Chapter 231 An Intense and Anticipated Semester

After an unforgettable night, it was time for everyone to leave the next day.

"We will take care of this place for the time being. It's time for you to go back to school." The kind-hearted teacher hugged the children around her and said to Valk and others.

This teacher and the two assistants beside her were temporarily transferred from Edes Academy to replace the pastor's work. The pastor was taken to the sanatorium for recuperation. The doctor suggested that he rest for a few months before returning.

"Thank you for troubling Madam Xuelin." Valk bowed to thank him, and then waved to the children in the church and left.

"Brother Valk!" Just as he walked towards the aircraft not far away, someone called him from behind.

Several children grabbed the fence of the church yard and shouted to him.

"Come on! Brother Valk!" They shouted again. For these children, Valk was their hope and role model. Because of him, everything in the church was improved.

"Well... I will." Valk waved his hand again, swallowed his throat and answered in a low voice.

The gray aircraft with its wings spread out and emitted blue airflow. The strong wind blowing on the ground made it impossible for the children to open their eyes. Their clothes and hair fluttered. With the roar of the engine, the aircraft gradually rose higher and higher, farther and farther, becoming a black dot in the sky and disappearing.

"Brother Valk will definitely be able to do it." Looking up at the sky with only contrails left, a child murmured. After the teacher behind him comforted him for a long time, he let go of his hand holding the fence.

Back to the prosperous South District 1, there are suspended cars shuttling along the lines everywhere, and various rail transportation is also flowing continuously. The super-large screen displays various information, which makes people overwhelmed. This huge change makes people feel like they have crossed hundreds of years of the world.

After getting off the aircraft, Tilan returned to the Tengluo house where she lived. Anneli had been waiting for her here.

"Welcome back, Tilan." She greeted her in the yard with her skirt lifted, and standing behind her were two rows of maids dressed in the same black and white.

"Long time no see, Anneli." Nodding in thanks, the group returned to the house.

After putting down her luggage, Tilan looked at the clock. It was only 2pm. She had just taken a nap on the plane, so she was not sleepy at this time.

"Did anything happen in the academy while I was away?" The girl picked up her favorite flower tea and took a sip.

"There were a lot of things. I think Tilan will be sleepy after talking about them." Anneli answered jokingly. Tilan used to like taking a nap and often felt sleepy when listening to her report.

"Well, I don't like to feel sleepy that much." The girl replied a little embarrassedly.

"Let me talk about it first. I'm really sleepy, so I'll stand up and move around."

"Okay, let me think about it. Let's talk about the campus first. It's easier."

"In March, members of Indigo Cornflower reserved a high-end restaurant in the South District. They were spotted by students from St. Ingo, so a conflict broke out. The scene was deliberately recorded and posted online, which sparked a lot of discussion, most of which were negative. The academy officials had to apologize and restrict the members of the Indigo Cornflower Club." "

After that, members of the 'Hat and Dagger' Club participated in a niche competition in the star field and won the championship. This helped to restore the reputation of the academy to a certain extent, but because the scale of the competition was limited, the impact was not that big."

"In April, Crystal Lattice Academy invited several major clubs in our academy to conduct friendly training, and seemed to have the idea of ​​​​winning us into an alliance. President Amorth responded flexibly and did not fully express his position. What he meant was that he was about to graduate, and this matter that would affect the next few years would be decided by you, Tilan."

"The new elixir 'Phantom Potion' jointly developed by 'Black Boots Workshop' and our academy has received high marks from the Federal Rainbow Bottle Agency. This type of golden-grade elixir can assist the extraordinary people of the Withering Sequence to advance to the fifth job of the ghost and phantom sequence, with excellent effects and minimal side effects."

"'Phantom Potion' has caused some discussion in the circle of 'Withering Sequence'. It is expected that teachers and students from the academy in the alien domain will come to exchange and learn next month. At that time, our student union will need to send people to guide and accompany them."

"The giant enterprise 'Gray Dust Crystal' has once again added about 6 billion federal coins to our academy. Although the specific reason was not stated on the surface, the academy told me implicitly that it might be because of Tilan." When she said this, Anneli was also very curious about what made Gray Dust Crystal make such a large investment.

"6 billion? I can't imagine how huge the number is." The girl covered her forehead and leaned back on the sofa.

"Are all giant companies so rich? Can they just take out 6 billion?" She couldn't help but wonder whether such a huge sum of money was too much or too little in the eyes of giant companies.

"Well, it depends on what kind of giant company it is. Grey Dust Crystal is roughly in the lower middle of the giant companies, with an annual revenue of about 2-3 trillion, of which the net profit is at least 600 billion, which is probably one percent of their annual profit." Anneli estimated.

"The business in the Four Leaf Crystal Star Region only accounts for about 12% of the 'Grey Dust Crystal'. They have branches and industries in many star regions, with about three million employees in the main body, and tens of millions of people in the involved companies and peripheral holding companies."

"Tens of millions of people? It's hard to imagine." The girl couldn't help but shake her head, feeling that giant companies are huge and terrifying, like giant beasts walking in the galaxy.

"You'll get used to it, Tilan." Anneli looked at the girl sitting on the sofa with her legs hugged, feeling cute and funny, but she still resisted introducing those even bigger giant companies.

Just as many people on Starnet lamented, these huge companies are like independent kingdoms. They have their own organizations, allowing employees to work from birth to death within the company's affiliated industries. If it were not for joining the huge market of the Federation, they would have to compromise some of their power. These giant companies are like ancient princes, and it is difficult for outsiders to interfere and supervise.

"Let me continue to talk about what happened in May. At the beginning of this month, the academy organized a tour. Many students went to the mountains and forests of the South Third District to have a good time. Then there were many students who advanced this semester. There were nearly a hundred more Sequence 5 students in the third grade."

"As for the rest, let me think about it, there doesn't seem to be anything special to pay attention to." Anneli gradually stopped.

"Now let me talk about things outside the school. Is Tilan sleepy?"

"Not yet." Because she had just heard a lot of things related to herself, Tilan was now energetic.

"Hehe, then I will continue~"

"First, at the end of March, it was the birthday of the singer 'Flame Sugar' Pulin Koko from the Swarm Bee Territory Academy. The birthday party was held at sea, and many celebrities in the star field attended. Many media also reported on it in all aspects. This made the popularity of the Swarm Bee Territory Academy soar, and it was even rated as the most popular and desirable academy in the Four-Leaf Crystal Star Field this year, temporarily surpassing Saint Ingo." "

In early April, Thunder Front Academy challenged Crystal Lattice Academy. The participating club was the previously unknown 'Galloping Dragon Lancers', and the challenger was the 'Purple Mist Mystery City' club that was more advanced in Crystal Lattice Academy. As a result, Thunder Front Academy unexpectedly won the battle, which sparked a lot of discussion on the Internet. Some people even think that Thunder Front Academy, which has been at the bottom of the list for many years, will rise up this year and strive for a higher ranking."

"Perhaps it was the defeat in this battle that made Crystal Lattice Academy think of uniting with us." Anneli commented simply.

"In addition, the always low-key Relisa Academy held the 'Angel Advent Ceremony' at the end of April. During the ceremony, two students resonated highly with the Holy Spirit of the Angel of the Sea of ​​Aegeka and received blessings, which were the mystical patterns of the past bestowed out of thin air."

"In May, in order to cope with the impact of the Swarm of Bees Academy, Saint Ingo Academy issued a special enrollment brochure. The general meaning is that if there are students with outstanding talents, they can send a self-recommendation email to the academy, and then an on-site enrollment inspection and assessment will be arranged. If they pass, they will be admitted."

"This has sparked a lot of discussion, because Saint Ingo has always been ranked first, and even wealthy families find it difficult to get in. This time it can be said to have broken the tradition, and the enrollment activities similar to talent shows have also attracted a lot of people to watch and discuss."

"What was the result? Were there any outstanding students recruited?"

"It is said that there were. At that time, a student with a talent rated as [perfect level] was found on the spot. Later, some information was not made public, but there should be 2-3 students with 'perfect level' talents."

"It sounds like it is very effective." The girl covered her mouth in surprise.

"The population of Jade Skirt is about 2.6 billion, and there are more than 30 million students of school age entering high school every year. Among them, there are about 30-50 people with [Perfect Grade] talent, which are basically divided up by the top six famous schools. Although Saint Ingo has some advantages this time, it is not overwhelming." Anneli explained to Tilan.

"So, we have to work hard. When you were away, President Amorth taught me many affairs of the Student Union, saying that he hoped I would be your deputy and assist you in managing the affairs of the academy." At this point, Anneli also straightened her chest a little, saying that she was very useful.

"Annelli will also work hard in the future." Tilan blinked and couldn't help but praise her.

"I will."

"Haha~" A burst of laughter rang out in the room.

After a good rest for a day, Tilan finally returned to her normal state of attending classes and began to make up for the courses she missed during this period. However, because she had studied a lot in advance before, her progress was ahead of schedule, so there was not much to supplement.

Taking extra classes with the club members in a special classroom, everyone has a very harmonious relationship after this period of time, and they often chat and play during breaks, which makes the originally boring extra classes interesting.

"Hey, don't you know this? Why don't you let the mature and beautiful big sister Ruby teach you." Sitting on the desk, Ruby pressed her chin lightly with one finger, and smiled at Gu Luo who was sitting on the desk.

"You only have the advantage of being one year higher than us, so don't come." Gu Luo would naturally not admit that he needed tutoring, which would be too embarrassing.

"Oh~ Mr. Gu Luo, a mature big boy, can you tell me how this twisting light formula constructs the Fresnel lens system?"

"This, uh... I will learn it after looking up the information, so you don't need to point fingers here."

"Okay, okay, it seems that someone doesn't value the personal tutoring of the genius idol Ruby." Ruby stopped teasing her and went to chat with other classmates.

In a corner of the classroom, Tilan sat in the back corner, going through the questions carefully and quickly, and then filling in the answers one by one, and then checking and automatically checking the points, and re-understanding the wrong questions.

As for Dolores, who was sitting next to her, she was not so fast. This young lady looked at the questions slowly and would fill in the answers after a while. Although her accuracy rate was not bad, her speed was far behind Tilan.

Learning is indeed an equal thing. Even if a student has a good family background, he cannot spend money to improve his grades instantly, and it is difficult to surpass those hard-working peers in a short time. Although teachers are also a key factor affecting grades, in today's era of advanced online distance education, there is no generation gap between ordinary people and rich people in elementary and intermediate theoretical education.

The only thing that has a greater impact may be the supply of extraordinary elixirs, auxiliary potions, and extraordinary food that require resource investment.

However, among the top peers, the biggest factor affecting advancement is talent and a little bit of luck. As long as the talent is excellent, even if the family background is not good, there will be academies or companies willing to sponsor, and there will be no shortage of resources. But whether it can be successful in the end depends on personal circumstances and performance, as well as mentality and luck.

After gradually catching up with the course progress, Tilan finally began to take over the affairs of the student union.

"Time is running out, Tilan." Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass wall on the upper floor, Amorth looked down at the familiar academy and said to the girl behind him.

"I will leave in two months. During this time, you will become the vice president of the student union and gradually take over my affairs and some powers. I shouldn't be so anxious, but the previous experience interrupted a lot of my plans. I hope you don't mind and adapt as soon as possible."

"I will, President." The girl put her hands on the recording board in front of her and nodded.

"That's great. I feel that you are more decisive and mature than before. It seems that the experience is really effective." He turned around and spoke with a smile.

"First, let's do some easy work. This time, the famous clothing brand 'Gothic Doll' in the Four-Leaf Crystal Star Region came to us and wanted to jointly release a batch of new products, that is, to design several new clothing with our school style and co-branded, to expand the brand's influence in the young market."

"This probably involves designing clothing, selecting materials, trying on, taking photos, etc. In fact, because they took the initiative to find us, our school has a large voice in the cooperation, so it's easy to decide some things. I believe in Tilan's aesthetics. It would be great if you could do this job." Of course

, he didn't finish the part, which was probably that he hoped Tilan would appear on the front page of the magazine as the model for this clothing, and then the school would promote it and use the girl's beautiful appearance and temperament to attract popularity.

However, this kind of thing cannot be forced. After all, Tilan will be the next student council president. In Amorsi's mind, she is roughly on the same level as himself. After graduation, it is estimated that she will be the kind of person who can keep in touch and help each other for a lifetime.

"I know." After listening to Amorsi's description, the girl nodded to show that she understood.

"Then let's stop here for today. I'll send you the information about 'Gothic Doll' later, which includes the styles and designs they have had in recent years, as well as the market positioning, and the prices and terms offered when our academy cooperates with various companies. You can determine the specific agreement yourself based on the previous template, and then just hand it to me for a simple review."

"Their team of designers will arrive at the academy tomorrow afternoon, with about 6-7 people. Tilan can make arrangements in advance. You can also tell me at any time which members of the student union you need to assist you in your work."

"So soon, they'll be here tomorrow." The girl was surprised.

"Yes, time should be used well, my successor." Amorth picked up the coffee and smiled encouragingly, but no matter how you look at it, it looks like an old fox teasing a little white rabbit.

It seems that this semester will not be boring. There are probably many things waiting for me, the girl thought silently.

However, she is also prepared to deal with these. It is time to make herself stronger step by step.
