Vol 2 Chapter 23: The Parable of the Garden

　　 If First University is really a living creature, then it must have symptoms of schizophrenia.
　　 Zheng Qing has no doubt about this.
　　 From the interview with the interviewer of the first university, to what Sijifang saw and heard, and now he really set foot in this university, Zheng Qing saw too many contradictions and differences.
　　 For example, a university has four ways to admit students!
　　 As one of the nine people who passed the exam and entered the university, Zheng Qing could not understand the other admission methods at all. Perhaps talent selection, belief appraisal, or combat effectiveness evaluation has some rationality, but in Zheng Qing's view, these methods of recruiting new students lack the most basic fairness.
　　The most direct consequence of these unfairness is the difference in campus culture.
　　The differences are so significant that the exchanges between students from different colleges seem to be strangers.
　　 If it were not for schizophrenia, how could the first university allow different thoughts to flow in one's body at the same time?
　　 However, Zheng Qing is more worried about his studies than he is worried about the fairness of school education.
　　 There is no foundation of secondary education, and it faces the test of higher education.
　　 This shock is disturbing.
　　 Whether it was the exam repeatedly emphasized by the interviewer or the repeater he accidentally mentioned, it left a heavy shadow on the panicked freshmen.
　　What should I do if the exam is not good? Will he be repatriated?
　　 What should I do if I fail the upgrade exam? Will you repeat the grade!
　　 Is it shameful to repeat a grade!
　　 Will it be pointed by others!
　　 Even the in-class exams a few days ago did not alleviate his worries, but aggravated his anxiety.
　　Because the husband always warned him that the higher he floats, the harder he falls, and people are more aware of themselves.
　　 Now, several classmates told him that Alpha Academy not only does not need exams, but there is no risk of repeating a grade!
　　 Compared with the strict Jiuyou, this kind of excellent learning environment is fascinating.
　　 "Different remuneration for the same school." Zheng Qing muttered, looking at Linguo enviously: "When will the exam policy be cancelled?"
　　 "Without exams, there would be no Jiuyou Academy." Xiao Xiao pointedly commented: "In addition, the rules of Alpha Academy are not as easy as you think."
"I know this." Zhang Jixin waved his fist next to him and added: "My brother told me that the annual graduation rate of Alpha Academy is less than 60%! There are still a lot of senior students in the college. Difficult to complete my graduation thesis. Relatively speaking, the graduation rate of Jiuyou College is over 90%!"
　　 "That's true." Lin Guo looked at Zheng Qing sincerely and wiped her nose: "Every college must maintain the honor of the first university. Alpha College is a typical lenient entry and strict exit."
　　 "No matter what, your learning environment is very free." Zheng Qing sighed.
　　 Xiao Xiao let out a short, harsh laugh.
　　 Zheng Qing stared angrily.
"No one tells you what class you should take, no one tells you whether the choice is wrong." Xiao Xiao said sarcastically: "yes, there/was/always/a/choice. yes, you/always/have/a/choice. The right to choose is discarded to the individual, which is called "freedom." As everyone knows, this is the greatest irresponsibility to the individual. Not everyone has access to effective information and has the ability to make the right choice for themselves."
　　 "This sentence is a bit convoluted." Zhang Jixin looked a little confused.
"For an analogy. The same two boys. One boy’s parents are both registered wizards, and the other boy’s parents are Bai Ding. The registered wizard parents can make a complete promotion plan for a boy when he is very young. Know nothing."
　　 Xiao Xiao holds the notebook and continues to improve this example:
"When two boys enter Alpha Academy together, the boys whose parents are registered wizards can choose the courses necessary for their majors with a clear purpose; while the boys whose parents are Bai Ding will have a hammer and a stick, and seem to have learned many courses. But these courses are not helpful for the promotion of registered wizards."
"Can we deny that both boys always have the right to choose?" Xiao Xiao waved his notebook and said mockingly: "It's just that one with his eyes open looking at the mark to choose the right path; the other with his eyes closed and the cat touching to death. Rat."
　　 "It seems that Alpha's education method is indeed unfair." Zheng Qing squeezed his chin and nodded thoughtfully.
"This is the consistent idea of ​​Jiuyou Academy, but justice is to let everyone get what they want." Linguo stubbornly defended the honor of his academy: "Boys whose parents are registered wizards can certainly become registered wizards; but their parents are Bai Ding's. Boys will eventually find their true talents. I remember a professor who had a very appropriate metaphor for this view of the two colleges."
　　 "The garden's metaphor?" Xiao Xiao raised his eyelids and glanced at the little boy.
"Yes. There are all kinds of luxuriant plants in the garden. The owner of the garden can choose to constantly trim the crooked branches and cut out the rotten branches and leaves to make the whole garden tidy and beautiful. The owner can also choose to let the grass and trees grow freely and wantonly. Show the wonderful harmony of nature."
　　Linguo flushed her face, excitefully defending:
"The white poplar wants to grow up high? It's okay, try to grow up! The creeper wants to find a support? It doesn't matter, walls, tree trunks, sculptures, all can rely on him! Rose can spit out buds of various sizes, and holly can stretch arbitrarily I am an ambition. Every plant can adapt to its own talents in the garden~EbookFREE.me~ For plants, isn’t this the greatest fairness?"
　　 The blue patted Linguo's head lightly, motioning him to calm down.
　　 Xiao Xiao moved his lips and did not continue to refute.
　　 "Sounds like no distinction." Zheng Qing touched her nose and muttered.
"So Jiuyou College and Alpha College still co-exist in the first university." Zhang Jixin wrapped his arm and concluded: "But no matter where in the garden, the owner wants to see a beautiful garden-this conclusion can only Determined by time."
　　 Several freshmen who came to accept the punishment fell into a long silence.
　　 A cold wind blew by.
　　 Zheng Qing tightened the sleeves of his robe and raised his head.
　　 The sky is already pale.
　　In the distance, the sun has completely disappeared from sight. The dim huge gray spots are like ugly patches, smeared on the sky, revealing a trace of dampness and slack.
　　 The black school work committee building still stood silently in front of a few people, without any change.
　　 Zheng Qing took out the pale red notice again.
　　 "Maybe there is a route map or spell hidden on the list?" He held the notice with his law book, trying to find some clues.
　　 Zhang Jixin was also very interested in taking out the Fa book and tapping on his notice with the spine of the book.
　　 "Will you be late? Will the punishment be aggravated if you are late?" Ling Guo changed back to the timid boy.
　　 "Someone." The blue bird's cold voice sounded in everyone's ears.
　　 Following his gaze, Zheng Qing saw a thin old man sitting under a weeping willow not far away.
　　 "Go and ask!" Zhang Jixin put away the law book and the notice, and hurriedly ran under the tree.
　　 The others glanced at each other, followed him, and walked towards the old man.
