In Ultra Academy, annual roundtable meetings are held two to four times a year, which can be regarded as the most important decision-making meeting of the academy during non-emergency periods.
The fixed venue for the meeting is the fully enclosed venue in the central area of ??Ultra Academy that can accommodate up to 23,000 people at the same time.
In normal times, it is a well-equipped indoor sports and fitness venue. In addition to regular competitions and practices, it can also be rented out to students for use during large gatherings.
In fact, since the leaders of all levels of Ultra's forces are accustomed to giving inflammatory rally speeches to their supporters here, almost 80% of them have shaken the entire Ultra since the founding of Ultra Academy. Special Academy, major events with far-reaching influence, are all related to this oval building called the 'Egg of Aiolos'.
The reason why the name of Fengshen is used is because from here, the wind of the times often blows that changes the direction of the entire school. Whether that's a breeze or a hurricane, it's going to have an impact.
??At a certain time in the four months of February, June, August and December every year, a giant white walnut oval table will rise in the center of the venue, which can seat hundreds of people at the same time. The review was composed of influential figures such as student representatives who were elected through internal voting coordination among the major forces in the academy, key members of the Teachers' Federation, and top chaebol executives who invested a large amount of external funds in the Ultra Academy business district Members of the club will sit down at the table.
And all issues such as the improvement of the academy's financial policy, the general allocation of the semester budget of various clubs, disputes between powerful groups, and the punishment of crimes that seriously violate the academy's basic law, etc., must also be discussed at this round table. And hope for a peaceful solution.
???Every person who is qualified as a member of the Senate and is able to attend the annual roundtable meeting that year will undoubtedly be regarded as the person of the year in Ultra Academy that year and attract the attention of all parties.
Attending the meeting that day on behalf of the Third Discipline Supervision Committee were the Chairman of the Supervisory Committee, Ming Yuexing, and her five senior assistants, including Carter Merris, as well as the special adviser of the Third Discipline Supervision Committee. Ouyang Yang, the president of the Natural History Research Society, has almost the same power as Ming Yuexing in the affairs of the Three Winds Supervisory Committee.
Harry Wright, another president of the Research Society, although he also serves as a consultant to the Third Wind Supervisory Committee, declined the honor of Yuexing¡¯s invitation to attend the meeting purely because he did not have any class schedule for the first week. Zi Tong'er, who came to join in the fun, sat in the auditorium together.
Nangong Xue didn¡¯t show up this afternoon because she had something to do and couldn¡¯t be distracted. As for the last president of the Natural History Research Society, you certainly can't expect him to appear on such an occasion.
The meeting has not started yet, and no one is sitting in front of the long oval table. Except for a few members of the annual round table meeting who are not disturbed in the special lounge below, most of them are scattered in the audience that surrounds the venue in a stepped manner. On the table. Ouyang Yang and Yuexing also sat with Zitong and Harry, observing the other members attending the meeting.
Although the Basic Law of Ultra Academy expressly stipulates that any such decision-making meeting. Every relevant person within the Ultra Academy system has the right to observe. But in fact, because the entire content and all resolutions of the meeting will be announced on the academy intranet on the same day, every major decision and change will inevitably cause extensive follow-up reports by the relevant media of Ultra Academy. Students at the school Except for departments related to the media, not many people would be interested in attending the roundtable meeting.
Therefore, almost everyone present is related to the top leaders of the major forces in the academy. This is why Zi Tong was so surprised when she saw someone who looked very similar to Liu Changfeng, who took advantage of her last semester, at the meeting.
"Yang, look at that person. Why does he look like thatthat person?" Zi Tong, who was sitting in the standard orange leather chair at the venue, pushed Ouyang Yang beside him.
"Which person?" Ouyang Yang, who had been sighing in his seat since just now, reluctantly cheered up and asked after being forcibly recommended by Ming Yuexing, the chairman of the Third Wind Supervisory Committee, to attend this meeting.
"That's that person. That" Zi Tong said anxiously as he grabbed Yang's arm.
"Oh, that's the one you're talking about. That Liu" Ouyang Yang said, looking in the direction of Zi Tong'er's finger.
"That's right! That's the person!" Zi Tong hurriedly interrupted Yang. She was so disgusted with Liu Changfeng that she didn't even want to hear his name.
"Haha, Xiaotong, don't worry, this person won't be the one you mentioned. If that person had such a demeanor, he wouldn't do such dirty things." Narrowing his eyes, After carefully looking at the people sitting across from each other across the central venue, Ouyang Yang smiled and said to Zi Tong, "You seeThe guy who arrived is definitely a big shot. "
"Yang is right," Yuexing, who was sitting on the other side of Zitong, said, "Xiaotong, the person you see today is Mr. Xie Fei, one of the nine chairman of the Standing Council of the Teachers' Federation. "
"What does the chairman do?" Zi Tong, who had almost no concern for the distribution of power in the academy, asked casually.
"A single chairman does not have any special status." If Ouyang Yang had asked the question just now, Yuexing's reaction would probably have been to just roll his eyes, but for any question raised by Zi Tong'er, Yuexing would not Willing to answer for her.
Yuexing could never forget Zi Tong¡¯s tired expression after helping Shadow Fang pass the exam more than a month ago. During the three days of preparing for the exam, although Zi Tong often quarreled with Yang, she never complained about Shadow Fang and Yuexing. After the exam, Zi Tong'er, who looked tired, gave Yuexing, who was feeling uneasy, the brightest smile and a victory gesture, then returned to her room, fell down on the bed, and fell asleep. a whole day.
Since then, although Yuexing has never expressed any gratitude to Zi Tong verbally, she has made up her mind in her heart to fulfill any wish she wants to achieve for Zi Tong.
"However, one of the nine chairmen of the Standing Council of the Ultra Academy Teachers' Federation is the principal of Ultra Academy." Yuexing explained.
"That's right. After hearing what you said, Yuexing, I remembered that I had never known who the principal of this academy was." Zi Tong said.
"Except for a very few people, no one knows the true identity of the principal of Ultra Academy. The identity of the principal of Ultra Academy has always been classified as top secret. But if you are interested, I can go back and think about it. I can help you check." Yuexing said.
"How could I have such interest." Zi Tong wrinkled her nose and made a face.
"Actually, since I entered Ultra Academy, I have never seen the principal of Ultra Academy issue any specific orders in his personal capacity. As for the role and specific authority of the principal in Ultra Academy, it can be said They are also the seven unsolvable mysteries in our school. Therefore, the principal's status is the same as yours. You don't need to pay too much attention to him." Yuexing joked quietly in Zi Tong's ear.
Yuexing is right. In Ultra Academy, the authority of the principal of Ultra Academy has always been unclear. Because ever since Ultra Academy developed into one of the few comprehensive schools on the planet Acapov, freedom and democracy have always been its greatest feature. The absolute power of individuals and minority groups has always been severely limited.
Take the current roundtable as an example. Although the Teachers Federation representing Ott officials accounts for nearly half of the seats, it almost controls the decision-making power from a practical level. However, the Federation of Teachers did not dare to ignore the voices of any student representatives who attended the meeting. Even if the government has more than half of the seats in the decision-making meeting, it cannot.
Because the students with the overall numerical advantage hold the biggest trump card. When absolutely necessary, they can
Launch a referendum.
Since the founding of Ultra Academy, in the earliest days when there were laws to follow, all its public wealth was not concentrated in one person or a small group of special forces. On the contrary, Article 1 of the Basic Law of the Academy clearly stipulates that the 400,000 students studying in Ultra Academy have the same property ownership as the 150,000 administrative teaching staff controlled by the Academy Teachers Federation.
In other words, once the teachers' union makes a decision that greatly harms the interests of current students, it will force the students to initiate the final referendum process. Then, the foundation of the entire academy may be shaken by this.
This is also the main reason why Yuexing holds a high position of authority even though he is only the president of the Third Wind Supervisory Committee.
"Yuexing, we are not far from the student union president, Ad Hunter, who gave you flowers at your last farewell. What do those people sitting in the corner over there do? Why do they all look so cold? Look like? They are dragging each other to the tune of fifty to seventy thousand, as if everyone here owes them a lot of money?" Putting Liu Changfeng's matter aside, Zi Tong quietly pointed to the tens number opposite to her left hand. humane.
"Those people, they are members of the Ability User Research Association." After hearing Zi Tong'er's words, Yuexing, who always maintained a cool image in public places, couldn't help but laugh.
"Are those with special abilities great?" Although Zi Tong can be regarded as a person with special abilities. But her abilities were all shared by their clan, so Zi Tong never felt that she was anything special.
"Because it is the only organization in Ultra Academy with espers as its main members. Therefore, although the esper research association has little influence in handling the daily affairs of the academy,Big, but with many privileges. Yuexing, who suppressed her smile and quickly returned to normal, said to Zi Tong.
"What is even more worthy of attention is that the two consecutive presidents of the esper research association have received the highest B+ in the ability assessment of Ultra Academy." Yuexing specifically told this sentence. Ouyang Yang on the side listened.
"B+, is b+ very powerful? Yuexing, what's your level?" Ouyang Yang, who was sitting aside, had no reaction, but Zi Tong'er looked curious.
"I, my level is also B+." Yuexing responded. In fact, as the president of the Third Wind Supervisory Committee, Pluto Star has the same level of power as the president of the esper research association, which is quite famous in Ultra Academy. Yuexing's ability to successfully take over the Third Discipline Inspection Committee established by her brother without letting too many people gossip largely depended on this fact.
"But" After hesitating for a moment, Yuexing continued, "That is already my maximum limit. Because the interference force field that our largest simulated interference room in Ultra Academy can only produce reaches B, so I can get it They have the same evaluation qualifications as them. However, I think whether it is the current president Lu Pingfan or the former president Ben Roger who has graduated and left, they all have the strength above this."
"It's probably A-level." Yuexing glanced at Ouyang Yang and said.
"Or super-limited level!" Seeing Ouyang Yang still acting like it had nothing to do with him, Yuexing added this angrily.
"That's why they look so arrogant?" Zi Tong said.
"Things are not what you think, Xiaotong." Yuexing corrected, barely suppressing his anger towards Ouyang Yang, "Actually, they are not always like this. If we change the time and place, many of them would People are also very easy to get along with." As if to prove Yuexing's words, one of those people with short hair that was the standard for summer in the academy turned his head to Yuexing and smiled.
"Then why are they looking like this now?" Seeing that the other party seemed to be able to hear her from such a long distance, Zi Tong said in a much lower voice than before.
"This to be honest, I don't know. A single ability user may be normal, but when multiple ability users gather together, it will become more or less weird. Some experts have studied that it is because the potential fields of ability users interfere with each other. Generally speaking, ability users will keep a certain distance from each other. This can explain why the Super Power Research Association can only gather less than 60% of the ability users in the entire Ultra Academy." Use the same low Voice, Yuexing said.
"Is this the main reason why, Miss Yuexing, you have a prejudice against me? Because we are both capable?" Ouyang Yang on the side smiled when he heard Yuexing's words.
"That's not the main reason." There was a moment of silence
