Chapter 302 :The Legend of Exam-Oriented Education

Before Danitz could say anything, the door of the captain's cabin suddenly opened again. Edwina appeared at the door and called out to Alice: "Alice, come over here for a moment."

It feels like a teacher suddenly appearing to call away a student who made a mistake... Alice, who had a strange sense of identification, looked guiltily at Danitz and silently followed.

The air in the captain's cabin was filled with the smell of distilled essence and essential oils that hadn't yet dissipated. Alice realized that a ritual had taken place here not long ago.

Unfortunately, the ritual site had already been cleaned up, and Alice couldn't determine the specific content of the ritual from these clues.

No, even if I saw it, I might not be able to determine the ritual content... Alice thought while looking at Edwina in confusion.

Why do I feel like her eyes seem a bit gentler than before... hmm, her expression seems to be too? Alice blinked her eyes in bewilderment a couple of times. Before she could speak, she heard Edwina ask in a soft voice: "I remember you came from Loen?"

Alice looked at her warily before saying: "Yes."

"Have you ever thought about going to see Lenburg?" Edwina asked.

Alice's movements paused for a moment. For an instant, she remembered Amon inviting her to play in the Forsaken Land of the Gods.

Edwina seemed to misunderstand her silence and turned to introduce to her: "If you want to learn more about mysticism, Lenburg is undoubtedly the best choice. There..."

"Stop," Alice raised her hand to interrupt her words, "Am I being trafficked again?"

Edwina was stunned for a moment. Before she could speak, she saw Alice's face turn cold as she said: "No matter who told you to say this to me... I hate people interfering with my decisions."

After pausing for a moment, she couldn't help but criticize:

"I feel like you're even worse at hiding things than I am... Lenburg... God of Knowledge and Wisdom... are you from the Church of Knowledge? "Your people over there aren't all just good at exams, are they? "Don't tell me exam-oriented education has also... been brought over? No, that's not right, that should be... uh, could there be someone else?"

Alice seriously began to consider how many "transmigrators" existed in this world.

She looked at Edwina, laboriously pressed her tongue against her teeth and turned it in a circle, then suppressed the criticism she wanted to say in her heart.

There are too many of you transmigrators, not all protagonists of the era can be from the transmigration genre... there should also be reincarnation genre, system genre, and various other genres...

R-really, if nothing else works, you could have a Dragon King's Return... or a War God's Return with the child living in a doghouse...

Uh, if the male side is all complete, then you could have something like the true and false noble lady, contract marriage, marriage before love, substitute lover... uh, that one already exists.

R-really, if nothing else works, there could be a Mary Sue princess revenge diary... no, wait, could I do that myself? Alice began to seriously consider whether human children could be born with rainbow-colored hair and rainbow-colored eyes.

When young, floating rose petals and dropping pearls when crying would be difficult to arrange. Multiple hair colors might be hard to handle, heterochromia could barely manage for the eyes...

As for appearance, that hurdle is passed. Money... money would be easiest to solve, gangster stuff... uh, I don't feel like I could pull that off... anyway, we'll see when the time comes!

This era doesn't have computers and such... hmm, is the problem solved then? Edwina frowned as she watched Alice's thoughts cross from the Sonia Sea, traverse the Wild Sea, and head straight for the Fog Sea, falling into contemplation.

You could at least take a detour... no, you could at least make yourself clear! There was too much unclear content in Alice's words. Setting aside the parts she blurted out without explaining clearly, those few key words that were turned into blanks obviously left Edwina full of confusion.

But Alice obviously had no intention of explaining to her. She thoughtfully nodded, raised her head to find Edwina still looking at her, paused for a moment and then hesitantly asked: "Do you have any other questions?"

Now it's "you" again.

The change in personal pronouns made Edwina keenly aware of Alice's change in attitude. She suddenly felt she had found a trick to identify Alice's emotions and tried asking:

"I guess you don't plan to stay here and systematically learn mysticism?"

"...You actually teach systematically here?" Alice widened her eyes in surprise.

Edwina thought for a moment and said: "Not completely, but it's basically from easy to difficult."

Alice took a small breath, looked at her with admiring eyes, and then curiously asked: "Do you have textbooks?"

Edwina hesitantly shook her head.

Alice rolled her eyes and revealed a not-so-friendly smile, saying: "I have a suggestion, do you want to hear it?"

Edwina hesitantly nodded.

Alice cleared her throat twice and said:

"First, prepare a set of uniform clothing for the students. This set of clothes should be loose, rough, ugly in style, with dull or bizarre color matching—for example, what I'm wearing now belongs to the dull color matching category.

"Secondly, set a uniform and regular timetable for the students, such as...

"Start morning reading at seven o'clock, end at seven-thirty, half an hour for exercise or ideological education, start class at eight o'clock, lunch at twelve, end at twelve-thirty.

"Start class again at two in the afternoon, dinner at six, end at six-thirty, start evening self-study at seven, until classes end at eleven, must be asleep by eleven-thirty.

"Of course, people can't keep working like this, or they'll definitely go crazy. For the sake of students' mental health, we can tell students they get a two-day break every two weeks, and then cancel the holiday for various excuses.

"For example, we can hold weekly exams, monthly exams, rank each exam, evaluate test papers, analyze overall class rankings, encourage students who rise in rank, criticize those who fall, and at the same time, let students who rank at the front share their learning experiences.

"For another example, we can use the excuse of having a three-day holiday next week to not give a holiday this week, and we can also use holiday time to hold various activities that squeeze out the holiday...

"At the same time, we can assign a large amount of homework for the holiday... Of course, we should assign it during normal times too, but the amount assigned for holidays must be extremely large, so that students deeply realize that it's better to be at school than on holiday..." Note ①

Alice spoke eloquently. The more Edwina listened, the more silent she became, and the more complex her expression became. When Alice finally stopped, she gave her evaluation with complex emotions: "The system you described would perhaps be suitable in a prison."

"How can prisoners be treated like this!" Alice widened her eyes, "Prisoners have human rights too!"
