Chapter 106 Purpose

After dinner, they went to Grandma Mia’s office to pick up their things. Grandma Mia’s room and office were on the first floor of the Excellence Building.

As soon as Zhang Wei entered the office, she saw Grandma Mia sitting at the desk. It looked like the principal's office because the office was decorated in a classical and serious style. There were many portraits hanging on the walls of the room, but she didn't recognize any of them.

Everyone received a large cardboard box filled with things: a laptop, a corresponding folder for each subject, some even had two, which contained the printed class materials for the week, but no textbooks, and various pens, with pencils alone coming in several different hardness levels.

Anyway, a box of stuff is worth a lot of money, so it’s worth charging such an expensive tuition fee.

Next, they had to start moving them to their rooms. That was fine, but Zhang Wei was thinking, with so many classes in a day, was she just going to run around with a bunch of folders? The German teaching building was notoriously far away and scattered.

After seeing the class schedule, Zhang Wei felt that his good days might be over.

Getting up at 7:30 every day, then having four classes in the morning, three classes in the afternoon, plus a fixed two hours of club activities, Zhang Wei should be thankful that he doesn't like evening self-study in a foreign country.

The courses are divided into compulsory courses and elective courses. Like schools in Country A, the courses in British schools are not unified, but the difference is not that big.

Although Zhang Wei still had some expectations for the course schedule, he still felt dizzy when he saw the bright "Biology, Chemistry, and Physics".

As a pure liberal arts student, she had to face these three courses from the first grade of junior high school. She really had to start from scratch, while liberal arts courses such as history and geography were elective courses.

In addition to these three courses, compulsory courses include English, English literature, mathematics, further mathematics, Latin, and physical education.

Zhang Wei looked at these courses. There were two courses in English and mathematics, which were the school's most important subjects. Plus physics, chemistry and biology, the school was definitely mainly focused on science.

Electives are mostly liberal arts, including geography, history and various languages, as well as art and various sports.

The schedule leaves two free periods for elective courses for each student each week. After choosing, students can hand them in to Mia's grandmother in the evening.

Then their tutors will be assigned on the first day of school.

From now on, this tutor will be fully responsible for her academic affairs, a bit like the class teacher in China in the past, but it is not known how many people will share one tutor, so one-on-one is obviously impossible.

In the afternoon, Zhang Wei reviewed the content of tomorrow's class according to the schedule, and prepared to go out for a walk since he had nothing to do in the afternoon.

Before, she only knew the approximate locations of several teaching buildings here, and wanted to go and check them out first, for fear of being in a hurry tomorrow.

As soon as she went out, she bumped into a fluffy chestnut head sticking out from the opposite door. Zhang Wei remembered that her name was Butch.

"Where are you going?" Her tone was familiar, and Zhang Wei didn't react for a moment:

"Huh? I'm just... just walking around and getting familiar with the environment."

"I'm going too! Wait a minute!"

Then the door closed again with a bang.

Zhang Wei could only wait patiently at the door for her. Fortunately, she came out in just one or two minutes, holding a SLR camera in her hand.

"Let's go. I just want to take some pictures to take back."

Zhang Wei didn't need to answer the questions along the way. She could handle at least three or four people by herself. Zhang Wei only needed to be responsible for the supporting role.

“This building doesn’t look good in close-up photos; it’s too new!”

"yes"

"Is that the lab building over there? It's too far away. The boys' territory must be right next door!"

"Maybe"

In fact, the building has two entrances. The third and fourth floors are used by girls' students on one side, while the first and second floors are used by boys' students on the other side. The middle is closed and the floors are not connected.

"Let's go up and take a look!"

Zhang Wei followed him up directly to the third floor. The classrooms were all locked and there was nothing to see.

Just as Zhang Wei was about to say go downstairs, Butch wanted to go to the bathroom, so Zhang Wei held the camera for her and waited outside.

But she hadn't been in there for a minute when she came out excitedly, urging:

"Give me the camera! I've made a great discovery!"

Then he rushed into the toilet with his camera.

Zhang Wei was a little confused, but curiosity drove her to follow.

Only then did I realize that the window of this toilet faced the boys' school. It was just the end of a class, and groups of boys were walking towards the classroom for the next class.

"Wow! It's Devin after all! He looks really different. Look how handsome that boy is!"

Zhang Wei frowned. It turned out that he was a little nymphomaniac. She was holding a camera and zooming in on each one to observe.

She looked downstairs and wondered if Namier had classes today. It seemed that their boys' school was already in session as normal.

"Vera! Come here, I'll lend it to you to have a look!"

It's not her. Zhang Wei is not sure whether she knows her name.

"No, thank you, Butch."

If she likes to watch it, it would seem too perverted. It makes me feel sick just thinking about it.

"Why not? There might be some of the best boys in the UK gathered downstairs, from eleven to eighteen years old, all kinds of people. Don't tell me you haven't thought about getting a few boyfriends before graduation!"

"So you want a boyfriend now?"

"Why not? I'm thirteen! I'll be of legal marriageable age in three years, and I'm sure a lot of us girls are here for the Devon 'gentlemen'."

Seeing Zhang Wei's puzzled look, she continued:

"Why else would people choose this place over Harrow Girls' School? Even if the boys' school here is doing well, the girls' school is only accepting students in its first year!"

Zhang Wei didn't dare to say that she had really given up Harrow to come here, and she was the first in Harrow's pre-admission examination. Wouldn't that prove that she came to Devon just to find a boyfriend? It was such an injustice.

Zhang Wei was stunned when Butch mentioned marriage. She had always been a child and hadn't learned much about these things. So the legal age of marriage in the UK is sixteen? That's too early!

"I'm only eleven years old this year," Zhang Wei said dryly.

At this time, Butch looked at his own height, then compared it with Zhang Wei's, and sighed:

"Isn't it said that Asians are not tall?"

"I'm definitely not tall, but many Asians are tall."

Zhang Wei is almost 5'6", while Butch only looks about 5'5". With his baby fat, he looks even smaller than Zhang Wei. I didn't expect he's already thinking about getting married...

She could only sigh: Foreigners are really precocious!

"It's still a bit far!" Butch muttered to himself as he looked downstairs, where class was about to start and people were slowly disappearing.

"Isn't there someplace closer?"
