Chapter 290 Opening Ceremony
After dragging her stinky brother into the blacklist, Ye Jiaojiao came out of the room with a cold face.
She prepared the ingredients before going to bed last night, and when she woke up in the morning, the millet porridge was already ready in the kitchen.
Ye Jiaojiao called Alice to come for dinner, and Laura and Louisa came out of the room one after another.
Laura and Louisa are both tall. They look energetic in the Imperial Academy uniforms. Their movements are much more agile, and it seems as if one can see their heroic figures on the battlefield.
On the other hand, she and Alice.
"Jiaojiao, why are you looking at me like that?" After serving the porridge and sitting down, Alice noticed the way Ye Jiaojiao looked at her. She touched her arm and felt a little creepy.
"It's okay." After wiping her face, Ye Jiaojiao subconsciously stood on tiptoe and pointed to the kitchen towards Laura and Louisa, signaling them to go and serve it themselves: "I made porridge. After we finish eating, shall we go to the auditorium together?"
Louisa: “Okay.”
Laura: “Thank you.”
At Ye Jiaojiao's explicit instruction, the two of them went to get the porridge on their own initiative. After they finished eating, the four of them left the dormitory building together.
The opening ceremony was at 8 o'clock. Ye Jiaojiao and her group arrived at the door of the auditorium next to the office building on the main campus at 7:40.
All students at Imperial College must attend the opening ceremony.
It wasn't too early at this time, and when Ye Jiaojiao and the others arrived, the place in front of the auditorium was bustling with activity.
There are young freshmen in brand new school uniforms, chatting with each other, their faces filled with excitement; there are also mature and steady senior students who are beginning to show their potential.
After entering the auditorium, the students found their seats and sat down.
At exactly eight o'clock, bursts of salutes were heard outside the auditorium.
At the same time, a figure appeared on the stage in front of the auditorium.
Dean Herbert of the Imperial College is an old man who looks wealthy and cheerful. He always has a smile on his face, but the wrinkles on his forehead and nasolabial folds reveal his advanced age.
The salutes outside stopped as Dean Herbert began to speak.
Herbert: "Hello, students! It's the annual opening ceremony again. I'm very happy to see new students here."
On the stage, Dean Herbert began his speech. With the help of virtual imagers and loudspeakers, his figure and voice spread to every corner of the Imperial College.
Below the stage, in the combat department's first-year student area, Laura sat upright and suddenly whispered, "I heard that Dean Herbert is a well-known good guy."
As soon as the words came out, Ye Jiaojiao and Alice, who were sitting next to Laura, pricked up their ears to listen to campus gossip, but they heard Laura say, "Dean Herbert speaks for at least half an hour at the opening ceremony every year."
Ye Jiaojiao stared at the dean who was talking incessantly on the stage. Half an hour passed in a flash, and Dean Herbert really had no intention of stopping just as Laura said.
"Very good. This year it also exceeded half an hour."
"Don't worry, I have a feeling Dean Herbert might break the record this year. He might even tell us for an hour!"
"Forget it, I'm afraid those junior students can't stand it."
"Look at them, they're all stupid."
"Are you still laughing at them? Weren't you the same way back then?"
Combat seat.
Watching the classic scene that appears at the opening ceremony every year being repeated, the senior students sitting in the back row began to discuss in a low voice, and frequently glanced at the freshmen sitting in the front row. Many talented and strong freshmen heard those discussions.
Everyone has experienced this kind of scene, and no one is an exception. Ye Jiaojiao didn't take those people's jokes seriously, but a few hot-tempered freshmen couldn't help but turn around and glare at those seniors.
"See, I told you to talk too much, and now I'm getting glared at."
"Humph, little bastard, do you think I'm afraid of him? I'll challenge him one on one later!"
"Yo, are you bullying the freshmen so soon?"
"Hahaha! He can only bully freshmen!"
As Dean Herbert's speech became longer and longer, the discussion in the audience continued to grow louder. Just when Ye Jiaojiao thought it was about time for a tutor to come and teach those people a lesson, Dean Herbert stopped on the stage.
As soon as Dean Herbert stopped, the auditorium fell silent.
Herbert: "Hey, why are children nowadays becoming more and more impatient? I've only been talking for a short while and you're already unwilling to listen?"
Herbert: "Well, since you don't want to listen to my nagging, then I will directly announce a good news to you. According to custom, the academy has invited a general director of military training from one of the major corps. This year, the academy has the honor of inviting Major General Si Ming of the Fifth Army to serve as the chief instructor of this freshman military training. Next, Major General Si Ming of the Fifth Army will take the stage to speak."
As soon as the words fell, you could hear a pin drop in the auditorium, and everyone was stunned.
Who did the dean just invite?
One second, two seconds, three seconds, after a brief silence, the auditorium erupted into bursts of intense noise, which suddenly stopped with the appearance of Si Ming on the stage.
It was a formal occasion and the attire was formal. Si Ming appeared on the podium in a solemn military uniform.
Si Ming had never served as the chief military training instructor of any college, and this was his first time appearing at the opening ceremony of the Imperial College. Unlike Dean Herbert, his speech was simple and official.
The whole process from appearance to departure took less than three minutes.
As soon as Si Ming left, the students who were intimidated by his aura immediately came back to life.
"Major General Si!!! It's really Major General Si!!!"
"Was that really Major General Si just now? A living Major General Si. This is the first time I've seen me up close like this. Am I still dreaming?"
"Glory to the Empire! Si Ming of the Fifth Army! He's actually the chief instructor for this class of freshmen!++! Why am I so envious and jealous?!!"
"Ahhh! Is it too late for me to ask my tutor to repeat a year? I don't mind repeating a grade!"
"I want to be trained by Major General Si! I want to be trained by Major General Si!"
"It's not fair! I enrolled last year, and the chief military training instructor was invited from the Third Army Corps. Now, no matter how I think about it, I feel like the school was just perfunctory last year!"
All of the senior students reacted at once, and were filled with indignation. They didn't even care that they hadn't left the auditorium yet and were already complaining and grumbling.
This year's freshmen gradually feel more real with the help of their seniors.
The reality that the Empire of Light will become their chief military training instructor.
Freshman in the Conducting Department.
"Hahahahaha! That's great! I'm lucky I came to the Imperial Academy and didn't accept the First Military Academy's invitation. I'm lucky enough to have Major General Si as our chief instructor. Even if I can't join the Fifth Army in the future, I'll be happy!"
"This is the Imperial God of War! Cool!"
"Rounding it off, I'm a soldier under Major General Si!"
Freshman in the Art Department.
"As expected of the Light of the Empire, not only is he highly respected, he's also the next Patriarch of the Si Family. If only I could cling to such a being."
"I heard that a few years ago, the Si family rejected all the families that wanted to marry Major General Si. They probably wanted to let Major General Si choose the person he likes to marry. I don't know what type Major General Si likes."
