The large number of species and great individual differences have always been the advantages of orcs.
It's just that in the process of evolution over tens of millions of years, everyone has come to accept that orcs of the same race must have the same characteristics. Even orcs of different races are becoming more and more similar.
They gradually learned to hide their characteristics and gradually blend into the group...
They are also gradually losing their own advantages and specialties.
Originally, after entering middle school, students’ ethnicity would be given more consideration when dividing classes.
Height is only one of the criteria. Besides academic performance, other factors that are considered more important when dividing classes are… The school will try its best to put students of the same race into the same class.
However, in today's prosperous interstellar era, the new generation of young orcs have begun to emphasize their own individuality and characteristics.
They refuse to be labeled by race.
Herbivores don't want to be told that they have to be gentle, and carnivores don't want to admit that they are necessarily violent.
The leaders of the planet also began to think about whether they should pay more attention to the individual differences among the orcs.
But there are so many types of orcs, and many inconvenient things do happen between different races.
To this end, education experts from Capital University proposed a trial method:
Random division.
Mu Le, who heard Booker talk about this, said: "…"
It really is a "very scientific" way of classification.
Although this method is fair, it really tests the teacher's teaching ability.
To put it simply.
The original teaching plan was to roughly divide the students into groups and teach them according to their aptitude.
In order to prevent being labeled, we now simply do not make any distinctions, allowing teachers to observe the characteristics of each student themselves and then teach them according to their aptitude.
After hearing this, the teachers all wanted to beat the students.
Of course, this plan cannot be implemented all at once.
Experts don't give up so easily. A hypothesis must be tested first to know whether it is correct.
They chose the Capital Middle School with the best educational conditions and temporarily opened a special class for first graders.
This so-called special class will recruit up to 20 primary school students.
In addition to elementary school students who normally advance from seventh grade to first grade of junior high school, elementary school students of other age groups and those who are particularly talented are also accepted.
The main requirements are: have a special skill, and the special direction is different.
The Capital University Affiliated High School will provide this class with the best educational resources. At the same time, all events during this academic year will be recorded and serve as experimental data for the implementation and improvement of future teaching plans.
It is both a specialty class and an experimental class.
Of course, Gu Mingyuan would not explain so much to Mu Le.
He skipped the complicated process and told Mu Le the result.
Gu Mingyuan believes in the educational level of the affiliated high school.
He would not admit that the main problem was that the affiliated high school was close to Capital University.
Even though school had started over there and no matter how busy he was at the institute, he still had time to eat with Mu Le every day, not missing three meals a day.
After listening to this, Mu Le touched the back of his head and asked Gu Mingyuan: "Can I consider it?"
Gu Mingyuan was already thinking about what route he should take to get from Capital University to the gate of the affiliated high school as quickly as possible to pick up his children after school for dinner.
He remained calm on the surface and nodded expressionlessly: "Yeah."
Mu Le returned to his room alone, hid in the bathroom, called Booker out, and asked him to help look up the information about this special class.
After all, she only did five papers, so she should be in the fifth grade at most.
And she only did four of the interstellar language test papers...
It was only after asking Booker that Mu Le found out the origin of the special classes.
It was also at this time that I realized that the test paper was not representative of the first grade.
By the fifth math test paper, there are already questions from the first and even second grade of middle school.
Mu Le: “…”
No wonder she felt that the difficulty of the test paper was not at the level of an elementary school student.
She thought that in the interstellar age, the math requirements for elementary school students were much higher than on Earth...
Mu Le originally wanted to skip to a higher grade because he felt that the first grade was too noisy.
Places like special classes sound like a mixture of problem children, with all kinds of wonderful kids competing to bloom.
Maybe even noisier than those first grade kids
…but she thought about it again.
Capital University, the best institution of higher learning in the empire.
The Affiliated High School is right next to Capital University, and its education level is also top-notch in the empire.
A school of this level promises to provide the best teaching staff.
That weird class, oh no, the special class... maybe there really is something interesting in it
Ever since arriving at Gu Mingyuan's house, Mu Le has been just eating and waiting to die.
Anyway, let's drink while we can, and everything will work out when the time comes.
But after attending elementary school, I met so many weird orc children, and experienced a baby elephant looking at me and I burst into tears, a crocodile approached me and invited me to his home, I laughed at a peacock's math level and instigated him to cheat on homework, and so on and so forth...
Mu Le became more and more interested in the life in this world.
How should I put it? It's like...
More involved.
She made up her mind and went to find Gu Mingyuan after coming out of the bathroom.
It was getting late, and Kong Yu'an was still sitting in their home's study, diligently working on his summer homework.
Gu Mingyuan's work had come to an end. He was sitting on the sofa in the living room, thinking about tonight's menu.
In the past, he would just eat the set meal automatically recommended by the butler.
After having Mule, I would think about the menu every day, make choices in the set meal, and make a few extra dishes that Mule likes.
There is a little boy in the house today.
Although his opinion was not included in the reference, I still had to order an extra omnivore middle school student meal for him.
After Gu Mingyuan ordered the dishes, he looked up and saw Mu Le walking down from the second floor.
The steps of their house were not very high, but it was still a little dangerous for a child of Mu Le's size. Gu Mingyuan had already input instructions to the housekeeper robot.
Mu Le was seen walking down the stairs carefully, holding the railing, with a butler robot following behind her. Two slender mechanical arms were erected behind her, ready to ensure Mu Le's safety at any time in case of an accident.
Mu Le took one step at a time.
Gu Mingyuan stared at her and gradually frowned.
He noticed that the kid wasn't wearing slippers, not even floor socks.
The house is indeed not cold and the floor is always kept at a constant temperature.
Without raising a child or anything, it’s hard to understand this “I think she’ll be cold” type of thinking.
Gu Mingyuan stood up and walked over, picked up Mu Le from the stairs, and carried him all the way to the living room.
As he walked, he called the butler robot to get a pair of small socks.
Mu Le: “…”
She sat on the sofa and swung her legs, watching their tall and mighty breeder squat down in front of her, kneel on one knee, and put her little feet on his thigh.
Then he took a furry little sock from the robot behind him.
He put it on her feet clumsily.
Mu Le bit her lip and looked at him eagerly.
I was really touched.
One of her feet was put into a sock and then released, and the other foot was held again.
"Yuanyuan." Mu Le shook his little feet in socks and stretched out his arm to touch his horn. "I want to go to school."
The dragon horns are actually quite nice to touch.
Very smooth, yet with a little bit of texture.
Gu Mingyuan paused.
… This human cub actually called out his name.
He put on the remaining sock and looked up at Mu Le's face: "Do you like school?"
"I like it." Mu Le was finally able to say this sincerely this time, "School is interesting, classmates are interesting, homework is simple and interesting."
…Yes, as long as the homework stays simple.
She will continue to like school.
Kong Yu'an, who had just finished his homework and came down from upstairs: "… "
This kid is really scary.
She actually likes school! She also said the homework is easy and fun!
"… Brother Gu." Kong Yu'an said to Gu Mingyuan, "Sorry to bother you. I'll go back after I finish my homework."
Gu Mingyuan stood up: "I'll take you home after dinner."
Kong Yu'an took a half step back: "Don't bother, I can go back by myself."
"Eat." Gu Mingyuan held out his hand to him. "Give me your homework. Your brother said he would help you check it."
Kong Yu’an: “…”
He was wrong.
When he saw Gu Mingyuan just now, he actually thought for a moment that the other party had become more talkative than before.
What a fatal illusion.
…
Dinner time.
The horrified human child and the persecuted peacock boy sat face to face and ate.
Gu Mingyuan sat next to Mu Le, drinking coffee and checking Kong Yu'an's summer homework.
It is the teacher's job to mark homework. He just checks whether Kong Yu'an has finished the homework or filled it in randomly.
Even so, seeing this careless child making so many low-level mistakes, Gu Mingyuan still frowned as he watched.
The wrinkles were so severe that Kong Yu'an was terrified even when eating.
What made him even more angry was the child next to Gu Mingyuan.
She would occasionally peek over, and then she would start to smile with her lips pursed as she saw something.
Kong Yu'an was so angry that he ate an extra bowl of coarse grain rice.
Gu Mingyuan patted Mu Le's head very gently and said, "Eat well."
Mu Le immediately covered his head with his left hand, looking aggrieved as if he was hurt by the slap.
Kong Yuan: “…”
He felt that if that hit him on the head, he would not feel anything at all.
--That's Gu Mingyuan, one slap from him might be enough to kill him.
Why is this kid still feeling aggrieved
What was even more terrifying was that Gu Mingyuan actually laughed, and then rubbed the child's hair.
Kong Yu’an: “… … …”
It's so scary.
Kong Yu'an finished his meal in fear, and Gu Mingyuan saw him out.
Their family lives upstairs from Kong Hean's house, and Kong Hean's house is very close to Gu Mingyuan's house.
Kong Hean and Gu Mingyuan have been neighbors since childhood. They went to school together, grew up together, and later joined the army together.
Because of this relationship, even though Kong Yu'an had rarely spoken to Gu Mingyuan, he often heard Gu Mingyuan's name from his cousin.
He has been afraid of Gu Mingyuan since he was a child.
Not just him.
Most orcs would be afraid.
But Kong Hean always said that Gu Mingyuan was a good person.
Kong Yu'an glanced at Gu Mingyuan furtively.
Gu Mingyuan suddenly stopped and raised his chin to signal Kong Yu'an: "We're here."
Kong Yu'an quickly came back to his senses.
While hesitating whether to invite Gu Mingyuan into the house for a cup of tea, he walked to the door of his house to open the iris lock.
Then I heard a voice behind me.
"When Lele goes to school from now on," Gu Mingyuan said, "stay away from her."
He spoke so softly that it seemed as if he would be blown away by the wind.
After saying this, he turned and left.
Kong Yu'an stared at his back: "..."
… … Gu Mingyuan, is he really a good person
