Chapter 7: Interstellar Common Language Class = Chinese Language Class
Today was the first day of formal classes.
At 7:50 AM, Jiang Yuxi led the Merfolk Cubs through the door, taking them from their parents.
8:00 AM was usually morning exercises, but since today was the first day of formal classes, it was changed to a class meeting.
Through a brief class meeting, the students' aptitudes were tested, and the class monitor was selected.
"The class monitor's main responsibility is to help Director Jiang and Teacher Yi Yi collect and distribute homework, and to supervise classmates," Teacher Yi Yi was Robot One One. Jiang Yuxi decided to let it achieve greater value, serving as a life teacher in addition to handling miscellaneous tasks.
For example, collecting homework, supervising student morning readings, self-study, and naps would all be Teacher Yi Yi's responsibilities.
"This is Teacher Yi Yi. Most of the food we eat every day is made by Teacher Yi Yi. Also, Teacher Yi Yi is a bit old, so we must take good care of her." She was truly afraid that these little ones would be like the more rambunctious spiritual beast Merfolk Cubs in the Cultivation World, charging around, gnawing on anything they saw, and if they couldn't gnaw through something, they'd all work together until it was broken.
"Teacher Yi Yi is amazing!" Bernie's childish voice was full of disbelief.
"Director Jiang, we will protect Teacher Yi Yi from now on!" Jia Xio clenched his small fists, making a solemn vow.
While everyone's attention was drawn to Robot One One, Hei Mo's soft, firm voice rang out, "Teacher, I want to be the class monitor."
Jiang Yuxi clapped for the brave little one, "Are there any other Merfolk Cubs who want to run?"
Unexpectedly, the other Merfolk Cubs were quiet for a moment. Some looked at her, some looked at Hei Mo, but no one spoke.
"Is no one else running? Then Hei Mo will be the provisional class monitor!" Confirming that no other Merfolk Cubs wanted to run, Jiang Yuxi directly announced the result.
"Now, Class Monitor, please lead your classmates to line up and follow Teacher Yi Yi for breakfast."
Today's breakfast consisted of meat buns, milk, and steamed egg with minced meat. Oh no, it was Moo-Moo Beast milk and Wo-Wo Beast steamed egg.
The Merfolk Cubs all loved it, and almost everyone had a second serving of breakfast.
After accompanying the Merfolk Cubs through breakfast, they returned to the classroom.
After the bell, the first class of the semester began: Interstellar Common Language, which in her understanding was equivalent to Chinese Language Class.
The initial stage of Chinese Language Class mainly involved recognizing characters, phonics, and writing. The textbook was her self-compiled "Sunshine Interstellar Common Language," printed on an urgent schedule. Not only the Chinese textbook, but other subjects were also the same.
"This semester's textbooks are in the drawers of your desks. Please take out your Interstellar Common Language textbooks, and we will begin class. Everyone, follow the teacher and recite: The Dao that can be spoken is not the eternal Dao; The name that can be named is not the eternal Name…"
That's right, because she couldn't get specialized Kindergarten textbooks, she translated the cultivation mind methods from the Cultivation World and used them as Chinese Language Class materials.
Of course, there were also corresponding Physical Education, Math, Music, Handicraft, Painting, and Cooking classes, which also underwent some minor changes.
The Chinese Language Class in Kindergarten, which is Interstellar Common Language, isn't it just about recognizing characters, reading, and writing? Isn't recognizing the characters in cultivation mantras also recognizing characters?
For Math Class, she prepared something in the direction of "calculation," which could be said to coincide with Math Class, right?
For Physical Education, for physical training, what could be better than the body tempering techniques specially prepared for spiritual beast Merfolk Cubs in her former sect?
Interstellar beast world music was mainly for alleviating mental force riots. In terms of calming the mind, nothing was more effective than the morning lessons in the Cultivation World. Besides, didn't the Cultivation World also have sound cultivators? Back then, to better care for the Merfolk Cubs, she had consulted many ancient texts in the Scripture Pavilion and pestered her senior sister from Yunyao Peak to learn many sound cultivation techniques.
For Handicraft Class, what she arranged could also be considered a handicraft class; after all, it involved hands-on work.
Painting Class, this was even simpler. Whose painting doesn't start with learning lines? Her arranged painting classes were all about drawing lines.
Cooking Class was just cooking. In the sect, besides using a pill furnace to refine pills, she prepared meals for the spiritual beast Merfolk Cubs. Later, on Blue Star, when she didn't have a pill furnace, wood-burning stoves and induction cookers were her cooking tools.
Initially, she hadn't intended to arrange so many courses, but while watching the most popular children's TV series in the Interstellar, "I Am a Glorious Kindergarten Merfolk Cub," a little Merfolk Cub named Sasha learned roughly these courses in Kindergarten.
Speaking Interstellar Common Language fluently, learning to sing in Music Class, learning to dance in Dance Class, assembling robots and mini-spaceships in Handicraft Class, cooking in Cooking Class, appreciating and learning to paint in Art Class…
A tiny little Merfolk Cub could be said to be an all-rounder.
It was too competitive, truly the king of competition. But perhaps in the eyes of the beastmen of the interstellar era, better talent required learning more knowledge to bear greater social responsibility in the future.
And through today's aptitude test, she discovered that the beastmen Merfolk Cubs of the Interstellar had aptitudes comparable to the top-tier Heavenly Grade spiritual beast Merfolk Cubs in her former sect. Merfolk Cubs with such aptitude could only be nurtured by large sects with deep foundations and strength.
The most terrifying thing was that all eight students had such exceptionally rare aptitudes. As expected of the interstellar era, overflowing with spiritual energy, with geniuses everywhere!
Since the Interstellar Merfolk Cubs were so competitive, her students naturally couldn't fall behind.
These courses were compiled by her after several late nights, based on the Merfolk Cubs enrolled and the actual needs of the Interstellar.
She strived to train all her students to be the all-around excellent students seen in TV dramas!
For the Interstellar Kindergarten competition prize money, she was going all out!
Starting with Hei Mo, the voices of the little Merfolk Cubs gradually quieted, as they had entered a state of cultivation.
Looking at each student in meditation, Jiang Yuxi felt a little envious, gnashing her teeth. Whether in the Cultivation World or modern times, her aptitude had never been good. The original owner's aptitude should have been good, but unfortunately, when she took over, her Sea of Consciousness was chaotic, and her body was so weak that she was barely clinging to life. Now she still had to spend time, spiritual energy, and elixirs to slowly recuperate.
However, envy was envy, and jealousy was jealousy, but she was more happy. After all, such excellent Merfolk Cubs were all her students.
An hour passed quickly. Bernie and Bo'er, the two brothers, were the first to awaken from meditation, followed by Phil, Jia Xio, Leo, Zhu Xia, and Hei Mo. The last to awaken was actually Doris. This truly surprised her. She had thought Hei Mo would be the last one.
After all, among these students, Hei Mo had the best aptitude and entered meditation the fastest.
The next class was Physical Education, held on the playground in front of the teaching building.
The Merfolk Cub gene fluid that the original owner teacher obtained was of excellent composition. She refined the gene fluid, and its effect directly rivaled the most popular beginner spiritual beast body tempering fluid in the sect back then.
It seemed that the beastmen of the Interstellar also focused on body tempering, which further solidified her self-compiled Physical Education curriculum.
