In the headmaster's room on the second floor of Bikong College, the headmaster with light gray eyes was leaning against the window. A group of energetic students came from a distance, joking and laughing.
"When I was young, I saw an alien from a distant galaxy," the principal said lazily, "his eyes are crystal clear blue, as if they were filled with the whole ocean, which is unforgettable. ."
The corner of the principal's mouth rose slightly as he recalled the pleasant past, "I once told him that you must have the most beautiful eyes on your planet, but guess what he said?"
The other person in the room didn't talk, but the principal didn't seem to need him to pick up anything, so he continued, "He said that in his hometown, everyone has eyes of different colors, emerald green, Amber-like red, glass-like gold... Although I can't see that scene with my own eyes, I think it's beautiful just by imagining it."
The group of students got closer again, and their facial features became clearer. They had different looks and different statures, but their eyes were full of soot.
There are so many magnificent colors in the world, but they are unified into the least eye-catching one. Part of all the spectrum was greedily absorbed, and the rest was mixed into a misty gray and reflected out, dyeing the entire pupil.
"In comparison, how monotonous the colors of our planet are," said the principal with emotion.
Not far behind him, stood the dean who was much taller than him. His eyes were as black as ink, and it seemed that even the light could not escape here, but such a deep pupil color was also reduced to the headmaster's mouth. One of the monotone colors.
The director quietly shifted his gaze from the students at the bottom of the building to the principal's profile. Although this person often talked about youth and memories, his appearance and body were almost the same as those of the students in this college. Looking at the eyes, it is difficult to tell his actual age.
Here is the star of the planet Celestia, where people's eyes have only three colors and are also important identifying features. Most of the students of Bikong Academy, regardless of gender, have smoky gray eyes that are exclusively for minors, and only a few of them have changed their pupil color, which means that they have awakened from a baby state to an adult. Soon it doesn't belong here.
The people of this planet are neither young nor old. They come to the world in a very special way. After a long period of sleep, they wake up as teenagers. They are born with the ability to survive, don't have to be a toddler, don't have to babble, and even retain the most basic memories of survival in reincarnation from generation to generation.
They have no father, no mother, no brothers or sisters, all are created equal, and there is no distinction between status and status. In their infancy, all adults share the responsibility of raising them, allowing minors to spend the enlightenment stage of life in elementary colleges like Bikong. After completing the adulthood ceremony, it will develop into an adult again, and then maintain the appearance of adulthood until the next sleep.
This is Tiansu people, there is no birth, and there is no real death. They have lived on this planet for thousands of years.
"These students are in the tenth grade, right?" The principal watched them pass by one by one. Because it is impossible to judge the age from the height or appearance, the educators here have generally developed the ability to remember.
The director glanced lightly, and quickly locked on a few targets, "Yes, most of them are in their infant state for about nine to ten years, which is the peak period of awakening."
"It would be good if we could spend the awakening period without any worries," the principal tapped his fingers on the glass, "I don't want to repeat the tragedy of the past, should we send a gentle person to this year's physical health education? Woolen cloth… "
The students who just passed by here are now in groups of threes and twos, talking about the just-concluded physical fitness test.
"I heard that two people in our grade scored 300 points in this physical test. Is it really that strong?"
"Who else? It must be Ling Xiao and Ying Feng, I bet."
"Guess who of the two has higher grades?"
"I guess it's Ling Xiao."
"It must be Ying Feng. Although Ling Xiao is also very strong, he is still slightly inferior to Ying Feng..."
The classmates were discussing enthusiastically, not knowing that not far behind, one of the parties they mentioned was walking.
Ling Xiao had a cold face. Everyone's test results were sent directly from the host computer to the private terminal. Others didn't know it, but the instructor hinted to him after the test that although his results were good, he was still not the best in this class. good grade.
And there is only one person in the same class who can surpass him, and that is Ying Feng.
Ying Feng and he woke up within half an hour one after another, and the two were assigned to study at Bikong Academy at the same time. They have been in the same class since the first grade, and it has been ten years now. They have almost all the prerequisites to become friends, but because of Ling Xiao's aggressiveness and Ying Feng's indifference, they are still strangers.
Ying Feng is slightly better than Ling Xiao in almost all projects, but this is enough to make Ling Xiao Wannian second. The only thing that can bring him back his face is that his height is three or two centimeters higher than Ying Feng, which has become the only victory he has achieved against the opponent in the past ten years.
"Why do you look so stinky?" Lan Sheng, one of his best friends, came up and hooked him by the neck, "Let me guess, who did you lose to that again?"
Pingzong, who was walking on the other side, gave him an elbow lightly, meaning why did he speak so bluntly
"What are you afraid of? Our little Lingxiao is the best at turning grief into strength. This little failure can't hit him at all, right?"
"Of course," Ling Xiao was aroused by his words again. "The instructor said that I was only two points behind his grades. With a little effort, I can surpass him."
Lan Sheng aimed at him and punched him in the chest, "That's necessary, I'm optimistic about you."
The three returned to the classroom together, and until they entered the door, Ling Xiao was still bickering with Lan Sheng, "Also, I'm older than you, don't call me little Ling Xiao."
"You only woke up half a year earlier than me, not to mention the age of the baby stage doesn't mean anything."
"You're so confident that I won't grow up earlier than you?"
"Hahaha it's up to you."
The two of them chatted happily, and soon more boys joined in. There was chatter in the classroom. When Ying Feng appeared at the door, only Ling Xiao noticed.
Ying Feng's seat was located in the last row of the classroom, and he was bound to pass by Ling Xiao's group. When he passed by, Ling Xiao, who had been standing half leaning on the desk, suddenly stood up straight, raised his chin, and congratulated him in a tone that could not be heard as a compliment.
"congratulations."
Ying Feng didn't turn his face, coldly glanced at Ling Xiao, who was trying to make himself look tall, and walked over without saying a word. The classmates around have known for a long time that the two are not in harmony, and at this moment, they are habitually opening and closing one eye as if they did not see it.
Seeing that the other party completely ignored him again, Ling Xiao's anger suddenly rose in his heart.
"Sooner or later, one day, I want, I want..." Ling Xiao thought of the most vile and cruel words that a baby boy could think of, "I want to take the blood from his heart and make him mine. Qizi, obey me all your life!"
Ling Xiao's rhetoric was like dropping an atomic bomb in the classroom, which shocked the whole class. In the minds of these young people, the coming-of-age ceremony is a very vague concept, although many people are about to face awakening. , but the relationship between adults is still an extremely mysterious existence for them.
All their knowledge of adult things comes from vulgar readings that they obtained secretly, and in those unpopular descriptions, Qizi is simply a slave-like existence at the mercy of the owner, who has no ability to resist. It can be seen that Ling Xiao In the ears of a group of immature infants, it seems so outrageous and bold.
"Haha," someone smiled awkwardly after a long cold session, "Ling Xiao, you really dare to think and speak."
Once the deadlock was broken, a group of people immediately hopped in agreement, like an adolescent child accidentally discussing pornographic jokes.
"Hey, I heard the teacher of the equipment department say yesterday," Lan Sheng suddenly lowered his voice mysteriously, and the others immediately gathered into a group, "said that he was done four times a night, and his legs were all broken when he went to work. Soft."
"Isn't it?" Some people exclaimed, others laughed strangely, "Why did he say this?"
"It's true, I heard him complaining to his deed master using the communicator. There was no one else in the office at that time, and I only heard it from secretly hiding at the door."
Once the forbidden door is opened, it will not be closed easily, "Then what else did he say?"
"I don't know, I just heard this, I was afraid of being discovered by him, so I hurried away."
"Cut," everyone despised him collectively, and the great opportunity to spy on the adult world was thus obliterated.
Ling Xiao snorted disdainfully, "What is four times a night, when I become someone's deed master, seven times a night, so that he can't get out of bed for three days." After speaking, he also pointedly towards a certain person. Glancing at the person's seat, the other person raised his head in a rare way, and their eyes met briefly.
There was a burst of wow wow wow wow wow in the group of boys, and the voices like cheering for you were one after another.
As soon as Yaotai Fang entered the classroom, he just heard Ling Xiao's arrogant remarks, and cursed in his heart.
This group of ignorant boys, even before the hair grows below, dare to speak madly. Compared with mental health education, the baby who takes the lead is more suitable to be tied up and smoked, so that it will be honest.
She stepped onto the podium with her high heels. When the classmates saw the teacher coming, they all dispersed and went back to their seats.
Yaotai has a proud figure that is rare in this academy, and her eyes are also deep black. Many students call her Queen Yao behind her back. Strictly speaking, she is not actually a teacher of the academy.
Sure enough, as soon as she stood at the desk, some students raised their hands to ask questions.
"Doctor Yao, are you taking the class today?"
The school health doctor Yaotai raised his arms, "From today onwards, the tenth grade students will have a physical health course, and I will be the tutor of this course. If you have any questions in this regard, you can ask me. ."
Physiology class? The eyes of the students lit up, but no one dared to raise their hands to ask questions.
"What? No problem? Didn't everyone have a heated discussion just now?"
Knowing that they had been caught, several of the boys who had just been teasing scratched the back of their heads in embarrassment.
Yaotai no longer went into detail with them, turned around and drew two human silhouettes on the induction board. From the lines and curves, it was obvious that they were a man and a woman.
"As everyone knows, we Celestials are different from many other species in the universe. The reproduction method is a very rare asexual reproduction. There are only two stages in our life, the embryonic stage and the adult stage, which is why we have a unique set of Age is calculated."
"You," she pointed to a student in the front row, "how old are you this year?"
"Nine years as a baby." The other party replied fluently.
"Very well, I am eighty-seven years old this year, how much older am I than you?"
"This..." The students who were asked could not answer.
"You should answer, I don't know." Yaotai continued, "The length of each person's baby stage is different. The earliest one completed the adult ceremony in four years, and some people grew up to eighteen years. Still no awakening, but these are special cases."
"More than 80% of Tiansu people will reach sexual maturity in the tenth year after waking up, which means—" She deliberately lengthened the ending, and glanced at each student's face in turn, " There are quite a large number of everyone sitting here, and I am afraid that they will soon usher in their sexual awakening period."
The thin-skinned girl started to blush when she heard this, but Yaotai continued without changing her face, "Although we reproduce asexually and don't have to mate for reproduction like other species, it doesn't mean we don't have physical desires. We The main purpose of mating is to complete secondary development and evolve into a true adult."
Yaotai talks about the knowledge that students want to know the most but don't know the most.
However, Yaotai changed the topic, as if to quench the curiosity of the students, and introduced the folk customs of other planets.
"Many of our neighbors, and even those distant galaxies, have very different social structures from ours, and the most obvious difference is that they have families. Everyone may be born into a different family - some people , who were born in a rich family and enjoyed all the glory and wealth; some people were born in a slum and lived in poverty all their lives. They were born with a gap in status and wealth, and enjoyed completely unfair treatment.”
"Their lives, from the very beginning, are unequal, with distinctions between the high and the low, the high and the low. Even if a person can change his situation through acquired efforts, the starting point and the reason for the efforts of people and people are the same. There is also a huge difference in the degree of need. Between them, the only thing that is equal, I am afraid that no one can choose their own origin. "
Yaotai’s words opened the door to new world cognition. For the first time, the students heard that after someone woke up—in fact, they were born, but they didn’t have the concept of being born—they were forcibly divided into three, six, nine, and so on. It was an eye-opener. At the same time, I feel extremely happy.
Yaotai guessed what they were thinking at this time, and said it in one sentence.
"In contrast, we Celestials are all equal, and can enjoy the same material treatment after waking up, receive public medical education, and have equal political rights. This is a unique existence unmatched by any galaxy. ."
Hearing this, some classmates have already straightened their backs proudly.
"However," Yaotai completely shattered the pride they had just built up, "if you think that we are a race that values equality and pursues human rights so much, then you are very wrong."
"It is precisely because of the inertia that innate equality is easy to develop that our requirements for acquired efforts are more stringent. Tiansu people have the cruelest hierarchy in the entire universe, that is—"
She clapped her hand on the whiteboard, "Master-slave relationship between spouses!"
