Chapter 372: The Academy for Training Professional Maids
Walking through the long maid corridor in the hall, Tilan came to the open space in front of the headmaster of the Five Colors and Seven Wounds Academy
at the end and stopped. "Hello." She nodded slightly to express her gratitude, and then continued to speak.
"Actually, there is no need to be so grand."
"No, no, it's rare for classmate Heshia to visit." The fat headmaster said with a smile.
"Oh, by the way, I haven't introduced myself yet. I am Paluk, the headmaster of the Five Colors and Seven Wounds Academy. You can call me Uncle Paluk." After saying that, he turned around and motioned the people behind him to follow.
"Hello, Miss Heshia, I am Weina, the head of the planning department of the academy."
"I am Su Shitan, the head of the security and defense department."
"I am Jiali, the head of the medical and health department."
...
They introduced themselves one by one, speaking very quickly, and then Paluk waved and clapped his hands, and the maids present spread out evenly, and then the long dining table was quickly set up in the hall, and then golden candlesticks were placed, and various delicacies, drinks and wine were also presented.
These maids were not only good-looking, but also moved in an orderly manner. They were neither too fast nor too slow to make people anxious. After doing all this, they stood in two rows again behind the chairs beside the long table.
Since the host had prepared a sumptuous dinner, Tilan, as a guest, could not refuse, so she sat at the head of the table under the arrangement of the other party.
The long table was very wide. Tilan and the school principal sat side by side, and below them were the senior officials of the school. Although the welcoming lineup was large, it also made people feel a little restrained.
Fortunately, Tilan had experienced similar environments before, and she quickly adapted to it. She ate with standard etiquette and answered some polite greetings.
During this time, the two rows of maids behind the crowd took down the empty plates from time to time, replenished the drinks and food, and some even brought paper towels and water. The service was extremely thoughtful, which made people sigh at the well-trained and highly professional quality.
The route these maids took was different from the one Tilan took when she was in the "Glass Dream". They were real servants and the faces of their masters, while the maids of the "Glass Dream" were more like signs with different personalities and characteristics, and they did not pay much attention to uniformity.
Although she was a guest this time, Tilan was also very curious about how these maids were trained. She had done similar work before and could see many details, indicating that these maids were definitely not a temporary group.
After the meal, Principal Paluk took Tilan to the second floor of the hall, where there were comfortable circular tables and chairs, which should be used for discussions and meetings. However, compared with some meeting rooms, the atmosphere here was not so serious and was much more relaxed and comfortable. It seemed that those who advocated style were not the kind of people who liked serious and depressing environments.
"Come, come, classmate Heshia, you can sit here for a while, drink some tea, enjoy the music and the night view. Don't worry about the business, there's plenty of time tomorrow." Paluk called Heshia and found a place to sit down. His full stomach and plump body were like soft dough spread on a round chair.
After that, two maids held air coolers, and the quiet breeze blew on Paluk's body to help him dissipate heat. The school principal also leaned on the chair with his eyes half closed, looking relaxed.
Not long after Tilan and Mel sat down, several maids came over, one holding the same air cooler, and another holding a thick and exquisite picture album and placed it on the table in front of them.
"Good evening, Miss Heshia. Please allow us to introduce you to the relevant situation of the academy. You just need to lean back and rest." The maid looked about 18 years old, wearing a black and white maid skirt made of high-end fabric. The material was rich in texture and not thin. It was fitted and highlighted the figure. The shoulders were slightly loose, and the wrists were tightened, revealing some white folds under the black cuffs. Her slender fingers pressed lightly on her chest, and
she bent over to open the atlas on the table. Then a three-dimensional projection image appeared on the table. Seeing that she was about to speak, Tilan interrupted her first.
"Wait a moment."
"Okay, if you want to listen, you can start at any time." She nodded.
"Not this, I'm a little curious, are you employees of the academy?"
"Strictly speaking, we are students of the academy." The other party replied.
"Huh?" At this time, Mel was surprised, and the gray moon cat in her arms also slipped out, jumped onto the table beside her, and looked up curiously at the other maid in front of her who blocked her way.
"But how can a student become a maid?" Mel said.
"Well, this is actually part of the learning process." The other party explained calmly.
"Not only maid-related work, we also have to learn a lot, such as musical instruments, performance, singing, body shaping, psychological comfort, simple dance, the use of firearms, the application of AI electronic technology, urban combat, etc."
"It sounds very complicated." Tilan couldn't help rubbing her eyebrows, feeling fresh about what she heard.
"I remember that the style of the academy should not be like this before."
"Yes." The other party knew what Heshia was curious about, and then opened the album on the table.
"Then let's start with the most recent change, which was five years ago..." Then the maid operated the projection on the album to show the pictures of that year.
"Five years ago, Mr. Paluk returned from the Central Feather Star Region and took over the work of the previous dean. Considering the lack of future prospects for students and the long-term fatigue of the academy, Dean Paluk carried out drastic reforms."
"In the past, the academy was most famous for the 'Phantom Crystal Mist' developed by the faction. This type of technology makes safe and reliable immersive movies a reality. Even ordinary people without any extraordinary sequences can enjoy the immersive movie environment."
"Without this technology, generally only Sequence 3 extraordinary people can use the Aijiaka network to enter the consciousness world and enjoy the completely immersive visual sensory feast."
"This technology has brought huge profits to the faction, but apart from this technology, the faction has no other particularly outstanding projects and secrets. Now it has been nearly 800 years since the development of the Phantom Crystal Mist. The patented technology has long been open and close to perfection, and there is no longer much profit."
"In order to find a way out, the faction behind the academy has tried many ways, such as the well-known development of new toxin skills or combat techniques, but the effect is not obvious."
"Mr. Paluk is not only the principal of the academy, but he is also a graduate of the academy. When he was young, he studied here like us. He understands the difficulties that graduates face."
"So, he later presided over the reform. The academy no longer forced combat-related skills, but instead focused on practical application scenarios. Moreover, due to the development of 'Phantom Crystal Mist' in the past, the academy has close relations with many film groups and companies, so the principal supports us to go the film and television route. If you can become a celebrity, movie star, or singer, it is naturally a very good choice, but if you are not so lucky, you can also rely on your excellent adaptability to become an excellent maid, or an all-round housekeeper, etc."
Unlike the 'Heat Surge Breaking Sky Academy' that adheres to past ideals, the 'Five Colors and Seven Wounds Academy' has completely turned to reality. This is not a judgment or accusation. The girl has also experienced very difficult days, and she will not say mocking and contemptuous words like those young ladies who have never touched spring water.
Being able to live well and earn money with your own hands is respectable.
However, she was still a little worried. After all, service staff sometimes do encounter very bad and low-quality guests. She had also heard seniors in "Liuli Dream" talk about how to deal with some situations.
"Would you feel uncomfortable if you encountered a difficult and bad situation?" She asked curiously.
"We don't encounter this kind of situation very often. If we really encounter it, we will fight back and refuse."
"In fact, everyone has a misunderstanding, that is, as a maid, you must obey orders unconditionally, but the actual situation is not like this." She shook her head.
"The charm of a maid lies not only in her decent clothes and manners, but also in her spiritual support for the other person. She is his arm and eyes, his assistant in life and work, and a companion who understands him, supports him, and helps him to complete his ideals and career. A slave without personal will and self-idea cannot be a companion, nor can he give psychological comfort to the other person."
Is that so? The girl thought, it seems that it is indeed a bit. If a group of people who have no thoughts and blindly follow others are bewitched by themselves, although they are very comfortable to be flattered and worshipped, they always feel uneasy, because they know that such things are difficult to last long, and they are not attracted by the real self. Everyone just worships the gorgeous appearance that they perform.
But if there is such a maid, she is very smart and opinionated, not blindly following others, and excellent, understands your true side, and still chooses to stay by your side, support you, become your assistant, assist you and encourage you to realize your ideals step by step, or complete your work, will you feel a kind of relaxation and peace of mind? This kind of psychological comfort and relaxation cannot be provided by slaves without will.
Perhaps, this is the charm of the maid. The girl blinked and suddenly understood the guests who used to frequent the "Glass Dream". Why were there guests willing to spend a lot of money just to sit there and watch the maid make a piece of clothing for them stitch by stitch.
This kind of psychological comfort and consolation is indeed lacking in today's urban environment.
Everyone needs to be loved, the girl whispered in her heart.
Then she looked up, smiled gratefully at the maid in front of her, and asked her to continue to explain the history and past of the academy.
Time passed leisurely. When the maid in front of her finished the general history of the academy, 20 minutes had passed. At this time, Principal Paluk seemed to have taken a nap and suddenly woke up. He looked around a little embarrassedly. At this time, the maid next to him bent over to tell him the current situation and indicated that he had not slept for too long.
Seeing that the maid not far away was about to finish explaining the history of the academy to Heshia, Paluk stood up and walked to the seat opposite the girl.
"Take a break first. I'll explain it to Heshia later."
"Yes, Mr. Principal." The maid bowed to thank him, winked at Heshia, and then stood behind the sofa.
"Sorry, I took a nap just now." The fat principal rubbed his head.
"Actually, I didn't say it that seriously, but they said at the time that the records in the school history should be beautified so that it would look good."
"The reason why I came up with this reform idea five years ago is related to my career experience. When I was young, I stayed in the Four-Leaf Crystal Star Domain for a period of time, and I was also working in a film company at the time. However, the entertainment and film and television industry in the Four-Leaf Crystal Star Domain is not very developed, and both the salary and the room for advancement are very limited."
"After that, I went to the central Feiyu Star Domain. It is the center of the Federation and it brings together the best talents from various star domains. Whether it is screenwriters, composers, script planners, photographers, etc., they are far superior to the Four-Leaf Crystal Star Domain. Working there for the first few years, there were new things everywhere, which opened my eyes. Not only did I get to know the film and television industry, but I also learned about the living environment of many upper-class people in the Federation."
"Making money in places with the most money is always easier than in places with less money. The salary and generous rewards in the central star domain are astonishing. This made me very motivated at the time, and I was almost completely immersed in my career. At that time, I was not fat, and I was a healthy young man, hehe." Speaking of this, he also laughed.
"Later, I became a manager of a film company, and was exposed to all aspects of the industry and learned a lot."
"However, after working for decades, I gradually reached my ceiling. It's not that I was excluded or anything, but my talent has really reached its peak."
"Every year, elites from various star fields join the Central Star Field, and there are endless talented juniors. The position I was able to reach at that time was already the limit. To go further, I really need creative talents and abilities far beyond ordinary people."
"I realized that staying here would just be a repetitive life, and I gradually relaxed. I guess it was from then on that I started to gain weight."
"I was originally prepared to spend the rest of my life like this, but I didn't want to receive an inter-star field call from the old academy principal. After his persuasion, I quit my job, returned to the Four-Leaf Crystal Star Field, and took over his position."
"There are various purposes for running a school, but for students, the biggest reason for applying to an academy is the hope that they will have a good future in the future."
"Those who can come to our academy should not be the most talented students. I am not that kind of person myself, but even so, I hope that they will have a smoother future and live a better life."
"I don't like an overly depressing and tense environment. I prefer a more relaxed life. I don't want students to be too uncomfortable, so I can only choose a career that is relatively easy to make money based on my own experience."
"So the film and television industry became the only choice. I also stayed in the introverted environment of the Central Star Region for a long time. Occasionally, I also had the idea of finding someone to talk to and relax. Later, I started maid-related training and so on."
"In the first year, it was criticized by many parents, and not many students really chose it."
"Fortunately, in the following years, the graduates of the previous few classes lived well, and the later students also knew that this choice was okay, so it was gradually accepted by everyone."
"Now the academy often cooperates with film companies in the star region to give students more opportunities to gain experience. Occasionally, for outstanding students, I will recommend them to the Central Star Region after graduation."
"Regarding the profession of maid, I actually have a lot of ideas that break with tradition, but currently it is limited by strength and influence, and it is still in its infancy."
“If we really want to promote it, we must establish a strong industry alliance and regulate the entire industry atmosphere. Otherwise, it will be easy for speculators to ruin its reputation and influence, and that would defeat my original intention.”
“It’s one thing to help students get a good job in the future, but if it means selling out their dignity, I’ll feel guilty. I’m not a good person, I just want to sleep well occasionally. In the central star field, I’ve seen too many people who were eager for quick success and ended up falling.” The fall he described was not just going into jail for breaking the law, but losing his life in an overly dark environment.
This is an era of extraordinary powers. Perhaps the police can find out the cause of death afterwards, but when an extraordinary person fights to the death, the power that erupts in an instant is also unexpected.
Only high-level extraordinary people can hold certain positions, not only because of the huge advantages of extraordinary people over ordinary people, but also because of a certain security and stability.
At night, several people in the empty hall talked about the current environment of the Federation. Principal Paluk also talked about many interesting things in the Central Star Region in the past, which made the maids on the side listen with relish.
After that, the night deepened, and everyone dispersed. Tilan's first night of visiting the "Five Colors and Seven Wounds Academy" was spent.
Who would have thought that the extraordinary faction that developed the widely used phantom crystal mist in the past would now switch to specializing in the training of maids and film and television talents? It can only be said that things change and the world changes.
Maids are awesome~
