CHAPTER 762 ROCKY'S TEACHER

"I didn't let you down," Rocky said to Juey with a bright smile, his arms stuffed in his pockets.

"Of course, I had no doubts. Don't forget that I brought you here, and I wouldn't have done that if I'm

not confident in you," replied Juey drily. In contrast to her dry tone, was the warm and proud smile she

levered at him right after. Of course, he didn't need to know that she did worry for him earlier.

"By the way, my sister Mary must be furious right now, so you must be careful from now on. I know my

sister. Once she sets her mind on something, she won't let it go. If she wants to drive you away, she will

do whatever it takes." The cheery look that Juey was sporting earlier had been completely replaced by

a darker expression.

She was frowning in consternation, and although she wanted to stop her sister, all she could do right

then was warn Rocky and hope that that would be enough. "Okay. I'll go back to the beast farm first,"

said Rocky in an offhand manner. Honestly, Mary wasn't big enough of a threat for him to take

seriously, and he was confident that he could face whatever trouble she would throw his way. In the

first place, he only took part in the interview so that he could reverse Mary's momentum. He couldn't

care less whether he became a disciple there or not.

The next day, a disciple from the Xiao Clan brought Rocky a set of clothes, and once he had changed

into them, he was directed to the training field where he had been interviewed the day before.

Rocky didn't want to go, but he knew that Mary would just hassle him if he didn't go. He wasn't afraid of

her, but the last thing he wanted was to be distracted when he was only halfway done with his

research. It would take him at least fifteen more days to work on the samples of spirit-manipulated

beasts in the beast farm, but once it was done, Mary wouldn't even need to drive him away. He would

disappear on his own.

Thus, he put on the black and white robe with a heaviness in his limbs and languor in his steps.

Every disciple of the Xiao Clan had the black and white robes as their official uniform, and if they

showed an excellent performance and talent, they would be officially promoted to be a disciple of the

clan after three years. That was the time when they would be allowed to wear the official green clothes

that represented the identity of a disciple of the Xiao Clan. It was every disciple's dream to wear those

green robes. Well, except for Rocky.

As soon as Rocky arrived at the training field, he saw numerous disciples of the Xiao Clan in the same

garb as him, and almost all of them were spirit manipulators. Of course, their strength was only about

the first or second grade of the Mortal Stage. There were also a few ordinary people that were

wandering around, and he quickly pretended to be one of them.

As he was walking, a figure rushed out from the other side and collided with him accidentally.

Rocky had noticed him, of course, but he didn't avoid getting hit, as that would expose his true abilities.

Just as they bumped into each other, Rocky stepped back as if he was affected, while the other person

was thrown back as well.

"It hurts!" the figure exclaimed at once.

"Yes, it did," Rocky responded with a bitter smile rubbing where the figure supposedly hit him. Now that

the figure was somewhat still, he noticed that it was a young man, probably around seventeen years

old, with dark skin and fine teeth. Just like him, he was wearing the disciple clothes of the Xiao Clan.

"I'm so sorry. I didn't see you just now," the boy apologized as soon as he looked up.

"It's okay. What's your name?" Rocky asked in a friendly tone.

"Jonas, J-o-n-a-s," the boy replied.

"Jonas? Isn't that a famous person in history? Maybe you will have a bright future." As Rocky spoke, a

warm and genial smile broke out on his face. Then, he patted the boy's back amiably and turned to

leave.

Meanwhile, Jonas was left there stunned, looking at Rocky's retreating back.

When the disciples of the Xiao Clan had fully gathered, a familiar figure appeared. It was Harry, whom

Rocky had met twice, and he was the one responsible for healing beasts in the Magical Beast House.

Besides that, he was also responsible for teaching the clan's disciples.

Before anyone could learn the Beast Curing Skill, they needed to learn basic medical skills and medical

theory first. Besides that, they should be familiar with all kinds of herbs and flowers, as well as their

different properties. It is only with these bits of knowledge that a solid foundation could be built, and

only from these could anyone learn the real Beast Curing Skill.

This was why the Xiao Clan put so much weight on the training of their disciples, and they made sure

to start from this solid foundation.

In the training field, Harry had settled down the disciples and had asked them to sit on the ground,

where he began to teach them the basics of medical skills and medical theory. Although some disciples

were familiar with basic skills, they were all considered beginners, so the Xiao Clan decided to teach

them equally.

But to Rocky, the lesson was a piece of cake. And so, not long after Harry began teaching, he fell

asleep. His head leaned heavily on his hand, as he dozed off. But, of course, he only looked like he

was sleeping, but he was actually using the time to compare and analyze the research data in his

brain.

Soon, Harry noticed Rocky, and his face darkened in anger. Yesterday, he was thinking that Rocky

could be an asset to their group, but he was disappointed with him now, as he was sleeping on his firstC0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

day! Maybe he wasn't as brilliant as he had thought.

He immediately strode towards Rocky and raised a long ruler in his hand to hit him over the head.

Meanwhile, the other disciples were giggling in delight, as some of them were gloating at Rocky's

misfortune of getting caught.

However, before the ruler hit him, Rocky suddenly lowered his head and avoided it. Naturally, Harry

and the other disciples were stunned.

At this moment, Rocky yawned as if he just woke up. He opened his eyes and found Harry standing in

front of him, so he pretended to be surprised and asked, "Teacher, why are you here?"

Harry frowned sternly at him and said, "You are not the servant of the Magical Beast House anymore. It

won't be easy for you to be a disciple of the Xiao Clan, so you should cherish the opportunity and listen

carefully. The Beast Curing Skill is the foundation. Don't think that you are too smart for this, because if

you are too self-confident, you are bound to fail."

"But I was listening carefully!" replied Rocky with an innocent look on his face.

"You were sleeping!" Harry told Rocky bluntly, seeing that he was still arguing.

"No. I was listening... If you don't believe me, Teacher, I will repeat everything you just said in class."

Rocky didn't give Harry time to answer, instead, he began to recite what Harry had been discussing,

word for word.

Harry's eyes widened out of shock, and he was rendered speechless. The other disciples also stared at

Rocky in astonishment. They had seen Rocky sleeping as well, and they thought that he wasn't

listening to the teacher at all. But to their surprise, Rocky was able to repeat exactly what he had just

been taught, and not one word was missing.

"Well, it seems that you did listen to me. Maybe I was wrong, but you'd better be more serious," Harry

finally said after an awkward silence. He was dumbfounded that Rocky could understand and

remember his lessons even while he was sleeping, so it made an impression on him. But he also

scolded him because he couldn't let him act out in class.

Afterward, Rocky ignored Harry's words, and he closed his eyes again to study the data in his brain.

This time, Harry turned a blind eye on Rocky's behavior.
