Chapter 9: Principal Ax
The last lesson of the day was Margaret Thatcher's magic class, she looked preoccupied today, and there was no new content, and the whole lesson was just to take us to review the previous lessons. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Towards the end of this class, Margaret Thatcher suddenly said to us sternly: "Everyone, pay attention, there are not only the four attribute magic of wind, fire, water and earth in the world, maybe some students have also heard of or seen other attribute magic, such as illusion magic, time magic, space magic, etc., which are all activated by quite rare dragonstones. In addition, there is elven magic, that is, magic that summons elves to help them, and some people call it summoning... Forget it, it's too much, these contents are detailed in the last dozens of pages of the textbook, you should carefully preview at home, don't slack off, I want to spot check, unqualified students will be punished for copying the entire magic manual ten times!
"Got it!" we replied in unison, but there was a growing private feeling that Mrs. Thatcher's anomaly today might have something to do with the upcoming school convention.
Finally, the drums sounded at the end of the school day, and the students of all classes came to the auditorium under the command of the student leaders.
The school's auditorium is located on the front right side of the Wizard Battle Room, not too far from it, but much larger and more ornately decorated. There are also many statues of spirit beasts in the open space outside the gate, such as unicorns, phoenixes, etc., which are very magnificent. Open the heavy door, which is glittering with gold and lights, and the surrounding walls are hung with portraits of the president, professors, and students of the university since its founding, and in the middle are the seats of our students. The professors of all grades and disciplines on the rostrum in front of them have all taken their seats, and from a distance, we can see familiar faces such as Professor Thatcher of our class, Professor Miró of the Continental History class, and Professor Michel of the Herbs class, and the old man in the middle of the presidium wearing a white robe and a long beard is our principal Ax.
It is said that Principal Axes used to be a famous demon war general in the Republic, one of the best magic swordsmen in the country, extremely proficient in magic and swordsmanship, but as he grew older, he no longer used swords (he was 78 years old), but specialized in academics and became a famous sage. He had only been transferred from Basta, the capital of the Republic, to take up the position of Headmaster of our school about a year ago, but Principal Ax seemed to be very busy, and we had not seen him a few times in the past year, and we could only see him on such large occasions.
At this time, President Ax waved his hand to calm us down, and he stood up energetically and said to us: "Professors and students, this meeting of all members of the campus will not delay you for a long time. Here I would like to announce one thing, that is, our security school will be temporarily closed, and all teachers and students will serve as a reserve force for the city's security team to help them eradicate the frequent appearance of demonic beasts. At this moment there was an uproar in the auditorium, and everyone was talking about the headmaster's words and expressing their opinions, and I began to understand the meaning of Margaret Thatcher's words when we were about to leave school and to keep to our schoolwork.
Principal Axes waved his hand again to calm us down, looked around at us for a week with a bright gaze, and said solemnly: "This is also a mobilization meeting of all teachers and students, as we all know, the frequent attacks on demonic beasts have made the citizens of this city panic, and the social order has been greatly disrupted. The members of the regular security forces have done their best to prevent the appearance of monsters in various areas, and various departments have mobilized all their police forces, but they are still quite short of manpower, after all, the city is quite large, and it is not possible to do everything and protect all areas. Therefore, the top commander of the Police Security Force (short for Garrison Security Force) has discussed with me that we students need to come forward at this time and help in the snow. Speaking of this, the principal paused, waved his hand vigorously, and immediately appeared on his head a virtual image of the fierce battle between the members of the police security team and the monster (this is probably the so-called propaganda video), causing a burst of exclamation from the students, and he said in the direction of our class at the same time: "The time has come to reflect the value of your life, since you have chosen to study in this school, you know that there will be a day when you will pay." Now, this day has come! Although Warcraft is very dangerous, I believe that with the efforts of everyone, we will eventually overcome this difficulty and win back the original peaceful and beautiful day! I believe that this experience will be unforgettable for you, and your actual performance will also determine your admission to the various departments of the Police Security Force after you graduate and leave school. Do your best, students!"
At this time, Principal Ax's eyes fell on me and Neil beside me, and said with a smile: "In addition, I have learned from the newspaper that some students in our school have dared to face the monster and defeat the monster to protect the innocent citizens, you have done a very good job, Chris, Neil! Our school will be proud of you! So, I hope these two students can stay for two more minutes after the meeting to say a few words to me, okay? Hehe, that's all for my words, now I will ask Instructor David to announce your future work assignment!"
At this time, Neil and I were already under the gaze of all the teachers and students of the school, and I felt quite uncomfortable, and it was really uncomfortable to be a celebrity!
Afterward, Principal Ax smiled and invited Instructor David to come up to the presidium. By the way, I haven't introduced him to you yet, as the chief instructor of fighting skills and tactics in the whole school, and my favorite instructor, Instructor David is actually a leopard warrior, and a black panther warrior, so it can be said that his strength is also the best among the leopard warriors. But he was not young, almost 50 years old, a one-eyed dragon, wearing a black blindfold that covered his blind left eye. He is slender and long (should be taller than his eldest brother), especially his small waist, and he can definitely touch his navel with his hands from behind. There are more or less scars on his face and body, because he turned out to be a captain in the border army of the Republic, very strong, a battle-hardened soldier, proficient in all kinds of weapons, and I learned a lot of practical knowledge from him. I heard that the Starlight Empire to the west of us has launched many small-scale regional battles, provocations and conflicts, but he and his troops have successfully collapsed, and the Starlight Empire's army has not taken any advantage. The scars on his body must have been left at that time! Despite his fierce face, he was still very amiable (at least much better than Margaret Thatcher), and he treated us students as his own children, and often said that we were the future of the country in the future. Although he was only transferred for about half a year after he was discharged from the army (after all, he was old), we all loved him.
Instructor David gave a military salute (this is his old problem, and he still thinks of himself as a soldier, not a teacher), and then began to say loudly: "The school will arrange students to assist in the work of various departments of the police security force according to the size of the grade." The first-year students with the shortest learning time and the least practical experience are assigned to the logistics department, which is mainly responsible for material support and cooperating with experts to analyze and find out the weaknesses of Warcraft. The second-year students were assigned to the patrol department, and the third-year students participated in the search and extermination of the monsters, and the fourth-year students were supposed to start their internships this year, and you and the members of the reconnaissance department of the police security team directly participated in the task of clearing the monsters and reconnoitering their movements, and the professors and instructors of each grade did a good job of leading the team, responsible for the safety of the students in the class and the teaching of the actual combat scene. All personnel implement a rotation system to ensure the combination of work and rest, and the above is disbanded!"
The students all stood up and dispersed for the door, and the professors left their seats and walked outside. At this time, you can see the change in the demeanor of different people: some are sad and complaining, some are silent and seem to be preoccupied, and some are so excited that they seem to have seized a great opportunity to express themselves, like Andy in our class, who was originally short and stunted, is like an excited monkey, jumping up and down, shouting to use his magic to teach the monster a lesson. Neil shook his head when he heard this, and then lowered his head and followed Mrs. Thatcher's instructions to preview the new textbook, and I smiled bitterly, knowing that Warcraft is not so easy to deal with. Now it's just a matter of waiting for the crowd to disperse, and we can go to the headmaster, who is still talking to Instructor David near the podium.
The crowd finally dispersed, and Neil and I arrived in front of Principal Ax, who had just finished talking to Instructor David and was smiling at us.
This is the first time we have been so close to the head of a school, and I believe that other students will not have the same luck as us. The headmaster was indeed an old man in his late teens, with so-called senile spots on his face and body, a gray beard that reached his waist, a triangular pointed hat on his head, a pair of triangular glasses on the bridge of his nose (the same as Margaret Thatcher's), and his eyebrows all turned white. The only thing that can tell that he is different from the old man is the bright eyes behind his glasses and the unhesitant movements, which make people feel that he is not that old.
"I've heard about your deeds for a long time, it's really a hero out of a young man, I wanted to meet you earlier, but unfortunately I've been busy with affairs these days, and I've been discussing with the captain of the police security team about supporting them. In short, I hope you can be a pioneer and role model to make other students more motivated to do things, please, Chris, Neil!"
"No, Headmaster, we didn't contribute much to that monster attack, the main credit is still the eldest brother's, and in the end, he single-handedly cut the monster in two, we just played a supporting role. "I sincerely said, if it's not my own credit, why grab it.
"Hehe, humble boy, very good, I like it! Keep improving like this! By the way, what's your eldest brother's name?
"Roy, Roy the Tiger Fighter. Neil replied beside me.
"Oh, I see, no wonder it's so powerful, it turned out to be Roy of the 'Fury' Beast Warrior Mercenary Group, he is an S-class tiger warrior, I only knew that you had lived here for so long, but it's a pity, otherwise I would have asked him to be an instructor at the school!"
"Principal, you also know the eldest brother, he probably won't come to be an instructor, the eldest brother is usually very low-key, and he is used to freedom, so he shouldn't want to be bound by the rules and regulations of the school. "I expressed my opinion to the principal.
"Haha, that's the case, it's a pity, in fact, I think it's a pity that his strength is not good to use...... Forget it, I hope your eldest brother can help in the next operation to exterminate the demonic beasts!"
"Well, the eldest brother has helped stabilize the situation in the area near his martial arts hall, and there should be no demonic beasts invading the nearby residents for the time being, and the people in the police security team are very grateful to the eldest brother!" Neil also interjected.
"Very good, very good, having you three brothers here has helped us a lot, Chris, Neil, keep up the good work!By the way, remember to say hello to Roy for me!" the principal shook hands with us cordially and watched us out of the auditorium.
I went out and looked back, and the headmaster was the only one in the auditorium standing silently waving at us, and the door of the auditorium seemed to be slowly closed by an invisible force......
