Chapter 1475 - The Vegetarian School
1475 The Vegetarian School
Edited by Aelryinth
Mo Fan seriously thought he had been set up by Miss Ceylan!
She clearly mentioned that his impression of their school was going to change after dinner. She was absolutely right; Mo Fan’s impression of Alps Institute could not be any worse after dinner!
“These vegetables, bread, and vegetable soups… f**k me, give me some meat!” Mo Fan was about to lose his mind.
Since he was injured, he was looking forward to eating some meat to replenish his blood and aid his recovery. To his surprise, Alps Institute turned out to be a vegetarian school. Apart from the female students with their pale, tender, and juicy skin, there was no sign of meat at all!
The Alps had a lot of readily-available ingredients to prepare some exotic delicacies, but there was a huge sign on the canteen’s door stating that every little creature on the mountain was the most adorable little elf. They would be blessed with good luck if they stumbled into the creatures, but if they brought any harm to the creatures, they would find themselves in misfortune!
“I’m utterly impressed by you guys. You don’t eat any meat, so why are your students as tough as nails?” Mo Fan said to Ceylan.
Ceylan was a typical cunning old fox. She would reply gently regardless of the sarcastic comments Mo Fan was throwing at her. It felt like his words did not mean anything, like he was punching some cotton.
“We just put all our attention on cultivating. Seeing how hot-tempered you are, you should actually consider staying here and cultivate for a few months. I believe your demeanor would change significantly after a few months. Why do you think people always think of our students as sacred as a snow lotus herb on Tianshan Mountain? It’s because of our unique management and our determination to eat vegetarian as a way to respect nature. We are friendly, but we aren’t timid,” Ceylan said seriously. The wrinkles on her face stood out when she smiled, but she did not seem to be bothered by them at all.
“Ceylan is right. Our Pearl Institute is located in a busy city. The KTVs, food stalls, and bars are within reach, and are distractions to the students. Those that do not have a firm heart are going to lose their way. We should really be learning from you guys by establishing a new school on Beiyu Mountain. We’ll let the new students spend some time among the verdant hills and limpid water to train their hearts before they set foot in society,” Professor Zheng nodded. He actually admired Alps Institute’s approach!
“Wow, Professor Zheng, do you seriously mean that? I don’t think it’s a bad thing for the school to be located amid feasting and pleasure-seeking places. Didn’t they use to call me the Little Prince of Nightlife, who was extravagant and dissipated? Well, I still made it to the national team after I decided to take my cultivation seriously. Meanwhile, this school’s approach is forcing its students to undergo ascetic practice like a monk. It’s going to cause a backlash soon,” Zhao Manyan said disapprovingly.
“There are different ways of doing it, but being vegetarian is a little overdoing it…” Professor Li loved eating meat and drinking alcohol, too. The reason why he was reluctant to come here was because he knew the school was vegetarian.
It was truly a struggle!
“Not only are they vegetarian, they didn’t even use any oil in their cooking. Ceylan, I’ve indeed learned a lot today. Can you please send two students that are slightly normal to escort us down the mountain tomorrow morning?” Mo Fan had enough of this.
Who said the place was a paradise for men? Paradise my ass!
It was true that most of the students were fair-skinned and beautiful, and possessed of a sacred temperament, yet they were all proud as peacocks. They assumed all men in the world were vile and filthy. He wondered which brainless leader of the school had brainwashed them that way. What year was it? Even the monasteries had Wi-Fi nowadays, yet this place did not even have mobile signal coverage. He could not help but wonder if he had gone back to the Middle Ages!
“Mo Fan, stop complaining so much, we still have to stay here for the exchange program that lasts for a month. We can’t just leave tomorrow,” Professor Zheng sighed.
“A month?” Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan blurted out.
Didn’t they say they were going to pay a quick visit as a part of the official procedures? How did it suddenly become a month now? What kind of joke was this? Not eating meat for a month was worse than being banned from having sex for a month!
“Mo Fan, one of the Magistrates is from Alps Institute. She was the one that planned the exchange program, so we can’t leave yet. If you do well in the program, you might leave the Magistrate with a good impression. It’s going to help you with the trial, too!” Professor Zheng encouraged him.
“A straight foot is not afraid of a crooked shoe,” Mo Fan replied.
“Very well, if you are leaving tomorrow, we’ll be going back to our country, too. Whatever happens here is none of our concern,” Professor Zheng said.
“…Professor Zheng, I thought you were different from Professor Li, the kind that cares a lot about their face,” Mo Fan said.
“What did you say!?” Professor Li immediately cried out. He pointed at Professor Zheng and said, “How dare you compare him with me?”
“Old Li, what do you mean by that? Wasn’t I just following the instructions from the school!?” Professor Zheng grunted.
“Alright, calm down, let’s not argue any further. We’ve already agreed that the exchange is going to last for a month, so no one is going to leave any time soon. Mo Fan, don’t be so stubborn. I know about the situation between you and the Holy Judgment Court. We are willing to lend you a hand. We don’t believe you would murder an innocent Golden Sun Knight,” Ceylan said.
“I believe that too; there’s no way he is strong enough to murder a Golden Sun Knight of the Parthenon Temple,” Heidi said. She had an unusual demeanor. She did not necessarily place herself above the common populace, nor was she incompatible with the rest of the students.
“How did you manage to peel the potatoes until they are so smooth and tender? The chefs here must be very skilled.” Mo Fan picked up a cooked, unseasoned potato slyly.
Heidi did not understand what Mo Fan was alluding to at first, but she eventually remembered Mo Fan had seen her naked after a second thought. She immediately blushed in anger. The silver plates on the table started trembling and rattling…
“Heidi, mind your temper. The loud rumble of the waterfall couldn’t disturb your mind, yet you have failed to stay calm after a few words from Mo Fan. I have now decided that you will accompany our guests at all times during the exchange, and you are not allowed to use any offensive spells without my permission,” Ceylan said to Heidi sternly, frowning.
Ceylan had a rule; no presence of magic was allowed when they were eating. They must be respectful to the food, it was an inviolable gift from nature. Heidi had lost her calm after being provoked by Mo Fan, making her lose control of her Will for a moment.
“Yes, Miss Ceylan…” Heidi immediately lowered her head, knowing that she had broken Ceylan’s taboo.
“Very well, it’s a kind of training for you, too. You are now strong enough, those below the Super Level don’t stand a chance against you, but don’t forget, not all enemies are going to fight you head-on. Some of them might say things or use dirty tricks that are ten times or a hundred times worse than Mo Fan’s words. If you can’t stay calm, your Dimensional Magic will be broken through easily,” Ceylan chided her.
Ceylan was quite friendly, gentle, and controlled to others, but she was a strict mentor when it came to Heidi!
“I will keep it in mind, teacher,” Heidi nodded. Her anger slowly dissipated. She did not say a further word. She enjoyed the vegetable soup, regaining her elegant demeanor.
Mo Fan remained smiling, but Heidi insisted on not looking at his annoying face. Otherwise, she might lose her calm again!
“Miss Ceylan, you are strict on your student’s deportment, too! It is true that a student’s behavior could reflect the inner qualities and teachings of a school. Regarding this, Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan have indeed smudged Pearl Institute’s reputation. We should be ashamed,” Professor Li said.
Li Ximei and Mu Bai chuckled after hearing those words. Professor Zheng was pretty amusing!
“In my opinion, Pearl Institute emphasizes more freedom, and allows the students to cultivate in a relaxing environment. That way, the students are able to display their talents as they please. It is expected to have a few students that are like untameable wild horses, but they also provide the school with a lot of energy,” Ceylan replied courteously.
“Are you done fawning upon one another?” Mo Fan grunted.
“We are actually speaking the truth,” Ceylan replied easily.
“Indeed,” Professor Zheng nodded.
“…Professor Zheng, I seriously think that even though you are not frivolous when talking and joking, you are really the same kind of person as Professor Li. I now understand why you two are the most famous ‘couple’ at our school!” Mo Fan huffed.
“Mo Fan, do you really think I don’t dare to beat you up?” Professor Li glared at Mo Fan.
“Forget what I said. Here, let’s enjoy some vegetables…” Mo Fan shoved a small broccoli into his mouth.
As he thought, the broccoli was only cooked in water! They did not even put any salt on it. The taste was so strange that it felt like he was eating grass. Mo Fan was on the verge of losing his mind, especially when he realized that he would be staying here for a month… why did he bother to believe in Zhao Manyan’s nonsense that they had come here to treat the students with love and tenderness!?
——
The female students went to bed very early at night. Even though the buildings, built in the style of structures from the Middle Ages, were brightly lit, there was no sign of any students in their sexy uniforms in the corridors, the halls, and the leaf-covered paths outside the buildings.
Alps Institute did not accept only Swiss students. As a matter of fact, there were not many Swiss in the school. It recruited its students from all over the world, regardless of their nationality and race. They were a family as soon as they joined Alps Institute. The school was like their country, and the Alps was their religion…
