The empire paid attention to education after the last war
Dozens of academies were built throughout the empire
The empire even supported neighboring countries to build academies and schools to spread education
If you ask anyone who is the best academy in this world, they will answer you immediately
Imperial Academy
This academy was like a rising sun that overshadowed all the academies around the world
The best fighters and scholars gather in that academy to teach students
Most important of all is the system created by this academy
It was a strict system that prevented anyone from using the power of their family
Anyone who dares to violate the academy's rules will be expelled without exception
There were many cases where members of noble families who were taking advantage of their background were expelled
The families of these noble students could not object to the academy’s decision because the imperial family stands behind the academy and directly supports it financially and militarily.
The Imperial Academy was the center that produced warriors and scholars who served under the Imperial Family
If you dare to confront the academy, you will be directly standing up to the imperial family
This is what made the Imperial Academy the best destination for all students who do not have support
They will receive the best possible education with the finest resources
At the same time, they will be protected by the imperial family
This system was not built overnight. Rather, it took decades of hard work involving academy principals and instructors over generations.
But this system, which had taken two centuries to build, was destroyed by Alexander in a single speech that lasted only fifteen minutes
----------------------
The Academy Council was holding an urgent meeting due to the chaos that occurred after the new students' reception
Frederic was resting in his chair, looking at the papers in his hands. “How many wounded?”
One of the instructors stood up. “There are twenty students injured so far.”
"I can't believe there were three fights in one night." A woman with long blue hair shook her head with a helpless smile
The instructors looked at each other strangely
They knew very well the cause of these problems
Alexander's speech was the spark that started the chaos
This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author's work.
Alexander's speech contained information about incidents that occurred at the academy several years ago, but academy officials were able to bury these incidents and prevent them from spreading widely.
The apple pie incident was the most famous of these incidents because many were making fun of the cause of this accident
The public did not know what was happening in the back rooms so they accepted the statement issued by the academy
But the problem is that there are other incidents
Such as a harassment incident that occurred at the academy ten years ago
According to information, one of the female students was assaulted by some male noble students when she was studying alone in the library at night.
What made matters worse was that this student was from an ordinary family, which made many think that this issue was related to racism against ordinary students.
Information spread that it was a case of harassment
Only a few instructors and the academy principal knew the truth
This student was very beautiful, which made many female students jealous of her
In the end, the noble female students incited some male students to assault her
Nothing serious happened because this student was able to escape from them
It was just a crime out of jealousy
But there were many students who belonged to noble families who were involved in this incident
The imperial family did not want to lose the support of these noble families, so the punishment was commuted and they were forced to pay compensation to the victim instead of expulsion.
When Alexander spoke about this issue in his speech, it seemed as if any female student who stayed outside her room at night would be attacked by some perverters.
Alexander spoke about more of these similar issues
This left the instructors speechless
Doesn't this kid have something better to do than dig into the black history of the academy?
The consequences of this speech were serious in a way that none of the instructor could have imagined
Even the academy principal looked at Alexander's speech as a bit funny, but he didn't think for a moment that anyone would believe this nonsense
The thing that none of them thought about was that most of the students who joined the academy were from commoner families
They did not mix with the nobles or deal with them directly
In their view, the nobles are dangerous and take advantage of their positions to play with the lives of the common people
Alexander's speech increased their fears
Immediately after the speech ended, students began to gather in groups
This would have been normal and welcome under normal circumstances, but the new students had gathered in two groups. One group consisted of only ordinary students and another group consisted of only noble students
The academy invited students to form groups of students coming from different backgrounds to exchange opinions, ideas and help each other
The primary goal of this step was to strengthen the bond between students and eliminate racism among them
But this year's students were extremely dispersed
Each party looks at the other party with suspicion and caution
This subsequently led to fights on the first day of the school year
There were one or two quarrel every year and the problem was quickly resolved by the academy
This year, there were three fights in one day, and this number threatens to rise if they do not address the problem quickly
“Any suggestions?” Frederic's question was directed to all the coaches, but he was looking specifically at Eric
A week ago, Eric came into his office and begged him to let Alexander Ford give a speech at the reception.
Eric was a hard-working person and had not taken a vacation since he started working here ten years ago because he was an orphan, so he lived at the academy.
Frederic was surprised by his request. But he accepted after a moment of thought
He felt he had to give something to reward Eric for his efforts
All Eric asked was that Alexander be included as one of the people who would speak at the event
What is the worst that could happen?
But Frederic did not imagine that this ill-considered decision would lead to the greatest disaster that the academy had experienced since its founding
So he waits for Eric to fix the mess he made
Eric smiled as he adjusted his round glasses. "Don't worry, boss, I will solve this problem."
Eric got up and left the meeting room without saying another word
“…” Frederic looked at his back silently
Why does he feel that entrusting this task to Eric was a huge mistake?
-------------------------
Why?
I was heading to my class like any typical student
But my path was intercepted by the nuisance named Eric, and he dragged me to his office without knowing what his goal was.
"Professor Eric, I have to go to class." This is the perfect excuse to escape from here
Eric smiled. "Don't worry, classes have been suspended for two days due to the accidents that happened yesterday."
accidents?
I think I heard about fights between first year students
I could only shake my head at their actions
This generation seems to have a lot of problematic kids
But I didn't find out what this man wanted from me
“Do you need something from me, Professor?”
Eric's smile widened terrifyingly. “We got a chance to fix what happened yesterday. You should use this opportunity to make new friends.” Eric's eyes were ablaze with excitement
"..." Why is this man so obsessed with helping me make new friends?
"I think we should give up."
This time I will refuse to participate in his plans even if it costs my life
Eric looked at the ground guiltily
“...” I know this look well
There is definitely a problem
“They will blame you.” Eric spoke with a sigh
“I was not part of those quarrels.” I frowned when I heard his words
“It's because of your speech yesterday.”
I didn't understand what he meant
Is there something wrong with my speech?
In my opinion, this speech is considered one of the greatest speeches ever given in the history of this academy
Because I directed the students towards the right path to avoid problems and live a peaceful life
I used some examples that I knew of previous incidents to make my speech more convincing
Eric scratched his cheek. “They need someone to hold responsible for what happened, so they will say that your speech incited the students to make trouble.”
"...." Am I now guilty?
This is clearly a shameless slander
“What will happen then?”
Eric paused for a moment, then spoke slowly. “You will have to pay a fine of five hundred thousand currency.”
I stood up with serious eyes
This problem must be solved or I will have to live the rest of my life paying debts
