The day's work was over, and the students in the courtyard gradually returned from their respective positions.

The air is filled with a kind of tranquility after the busyness.

Those who work in various areas, farmland, mine caves, power plants, and urban construction areas have put down their tools and started to gather towards the common catering area.

This is where the courtyard originally exists, and it is called the Temple Tower.

This area is much more spacious than any traditional canteen or restaurant.

Surrounded by tall columns and transparent metal walls, it has a sense of futurism and does not lose the unique natural atmosphere of the courtyard.

The ceiling is towering, simulated moonlight sprinkling through the huge transparent dome, illuminating the entire hall, soft light and the light on the dining table.

In the center of the hall, there is an extremely large dining table that can accommodate almost 300 students to dine at the same time.

The table is filled with food, colorful and fragrant.

Everyone has their own position and is arranged in an orderly manner. Although there are many people, the atmosphere in the hall is not a trace of noise, but instead has a wonderful sense of stability.

In the middle of this dining table, the young man with blonde hair and golden eyes smiled and talked to the students.

Unlike other leaders, Xia Xiu did not stand tall. He sat at the table with the students. In front of the plate was a bowl of warm soup made of unique plants in the courtyard, emitting a faint fragrance.

.

Xia Xiu wore clothes when he was with the students, which was different from the serious and majestic black windbreaker formal wear in his previous impression.

On the contrary, his clothes were simple and simple.

He was wearing a white linen robe, with no unnecessary decoration on his body, and was extremely simple; and outside him was covered with a simple loose long cloth surrounding his handsome and upright body.

Under his feet, there were only simple sandals, with simple colors, which complemented the white of the robe.

After careful observation, the students discovered that in the earthly courtyard, their principal, Hugh Abraham, often dressed up in this way.

In fact, only two characters often dress up in such a simple dress in the courtyard.

One is the principal, the other is the ancient Site.

However, the ancient dress is slightly different from the style of the principal in the subtleties, while other courtyard staff, whether they are the academic director, or Tours, who is known as the Prime Minister of the Administration and the vice president of the courtyard.

They all wore more formal and sophisticated clothing, demonstrating their respective powers and responsibilities.

This outfit also seems to be a symbol of a certain identity.

It has been heard that sword holders in the Kingdom of Heaven often have such simple and simple clothes, which are not only for comfort, but also a sign.

Mu, the third sword-holder in the Kingdom of Heaven, often dressed up in this way, and under normal circumstances, other angels would avoid wearing the same clothes as this kind elder.

——This is a certain default rule.

Just like in some ancient countries, they each have their own specific national costumes.

Generally, everyone can wear it.

However, in certain specific occasions, it is not something that everyone can wear.

In certain occasions, only those who are truly at the peak of power can dress up this way.

Even the people wearing this clothes will be distinguished from each other, and only some high-level figures can wear the same clothes on the same occasion.

Now, the students have been busy all day, tired but satisfied sitting at the long table, dining and talking to each other, and in this lively atmosphere, there is a special tranquility and focus that attracts every pair of eyes.

That is where the principal is, and he will always be the focus of students' attention.

Usually at this time, it is the conversation between the principal and the students.

Xia Xiu and students' ideas exchanges are generally carried out according to the questioning method. They do not give answers directly, but guide the other party to think through a series of in-depth questions. Asking questions is usually progressive layer by layer.

This method is not to "tell" the other party the correct answer, but to help them discover the answers themselves.

Unlike previous daily life, the atmosphere of the dining table this time seemed particularly solemn, especially the two students sitting together.

——Joseph Gardner Swift.

——Mikhail Tukhachevsky.

The two of them are the few students who often ask questions to the principal. Most of them are awe-in-law enough about the principal, so there are always fewer questions, and only these two people often ask questions.

Although the two sat not far apart, they still didn't have much conversation.

Joseph Swift is a descendant of a typical Edish Federalist elite family. He has a pair of indigo blue pupils, a high nose, a bright line of cheeks and chin, and a head of golden medium-length hair.

As the most typical Edish, Joseph was instilled with a sense of superiority and a strong individualism since childhood.

Joseph's father was a well-known entrepreneur and his mother was an active member of the political circle.

Living in this environment since childhood, Joseph was exposed to politics, technology and the most cutting-edge ideas of society early on. Although he was not in a hurry to engage in a political career, his family background always gave him a sense of confidence and superiority.

In his eyes, the world is full of competition, and only by constantly moving forward can we have a place on this stage.

Mikhail Tukhachevsky, who was sitting opposite him, was a typical Eastern Olegin youth.

These Olegin people living in the Far East have slightly yellow and white skin, one short inch at the end, a pair of big black eyes, slightly double eyelids, a lower nose bridge, a higher cheekbones, and a strong body.

He was born in an ordinary working family, and his family did not have any prominent background. His parents were small employees who worked diligently in the coal mine village of the Oreting Mobile City.

Olegent is a country that emphasizes collectivism and the state-dominated economy. Because of the numerous natural disasters, their social thoughts always emphasize social responsibility, collective cooperation and the ideology of dedication to the state and the emperors and the heavenly people.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Tukhachevsky was influenced by this collectivism since he was a child, so he is always full of a sense of responsibility that is a mixture of loyalty and awe.

However, this sense of responsibility was deeply torn apart under the impact of natural disasters.

As the natural disaster collapsed, it was easily abandoned by the people of the moving city.

The urban area where the coal mine village is located is directly separated and placed on the road to natural disasters.

When he witnessed his hometown, family and life as he knew was ruthlessly abandoned, the collapse and impact of his heart almost made him have a deep enough understanding of the country he was loyal to and the class in that huge machine...

.

At that moment, he realized how deep the gap between the ideal and reality he believed in was.

It was also at that moment that Tukhachevsky's worldview completely changed, and he began to understand that loyalty and responsibility alone could not bring about any change.

——Survival is the most basic need.

Fortunately, the [Mobile City Utopia] of the Kingdom of Heaven took over the fate of him and the village in the disaster, giving them the opportunity to stand up again.

Although these two people, although they come from completely different backgrounds, have intersections in this courtyard due to the big name of the admissions director.

Yes, they are two of the nine students who hope to be close to.

At this moment, they were only a few meters apart, but it seemed to be separated by two worlds.

The three-day acquaintance did not allow them to have any substantial connection. Although there were several brief greetings, the two never really collided in thought.

The two have not yet established a deep friendship, and more often they have their own ideas and doubts in their hearts.

Especially in the past few days, although both of them have actively asked questions to the principal, they are more curious about the details.

Questions about the operating model in the courtyard do not involve too many profound collisions of thought.

Today, the atmosphere is different.

When Xia Xiu walked into the restaurant, his eyes did not rush to stay on any student, but swept across the entire restaurant and looked at every student with a smile.

This kind of gaze is not just about attention, but about a meaningful contemplation.

He seemed to be waiting for something?

Or are you thinking about something?

Joseph and Tukhachevsky almost subconsciously felt this.

At this time, Joseph, an Edishite, put down the knife and fork in his hand, frowned slightly, and a premonition arose in his heart:

"Today, there seems to be something different. The principal's eyes are not just patrolling as usual. Today he seems to be waiting for their questions."

Similarly, Tukhachevsky stopped eating, his eyes flashed, and he obviously noticed this.

This subtle change filled his heart with doubts and expectations.

They looked at each other and tacitly put down the tableware in their hands.

Both of them are very keen.

Just as all kinds of thoughts arose in the two of them, Xia Xiu noticed them.

The blonde young man in a white robe raised his wine glass, smiled slightly, and glanced at them.

As he moved, the atmosphere in the restaurant changed quietly, as if the entire space had frozen in this moment.

"Joseph, Tukhachevsky."

Xia Xiu's voice was neither anxious nor slow, but it clearly reached the ears of the two.

"If you have any questions, just ask them."

Joseph and Tukhachevsky's heartbeats were almost synchronized, and he felt the oppression and expectation from the principal, as if he was standing at a crossroads, unable to turn back or wait any longer.
