Furina accepted Teacher Zhou's invitation to substitute teach almost without hesitation. This was not just a simple teaching task, but an excellent platform to showcase the philosophy of the Axis Cult to the younger generation of Shrek Academy.
"I am honored by your regard, Teacher, and naturally, I am happy to be of service." Furina's lips curved into an elegant and confident arc, her voice clear and melodious. "Since Teacher Zhou has extended such a sincere invitation, how could I, as a student, refuse? Why don't you step aside for a moment, or find an empty seat in the audience, and watch how I, Furina, play the role of a temporary teacher. How about that?"
Zhou Yi gave her a deep look but said nothing. She simply retreated silently to the side of the classroom, standing with her arms crossed, looking every bit the observer. She wanted to see exactly what kind of unique class this "problem student" who talked back to her could deliver.
Furina stepped onto the podium with a calm gait. Her azure eyes swept across the many curious, scrutinizing, or expectant faces below, and she then revealed an incredibly infectious smile.
"Very good, excellent! My dear students, the morning light is just right, and I am very happy to meet you all on this beautiful morning. I am Furina, the current Pope of the Water God Cult. Today, I have the honor of being entrusted by Teacher Zhou Yi to temporarily take on the role of lecturer. I hope you will all share your wisdom with me."
She made her identity clear without any evasion, her voice clear and firm. This was exactly the effect she wanted—to use the Shrek Academy classroom to deeply plant the name "Furina, Pope of the Water God Cult," as well as the philosophy it represented, into the hearts of these future pillars of the continent. As for the risks that might come with revealing her identity? Furina had already weighed them.
Ever since she revealed her identity to Bei Bei, Tang Ya, and Jiang Nannan, and had contact with Mu En, the higher-ups at Shrek must have already taken notice of her. Hiding was pointless, so it was better to show herself openly.
Moreover, having learned from the Water God that the gaze of the God King Tang San had already fallen upon her, she felt like needles were pricking her back, but fortunately, the God of Destruction, who wielded the authority of destruction, also cast a scrutinizing gaze upon her.
She had already entrusted the Water God to act as an intermediary, expressing her desire to communicate with the God of Destruction. As both were humans who had stepped onto the divine path through faith, Furina speculated that this God King might take some interest in her existence, especially since the other party was already going to pass the divine position of the Goddess of Life to her.
If she could secure some support from the God of Destruction, she would at least have more confidence when facing Tang San's omnipresent "influence".
Of course, she would never pin all her hopes on others. The minds of deities were unfathomable, and the experience of her Seniors had repeatedly proven that relying on external forces was never a long-term plan. To forge iron, one must be strong oneself; only by constantly improving her strength and expanding her influence could she grasp the initiative in this intricate game of chess.
Suppressing her complex thoughts for the moment, Furina focused all her attention on the class before her. She cleared her throat and began the formal lesson.
"Now, let us begin today's lesson. First, I would like to ask everyone to think about a question that is fundamental, yet perhaps not quite so simple."
Her gaze wandered around the classroom, finally settling on that outstanding-looking, proudly bearing, powder-blue-haired youth. "Student Wang Dong, please answer: Into what types are Spirit Masters usually divided? Among them, which types lean towards attack, and which are more suitable for defense?"
Wang Dong stood up in response and answered fluently: "Spirit Masters are divided into the attack system, Agility Attack System, control system, food system, Support System, and Defense System. Generally speaking, the Power Attack, Agility Attack, and Control categories are more suitable for attack duties, while the Food, Support, and Defense categories are more focused on defense and support."
His answer was as standard as a textbook, with a hint of natural confidence on his face.
Furina did not evaluate it immediately but instead asked, "Are you finished?"
