… continued from here.
And thus they began their Long March to the South, one of the most epical feats in history involving the search of a missing maths tutor.
Burdened by their heavy textbooks and oversized pencil cases, they braved the merciless cold of The Temple‘s aircon as they pressed on, driven by sheer determination and the belief that those blackcurrent-flavoured Sour+ sweets would still be available by the time they reached their objective.
Their perseverance was rewarded at the end of this monumental journey that spanned a massive 15 metres in under half a minute, when they finally caught a glimpse of a classroom unlike any of The Temple’s Four Chambers they have ever seen before.
Like the innocent children that they are not, they took their tentative first steps into this dream-like chamber, and were glad to recognize some familiar stuff, like their favourite comfy chairs, those study charms that have 保佑-ed them through countless killer tests and exams, and even the Faithful Mr Dustbin.
But the scene soon unravelled itself into something different, from the big board on a darkened wall that sucked the living focus out from all their easily-distracted minds:
To the upgraded aircons with the ability to impose Arctic conditions to wake all whose flesh is willing but spirits are weak:
To the new Homework Corner aka 冷宫 where all who spend too much time talking and end up couldn’t finish their work within the alloted joss sticks session get banished to (at no extra charge):
Tears flowed freely from their eyes when they finally spotted that stately jar of blackcurrent-flavoured Sour+ sweets the diminutive maths tutor watching 土豆 preparing for their next joss sticks session at a corner, bringing an emotional end to their journey.
But most importantly, they know they now stand within the cavernous confines of The Temple’s greatest chamber, where acres and acres of rolling carpeted floor await them to prance around and perform their little dances of joy whenever they’ve found the proof in their Plane Geometry questions, where a thousand joss sticks await to be burned and great offensives against the Great Enemy shall be plotted this year.
And this shall be their new tuition home, where all shall attain their Mathematical Nirvana, for this is
*drum rolls*
