Big Capitalist

Chapter 205 Credit System

The teachers present had different expressions when they heard Merlin's "arrogant" speech, and the atmosphere in the meeting hall suddenly became subtle. The deans of the six major colleges all turned their heads to look at Merlin, with different emotions in their eyes.

Baker Monroe, the dean of the Beastmaster Academy, was a tall and strong man. He slapped his thigh with a loud sound and then laughed out loud: "Haha, I like this kid!" His laughter was like the sound of a clear bell, hitting everyone's eardrums, with a bold breath, as if cheering for Merlin's frankness.

However, there are those who like it and those who don't. Wendell Clemens, the dean of the Fighting Academy, frowned slightly, a hint of disdain appeared on his face, and he stared at Merlin coldly, obviously quite disgusted with this kind of jumpy student.

Merlin glanced in the direction of the student council members, then nodded to Yuna. Yuna and other student council members immediately stood up, took out a large number of paper documents from their space rings, and quickly distributed them to all the teachers present.

"All the teachers, please hold on to the documents in your hands." Merlin said loudly, holding a document as thick as a brick, his eyes firm and confident. "I'm sure everyone here knows about the fair movement that has been making a lot of noise in the Arcane Academy recently. This incident has brought a very bad impact to our Arcane Academy, mainly because of the strong dissatisfaction with the unfair treatment of students in the school."

"What's wrong with that?" Wendell Clemens snorted coldly, his tone showing obvious disdain. "You get what you put in. Don't the students understand this?"

Merlin stared at the dean of the fighting academy and sneered in his heart. He knew that Wendel was born into a noble family, had been well-dressed and well-fed since childhood, and had never encountered any setbacks. He seemed to be the protagonist of a Long Aotian novel, and easily sat on the position of dean of the fighting academy.

In Wendel's opinion, it is normal for aristocratic students to spend money lavishly, while students from poor families can only blame themselves for their lack of ability.

"Contribution?" Merlin retorted bluntly, "I didn't see any real contribution. All I saw was using the family's resources to get a better life in the Arcane Academy. What kind of contribution is that?"

Wendell Clemens's face darkened instantly. He didn't like being contradicted, especially by a young boy. He sneered, "Those who have received preferential treatment in the academy have paid enough gold coins. What's wrong with relying on the family? If you are jealous, why don't you pay the same gold coins?"

Merlin showed no weakness. "Dean Wendell, what the hell are you talking about?"

When Wendell Clemens heard Merlin's words, he instantly became furious, his face suddenly darkened, and the magic power in his body was suddenly released. The terrifying magic power swept across the entire venue, and the oppression was suffocating. Merlin felt a strong pressure, but he did not retreat, but became more determined.

At this moment, Vice Principal Jenny raised her hand and directly dispelled the magic released by Wendell Clemens, and said calmly and seriously: "Wendell, you've gone too far!"

"I went too far? Ha!" Wendell pointed at Merlin and said angrily, "How dare a student talk to me like that? Who went too far?"

Vice Principal Jenny glanced at Merlin again, with a hint of warning in her tone: "Merlin, be careful with your words."

Merlin shrugged indifferently, not caring at all: "Pay attention? What should I pay attention to? Isn't what Dean Wendel said bullshit? Not everyone has a good family background like Dean Wendel, which helps him to have a smooth journey."

Merlin's voice echoed in the conference room, attracting everyone's attention. He continued, "The Arcane Academy is a holy place of learning. It is a place for students to study, gain knowledge, and change their destiny. It is not a tavern, guesthouse, or nursery. It is ridiculous to think that you can get a preferential life by relying on the resources behind your family and enough gold coins! It would be better to only recruit noble students!"

As soon as these words came out, the entire conference room fell silent, and all the teachers were thinking about Merlin's words. Agatha Morton, the dean of the School of Arts, looked at Merlin with interest and smiled slightly: "So, Merlin, since you said that there is a problem with the basic system of the college, do you have a better solution?"

Merlin stared at Agatha with disdain in his eyes. "To be honest, I'm very disappointed with you deans. Logically, you should be the ones to think about and solve this kind of thing. Otherwise, what are you guys doing as the management of the academy? You all just guard your own academy, following an old, obsolete system that should have been eliminated long ago, day after day, year after year. It's no exaggeration to say that you are incompetent!"

These words made the teachers, branch deans and Vice President Jenny present a little angry and furious. They worked hard and conscientiously to maintain the operation of the college and educate students, but they were called incompetent by a young boy. They were very upset.

"How dare you!" Baker Monroe, the dean of the Beast Taming Academy, slammed the table, staring at Merlin with his amber eyes, sparks of challenge flashing in his eyes. Merlin stared back at him, unwilling to be outdone, and a fighting spirit ignited in his heart, as if at this moment, the conflict between him and the entire academy could no longer be avoided.

Harrington was in a good mood. He raised his hand and said, "Merlin, don't just talk the talk and don't do anything. You said we follow the old system year after year, but do you have a new system in your hands?"

Merlin wondered if he had asked Professor Harrington to act as a stingray. He nodded affirmatively and said, holding a brick-thick document, "Yes, I have it! Please look through the document in your hands. It contains the new system I want to reform - the credit system of the Arcane Academy!"

Credit system? Vice Principal Jenny looked at the document in her hand, and then listened to Merlin begin to explain what the credit system was.

Merlin said to all the teachers, "In the Arcane Academy, credits are not only a tool to measure students' learning achievements, but also the main standard for the allocation of resources within the academy. Credits are the academy's advanced currency unit and run through students' entire academic career. Students earn credits through classroom learning, practical tasks, test scores, and participation in various activities. Credits can be used to exchange for academy resources, improve personal status, obtain preferential treatment from the academy, etc."

"From now on, the Arcane Academy will suppress the role of gold coins to the minimum, and the era of credit supremacy begins!"

"If you want to have a superior status in the Arcane Academy and enjoy more advanced resources, then go and get credits! Credits will determine everything for students!"
