Chapter 625 Senior Sister's Advice
"To put it bluntly, students from powerful families have a greater chance of being admitted than students from poor families."
Holden sneered to expose the nature of Midgard University's admissions system.
Hailar glared at him angrily, but could only helplessly admit that what Holden said was true.
"There is no way to do this. Midgard University is a private school. The business tycoons of the colonial company have the right to speak on the school board. Businessmen do not open schools for charity, and profit through the education industry is secondary. What's more important is to manage the alumni circle with heart and build a network of contacts linked by the 'alumni' relationship."
"People in this circle must either have money or power, and if they have neither money nor power, they must achieve outstanding academic achievements. In short, they are all social elites!"
"The Graduate School of Midgard University is the 'cradle' for cultivating elites. Of course, rich and powerful children have a greater starting advantage than poor students. This may not be fair, but whether you like it or hate it, if you want to be in society To gain a foothold, you have to accept this set of social laws!" Hailaer said seriously.
"Of course wealth and power are great, but unfortunately I don't have both." Joan sighed.
Not to mention rich and powerful relatives, the last of his immediate family members is no longer alive.
Hailar was not surprised by Joan's distress. He patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him with a smile: "Since wealth and power are not comparable to others, you can only work harder on your studies and try to show your outstanding talents in your resume." Ingenuity, like attaching an original spell."
"Original spells? Are you kidding me!" Holden couldn't help interjecting, "Humans in the world of Vales have learned spellcasting skills from elves for tens of thousands of years. During these long years, In every era, many outstanding genius mages emerge. These ancestors have explored almost all the paths that can be explored in the field of arcane magic, and have excavated all the details that can be excavated. Innovating on the basis of inheritance has become more and more difficult. Even the professors of the Austrian Law School have to spend countless efforts to invent an original spell that may not be practical. Now there are less than two months left before the deadline for applying for the exam , You asked a low-level mage like Joan to do some original spells, didn't you mean to embarrass him!"
Hailar had to admit that Holden's accusation was well-founded, stroking the twin ponytails hanging on his shoulders, and said with a guilty conscience: "Actually, original or not... It's just a gimmick, and it may not be necessary to invent an unprecedented spell. , optimizing on the basis of the existing spell configuration, it can barely be considered original, and it can be written in the resume as a prestige."
What she said was probably based on experience. Young mages who applied for the Advanced Law Research Institute of Midgard University generally used such so-called "innovations" to write in their resumes to show off. However, Joan heard it, but was deeply moved It hurt deeply.
When he was studying at Leiden College, the most disgusting behavior of Rawls' mentor was academically being clever and opportunistic, and this kind of meaningless adjustment to the spell configuration, which was forcibly called "innovation", was A typical practice of "academic misconduct" in the eyes of Rawls' tutor.
For example, a spell has a duration of 10 minutes and a maximum range of 100 feet. You adjust the structure of the spell to a duration of 9 minutes and a maximum range of 110 feet. Efficiency also remains the same, calling it "optimization" is very reluctant, and where is the courage to call it "innovation"?
This kind of adjustment is purely demolishing the east wall to make up the west wall. It can only prove that you are very familiar with this spell and are a "skilled magic weaver". You can't see the flash of genius or the spark of inspiration. There is no academic value on it, let alone innovation.
If a researcher of arcane law treats academics with such a mentality, he is a "bastard" to put it bluntly, and he will not achieve any great achievements in his life.
If Qiao An also adopts this opportunistic approach to whitewash his resume, first of all, he will not be able to pass the hurdle in his heart. It is tantamount to ruining his ideals with his own hands, and let alone the indoctrination and spirituality of Rawls.
Qiao An secretly made up her mind that she must not engage in such self-deception!
Since he didn't want to take a "shortcut", he could only spend his time doing truly original magic research.
Of course, this road is not easy to walk. As Holden said, the easy road has long been walked by the predecessors, and what is left to future generations is a huge pit with no bottom. Once you plunge into it, you will not be able to climb The kind that came up!
However, Joan still had some confidence. He has independently developed six 1st-level "mythical spells". Although it is inconvenient to expose his "mythical power" in the publicly submitted resume, at least the research and development experience of these spells can be used for reference.
Seeing that Joan was gloomy, Hailaer changed the subject, trying to defuse the dull atmosphere.
"Joan, how many days do you plan to stay in Freeport?"
"Leave early tomorrow morning and take Mr. McQuay's 'Mercury' cargo ship. I have already obtained a position as a 'Navigation Mage' on the ship. If the wind is smooth, I can sail to Midgard City within a week at most. "Joan answered truthfully.
"Originally, I wanted to take you to play in the city for a few more days. Since you are in a hurry, then come back to play when you have a chance. I will accompany you on the boat to go back to school tomorrow morning. For the person with the highest salary, the captain has to give you some face, and he probably won’t charge the boat ticket money from the friends of the navigator.” Hailaer said with a smile.
"Maybe." Joan couldn't refuse Hailar's request to go with her, so she could only wait until tomorrow morning to ask Mr. McQuay to allow her a free ride.
"When you arrive at Midgard University, I will protect you with my seniors, so no one will dare to bully you!" Hailar said confidently.
"Since Joan is leaving tomorrow, it doesn't make sense for me to stay in this ghost place alone. Anyway, I don't have any clear travel plans. I don't care where I go. Why don't I go to Midgard City with you and try it out?" Can you get into the art school of Midgard University." Holden said excitedly.
"Just you? Art Academy?" Hyrule sneered and mocked Holden, "What kind of art do you know? Shameless art, or lip service?"
"Vulgar country girl, I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you!" Holden rolled his eyes.
Seeing that the two critters were about to quarrel again, a gust of cool wind suddenly blew through the open window of the tavern, and a seagull wearing a white sailor cap and a blue triangle scarf around its neck went straight in through the window and landed in front of Hailar on the bar counter.
The seagull flapped its wings, patted the empty wine bottle on the table, raised its head and stared at Hailar with a pair of dark eyes, his face full of displeasure.
The fifth change is completed, please recommend a monthly ticket
