The Lord of Ashes

Chapter 929: Drastic Reform

There were indeed surprises, but there were also many unexpected things.

After Sean obtained the full support of Kester, he delivered a speech at the opening ceremony of the Dark Fire Holy Tower Academy as the second half of the school year was approaching.

And then he introduced the new rules of the academy that he had been thinking about for a while.

When Sean first formulated this new academy rule, he did not discuss it with Dean Kester and other deans too much.

The main reason was that many of the clauses were too unexpected and sensational.

Dean Kester and other deans were all wizards in the wizard world trained by the normal Holy Tower. In some ways, they really couldn't keep up with Sean's pace.

For example, in the new academy rules, Sean emphasized the "Apprentice Elimination Mechanism", or it would be more accurate to say the "Last Elimination Mechanism".

The style of the Black Magic Academy in Mosobra City was to directly throw unqualified and inferior apprentices onto the experimental table, using their bodies to give the academy the last value.

The style of the Dark Fire Holy Tower Academy cannot be so barbaric, even if Sean is the dean, he cannot take human life lightly.

Since death and life crisis cannot be used to give these apprentices a sense of urgency, Sean has to think of other ways.

The last-place elimination mechanism came into being.

In the plan rules for the academy proposed by Sean for the new year, all students of the Dark Fire Holy Tower Academy, as long as they have been enrolled for more than 10 years, will be directly kicked out of the academy starting from the 11th year, if the comprehensive scores at the end of the year are ranked in the bottom 100.

Those whose scores are between the bottom 100 and 300 will face varying degrees of punishment or deduction of academy benefits.

In the major holy tower academies in the wizard world, although some apprentices are expelled every year for various reasons, there is really no holy tower that kicks out apprentices because of insufficient grades.

The last-place elimination mechanism proposed by Sean is not limited to this. After the apprentices in the bottom 100 are kicked out of the holy tower, the contract he signed with the holy tower at the beginning of enrollment will still be effective.

In other words, these unlucky apprentices with the lowest grades will not only face the inability to continue learning and obtaining resources in the holy tower, but also face heavy college debts that will crush their backbones for life.

As soon as this new college rule that squeezes the potential of apprentices was introduced, it really caused an uproar in the Dark Fire Holy Tower.

Even those magicians above the formal level were shocked when they learned about it.

However, Sean's promotion of this rule did not affect the rights and interests of these formal magicians, so everyone was just shocked and did not show obvious support or opposition.

In fact, Sean's approach is understandable.

What is the chance of the apprentices who rank at the bottom of the comprehensive ranking to be promoted to the next level?

The elimination plan established by Sean can also be regarded as saving expenses for the academy.

One hundred apprentices a year, one thousand apprentices in ten years.

If the average number of students enrolled every ten years is 10,000, then Sean is equivalent to saving one tenth of the expenses for the academy.

In fact, the number of students enrolled in the Holy Tower of Dark Fire is far less.

In addition to this most fundamental last-place elimination mechanism, Sean has also made drastic reforms in many other areas.

For example, shortening some classes and adding more practical tasks.

All apprentices, starting from being promoted to low-level magic apprentices, must perform mandatory outdoor combat missions every year.

Or go to the Warcraft Forest to collect materials, or eliminate thieves and robbers who are causing trouble.

There is another hidden content that all apprentices don’t know, and only a few high-level people above the vice-dean of the Dark Fire Holy Tower, such as Sean and Kester, know - when apprentices perform these mandatory combat missions, the casualty index will be increased from the original 3% to 10%.

Originally, Sean planned to directly increase it to more than 20%, but was strongly opposed by Dean Kester.

Casualties are not equivalent to death. Sean doesn’t think it’s bad to let these apprentices get injured or suffer a little loss.

But Dean Kester still tends to be stable, and he is not as radical as Sean at the beginning.

This also reflects a fact that the major Holy Tower academies actually have a detailed control over all aspects of their apprentices.

For example, how to achieve the casualty index?

Next, Sean will have to go to the Warcraft Forest around the Dark Fire Holy Tower Academy and reach a consensus with those Warcraft lords.

This is a secret that only magicians above the dean level of the wizard world can know.

Ordinary first and second level magicians probably haven’t heard of this.

Sean only found out about this after he became the dean.

It turns out that the Holy Tower has such a "cooperative relationship" with the Forest of Monsters in the area.

In addition to the above content, Sean's reform also includes reducing the basic welfare of apprentices and increasing a large number of rewarding college tasks.

These college tasks include not only combat tasks such as going to the Forest of Monsters or eliminating bandits, but also daily life tasks.

Helping college instructors and magicians above the official level to complete experiments is the most common college task. In addition, the new rules announced by Sean even include the strange task of cleaning the college floor and classrooms.

Originally, these cleaning tasks were completed by several alchemy puppets in the academy, including the magic circle in the academy hall, which also had related cleaning functions.

But Sean stopped those alchemy puppets and turned off the cleaning function of the magic circle in the academy hall.

One of the reasons Sean did this was to save energy for the academy.

Although many Santa magicians don't know what these apprentices can learn by letting them go to clean.

But most magicians support the various reforms of the Santa Academy.

Because many of them are beneficiaries, especially the academy issues tasks to make these magic apprentices become free labor in their laboratories.

Of course, the fact that he can get so much support is also related to Sean's reputation created in the battle of the petrified forest.

Dean Kester is one of the people who understands Sean's approach because Sean communicates with him the most.

In Kester's words, Sean has mobilized the initiative and ambition of these magic apprentices to the extreme.

The change in the rules of the academy is not just a doubling of downward pressure.

On the upper level, Sean also proposed to provide magic coins or props and materials to the top 100 outstanding apprentices in the academy every year.

In fact, other holy tower academies also have corresponding reward rules, but none of them are as extreme as the Dark Fire Holy Tower.

In particular, the last-place elimination mechanism is like a spring for all apprentices, forcing them to keep moving forward.

In recent years, Vice Dean Bob has been close to Sean and is considered a member of his faction.

Faced with such drastic reforms in the Dark Fire Holy Tower, Bob couldn't help but sigh that it was no wonder that Dean Sean was chosen by the tower master.

From some aspects, Sean is indeed very similar to Dark Fire.

It has been exactly ten years since Sean became the dean this year.

So the apprentices who were recruited by him personally were very lucky to become the first batch of experiencers of the academy's new rules.

At the opening ceremony, when Sean was speaking, he did not notice that there was a little guy looking at him with respect and longing.

This little guy is Fern. After ten years, he has grown into an intermediate magic apprentice.

This achievement is outstanding in the entire Dark Fire Holy Tower.

The little guy hopes that he can reach the same level as Sean one day in the future. The only regret for him is that in the ten years of studying in the Holy Tower, the little guy did not find a public course taught by the dean himself.
