On his first day of school last September, Zheng Qing and his friends had a fight with Arthur Ness from Alpha College on the pedestrian street of Beta Town.
Then they received a "red notice" from the school and had to accept the penalty of voluntary labor for six months.
Most of Zheng Qing's troubles in the past year were ultimately due to that punishment. So he was very sensitive to this matter. To be honest, he felt that his conflict with Arthur Ness was at best a slight obstruction.
The traffic, not even a few pieces of clothing were torn, is really nothing compared to the scenes in Lei Zhe or Augustus.
So after hearing Fatty Xin’s analysis, the young public-funded student immediately thought of his own experience last year and felt a sense of injustice: “Why should their fights be handled by Beta Town, while our fights should be handled by the school?”
"Because they are the leaders of the Blood Friendship Association and the Divine Will," the fat man curled his lips, and his voice seemed to come from his nose: "There is nothing new under the sun. Powerful people can always get more than ordinary people.
A lot of preferential treatment... maybe this is life."
The last sentence he said was quite sad.
But this does not comfort the wounded hearts of young public-funded students.
However, Dr. Xiao Da's analysis based on reason and reality is more convincing.
"This kind of thing is inherently ambiguous, and the school can use its discretion." Xiao Xiao put forward his own opinion from a very practical perspective:
"When we were punished last year, we were freshmen and had an accident before we even entered the school. If the school didn't handle it, it might give some wrong hints to other newcomers... From a management point of view, we should be dealt with strictly and quickly.
'No harm' to the school."
He spoke the last four words very clearly.
"I didn't expect you to also study management." Zheng Qing complained about another point in the doctor's words.
Xiao Xiao ignored him and continued: "...and those who destroyed half the street yesterday were two students in name, but actually two student organizations, and they were the most powerful and influential ones in First University.
Two student organizations - these two student organizations have a large number of high-level wizard alumni in the wizarding world and a large number of outstanding student members within the school. Dealing with them harshly will not be beneficial to the school. And if you are not careful, you may...
Provoking greater chaos."
"And right now, nothing is more important to the school than stability."
Zheng Qing understood this deeply.
From the resurgence of silence, to his hearing with Soprano, from the murloc tribe riots to the centaur tribe protests, and even the hasty end of the winter hunt last year and the low-key reaction of the school after he blew up the Silent Forest this time, it is all very clear.
illustrates this point.
The school needs stability very, very much now.
"...In my opinion, although the school has handed over the handling of the incident to Beta Town, it does not mean that the school will not take any action in this regard. It only means that the school will not follow the rules such as 'illegal use of spells' or 'attempted murder'"
'Personal injury', 'fire and damage to other people's property' and other criminal serious crimes to hold those young wizards accountable."
Xiao Xiao turned around, took one last look at the blurry figure in the distance, and said softly: "Nothing goes wrong, Lei Zhe, Augustus and all the wizards involved in the fight will still receive punishments of varying severity... From now on
Warning to probation. But no one will be expelled or transferred to Dan Hager."
"The First University has always been very wary of the Wizards Union using excuses to influence events," Fatty Xin nodded in agreement and poked the sky with his finger: "They will not allow Dan Hager to exert influence on young wizards casually.
of……"
"As for Lei Zhe and Augustus, who are the general persons in charge," Xiao Xiao raised his voice slightly, indicating that his analysis was not over yet: "According to the original plan, this year's Lei Zhe and Augustus will meet this summer."
'Retire', but because of what is happening now, their 'retirement' time may be much earlier..."
The doctor's last conjecture is very unexpected, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that it is very likely.
When Zheng Qingzheng lowered his head and thought seriously about this possibility, a crisp voice suddenly rang in his ears:
"Hey, you guys come to see Nicholas too?"
The young public-funded student was very dissatisfied. He raised his head and happened to see Li Meng running over. Not far behind her was the door of the school hospital. The door was sparsely crowded, and there were a few staff members in white robes passing by.
"You are a bit slow in coming. Downton has just left with his little brothers. If it were earlier, you could meet the condolence group of the Divine Will. It is indeed the largest group in Jiuyou. They gave Nicholas a gift.
This whole set of statues is made out of the teeth of fallen vampires. If you inject some magic power into it, they will kneel on the ground and kowtow vigorously!"
Li Meng's little mouth was like a machine gun, chattering non-stop, and the topic changed quickly. One moment, she was talking about the bad impact of Downton's free use of class fees, and the next moment she started to analyze with great interest whether Alpha Academy would be successful.
Someone was also sent to express condolences to Nicholas, and her cousin had stayed with Liu Feifei in the school hospital all morning.
Zheng Qing felt dizzy after hearing this.
Immediately afterwards, he put a light touch on his hand and looked intently, but it was the little witch who had taken the box from him at some point.
"Did you also bring gifts to Nicholas? What did you bring?"
The little witch familiarly led several boys to Nicholas' ward, and at the same time shared her experience of giving gifts with them: "I would say giving flowers is the most cliché... They are all boys, can you give them something hard?
Something like a stack of explosive charms? I think Nicholas should really want to blow up Alphaburg right now."
Before Zheng Qing could think of how to respond to the little witch's "enthusiastic" suggestion, Li Meng had already put her eyes into the gaps in the gift boxes and observed the boys' gifts.
In the box were snacks that Zheng Qing brought for Nicholas, including a box of dumplings stuffed with frog meat and crispy fried frog legs. Originally, he wanted to bring an extra bottle of frog juice, but was severely stopped by his two companions.
Already.
"That stuff is cold and not suitable for sick people." Fatty Xin has always been very reliable when it comes to food. So Zheng Qing followed his advice and gave up the bottle of frog juice.
"Frog meat dumplings, fried frog legs, and a frog doll with a smashed face...Are you kindergarten children?"
The little witch observed the gift that Zheng Qing was carrying through the gap, and the expression of disgust on her face became more and more serious. Until finally, she seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly opened her eyes wide: "Or, have you discussed it with my cousin?
"
"Huh?" Zheng Qing looked confused.
"The gift my cousin prepared for Nicholas is similar to yours." Li Meng's answer made the boy break into a cold sweat.
His two companions looked at him with strange eyes, making him feel like he was standing on pins and needles.
