The night passed quietly, the train moved steadily on the track, making a rhythmic sound, and the golden light shone through the undrawn curtains, gently caressing Theresa's face.

Her eyelids trembled slightly, as if touched by the sudden warmth.

"Dazzling...ha~"

Theresa slowly woke up. The strong light made her squint her eyes subconsciously and yawn lazily.

He stretched his arms slowly, and his body stretched lazily like a cat waking up, and all the muscles and bones in his body were stretched at this moment.

The world that was originally blurred under the cover of night was now illuminated by the morning sun, presenting a brand new scene.

"Great!"

She had not seen much of the world, but her eyes lit up instantly. She couldn't wait to get up and almost instantly stuck to the window, staring at the scenery outside without blinking.

In an instant, the carriage turned black, but the darkness did not last long before it became bright again.

Just as Theresa was still puzzled by this sudden change, a voice was heard outside the door.

"We've passed through the canyon and through the cave. This means we're about to reach the country of Seville."

The voice sounded a little low, and then a conductor knocked gently on the door.

"Miss, you must be tired after the long journey. Here is a breakfast for you." The conductor's voice was polite and a little gentle.

"Thank you!"

Theresa heard the sound and quickly stood up and opened the door for the conductor.

The conductor was wearing a neat uniform, with a professional smile on his face, and holding the tray steadily in both hands.

Theresa also stretched out her hands to take the plate. The simple rice porridge with side dishes on the plate exuded a faint fragrance. The rice porridge was cooked just right and the thickness was just right. The side dishes looked very fresh and crisp.

In such an early morning, it is undoubtedly the best choice in the morning.

The conductor continued, "Miss, you possess a remarkable aura. Every gesture exudes a unique elegance and confidence. And judging by your attire and demeanor, you seem to have a noble purpose. I'd venture a guess. Could it be that you're going to Frost Rin Academy?"

"That's right," Theresa replied succinctly.

"But hasn't the academy over there already started classes?"

The conductor's eyes rolled around, as if he was making some calculations in his mind, and at the same time he quickly thought of how to make some profit from it.

"Miss, do you want to hear some of the unspoken rules of the academy over there..."

The conductor suddenly lowered his voice and leaned over to speak into Theresa's ear. His warm breath gently brushed past Theresa's ear, carrying a mysterious feeling.

Unspoken rules...?

You really have to listen to it. After all, you are new here and know very little about the college you are about to attend. This may be of some help to your future life in the college.

A hint of curiosity flashed in her golden eyes, and then she nodded slightly, signaling the conductor to continue.

"Ahem!" The conductor cleared his throat. "Don't be fooled by the strict admissions process at that academy. The assessment process is incredibly complex, and many students are rejected during the entrance exam. But once you're in, the learning experience is very flexible. You can pretty much choose the courses you want to take, or even choose not to take them at all."

Huh? That's pretty freeing.

"But... this depends on one major premise, which is strength. If you're strong and have a strong background, you can basically walk all over the academy. There, it's common for students to be dissatisfied and beat up teachers."

The conductor stretched out a finger and tapped the air lightly to emphasize the point.

"So, the teachers here are all top-notch. In order to maintain their dignity in front of the students, they also need to maintain high-intensity training so as not to be looked down upon by the students. After all, in that place, if a teacher is easily defeated by a student, it is a very shameful thing. Not only will they lose face in the academy, but it may even affect their entire teaching career."

Hiss...it sounds a bit chaotic in there?

"Not chaotic?" Theresa frowned slightly and asked with some confusion.

"Chaos? No, no, no, miss, don't misunderstand me by describing it that way. The order within the academy is still very complete. There is a set of rules that everyone follows silently. The atmosphere there is too free, and the development directions of each student vary greatly. At this time, it all depends on your own self-discipline, which determines your bottom line.

The conductor quickly waved his hand and explained with a smile, "In the academy, everyone cherishes this atmosphere of freedom. At least no one gets expelled for causing trouble. Everyone knows that once those fundamental rules are violated, the cost of losing this freedom is very high. So although it seems loose, there is actually an invisible force maintaining the overall balance."

Oh, so it seems that this is a free-range teaching method, just like sowing seeds in a field and letting them grow freely without too much deliberate pruning and restraint.

This will indeed arouse people's competitive spirit. Everyone is like a small flame that has been ignited, eager to burn more vigorously and eager to stand out among the many freely growing plants.

So, either you act in a high-profile manner until the end, or remain unknown until the end. It seems that this approach is not very friendly to yourself.

Seeing the conductor still standing straight in front of her, Theresa couldn't help but look up slightly. She originally thought that he had something important to add.

The conductor was standing there, rubbing his fingers together seemingly casually.

This subtle movement made Theresa understand his intention instantly.

It turns out that he said so much just to ask for a tip.

The information provided by the conductor was indeed useful, so she felt relieved and thought about giving him some tips.

Theresa originally wanted to take out a hundred-dollar bill from her wallet as a tip, but when it came to money transactions, she felt that she should consider her own identity and image more, at least to earn some face.

After a brief hesitation, Theresa finally pulled out three hundred-dollar bills from her wallet and handed them to the conductor. The conductor's eyes lit up when he saw the three hundred-dollar tip.

With a broad smile on his face, he quickly performed a standard gentleman's salute and said gratefully, "Thank you for your generosity, young lady. I hope my explanation will be helpful to you. I believe that after this breakfast, we will reach our destination."

After saying this, the conductor left with a contented and happy pace.

Tsk, how could I not be happy? I gave him a tip of three hundred yuan at once.

Theresa looked out the window and saw that she could already see scattered houses and buildings outside.

This means we are getting closer to our destination.
