The Cold Door Hero

Summary

A group led by Magistrate Jiang Da Dao, known as "Jiang Big Blade," visits Lushan Academy. Jiang, a robust but rough man, is accompanied by several officials, including the academy chief, Li Da Guang, who flatters him excessively. Students react with suppressed laughter at Jiang's appearance, while Yao Ding, the true authority of the academy, remains cold and unwelcoming. Jiang expresses his concern over the academy's martial training facilities and announces new policies for the upcoming county examination, emphasizing martial skills over academic performance. This decision alarms students who fear they won't have enough time to prepare. Jiang also mandates participation in the Tongzi Martial Assembly, threatening students' eligibility for the examination. Following Jiang's departure, students discuss the implications of his policies, with some supporting the focus on martial skills while others, like Li Yan Qing, criticize Jiang's ulterior motives. Amidst the chatter, students express their worries about their martial abilities and future prospects, while planning to visit the bookstore for study materials.
