Chapter 90: The Importance of Rules
"Hello Dear Master of Ceylon, I am the first-class teaching assistant of the Ceylon Academy. ”
The bespectacled youth respectfully introduced himself to the Master of Ceylon.
There are three levels of teaching assistants in Ceylon, and the first-level teaching assistant is the most junior teaching assistant, so it is natural that as a young teaching assistant with very little qualifications, he is not known by Ceylon.
"Hello. ”
"Master Ceylon, the main reason why I have delayed your work in my busy schedule is-"
"No need to be polite, just get to the point. ”
"Good...... Good. The young man was stunned for a moment and continued.
"I was in charge of the monthly examination of this class of freshman apprentices, and during the examination process, I met a very strange apprentice, his fireball spell casting speed is exceptionally slow, and he can't get any points on the spell casting speed at all, but the strange thing is that the power of his fireball spell is extremely large. ”
Speaking of the word unusual, the young man in glasses frowned slightly, perhaps he felt that such a word could not fully and accurately express his meaning and was a little confused.
"And what about the end? What kind of score did you give this apprentice?"
Ceylon finally looked away from the case in front of him, and looked up at Kabuen.
It was the first time that Kabun had seen the eyes of the Master of Ceylon so closely, and as rumored had been, they were a pair of eyes that at first glance looked like they had no pupils, but they did not give the impression that they were blind.
Something's staring at you anyway.
"Oh. "I'll give him a regular score, because his casting speed is too slow, so the overall score is still not good, even though he does everything else." ”
"Good. ”
Ceylon said with satisfaction.
I didn't expect that my simple words would attract the praise of the master of Ceylon, which made Ka Buen directly stunned.
"Master Ceylon, what do you mean?"
"I'm just saying that you're doing a good job, and if you give this apprentice a high score for being excellent in other aspects, then I'll be quite disappointed in you, and that kind of rating won't be recognized by me. ”
Kabun: "......"
"There is no need to show a surprised expression, in fact, your job is quite important, the invigilator in charge of grading like you can be said to be able to decide the future of the apprentice from a certain point of view, if even you can't be fair and just, then Ceylon College must not have the slightest fairness and justice at all, you must understand that as a first-level teaching assistant, you will be selected for this position, precisely because you are more special. ”
Ceylon's words were clearly a compliment to Kabun's principle, but by this time, Kabunn had slowly recovered from his panic at the first sight of the Ceylon master, and he had regained his composure and sanity.
"Thank you, Master Ceylon, for your appreciation, but I have come here precisely for the words you just said. ”
"You mean fairness and justice?"
Ceylon raised an eyebrow.
"Yes. ”
"Tell me what you think. ”
"If the grading rules are determined in advance, the apprentice's grades are naturally unqualified, and I, as the invigilator, will of course give the correct evaluation, but after giving him a failed evaluation, I am thinking about the question, is our unqualified conclusion really fair?"
"So your consciousness is that this rating is really unfair to that apprentice?"
"Yes. "Kabun is no longer so polite:" This scoring rule is certainly reasonable for most people, but if there are some more extreme individuals, I think it is necessary to allow exceptions, because the power of that apprentice's fireball technique really amazed me, I don't know how he did it, and I don't understand why he can't reduce the power for the sake of speed, but I think this apprentice has some kind of extraordinary understanding or ability for magic, otherwise he can't do such an extraordinary thing, I think maybe he should be given an exception. ”
"Exceptions?"
Ceylon raised his brow, and his eyes, which looked all white, suddenly shot out with an astonishing light.
"It seems that you don't understand the importance of the so-called rules at all. ”
Ceylon shook his head, looking a little disappointed.
"The original meaning of the rule is that there are no exceptions. ”
"Rules are the framework used to constrain behavior, the measuring instrument used to evaluate the scale, it is not a human being, it has no feelings, it only needs standards and scales, the reason why people trust the rules is because of these qualities, if everyone knows that there is a thing called 'exception' in addition to the rules, then is it equivalent to telling everyone that in a certain situation there is no need to follow the rules, but only to find the so-called 'exception'?"
Kabun was silent.
His silence did not mean that he approved of what Ceylon had said, and he felt that Ceylon's words at first glance sounded reasonable, but there still seemed to be loopholes.
In short, I was a little unconvinced.
However, this kind of disobedience is obviously no longer suitable for expression in such a situation, as long as there is still a little bit of what is called 'emotional intelligence'.
"What's that apprentice's name?"
I don't know if Ceylon guessed the idea of the assistant teacher in front of him, and seeing that Kabun was silent, he didn't continue to dwell on the previous topic.
"Al. ”
"Is him again?"
"Master of Ceylon, do you know him?"
"Of course I do. Ceylon's face was a little subtle: "Honestly, this is the name of the freshman apprentice I've heard the most lately, and it even makes me want to meet him." ”
The Master of Ceylon meets a freshman apprentice?
Kabun couldn't help but have a strange expression on his face.
Isn't that a bit of a fuss?
You must know that Ceylon is not an ordinary president of the Academy of Magic, he not only named the Ceylon Academy after him, but also the senior reviewer of the most authoritative mage journal "Law Core", a senior academician of the Imperial ** Division Academy, the head of the Owen District of the Mage Association, and has a series of similar titles.
It is as inconceivable that such a big man would go out of his way to meet an apprentice in an academy as if the emperor had named a farmer with a little fame in a country.
