Merlin took a deep breath, summoned all his emotions, and said in a magnetic and infectious voice: "Students, do you know how much your parents have sacrificed for you? They get up early and go to bed late, and get up and work before the dawn every day. No matter whether it is extremely cold or hot, or windy, frost, rainy or snowy, they have never slacked off."
He paused for a moment, his eyes swept over the students and parents in the audience, and continued with deep affection: "They are only concerned about your better future and your ability to gain a foothold in this magical world. While you are studying magic with peace of mind, they are silently bearing all the pressure behind you. In order to provide you with excellent learning conditions, they run around and deal with various forces, just to obtain the best resources. Every difficult negotiation, every exhausting journey, they bear it alone, just to allow you to pursue your magical dreams without worries."
As the students in the audience listened to Merlin's words, many of them had tears in their eyes and were deeply moved.
And those parents also sighed: "Finally someone understands our hard work."
However, Merlin still maintained a loving look on the surface, but in his heart he could not help but feel contempt, secretly complaining: "Humph, whoever can enter Dawn Academy is not a descendant of aristocrats, or the richest people in the empire. They only know how to exploit the people on a daily basis, and there is no hard work to speak of."
"They spend their days either gambling or indulging in women, or hosting boring tea parties, or even some immoral water parties. They just indulge in pleasure every day. Ninety percent of the nobles here don't care about their own territories at all. Even if they occasionally check on their territory and are busy for half an hour or an hour, they think they have worked hard and have made great contributions, and then they start to reward themselves with revenge consumption. It's ridiculous, bah!"
But even though he was so disdainful in his heart, Merlin continued his speech with passion and emotion in order to achieve his goal.
Merlin glanced at the audience with a sharp gaze, raised his voice and asked loudly: "Classmates, everyone knows that you were born by your mother, right!"
The audience was moved by these powerful words and responded loudly: "Yes, yes, yes!"
Merlin nodded slightly, his expression turned serious, and he said earnestly: "But, everyone, why not ask yourself, what have you done for your parents? Have you ever washed the feet of your parents who raised you with great difficulty? Have you ever done something thoughtful for them? For so many years, you have always been asking for the best magic equipment and the best learning resources from your parents, but you have never thought about their hardships. Do you think this behavior is good?"
After hearing this, the students in the audience showed shame on their faces and lowered their heads unconsciously.
Merlin saw this and pressed the issue, his words becoming more and more sharp: "Look at your performance in school! Instead of studying magic knowledge, you only want to study succubus, and even skip classes to do some unprofessional things. Look at your current level of magic power, it's so poor, ask yourself, are you worthy of your parents who work day and night for you? They worked hard to send you to the academy, hoping that you can learn something, not waste your time here and degenerate!"
This series of questions hit the students' hearts like a heavy hammer. Many students could no longer hold back their tears. They cried out loudly, "I'm sorry, we were wrong!"
Then, they hugged their parents tightly and cried, "Mom and Dad, I'm sorry..."
Merlin looked at this scene without any mercy and continued, "Do you remember your parents' birthdays? I'm afraid many people can't answer this question. Even when your parents got married, you didn't attend. That was the most important moment in their lives! But you were absent."
The students of Dawn College in the audience cried even harder, choking as they cried, "I'm sorry, Mom and Dad, we didn't attend your wedding... If you get married again in the future, we will definitely attend..."
I always feel like something is wrong. Never mind, I’ll just cry first! If I don't cry, I'll feel a little out of place.
Some students seemed to be about to react, but when they saw their parents’ tearful eyes and were infected by the emotions around them, they started crying too.
For a while, the whole Chenxi Academy was filled with crying. The students wept bitterly, and the parents were also infected by their children's guilt and started crying too. The scene seemed like a sad mourning meeting.
The instructors at Dawn College, who were usually dignified, could not help but have red eyes at this moment and secretly wiped away their tears.
The principal's body trembled slightly, and he was filled with emotion when he thought of his contributions to the college and his family.
Even the well-informed King Orlyus was deeply moved by Merlin's unprecedented "mysterious oriental gratitude education". Ripples appeared in his heart and he couldn't help but raise his hand to quietly wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes.
Merlin opened his arms, looked around the room, and said loudly: "After saying so much, I believe everyone has a lot of feelings in their hearts. At this moment, do you have anything in your heart that you want to tell your parents? Don't hesitate, speak out loud now!"
The audience immediately went wild with students holding their parents' hands and confessing with regret: "Mom and Dad, I have not studied hard in the academy and have been fooling around all day. I know I was wrong. I will definitely change in the future and study magic well and never let you down again."
The parents' eyes sparkled with tears. They nodded repeatedly and said excitedly, "Great, great, great, it's really great. We haven't seen our children so sensible in a long time."
They turned their heads and looked at Merlin with gratitude, saying, "Thank you so much. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have known that the child would have such a big change."
Merlin saw that the time was ripe, so he immediately struck while the iron was hot, raised a beautifully bound book in his hand, and said loudly: "I have heard the students' determination to study hard and felt your strong demands on the stage. Don't worry, I, Merlin, will do my best to satisfy you! Look at this book "Grateful Heart" in my hand. This is a book I spent a lot of effort to write. The book contains countless profound life philosophies. It can not only make you more grateful, but also give you a lot of inspiration on your path to learning magic."
Merlin paused, a sly look flashed in his eyes, and he continued, "Moreover, as long as you buy this book, our Arcane Academy will also give you a three-day trial voucher for the Magic Web Magic Education online course. You can fully experience the high-quality teaching content of our Arcane Academy.
