than ten days ago, the mayor of the Never-Sleeping City on the planet Cassi asked Austin First Public School to accept this special student, Miss Ning Hua. Miss Ning Hua claimed that she had just come down from the mountain and had never received the free compulsory education in the Leeds system. She didn't even know Arabic numerals. Our Ministry of Education was shocked to hear about this. Like the mayor of the Never-Sleeping City, we hope that she can receive the best education as soon as possible and obtain a bachelor's degree or even a doctorate degree as soon as possible. So we agreed that the Never-Sleeping City would send her to Austin First Public School. She is now studying in Class One, Grade One of the Elementary School of the First Public School." After the Minister of Education finished speaking, he looked up at the commander's expression.

The commander tapped the table with his fingers. "You mean, she's a student in Grade 1, Class 1... not a teacher?"

Uh, what's going on? Doesn't the commander know about it?

The Minister of Education still replied respectfully: "Yes, Miss Ning Hua is a student in Class 1, Grade 1."
