The class ended quickly, but the students' presentations were not yet over. So Agrede stood on the podium and said to the students, "Classmates, it seems that this last lesson will need to be repeated a few more times. I am very impressed with all of your work. Let's continue the presentations next class. Next week at the same time, I will appreciate the art of language with you."

So all the students stood up and bowed respectfully to Agreed, then reluctantly left the classroom. After all the students had left, Xuan Yuan Muze rushed up and asked impatiently, "What's going on? What are you all doing?"

Agreed explained to him, “This is the final assignment for the General Language course. We assign this assignment when the students have their first class, and they have twelve years to complete it. They have twelve years to understand and write their own literary works. During these twelve years, we will guide them to appreciate poetry and literature, read literary works, and learn about history to create a better future. This is also the only assignment for the General Language course.”

Xuan Yuan Muze asked, puzzled, "Why did you set up this segment?"

Agreed continued, “Just like how your hometown uses exams to test children’s mastery, we also use this assignment to examine children’s mastery of the common language. Actually, I think this is more meaningful. Instead of making them memorize other people’s things, it’s better to let them create their own.”

I don't really care whether the children can remember the works of past poets and writers. Honestly, my friend, if they truly love those works, they'll memorize them perfectly without you forcing them. Instead of making them memorize, let them write their own. This is our universal language class. Our philosophy is: 'Not everyone can become a great artist, but great artists can come from every corner of the world.' Reflect on this, my friend; this is your life! In fact, many literary masters and timeless works originated from schools in this land of many races. Frankly, I feel incredibly proud whenever I talk about this.”

After hearing this explanation, Xuan Yuan Muze fell into a long silence. Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming increasingly awkward, Agreed put his arm around Xuan Yuan Muze's shoulder and said, "Alright, stop thinking about those messy things. Didn't we agree to go on a home visit together tonight? Let's go!"

Without further ado, Agreed led Xuanyuan Muze through a spatial portal to the residential area where the student lived. The two then used navigation to arrive at the family they were going to visit.

Agreed politely rang the doorbell, and the lady of the house opened the door. Knowing it was a home visit, she greeted him warmly, "Is this Mr. Ethan? Welcome, please come in."

This family's race is 'trolls', so the furnishings in their home are enormous for humans. The troll couple had also prepared furniture and food suitable for entertaining humans.

After entering the house, Agred exchanged a few pleasantries with the couple. Then, in the living room on the first floor, Agred sat down with Xuanyuan Muze in front of the troll couple. Agred then got straight to the point and said, "Parents of Bisheni (the student's name), I'm here today to find out why Bisheni transferred to the Thirteenth Compulsory School. Is there any special reason?"

Upon hearing this question, the troll couple immediately looked troubled. The woman then said somewhat awkwardly, "Teacher, we don't really know why the child transferred schools. You should ask him yourself when he gets home."

Agreed nodded and said, "You're right. So let me do a household survey. In your home... there haven't been any violent incidents, have there?"

The question instantly plunged the troll couple into an icy abyss; they trembled with fear and hastily denied it.

"That's absolutely not true, teacher. Please investigate thoroughly. We are all law-abiding citizens. We would never hit a child, and there would never be any domestic violence. Our child's transfer has nothing to do with us."

Xuan Yuan Muze was baffled by the troll couple's tense reaction. Moreover, given the nature of the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Races, Xuan Yuan Muze had a feeling that domestic violence was a serious matter that could lead to execution.

Just as Xuanyuan Muze was lost in thought, Agreed quickly spoke up to reassure him, "I was just joking. Don't get too worked up. Rest assured, I know you are both very kind parents, and Lingzi is watching closely. If there were any problems, it wouldn't be my place as a mere teacher to interfere." Agreed even gave a slight, narrowed smile, which Xuanyuan Muze felt implied: 'The Kingdom of Ten Thousand Races is watching you. Even if you have such thoughts, you'd better behave yourselves!'

At that moment, a troll youth, much smaller than the couple, pushed open the door and walked into the living room. He shouted, "Mom, I'm home! When is dinner? My stomach is growling."

At this moment, Agreed turned to look at him, then asked with a smile, "You're Bisheny, right? I'm your moral education and life skills teacher, my name is Ethan. I'm here today to find out why you transferred schools. Would you like to talk about it?"

Bisheny clearly recognized Agred. He immediately stood up straight respectfully, bowed to Agred, and said, "Of course, Professor Ethan. It's such a surprise that you came. Let's go to my room to talk. My parents are quite reserved here. Let's talk alone."

Agreed readily agreed to the proposal, and then took Xuanyuan Muze to Bisheni's bedroom. There, Bisheni took out a photograph and handed it to Agreed, saying, "Professor Ethan, this is why I transferred schools. I accidentally photographed the current Minister of Education, Mr. Bruce Blainey, using his position to give his children special treatment at the school, and using the excuse of building a temporary office to occupy the school's public land to build a luxurious extra residence for himself. At the same time, many students at the school are children of Ministry of Education officials, and basically, the treatment of students on campus is completely stratified."

Therefore, it's a pipe dream for students to expect fair treatment at school. Furthermore, our school frequently engages in arbitrary fee collection, the cafeteria food is inferior to that of other schools, and…”
