"Holy shit, that kid actually broke the KJ-350 composite gun in half!" Bel commented from time to time as he watched the fight with great interest.
Silin didn't say anything, but he was also paying attention to the discussions around him. Most of the time, the information provided by the bystanders was far better than the information provided by the main character.
It didn't take long for Silin to figure out why the two sides were fighting. It was because of the noble Blazing Hawk. When the Blazing Hawk Folvig's men arrived on the planet, everyone on the planet knew about it through the advanced communication network.
Everyone on the planet was already on the move. Be it the lesser nobles who wanted to curry favor with the Blazing Hawks or the commoners who craved recognition, they were all making preparations.
Of course, Barren Bator Academy paid close attention to this news, so the students were already asking around for information.
Because of the arrival of the Blazing Eagles, the competition between the two sides became even more intense. The nobles said that the commoners were delusional, but the commoners quickly retaliated. In the last semester's comprehensive rankings, more than 60% of the top 100 were commoners. This was a disgrace that the noble students had always felt. In the end, the two sides started fighting. A closer look would reveal that both sides were holding back, which was why the school's security guards were able to watch from the sidelines.
As long as there weren't any major incidents, the school would turn a blind eye to the fight between the two sides. To put it nicely, it was exciting competition.
However, right now Cillin was puzzled. Why did a commoner have the guts to pick a fight with a noble here? Weren't they afraid of the nobles' retaliation?
It wasn't that Silin thought poorly of the nobles, but there were far too few people like Bel. Back on Old Chang's planet, the few nobles he'd seen looked down on others with their noses raised high, as if to say, "Don't piss me off or I'll kill you." It was hard to compare to the current situation.
Silin asked Bel directly because he didn't understand the situation. After all, Bel was a real noble.
"Bel, is there little difference between the commoners and the nobles in the school?"
Bel rubbed his chin. "That depends on the school. The better the school, the smaller the difference in treatment. As for Barenbator, although I've never heard of it before, according to the materials, since it's ranked in the top ten in this star region, it has the ability to reduce the difference in treatment between civilians and nobles. After all, Barenbator once produced an honorary scholar of the RAS, and it's possible that the honorary scholar will be promoted to an academician of the RAS soon. "
Bel smacked his lips and tossed the empty bottle into the trash can. "That honorary scholar is from the twenty-third sector of the empire. He received his secondary education in Barren Bator when he was young, but he was picked up by a school in the sector where the imperial capital is located because he excelled too much. After that, he entered the Royal Academy of Sciences and became an honorary scholar. Isn't there a lot of space in the introduction of the school in Barenbator about the honorary scholar coming back to his alma mater to give a speech? "
Of course Silin knew that Barenbator had produced an honorary scholar, but he didn't think that it would be enough to make Barenbator compromise to such an extent. It was because he had seen the difference between nobles and commoners that Silin was surprised to hear that a commoner could argue with a noble student at Barenbator, and the school didn't seem to care at all!
Bel chuckled when he saw Silin's surprise. "That's the RAS we're talking about. It's no small institution. It's the RAS! My old man tried to push me into it back in the day, but I failed. I have no talent in my head. "
Bel pointed at his own head, but he didn't sound depressed. It was as if he was talking about something normal.
Bel told Silin a bit about the RAS, and it was only now that Silin realized that nobles weren't the only ones standing at the top of the Mist Bodhisattva Empire.
The RAS was the highest academic institution and research center in the Mist Bodhisattva Empire. It was also the highest hall of honor for researchers. It was an independent institution that wasn't directly under the control of the Mist Bodhisattva Empire.
Interestingly enough, seventy percent of the RAS's members were commoners, not nobles. It was also worth mentioning that the current president of the RAS was a commoner. This alone was enough to force some nobles to think carefully when dealing with certain issues.
Anyone who could enter the RAS was no weaker than some mid-level nobles, especially the few veteran researchers. Even the royal family had to be polite to them. After all, they played an important role in the Mist Bodhisattva Empire's development. The RAS was the authority of academia, just like the League of Stars's League of Stars Research Institute.
The RAS also had academicians, but academician was an honorary title that recognized a person's academic ability. Although it wasn't divided into several ranks like the League of Stars, the RAS was still divided into two categories: Honorary Scholar and Academician.
In the Mist Bodhisattva Empire, the academicians of the RAS had a lot of responsibilities. Aside from their own research projects, they would regularly attend meetings held by the RAS's various departments to discuss recent scientific progress and report on the latest scientific developments. They would also participate in all kinds of academic seminars organized by the RAS's interdisciplinary committees. Sometimes, they would accept commissions from noble companies to do research and development work. They would also accept invitations from famous schools to give lectures and give lectures. They would also participate in all kinds of scientific awards and evaluate the overall strength of middle and high level schools.
The Mist Bodhisattva Empire was an empire that worshipped science and knowledge. That was why the academicians of the RAS were highly respected and held high social status. They were no longer commoners or nobles, and they enjoyed special privileges in certain places. In fact, they were even more privileged than some nobles.
There were many times when a noble's family business would need to hire the RAS's guidance if they wanted to develop properly. One could imagine what would happen if a noble completely offended the RAS's people. The monarch and the three kings mostly respected the RAS's people. Did your family have more influence than the monarch and the three kings?
It didn't matter what kind of society they lived in, people who worshipped academics and devoted themselves to them were all the same. They had their own worldview, and they had their own beliefs no matter who they were facing.
The main reason Barren Bator was able to become one of the top ten academies in the star region was because they had the right to show off their RAS's Honorary Scholar. That was why Barren Bator was always looking forward to the appearance of the next Honorary Scholar. Every year, there would be a few people who were accepted into the empire's famous higher education schools, but none of them ever made it into the RAS.
In fact, every year, the school of Barenbator invested more effort into the commoners than the nobles. After all, nobles were always at a disadvantage when it came to academic competitions. You couldn't expect those noble students who only knew how to dress up and flirt with girls to do research for you, could you? That was basically impossible.
Of course, it wasn't like one group of people could kill a whole group of people. There were many capable people among the nobles, and there were also some who came from noble backgrounds in the academy. After all, the RAS wasn't a place where you could get into just because you had connections.
There was no absolute relationship between IQ and character, and there was no absolute relationship between IQ and family background.
The better the school, the more peaceful they would be with the commoners. As long as you had the ability, you could enjoy the same treatment as the nobles, or even better.
"Yo, the fight's almost over!" Bel said.
Silin looked over. The school's security guards had already gone up to stop the fight. Both sides were bruised and battered, but their injuries weren't serious. At the very least, they weren't life-threatening.
By the time both sides had left, the onlookers had mostly left as well.
"Let's go find Little Three and Little Four," Silin said as he stood up and dusted off the grass on his clothes.
Bel placed his palm on his forehead and looked around the school buildings. "Where are we going to find them? Dormitories? I think they're about to start class. "
"Silin, that electronic bulletin board over there shows the overall ranking of the students!" Huimao pointed in a direction.
There was a large bulletin board not far away. It was used by the school to announce the results of the comprehensive test.
"Let's see if we can find Little Three and Little Four's names."
Silin and Bel walked over to the bulletin board. Since the board had been showing the overall ranking for quite some time, there weren't many people around to see it.
Bel looked through the top one hundred names of the first grade and sighed. "I don't see Little Three and Little Four."
"Yes, they are in the 31st and 37th place." Silin pointed out the names to Bel.
"31st Chang Xiao and 37th Chang Fu? Not Little Three and Little Four? "
"Little Three and Little Four are just their nicknames. Chang Xiao and Chang Fu are their real names," Silin explained.
"I see."
Cillin moved his finger on the control panel below the noticeboard and pointed at Little Three Chang Xiao and Little Four Chang Fu's names. Their classes, classes, classes, and the location of their classes were displayed.
Inside the school's surveillance room, someone said, "Huh? There are two people checking Chang Xiao and Chang Fu's information today. Speaking of which, aren't Chang Xiao and Chang Fu commoners?"
All the information recorded on the bulletin board would be displayed in the surveillance room.
"They are indeed commoners," another person said. "They were in the eighties during the entrance test, but now they're in the top fifty. They have great potential, but no one has ever checked their information before."
The two of them didn't pay much attention to it after that. After all, things like this happened all the time, and they were already used to it.
On the other side, Bel and Silin were preparing to go to Chang San and Chang Si's classroom. There were still two hours before the end of class, so Silin and Bel decided to take a look around the school first.
The school's environment was pretty good, but there were plenty of young boys and girls in the secluded woods. Most of them were the children of nobles. Bel even went to eavesdrop on them with a perverted look on his face. Silin's face twitched uncontrollably.
So this is the real prince of the Blaze Eagle Royal Family! If the citizens of Mist Bodhisattva Kingdom were to learn of this prince's behavior, they would definitely be horrified.
Huimao jumped back onto Silin's shoulder after running into the bushes to catch small insects. There was still pollen at the corner of its mouth from eating two large butterflies. Licking its paw, it wiped the corner of its mouth and patted Silin. "Let's go, it's going to rain soon!"
Silin looked at the sky and saw that clouds were indeed starting to float over. However, it didn't look like it was going to rain.
Even though it didn't look like it, Silin still did as Huimao said. He gestured to Bel and ran to the vending machine to buy two umbrellas. He had planned to buy four, but there were only two left in the machine.
Even with the rapid advancement of science and technology, these primitive tools hadn't been eliminated yet. Not many changes had been made to them. Many people preferred to use these primitive tools in the rain and experience the world being washed away by the rain. In many places, people couldn't see the rain and nature of nature.
As expected, five minutes later, the clouds in the sky suddenly grew thicker and the rain began to fall. Some young couples hurriedly abandoned their rendezvous, and some even remotely controlled their flying cars to pick them up. Some of the crazier kids were holding hands and running in the rain, laughing loudly.
Bel ran over and caught the umbrella Silin threw at him. He opened it and cursed, "The sky was clear just now, and now it's raining? What kind of shitty weather is this? It's worse than our AF3. "
"AF3?" Silin asked.
Bel flicked the water off his hair and raised his chin proudly. He was about to say something when he looked around to make sure no one was around. Then, he whispered, "I'm studying at the RAS Affiliated Third Higher Education School, or AF3 for short. What do you think? Jealous? "
Bel didn't try to hide it. He knew that Silin had already guessed his identity, so he was more than willing to admit it.
Silin, on the other hand, didn't have much of a reaction. Given Bel's background, it wasn't strange for him to study at a good school. It wasn't hard to imagine how important a school with the prefix "RAS" was compared to other schools. However …
"Why AF3? There's AF1 and AF2 in front of it? "
Bel curled his lips. "There are only three higher education schools affiliated to the RAS, and our AF3 is the most normal. The other two schools are filled with freaks."
Bel shook the goosebumps on his skin as if he had thought of something terrifying. He turned to Silin and said seriously, "It's true, they're all freaks! If you hear of anyone from AF1 or AF2 in the future, you have to be careful, or you'll end up miserable. "
Silin nodded. "Got it."
Bel didn't talk too much about AF1 or AF2. Instead, he talked about how he and his two bad friends were at AF3. They were the famous "Three Dissolute Swordsmen" of AF3. They didn't have a lot of good things to say, but they had a ton of bad things to say.
Bel was talking excitedly when Silin asked, "Speaking of which, you're still in higher education, aren't you?"
Bel's voice came to an abrupt halt. "Ahem, about that. I need to adjust my mindset from time to time. I can't just throw myself into my studies. My brain is small, and I can't take in so many complicated things at once. I have to clear my memory every once in a while."
Silin was amused. You think you're in the right?
Of course, Silin wouldn't comment too much on other people's business. Everyone had their own way of thinking.
Bel felt a little awkward. To distract himself, he pointed at Huimao. "What's that cat listening to?"
Silin looked over. Huimao wasn't even paying attention to their conversation. His ears were perked up as he listened to something intently. From the frequency at which his whiskers moved, Silin could tell that the cat had found its prey. This guy would move his whiskers at a certain frequency whenever he heard the sound of prey.
Silin flicked Huimao's ears. "What did you hear?"
Huimao smiled sweetly. "Frogs!"
"Frogs?!" Bel's eyes lit up. "When I was in AF3, Xing Ming, Canuo, and I caught frogs and roasted them back at the dorm. They were delicious!"
Under the eager gaze of a man and a cat, Silin headed to the place Huimao said had frogs. There was still an hour before Little Three and Little Four's class ended. They still had time.
There was a lotus pond in Barren Bator that was filled with frogs. Unlike normal frogs, these frogs didn't go through a metamorphosis period. In other words, they didn't go through the stage of tadpoles. Instead, they directly developed into frogs.
The Lotus Pond was huge, and the weather in Barren Bator was perfect for the growth and reproduction of these frogs. Frogs could be heard croaking most of the year. However, many nobles didn't bother to catch these slimy creatures, and some civilians didn't have the guts to do so. After all, in Barren Bator Academy, it was good enough that they could enjoy relatively equal treatment. They didn't dare to catch the frogs in the Lotus Pond. Some nobles saw them catching frogs and laughed at them. After that, very few people came to catch frogs.
Maybe it was because the students of Barren Bator didn't attack the frogs sitting on top of the lotus leaves carelessly that the frogs had grown bolder. They didn't even move their legs when they saw Cillin and Bel walking towards them. Only when Bel caught him with a smirk on his face did he croak, then fall silent as Bel skillfully knocked him out cold and tossed him aside.
"One. Keep going. We have to get at least one dish!"
Bel was very skilled at catching frogs. He held an umbrella with one hand and grabbed a frog near the road with the other.
Huimao had already jumped into the pond to play. There were plump fish and stupid frogs in the pond. It was enough for him to play for a while.
Silin put the frogs that Bel knocked unconscious into his bag and thought about how he was going to eat them later.
While Chang San and Chang Si were listening attentively in class, they would never have imagined that these two people who were older than them by more than ten years and should be much more mature were currently catching frogs in their school's lotus pond.
