Chapter 499: Think Long-Term

In the final analysis, it is all caused by the harsh evaluation system of the Ivory Tower for fixed classrooms.

To a certain extent, the overly cautious review process also plays a good role in protecting school spirit under the infiltration of outsiders.

If it cannot be approved by more than 30% of all members of the teaching and research department in the vote, then there will be no way to establish a foundation in this college.

This leads to a paradox - the mud that cannot support the wall cannot be supported, and teachers with excellent academic background and teaching ability do not need the support of other external forces so much.

Even if a few are occasionally sent in, they will be quickly assimilated by the cohesion of the Ivory Tower itself.

Over the years, the only person with a pure-blood background and a high-level position was the vice-principal Mr. Isaac. Thanks to the guidance of this gentleman, the successors were able to gain a foothold in the ivory tower without losing their position.

And the most important thing is that the Ivory Tower actually doesn't care about the infiltration of purebloods.

At least many teachers in the teaching and research section are not interested.

Most objectively existing things have their own reasons and reasons. The existence of pure-blooded people proves that they have outstanding abilities, talents or skills, and those who can teach in the Ivory Tower have more or less unique characteristics. Talent, should they be turned away just because their family is rich and powerful?

If purebloods want to strive for their own status in the teaching and research office, that's no problem, why not? It is normal for the able to prevail at all times.

Even professors with Green Sun backgrounds can be tolerated here, so what if there are a few people from pureblood families? Will they stop being teachers when they come here?

Could it be that when they come they can just eat and not work?

Therefore, the source of Huaishi's current predicament is the conflicts and struggles that have gradually escalated over the years between the principal and the vice-principal.

At such a sensitive time, Huai Shi fell from the sky.

This change was generally regarded by both parties as a blow and warning from the principal to the vice principal. It’s no wonder that supporters of purebloods view Huai Shi as their enemy.

As a result, no one thought about it - Huai Shi had never even seen the principal, and didn't even know what he looked like, so he became the principal's tool in such a muddle!

"This old bastard is nothing!" Huai Shi gritted his teeth and couldn't help but curse.

"Yeah yeah."

The cabin in the forest nodded and agreed: "I heard that Vice Principal Isaac is cold, harsh, and never approachable. This time the teacher comes here, he will definitely be regarded as a thorn in his side!"

What?

Huai Shi looked up at him in astonishment - feeling like he understood something wrong.

"Including before, didn't his student Martin just overestimate his abilities and want to show off his power in front of you?"

If there was no relationship between the two before, Lin Shijiu would still be happy to laugh at the joke. Now that he has become Huai Shi's student, he must put the dignity of his sect first, so naturally he will give Martin a hard thumb.

He also developed hatred and fear for the vice-principal.

"Now that you have become his assistant, he will definitely do something secretly..."

As he spoke, he gestured like he was cutting his neck, with a gloomy expression: "Even if it wasn't like this, he wouldn't let you get the only place in the classroom at such a critical time this year. Someone will definitely cause trouble.

Therefore, it is better for us to strike first.

As long as I, the student, go undercover and infiltrate the pure-bloods, it won't take five days to figure out who is trying to cause trouble inside. By then, I have drawn up a list, and the teacher will be able to calmly eliminate those clowns——"

"wait!"

Seeing that he was getting more and more excited as he talked, he had already talked about how to frame him and secretly kill him, or simply let Huai Shi find a crime and behead his opponents one by one with the righteousness in his hands - as long as he first lured the snake out of the hole, and then surrounded Wei to rescue Zhao, Lin Shijiu is here to hide the truth, Li Daitao is dead, Huai Shi is making an attack in the east, fishing in troubled waters, and finally pulling out the firewood, shocking the ugly people in one fell swoop...

Huai Shi can only be said to be the most promising child of the Lin family, and he is called a thoroughgoing child.

We can only tell him to stop before he gets more outrageous.

"If nothing else, your idea of ​​being an undercover agent is fucking outrageous."

Huai Shi stared at Lin Jiu with an unhappy expression: "Am I here to be a teacher or a fire fighter? Are you a student or cannon fodder?

Besides, I am also the supervisor of the command bureau. Even if the vice-principal dislikes me, will he really kill me with one finger? "

Lin Jiu was speechless.

After doing this, he didn't know whether the certificate of nomination was accepted, and it was so embarrassing, which really made him feel helpless. But after hearing Huai Shi's stern refusal to become an undercover agent and no longer need to be a tool for the second or fifth generation, he suddenly felt relieved.

Isn’t that pretty good?

Lin Jiujiu's undercover plan was strangled directly from the seedlings.

Huai Shi started to have a headache. It seemed that there was still a long way to go to correct this kid's sneaky tendencies. He could only take his time in the future...

But since the student was so concerned about his own affairs, Huai Shi was too embarrassed to throw cold water on him and drive him away. After a soothing and encouraging meal that surprised even him, he finally sent Lin Shijiu back.

After returning home, he subconsciously wanted to discuss it with Crow.

But for the past two days, she had been busy in the basement for who knows what, without showing her head at all, and she even told Uncle Fang not to disturb her if nothing happened.

This gave Huai Shi an even more headache.

Perhaps in her opinion, these things are still within the range that Huaishi can handle, right? If there was really a danger of capsizing, she would definitely be the first to prepare to run away with her.

But having said that, no matter how you think about it, the tacit understanding and trust between the contractors can only be reflected on the road... It feels like there is something wrong.

In the lounge, after playing the piano for two hours, Huaishi finally started thinking.

Clear your mind.

The top priority in his mind now is not the possibility that someone will do something evil next.

He could be sure of this - even if the vice-principal really wanted to get rid of him, he would never do anything random. On the contrary, the more you dislike him, the more you will follow the rules.

There will never be any excuse for others to criticize.

Besides, Huaishi today is not a nobody worth mentioning, and he can be killed easily. Even if he wants to expel Huaishi, he must be able to explain it.

Until Huai Shi has nothing to do with the Ivory Tower, I am afraid that Huai Shi will not even be allowed to touch even slightly dangerous jobs, let alone secretly assassinating people.

I don't know whether it's because there are too many lice but it doesn't itch, or because I've been used to being persecuted for a long time, but Huai Shi doesn't care about this problem.

What he cares about is the spot in the only classroom this year.

Only by truly entering the teaching and research room can he openly come into contact with the Book of Destiny stored in the library and determine its authenticity.

If your competitors have the support of purebloods, you will definitely be at a huge disadvantage without any foundation.

This matter must be considered in the long run...

"How many times have I said that this matter must be considered in the long term!"

In an office in the Tower of Ivory, the old man across the table frowned and looked at his student: "What are you thinking in your mind? Are you blown away by the purebloods who call you brothers? It's so surprising. Want to jump out and fight against him?"

The student was stunned, but he didn't expect the teacher to be so unhappy: "Isn't he just a passing idol? Why are you so anxious, teacher?"

"If he is a has-been idol, can he be invited to the Ivory Tower?"

The teacher's expression became more and more gloomy: "Before you say this, why don't you first see how tall the list of people who died in his hands can be? Compared with just anyone on the list, who do you think you are? Me What else is it?”

"Does he dare to kill people in the Tower of Ivory?" The student argued stubbornly: "Teacher, you are thinking too much. This is a place with rules!"

"Isn't the Astronomical Society a place with rules? Why do you think he wouldn't dare kill people in the Ivory Tower?"

The old man became more and more disappointed, and his expression gradually became indifferent: "Why doesn't he dare to kill me, an old guy who has been teaching all his life, Ross? Or are you going to bet your future with my life?"

Feeling the indifference and chill coming from the teacher, the student's face suddenly became flustered and wanted to explain.

The teacher waved impatiently.

"Okay, after so many years, I still don't know who you are? Wasn't I the same as you when I was twenty-five years old? Am I arrogant because I think I have a little talent? I think I know the truth but I am blind and ignorant. ——

If you really want to sell your teacher to seek wealth, you must not dare. But Ross, even if you want to sell me, you should sell me at a suitable price, right? What can your so-called brotherhood give you? "

The teacher sneered unceremoniously and glanced at the disciple in front of him, "It seems that you have really lost your mind because of your academic pursuits. It's time for you to gain experience - you can apply for an internship later, don't Don't wait until tomorrow to see your group of friends. Once approved, leave immediately, as fast as you can...otherwise you will sooner or later fool yourself to death here."

With that said, the old man pointed to the door of his office, indicating that he could leave.

"B-but teacher...where am I going?" The student stood there blankly, not moving.

"I will arrange a good place for you. Who asked you to be my sister's only son?"

The teacher stared at him for a long time, and finally shook his head: "Just think of this as a lesson, Ross, you are the only one who is leaving now... If you really offend someone you can't afford to offend, you will be cornered today. It’s me and you.”

The student lowered his head in silence, turned and left.

But after pushing the door open, he couldn't help but look back and took one last look at the old man: "Teacher, are you really willing? You have been waiting for so many years, are you going to give up when you are closest to an independent classroom? "

"Otherwise? Are you going to seek death with some dirty tricks?"

The old man revised his lesson plan and answered without raising his head: "I am sixty-two years old, Ross. Do you know what sixty-two years old means?"

I'm so old that sometimes I pee on my shoes when I pee, and I fall down while taking a shower and can't get up.

My life has reached this point. Isn’t it enough that I can end my life in the Tower of Ivory? Why do you have to be a pawn for a bunch of brats who haven't graduated from college yet? "

His pen paused, leaving a sharp scratch on the paper.

"Learn to be content with what you have, Ross," he said. "That's the only thing I, an ineffective old man, can teach you."

This is the final conversation between teacher and student.

The door is closed.

After a long, long time, the lesson plan was finally revised again.

The old man put down his pen and recalled the angry appearance of the student before he left. He couldn't help but lean on the chair and sigh tiredly.

rule?

When you don't take the rules seriously, how can you expect others to abide by them?

It is true that a truly strong person never cares about rules.

But aren't the rules set up to protect weaklings like them who have no talent?

Some weak people break the rules because of greed. Such greed is seeking death.

But some strong people follow the rules out of morality.

This is what Ross doesn't understand.

——You can be dismissive of greed, but you must be in awe of morality that comes from the heart.

Otherwise, as a weak person, how can he maintain his remaining dignity?

On this last day before the start of school, facing the curtain that is about to unfold slowly, I don’t know how many undercurrents are surging beneath the calm surface of the ivory tower.

I don’t know how many people are running around for selfish reasons or public interests.

And just in the evening, there was a knock on the door of Shizui Hall again.

A young man with elegant etiquette was waiting in front of the door. He handed over a token to prove his identity and wanted to talk to the teacher Huai Shi who was sitting quietly in the center of the storm.

In the training room, a sweaty Huai Shi answered the phone and heard Uncle Fang's voice: "Master, a student from the Howler family is here to see you."

Howler?

Huai Shi scratched his head, why did this name sound so familiar? Have you heard it somewhere? But I couldn't remember him and was too lazy to look through the Book of Destiny. I just asked: "Is he also here to apply for a mentor?"

"Does not look like."

"Then see you."

Huai Shi rolled her eyes: "Both of them like to pretend to talk nonsense and waste other people's time - tell him to talk about it after school starts."

He was no longer too lazy to play tricks with these kids.

Even if the other party is a pure-blood, a member of the Howler family, and may have some huge power in the school...but what does this have to do with his Huaihai Road little Peppa Pig?

Since the person who came here is not a good person, there is no need to waste any more time.

If you want to cause trouble then, just wait for the teacher's favorite iron fist and cello to play.

Unlike Lin Shijiu who was cautious and nervous, Huai Shi never took these children seriously. After experiencing so many violent storms, being so cautious about the goblins in Novice Village was a bit too much.

"I see."

On the other side, Uncle Fang nodded without any hesitation, put down the phone and walked out the door.

"I'm sorry, but the young master won't see any guests today."

The old butler informed the young man in front of the door: "Please come back, Mr. Fred."

Without getting angry, the young man raised his eyebrows slightly, suppressed the anger in his chest, nodded slightly, turned around, got in the car and left.

The old housekeeper calmly closed the door again, not taking this trivial matter to heart.

It's almost dinner time.

What should I eat tonight? .

In the car, the returning boy's expression gradually became gloomy.

The girl in the passenger seat raised her eyes and looked at him with a mocking smile: "I told you before, Morgan, your tricks will not be taken seriously at all... No matter how pretentious a child is, he is still a child. , no matter how big the fuss, it will only be regarded as asking for sweets by adults."

"I just want to beg for candy, but what about you, the second sister who is even more outrageous than me?" Morgan sneered and retorted: "Do you want to beg for a beating?"

"You didn't know that." The girl called the second sister showed an innocent look: "The judge is much gentler to girls."

Morgan looked away indifferently, looked back at the Stone Essence Hall that was disappearing behind him, and couldn't help but sneer: "A scoundrel from the Astronomical Society dares to show off in front of me... Let's wait and see!"

.

Just like this, either calm, unwilling, angry, or looking forward to...

With the beating of countless hearts that were either calm or restless, the short night passed quickly.

The long vacation comes to an end.

The first day of school has arrived.
