However, this sense of team coordination only existed among the six people who had spent the entire day completing the task together.
As for Ning Rongrong, who had given up early on the mission and even spoken rudely, she was now in a state of being excluded.
In fact, Ning Rongrong was well aware of this feeling of rejection, and she didn't like it either.
But as the little princess of her family since childhood, Ning Rongrong still arrogantly believed she had done nothing wrong.
She was the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and the strongest Support-type Spirit Master among her peers. Those Battle Spirit Masters were supposed to protect her while pleasing her.
So now, when Dai Mubai bluntly stated the facts without mercy, Ning Rongrong only snorted coldly. She didn't believe Flender would dare do anything to her.
Just attending this shabby academy was already giving them face — everyone else naturally had to cooperate with her unconditionally.
However, Flender's attitude turned out to be beyond Ning Rongrong's expectations.
Flender first nodded to show he understood and let Dai Mubai return to the team.
Then, with a gloomy expression, he looked at Ning Rongrong and said in a deep voice,"Ning Rongrong, this morning after I assigned the mission, didn't you run only half a lap and then leave the team on your own decision?
Not only that — you went into Soto City to have a big meal, and after wandering for a long time, you only returned to the academy in the afternoon. Is that correct?"
"You followed me?" Ning Rongrong's expression darkened as she glared at Flender.
"So what if I did?" Flender said indifferently, completely unfazed by her glare. "Following you was my duty as the academy's dean, to ensure the students' safety.
Right now, what matters is that I'm asking you a question — what's your answer?"
The last sentence was delivered with a voice so stern that Ning Rongrong's heart involuntarily skipped a beat.
"Hmph! Yes, just as you said. But so what? The mission you assigned wasn't something a Support-type Spirit Master could complete!" Ning Rongrong replied arrogantly, full of disdain.
"Who said a Support-type Spirit Master can't complete it? Oscar is a Food-type Spirit Master.
Even while carrying a heavy load, he managed to run the full distance. Why couldn't you, who had no burden at all, do the same?
And who told you that Support-type Spirit Masters deserve special treatment?
On the battlefield, Support-type Spirit Masters like you — with no combat ability or means of self-defense — are always the primary targets of your enemies' attacks.
Whether your safety is guaranteed depends entirely on whether your teammates are willing to risk their lives to protect you.
I don't know where your sense of superiority comes from, but I do know that with a personality like yours, you'll never have teammates who truly want to protect you.
And I can guarantee this — those who don't genuinely wish to protect you will abandon you the moment a battle turns against them.
After all, when things get dire, a Support-type Spirit Master like you, who can't fight and can't run fast, becomes a burden. And burdens are always the first to be discarded."
Flender's words completely darkened Ning Rongrong's face — perhaps because they hit her deepest taboo.
At this moment, Ning Rongrong became somewhat hysterical."Flender, you're just a small Soul Sage, and I am the daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's master! How dare you speak to me like that!"
"Hmph, what a joke," Flender retorted without mercy.
"You, Ning Rongrong, are only a Level 26 Grand Soul Master, while I am a Level 79 Soul Sage. If I wanted to do something to you, do you think you could resist?
No matter how powerful the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is, I am still the dean of Shrek Academy. You're now a student here, and how I teach my students is none of your sect's concern.
And if your so-called superiority comes solely from your identity, then I truly pity you.
But it makes sense — someone like you, suddenly realizing that the dream you've been weaving for yourself has shattered,
discovering that you're actually the weakest among your peers, and that your once-proud talent is worthless — of course you'd cling to your status for comfort."
"You say my talent is poor?!" Ning Rongrong, her façade completely torn apart, shouted with a twisted expression:
"I possess the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul, a Level Nine Innate Soul Power genius Support-type Spirit Master!
My Spirit Power is lower than these Battle Spirit Masters only because Support-type cultivation is more difficult!
What gives you the right to say my talent is poor!"
"Hmph! Because I've seen Support-type Spirit Masters more talented and hardworking than you," Flender said, still wearing a look of disdain.
"Not only have I seen them — I've seen two. You've seen them too — Oscar and Austine.
Those two brothers both possess Innate Full Soul Power Food-type Martial Souls.
Not only that — when they were twelve, they had already broken through Level 30, becoming Food-type Soul Elders. At that time, Oscar was Level 31, and Austine was Level 32.
Now they're only fourteen, and their Spirit Power has already reached Level 36.
And you? Is that the level you can achieve at their age?"
Flender fixed his gaze firmly on Ning Rongrong as he finished speaking.
"Impossible! How could there be Support-type Spirit Masters with Innate Full Soul Power?" Ning Rongrong murmured blankly, her psychological defenses completely shattered.
"Ning Rongrong," Flender said coldly, "I, Flender, now notify you in the name of Shrek Academy's Dean —
Either you make up for today's training task before class tomorrow,
or you can pack your things and leave. This small temple of Shrek Academy cannot accommodate a great deity like you."
After saying that, Flender no longer looked at her.
At this point, if Ning Rongrong still couldn't wake up, then she truly was beyond saving. Flender would definitely expel her from Shrek Academy.
As she watched the other six, already immersed in the training summary and completely ignoring her, Ning Rongrong finally couldn't hold back anymore — she burst into tears and ran away crying.
Seeing this, a trace of pity flashed across Oscar, Tang San, and Xiao Wu's eyes.
To a twelve-year-old girl, having all the things she once took pride in crushed into worthlessness by Flender in such a short time was utterly devastating.
It could be said that he had completely shattered Ning Rongrong's mental defenses — it was, indeed, a bit too cruel.
Although, given Ning Rongrong's current behavior, Flender's harsh method was completely understandable.
Still, the sound of her crying tugged at their hearts. After all, she was just a child spoiled by her family.
If Oscar, Tang San, and Xiao Wu felt pity for the crying Ning Rongrong, then Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun felt only disdain.
They both let out a mocking "Tch" and were about to add a few more sarcastic remarks when Flender stopped them.
"Enough. What's been said tonight is already harsh enough. Ning Rongrong's nature isn't bad — it's just her upbringing and her family's pampering that made her develop bad habits.
Shrek Academy is a place for education. Anyone who meets the admission standards is a student of this academy.
For students with problems, our duty is to help them correct those problems and help them grow — not to abandon them.
If Ning Rongrong can complete today's task before tomorrow morning's assembly, then give her another chance.
Let her prove with her actions that she deserves to stay, that she has the ability to be your teammate."
Hearing this, Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun realized they had been too extreme.
Everyone makes mistakes — what matters is the ability to change.
Time would prove whether Ning Rongrong was qualified to be their teammate or not.
While Flender continued his moral lesson on one side, the tearful Ning Rongrong happened to bump into Austine, who had just recovered, eating a hamburger while walking toward the training ground.
Seeing the crying Ning Rongrong running straight ahead without even watching the road and almost crashing into him, Austine was a little puzzled at first.
Just as he was about to call out to ask what was wrong, Cowan's words about today's lesson suddenly popped into Austine's mind.
Putting two and two together, he instantly understood what had happened.
"As expected of the dean," Austine thought admiringly. "In just one day, he not only established teamwork between the new and old students,
but also made Ning Rongrong realize her own flaws.
That level of skill… truly impressive."
Supporting Ning Rongrong, who almost bumped into him, Austine looked seriously into her eyes and said:
"If you're wronged and can only cry, that means you've already given in — admitting you're truly inferior to others.
But if you refuse to admit that, then use your own actions to rebuild your pride. Prove to them that you're no worse than anyone else.
If they reject you, it'll be their greatest loss."
After saying that, Austine turned and left.
Ning Rongrong, however, stood frozen in place.
It wasn't that Austine was unwilling to comfort her further — it was that those words were enough to pull her out of her state of humiliation and anger.
Since she no longer risked sinking into self-pity, Austine naturally had no reason to stay.
What Ning Rongrong needed most right now wasn't comfort from others — but quiet reflection to clear her thoughts.
