The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 67 Intermission
"This is a course selection card, valid for about a year. You can select different professional courses online and study them on your own. The online courses are the same as the real courses, just presented as videos. But let me make it clear first, the number of online courses you select each day cannot exceed the time allotted for your major. This is a small convenience that our teachers have discussed and decided to give you." Principal Xia winked at Jiang Huizhan: "Jiang, you must study hard, whether you are in the Specialized Military Science Department or a regular major."

The school is so thoughtful...

This was to prevent her from falling behind if she changed her major in the future, so they gave her a course selection card. Except for not being able to attend classes in person or do practical exercises, it was basically no different from actually attending classes.

Although the time allotted for this card cannot exceed the class hours for her major, and she can only take courses outside of her major during her free time, the school has taken her actual situation into consideration and has given her as many suitable educational opportunities as possible.

Even someone like Jiang Hui, who has long been tainted by the world and worldly ways of society, would find it hard not to be moved by such pure kindness.

She believes that all individuals or groups who are wholeheartedly dedicated to the cause of teaching and nurturing students are respectable.

but……

Jiang Hui felt a little embarrassed to accept it. Although it sounded reasonable, it was unfair to other students and could easily cause dissatisfaction, putting both the school and Jiang Hui in a difficult position.

Unexpectedly, the principal told her that this course selection card was specially prepared by the school for students who needed it. Besca Intermediate Academy also takes into account that some students with special circumstances may find that they are not suitable for the course halfway through, so this course selection card was created.

However, such cases usually require an application, and sometimes the applicant's grades in their major must meet certain standards for approval. Jiang Hui's case actually made things easier for her, but it wasn't a difficult matter for the school, and the teachers and students in each class were understanding.

So Jiang Hui took her special tutor card and said goodbye to the principal's office, preparing to rent a dormitory.

As soon as Jiang Hui left, Principal Xia, who had just seemed approachable and amiable, slumped back and slumped into his chair as if he had no bones. The chair tilted backward and even shook.

He loosened his tie around his neck with a carefree air, completely changing his previous gentle and reliable demeanor. He looked no different from the young people laughing and joking on the street as they headed out for a late-night snack, appearing particularly energetic.

In fact, he wasn't that old, only in his fifties or sixties. Compared to the Earthlings of Jiang Hui's previous life, he was indeed considered middle-aged or elderly, but in interstellar space, he looked like he was just entering his prime. A youthful mindset can make you feel young.

"This interstellar education bureau is really something, why do they have to interfere with this? Actually, students should be allowed to do whatever they are interested in, it's their freedom to learn whatever they want. But they have to do this, one thing on the surface and another behind the scenes. I really can't bear to continue operating like this."

While interstellar travel doesn't restrict citizens' freedom of choice and stipulates that everyone has the right to make their own choices, from the Empire's perspective, they still hope that more high-level awakened individuals can contribute to the Empire's great cause.

The empire wouldn't make any demands on ordinary people. These people are the most ordinary "components" of the entire country, but they are also the most core and important part of it. The future of the empire they protect includes the vast majority of these ordinary people.

The Empire simply wants its citizens to live good lives and work hard to build a better nation for interstellar people. This is what the nation expects of its ordinary citizens.

However, the Empire's requirements are different for those awakened individuals with potential and qualifications. The Empire is willing to provide these individuals with more resources, wealth, and even status, but at the same time, these awakened individuals also need to shoulder more responsibilities and obligations, contributing their utmost to the Empire's expansion and security.

The Empire, relatively speaking, does not want awakened individuals with abilities to choose to settle into ordinary lives and bury their potential. This would be a waste of their abilities for the Empire.

However, the ruling government couldn't enact laws strictly prohibiting these highly potential and talented Awakened from pursuing ordinary jobs and professions. Therefore, it could only secretly issue instructions to lower-level institutions, urging them to discover and encourage talented Awakened as much as possible, preventing them from falling into other spheres. Individuals like Jiang Hui, who had undergone a second awakening and reached A-level, and whose parents were both loyal military officers of the Empire, were naturally within the scope of this persuasion.

The school saw that Jiang Hui wanted to study a regular major, which is why they arranged a meeting with the principal's office—in order to subtly persuade Jiang Hui.

Of course, they weren't lying to Jiang Hui, because the system was indeed closed. If Jiang Hui really wanted to change her major, she would have to wait until next year; there was no other way.

However, the school felt that they might be able to guide Jiang Hui in choosing her major the following year.

Therefore, the school also applied for a course selection card for her, hoping that Jiang Hui would be able to choose other high-demand mental health majors after leaving the Combat Mech Department next year.

Principal Xia Jiesen did not actually agree with the potential interference from the Interstellar Education Bureau, but their Beska Intermediate Academy was backed by the military, but on the surface it was still under the management of the Interstellar Education Bureau, so they could not avoid such orders.

Moreover, the military and the Interstellar Education Bureau probably share similar views on this point, so even if Jason Xia is unwilling, he has no choice but to comply.

However, judging from what Jiang said, the other party didn't seem as determined as he had imagined.

Jiang Hui may not actually want to pursue a regular major as she claims.

Jason had prepared a lot of arguments, but before he could say much, after only a sentence or two, the other party accepted them without him wasting any breath... even though the other students weren't like that.

So, could it be that she herself actually has this idea, or is simply indifferent...? I just can't understand kids these days.

Jason, who was never good at this kind of thing, felt his face was about to freeze from smiling. His serious demeanor just now had made him feel extremely uncomfortable. That's why he never liked greeting students in the principal's office.

I wonder if Teacher Duan would be willing to help him with this kind of thing next time.

Then the computer communication rang again. Jason had to sit up straight in his chair, straighten his tie, and then return to the computer communication.

Not long after, Ms. Duan from the Academic Affairs Office brought another student into the principal's office.

Jiang Hui: The school is so thoughtful!

Principal: Jiang, be more careful. Don't get sold out and still be counting the money for them. Actually, I support you choosing the path you like... I was really forced into it. Those people in the Education Bureau are too despicable.

The school: Using an A-level mental mechanics course for ancient language and literature is a complete waste of talent; if the higher-ups find out, they'll definitely cut quotas and funding. We need to quickly persuade them and see if we can change their minds—
