Chapter 1 Opening Ceremony
"Dear students..."
"I am very happy to be here today to see young people from all over the world gathered at our University of Reisbourg. First of all, on behalf of all the faculty and students of the University of Resbourg, I would like to extend my warmest welcome to all of you......."
Wren sat down in the audience and watched the headmaster, who was more than two meters tall, giving his acceptance speech.
Sitting around him were all sorts of strange students, yes, strange things.
Even though it has been a few days since Wren came to this world, every time he sees these strange races around him, he still can't help but feel a little like in a dream, especially when they appear in groups like today.
For example, sitting in front of him is a girl of the cat people race. Her white tail with a bow tied through the gap under the back of the chair dangled in front of Wren, causing him to be distracted all the time.
I really want to touch it......
Narrowing his gaze, and then looking at the one on the left, although he looks like a human, Wren doesn't think that there really is a human who can grow like the ghost in "Street Fighter".
This is supposed to be a barbarian - although the gold-rimmed glasses and suit boots don't match him.
These strange races aside, after all, traveling through fantasy is not new, but what has happened in the past few days has made him more and more suspicious of whether he is dreaming.
When he first came to this world a few days ago, he was just an ordinary high school student living in an ordinary town.
He was surprised to find that this world was a little "not fantastical", in the fantasy stories that Wren had seen in his previous life, the background of the world was often similar to the Middle Ages, nobles, carriages, armor, blacksmiths, fine wine, adventurers, you made Wren think, he could instantly come up with a whole bunch of messy things to fill those fantasy stories.
But this world is far from his fantasies, this is a modern age with a similar level of technology as the earth, mobile phones, computers, airplanes, high-speed rail, etc., and of course, the Internet that Wren could not do without in his previous life.
This kind of situation is completely different from the impression, which made Wren really unaccustomed to it when he first came to this world.
I finally accepted this setting, and something even stranger happened.
Wren accidentally helped an old man cross the street on the way out of school, and the other party inexplicably stuffed an admission letter to him and asked him to go to the university above.
Ren Xinxin said that how can there be an admission letter issued like this, that is, escort and go through the back door, you should also go through a procedure, right? The notice you just pulled out, could it be that it still has my name on it?
But the old man insisted on giving him the notice, and Wren had no choice but to accept it.
As a result, when he went to school the next day, the school didn't know why he knew about it, and his homeroom teacher and principal packed Wren that day, ah no, it was to help Wren pack his things, and then bought him a train ticket, which was sent directly to where he is now.
In fact, it's almost the same as packing......
On the way to the station, the head teacher only briefly explained the situation to Rennes, saying that this notice is from the University of Lesbourg, one of the top ten universities in the world, and that he can't go to this school even if his ten Rennes test scores add up, which is his blessing, and he has to go there to study anyway.
And because the University of Reisbourg will be open in two days, it is necessary to leave as soon as possible.
In this way, Wren came to the city called Brika in a daze and participated in the opening ceremony of this school called the University of Lesburg.
........
Retracting his thoughts, Wren continued to listen to the headmaster on the stage, glancing at the nearby students from time to time.
"Many of you here are first-time visitors to Brica, and some of you are even visiting such a multi-ethnic city for the first time, and as the principal, I think it's important for me to tell you some things that you need to pay attention to in the future."
"First and foremost, rules and order, these two are the two most critical points for the operation of today's society, especially in Brica. Brika is known to be an extremely tolerant city, which is why the University of Les Boris has chosen to put down roots here, because we are open to accepting students of all races and nationalities. ”
"With so many people from different places and different ethnicities coming together, it can lead to conflicts if you are not careful. Students of many races have their own customs and habits, and there is a high risk of conflict between different customs, such as the Grams from the Hawak Desert, who worship cats as gods and must not be approached and desecrated. But elsewhere, including Brica, there are many people who treat cats as pets. ”
"There are many more similar contradictions, so we have made a request that all those who come to Brika should be guided by the rules of Brica. You are sitting here today to show that you have accepted Brica's rules and are willing to make some concessions. Like the Grahms, they are unwilling to play by our rules, so no Grahms have come to study at the University of Rensburg. Although this is a pity, the rules are not allowed to be broken. ”
"Having said all this, please remember that rules and order are the most important thing, and only by abiding by the rules can we ensure a stable life for all. I think you will also realize this in your future study and life....."
Wren didn't listen to the principal's words, and to some extent he still agreed with what the principal said, after all, so many races of people are mixed together, not to mention so many people with extraordinary powers, there must be some restrictions, otherwise the whole society will be completely chaotic.
The headmaster then went on to explain a few things to look out for, and then Wren saw that he had flipped through the pages of the manuscript in his hand.
"Now, it's time for my favorite part of the annual opening ceremony, where the list of elite classes is announced. But before I publish this list, I have one thing to say every year. The so-called elite class refers to the fact that these students have achieved extremely amazing achievements before entering the school. Bringing them up individually and having their names read out at the ceremony is more of a commendation. We treat all students equally, and they don't have any special rights in school,"
"This must be well known to those who know something about our school, so I won't go into details, let's see who is on the list."
In fact, there is no need to look at the list, the people in the elite class are all seated in the front and middle two rows, a total of twenty-one people, including Wren.
That's right, Wren also inexplicably entered this elite class, which is why he felt that the facts of the past two days were too strange.
Who is the old man who gave himself the notice? Why was he able to put himself in the elite class, and why did he do it?
Wren thought that the old man was the headmaster at first, but when he looked at it today, the rickety old man and the two-meter-tall strong man in front of him were not alone at all.
A man dressed as an assistant trotted up to the podium, handed a stack of envelopes to the principal, and then went back the way he came. The headmaster picked up a letter from it at random, and said as he opened it:
"Now let's see who was the first classmate in the elite class? He is one of the dwarven clans from the New Age, Thor Transistor of the Electro Clan! ”
Hearing the name, Wren almost fell out of his chair.
He knew that the dwarves' clan names and surnames were very strange, and they were often associated with tools, such as the Rat's Furnace of the Steelhammer Clan, and the Noth Hoe of the Plains Clan.
But he never expected that the names of the current dwarves have been "soothing" to such a point, and it can only be said that they are worthy of being the dwarf clans of the new era......
Then a brown-haired dwarf sitting near Wren got out of his chair and ran to the stage in a joyful manner.
Taking advantage of this time, the principal briefly introduced the achievements of this "transistor" student:
Based on his father's work, Thor has carried out a deeper exploration of the use of transistors, and his research has greatly promoted this field. King Yedlin of the Electronics Clan gave him the surname Transistor and wrote a letter of recommendation to our school. In the letter, he said, with the help of Thor's research, perhaps in a few years, the performance of a phone of the same size as it is now will double. In view of his achievements, I hereby approve his admission to the 217th elite class of the University of Resbourg. ”
At this time, Thor also happened to walk to the principal's side, one was nearly two meters, and the other was less than 70 centimeters, and the principal had to lean down and hand Thor a badge.
And whispered something to him, probably some words of encouragement or something.
After Thor stepped down, the principal went on to read the names of the students in the second elite class.
"The second classmate in the elite class is Isabel Anya from the Kingdom of Dawn. At just 16 years old, she is now a 72-certificate fighter, which is quite an amazing talent. Well, her referrer is herself. ”
When the principal mentioned that the girl named Anya was a 16-year-old 72-certificate soldier, the audience couldn't help but let out an exclamation. Wren could hear a lot of people whispering behind him, as if he had heard something impossible.
No wonder everyone is surprised, anyone who knows what "Zheng" means should be surprised.
The origin of this thing starts with the power system of this world, and at first people used junior warriors, senior mages, legendary druids and the like to delineate the strength of the transcendents, as Wren wrote in the fantasy stories he had seen in the past.
About 50 years ago, however, some human rights groups disputed the system, arguing that the system was unreasonable.
"In the era of advocating equality for all, how can people be divided into primary, senior, and legendary? Nowadays, many people, when they encounter someone who is higher than their own level, they will lower their voices, and when they encounter someone lower than their own level, they will be arrogant. Is it because some people are stronger that they are superior? It must be changed! ”
This protest was supported by many people, and the international joint conference also said that it was willing to revise it, but another problem was in front of everyone.
The titles of "junior and senior" are suspected of dividing people into three, six, nine, and so on, so there must be individual criteria for judging the strength of those possessors of extraordinary powers, right?
At that time, people discussed many methods, and the results were not suitable. In the end, someone proposed, simply like this, let those transcendents go to the test, and use the number of certificates to represent their strength.
For example, in addition to the graduation certificate issued by the school, the common [Level 2 Certificate in Computer Science], [Level 4 Certificate in Elven Language], etc., there are also some such as [Cutting down 20 30 cm diameter oak trees with a diameter of 30 cm with a GS-10011 standard iron sword in one minute], [Running 100 meters in no more than 3 seconds in an indoor room with a wind speed of 0 at a temperature of 15°C], [Reading and reciting 356 classic library cards recommended by Master Frederick Charles in 17695] Such a strange certificate.
According to statistics, there are more than 3,000 certificates that transcendents can test, many of which can reflect their strength, such as cutting trees, and it is impossible for ordinary people to get this certificate.
There are also some that ordinary people can get with hard work, such as the "60 years of work for the XXX kingdom certificate" issued by various kingdoms, and these certificates can often be upgraded and become "100 years", "500 years", and "1000 years" certificates of work.
Keep breathing, don't lose your breath, go to work hard, work steadfastly, and one day you can get it.
Of course, in general, most of the certificates are still only available to the extraordinary.
So the number of certificates can represent the strength of this transcendent person to some extent, but it does not appear that they are superior to others like those "junior and advanced".
It's like if someone gets a tree cutting certificate, then they can be a lumberjack. With a running certificate, he may just want to be an athlete.
The fact that transcendents get more certificates only shows that people can engage in more occupations and better benefit society.
In this way, everyone is an ordinary person,
This proposal was agreed by the majority of the people, and it has been continuously improved and has been used to this day.
........
Amid the exclamations of the crowd, the girl named Anya stepped onto the podium.
Wren's first impression of this girl was:
It's so high!
At least more than 1.8 meters, a little taller than Rennes.
He has short brown shoulder-length hair, wears a very casual white T-shirt, and does not wear weapons, but the whole person still exudes a heroic momentum.
It can only be said that she is worthy of being a Girl Warrior with 72 certificates, and she is terrifying!
After that, the students of the elite class took the stage one by one to receive the badges presented by the principal, and the audience erupted into a burst of cries from time to time, and the students were amazed by the achievements of these peers.
Wren was panicking at this time, the better these people were, the more curious he became, how he would describe himself in his introduction, and how he thought that he had no commendable merits.
Finally, in an anxious wait, the headmaster unpacks yet another letter, and this is Wren's.
"The last few letters, let me see who this classmate is. His name is, Wren Edward! He ......."
The headmaster didn't know why there was a sudden pause, and a certain expression was taken back by him just as it was about to appear, and then he said calmly:
"Wren Edward, his referee is... I. The reason for the recommendation is that this child has unparalleled courage. ”
Offstage:
“.......”
