006. Hearings
The hearing began when Azir was brought to the stage, and the teacher who had received Azir was the first to speak, questioning what Azir called "originality."
Jiagu had been standing beside Azir, and he was very angry when he heard the words of those teachers, and the bruises on his forehead made people feel that he was going to scold in the next second.
Of course, he still didn't swear, but calmly argued, and the topic began, and the tutors and professors who were invited to the seats continued to raise their own questions, and Azir did not say a word the whole time, because every time their problems were taken over by Jiagu and skillfully resolved.
It seems that this hearing is the "suspect", and Azir is just a spectator.
Carl sat next to Kieran with a serious face, while the latter leaned back in his seat with his cheeks propped up, yawning from time to time.
This back-and-forth went on for hours, and Azir felt that his patience was good, but the reception teacher's second question made him unable to help it.
"In the information you provided, there is a formula that is the same as the beast body technique?" The reception teacher looked at a book of materials and asked.
This time, without waiting for Jiagu to speak, Azir rushed to say in advance: "May I ask if that is the difference between 1+2 and 2+1?" Why don't you sue the textbook, which has hundreds of such formulas. ”
"This ......"
The reception teacher obviously didn't expect Azir to speak suddenly, and after a moment of stunnedness, his eyes unconsciously aimed at Jiagu.
"It's been almost five hours since I've been here, and on my first day at the Academy, Professor Dinghey's lecture was about the preciousness of time, and that Shurima people don't live longer than two hundred years at most, and I'm not even sure if I'll be able to complete my research in my lifetime."
Azir turned his head to look at the previous reception teacher, "I don't have the super genes that all of you Kamigawa people will inject, I can't live that long, and if I still hear some questions here that have no practical value, it will be a waste of time!" Do you want me to die here and have no way to prove myself? ”
Azir was obviously talking about himself, but the reception teacher who was being stared at felt that he was talking about him, because even if he obtained the identity of Kamigawa, he also did not have a super gene.
Even if I have written countless application letters, it is like a mud cow entering the sea, and there is no return.
And when he heard "old death here", his face was even more unbearable: "Do you think this hearing is a waste of time?" ”
"At the very least, let someone who is efficient and can ask questions." Azir said.
"Watch your words, inferior civilized boy!" The reception teacher slapped the table and roared.
As a result, as soon as he said this, the audience immediately fell silent, except for Azir, everyone's eyes glanced at him, and some even sneered.
They all knew that this reception teacher knelt down crying when he obtained the identity of Kamigawa, and even used the official as a cow and a horse for a long time in order to get the position of the academy teacher, and he was on call, more filial than his own son.
Now that he is unashamed to shout inferior civilization to others, of course, it will attract ridicule in their hearts.
Because no matter how remote Shurima is, Azir himself is approved by Professor Dinghei.
This dignity does not come from charity, it is earned by his own ability, not to mention the perennial first place in the academy, even today's hearing can make half of the academy's tutors and professors, and even Kieran present, this treatment is not even available to some Kamigawa nobles.
Realizing that his words and deeds were wrong, the reception teacher could only blush, sat down, and he didn't hear the mocking voices of others, some of them were said in his ear, but he didn't dare to refute them, he could only stare at Azir with even more resentment.
Azir didn't pay attention to him, but said:
"You're right, I'm a person from a low-level civilization, my world is far behind Kamigawa, it's not even a space-level civilization, but it still sent me here."
"Shurima is a planet full of yellow sand and few resources, but that's my world, my Shurima! My people want me to go back with knowledge and change the harsh environment there, I've been in Kamigawa for nearly twenty years, and life here is better than our myths, but I don't dare to relax for a moment to enjoy it. ”
"The people of Shurima are waiting for me to go back, this responsibility is too great, of course I know about Kamigawa's super gene technology, and anyone can consult those public information, it's not that I didn't think that I could bring the super gene back to my world, but that kind of technology doesn't match the people of Shurima, so I worked hard to study the [Ascendant] project, which is completely suitable for the people of Shurima."
"I can really guarantee that the Ascendant was completely developed by myself!"
After Azir finished speaking, the audience fell silent for a moment, followed by whispers, and their topic was undoubtedly the difference between Azir and the reception teacher.
Some people's ridicule was louder and unabashed.
Kagu patted Azir on the shoulder appreciatively, and Karl quietly gave him a thumbs up, but immediately returned to sitting upright when Kieran glanced at him.
As for the receptionist, his seat was empty at some point, and no one noticed when he snuck away.
……
"The headmaster is so funny! I see he's talking to you the whole time! ”
After the hearing, Azir was given a short break to spend less than an hour outdoors, and Carl took the opportunity to spend time with his friend.
The snow has stopped these days, and the academy is filled with the scent of flowers and birds.
"yes, he's so funny." Azir said.
Since Azir was walking faster, Carl didn't see him roll his eyes.
"Our Royal Highness the Prince's speech is really impassioned, I am almost moved to tears by you." Carl teased him, "Haha, I saw that guy run away like a dog, you're really good at that." ”
"That's what I really thought, okay?" Azir laughed, "Although, I did want to embarrass him." ”
"Tsk, my heart is so dark, Your Royal Highness the Prince."
"Nonsense, why should I listen to a dog barking wildly?"
An hour passed quickly, and Carl returned to his resting place, where he had tried to intercede with Kieran, but he had not seen anyone else.
I didn't look around, and only after asking did I know that Kiran went to Jiagu to discuss things.
Karl knew that Kagu had said a lot about Azir at the hearing, so he thought that the two must be discussing ways to help Azir, so he didn't bother them.
At night, the principal's office was still lit up.
"Is this necessary?" Kiran sat at the table and looked at the back of Kagu in front of the window.
The old general straightened his upper body, stood with his hands on his back, and looked at the dark scenery of the academy, his resolute face reflected on the glass.
"I can see the potential of the Ascendant project, and I heard that the upper echelons plan to develop the technology of the second generation of super soldiers, and maybe it can be used." Jiagu said.
"I don't think it's necessary." Kieran shook his head and said, "The second-generation technology is going well. ”
"But I'm worried about our future...... I've heard that the sun on the main planet is dying, and it's in its twilight years...... I can't tolerate a technological explosion in a lower civilization. Jiagu frowned and said.
"But you're not a soldier anymore." Kiran still had that faint tone.
Jiagu turned around abruptly, his round eyes dimmed again: "I know! I know...... Anyway, do me a favor, since you think one more is not too much, and one less is not too much, so what does it matter if there is one more super soldier type project? ”
Kieran sighed, "Don't you think it's unfair to that kid?" ”
Kagu sat back in the principal's seat and picked up a graduation photo and stroked it, Azir and Karl standing to his left and right, Kogu pinching their chins and distorting their expressions, and he himself smiled and showed a mouthful of white teeth.
"He's not from Kamigawa. ”
Kiran shook his head helplessly: "Okay, I'll help you." ”
Jiagu looked into his eyes: "This matter, please rot in your heart." ”
"Don't worry, I never disappoint when it comes to secrecy," Kieran said. ”
After the winter passed, the planet here at Kamigawa Academy soon ushered in summer, the moon hung high in the sky, and countless stars shone brightly.
Azir couldn't sleep, so he lay down in bed and counted the stars.
But just as he was about to close his eyes, there was a knock on the door.
It was Kieran, and Azir was a little surprised by his arrival, wondering what the hero of Kamigawa had come to do with him.
Could it really be that Carl went through the back door?
Azir welcomed him in, and Kieran said, "The hearing is a show, the person who messed with you is the headmaster, and he wants your Ascendant technology." ”
