There are indeed surprises, but there are also quite a few surprises.
After Thain received Kester's full support, and as the start of the second half of the school year was approaching, Thain delivered a speech at the opening ceremony of the Holy Tower of Dark Fire Academy.
And then he launched the new rules of the academy that he had been thinking about for a while.
When Thain first formulated this new college rule, he did not discuss it too much with Kester and other deans.
The main reason is that many of the provisions are too unexpected and sensational.
Dean Kester and other deans are all magicians from the wizarding world trained by the normal Holy Tower. In some ways, they really can't keep up with Thain's pace.
For example, in the new rules of the academy, Thain emphasized the "Apprentice Elimination Mechanism", or in other words, the "Last Place Elimination Mechanism" is more accurate.
The style of the Black Magic Academy in Mensobra City back then was to directly throw unqualified and inferior apprentices onto the experimental bench, and use their bodies to exert their final value to the academy.
Of course, the style of Dark Fire Holy Tower Academy cannot be so barbaric. Even if Thain is the dean, he cannot disregard human life.
Since death and life crises cannot be used to bring a sense of urgency to these apprentices, Thane has to find other ways.
The last elimination mechanism came into being from this.
In the new year's planning rules for the college proposed by Thain, as long as all students of Dark Fire Holy Tower College have been enrolled for more than 10 years, starting from the 11th year, those who are ranked in the bottom 100 in terms of comprehensive scores at the end of the year will
All will be kicked out of the academy directly.
Those whose scores are between the bottom 100 and 300 will face varying degrees of punishment or deductions from college benefits.
Although some apprentices from the major Holy Tower academies in the wizarding world are expelled every year for various reasons, there is really no Holy Tower where apprentices are kicked out because of insufficient performance.
The last elimination mechanism proposed by Thain does not stop there. For those apprentices who are in the bottom 100, after they are kicked out of the Holy Tower, the contracts they signed with the Holy Tower at the beginning of their enrollment will still be in effect.
In other words, these unlucky apprentices with the lowest grades will not only have no way to continue studying and obtain resources in the Holy Tower, they will also face heavy college debts that will crush their spines throughout their lives.
As soon as this new academy rule was introduced, which suppressed the potential of apprentices, it caused an uproar in the Holy Tower of Dark Fire.
Even the official magicians were stunned when they learned about it.
However, Thain's promotion of this rule did not affect the rights of these official magicians, so everyone was just shocked and did not show any obvious support or opposition.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with Thain's approach.
What is the chance that an apprentice who ranks at the bottom of the overall performance rankings will be promoted to the first level?
The elimination plan established by Thain can also be regarded as saving money for the college.
One hundred apprentices a year will equal a thousand apprentices in ten years.
If the average enrollment per ten years is 10,000, then Thain is equivalent to saving one-tenth of the college's expenses.
In fact, the number of students enrolled in the Holy Tower of Dark Fire is far less than that.
In addition to this most fundamental elimination mechanism, Thain has also made drastic reforms in many other areas.
For example, shortening some classes and adding more practical tasks instead.
All apprentices, starting from the time they are promoted to low-level magic apprentices, must perform mandatory field combat missions every year.
Either go to the Warcraft Forest to collect materials, or kill the thieves and robbers who are causing trouble.
All the apprentices don't know, and only Thain, Kester and a few other senior leaders of the Dark Fire Holy Tower, including the deputy dean and above, know another hidden content - when the apprentices perform these mandatory combat tasks, the casualty indicator will be
The original 3% was increased to 10%.
Originally, Thain planned to directly increase it to above 20%, but he encountered strong opposition from Dean Kester.
Casualties are not the same as death. Thain doesn't think there is anything wrong with letting these apprentices suffer some injuries and suffer some losses.
But Dean Kester still tends to seek stability and is not as radical as Thain.
This also reflects the fact that each of the major Holy Tower academies actually has detailed control over all aspects of their apprentices' indicators.
For example, how to achieve the casualty target?
Next, Thain had to go to the World of Warcraft Forest around Dark Fire Holy Tower Academy to reach a consensus with the Warcraft Lords.
This is a secret that only magicians above the dean level of the wizarding world can know.
Ordinary first- and second-level magicians have probably never heard of this.
Thain only found out about it after he became the dean.
It turns out that there is such a "cooperative relationship" between the Holy Tower and the Forest of Warcraft in the area.
In addition to the above, Thain's reforms also include reducing the basic benefits of apprentices and instead adding a large number of rewarding academy tasks.
These academy tasks not only include combat tasks such as going to the Forest of Warcraft or exterminating bandits, but also include daily life tasks.
Helping college instructors and formal magicians complete experiments is the most common college task.
In addition, among the new rules announced by Thain, there are even strange tasks of cleaning the college grounds and teaching classrooms.
These cleaning tasks were originally completed by several alchemy puppets in the academy, including the magic circle in the academy hall that also had related cleaning functions.
But Thain stopped the alchemy puppets and turned off the cleaning function of the magic circle in the academy hall.
One of Thain's reasons for doing this is to save the college energy.
Although many holy tower magicians don't know what they can gain by letting these apprentices go clean.
However, the vast majority of magicians support the various reforms of Holy Tower Academy.
Because many of them are beneficiaries, especially the academy's tasks, allowing these magic apprentices to become free labor in their own laboratories.
Of course, being able to get so much support is also related to the reputation that Thain created during the battle in the Petrified Forest.
Dean Kester is one of the people who understands Thain's approach better, because Thain communicates with him the most.
In Kester's words, Thain mobilized the initiative and ambition of these magic apprentices to the extreme.
The change in college rules not only doubles the downward pressure.
On a higher level, Thain also proposed to provide rewards ranging from magic coins or props to materials to the top 100 outstanding apprentices in the academy every year.
In fact, other Holy Tower academies also have corresponding reward rules, but none are as extreme as the Dark Fire Holy Tower.
Especially the last elimination mechanism, it simply puts a layer of clockwork on all the apprentices, forcing them to keep moving forward.
Vice Dean Bob has become closer to Thain in recent years and is considered a member of his faction.
Faced with such drastic reforms in the Holy Tower of Dark Fire, Bob couldn't help but sigh, no wonder Dean Thain was favored by the tower master.
On some levels, Thane is indeed very similar to Darkfire.
Exactly ten years have passed since this year when Thain became the dean.
Therefore, the batch of apprentices he personally recruited were very lucky to be the first batch to experience the new rules of the academy.
At the opening ceremony, when Thain was speaking, he didn't notice a little guy looking at him with respect and longing.
This little guy is Fern. Ten years later, he has actually grown into an intermediate magic apprentice.
This achievement is outstanding in the entire Dark Fire Holy Tower.
The little guy looks forward to reaching the heights of Thain one day in the future. The only thing that makes him regret is that during the ten years of studying at the Holy Tower, the little guy has not found any public classes taught by the dean himself.
