The day Gu Chen led Class Eight from the bottom of the grade to the top three and won them the title of "Ace Class," the principal announced at a school-wide assembly:
"The organization has decided that Teacher Gu must step aside."
The Ace Class was handed to a famous teacher parachuted in from elsewhere, while Gu Chen was kicked down to the school's worst class, the so-called Cowherd Class.
Forty-one students, every single one with a "useless spirit root" according to the Spirit Stone.
The whole school says, "This class is beyond saving. Anyone who teaches them is doomed."
They don't know that Gu Chen has awakened the "Supreme Teacher System," which lets him see what the Spirit Stone can't:
The boy nicknamed "Sleep God" is a once-in-a-century genius at formation patterns;
The young man with a "birthmark" on his face hides the alchemical flame mark that an alchemy grandmaster has searched for in vain;
The "card sharp" who grew up at the gambling table has hands so fast he can control weapons in midair;
The troublemaker who only plays video games has a natural gift for precision archery...
Six months later, the Cowherd Class produces forty-one professional masters.
A year later, forty-one world-champion professionals stand on the podium and shout: "We are all disciples of Master Gu!"
The people who stabbed Gu Chen in the back are sick with regret.
And I simply wrote one line on the board in that shabby classroom:
Spirit roots don't decide your fate. Prejudice does.
Students with good academic performance are better disciplined by their parents
