"Catherine Eugali, please come to the front of the podium."
Heyman, a young Bachelor of Arts, read Catherine's name. Catherine took a deep breath and walked to the podium.
"Please read Chapter 5, Article 6, and Paragraph 2 of Suixue's Law."
This is the third classroom on the first floor of the teaching building of Suixue School. An exam is being held in this classroom, the graduation exam for the junior class of adults.
This building was completed half a month ago. It is the first flat-panel building in Suixue City and is probably the first in the world. The building has three floors. The first floor is an elementary education class for adults aged 15 and above.
, the second level is the primary education class for young people under the age of 15, and the third level is the secondary education class, with
After acquiring basic reading and writing skills, those who want to continue learning knowledge can continue their studies in secondary education classes after passing the selection examination. After graduating from secondary education, if they want to continue their studies, they must go to Bachelo's manor.
, Grand Bachelor Bachelo designates specialized bachelors to teach advanced education.
Before the building was completed, all students could only take classes in the square in front of the castle and in the abandoned farmhouse. Catherine was one of the first students in Broken Snow City. She didn't like the new teaching building very much. She didn't like the smell of cement.
In fact, she doesn't like the old school building either. She doesn't like the whole school at all.
The work in the gunpowder processing factory is very hard. After a day's work, who is willing to carry a candle and study these boring courses?
Especially this Bachelor of Arts Heyman, who is he? He turned out to be just a scribe beside the Grand Bachelor.
He has neither a distinguished background nor the ability to make money. He once pursued Catherine. In the list of suitors, Heyman was not even among the top thirty, and Catherine did not even bother to look at him.
But now the situation has changed. He has become a Bachelor of Arts and some kind of examiner. He still dares to dominate in front of her. This is really intolerable to Catherine!
But you can't tolerate it, but you have to endure it. According to the lord's regulations, people who cannot pass primary education cannot continue to work in the factory.
The salary in the factory has been raised to twenty silver coins per month. Many people are trying to get a job in the factory. Catherine does not want to lose her job. Her written test score is only forty points. If the oral test score is not up to the
If she gets 80%, she will retake all the courses she took in the past month and will be fired from the factory.
"The property of all the people of Broken Snow City is, very, very brave, including all the Ralphs and all the garlands..."
Listening to Catherine's nonsensical recitation, some students had already secretly laughed.
Damn Heyman, why did he let himself recite the Snow Law? Why didn't he choose something he was better at, such as...
Forget it, there wasn't a paragraph in those texts that she was good at.
There were only 400 words in the law. Catherine read it for six minutes, and she mispronounced more than half of the words.
Heyman shook his head and finally gave her fifty points.
It's over, it's all over!
Damn Heyman, he's using his power to get revenge on himself.
Catherine did receive some gifts from Hyman, but she accepted every boy's gift. Although she had promised to go on a date with Hyman, she failed, but what did it matter? There were so many men she let go.
Too many to count.
You can't let him bully you like this, you have to give him a little warning.
"Heyman, you know some things. Natalie is my friend, and you also know the relationship between Natalie and the lord!"
Looking at the ferocious Catherine, Heyman shook his head helplessly and said: "I performed my duties completely in accordance with the requirements of the Grand Bachelor. No matter who I am, I must pass the exam in a fair way, even Natalie Rudd herself.
An examination passed under fair rules.”
"What's fair, do you think I don't know? She is the Lord's lover, you don't dare to embarrass her!"
"Catherine, I am reminding you as a friend," Heyman stood up and said, "Please leave the examination room immediately. I will pretend that I have not heard what you just said."
Catherine left the teacher angrily, cursing Heyman all the way, but when she returned home, there was still a violent attack waiting for her.
Natalie had not only passed primary education, but also passed the secondary education selection examination, and she wanted to celebrate with a party.
She sent invitations to Catherine, as well as Lady Josephine, the director of the hospital, Imma, and Maester Calaf. She even sent an invitation to the lord, although she knew that the lord would not be able to come to a banquet of a commoner.
Going to her party? Catherine should think carefully.
Watching others celebrate will definitely make you feel uncomfortable.
But Natalie is now a popular figure around the lord. If he doesn't go, will he alienate his relationship with her?
Moreover, Calaf is likely to attend her banquet. Catherine has long wanted to take action against Calaf, so this is a rare opportunity.
If you become Calaf's lover, you won't have to worry about elementary education anymore, and the job in the processing factory will no longer be important. As a bachelor of engineering, Calaf has an income of twenty gold coins per year, so he can be a rich man by his side.
Women, why do you need to go to the factory to sweat again?
Thinking of this, the gloom in her heart was swept away. Catherine dressed up carefully, chose a silk scarf as a gift, and went to Natalie's banquet with great interest.
Calaf did attend the banquet, and Catherine sat quietly next to Calaf. She should not be anxious at this time, she had to use an inadvertent way to make Calaf notice her, and then launch the offensive quietly.
"Catherine, you are so beautiful today," Calaf smelled the scent of makeup on Catherine's body, "plain work clothes really don't suit you."
Catherine bit her lip and said, "Don't you think it's suitable for you too? In fact, I don't want to deal with anti-faith fans in a place like that all day long."
"Have you not considered changing your job?"
"I'm planning on this. Bachelor Calaf, do you have any good suggestions? Or do you need a helper like me?"
He took the bait, and Catherine came closer. She wanted Calaf to feel his hot breath.
Kalaf's face turned a little red, and when the situation became a little delicate, everyone suddenly became quiet.
Two more people joined the party, Reggie and Batchelor arrived.
Catherine looked at Natalie in surprise and said nothing for a long time.
It’s really yours! You really invited the lord here!
Even if your relationship is confirmed, the lord should not come to attend a commoner's wedding.
Looking at Calaf in front of her, Catherine's eyes were full of contempt.
My vision is too short-sighted, my thoughts are too simple, and my goals are too small!
What does it mean to have a bachelor's degree in engineering? Isn't Bachelor Barcello also single?
Even if he is a little older, what does it matter! Think about his family's manor, in front of the God of Love, age is not a boundary at all!
Reggie took a can of wine and gave it to Natalie: "The gift is a bit ordinary. Congratulations, good girl."
The moment she took the wine, Natalie lost control of her emotions. She opened the wine can and took a big sip. Imma frowned beside her and said: "Be gentle, you look so ugly!"
"
Natalie put down the wine bottle, wiped her mouth, suddenly hugged Reggie's neck, and kissed him hard on the cheek.
Everyone was dumbfounded. Catherine, who was originally going to say hello to Bachelo, immediately changed her mind.
Too timid, too timid, look what Natalie did!
She stepped forward and hugged Batchelor and said, "Grand Bachelor, I really admire you!" Then she kissed him fiercely.
The unrestrained girl made Barcello almost stop breathing. Imma was chasing Natalie with a meat-cutting knife. The small house kept cheering, and the atmosphere of the banquet reached its peak.
But at this moment, Erwin appeared next to Reggie.
"Sir, there is a mountain monster attacking Broken Snow City. It is a mountain monster from the Lost Mountain."
