"Hey, hey, hey, this is not a joke, right?" A teacher was shocked when he saw the content about credit cost on the document.
"Credits can be exchanged for legendary or even mythical quality materials? Is this true?"
"That's definitely an astronomical figure!"
"No, did you see the famous teacher tutoring? It says that you can hire the dean for guidance. What kind of person is the dean? He is a demigod!"
Vice Principal Jenny's face changed again and again when she saw the contents. She quickly sent a secret message to Merlin, "Merlin, what are you writing here? That's legendary or even mythical material. There aren't many legendary materials in the Arcane Academy. As for the mythical ones, maybe only the dean has them!"
Merlin listened to the voice of Vice Principal Jenny in his mind and said silently, "Don't worry, Vice Principal. This is just a means to motivate students. The credits required to exchange legendary and mythical materials must be astronomical. It is impossible to complete it."
"What about the dean's guidance on this matter?" Jenny knew the relationship between this kid and the dean. Could it be that Weber was really behind this matter?
"Of course, it's written for the students to see. He's a demigod, how can we hire him to teach students just for credits? Even if the deans of the six major colleges want to teach, the price is astronomical."
Jenny breathed a sigh of relief, and then she felt relieved. She moved her mental power and withdrew from the secret chat with Merlin.
Merlin felt Jenny's mental strength fading. He thought to himself that he had never expected the Arcane Academy to have legendary materials. These were good things that were hard to buy with money. Although others didn't have the opportunity to exchange them with credits, he might not have them.
"In addition, in the fourth year, the credits accumulated by students will determine their job assignment after graduation."
Merlin continued, "I will use all the resources of the college in this regard. Upon graduation, the college will determine the job assignment of students based on the number of credits they have, and even obtain recommendations for high-end positions within the college. This will greatly prevent the situation where people rely on connections to get excellent jobs."
"You're great, kid! You can actually come up with such an idea!" Baker, the dean of the Beast Taming Academy, seemed very satisfied with the credit system proposed by Merlin.
The rest of the teachers also lowered their heads and thought about it. Many of them thought that the credit system was very good, but many others thought that it was too troublesome.
"What a boring system! The credit system is too troublesome to implement. It greatly delays teachers' work. We need to record students' credits and perform calculations, etc. I think it is totally unnecessary!" Wendel said coldly.
What Dean Wendel said does make sense. Recording credits will be a very large and complicated task, and many teachers feel resistant when they think about it.
"Boring? Trouble? Delaying the teachers' work? Dean Wendel, are you kidding? Isn't the job of a teacher to teach students? In fact, I have wanted to say this for a long time. The vast majority of teachers at the Arcane Academy are incompetent. They only know how to delve into their own magic research and ignore the quality of teaching."
Merlin slammed the table hard. "Take the Alchemy Department for example. Every time I go to the teachers' office, I can't see many teachers. Only Dean Harrington is at his work station every day. Where are these teachers? Of course, they are in the Steam and Star Alchemy Workshop. They are all busy with their own alchemy research! What's the point of hiring teachers who only know how to do their own things and ignore students?"
The teachers at the scene were all making a commotion. Merlin's words offended many of the teachers, but before he finished, he continued, "Especially since these teachers are using the money allocated by the academy for their research, and have not achieved any results after years of research. Even the vast majority of them do not generate any economic benefits, and some even use the academy's money to research things that only belong to themselves. Isn't this a bit too funny?"
"Why can you feel at ease enjoying the funding from the academy for research?"
"We don't just care about ourselves. Everything we research is archived," a teacher argued unconvinced.
"It's kept on file, but what next? If the school wants to review your academic research, you have to apply for it and even get a so-called research grant. Don't you find that ridiculous?" Merlin shouted.
"This is all for the great study of magic!"
"Great magic research? Don't be ridiculous. The original intention of establishing the Arcane Academy was to teach students and cultivate them into talents, not to let you do magic research. Under the leadership of your group of people, the Arcane Academy has long forgotten its original intention!"
Merlin asked Yuna and other members of the student union to distribute another document and said, "Do you know that the finances of the Arcane Academy have already had a huge hole? We can only rob Peter to pay Paul. Oh, and we have to beg the nobles of the six empires for sponsorship. In my opinion, this is a kind of charity!"
"Cowardly? Too cowardly! Especially since the funding was used on most of you teachers. I remember that 70% of the teachers at the Arcane Academy are from noble families, right?"
The teachers present were speechless. In the continent of Aize, education has always been something that only the superiors can access. If it weren't for the original principle of the Arcane Academy to teach everyone, it would be a pipe dream for common people to have access to magic education.
It is precisely because of the efforts of the civilian students who were taught at the beginning of the Arcane Academy, passed down from generation to generation, that students from better-off families were gradually able to enter the academy to study. But what about those from ordinary families? Those poor families are still only satisfied with having enough food and clothing and have no time to care about any spiritual needs.
This also caused many amazing talents to be buried among the crowd.
"Merlin, what do you mean?" Harrington couldn't help but ask.
"It's very simple! If you want to implement the credit system, or even promote the overall reform of the college, you can never do without one thing, that is money! Lots of money! Without money, nothing can be pushed forward." Merlin slammed the table and said loudly, his tone full of a firm attitude.
"Money?" The teachers looked at each other after hearing Merlin's words.
"That's right, it's money! Gold coins! Silver coins! Copper coins! And not just that, the buildings of the Arcane Academy, fixed assets, alchemical materials, potion materials, etc., all count!"
Vice Principal Jenny couldn't help but speak up at this time, "Merlin, you also know that the financial situation of the academy is not good now. How many gold coins will it cost to carry out the reform according to your request?"
