Chapter 2 Seeing a True Genius and Knowing His Insignificance
Xiao Feng sighed lightly, although it was only lunch time, but after just a few hours in the morning, he seemed to have experienced all kinds of life.
"Sometimes I think that life is actually like a game, and some people choose the simple mode, and when they come out, they will be prosperous and rich, and they will be cared for. Some people choose the general model, where they get what they give. Some people choose Hardmode and have never even seen the school, a beginner's area, and they have to come out to face the world boss. ”
Xiao Feng paused, and his gaze shifted to Xiaoyao when he was looking out the window, his expression was extremely helpless.
"And your existence makes me believe that there are still bugs in this game."
Xiaoyao smirked, as if Xiao Feng was not talking about him.
Xiao Feng was really angry and funny when he saw him like this. No one could have imagined that the person in front of him who pretended to be crazy and stupid was actually a genius among geniuses.
It all starts with the class guide.
In the morning, after the tutorial, the teachers of the compulsory subjects should have 30 minutes to briefly explain the policies they will be teaching in the coming semester.
Well, it should have been.
The compulsory subjects of imperial high schools are similar to those of middle schools in the Earth Age, with a total of six subjects, namely Chinese, English, Atlantic, art, mathematics, and physical education.
As for Xiao Feng, although he already had a certain understanding of various subjects before the course began, he still didn't dare to relax at all, after all, this was the strongest imperial high school in the world, and he had prepared his notes and stationery even before the teacher arrived in the classroom, and the other students were also ready to write down the main points of the teacher's introduction, just in case.
Among the forty people in the class, probably only Xiaoyao and the Demon King were the most relaxed, only Xiaoyao leaned back slightly, making a look like I was at ease with what happened, and the Demon King fell asleep directly on the table, which is really cute.
First of all, the Chinese teacher, the fat figure and gentle tone, especially those fat flesh that moves as soon as he speaks, make people feel that his speech is very moving.
But the first thing he said when he came to the classroom was, "Young men, you have been deceived!" ”
Time in the classroom seemed to come to a standstill, and even the sound of breathing disappeared in an instant, even the sound of breathing disappeared in an instant.
"Let's put away all the notebooks, we don't need this kind of thing, no teacher will introduce the course today."
Except for the two strange cute, all the students looked at each other and didn't know what to do, but they still obediently took back their notebooks.
"Our teachers generally call the freshman admission day a surprise day, because the average freshman will not know that there is no policy for teaching in imperial high schools."
He glanced deeply at Xiaoyao and continued to smile: "Let's talk about teaching later!" Today is an exciting, novel and interesting activity for everyone to participate in, called Poetry Solitaire! ”
"In the next twenty-five minutes, you need to start with the last word of the poem I provided, and continue with the ancient poem."
Finally, the Chinese teacher said quietly: "If you can't pick it up five times, you will deduct credits!" Then write on the blackboard that Li Bai will enter the wine: Life must be happy, don't make the gold bottle empty to the moon.
At the same time that the teacher said that the credits would be deducted, Xiao Feng's brain power had awakened, exploded, and urged to the limit. I can't help it! Generally, freshmen are very short of credits, even if the grades of all the compulsory subjects plus two elective subjects are very good, and the miracle is generally within the top 10 of the whole level, and after one semester, they will only get 160 points, and they still need to use the credits to buy daily necessities on weekdays, and the 300 credits after one year is also a problem. All in all, lack of money (credits)!
However, in the face of poetry, even if he searched his mind, Xiao Feng could only be speechless! He can be said to know six things about poetry, but he doesn't know anything! The meaning of each word is clear, but when it is combined, it is completely unclear. It feels like seven slimes, actually merged into a divine dragon, how good are you to make a level 1 brave. This is still solitaire, absolutely can't do it! It's impossible!
Xiao Feng looked around and found that almost all the students looked very distressed. And those two strange cuteness too
I saw Xiaoyao next to him digging his nostrils and saying: "The moon is falling and the sky is full of frost, and Jiang Feng's fisherman is sad and sleepy." ”
The Chinese teacher was stunned for a moment, he didn't think to answer so quickly, but quickly reacted back: "It's Fengqiao Night Parking, sleeping sand lying in the water is self-contained, and the curved shore remnants anode Puyun." ”
Xiaoyao's finger flicked and said: "The cloud tree is vast and the moon is bright, and Dong Shuangcheng is still in the seat." ”
"Success or failure is known to the heavens, and there is no doubt that Wujiang will draw his sword."
"It is suspected that it flew to Tianzhu Peak, and a tip showed off in the white clouds."
The Chinese teacher has been in contact with Xiaoyao you and me, and in just one minute, he has picked up the poems no less than five times, and the trend has continued. The speed of the two responses is so fast that when others often listen to the last word, the next poem is answered, and there is no room for others to interfere.
"Let's look at the green mountains covered with white clouds, and the world is full of knowledge." "Hearing that the famous garden is full of peonies, the Hao family appreciates the remnants of spring." "The shadow of the remnant lamp is gone, and the tears are wet with the merman's jade thread."
This solitaire lasted for nearly ten minutes, and finally ended with Xiaoyao admitting defeat, but looking at the teacher's sweaty posture and Xiaoyao's relaxed and happy appearance, it was probably that Xiaoyao wanted to give the teacher a step down.
Xiao Feng and his classmates were dumbfounded, it was not that they couldn't accept that a Qi Meng was a genius, after all, this place was a place where geniuses gathered in imperial high schools, and ordinary people were of course rarer than geniuses.
However, the ancient poems they used in the poems just now are basically handed down from the Earth Age, and there are very few people who have seen and remember them in this era, let alone solitaire at a very fast speed, how strong does this need to be memory and memory search ability!?
All of a sudden, the room was filled with people who were like, "That's so handsome!" "What's his name?" "Is it that he just claimed to be a god!?" And so on.
As the focus of the crowd, Xiaoyao was just giggling, but the Chinese teacher did not waste time, and kept introducing the school to the students, or answering the doubts of the students, until the next teacher came to the classroom.
It turned out that there was no policy at all for the teaching of the imperial high school, and everything was left to the teachers to handle, allowing them to teach in their own way as they wanted, and even more than half of the final assessment results were occupied by the usual score. In other words, as long as the teacher is unhappy, even if you get a perfect score in the exam, you can just give you a failure and then let you drop out, but of course no teacher does that.
The freshman admission day is also known as the surprise day, because of an unwritten rule, that is, the teacher will give the new students a test on the first day of school, the content of the test is determined by the teacher, the test will deduct one to five points for the whole class if the test is not successful, and those who do not have enough credits will be counted as a negative number, and there is no reward for success.
Xiaoyao smiled at Xiao Feng and said, "I'm looking forward to it, right!" ”
Xiao Feng could only reply weakly: "Spare me!" ”
The new enrollment will be deducted credits, so it can be said that someone has been cut off from food and clothing!
(Note: All foreign Chinese languages will be displayed as Chinese)
Next up is the English teacher, who has a classic image of an old professor who feels like the principal of a magic school.
As soon as he appeared, he said in pure American English: "I believe you all know from the teacher just now that there is no introduction today, only "surprise"! Well, I won't talk nonsense, this "surprise" is designed to test everyone's reading of English, everyone enjoy! ”
Xiao Feng is speechless, it's strange to enjoy it!
I saw the English teacher write the names of Shakespeare, Bacon, Goethe, etc., a total of 20 famous Western philosophers, on the blackboard, and said with a smile: "Although these people are all figures of the earth age, their classic sentences are still handed down to this day." Can anyone answer me what they think about "knowledge" and "success"? ”
Xiao Feng couldn't help but burst out: "Knowledge is power." "
The English teacher did not respond, but just ticked the box under the word "bacon".
Western philosophy has stagnated since the beginning of the federal era, because of the progress of science and technology, fewer and fewer people pay attention to philosophy, so Western philosophers are also about to disappear, and the famous sayings and sentences left behind have become common questions in exams. As a result, Xiao Feng once memorized most of the Western famous sayings and sentences in order to cope with the English test for the entrance to the imperial high school.
Other students also replied: "Gracefully face success and face setbacks bravely." ”
"The most important thing in life is to set a big goal and make up your mind to achieve it. In order to succeed, you have to pay a price. ”
"In order to succeed, you have to pay a price. If you pay the price, you will succeed. ”
"Ignorance is sin, but knowledge is the wings by which we fly to heaven." Suddenly, Beelzebub's voice came out, and he deliberately lengthened his voice to look very strange.
Xiaoyao lowered his voice: "This Shakespearean quote is really appropriate, let him say it." ”
"Is it appropriate? Wait, generally speaking, the demon king is the embodiment of sin, right? If ignorance equals sin, doesn't Beelzebub equal ignorance??" Xiao Feng also lowered his voice and said, the performance of the genius just now was recognized by him.
Xiaoyao did not respond.
After the test, the English teacher didn't say much and slowly left.
It didn't take long for the Atlantic teacher to arrive. He was relatively young, dressed in a gray robe and with a slender figure, and carried a guitar in his hand, making him resemble a bard.
Wait, it's weird for a Chinese teacher to take a guitar to class!
He plucked his guitar lightly and said in beautiful Atlantan, "Hello everyone, I'm Stephen?" Xiu, please call me a teacher, today's test is very simple, please rest assured. Then he plucked his guitar again.
"Please let one of your classmates go on stage and sing the current hit song 'The Demon King' in Atlanta with my accompaniment! ”
Everyone was not surprised by the manner of the bard, in fact, he was a bard, and ninety-nine percent of the Atlantans were also bards, because they believed that they were destined to be bards from birth, and that they loved peace, and that they were mild-mannered, but they were extremely terrifying.
About 100 years ago, a piece of land suddenly popped up overnight in the Atlantic Ocean on Earth, without warning or causing an earthquake, as if it had existed for a long time.
The most amazing thing is that through satellite detection, a large number of strange-shaped buildings appeared on the continent, which is obviously an advanced civilization, so the Federation of China and the Federation of St. Britain have organized exploration groups and diplomatic groups to explore the continent.
The information that came back was very staggering, and it caused a wave of enthusiasm among the common people, the place was fundamentally a musical capital, and any person you found would be humming a song and talking to you, but they just couldn't understand it, they were using a new language.
The locals are very welcoming to these outsiders, and even if they see a local they don't know, he will come up and hum a song to say hello, and even pull people to listen to him play music. There was no strife, no hostility, not even an army, like the legendary God-blessed Avalon.
At that time, a general of the Commonwealth of St. Britain had a crooked idea and ordered a fleet of his subordinates to secretly attack and invade. The next day, all the soldiers returned safely and without casualties. They all had guitars in their hands, and all of them became bards.
Their invasion was completely fruitless, not even a single grass was harmed, but provoked a counterattack from the natives, and it was not long before several countries of the Federation of St. Britain, close to the Atlantic, were brainwashed into bards and consider themselves Atlantans.
The two federations were terrified for a moment, which was a hundred times more powerful than the means of cultural invasion, and they were assimilated at once.
Eventually, the Atlantans conquered the languages of the two federations and successfully concluded a peace agreement with them, officially changing their name to the Atlanta Federation. However, the idea that the Atlanta Commonwealth people would have brains still persists to this day.
Getting back to the point, just as Teacher Xiu asked to sing a hit song
When the "Demon King" happened, everyone fell into peace, this is not a hit song at all, but a nursery rhyme, okay!?
The original song of "Demon King" is a nursery rhyme written by Schubert of Austria, which tells the story of a father who holds a fever child and rides a horse in the forest in the dark night, but the child finds that the demon king in the forest is seducing him, and finally when the father returns home, the child in his arms has died.
Everyone knows the lyrics of "Demon King", but the Atlantan adaptation of "Demon King" requires too many changes in four tones, which is not something ordinary people can do at all.
The narrator's blandness, the child's loud exclamation, the father's anxiety, and the whispering of the demon king, the four tones are perfectly switched and intertwined, so that it can be called a song "Demon King".
Short touched Xiaoyao with his elbow and asked him with his eyes if he could do it, and Xiaoyao shrugged his shoulders and signaled that he couldn't help it.
"Wait, if it's the Demon King, it's really possible to sing the "Demon King", isn't it the most suitable to give the "Demon King" to the Demon King to sing? I don't know who suddenly spoke up.
Hearing this, the students all looked at Beelzebub, expecting him to give an affirmative answer.
I saw Beelzebub slowly walking up to the stage, and the footsteps seemed to hide a special rhythm, as if he introduced himself at that time, once again aroused a strange feeling in everyone's hearts, he closed his eyes slightly, and sang slowly in a deep voice:
"Who gallops in the night wind? The father took his child and held the child in his arms to warm his body.
Why do you hide your face, O my son?
Dad, can't you see the Demon King?
The demon king wears a crown and drags a long skirt.
Oh my son, it's a cloud of smoke.
Come, come with me, child! I'm going to play a fun game with you."
From the beginning of the voice of the demon king, everyone was already shocked, his low voice and strange temperament, coupled with the teacher's accompaniment, made people feel as if there was a living demon king in their minds.
"My son, my son, I can see clearly,
It was a couple of gray old poplar trees.
Lovely child, I like your beauty.
If you won't come with me,
I'm going to plunder you! ”
Suddenly, there was a feeling of oppression in the air, which made Xiao Feng difficult to breathe and unable to breathe.
That sense of shock, like the hand of the demon king, was clenching Xiao Feng's throat.
Even when he opened his mouth, he could not make a sound.
After singing the song, everyone didn't come back to their senses for a long time.
The demon king bowed slightly, stroked his chest with his right hand, and made a strange salute.
"So handsome!"
"It's a good fit!"
"What just happened?"
"His plundering is simply??"
Even Xiao Feng felt that the Demon King was extremely handsome just now, as if in an instant, he had robbed the hearts of all the students in the classroom.
"I see! The aesthetics of the Demon King? It seems that being late is also an aesthetic. "The next to the Xiaoyao secret road, but it is likely to find the wrong point.
"Unbelievable! Perfect! Perfect! What's your name? Teacher Xiu asked in amazement.
"Beelzebub (Demon King)!"
