Chapter 54: Second Career (a chapter that has nothing to do with the protagonist)
"Has everyone finished their preparation?" Qin Man asked with a smile on her face at the podium.

"it is done!"

In the classroom, only Xu Hao buried his head in his textbook, afraid of being seen.

But even if this is a class of 50 people, ordinary people without soul power can recognize Ding Zhen at first sight.

My originally good mood immediately turned half bad.

"Xu Hao!"

"Here!" Xu Hao immediately stood up in a panic.

"Bring the book up here for me to see."

"Ah?" Looking at Qin Man's stern eyes, Xu Hao slowly moved to the podium.

The book was snatched away, and the paper was being rapidly scrutinized. Xu Hao's face turned pale, his heart was beating fast, his hands clenched unconsciously, and he looked away, unable to watch what was happening.

I'm sorry, Ah Shu! I failed to protect you!

555...

Qin Man stared at the homework she assigned with a piercing gaze and found more than a dozen scribbled characters and large blank spaces. It was obvious that she had not paid enough attention when she was filling it in just now!
"Xu Hao."

"I'm here, Teacher Qin." Xu Hao grinned like a servile person.

"What are you laughing at? It's class time and you're still smiling at the teacher!"

Teacher Qin Man glanced at Xu Hao coldly. Her eyes made Xu Hao immediately stop smiling and feel a little uneasy.

There won't be severe punishment, will there?

"Xu Hao, there is something wrong with your attitude. You don't prepare well enough and you are smiling in class. How can you concentrate on your studies like this?" There was a hint of blame in teacher Qin Man's voice.

Xu Hao lowered his head, not daring to have any playful expression anymore.

"Teacher Qin Man, I was wrong. But I promise that I will prepare carefully and concentrate on the classes in the future." Xu Hao's voice was full of sincerity.

Qin Man looked at Xu Hao, and her anger subsided a little.

Are today's students so difficult to lead?

She sighed secretly.

"Xu Hao, I hope you can do what you say. Sit down first. If something like this happens again next time, I will deal with you seriously in terms of your studies." There was a hint of warning in Qin Man's voice.

Xu Hao was delighted when he heard what Teacher Qin Man said.

Hehe, I escaped again!
He took the book back, turned around, and on the way back to his seat, he winked at Chen Yan again, his excitement evident in words.

Li Xuanya, who was sitting in the back, burst out laughing, and everyone else was infected by her laughter.

Qin Man turned a blind eye and waited for Xu Hao to return to his seat.

However, just as Xu Hao sat down on the stool, Qin Man's voice rang out.

"Since you don't work hard in your studies, you should focus on your cultivation, right?" Teacher Qin, who had been stern and cold to him just now, now became sunny again.

strange!
Xu Hao secretly exclaimed in his heart, but on the surface he still answered: "Yes, I practiced too late yesterday and forgot my homework."

Qin Man nodded slightly, seeming to be quite satisfied with Xu Hao's answer.

"Since you've put all your energy into cultivation and even ignored your studies, I guess you've made a lot of progress in this area!"

Qin Man's smile gradually became more subtle, which gave Xu Hao a bad feeling.

"Well, you should add 50 pounds when you do exercises next time. I'll change the equipment in my office later."

Xu Hao was shocked when he heard this, and immediately realized that his excitement just now might have been too premature.

"Teacher Qin Man, I..."

He stood up suddenly, his face full of horror.

Teacher Qin Man smiled gently and interrupted Xu Hao: "Xu Hao, don't be nervous, I believe you can do it well, sit down first."

Xu Hao sat back in his seat with tears in his eyes, secretly complaining in his heart. If I had known this would happen, I would have just admitted that I did nothing!
"Okay, students, let's not talk about the content in the textbook in this class. I will first tell you about the second career."

Xu Hao: …

You punished me, but you just laughed it off.

He took out his notebook bitterly. He was punished even though he didn't even talk about the content of the book! It really made me cry!

"I believe everyone knows that the second profession is now divided into four types, namely forger, mecha designer, mecha manufacturer, and mecha repairer."

"Their existence can be said to be closely related to the current soul master system."

"Because they have risen along with the rise in the status of mecha masters and battle armor masters today, so that most of the soul masters today will be exposed to this aspect, and practitioners of the second profession are also increasingly valued. Whether it is a mecha or a more powerful battle armor, for the current soul masters, it is no less than the soul bones of ten thousand years ago."

Teacher Qin Man’s words aroused great interest among the students, and the atmosphere in the classroom suddenly became lively.

For them, mecha is not what they pursue, what they pursue is the battle armor that they wear on their bodies and fight side by side with them!

Therefore, when it came to this, they listened particularly carefully, even though they didn't know that someone present had already put on the complete Yi Zi Dou Jia that they had wanted for many years.

"For mecha, it has few restrictions, so it is widely used in the military, but its amplification is far less than that of battle armor. As for battle armor, it has extremely high requirements for the physical fitness of the soul master. Therefore, even if an ordinary soul master wants to wear a complete set of the lowest level one-word battle armor, he must at least have a five-ring level, and he also needs to participate in this process, so that he can forge a battle armor that suits him."

"So, the second profession is very important for a soul master. The more talented the soul master is, the higher the level requirement for the second profession will be."

“I hope everyone can choose their second career carefully and stick to it.”

"And the training of the second profession is not as direct as that of a soul master. It requires an understanding of various materials, a mastery of mechanical principles, and a deep understanding of the structure of mechas."

"Generally speaking, the blacksmith profession is the most difficult and requires the most talent. It is also the most important of the four professions."

"Because only blacksmiths can create the battle armor materials that soul masters dream of, which cannot be replaced by current technology. Mecha designers need to have rich imagination and creativity to design a mecha appearance and internal structure that is both beautiful and practical. Mecha manufacturers turn the designer's drawings into reality, which requires superb manual skills and a deep understanding of the use of materials, and the requirements for soul power are also quite high. As for mecha repairers, they ensure that the mecha and battle armor can operate continuously and stably, which requires solid maintenance skills and quick response capabilities."

Teacher Qin Man paused, looked at the students' focused eyes, and continued, "From today on, the students in our class will be exposed to the preliminary knowledge of the second career. I hope you can cherish this opportunity, study hard, and find a career you like."
