Playing and chatting at the same time, the short time passed quickly. Before noon, the train had already stopped steadily in the train station of the imperial capital.

Although I have already had the experience of interning in other big cities in the past, the huge scale of the Imperial Capital Station still scared everyone. More than a dozen stops and transit stations, the tide of people and the trains shuttling through the crowd all reveal the huge population behind the city.

Originally the most populous city on the continent – and with the annual Summer Solstice Festival just around the corner, visitors from all over the world have been flocking here in recent days to take part in the spectacle and revelry rarely seen on the western continent.

Interning in such a situation must be troublesome - Helriga instinctively felt so.

Because whether it is in Liber or Crossbell, as long as it is this kind of festival where everyone is happy and lively together, there will always be "association" people who come out to make trouble.

Although this time it probably won't...... But in Olibat's last reminder, there was still something that made Heiliga feel concerned.

It's not entirely certain—but it's said that there are already terrorist groups operating within the empire. When Group A was interning in the Norde Plateau, they met a mysterious man who was a member of the terrorists, and used the power of ancient relics to manipulate the monsters to fight them.

Therefore, since the other party has already intended to take action, and in words and deeds, it seems that it is aimed at the reformists and the "iron-blooded prime minister" - then this summer solstice festival in the imperial capital of the reformists' base camp will undoubtedly be an excellent time to make trouble.

So when Captain Claire brought the two groups into the conference room of the railway gendarmerie, Mayor Regnitz, who came to announce the assignment - by the way, this mayor Regnitz was not only the father of Class VII classmate Macchias, but also one of the three permanent directors of the school, so the assignment of the internship was incumbent, and when Macchias found out about this, his expression became very exciting - his expression seemed to be very hurried, as if he had something important to do.

"Could it be that there is something wrong with the Imperial Capital Hall?" Heliga leaned closer to Claire, "I feel like he's nervous." ”

"yes...... There has been a lot of pressure on security lately. Because the scope of the Summer Solstice Festival affected the entire imperial capital, I had to be transferred to the entire imperial capital to defend the entire imperial capital. Claire didn't hesitate to exchange information with Helriga, "I can't help him much...... However, Lord Regniz is very skillful, and even without my help, he should be able to accomplish it easily. ”

"So...... Isn't the terrorist threat groundless? Claire's words confirmed the validity of Heiliga and Olivebart's concerns.

"Yes...... You listened to His Highness Olibat, right? Claire thought for a moment and easily concluded, "Huh...... I'm going to let the students in Group VII know about it, but at least for now, it's still secret information...... Please keep it a secret from everyone for the time being, okay? ”

"Wait, you're not ......" Helriga heard Claire say - was this a hint that Class VII was involved in the security efforts to stop terrorist activity?

"You two, what are you whispering?" Alyssa, who is also a classmate in Group B and is also the leader of the group, looked very unhappy, "It's time to go." ”

“…… See you later. Seeing this, Claire simply gave a military salute and stepped aside.

"Cut...... Confused past. Helliga pursed her lips, not dwelling on it - probably in the minds of her classmates, she was just talking casually to Claire, right? After all, the appearance of the iceberg beauty is really difficult to talk to, so the boys are probably very envious, and the girls' feelings are very complicated.

"It's the same over there." Group A and Group B, each with their respective envelopes of internship content, encouraged each other, and set off along both sides of Imperial Capital Street.

————————————————————————————

The content of the internship is much the same – for those who have had internship experience before. It has to be said that these people who are responsible for providing internship tasks are either school directors or high-level leaders in business and politics everywhere - both the selection of materials and the intensity of the tasks are just right - neither people are unable to persevere, nor can they be easily solved. And while completing the internship, you can always learn something new. After a few hours, everyone was tired and thought about the things they encountered during the internship.

But—apparently none of these missions took into account Heiliga's sense of involvement. Whether it is assisting in the management of the market or helping the handicraft delivery of handicrafts in the handicraft store, it is not a tangible experience for Hailiga. Most of the time, he just stood there and put on a show.

What really caught his attention was a newsletter during the lunch break.

"Meet at the entrance of Santa Astraya Ladies College? Five o'clock in the afternoon? Okay, I see. Sitting at a fast-food restaurant next to the Imperial Capital Plaza, Alyssa played with the fish and chips in front of her while listening intently to the communication.

"Women's college?" Jusis frowned, "What are you doing there?" ”

"What's that?" Gaius is still humbly learning the traditions of the empire, and it is his good habit to ask questions if he doesn't understand.

"Santa Astraya...... It is the most prestigious academic district in the imperial capital, and the old women's college in the Sankete District...... It was home to the majority of the country's aristocratic women, with the aim of cultivating excellent women who conformed to the traditional values of the empire...... That's pretty much it. ”

"I've heard that grades are very demanding...... It's more than Tolz. Emma said on the sidelines, apparently inquiring.

"However, with the results of the class president and Alyssa, it should still be easy to apply." Gaius nodded, indicating that he understood.

"Didn't you hear him?" An aristocratic woman who conforms to the traditional values of the Empire. Heliga snorted, "Values...... It's nothing more than the rotten operation of the aristocratic faction. ”

“…… Are you the same as Macchias? Alyssa looked surprised, she and Helliga didn't usually communicate much. However, she still knew that Hailiga's family was from an aristocratic background. It's just that I didn't expect that Heiliga also seems to have a negative attitude towards the aristocracy.

"It's not like him...... His prejudice against the aristocratic faction has reached the point of making something out of nowhere. Heiliga denied, "I'm not like him...... I'm just trying to get things done. Whether it is a decadent aristocracy or a radical reformer, they are the same fools. Alyssa, leave this question to you. "For me, it's always the women who are independent and have their own ideas that are the most attractive – not the empty shells that have been cultivated by those cumbersome etiquette." ”

"This is also biased." Jusses put forward his opinion, Heiliga is obviously not the stunned kind of Macchias, and in the case of quarrels, Jusses cannot be pressed against Macchias, "There are good parts in the traditional etiquette of the nobility...... I know your family probably doesn't pay much attention to that, and that's fine...... But that doesn't negate its full value. ”

"A person's character and ability are determined by his experience, his upbringing, and his education—and in this respect, the increasingly cumbersome etiquette education is indeed a bit of a drag on the development of the empire." Helliga smiled, "At least simplify it." ”

"Well, there's an internship ...... in the afternoon," Emma said weakly, and although both Helliga and Jusses seemed restrained and calm when they communicated, Emma still felt a little worried.

But in fact, her worries were unfounded. In Heliga's eyes, Jusses was simply an ignorant boy - he could not understand his own words without having experienced his own things. As for Jusses...... I believe that the students who have seen Cedric's fear of Heliga will not take the initiative to provoke such a strong person who does not know where to go.

"Squad leader—actually, this question involves you as well." However, Heiliga did not mean to end the topic, "It stands to reason that as a student with excellent grades, the women's college has better teachers and facilities. Of course, I know you'd say you're irreplaceable for your experience in Tolz – but objectively speaking, the question of origin made you screen out at the first level, didn't you? ”

"......" Emma was silent.

Of course, even so, the squad leader can only accept this, because no matter what, she can't subvert this class gap, even if it sounds unfair. And what about you, Alyssa? ”

"Me?" Alyssa apparently didn't expect the muzzle of the gun to suddenly turn to her, and looked a little surprised.

"yes—it's not as long as it is to work, but your grades must be very high." Heliga nodded, "It should be enough for you to apply here." But there is no doubt that even if the "RF Society" is a new modern group with a huge influence on society, because of the identity gap, you will be rejected by them from the door, you understand this, right? ”

"yes...... How? ”

"—though I know you chose to escape from your home on your own." As soon as Helliga said this, the other two except Gaius, who looked dazed, immediately couldn't help laughing, "But you have to admit that if someone is in a situation with you, you may be indignant at this unfair situation, right?" ”

“…… Well, yes...... And unlike Emma, if it were me, I could...... Ah......h

"Yes...... "RF Society" has money, social influence, and can substantively shake the basic foundation of the country - if a situation like the one just now arises, and another eldest lady with the same conditions chooses to resist - this is called "class struggle". And the example we are talking about now is the new capital against the old and outdated feudal aristocracy – in the final analysis, it is because of the development of guiding technology that has increased the productive capacity of the whole society. ”

"Is it 'class struggle' and 'development of the productive forces'......" The rest of the people savored this sentence and pondered the meaning behind it.

"Class solidification - the core of this kind of thinking is that people do what they want. In such a society, there will be people who regret not having talents, and there will also be fools who have to be in a high position even though they are incapable - in the long run, the weakening of national strength is inevitable. In that sense, although I also think that Macchias is sometimes too aggressive...... But it's true that the empire is a real aristocratic oppressive structure. Even if there were people of integrity among the aristocracy - that can't be denied, can it? ”

"......" Yusis was silent, apparently deep in thought.

"However, if you are only rich, you may not be able to overthrow the aristocratic class." Gaius asked his question, "If I'm not mistaken...... The aristocracy had their own private army. ”

"yes...... The military is a violent apparatus used to maintain stability. So unless the whole country is in turmoil, it will be difficult to change such an increasingly locked structure. That's why I don't like reformers...... Reasons not to like Prime Minister Osborne. He deliberately stirred up disputes and riots, inciting such antagonistic sentiments in an attempt to bring the empire out of the cycle of aristocratic rule – but in the end, he hurt many people. Is the empire's aggression against the surrounding countries and autonomous states really a good thing? ”

"So it seems that the civil war ...... It seems inevitable. Emma whispered the conclusion.

"yes...... Now it doesn't look right. Heliga nodded, Emma's reaction was still very fast, and she grasped the main point that Heliga wanted to express, "When exactly will it happen...... I don't know. ”

"You know that...... Did you study political science? "Jusses is not talking to Heliga in an argumentative manner at all. Although he knew that if his brother Lufas came in, he might be able to argue with this guy, but he didn't have the ability, and he was almost convinced. He got to the heart of the matter.

"Sort of...... It's mostly personal experience. Heliga is talking about Bernardo's dealings with the rulers of Tamriel, of course, "My father had a correspondence with a tutor at the Imperial Capital School of Politics, and I read a lot of it. It's also a bit regrettable to say that my father said that he had stopped writing with him since sometime a few years ago. ”

"What a pity...... However, I seem to understand something...... Politics is a complicated thing. Alyssa thoughtfully, "Thanks, Helriga...... These words are instructive. ”

"Just talk about it." Heliga scratched her head.

"Hmph...... That guy should be allowed to listen to it too. Jusis snorted coldly, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "If you can learn a trick and a half, you won't choke on me every time you debate." ”

"Huh...... The relationship between the two of them is really good. Even during the internship, don't you forget about Macchias? Emma laughed, her cheeks flushed for some reason, as if she had thought of something stimulating.

"Hmph...... Nothing. And Jusses's reaction stimulated Emma's reaction even more.

"What's going on......?" Gaius, who was originally a little thoughtful, looked at the strange expressions of his classmates and fell into a state of doubt.
