Chapter 294 Student Apox

"Thank you, teacher, you gave us full confidence in the kingdom!" a student exclaimed convincingly.

Almost all the students applauded and thanked Ancitanos for his wonderful answer.

Someone even shouted: "Teacher, you should tell all the students in the college about your analysis."

"Isn't there still you!" Ancitanos smiled and encouraged the students to promote his point of view.

A voice suddenly sounded in the group of students: "Mr. Ancitanos, according to the analysis method you just mentioned, is Thebes also becoming a youth? Is it possible for it to defeat Sparta and become a new country in Greece. overlord?"

Not only Ancitanos, but other students also looked at the sound in surprise, and the speaker was a boy who looked no more than thirteen years old.

Ancitanos was even more surprised than the other students, because he hadn't really considered the question raised by the other party, so he asked with great interest, "Apox, why do you think so?"

"Teacher." Apox stood up, bowed and saluted, facing the curious eyes of everyone, and replied seriously: "I read some information about the war that is going on in Central Greece. The Thebes After driving out the Spartans and gaining independence, a new democratic government was established, which not only mobilized all the people of Thebes, but also attracted the citizens of the surrounding small city-states. The small army, fighting very bravely, actually resisted the attack of the Spartan army.

The new government of Thebes still has the power to send troops to help other city-states in the Pioxia region, drive out the Spartan garrison, and help them gain independence, such as Tespia. And the city-states that get help will naturally be more closely connected with Thebes...

It has been more than half a year since the outbreak of the war. Not only have the Spartans failed to reoccupy Thebes, but they have made the Thebes more active. They have led the local people to fight against the Spartans in various places in Pioxia. , and they are not at a disadvantage... This situation is not like what you just said, the new government of Thebes is united and enterprising, and the people of Thebes are full of vitality and dare to fight, like a young man who has grown up , while the current performance of the Greek overlord Sparta is slow and clumsy, and has no previous vigor, more like a middle-aged and elderly... Mr. Ancitanos, do you think my analysis is correct? "

The students were amazed, they couldn't believe that such a coherent and insightful analysis had come from a teenager.

Ancitanos knew that King Davos had a very bright child, who performed very well in the Turii School adjacent to Dionysian College, but he did not expect him to say such insightful words. ,

The eyes that looked at the young man became brighter.

"I haven't really thought about Thebes seriously." Ancitanos replied calmly: "Your analysis has given me a lot of inspiration. It seems that I really need to understand Thebes well in the future. It will definitely be of great help for the kingdom to deal with Greece's affairs in the future. However, according to the situation you just described, although Thebes is showing signs of rising, it has just gained independence and has not fully integrated the Pioxia region. It has the power to become a young man. Besides, now it has been fiercely attacked by the Spartans, and it is very likely to die halfway... Of course, if it can survive this war safely, it may have time to become a A terrifying force."

Having said that, Ancitanos looked up at the sky again, and then said to the students: "This is the end of today's class, and we will resume the class two days later. Finally, let us thank classmate Apox and thank him for borrowing Give me a lot of information about Egypt, and today you can hear more detailed Egyptian history from me."

As a student who is still studying in the advanced class of Turii School, Apox actually does not have the right to attend lectures at Dionysian College. It is precisely because Ancitanos borrowed these materials that he took the opportunity to ask for lectures. , was licensed by Ancitanos.

The students all expressed their gratitude to Apox, and did not underestimate him because he was just a teenager.

And Apox, like an adult, returned the salute one by one, neither humble nor arrogant.

Ancitanos saw it in his eyes and appreciated it even more.

After class, the students dispersed. Ancitanos stopped Apox and asked cheerfully, "Which college are you going to study after graduating from Turii School?"

Every year, schools in various cities in Dionia will report their outstanding graduates to Dionysian Academy. The top director of Dionysian Academy, King Davos, and the subordinate colleges of each college are appointed. Together, based on the students' grades and performance and their own wishes, we will initially select outstanding students who will enter the various colleges of Dionia Academy for further study, and then notify them to conduct written tests and interviews, so students who can enter the academy to study , are the kingdom's best talents.

Ancitanos knew a little about Apox and knew that even without his father's help, the bright teenager could easily get into the kindergarten.

The smart Apox understood Ancitanos's intention and became hesitant: "I like history, but I also like mathematics."

The indifferent Ancitanos felt a bit of a headache when he heard it: Mentotik Els, as the dean of the School of Mathematics, is ten times more savvy than Mattikoris, who only knows how to do research. Apox is so excellent, and he is your majesty. I am afraid that this guy has been eyeing him for a long time. If he is not sad, it is very difficult to compete with him!

He looked at Apox, who was young but smart and calm. He really liked it and couldn't bear to part with it. He couldn't help but say, "Since that's the case, you can study both the School of Letters and the School of Mathematics in the academy."

"Is that okay?" Apox was surprised.

"As long as you can guarantee excellent performance in both fields, why not! Like Pythagoras, the famous scholar of Tarantum, who not only created a famous school of mathematics, but also taught philosophy, music, art, etc. He has a lot of originality in other aspects. And scholars like him who are proficient in multiple fields are not uncommon in Mediterranean countries, and I believe you can do it too!..." Ancitanos encouraged him persuasively.

"Teacher, I'll go back and think about it." Apox was a little tempted.

"The class in two days, you are welcome to listen again." Ancitanos finally emphasized.

Apox left the academy and didn't go back to school, because it was past school time, so he went straight south.

There is a large tidal flat between the south of the school and the Krati River. A few years ago, it was transformed into a number of courts by the Turui City Hall. It is mainly used for sports and exercise by the children of the Turui School, and it has also become a playground for the children after school. Favorite place to go.

By the time Apox arrived, the stadiums were already filled with students, and the entire area was enveloped in raucous voices and cheers.

Seeing other children running happily on the field, Apox's blood began to boil, and he accelerated his pace and walked towards the middle field.

"Briantes, pass the ball quickly! Pass it to me!" An unusually high-pitched female voice passed through the loud noise and entered the ear, and Apox smiled: they really are here.

I saw on the field, a short but stocky boy in white lining smashed the opponent, grabbed the football, and then passed to the front court with a big foot.

A slender girl in white in the frontcourt was half a head taller than the opponent's defender. She stopped the ball stably, turned around quickly and wiped the defender who was grabbing, and then buckled another defender before the goalkeeper. Get the ball into the goal with ease before coming over.

The girl shouted and shouted excitedly, and her teammates all came up to applaud her.

Since girls tend to develop earlier than boys, at this age, girls are not too inferior to boys in strength and speed, but often have an advantage in height. In the relatively open social atmosphere of the Kingdom of Dionia, especially in schools, it is not uncommon for boys and girls to participate in sports together, and it is often the children of high-ranking officials who take the lead. Naturally, some people will follow suit, such as Princess Dionia. Eunice. But a sport like rugby with intense, high-touch, cuddling doesn't see girls participating in the game, and football is often seen.

After the tall girl celebrated the goal, she turned to look outside the field, waved at Apox in dissatisfaction and shouted, "Apox, you are late again!"

"Second brother, come on!" Briantes also shouted.

"Go on what!" The tall girl glared with apricot eyes: "Now the field is full, so let you go down?!"

Briantes immediately stopped talking.

"It's okay, second sister, I can be a substitute." Apox said with a smile.

Eunice's expression softened, nodded and said, "You will be a substitute for a while, and then you will be replaced later. Our defense depends on you. But don't be idle outside the court, and help me accompany Nilia first. "

"Nelia?" Apox was familiar with the girls Eunice had befriended, but the name was obviously unfamiliar.

"She is a student who has just been transferred to our class." Eunice had already walked to the sidelines and said softly, "Her father is Myrtias. I saw that she was depressed all day, so I forcibly dragged her here. I love reading as much as you. Go, help me enlighten her."

Eunice pointed in one direction with one hand, and pushed Apox with the other.

Apox saw the girl sitting in the corner of the court, involuntarily quickened his pace and walked towards her, because he was thinking: Myrtias, the commander of the kingdom's 4th fleet, died in Sicily not long ago, picture There was a lot of talk among the people of Liy about his death. Many people believed that it was because of his negligence that the Sicilian fleet suffered heavy losses. In such a bad public opinion environment, his family may be very uncomfortable.
