Chapter 2975 Extra 23 Speech on the Establishment of the Fringe Academy
———Speaker: Yao Xiaomi
Ladies and gentlemen, dear professors from the First University, as well as other faculty and classmates, as well as guests from the alliance and outside the domain, good afternoon.
I am very happy to be here today, representing the North District of Beta Town, representing the Centaur Tribe, Minotao Tribe, and Giant Tribe, representing the Linzhong Lake Fishman Tribe, representing the Huizhi Tribe, representing the new rat tribe and the ancient gypsy witch group, representing the marginal groups of thousands of wizards, and making their own voices.
This is a occasion of multiple pride.
From today on, the wizards on the edge of the alliance can proudly announce that they have their own colleges in the First University; the First University can proudly announce that they will not give up any of the future of the alliance; the Alliance can also proudly announce that this is an era of unity, a great era, and an era full of hope.
Here, first of all, we would like to thank Ms. Colma de Gini.
A young witch, adhering to pure and firm beliefs, overcomes many difficulties, tries to make a group of children curled up on the edge of the wizarding world truly master magic, and tries to send them to the first university to receive the most orthodox magic education. This is a task that sounds unusual and almost impossible to accomplish.
But she did it in the end.
Her beliefs were like a seed, spreading among wizard groups one after another, constantly growing and growing, gradually gathering the beliefs of all marginal wizards, and eventually growing into a towering tree, helping all marginal wizards climb from the ground to the sky.
This is her victory.
It is also a victory for the No. 1 university.
You should know that there are thousands of young wizards in our world. Not every young wizard has outstanding talents, extraordinary wisdom, pious beliefs or fearless courage. Not every young wizard can become a great wizard or even a legend, but every young man will have his own brilliant moment like the sun.
But when we look up at the sky, we will see that every day the sun rises from the edge of the world and then sets on the edge of the world.
To this world, each of us wizards is a marginal person.
The great wizard Nelson once said that education is the most powerful magic, and you can use it to change the world. I like this sentence very much because it accurately describes the relationship between innate and acquired, just like the question asked by Sir Francis Bordeaux, a magic philosopher in Great Britain in the nineteenth century: Is magic controlling us, or do we control magic?
Today, we can answer him loudly, and we control magic. Magic is a gift we unexpectedly gain when exploring the truth of the world. We cannot choose our origin and bloodline, nor can we determine the environment in which we grow, but our pursuit of truth can be the same.
This simple but pure belief closely links each of us with this world. While promoting the development of the world, it also leaves traces of our past existence in this world bit by bit.
Each of us is the narrator of our own life, and each of us can decide whether to create a legend of our own.
Just like our Miss Colma.
In addition, another part of the Fringe College is that it is this newly established college that upholds the consistent and excellent tradition of teaching and non-discrimination in the First University.
It has made amazing achievements in bringing the most advanced magic knowledge to marginal groups and promoting magic innovation and interracial collaboration mechanisms. It fully proves that education is the cornerstone of the operation of our world. It truly changes the future of our world by shaping young minds. Its establishment is nothing more than erecting a high lighthouse on the vast sea of turbulent waves. Its impact is not only limited to magic education for some marginal groups, but also on improving the geopolitics of the entire wizard.
We hope that the establishment of the Fringe College can continue to create endogenous impetus for the development of marginal groups in the wizard world; we hope that the First University’s support for the Fringe College can benefit the wider marginal wizard group in addition to the students of the Fringe College; we also hope that all wizards outside the First University, inside and outside the Alliance will continue to provide more necessary tools and provide richer magic resources for the exploration and development of the Fringe College.
Development requires sacrifice.
Whether it is the development of a new world or the development of a new magic field.
Just like the weeds spreading towards the desolation on the edge of the silent forest, they are desperate and longing for it, so ordinary, yet so extraordinary.
We always believe that whether a collective is prosperous is never the height of mainstream culture, but whether marginal people also have the right to survive.
The birth of the Fringe Academy can break the circle culture that has long plagued the spread of knowledge in the wizard world, break the barriers between different races, promote the further development of social fairness and justice, and ensure that the door of opportunity is open to more souls who yearn for magic.
These visions coincide with the ideas pursued by Jiuyou Academy and Alpha Academy.
I have no doubt that the birth of the new college will leave an indelible mark on the long river of time and destiny.
I also have no doubt that it takes more effort and price to truly realize our vision.
To borrow the words of a dead wizard, we insist on establishing this academy not because it is easy, but because it is difficult.
But we did it anyway.
Because we believe that the following truth is self-evident: all are born equal, and they are all given certain untransferable rights by their Creator, including both the right to life, the right to freedom, and the right to pursue knowledge and happiness.
Once the seeds of equality are planted, they are not controlled by anyone.
Once the free buds sprout, they will bloom with brilliant vitality.
The sweet rain of faith will thrive on the saplings.
The courage of struggle will prompt it to bravely stretch its branches and leaves and welcome the lightning and thunder falling from the sky.
In the Gospel of Matthew, the sages once said to their disciples, "What you do for the most insignificant of you is for me." Each of us is the most insignificant person in the wizarding world."
This is the best comfort for all the people on the fringe who have nowhere to rest in the future and hope.
Finally, let us sincerely welcome the young wizards who are about to join the First University with warm applause! We would like to express our sincere thanks to the unknown principal, Vice President Ruoyu, Vice President Emma and Ms. Shi Hui who firmly support the marginal groups! We would like to express our best wishes to the upcoming Fringe College.
Receive the blessings from heaven and bless your life!
