Yuna frowned slightly, looking at Merlin who was immersed in his "creation", and asked: "Merlin, you will go to Dawn Academy to give a speech tomorrow. Have you thought about what you are going to say?"
Hearing this, Merlin slowly raised his head, a sly smile appeared on his face, and he said, "I've thought about it. I plan to give them a little gratitude education!"
"Gratitude? What is that?" Yuna looked confused. In her understanding, when she went to speak at other academies, most people would talk about magic knowledge and share some valuable experiences. "Why not talk about magic knowledge? Or maybe talk about the results of your reform of the Arcane City and your teaching philosophy. Wouldn't that be more appropriate?"
Merlin waved his hand lightly and said nonchalantly, "That's nothing to talk about. Even if I teach them something real, they won't implement it because the reform will affect the interests of too many people. Of course, the most important thing is that it will delay my making money from selling courses."
"???" A series of question marks instantly popped up in Yuna's head. She really didn't understand what Merlin was up to. What was the connection between making money from selling classes and speaking at Dawn Academy?
Merlin saw this, smiled and took the coffee handed to him by Yuna, took a sip, squinted his eyes in enjoyment, and then said mysteriously: "You will know tomorrow."
After saying that, he lowered his head and continued to fiddle with his articles, as if he couldn't wait to see his "wonderful performance" at Dawn Academy tomorrow.
The next morning, the faint light of dawn gently fell on the earth, and Merlin and his group slowly headed towards Dawn Academy.
When the gate of Dawn College comes into view, the luxurious atmosphere that hits you in the face makes you gasp.
The gate is carved from a single piece of white marble and inlaid with sparkling magic crystals, which refract colorful light in the morning light.
The doorposts are meticulously carved with intricate patterns, and every detail demonstrates exquisite craftsmanship, as if telling the long and glorious history of the academy.
As you step into the college, the scenery inside embodies luxury and nobility to the extreme.
On both sides of the broad main road stood exquisite statues, all of which were famous figures in the history of the Dawn Empire. Their figures sparkled in the sunlight.
Merlin even saw a sculpture of his own grandfather, Herbins Leo, back when the Fair Game hadn’t started yet and the Leo family name was still on the back.
In the middle of the road, there is a huge magic fountain placed at a certain distance. What is sprayed out from the fountain is not ordinary water, but magical liquid with a faint fragrance. Under the effect of magic, it transforms into various wonderful shapes, like a dream.
The buildings in the college are dominated by warm gold tones, and the roofs are covered with expensive glazed tiles, which sparkle brightly under the sunlight.
The walls are decorated with gorgeous tapestries and precious magical paintings, all of which are priceless.
The layout of the entire college is like an exquisite aristocratic manor. Rather than being a place to focus on learning, it is more like a place for people to appreciate and show off their wealth.
In the center of the Dawn College playground, almost all the teachers and students of Dawn College have taken their seats. Sitting on the neatly arranged chairs, pairs of eyes are looking towards the high platform in front of them.
At this time, Merlin was standing on the high platform, chatting cordially with the dean of Dawn Academy, King Orinth and others.
The dean of Dawn Academy was dressed in a gorgeous magic robe, which was embroidered with runes that symbolized the glory of the academy. He had a slightly restrained smile on his face and nodded from time to time in response to Merlin's words.
King Orinth was dressed in a solemn royal robe and a jewel-studded crown on his head. His expression was majestic but with a hint of expectation. His eyes glanced back and forth between Merlin and the teachers and students in the audience, as if he was expecting an extraordinary speech.
The students in the audience all had gloomy faces and stared at Merlin on the stage with extremely unhappy eyes.
They were whispering to each other, and their words were full of disparagement of Merlin.
"Him? He's so young, how can he say anything useful? I think he's just here to show off." A student in a gorgeous magic robe said disdainfully.
"That's right, what real ability can the Arcane Academy have? It's all just bragging." Another student echoed.
The topic suddenly changed, and one student complained quietly: "Tell me, did my family go crazy yesterday? They beat me up."
This statement instantly resonated with countless people. A chubby student said with a bitter face, "Yeah, my butt still hurts now, and my body is covered with welts. I don't know what happened to my parents yesterday. They suddenly asked me some completely incomprehensible magic questions. I have never even heard of those questions before."
A skinny student next to him nodded quickly: "Brother, I'm the same as you! Not only did my parents ask those weird magic questions, they even asked me about succubus. I was totally confused at the time."
"I know why!" A well-informed student lowered his voice and said, "It's because my parents used the communication crystals to read those posts about the education of the Arcane Academy, saying how amazing the children of the Arcane Academy are. We can't compare to them, so this is the case."
"They just believe those posts? How is that possible! No matter how powerful the Arcane Academy is, how much better than our Dawn Academy?" A student retorted with a frown on his face full of disbelief.
Because of these things, this group of students naturally developed a lot of hostility towards Merlin and others.
It's not just the students, but the mentors standing by also have bad intentions.
They exchanged glances with each other, secretly planning to ask Merlin all kinds of tricky questions when he was explaining magic knowledge, so as to make him look bad in front of everyone and suppress the arrogance of the Arcane Academy.
After all, in their hearts, Dawn Academy is the leader in magic education in this land, so how can they easily allow a young outsider to give orders here?
The people around Merlin carefully adjusted the magic loudspeaker, and after testing the magic fluctuations one by one and confirming that there were no problems, they nodded in agreement.
At this time, King Orinth took a step forward. He stood tall and majestically, and glanced at the teachers and students in the audience. He cleared his throat and slowly said, "Today, our Dawn Academy welcomes a distinguished guest - Merlin, the president of the Student Union from the Arcane Academy. Merlin has extraordinary achievements in the field of education. His arrival is undoubtedly an honor for our academy. I believe that in the following exchanges, everyone will gain a lot from Mr. Merlin. I hope that all students and teachers can maintain a humble and studious attitude and cherish this rare opportunity. Now, let us welcome Merlin with warm applause!"
