The freshly minted Merit System 414 has acquired its very first Host.
In life, the Host committed many sins in pursuit of great ambitions. The best way to atone is to do good deeds.
Since the Host's karmic burden is enormous, 414 suggests: "Teach everyone without discrimination. Teaching a student is a good deed, and when they do good deeds, the Host can reap the benefits too~"
Looking at the silly 414, Wan Li really couldn't bring himself to tell it that students don't necessarily turn out to be successful, and even successful students aren't necessarily good people...
With the Host's consent, 414 began matching students with Wan Li.
When he met his first student, the boy was being pinned to the ground and beaten by other children.
414 pulled out its compendium of motivational sayings and told Wan Li to inspire his student: "No happiness comes without pain, and no growth comes without hard work and trials."
Wan Li, using the alias Jesses, committed 414's words to memory. He walked over to the student he'd just met and said, "Whoever causes you pain, make sure they get their own trial."
Jesses found his second student, a child ostracized because of his skin color.
414 doggedly clutched its compendium of motivational sayings, about to search for something suitable, when Jesses stopped it. "I've already memorized that saying."
What? Before 414 could ask, Jesses walked over to the child and said, "Whoever causes you pain, make sure they get their own trial."
Host, is something wrong with you?!
