Unfortunate Hero's Retirement Life 168 Debut - Part 1

They thought Heero wanted to talk with them about the opening ceremony or the kind of. They had prepared many plans in their minds, but it seemed the opposite party had a different plan, a simple one at that, hanging the board on the wall.

Sun Zhou Yi, Musashi Hirata, Kang Dong-Woo, and Xu Lingxun clapped their hands excitedly while Butcher Wang clapped his hand half-heartedly.

"Just like this?" Kang Seo-Yeon blurted out. She had reserved an event organizer, doing some kind of festival in the noon, and ended with a grand party in the night. Inviting the other famous martial house she was acquainted with. That was the plan.

"Mnn… Just like this… Even though I have opened the Martial House officially, we will not recruit any members temporarily. As for the advanced classes, you can discuss it with Blacksmith Huang and Wang Mi and for the Elementary Class, let's focus on the children in the orphanage first!"

Heero instructed the two girls who were doing the most job. He had planned all of this, but he did not do the work.

"Then I am going to take care of the Advanced Classes," Bai Xin Yue volunteered herself upon hearing the instructions. She immediately forgot about the plain opening.

"Good, I will take care of the Elementary Class," Kang Seo-Yeon nodded helplessly.

"Mnn… Also, ask the children if they want to join the martial house. They can start the basic training, but their main focus should be the Elementary Class!" After saying that, his gaze landed on Xu Lingxun, "You too, you have to join the Elementary Class!"

Kang Dong-Woo must have received a good education from his family, it was not necessary for him to join the Elementary Class. However, it was different when it came to Xu Lingxun. Since he had been running away, he did not receive any proper education.

After that, the Heero Academy officially opened with a plain opening. Even the people in the Xing District did not know there was a newly opened academy in the next of their district until a week later when the children from the orphanage started to wear the uniform of the Heero Academy.

The news of Heero Academy spread fast, especially with Sun Zhou Yi as the part of the academy. Many parents wanted their children to join the martial house but they were refused by Heero.

Joining the same martial house as Sun Zhou Yi, it was a dream of many. However, they were rejected by saying, the martial house did not recruit any members for a moment.

Even if one wanted to join the martial house, they had to follow the procedure. First, the parents could not force their kids to join the martial house. Second, It had to be the kids' decision, whether they wanted to fight to live or worked like scholars just like many others chose.

That was why Heero permitted the kids enrolled in the Elementary Class to join the basic training. He wanted the kids to choose for themselves what they wanted to be.

A month passed since the Heero Academy operated. Wang Mi and Blacksmith Huang opened the advanced class, but Wang Mi only accepted five students while Blacksmith Huang accepted ten students.

Butcher Wang's wife, Wang Mi seemed to be afraid to accept more students as she did not have any experience in teaching someone else. That was why she only accepted five students.

As for Blacksmith Huang, he was busy with work. The best he could take was ten students. Heero did not mind it even though Bai Xin Yue seemed to be against it. She wanted to make a name for the academy, but with a few students, the academy would be difficult to grow.

Today, Heero brought these students to the usual training ground where he and his disciples gathered. Before Wang Mi and Blacksmith Huang imparted their knowledge from him to the students, there was one thing these students needed to do, it was to make an oath.

Of course, this was completely different from a normal oath. Heero showed a beast skin with many words written on it.

"If you want to learn from them!" Heero pointed his finger to Blacksmith Huang and Wang Mi, "You have to sign this!"

In order to learn to make the concoction and the smithy he taught to Wang Mi and Blacksmith Huang, they had to learn to control their Ki first. Yes, the key to making medicine and forging a gear was the Ki.

He taught both Wang Mi and Blacksmith Huang a different Ki Comprehension. The oath was forbidding the student to spread the Ki Comprehension to anyone including their family without the academy's consent.

Heero did not mind if they shared the knowledge they got from the academy to their family or closest one, but not with the Ki Comprehension.

It was a simple oath and the fifteen students immediately understood the content. One student immediately raised his hand, a young man, about fifteen.

"What if I break the oath?" The boy asked with a frown.

"Just like what is written on the oath, you will be struck by lightning!" Heero answered right away with a grin.

The frown on the boy's forehead was getting deeper. He seemed to not believe his words. Not only the boys, Wang Mi, and Blacksmith Huang

"If you agree with the term, you can sign in the space provided with your blood!" Heero gave a needle to the boy. Surprisingly, the boy took the needle without hesitation, he pricked his thumb and signed the beast skin in the place provided.

To his surprise, the beast's skin was burned into ashes as the boy immediately threw the beast's skin away. The other students were also surprised as they were not expecting this.

The boy was Blacksmith Huang's student, Heero called Blacksmith Huang over, "Tell him the first chant for the Ki Comprehension!"

Everyone was clueless as to what Heero was about to do, but Blacksmith Huang nodded nonetheless. He whispered the first chant that would stimulate the Ki inside the boy's body. After Blacksmith Huang was done, he nodded toward Heero.

"Boy, tell the boy next to you what you just heard!" Heero instructed the boy who just signed the oath.

Based on the oath, the boy was breaking the oath if he told the boy what Blacksmith Huang just told him. However, the boy seemed not afraid as he immediately whispered to the boy, but the whisper had to stop half-way as a roar of thunder rumbled behind the sky.

Everyone immediately looked up and saw a thunder descended toward the boy. It shocked everyone and just when they thought the thunder would hit them, the thunder dispersed as if the thunder crashed into an invisible barrier.

At this time, everyone noticed Heero raised his hand toward the thunder. The students saw their principal was smiling gently toward them.

"That's what will happen if you break the oath! Just now, I shield the lightning, but if I don't shield the lightning, you know what would happen to you, right?" Still, with his gentle smile, Heero explained to the students.

Wang Mi knew how strong Heero was from her husband, but she did not know Heero was this strong, summoning the lightning merely with a written oath. The same for the other students, they were shocked by just what happened.

"You can give up now, except you!" Heero pointed to the boy who looked at him in a daze, "You have signed the oath, you can't back down!"

After the show just now, Heero thought half of the students would back down. To his surprise, none of them backed down. They stayed still, expressing their willingness to join the academy.

'It's stupid if we back down after what you just showed us!' All students had the same thoughts. Most of the students came from the core region. Especially the students who wanted to learn the medicine, they were the people from the Bai Family.

Even without the order from their backers, they would study under the Heero Academy. Moreover, the oath did not tie them with the academy even after they graduated. So, they could open their own pharmacy or smithy after graduating from the academy.

Just like that, the fifteen students signed the oath.

The next morning, Kang Seo-Yeon visited the shop.

Kang Seo-Yeon's purpose came to the shop was inviting Heero to join the first debut of the Heero Academy in the martial world.

"Practice match? You can get Sun Zhou Yi or Hirata or both of them, I am not interested!" Heero waved his hand, declining the invitation. Sun Zhou Yi and Musashi Hirata were the vice head of the Heero Academy, so inviting them was also appropriate.

"Hehe… are you sure you don't want to tag along? Our opponent is Iron Fist Martial House!" Kang Seo-Yeon smiled beautifully in return.

When the words Iron Fist Martial House entered his ears, his hand stopped kneading the dough.
