Chapter 272: 271 Outrageous

Parent-teacher meeting...

Hearing this familiar yet strange term from Anna's mouth, Li Ang couldn't help but feel a bit dazed.

During this time, he had participated in a bunch of strange events, not only fighting wits and courage with enemies with all kinds of abilities, but even landing on an asteroid more than 70,000 kilometers from the ground, and having a solo face-to-face with the Shangye Force in front of dozens of branch directors whose status was equal to true gods.

Not to be too humble, although his strength wasn't very strong yet, he couldn't be considered a completely ordinary person. Adding the identity of that empty Duke, he now had the ability to influence the world... influence a very small part of the world.

And he, an important figure who had just thwarted the Shangye Force's conspiracy a few days ago and indirectly protected the world, was now going to his younger brother and sister's school to participate in a parent-teacher meeting organized by the community school, and by the way, as the parent who makes the decisions, discuss the advancement problems of those two little devils at home...

It was just very wonderful.

"What's wrong?"

After waiting for a while without seeing Li Ang answer, and seeing his expression look a bit dazed, Anna couldn't help but look at him with concern, then leaned over and asked softly:

"Is your head still hurting? If you're still not feeling well, then you should just rest at home for a day. I can go to the parent-teacher meeting by myself."

"Um... no, I've sobered up."

Noticing the concern in his sister's eyes, Li Ang, who had come back to his senses, couldn't help but feel warmth in his heart, then shook his head with a smile:

"I just thought of some interesting things, so I was a bit distracted. And my work is too busy; it's rare to have time to accompany you... The carriage is here, let's get on first!"

After the public carriage pulled over and stopped steadily on the side of the road, Li Ang reached out to protect Anna's head, watched her bend over and climb into the carriage, and then he followed her in, accompanying her to sit in the window seat.

"Oh right."

Seeming to remember something, Li Ang asked curiously:

"I remember the elementary school department of Jian Qiao Academy has to attend for a total of? Wei Lian and the others enrolled more than half a year late, and it's still two months until the second grade. Is it a bit too early to discuss future advancement now?"

"It's not early."

Anna shook her head upon hearing this, both happy and a bit worried:

"Unlike the academy I attended, Jian Qiao Academy is one of the top academies. Arrangements for students' future paths must be made very early."

Generally speaking, the first year of enrollment teaches some basic knowledge, and by the way, looks at which aspect has potential. The second and third years will try to cultivate in the corresponding direction and conduct direction trial and error.

If it is found that the talent in the determined direction is limited, then change to other directions. After the advancement goal is basically determined, the three years of the fourth, fifth, and sixth grades will be specifically strengthened.

During these three years, in addition to targeted subjects, one must communicate more with corresponding high schools, participate in corresponding school activities, build good relationships with teachers, and strive to get admission qualifications without examination, or recommendation letters from teachers of corresponding schools, etc..."

Good guy, is it this competitive?

Not knowing much about this aspect, after hearing Anna's words, Li Ang couldn't help but click his tongue:

"Wei Lian and the others aren't even seven years old yet. Is it a bit too early to think about these things now?"

"It's really not early anymore."

Anna couldn't help but glare at Li Ang upon hearing this, then explained:

"They enrolled at six-plus years old and will graduate when they are almost thirteen. By then, they should choose their future middle school. More than 90% of students can only go to ordinary middle schools, learn a technology that can make a living, and just happen to graduate when they are sixteen and adults, then go out to work directly. Even jobs like newspaper typesetters and factory furnace material masters are considered rare good jobs."

"Only less than 10% of students can enter those particularly good middle schools, work hard for three years, and then try to see if they can get recommendation letters and examination qualifications to continue their studies in those famous universities. How can they not be in a hurry to start early?"

"..."

Oh right, according to the kingdom's laws, sixteen is already considered an adult, and universities are far from being that popular. Only a very small number of students with outstanding family backgrounds and talents have the qualifications to consider them. Most people will work directly after graduating from middle school.

So although they still feel like "children," the significance of the three years after community academy is almost equivalent to the "three years of high school" in his cognition. It is normal to be competitive so fiercely and early.

Thinking of this, Li Ang pondered combined with Anna's words just now and roughly understood the basic logic of the school doing this set of things.

Considering the kingdom's advancement method, it is not a relatively fair unified examination, but each school recruits on its own and organizes interviews and written examinations on its own. There are more ways to "run" in this.

After all, even if there is no threshold for participating in the examination and interview, as long as the graduation certificate of the community academy and the report card of all basic subjects meeting the standards are provided, theoretically, as long as they pass the double examination, they can enroll.

But there are opponents like Jian Qiao Academy that started "path investigation" in the second grade, did several years of strengthened learning for the target school afterward, occasionally participated in activities at the corresponding middle school, became familiar with the teachers responsible for interviews, and even said that the scope of the examination questions might be figured out. Children from ordinary families and schools, without explosive talent, are definitely unable to squeeze in.

So it looks like equal opportunity, and the routes and endpoints everyone has to run are the same, but in fact, when you are still practicing running hard, others are already installing cybernetic prosthetics on their legs, and even starting to build teleportation portals to the finish line.

Really outrageous...

Shaking his head slightly, Li Ang looked at Anna, who was a bit nervous beside him, patted her hand, and comforted her softly:

"Don't worry, Wei Lian and Mei Lan Ni are just naughty, but they are not stupid. They are both very smart. As long as they learn step by step, they can basically have a good future. What's more, my salary is not low, and... um..."

"In short, even if they can't go to the best school in the future, it won't be too difficult to help them find a good job. If it really doesn't work, it's no problem to raise them for a few more years."

"That's what I'm most worried about!"

Hearing Li Ang's words, Anna couldn't help but say angrily:

"A few days ago, the academy teacher gave the students a survey form and asked them to fill in their expectations for their future. Do you know what Mei Lan Ni filled in?"

"Uh... what did she fill in?"

"She wants to find a handsome and rich husband to raise her and spoil her! And then eat, drink, and be happy for a lifetime!"

"..."

Mentioning Mei Lan Ni's "rice worm" dream, Anna couldn't help but clench her fists, then gritted her teeth and said angrily:

"After the teacher saw the form, he pulled her to talk for half a day, saying that she couldn't pin her future on this kind of thing, that her husband couldn't raise her for a lifetime, and asked her to rethink her plans for the future.

This little devil thought for a long time, and as a result, deleted finding a husband, changed it to you raising her for the first half of her life, and Wei Lian raising her for the second half, and then play with dolls, eat snacks, and drink milk tea every day, happily for a lifetime!"

"..."

Okay... this form is filled in, it really fits his cognition of Mei Lan Ni...

"This... I just said it's a bit too early!"

Li Ang, who was thunderstruck, was silent for a while, then tried to persuade her:

"Asking a child what she wants to do in the future, of course she can't figure it out. It's normal to give such a childish answer, and you don't need to be too angry... Oh right, what about Wei Lian? What did he fill in?"

"The answer he filled in... is very mature."

Anna took a deep breath upon hearing this, and said with despair:

"He wants to rebel, overthrow the royal family and become the king himself, and then lead a large army to fight from west to east, push across the twelve kingdoms, and rule the whole world."
