Big Capitalist

The dean of Dawn Academy stepped forward quickly, smiling widely, and said, "Mr. Merlin, you can come to our Dawn Academy despite your busy schedule. It is really an honor for us. Dawn Academy has always been committed to the development of magic education, and is eager to exchange and cooperate with excellent academies from all sides. I believe that Mr. Merlin's visit today will bring us new inspiration and ideas. Once again, warmly welcome Mr. Merlin!"

Merlin smiled as he calmly walked to the front of the stage, bowed slightly to the crowd, and said, "Today, I'm delighted to be here at Dawn Academy, a vibrant place like this. I've always believed that communication between different academies is an important cornerstone of magical advancement. Therefore, my visit this time isn't about so-called instruction, but rather a sincere sharing and exchange of ideas. I hope that in the coming days, we can speak freely and explore the mysteries of the magical world together."

Although some teachers and students in the audience were not enthusiastic, Merlin remained gentle and confident, as if he was completely unaware of the upcoming "challenge".

Merlin calmly scanned the audience and spoke slowly, "I'm sure the teachers and students here are all wondering what kind of magical knowledge I'll be sharing today, or perhaps sharing my experience with the academy's reforms. But unfortunately, I don't plan to talk about that today."

As soon as these words were spoken, the instructors and students in the audience were stunned. All the tricky questions they had carefully prepared were instantly like hitting cotton and were completely useless.

Merlin smiled slightly and continued, "Today, I have specially invited some very distinguished guests. These guests are closely related to the students present here. It can be said that they are the most important guides on your life path."

Merlin paused deliberately, keeping the audience in suspense. Then, in an infectious voice, he said, "Now, everyone, please stand up and slowly turn your heads toward the entrance. Let us welcome these most precious guests together."

Most students had different reactions when they heard Merlin's words.

Some showed disdain on their faces, thinking that Merlin was being mysterious; some stood up half-believing and half-doubting; and some simply remained seated, unmoved.

But in the end, they couldn't resist their curiosity and looked back.

Just then, they saw their parents walking in from the entrance in an orderly manner.

This scene made the students who were originally sitting unable to sit still. They stood up in astonishment, their faces full of disbelief, and they were shouting in their hearts: How could their parents appear here?

Even the dean of Dawn Academy and King Orlins were caught off guard by this sudden scene. They looked at each other with surprise in their eyes.

After the parents had all come to their children, Merlin spoke again with a gentle smile, "Among the teachers at Dawn Academy, every one of them is the cutest, and every one of them is a person of the highest moral character! They haven't left the campus; they've firmly stood at the podium!"

The teachers at Dawn Academy were stunned for a moment when they heard this. When they heard Merlin praising them, they all nodded in satisfaction. This was really well said.

"They insist on being with students, and they firmly believe in working hard for more students. Students, do you know what makes your teachers happiest?"

Merlin paused and smiled, "What makes them happiest is that ten, twenty, thirty, or even longer years from now, when they are old and gray, they will see the communication crystals and the outstanding magicians, excellent alchemists, and other outstanding beings mentioned in the Azer Arcane Newspaper, and proudly say that this person was a student in my class back then, and was the best student!"

"All teachers hope that you will succeed. All teachers hope that you will become the pride of your parents, the pillars of your country, and the driving force behind the future of Aize Continent!"

Merlin's passionate speech stunned everyone present. The teachers of Chenxi Academy below the stage had complicated expressions, but when they looked at Merlin, they no longer had so much disgust in their hearts.

When the parents heard what Merlin said, they all said to their children, "Merlin said it very well."

"Teachers are great, but everyone, please calm down and think carefully. When did you first come into contact with magic? And who was your first teacher? Was it the instructor at Dawn Academy? Or an elder in your family? Actually, none of them. Please think carefully about who introduced you to the sacred temple of magic? Who became your first teacher in life, truly educating you, guiding you, and accompanying you through the initial stages of your life?"

Merlin paused briefly, his gaze sweeping across everyone. Seeing the thoughtful expressions on everyone's faces, he continued, "I think you already have the answer in your hearts. That's right, it's the person you're thinking of—your parents!"

"Think carefully, everyone. From the moment you were born, your parents have given you meticulous care."

"On the path of learning magic, they may not have professional magical knowledge to impart, but they gave you life, gave you all their love, created the conditions for you to learn magic, and silently supported you every step of the way. They worked tirelessly day and night, just to help you thrive and go further and further on the path of magic. Parents are the greatest people in this world. Their love is selfless and asks nothing in return."

Una, Stacy, Scarlett and others who were sitting behind Merlin looked at each other. Arthur couldn't help but applaud softly when he heard what Merlin said, saying, "That's very well said."

Angelica, Belinda, Carlisle, Ed and others also nodded in agreement.

Conan looked at his father, Baron Famion, and thought that it was his father who taught him how to hold a sword for the first time.

Merlin looked at the audience with an increasingly sincere expression as he continued, "The greatness of our parents goes far beyond giving us life and initial guidance. When we encounter setbacks on the path of learning magic, feel discouraged, and even begin to doubt ourselves, who is by our side, gently comforting us and giving us the courage to stand up again? It's our parents! With their warm embrace, they dispel the haze in our hearts, and with their firm eyes, they tell us, 'You can do it.'

"Their love is so deep, so selfless, like the eternally burning flame in the magical world, illuminating every step we take and warming our hearts. No matter where we go, no matter what difficulties we encounter, this love will always be there, never leaving us. So, classmates, how can we not be grateful? How can we not cherish this most precious emotion in the world?"

After Merlin finished speaking, he looked at the students in the audience, who were already deeply moved, and laughed inwardly. That's right, let these natives of the other world taste the power of gratitude education! Haha!
