Chapter 459: Crossroads (Ⅰ)

Joan walked along the road with good luck. He first accidentally obtained "tears of the gods". With the help of this artifact, he became a so-called "genius" from mediocrity.
After entering the academy, he met non-wealthy friends such as Thomas, Edward and Rebecca, and was also favored by the Rolls mentor. He just grabbed him from the "old owl" Walter Lee and earned it under his own door. He unreservedly taught him what he learned in his life, and broke his heart for his future...
From Joan's point of view, Martin Smith is actually a self who did not get the above adventure.
Martin did not have "tears of God" and "Wisdom of Wisdom" to enhance his intelligence, he could not become a respected spell-casting genius, he could not be appreciated by famous professors like Rolls Instructor, and finally became a student of "old owl", was Walter · Li Diao is difficult and even tortured, and diligently pleads for eight years of study.
He has clearly reached the graduation level, but was still left by Walter Li Qiang in his laboratory as a cheap labor. Not only did he owe a school loan, but he also endured the humiliation of his roommates and even the younger students. In hell, suffering from both mental and physical suffering.
Joan often imagines this: If he is not lucky enough, will he also become another poor, mediocre, and annoying Martin Smith?
Judging from his poor background and mediocre talent, this is very likely.
For this reason, Joan had deep sympathy for Martin, and also wondered why Martin had fallen into such a predicament.
Young men born like me and Martin who are mediocre and capable of mediocrity, are they destined to be a stepping stone to other students of better and better background if they do not have good luck blessings, and they are destined to be suppressed by discrimination, no matter how hard they try There is no day to come?
He vaguely felt that reality was indeed so cruel.
Students of good background have more money, connections and resources to lay the foundation for them. Even if it is a pig, such a good condition will be cultivated into an outstanding pig.
In contrast, poor people like Martin and himself do not have any resources to use, and they even have to bear heavy debts for schooling. Unless they are particularly gifted or lucky, how can they compete with rich children?
Isn't it normal to be stepped on by someone?
Joan felt something was wrong.
There is a one-way invisible barrier in the school and the entire society, which separates the poor students from the rich children. The latter is born at the top of the barrier, but the former is pressed underneath. It needs extra effort to get a special good Yuncai may break through this layer of barriers and enter the same class as those of rich children.
Poor students like Joan who have had the luck to break through this invisible barrier are as scarce as pearls on the beach, and most of the poor students have struggled to survive under the heavy barriers for a lifetime-Martin Smith is the epitome of these humble masses.
Qiao An is still too young and has limited vision. Although he felt the existence of class barriers, he did not know where they came from, why they existed, and how to eliminate them.
He turned his attention to the campus he was familiar with more and more, and felt that Leiden College was not as beautiful as he originally thought.
Setting up high tuition is tantamount to suppressing poor students in disguise, and tacitly apprehending Walter Lee to tamper with students is tantamount to indulging such evil behaviors. The school knows that these systems are unreasonable but still refuses to make changes. What does this mean?
Joan suddenly remembered what Martin Smith had said to him inadvertently when he came to Leiden College to take the exam:
"Leiden College is not a haven for poor students, it has never been."
Joan believes that this is Martin's sentiment.
After Leiden College has spent a full eight years of youth, Martin may have recognized the reality and all the stereotypes and habits used by Leiden College, even protecting these unfair traditions intentionally or unintentionally, just because these traditions can give vested interests. People bring many benefits. Of course, those who get benefits do not want to make changes, while those who are insulted and damaged have no say at all.
If you think about it, if Joan is in Martin’s position, I am afraid that he will not be able to drop out of school eight years earlier and find another way out-anyway, I learned a spell, where can I still eat a bite?
Joanne doesn't understand, why is Martin obsessed with getting a graduation certificate?
Is it to fulfill the wish of oneself or relatives and friends, to care for the whole face, to join the Leiden Harbor Master Association in order to find a glorious career in this city, or because it has already spent eight years, and can not give up this huge sunk cost, You must use a graduation certificate to comfort yourself for eight years without pain?
Perhaps all of the above factors have one point, which together constituted Martin's heart knot, and eventually pushed him to the embarrassing situation of riding a tiger.
Joan also heard that Martin Smith made a request to Walter Lee at the beginning of the semester, hoping that the other party would sign his graduation certificate at the end of the school year and give him the freedom to wait for eight years.
However, the "old owl" ruthlessly rejected Martin's begging, and also told him hypocritically: "I am afraid this year will not work. I will let you graduate next year."
Such a promise, Martin must have heard countless times.
Year after year, Walter Lee's promise has never been fulfilled.
It’s not difficult for Joan to imagine that even a person with the best temper will hear Walter Lee’s reply and he can’t help but get angry and even get a chance.
Now he is still not sure that Martin is the murderer of Walter Lee. Taking a step back, even if Martin is the murderer, Joan feels excused.
In fact, Joanne now has no spare time to care about Martin's whereabouts, and he himself is at a crossroads in his life.
The death of Professor Robert Rolls is undoubtedly a tragedy for his family, friends and students. However, his colleagues at Leiden College saw this as a great opportunity to openly or privately address his three talented students Throw an olive branch.
Joan, Edward and Thomas have received invitations from many Austrian professors these days and offered to accept them as disciples to help them complete their studies for the next two years.
Edward and Thomas are not weak-hearted people, but they have to face the reality that the Rolls mentor is no longer alive. For their academic considerations, it is a reasonable decision to transfer to other professors. The problem is only which professor to choose. Your new mentor.
The two disagree on this.
Edward thinks that Wordsworth is the second best professor at Leiden College after Master Rolls. Thomas is worried that Master Wordsworth is too harsh and he is more inclined to invest in Professor Hamilton's personality similar to Master Rawls. .
