Chapter 386: Brian's Characteristics
It is indeed a good thing to be able to use your spare time to earn a little extra money to supplement your daily expenses, after all, the annual tuition fee of this academy can simply bankrupt an ordinary little aristocrat.
And the place of tutoring is in his small villa, coming and going, just half a month after the start of school, Philip's dormitory has become one of the most popular places in the knight's branch.
In addition to tutoring, these students in similar situations also organized several small gatherings, and the relationship between them quickly warmed up, forming the prototype of a small group with Philip as the core.
As a social animal, human beings will instinctively huddle each other according to their own conditions and personalities after being in an unfamiliar environment.
In half a month, the 36 students of the Knight Branch were divided into two classes on the surface, and in private, they had formed three distinct small groups according to their backgrounds.
The first is the group led by the green-haired Robin, who has the smallest number of people, always maintaining the size of eight people, and is very xenophobic.
It seems that when they were assigned to classes, they had already secretly made moves and were uniformly assigned to Class A.
The common characteristic of these people is that they come from pure temple families, and they are generally noble, and their ancestors have produced more than one temple high-level, or holy knights, or archbishops, a bit similar to the meaning of pure-blood wizards, and they are very persistent about their own family and bloodline inheritance.
And Alsace is their predecessor and their role model for the future.
The families of these people have been multiplying inside the temple for a long time, the shortest is more than a dozen generations, and the longest can even date back thousands of years, which is almost like a mythical ancient time for people today.
This is evident in the long list of their names, all of which are famous in the temple.
Every time they passed by the corridor at the main entrance of the college, they would stop for a moment, because the biographies of their ancestors, including even the pope, were carved in relief.
These people are convinced that their bloodline has been blessed by Gaia, the Mother Earth Goddess, and that they have inherited some mysterious power that can pass on their natural abilities through heirs who have been carefully cultivated from generation to generation.
Even the partners of their marriage, the birth and upbringing of their children have all kinds of strict rules and regulations.
Although they scoff at their ways and can't play together at all, it doesn't mean that these people are all bad people, let alone a group of gangsters who have nothing to do and do nothing, it's just that everyone has different ideas.
On the contrary, Philip was very much in favor of their self-confidence, self-discipline, and devotion to the temple and their faith.
I have been classmates for more than half a month, and the results of these people have always been ranked in the top few of the two classes, which is a fact for all to see.
And it's not ridiculous to pass on some kind of ability through bloodline, at least his madness is proof of the unstable inheritance of the bloodline of the Snape Madness Lion family.
So from this point of view, Philip and they have no essential differences in philosophy, after the initial embarrassing period, although they still don't think very highly of Philip and others, but the well water does not interfere with the river water, but is peaceful.
The second small group is the so-called outsider group with Philip at its core.
Most of these people came from the southern regions of the Wardsman Empire, the Wardleman Empire, and the other minor principalities within the three major imperial alliances.
Most of them were of noble birth and wealthy families, and they were all local lords or nobles, and the highest one was actually the son of a duke family in the Ward Leman Empire.
And most of the people who fought with Philip at the beginning were from this group, and there were also a few people from Class B, who were from similar backgrounds and similar tutors, so they were like-minded.
With Philip, the nominal representative, it was natural to come together.
I have to say that in addition to his own abilities and character, Philip's legendary name and famous princess girlfriend also add some mysterious background and capital to him.
Whether they chose to join the temple or not, they were deeply impressed by the great battle that destroyed the country a few months ago, and they were full of yearning for commanding the army to slash Fang Xuan on the battlefield and behead the enemy commander among thousands of troops.
Even though Philip has told the story of that past many times, there are still people who keep asking about the details.
And Philip, after repeating it countless times, almost habitually believed in the deductions that were added later.
Among these people, there are several good seedlings sent by the local seminary, plus the invited teaching assistants, and they have initially realized one-on-one help and mutual assistance, so that these people can make rapid progress.
After all, they are all young heroes selected by thousands of people, and their qualifications are limited even if they are poor.
Aside from Robin's group, this group has the second largest number of people and is also relatively united.
The third group, which was also the largest one, spanned two classes and numbered more than half of the total number.
Instead of an absolute core like Philip or Robin, the gang is concentrated around three people, each competing and containing each other, and when facing Robin and Philip, they will be closely united and form a loose alliance.
These people are not as distinctive as the other two groups, and although they are also from within the temple, they do not have a consistent lineage, both in terms of natural abilities and the achievements of their ancestors.
This makes their situation a little embarrassing, on the one hand, they maintain a certain sense of psychological superiority over Philip and others, and on the other hand, they can't hold their heads up next to Robin and others, and even a little conceit because of low self-esteem.
This group of people, including the family behind them, is the largest number of people in the temple today, and it is also the most powerful group.
The best of them are tasked with proving themselves and reviving the family, such as Charlton, the leader of Class B.
However, this group of people is not distinct from the other two small groups, and some of them have good personalities in the middle, but they have a pretty good relationship with both sides.
At least Philip and the others had a good impression of one of the three leaders, named 'Wood', who was cheerful and approachable, and was a good friend.
It's a pity that excellent talents are very rare, the selection of the Knight Branch is only once every two years, and the seniors of the previous class have entered their final year, and under the pressure of the extremely high elimination rate, these people have far more time to practice outside than in the school.
Philip hadn't seen these would-be Templars in the academy except after a hurried meeting at the beginning of the school year, otherwise he would have spent a lot of time and energy trying to make friends.
Finally, a month after the start of the school year, all the students were gradually on the right track, and Philip had his first tactical instruction class.
The reason why it has been delayed for so long is because the instructor of this course has just returned to the academy from a trip, and he is the last of the dozen instructors to meet his own students.
Brian Miller, Philip and others are mentors of tactical command, the youngest member of the academy's mentor community, at the age of 42.
Not tall, with a round head and big ears, a slightly chubby figure, golden-brown hair and a pair of black-rimmed glasses, all made Philip think of Allen, a teacher who used to be at Ander College in Fallen Horse Town, and was also the husband of the little maid Blair.
The facial features of the two are completely different, but the temperament of standing on the podium is faintly very similar.
Don't underestimate the unsightly Brian, although he is the youngest guy in the mentor group, he has trained nearly ten batches of more than 200 excellent Templars since he became a teaching assistant at the age of 23.
These people have become the backbone of the various dioceses in the temple of the South, and it is by no means an exaggeration to say that the South is full of peach and plums.
Let's just say that Brian himself, a 17-year-old genius with awakened brains, has published more than 30 papers in the temple's internal specialist publications, and is the youngest recipient of the temple's second-class Medal of Wisdom.
Even according to the grapevine, Brian is likely to be one of the core members of the staff of the Knights of the Southern Temple, but this is an absolute secret, and there is no way to verify it.
In short, this fat man who is belated, standing on the round podium at the moment, is definitely not as ...... as he seems Unreliable.
Sure enough, geniuses may have some quirks, and Brian's weirdness is directly related to his out-of-shape figure.
I saw that he didn't open the tutorial in a hurry, but took out a large handful of small dried fish and nuts from his bag, threw them in his mouth and bit hard, and even warmly invited the students sitting in the front row to taste it.
Everyone was amused by this somewhat two-year, and a little cute instructor, and felt that the next three years of this course might not be difficult.
Philip laughed too, and he found that although Brian was biting something in his mouth, he didn't really chew much, and this compulsive habit seemed to be a means and a kind of dependence for him to stay focused.
It's just that you eat so oily and so salty, and you have a body that obviously lacks exercise, is your blood pressure not high?
Far from it.
Brian bit the dried fish, but his mouth was not affected much, and some sharp sounds were amplified by the rebound of the stepped fan-shaped walls around him, and clearly reached the ears of every student.
"My course is very simple, if you are a genius like me, then congratulations, not only will these three years be very enjoyable and relaxed, but also you will receive an excellent evaluation conclusion from me.
If you're not as smart as I am, but you're hardworking, then congratulations as well, your diligence has room to play so that you don't waste all that good spare time on meaningless eating, drinking, and having fun.
But if you are neither smart nor diligent, unfortunately you will spend these three years in a nightmare.
Of the hundreds of students I've taught over the past 20 years, no more than one-fifth still remember to send me a greeting card during the holidays.
Now it's up to you to choose whether you want to hate me or love me.
The leaders of the two classes will come and send these exercises now, without waiting until the end of class.
I'm going to talk about it in the last half of the lesson, and these exercises are your homework for today, and you can start working on them now. ”
