Reincarnation of the Strongest Healer

Chapter 567: Second Lesson

After hearing Xu Fengʼs reasoning, Allison went into deep thought.

It wasnʼt because she was astounded by his reason, but rather she understood his implication and meaning.

As a professor, she had naturally taught many outstanding students with great academic achievement. Yet not many of them actually did something good to return back to society and instead became quite egoistic.

Of course, they remained respectful when interacting with her, but for other strangers, especially those in the lower bracket, they treated them as no different than ants.

So what if one had great academic achievement?

If one didnʼt even know how to behave with basic decency, what was the point of being brilliant at all?

Allison sighed, her thoughts drifting back to those students, talented yet often oblivious to the weight of true respect. Perhaps that was why Xu Fengʼs perspective resonated with her.

ʼWho would have thought a young man like him could have such insight?ʼ Allison was stunned and startled at Xu Fengʼs thinking.

This wasnʼt simply about knowledge or success; it was about integrity and using oneʼs skills with humility. She realized that Xu Feng valued not only talent but also character— a quality not measured by titles, degrees, or achievements.

”Is this your second lesson for me?” She smiled bitterly and asked. In the first lesson, Xu Feng taught her about fairness, and this second lesson was about character.

”Indeed, Iʼm glad you caught up so quickly. Save me the trouble to explain.” Chuckling, Xu Feng clasped his hands in approval. ”You must always remember that fairness isnʼt about equality, so character must also be properly distinguished. You must identify the situation and what fairness was being conducted before determining the character.”

”Can you explain it in more human language?” This time, Allison was struck with a dilemma, unable to comprehend his meaning. Maybe it was because she had rarely been exposed to such ”fairness” and ”character” that she failed to understand right away.

Realizing his explanation might be a bit too complicated for her to comprehend, Xu Feng adjusted his glasses.

”Take Lightning Blade for example. His character wasnʼt bad, being willing to admit his mistake and accept responsibility, but that doesnʼt mean he is good either.” He said, using the latter as a sample.

”His failure to oversee his cousin and allowing him to run amok meant that he was too kind in his character. Had he been a bit more strict and cold, would Thunder Sword have the nerve to use the Vanguard Guild name to bully others?”

Allison shook her head in response. She got the gist of the situation now and finally realized why Xu Feng reacted in such a manner.

ʼHe feels more like a professor than me.ʼ Feeling quite ashamed of herself, Allison wondered if her principles and teaching had been wrong her entire life.

While Allison had her head lowered, seemingly in deep thought, Xu Feng decided to give her a few minutes to brood it over.

ʼThese two lessons should be enough for now.ʼ He thought, not trying to overwhelm her all at once.

To change one personʼs mindset, one must be patient and take things carefully. Too quick, and their brain might short-circuit. Too slow, and their brain might not be able to comprehend the implications.

It had to be done at a moderate speed while letting them experience it themselves to see what it was like.

Thankfully, Thunder Sword and Lightning Blade came in at a great time for him to use them as examples. Additionally, he could also use this opportunity to cleanse some of the rotten apples in his guild.

The reason he had yet to expand larger for his guild was that too many people would result in too many uncertainties.

But after todayʼs incident, those who are still willing to join should already have a mindset imprinted in what they could and could not do.

Not to mention, he had effectively steered his guild far away from nefarious rumors that his guild was the same as Reaver Guild in terms of conduct and behavior.

Who would still dare to clamor that his Vanguard Guild was bullying others?

The moment they said that, people would instantly paste this news to their faces, and ask if their eyes were okay.

”Anyway, have you finished pondering?” Xu Feng broke the silence and asked. ”Clara is probably searching for us by now, so letʼs not delay any further.

Snapping out of her thought process, Allison remembered about Clara.

Nevertheless, she was still a bit concerned about Lightning Bladeʼs fate. ”Wait, are you going to keep having that Lightning Blade kneel and bow with his forehead?”

”Depends on my mood.”

”Arenʼt you quite heartless then?”

And before Xu Feng could respond, she warned sternly, ”You mentioned fairness and character but with a limit. Right now, you are about to cross that limitation and go into the danger zone.”

Hearing that, Xu Feng merely smiled without giving her a proper response. Instead, he opened the door and exited the room.

”...”

ʼDid he understand what Iʼm trying to imply?ʼ Allison pursed her lips and sighed inwardly.

Sometime later, she headed downstairs and heard Xu Fengʼs declaration.

”Lightning Blade, you are quite lucky that my companion pleaded for your case and that we need a DPS class for our upcoming quest. Are you willing to assist us and hope to regain your merit?”

”Yes, Iʼm willing.” Lightning Blade immediately agreed to the suggestion, feeling grateful. Others might not understand why he was so desperate to remain in the Vanguard Guild, but only those who had experienced what it was like to become an official member would start to understand him.

Not to mention this kind of kneeling, even more outrageous and ridiculous stuff could be done so long as he could escape this plight.

Right after Lightning Blade had a chance to make amends, Clara also arrived at this moment.

Her unannounced presence nearly scared the crap out of many male players who had been on the receiving end of her attack. Unconsciously, they all got off their seats and hid under the table, afraid of even being seen by her.

”Is this really the Divine World experience?” Watching everything unfold, Allison felt her brain being short-circuit.
