Chapter Seventy-One: Xavier Academy for Gifted Youth

Xavier Academy for Gifted and Talented Youth, a very young private academy that is only 10 years old, is said to have been built by a seriously ill old man with his legacy in memory of one of his benefactors, that is, the sideways bust of the bald old man on the school crest, believed to be the so-called benefactor Charles Francis Xavier.

This academy, as the name suggests, is an academy for teenagers who are only "gifted".

The Swiss canton of Bang Bern, located in the north of the Alps, blocks the warm air from the Mediterranean Sea in southern Europe, but the warm and humid air currents of the Atlantic Ocean from the west make the climate here generally warm in winter and cool in summer.

In March in Bern, the temperature is only about 5C, but this temperature can't stop the love of beauty - for example, the 17-year-old girl, Natalia Vladimirovna Poklonskaya, is a deep and attractive mercerized cotton blue lace-up slim dress, with a khaki check women's shoulder bag, making the blonde and blue-eyed Natalia look a special youthful vitality and daily leisure.

A pair of slender and straight legs exposed to the air of 5C, powerfully supporting the curve of the buttocks above, after all, this temperature is not enough for Natalia, a Rakshasa (East Slavic nation) girl from the Crimean region of Ukraine!

The young girl, full of youthful atmosphere, walked to a dark door on the fourth floor of the main building of the college with a very rhythmic step, stretched out her hand and knocked on the door.

"Please come in!"

Inside the door, a mixed French with a Slavic accent sounded a little strange - in fact, the French pronunciation of the dean had become a characteristic sign of the college.

Pushing open the door, Natalia saw Mr. Anatoly Cherdenko, a somewhat short and fat Cossack old man, whose hair was a little gray, but he was in good spirits, with droopy bags and slender eyes outlining the shape of an inverted triangle, which was pregnant with a gloomy edge, with flying eyebrows and feet, and a compelling look in his words and deeds.

"Aha! Dear Natalia! He said, "How's it going?" ”

"Honestly, it's a bit bad." Natalia shrugged, "The Anxi Army of the Chinese Federation is assembled on the Eastern Front...... It's too close to my hometown. ”

"Ah, yes." Anatoly touched the gray beard on his chin, "But don't worry, they won't hit the Ukrainian state." ”

So Natalia's big, eye-catching and beautiful eyes looked at Anatoly.

Somewhat uncomfortable to see by those big eyes, Anatoly couldn't help but put down his pen...... With chocolate, he put his hands together on the table and put on a very serious look, "Well, Natalie, you know, I used to be in the army, I was a colonel, and until now, I still have some well-informed sources......"

Natalia raised an eyebrow, "Huh? ”

"Okay, okay," Anatoly breathed, "Actually, the deal between the EU and the Chinese Federation is almost negotiated. ”

“…… Trade? A sense of foreboding rushed over Natalia's mind.

"Yes, the deal." Anatoly pinched another piece of chocolate, and some fat fingers deftly crawled through the outer layer of tin foil, "The peace bombs of the Chinese Federation, intercontinental long-range strategic missiles, and space-based weapons all show that the Chinese Federal Republic has the ability to destroy the EU. ”

He placed the chocolate in the palm of his hand and quietly observed its appearance.

"So the EU has no confidence to fight at all, and the courage of those parliamentarians has long been exhausted, and at this time, the Chinese Federation has extended an olive branch in a timely manner - their propaganda states that this is a revenge war, and they only want Siberia - because the Chinese Federation does not want to fight, because if it is insisted on fighting, although it can win, the cost is too great, and the consequences are too bad, which they are not happy to see."

Speaking of which, Anatoly looked at Natalia.

"So what's going on with the current Siberian campaign?" Natalia asked, puzzled, "...... Oh! When she said this, she suddenly seemed to realize something, "No! How could they! How can they! ”

"Yes, it's hard to explain." Anatoly's somewhat chubby face lifted a disdainful smile, "If you don't fight, you will directly cut the ground and tear the ground, what is this?" Aren't the old councillors traitors? Therefore, if we fight a war, we can not only probe the bottom of the Chinese Federation, but also make an account of the citizens, and when the people set off anti-war demonstrations and demonstrations, won't the legislators have a step down? And in this way, the loss of Siberia is no longer the responsibility of the government, but the will of the people! The will of the people! ”

The smile on Anatoly's face became worse and worse, "It was the people who urged the government to abandon Siberia, and the law does not blame the people, does it?" Dear Miss Natalia. ”

Public opinion? Public opinion!

Citizens have freedom of opinion, association, publication, and demonstration...... This seems to mean that the people are opposed to the government, and that the people's restraint on the government puts power in a cage, but in fact, in political activities, the so-called "public opinion" is just a card, and it is not a hole card, it is a card in the hands of those real power players, and it is a means of communication between interest groups. Today Sakuraishi Energy Group can use the slogan of "green environmental protection" to crack down on non-Sakuraishi Energy Group, and tomorrow arms dealers can use the concept of "freedom to carry guns" to defend their interests.

This is public opinion! The trend of interests is the direction of public opinion!

Natalia was already covering her mouth with her hands at this time, surprised...... And disgusting.

"And what exactly are they fighting?" She was angry, she was trembling, she was questioning.

"What else could it be? A play, a script is almost a drama that has been arranged. Anatoly replied in a frivolous tone, "A war of pretense! ”

And what about all the people who died in this war? Natalia asked.

"Okay, let's not talk about the troubles for now," Anatoly tilted his body and interrupted Natalia's question in a lazy manner, he reached into the drawer under the table and felt it, and then pulled out a folder, "Natalie, what are your future intentions after graduation......" He flipped through the paper, "Well, I hope to apply for the University of Sciences Po in France?" Legal profession? His eyes glanced at Natalia, and the sharp look in her eyes made her a little uneasy.

“…… Well, yes. She staggered her gaze, "I'm interested in the legal system. ”

Anatoly let out an "oh", as if noncommittal.

After a long pause, just as Natalia was about to ask, Anatoly spoke up, "Natalie, I think you can choose a more conservative option. ”

"You also know," he hesitated, then continued, "that a key professional college like this, which is designed to train future members of politics, is no longer something that can be entered with good grades—there are smart people in this world, but they don't want smart people, but people who can provide benefits. ”

"What you can bring to them, then what they can bring to you. Natalie, your chips...... It's not enough. ”

Natalia lowered her head and pursed her lips.

Anatoly saw it in his eyes and felt pain in his heart, so he said: "Now EU, it is no longer the era when you can win success with hard work and intelligence, Natalie." Now people are not concerned about struggle, hard work, justice, sacrifice, dedication, but selfish freedom, solipsistic democracy, lazy fairness, prevarication responsibility, and jingle coins. ”

Natalia thought for a moment, "So Mr. Anatoly, do you have any suggestions?" ”

Anatoly pondered, "Natalie, if you insist on politics—even in the judicial system—my suggestion is that you can minor in the field of Federal Affairs, and in the foreseeable future, fields related to the Federal Republic of China are destined to be popular, and now is your chance to seize the opportunity." When you finish your studies, you can consider going to the Chinese Federation for further study to get first-hand information, which will also become your political capital in the future. ”

Natalia walked a little irritating, leaving the dean's office, leaving the main building of the college, and walking towards the college gate.

As she walked, her mind pondered the war.

She was naturally resentful and hostile to the invader of the Chinese Federation, which launched this war, but the actions of the EU federal government also made her disdainful and ashamed.

Mr. Anatoly's words were thrown like a stone into the lake of her heart, and they set off waves, and now they never ceased, and they troubled her head.

War is a continuation of politics, she whispered to herself in her heart.

When Natalia walked out of the academy gate, she suddenly felt something, stopped, and looked back.

On the left side of the steel fence gate, on the wall made of rock, there is a round bronze school emblem.

In the center of the school emblem, there is a sideways bust of a bald old man, his deep eyes are staring into the distance, ethereal and far-reaching, the corners of his mouth are slightly pursed to make him look a little serious, the square chin highlights the fortitude of a mature man, and the full forehead and the perfect skull curve seem to show his brain full of wisdom.

And on the edge of the upper and lower semicircles of the school emblem, a string of letters is engraved in Yangwen:

x**ier-school-for-gifted-youngsters(l‘école-de-jeunes-xavier-génie).

"Gifted Teen ......," Natalia whispered, "we...... What kind of 'talent' do you have? ”

In fact, this is what Natalia is most puzzled about.

Xavier Academy for Gifted Youth, according to the school, only admits "gifted" teenagers.

- But what kind of talent is it?

Natalia doesn't think she's a stupid person, but she doesn't have anything to do with a lot of intelligence. Although there are indeed a few IQ geniuses in the academy, they are not in the mainstream.

So, what kind of talent is it?

When Natalia was 10 years old, Dasha Fedorovich, the head of the Xavier Academy's student office, came to her door and had a long conversation with Natalia's parents, and she went to school — something that happened to most of the college's students.

In fact, one of the major events of the college every year is the recruitment of students—a search for students all over Europe by some mysterious standard of the academy itself.

What is the secret of this academy?

Seeing Natalia leave, Anatoly's eyes lit up with a touch of gold, and the invisible and qualitative telekinetic power locked the door of the dean's office.

He pushed the chocolate aside, reached into the drawer he had just opened, and telekinetically opened the box with a one-sided lock, pulling out a notebook.

Opened it, turned a few pages, and Anatoly found what he was looking for-

hataльr Влaдnmpoвha Пokлohckar (Natalia Vladimirovna Poklonskaya).

He picked up a pencil, scribbled out a "c" at the end of the line, and wrote a "b".

After doing all this, Anatoly put away his pen and stared at the void in front of him, obviously distracted, not knowing what to think.

Suddenly, he chuckled.

Because of the fall of the Rakshasa State, all the files will be untestimonial, and his status as a "colonel" will no longer be flawed.

A big stone that had been pressing on his heart for a long time finally fell, and Rao Yi's city government couldn't help but feel happy.

- The mood is really good.

And on the wall behind him, there is also a school emblem of Xavier College.

Professor Xavier has his eyes on the future.

Xavier Academy for Gifted Youth.

This academy, as the name suggests, is an academy for teenagers who are only "gifted".

- Brain potential.
