Dawn Blade's learning levels were divided into four levels: entry, beginner, intermediate, and advanced. Only by completing the advanced courses and obtaining the required credits would one be awarded a graduation certificate. A Dawn Blade graduation certificate was equivalent to a golden key even in the Federation, not to mention being an important qualification assessment certificate within the clan. Many important institutions in the Federation could be opened for this certificate. Of course, not many students graduated from Dawn Blade every year.
For most of them, all they got was a certificate of completion.
Dawn Blade did not impose a mandatory time limit on students' studies. In other words, in theory, you could soak from 18 to 80 years old, as long as you could afford the high tuition fees each year. Many students would not be able to graduate from the academy for one reason or another, and would only be able to obtain a certificate of completion. However, even if he obtained a certificate, if he could complete the intermediate course, he would be able to be valued in the clan.
A freshman like Allen naturally had to start with the entry-level course. But even for the introductory course, Allen received a long list of courses. In the next three months, he would have to read a brief history of the Federation, basic mathematics, a brief introduction to biology, a brief record of cosmic geography, an outline of the Origin Energy System, an introduction to combat skills, basic warfare, an outline of family management, and a series of other subjects.
Seeing the list of courses, Allen truly admired Adele from the bottom of his heart. Adele, who had left the academy the next day, had now completed the intermediate course and received the highest credits in her level. If nothing unexpected happened, the young miss of the Morsons would be able to graduate from Dawn Blade in another year.
A diploma was enough for Adele to knock on the door of the Family Council of Elders and earn herself a solid position in the Council of Elders.
On the second day of school, Allen's classes officially began.
His first lesson on this day was a brief record of cosmic geography, which would help Allen build a perfect view of the universe. The class was held in a spacious classroom in the main building of the teaching department, which could accommodate a hundred people at the same time. The seats were spacious and comfortable, but there were crowded tables and chairs on both sides, which were prepared for commoners at their own expense.
Allen found a seat near the corner and sat down. He looked around and saw that there weren't many students sitting in the same area as him. They sat down in twos and threes. At this moment, a wisp of ink suddenly floated in front of his eyes, and Vera in a black dress sat in front of Allen. Even though it was a theory class, Vera still brought her drawing board and charcoal pencil. It seemed that no matter where she went, these things would never leave her side.
The front door of the classroom was pushed open, and a tall and thin doctor walked in. Under the gray hair was a thin face, and after glancing at the students in the classroom with his eyes covered by thick glasses, the doctor introduced himself, "You can call me Dirk. You'll probably see me a lot in the coming days. I will be teaching Cosmic Geography, History of the Federation, and Basic Mathematics. You probably won't like me either, because my assessment has always been very strict. However, that's something that will happen in three months. "
"Now, let us get straight to the point." Professor Dirk lowered his head and glanced at the students from behind the glasses. "Don't underestimate this introductory course. It will let you recognize your position, the family you have always been proud of, and even this planet, which is actually not even a speck of dust in the vast universe. Facing the infinite universe, even the gods have to lower their noble heads. As for you, it's not too much to prostrate yourself. "
"Respect the universe and know how to revere it. Only then can you find your foothold in the universe. Only with a fulcrum can you explore and conquer. Otherwise, you're just some pitiful reptiles. When you raise your head and see a leaf, you think you've conquered the universe! "
Looking at the little faces in the classroom, they were either confused, serious, or laughing. Dr. Dirk muttered in his heart, "This is the time for some applause, idiots!" Unfortunately, the students didn't buy the doctor's account, so Dr. Dirk could only continue, "Before I take you to the real universe, I'll tell you an interesting story …"
The doctor paused, looking forward to the excited expressions of the students, but what he saw was that a few kids were already yawning. Dr. Dirk shook his head and said, "This story is about a gunman, a sharpshooter. His marksmanship is extremely powerful. He can make a hole every ten centimeters on a target. There is a two-dimensional intelligent life form living on this target. To them, the target is the entire world, the entire universe! "
"After their scientists observed their world, they discovered this law: every ten centimeters in the universe, there must be a hole!" Dr. Dirk raised his glasses and said, "What a sad theory. They regard a random behavior as the law of their universe. Look, what a narrow understanding this is. They don't explore the wider universe, but define everything in their own line of sight. "
"I hope that through this story, you can take a longer view. With a broader and more profound vision, we can look at this almost boundless world that we live in. "
Next, they finally entered the formal theory class. Perhaps the noble children had already heard of what Dr. Dirk was talking about. But for Allen, everything was new. He was like a sponge, constantly absorbing what the doctor had to say. After one day, Allen had a preliminary understanding of the entire universe.
The current geography of the universe does not originate from the Federation, but from Adahua Planet's knowledge system. After all, compared to Earth, a young planet that had existed for countless years, Adahua Planet was more qualified to regulate its understanding of the universe. Adahua Planet uses the Garter Domain where it is located as the center of the universe, dividing this infinite space into nine star domains and 36,000 sectors. All known planets are located and coded according to their positions in the sector, thus laying the foundation for high-level warfare in the universe.
As Dr. Decker said, Earth is just one of the countless planets, looking at the whole universe, almost as small as a dust particle.
The afternoon course was basic warfare, but the knowledge taught was related to high-level interplanetary warfare.
"The universe is turbulent and chaotic! Stability and order are only temporary dynamic balances. The essence of the universe is chaotic turbulence, and the essence of civilization is war and invasion! Looking at the history of our own planet, which civilization wasn't born in the flames of war? More than four hundred years ago, before the Battle of Dawn, our planet was like an egg. At that time, we played the role of being colonized. Fortunately, we were able to get out of this awkward role with Adahua Planet's support. Over the next four hundred years, we worked hard to develop our military strength, learn the spatial teleportation technology of the Adahua Planet people, and build a rainbow bridge near the moon that can teleport to outer space. "All of this gives us the capital to participate in high-level wars in the universe, transforming us from colonized to invaders!"
Professor Randolph, who was in charge of this course, was not tall, but very sturdy. He himself was a retired lieutenant general in the army and was hired by the Blade of Dawn as a mentor in the field of war. Randolph waved his huge fist. His short hair stood up and his eyes widened, roaring like a soldier about to go to war.
"Professor, what's the difference between us and the people of Nelm back then? Are we invaders like them? "A student stood up and asked.
"Of course!" Professor Randolph sneered, "First, we don't flaunt how great we are. The essence of war is also plunder." But remember, our invasion and plunder are restrained. In the process, we will even help the planets of low-dimensional civilizations speed up their development, benefiting each other in the process. As for the people of Nelm, their lunatics and devils from the Yordon Domain, they are not invading or colonizing. It's squeezing! It's destruction! They don't care about the life and death of the planet, nor do they care about long-term interests. Every time those short-sighted bastards arrive on a planet, they will only use inferior means to squeeze out the energy and supplies of a planet, and finally turn the planet into a dead star. Whether it's a creature or a civilization, it will be completely erased by them! "
"Finally, Young Master. You have to thank your family and the colonial planet behind your family for providing you with a source of wealth for your family to sit here and listen to the lecture. That's the difference! "
Allen found it easier to understand what Professor Randolph said. He grew up on the surface and was with the snow wolves, so he had seen the cruelest side of nature. The strong preying on the weak was a natural thing to him, but even as a hunter, a snow wolf rarely killed its prey. Bai Fang would sometimes even order the wolves not to prey on prey that were still in their infancy, which was equivalent to another form of captivity.
Of course, the war in the Outer Realm was much more complicated than this. It was related to the collision of two different civilizations, and in more than four hundred years of history. Whether it was the Federation or the great clans, they had long since formed a standard process of invasion, colonization, control, and profit from the Outer Realm War.
At the end of the class, Randolph looked at the students and said, "War is never sacred, let alone just." All of them had words like sacred and righteous, but their positions and appearances were different. The essence of war is always ugly. As you will eventually set foot on the battlefield of the Outer Realm in the future, you should face this as soon as possible. "But war is not all bad. One thing is certain. War is a catalyst for the development of civilization."
"That's all for today's class!"
This day's class made Allen unable to calm down for a long time. It was just like igniting the fire seed, building a circuit, and bringing Allen into the Origin World's gate. Today's lectures by the two mentors brought Allen into another world. And these lessons, these knowledge, were definitely not things that a boy on the surface could hear or imagine. At this time, Allen had no choice but to sigh at the wonders of fate.
He had lost a lot, and now, he had finally gained something. Moreover, these gains would only increase in the foreseeable future.
