Chapter 228 Freshmen Enrollment
Chapter 228 Freshmen Enrollment
Chapter 229 Freshmen Enrollment (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Magic Martial Arts quickly put its plan into action.
All freshmen of the Class of 2009 received a notice from the university entitled "Plan for the Allocation of Dormitories for the Class of 09".
Before even entering the school, they had already gotten to know President Fang, all because of the new martial arts club's regulations.
Many students, upon learning that the new martial arts club president was only a sophomore, immediately declared that they would challenge him and become the martial arts club president themselves when they were sophomores.
There has been a lot of commentary on this matter in society.
"50 a year? Magic Martial Arts Academy is robbing us! That's enough to buy a house elsewhere."
"As one of the two most prestigious universities in the country, Wuhan University in Shanghai has gone to great lengths to profit from its dormitory allocation plan. How can we entrust our children to them with peace of mind?"
"Don't even bother paying for a room! Only a fool would spend 50 yuan a year to rent a dorm room!"
The outside world is critical of Magic Martial Arts University's practices. In their view, schools should be more pure, so why are they doing these things to make money?
Most of the people who spoke were ordinary people who underestimated the spending power of martial artists; 500,000 was just a matter of two or three pills.
Moreover, most people who can apply to become martial arts practitioners are either from families with martial arts backgrounds or have assets, which is why they can afford the expenses of martial arts training.
It's possible that a genius from a humble background might emerge at that time. Fang Ping would offer such a person preferential treatment, allowing them to live there for free. He intends to exploit the wealthy, not these people.
Even before the start of the semester, countless parents called the Magic Martial Arts University's information desk, all asking about changes to the dormitories.
50 may seem like a lot, but many people are willing to pay this amount so that their children can have a stable living environment that is more suitable for martial arts training.
After all, they will support their children most of the time, as long as it's for their children's sake.
Soon all 200 spots were filled, and Fang Ping then cleaned up the other closed dormitory buildings and opened them to the public again. Magic Martial Arts University lacks everything, but it doesn't lack dormitory buildings.
Anyway, what comes back to him is all real money, which can be used to support the development of Magic Martial Arts. He's not doing this solely for his own benefit.
September 1st, new students enroll.
As in previous years, there were countless parents and students at the school gate. Parents who wanted to enter were stopped by Fu Changding, and only students could enter at a time.
At the school gate, Fang Ping watched the students entering the school and said to the martial arts club members behind him, "The new students are getting stronger every year. Our requirements from back then are no longer sufficient for them. We must use stricter requirements. To put it bluntly, the atmosphere at Magic Martial Arts School is too lax and permissive. The martial arts club didn't care before, but now we have to, and we have to manage it more strictly. You all know that the underground situation is even more serious. There's no time left for them to grow slowly, so we must reform. As the president of the martial arts club, I also hope that Magic Martial Arts School will be better."
Zhang Yu and many of the instructors at Magic Martial Arts University previously thought that they should concentrate resources to cultivate a group of top students.
My idea is to open-source and acquire more resources. While cultivating top students, we must also strengthen the overall strength of Magic Martial Arts University. Only in this way can more students survive underground. Next, I will implement a bottom-ranking elimination system. If you want to stay in Magic Martial Arts University, you can't just lie around. Otherwise, look at the current third and fourth-year students—there are still non-martial artists. They were so promising when they entered, but they are still non-martial artists now. And they haven't lost any of the resources they have.
"President, this is a bit too much, isn't it? After all, juniors and seniors are very different from freshmen. Perhaps we should start with the freshmen?" Liang Fenghua said worriedly, since they had just taken charge of the martial arts club and were already targeting the juniors and seniors.
"Okay, I'll discuss it with the principal later. We'll start with the freshmen and then find time to deal with the corrupt elements within the school," Fang Ping said after thinking for a moment. Although he also wanted to get rid of the corrupt elements in the third and fourth years, he wasn't strong enough yet. He had only just become the president of the martial arts club and hadn't settled into his position. Forced reforms would definitely not succeed.
To be honest, before becoming the president of the martial arts club, Fang Ping's initial intention was to make money. However, after learning everything about the martial arts club,
Fang Ping unconsciously began to think about how to make the Magic Martial Arts Institute better. It can only be said that status determines everything. Once you truly reach that position, you will naturally start to consider the choices below.
Magic Martial Arts Academy, rooftop of the school history museum.
On this day of enrollment for the new students, they entrusted everything to Fang Ping, while Wu Kuishan and Huang Jing watched the commotion below.
What do you think of Fang Ping's actions?
Huang Jing stared at the new students as he spoke.
"Let him do it first. He's dealing with freshmen right now. Adding a bottom-ranking elimination system can also increase the students' sense of urgency."
"The Magic Martial Arts Academy has indeed become a bit lax. There are even non-martial artists among the third and fourth-year students. They're wasting so many resources; don't you really know where they're going to use them?"
Wu Kuishan said calmly.
"What he said was indeed a minor matter; you know that's not what I was asking about."
Huang Jing said calmly.
"The old principal has sacrificed himself, and the underground city of Shanghai is undergoing a major change that has not been seen in a century. With the two cities joining forces, how much longer do you think we can hold them off?"
Hundreds of years? Decades? In my opinion, it's only been a few years. Now, just two cities have joined forces and they've already beaten us to this state. And you know how many cities are still in Shanghai. I know how difficult it is for a second-rank cultivator to go down into the underground world. But times have changed. Old Huang, things are different now than they were back then. Only by surviving in the underground world can one grow. Look at Qin Fengqing's growth rate. He went down into the underground world at the second rank, and by the third rank, he traversed hundreds of miles of the underground world. His talent isn't that great, but he improved faster than all the students in his class. Why? Don't you know?
Now we're taking off with Lu Hao, but even if the opportunity comes, you won't be able to seize it if you don't have the strength. In a calm state, how long does it take for a student to reach the third rank? We... don't have time."
Wu Kuishan said with a sigh.
"If we don't have time, we should make time. We're still alive, aren't we?" Huang Jing retorted.
"Buy time? How much time can we buy? If they don't grow stronger, once we're wiped out, Magic Martial Arts University will be gone."
Those who are enrolled now are all prodigies, no less capable than Fang Ping and his classmates, which is why they need even more pressure. With Fang Ping's bottom-ranking elimination system, plus the requirement of entering the underground cave at the second rank...
Only in this way can we make them feel a sense of urgency, motivate them, stop them from lying low, and encourage them to unleash their potential. Old Huang, time waits for no one! The situation isn't just dire in Shanghai's underground caves; other caves are also facing serious problems, especially with the cave in Nanjiang scheduled to open at the end of the year.
The final battle may not be far off, so there's no time to let them grow slowly. If we're forcing them to grow, then the underground cave is a place to solidify their foundation. Only through cooperation can they grow. Wu Kuishan said with a self-deprecating smile.
