Douluo's Blue Silver Family

Chapter 76 Academy Reform

Heavenly Dou Royal Academy

Today, the college held a faculty meeting, which was attended by all the teachers, including Yuan Changqing.

The main purpose of this conference was to discuss the school's student classification system, as the academy is increasingly becoming an elite institution, and the school has begun to implement reforms.

On the stage, the college's chief speaker said, "The main reason I've invited all the teachers here today is to discuss the reform of the school's student grade system. Teachers, do you have any good suggestions to make?"

One teacher asked, "Chief, isn't the current grade system good enough? Why do we need to reform it?"

The chief said, "I know everyone has questions. Dividing students by grade level used to be fine, but that was then. Now, as everyone knows, most of our students are like this, which has created a serious problem: the quality is very poor."

"Therefore, in order to change the status quo, we should provide better resources to those who need them more, so as to provide more talent for the empire."

"As for those students who are just coasting along and waiting for their diplomas, they naturally won't be able to enjoy the college's excellent resources."

"These are the key points of this reform. You teachers should all understand the reasons behind them."

From the chief's words, Yuan Changqing learned that the nobles of the Heavenly Dou Empire were now excluding commoner students from entering the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, which was causing serious problems for the fresh blood of the empire's talent pool.

Moreover, the powerful aristocratic group forced the emperor of the Heavenly Dou Empire to weigh the pros and cons, so he did not interfere much with the current situation of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy.

However, the academy's chief had to consider the academy's future and, with the emperor's tacit approval, carry out a comprehensive reform without jeopardizing the entry of nobles into the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy.

In this way, even if those nobles can enter the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, if your talent is not good, then you will not receive good resources for training.

On the other hand, resources can be concentrated on nurturing those with good talent and those admitted through special programs, thus cultivating more talent for the empire.

These problems in the college have actually existed for a long time, but they weren't too serious before. However, as time goes by, this situation will become more serious.

After various opinions were put forward, these opinions were combined to form the final reform proposal.

The chief teacher said, "Everyone, please be quiet. After considering the various opinions raised by the teachers, we have decided that starting next year, we will no longer divide students by grade level."

"From now on, we will divide people into three classes, from lowest to highest: Tianwei, Tianzhi, and Tiandou. These three classes will also be divided by age. If the age is not suitable, then we will have to rearrange them. I will explain in more detail next."

"Tianwei, as long as you are under 30 years old, we will not consider your soul power level."

"To enter the Heavenly Sovereign Class, one must be at least 18 years old and have a Soul Power level of 20 or above."

"To enter the Heavenly Battle Class, you need to be at least 12 years old and have a soul power level of 20 or above."

"So, starting next year, whether you're a new student or a returning student, you'll have to follow the current reforms. Each class should submit detailed information about each student to the school office before the holidays this year. Okay, meeting adjourned."

...

weekend.

"Catherine, the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy is going to undergo reforms." Yuan Changqing told Catherine about this at home.

Catherine asked in surprise, "Why? Why the sudden change?"

Wang Yuyan asked curiously, "Yes, I haven't heard you mention anything about what's happened at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy lately!"

Yuan Changqing sighed and said, "Catherine, you haven't been a teacher for several years, so of course you don't know the current situation of the academy. Actually, if you think about what the school was like when you were still a teacher, you can guess."

"Ah, is it because of the situation with the aristocratic students that it's that serious?"

"Yes, it's getting more and more serious. In the past, as long as you were a commoner student with good talent, it was still easy to get into the Heaven Dou Royal Academy."

"Now, it's not just a matter of talent; you also need letters of recommendation and to communicate with the school in advance, otherwise you won't even be able to get in."

Wang Yuyan exclaimed in surprise, "Oh no, don't the school leaders care?"

"Of course we have to manage it, but can we manage it all? We can't possibly guard the school gate all the time. These days, those privileged students in the school will come and cause trouble as soon as the teachers turn their backs."

Yuan Changqing added, "Therefore, the academy is determined to reform this time. If it doesn't reform, it will really become a retirement school for those aristocratic students."

"Actually, there is another problem: the school's top student can't stay in office for many more years. We're thinking of solving this problem for the next top student, otherwise, if it really becomes a retirement school, then the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy will be somewhat unworthy of its name."

Catherine said, "Is the Chief Executive retiring? It seems that this might be the real reason behind this reform. Otherwise, this problem will be difficult to solve when the next Chief Executive takes over."

"Yes, but this reform is also good. At least those commoners who can enter the Heaven Dou Royal Academy have better resources to help them grow."

"Furthermore, the academy is now divided into three levels: Tianwei, Tianzhi, and Tiandou. The academy's resources are more concentrated, and in the future, a lot of resources will definitely be allocated to the cultivation of students in the Tiandou class."

Catherine thought for a moment and said, "That's not bad either. At least this way we can cultivate a lot of talent for the empire and avoid wasting it on those useless nobles."

Yuan Changqing laughed and said, "Haha, there's nothing we can do. Even the emperor isn't in a hurry, so why should we ordinary people think so much?"

Catherine said unhappily, "The Heavenly Dou Royal Academy was originally meant to select talents for the empire, but now it has become a school for nobles. I'm a little unhappy about that."

"Alright, Catherine, what can you do even if you're unhappy? Can you change anything? Unless you become a Title Douluo and directly become the chief, then maybe those nobles won't dare to cause you any trouble, hahaha."

"Hmph, if I were a Title Douluo, I wouldn't bother with those trivial matters and waste my energy. I just feel sorry for those commoners. You know, every time we go to war with the Star Luo Empire, we lose more than we win. Isn't it just because the Soul Masters aren't strong enough? The empire doesn't know how to properly cultivate talent."

Yuan Changqing said, "You're right, those nobles are indeed quite useless. If it weren't for the Spirit Hall, the Heaven Dou Empire might not even exist anymore. But who can blame them when the royal family's strength is insufficient to suppress those nobles!"

"Indeed, the royal family's martial spirit isn't very strong. Honey, do you think this reform was tacitly approved by the royal family?"

Yuan Changqing rolled his eyes at Catherine and said, "Of course there are. Otherwise, someone would definitely have come out to stop the Chief's reforms. But those nobles aren't stupid. They know when to stop. I think that even if they don't stop it openly, they will definitely cause trouble behind the scenes."
