Although Metatron's words are only her personal opinions, there are no doubt that many people will have this idea, not only those who join in, including those who are getting stronger, especially the original Identity is a traversal of students, Xiao Chen more or less heard them complain about this.
At the beginning of the school's overall traversal, everyone needs to organize a group to survive. Almost no one thought much, and they all approved a committee based on the school teacher. But as the supernatural abilities of this world are gradually discovered, these young people find that their force can far exceed those of middle-aged people who control themselves. With the increase of ability, the restless mentality will naturally increase, and at the same time increase the ambition that is difficult to suppress.
One of the events that impressed Xiao Chen the most was the magic manipulation event six months ago. The cause and effect of this matter are simple. It is a young man in the business group with the strength of a mid-level mage who has been unable to be promoted because of his busy practice. Although he was not interested in the work itself, he saw that his friends and partners had taken various leadership positions during the same period, and even some newly recruited local residents had already climbed onto his head, and his mentality changed. Those who used to be equals in the past can manage a city ’s business if they are good, or they can be in charge of a branch of a trading company. However, he has made two serious mistakes in his work, and he still has one peace. I was doing logistic work for the caravan as before, and the daily thing is to direct a few men to count and move goods.
On one occasion, after being scolded by his classmate and boss who was supposed to be half a catty, he used his to control the magical realm inferiorly than his classmates. .
This incident caused a sensation in the city. The party was severely criticized by many people, and of course was also punished with imprisonment, fines, and public apology, but what is worrying is that there is an undercurrent in public opinion that is applauded for what this person does. At that time, there was even a small wave, and many young people began to joke with various small spells or tease bosses who had no magic ability. There have even been a lot of talks:
"Fighting blood and magic, it is better to say something than the leader."
"Who can sit up, it looks like there are many wrinkles. The young man is great, looking for you to carry the pot."
This once aroused the Committee's high vigilance. After a series of severe crackdowns on punishment of such acts, this trend was suppressed. This incident was the fuse for accelerating the construction of the Master Prison. But Xiao Chen knew very well that if these people didn't talk on their lips and didn't move their hands, it didn't mean they didn't want to.
If Metatron's words are spread, it is estimated that many people secretly applauded.
"What do you want me to say to me?" Xiao Chen asked.
May said: "You answer me first. Does my words make sense?"
Xiao Chen had to admit that she said it made sense.
"Since it makes sense, then you go to promote this matter, there is no better opportunity than now. Do not think that the world in which our people are located is behind your hometown, you must have less knowledge, the intrigues I have seen How many times more than you do n’t know. This kind of thing is like magic, practice makes perfect.
May said seriously,
You are already a big magician, what do you think is your responsibility? Fighting in front of you again and again to solve each All kinds of problems? You should start to think about how to lead these people and how to make changes. Do n’t you emphasize listening to the opinions of the people and safeguarding the interests of everyone? The voice of the strong is also a voice, not just to protect Weak ones, but let the strong ones chill. "

Mei saw Xiao Chen thinking for a long time, and did not express his attitude, annoyed: "What are you thinking?"
Xiao Chen raised his eyes and said: "Ah? I'm just trying to perform this role. You said so much, I have to think about what would happen if I wandered into the muddy waters? Is it easy to change power? , A calm and quiet thing, one accidentally wants to roll over. "
"Hurry up, the war with the empire is still going on, and your ruling organs have been attacked again. More than ever, you need a strong person to stand up. At this time, you need courage more than wisdom. The problem is always It will be solved, provided that someone who solves the problem appears.
Think about what you were doing the other day? They were imprisoned by the guys into the mage prison. Originally according to my plan, if you still don't come out tomorrow, I will rush in with the God of War armed. I really can't see the silly way you put yourself in that prison. "
Xiao Chen looked at Mei ’s indignant look, but felt a little warm. He argued: "I just want to respect the rules. If the rules are trampled on by the strong, then the last thing that restricts everyone is no longer the rules, but The will of the strong. "
"You are doing things according to the rules, but did you realize that the rules are not suitable to restrain the strong? Or that they can't restrain the real strong at all?"
Xiao Chen thought about it and said with discretion: "We have a sentence called" Although we can't reach it, we yearn for it. Any rule can only restrict part of our behavior. Someone will always override it. " Someone will drill its loophole from underneath.
However, if you really look at history, you will find that every era is more rule-oriented than the previous generation. Only when the strong begin to learn to abide by the rules can the life and dignity of the weak be guaranteed. Think about it, although all of us are strong in front of ordinary people, but a of nature oppresses us breathlessly. If we treat ordinary people in our territory as we are treated by the gods of nature, ordinary people are afraid of our arbitrary bullying, looting, and even obliteration every day. Such a place is terrible. I think the appropriate way is for the strong and the weak to exchange within a regular system. The strong and the weak have their own division of labor, and each pays for labor in exchange for the results of others, so that the world will get better and better. "
"Che, are you going to be a philosopher?" May sneered a little, but there was no disdain in his expression. Maybe something still touched Xiao Chen's words.
Xiao Chen said: "I'm just willing to be a strong leader to follow the rules."
"A paradox." May looked at the burnt bodies and remembered the various things Xiao Chen had done before, muttering: "Your obedience is limited to certain times, right?"
Xiao Chen shrugged helplessly: "The meal should be eaten bit by bit, let's start at the right time."
