283. Suitable Candidates
A gifted little guy doesn't have the nasty habits of aristocratic children... This is Bai Yi's evaluation of this young man, and he can barely be classified as a genius.
This is a genius under the standards of a Voidwalker, and it can be regarded as a pretty good evaluation. However, it is limited to this level of just passing the threshold. To be honest, apart from a few strange things, who in the void isn't that kind of monster-like genius?
In fact, genius is not worth much, as for the legend of promotion in the 20s or something, it is nothing, think about Wentini's greedy stupid girl can do this, and then compare her level and strength... This kind of genius smashed out with money is too common, and they have to wait until they have experienced tempering and removed those impetuousness on their bodies before they can precipitate into real talents.
And Bai Yi is willing to take the initiative to talk to this teenager, in addition to the unique understanding of magic he showed in that key assessment, he also values his simple and down-to-earth temperament, which is rare in teenagers of this age.
"Your name?" Bai Yi asked, and then felt that it was not good to ask like this, especially between two men, so he quickly changed his words: "What's your name?" β
"Joan, Joan. Joseph. "The boys' newspaper has a very popular name, and there are no strange natural phenomena such as being hit by meteorites.
Why does this name sound so much like an embarrassment... You used to be an actor, right? Bai Yi secretly complained, and asked in a crepe manner: "Gao? β
"Being a teacher in a lesser-known college," replied Joseph honestly.
Theoretically, there are no unfamous academies in this world, because there are only so many academies in total, unlike the one on Earth that is full of flowers, from cooking diggers to piloting giant machines and Star Destroyers.
However, there is no problem with the not-so-famous academy, because it is a relatively euphemistic term in the academic world, referring to those that are in decline or have died, such as the Xiansai Academy before Miya and the others are almost in this category.
It is not easy to establish a college, but it is even more difficult to run the college well, it is difficult for the college in the world to eat any policy subsidies and the like, once the management is not good, the capital turnover is not moving, the shortage of funds, the loss of teachers, and the lack of students This vicious circle is a vicious circle that the college is easy to fall into when it is in operation, and it is normal for the college to close down if there are no brave female students who come forward to be idols or drive tanks.
Therefore, if an academy wants to survive well, it must be so awesome that people have nothing to say; Either you have to hold on to the thighs of the royal family, big nobles, and big businessmen, and send them talents every year, so that you can be a good leg hair with peace of mind.
It's just that when the thighs are plucked, it will be miserable, from the follow-up chat with Joseph, Bai Yi has a general understanding of the situation, their academy is called Ivy League, this name almost scared Bai Yi, but the level is far from the Ivy League on the earth. It used to be brilliant for a while, but because the replacement of the leaders of the academy used the most stupid and unreliable inheritance system, it has aged from generation to generation. In the past, he could barely survive on the funding of the Duke of the North, that is, Vidnina's father, but later the Duke became seriously ill and the funding was cut off, and he was reduced to the miserable situation of only more than 30 students and one teacher left, and there was a feeling that the Ivy League school had been transformed into a Hope Primary School.
The teacher who insisted on it to the end was naturally the Joseph in front of him, no wonder he was poor like this, in an academy in this situation, it was strange that he could afford to pay his salary, and it would be good if he didn't post it upside down.
As for the reason why he insisted on it, it was a very bloody story.
Joseph, who was still a small piece of fresh meat, was born in a down-and-out aristocratic family that was no different from a commoner except for a surname, and according to the normal routine, there is often a father in such a family who always fantasizes about the big dream of family revival and wants to put this dream on the child, and after taking away the only valuable thing in the family, Joseph was sent to the Ivy League college, which had the cheapest tuition at that time, and went home to farm.
Joseph was not only gifted, but also very hard-working, studying hard while doing odd jobs in his spare time, so that the hard-working young man was naturally favored by the few remaining professors in the academy, imparting more knowledge to him, and at the same time allowing him to explain the only granddaughter of the dean at the time.
According to the normal routine, the dean naturally sent his granddaughter out on his own initiative, and the two naturally fell in love, like glue, and her wife also brought a daughter to Joseph after he entered the academy to teach in the year he graduated.
Then if the development is still according to the normal routine, Joseph should work hard to run the academy thriving, and then solve various incidents, harvest all kinds of artifacts and treasures, and establish a harmonious crystal palace that will never catch fire as long as the rain and dew are evenly wet, and gradually reach the peak of life.
It's a pity that the template on Joseph's body is still a little short of the protagonist's template after all, as the old dean hung up and handed over the academy to Joseph's wife, the academy inevitably gradually slipped into the abyss, and there were not a few beautiful girls who went out to sing and dance and founded a cult to save the academy, and they chose to change schools one after another.
But this ending has nothing to do with Joseph, he has really worked hard, tried his best, and even still has hope in his heart, he came to participate in the rank recognition this time, the biggest purpose is for a legendary lecturer brand, he hopes that this can win some reputation for the academy, and it is best to hug another thigh or something, no matter how bad it is, he can also use the privileges brought by the certificate to alleviate the financial constraints.
"So why don't you just give up? What keeps you going? Bai Yi asked again.
Joseph shook his head helplessly with a wry smile on his face, but then said in a certain firm tone: "My wife and I made a promise in front of her grandfather that we would never give up the academy!" β
What a stubborn couple... Bai Yi couldn't help but sigh that this seemingly meaningless persistence is always as gorgeous and beautiful as fireworks in the night sky, leaving a little touch, but it is always fleeting in the memories of others.
But fortunately, this time Joseph met Bai Yi, a person who knows how to appreciate the beauty of perseverance and also needs to recruit a large number of teachers, so Bai Yi patted him on the shoulder and said, "When this side is over, I will invite you to have a drink." β
"Thisβ" Joseph looked at him with some bewilderment.
"I've listened to your story, so you should listen to me, right?" With a smile in his words, Bai Yi turned around and went to participate in the rest of the assessment.
Joseph, who stayed where he was, was stunned, and then shook his head vigorously, he wondered why he was chatting about these things with the people he met for the first time, or on such an occasion... Is it because I think his name is very popular? Hopefully, this is indeed what he is trying to chase.
And Bai Yi said in the void: "I have to repeat again, the trickster's secret techniques are always so effective against this kind of hot-blooded young man!" When I look back at his details, I think this kid should be able to be a teacher, and his academic standards should be pretty good, and he looks quite honest, and he is married and has a daughter. β
"It seems that the focus is on the latter condition...", the soul armor envoy said a little helplessly, "but are you sure he can accept your strange students?" And the various Muppet colleagues in the plan? β
"Huh? Shouldn't this come out of your mouth? Bai Yi heard that it was the soul armor envoy who spoke, and asked a little strangely: "You, who are inspired to become a little beast trainer, actually dislike my students?" β
"It's because I'm in the minority that it's worth caring about, okay?" The Soul Armor Envoy said helplessly.
"There's nothing to care about, he can even accept that status quo, and he can't accept a few students from the Department of Flora and Fauna?" Bai Yi said confidently.
Looking back, the final evaluation has been completed, the forms stamped with various styles of pork stamps have also been collected, and the results will be announced the next day, and then the relevant certification tasks will be released, and the certification process will be finally concluded after a wave of free labor is squeezed by the Mage Association.
Bai Yi was not in a hurry to leave, and after waiting at the exit for a while, Joseph came out, and at this time it was already past noon, and Bai Yi invited him to the tavern set up at the headquarters of the Mage Guild as promised.
Joseph ordered a few pieces of the cheapest bread, no drinks and drinks, and after swallowing it dryly, he looked at Bai Yi with some confusion and asked, "I hope Your Excellency, you... Mental suggestion was used on me? β
Actually aware of it? The young man is very sharp... Bai Yi said secretly, but he denied it: "How is it possible? I'm not that kind of person, what's more, with your legendary strength, will you not be able to detect it? β
Of course, he didn't use his spirit to suggest such an ineffective simple trick, but some kind of high-end and more subtle illusion.
"I'm sorry... I beg your pardon for my rudeness. Joseph hurriedly apologized solemnly: "It's just the first time we meet, I always feel that you are very kind..."
"That's because we're in the same profession, and I'm currently a teacher at an unknown college." Bai Yi replied, "But... We're a little bit different from each other. β
With this remark, Bai Yi gave him a brief explanation of the current situation of his students.
"Alas... The legendary Xiansai Academy, which has been passed down for more than 2,000 years, has it actually reached this point? Joseph sighed with feeling.
