: Story 040, the first year

He lifted his right hand, which was no longer holding Dimie, and stretched out an index finger, leaning in front of the little girl. As soon as the little girl touched her finger, she immediately hugged her, and at the same time she narrowed her eyes and giggled.
The chain rang softly, but the frost in the eyes of the idiot faded. Now, his journey is close to the end, and the separation is imminent, a slight warmth... It seems that it can be revealed...
Holding the little baby girl tightly, the idiot had already walked down the stairs and onto the street. He began to keep asking passers-by the same question. Some passers-by he asked were ignored because he was a beggar, and some were afraid to approach because of the child's cold eyes. But some people answered him and pointed out his goal.
"Excuse me, where is the Royal Academy of Divine Grace."
"You're going to the Royal Academy?! Hmm... is it a freshman? Here, where. On that hillside near the cliff to the east, it seems that there is almost a quarter the size of the city, which is the royal of the Bucks Empire. Dedicated Academy-Divine Grace."
The idiot raised his head and looked at the hillside. There, a white spire and the royal castle are reflected in the distance! Under the tower, the entire Royal Campus is filled with beautifully beautified buildings of various colors. Even if you are far away, you can see the identity and status of the people in this college!
"By the way, are you really a new student of this college?" The person who pointed out the way looked at the direction of the college and said with a little pride, "Every summer, the entire Bucks Empire wants to pass the exam. The number of people who enter this college is endless. But often only the best talents are recruited by the college. Once the admission is confirmed, the rich will need to pay a certain fee, although the regulations say that students can be exempted as long as they are really smart Tuition fees, but this kind of situation is really rare. You seem to be only about ten years old. Are you a freshman in the first year of the elementary department? If this is the case, you really are not...Huh? People?"
The person who gave the way was happy and proud. But when he turned his head, the little beggar behind him had long since disappeared.

An idiot stepped on the gravel road, along with the cries of the shops on both sides, towards the magnificent college in a heated atmosphere. newborn? College? excellent? These things have no meaning to him. Because it has nothing to do with him, the only ones who have something to do with him are the little girl in her arms and the college itself.
The closer to the college, the more and more banners on both sides of the street. In contrast, more and more children are older than idiots. Without exception, they were surrounded by their parents, carrying all kinds of salutes, or walking or riding in a carriage to the college.
The admissions system of the Royal Academy of Divine Grace is very strict, but its teaching scope is also very extensive. Mainly speaking, there are roughly four major teaching systems operating in it.
One, Department of Literature and Art.
The main professors of this department belong to the Department of Literature, and the students among them will be top figures in various industries after they finish their studies. Not a famous artist, painter. It is the creator and director of the opera. The cultivation of the nobility and political methods are the primary goals of students studying here. Generally speaking, the political team of senior public servants supporting the entire Bucks Empire are all selected from them. It can be said that this is a place dedicated to training national leaders.
2. Department of Science and Technology.
Unlike the literature and art department, the students in this department specialize in science and are full of all kinds of science fanatics. Walking here, you can see people lying on the ground writing formulas and muttering with stones almost everywhere. . Compared with other systems, this is perhaps the most dull system. There is no dance party, no entertainment. Although various entertainment facilities are available as other systems, the students here seem to be born with research as the best entertainment.
However, don't look down on the students here. The entire academy, and even the best weapon master training classroom in the entire empire is here. In general, the Bucks Empire is still a military empire, and the environment around the Empire cannot be said to be very safe. In terms of warfare, a good weapon can often play the most decisive role.
Third, the vertical stone system.
This department belongs to the combat department. Zongshishi is widely praised in the world, and at first glance it seems to be the most powerful force system. They used those incredible powers by studying some of the guide stones containing natural elements in natural ores. Their arm strength may be very weak, and they may be quickly brought down by the enemy during a fight. And there are many uncertain factors such as the guiding stone will be used up and the power in it will suddenly lose control. In addition, the guiding stone was once known as the ore of the devil, and anyone who uses its power is a rumor that a witch or wizard serves the devil. But there is one thing, even those who oppose it will never question—
To what extent is the strength of Zongshishi?
If it is said that a warrior of the heart-refining level is fighting against a stone vertical division of the searing skill level, people bet... the result may often be unexpected.
Fourth, the fighting system.
As the Bucks Empire in various senses, this department, the most important source of talent for supporting the war, is undoubtedly the top priority of the Academy. The Department of Literature and Art trains civilians in art, education, and government affairs. The Department of Science and Technology trains great inventors and scientists. Although the combat effectiveness of the Zongshi department feels terrifying, there are very few candidates who can truly graduate from this department. There was even a record of the birth of no qualified stoneman for ten consecutive years. In contrast, the talents of the Martial Arts Department are rushing to emerge in large numbers, and many people have a dazzling feeling. The army of the Bucks Empire has always provided a steady stream of fresh blood.
This is just the basic classification of the academy. If you really want to continue to subdivide, there will be as many stars in the sky. In each department, there are various college departments arranged by age, from six to ten years old children's department, eleven to fourteen years old elementary department, 15 to eighteen years old advanced department, and ten University department over eight years old. The entire college presents a very coordinated and integrated direct education.
Of course, this is when you have the ability to complete all subjects in a department without being dropped out.
Every year at the beginning of June, those who have taken the entrance examinations in various places in the Bucks Empire will wait for the admission notice in July and August. But divine grace is different. Because the learning environment here is very different from other ordinary colleges, the candidates are selected almost within ten days after the exam is over, and notices are issued so that they can come to the college early and get used to the surroundings. environment of. You know, this school is too big. At the beginning of the new semester, the teachers don’t have time to let you get used to here and get rid of your pampered habits, waiting for you to walk from the lost crossroads to the classroom.
The gate of the college is open. Through the gate, you can see a very large square garden inside. There are many paths in the garden, spreading towards the surrounding buildings. People appear to be quite free here. But this should be the case. If the identity verification of more than a thousand children of all ages and their parents here is really a huge project.
"Go away! Go away!"
The idiot retreated to the side of the road, letting a carriage roar past. There is a nobleman's family crest on the door of the carriage. From the opened curtains, you can see a fat woman combing the hair of her fifteen-year-old child. Like many others, entered the open school gate.
"Woo~~ah~~~"
The little baby girl was still smiling, and she stretched out her two small hands to constantly grasp something. The idiot looked at the towering white tower, and after taking a deep breath, stepped into this sacred college.

A little beggar walked quietly in the crowd. Because there are too many people, no one pays attention to this character who is not in line with the surrounding environment. The little beggar lowered his head, slipped into a slightly less crowded aisle, and walked slowly in the shadows. Gradually, the sound coming from the school gate disappeared behind him, and all the new students and their parents who probed around were gone.
Because he has bypassed the square and came to the faculty accommodation area behind.
It's quiet here.
There seemed to be no sound in silence.
The idiot's footsteps slowly stopped next to a small fountain, watching the female sculpture in it pouring the bottle, letting the water flow down.
It's already June. Five months have passed since I picked up the child for the first time. At this moment, her body has grown a lot, and instead of sleeping all day long like she did at the beginning, she will open her eyes to look at the outside world.
Standing in front of the fountain stupidly, the splashing mist lightly wet his hair. Amidst the sound of clattering, his thoughts moved to the past unknowingly...
Looking back on the past, it is by no means a good thing. In the struggle called survival, there is no time for this little beggar to recollect the past life. And he has no life to miss, anyway, everything in the past can be experienced in the next day. Memories have long become synonymous with ignorance.
But now, he recalled. He recalled what happened when he picked up this little baby girl for the first time on that snowy night. That day, the wind was very cold, and the cold was almost removing his flesh and scraping his bones. For the first time, he gave the food in his mouth to a baby who was useless to him. For the first time, he took her to escape from being pursued by others, and spent a sleepless night in a blizzard in a dirty and rotten trash can.
He remembered the scene of changing her diapers, of boiling hot water, feeding her to drink, and taking her to the pharmacy to see a doctor for her. I also remembered the situation where he was holding this baby, avoiding the sight of the soldiers, embarking on the journey, and after all the hardships, he stood here.
Looking at the flowers, the memories of the past slowly flowed through the idiot's mind. As these memories passed, he slowly bent down and placed the baby girl in his arms by the fountain.
Here is the stag empire, the wind-blown sand city, and the Royal Academy of Divine Grace. He has completed the request of the little baby's father and brought her here safely. Next, it is time for people outside of his story to quit the life stage of the little baby girl and disappear into the dark shadow...
