Atlas of Heaven and Man

#38 - Back to school

After the off-road vehicle left the old camp, it soon merged onto the main road. Chen Chuan looked back and said, "That place seemed to be a military camp originally?"

Wei Chang'an said, "That's right. It was a guard post left over from the Great Frontier Era. Guo the Fatty occupied it, and now no one cares about it. Most of the Bloodscar Gang leaders huddle together in the city. Only Guo the Fatty doesn't get along well with the gang and is willing to hang out outside the city."

Chen Chuan pondered for a moment. Qiu Huizi's illegal drugs all came from the Central City, and the national highway here leads directly to the Central City. No one would believe there's no connection between the two.

Wei Chang'an said, "Not bad, Junior. Clean and efficient. That kick, tsk tsk. To be honest, even I, your Senior Wei, might not be able to withstand it. Don't worry, I, your Senior Wei, will record it truthfully. If I don't give you an excellent evaluation in your academic assessment, I'm not human."

Chen Chuan thought for a moment and said, "Senior Wei, just now you said that if the evaluation is high enough, I can get a certificate. What's this certificate all about? I don't remember seeing it in the admission notice."

Wei Chang'an said, "Ah, that's originally your advisor's business, but I'll tell you about it first. You saw that everyone in the Bloodscar Gang carries weapons, but have you ever thought about why we didn't bring anything today when we came here?

The reason I, your Senior Wei, didn't bring anything is because I'm here today as a client and it's not appropriate to bring such things. As for why I didn't find you a weapon, it's because Wuyi's students are generally not allowed to carry weapons outside. Here, you must take a weapon permit test, so you can legally carry weapons anywhere, including small-caliber pistols and rifles. However, firearms are strictly controlled, and every time you use them, you have to report it, which is very troublesome. But carrying cold weapons is no problem.

This permit can only be obtained at Wuda and is useful for a lifetime, not only in our Da Shun Republic but is also recognized worldwide.

Although some local areas also allow carrying weapons, it is only useful locally. Once you leave the area, unless you communicate in advance and obtain a limited-term temporary permit, you are not allowed to carry them, and there are other implications here, which are very troublesome.

In addition, there are many other useful certificates that rely on these assigned tasks to increase your evaluation, such as the 'Armored Certificate.' This is even harder to obtain, and you can wear protective clothing of a specified level. At that time, ordinary firearms will be almost useless against you.

There is a saying that 'with weapons and armor, anything is possible,' meaning that for a fighter like us, with armor and weapons, it is difficult to find a normal way to restrain us."

Chen Chuan thought that if he could get a weapon permit, or even an armored certificate, that would indeed be great, greatly increasing his survival rate. Putting aside other things, if he had protective clothing, the pebble that took his predecessor's life would not be such a threat to him.

He asked, "Are there many external assignments like this? Wuda has so many students every year, I'm afraid they can handle anything, right?"

Wei Chang'an looked at Chen Chuan, "Junior, you still don't understand your current identity. You should get used to it sooner. What do you think the students who passed the re-examination are? Have you been to the academy? Do you know that martial arts hall? It's behind the auditorium, on the same line."

Chen Chuan said, "I saw it once. It's very beautiful and quite big."

Wei Chang'an said, "That martial arts hall was built five years ago with huge investment from various donations. It can accommodate two thousand students to compete in the arena together. However, that is the stage for B-level students. In the future, they will win honor and fame through arena matches and fighting competitions, or serve as security personnel in various departments.

What about us? What the higher-ups want us to do is to manage and restrain them, and suppress them when necessary, to become the cornerstone of maintaining the stability of this country and even the world. Therefore, only we, A-level students, can do those external assignments and get certificates!"

He smiled, "Of course, if you are interested in further studies, you can continue to study at the school and become a teacher. Then you may have the opportunity to be recommended to the main academy to learn more advanced fighting knowledge. If you are good enough, you may have the opportunity to enter the Central City."

Chen Chuan said, "Since the higher-ups are so wary of students with martial power, why do they still expand enrollment every year?"

Wei Chang'an said, "It's the trend of the times." He glanced at the rearview mirror, made a turn, and said with a smile, "You will understand later."

Seeing that he was being cryptic, Chen Chuan didn't press him. He said again, "Senior Wei mentioned the Central City. In our Wuyi, are there any teachers from the Central City?"

"Yes, but only to teach recommended students, and not just any recommended students. Only those who are truly qualified and talented will be taught. Moreover, this teacher doesn't stay for long each year, and we rarely see them.

What? Are you interested in the Central City? I understand. I, your Senior Wei, have also thought about it, but... it's difficult! The recommendation quotas each year are given by the upper echelons of the academy, and most people are selected from those recommended students. But it's always good to have dreams, but remember..."

He slowed down the car a little, turned his head, and said seriously, "There are strict boundaries between the students in the school. Students of what level do what kind of things and achieve what kind of achievements. Recommended students do the things of recommended students, and A-level students do the things of A-level students. You must abide by the rules, so you won't be afraid of doing wrong things, otherwise..."

Speaking of this, there was a hint of melancholy in his eyes, and he shook his head again, saying, "Just remember these words."

Chen Chuan didn't ask any more questions.

Wei Chang'an drove the car directly to the Yangzhi City Patrol Bureau in Ding'an District, dragged Qiu Huizi out, and took him in. After a while, he came back, handed Chen Chuan three forms, "Come, sign here, sign all three."

Chen Chuan took it and saw that it was a completion report.

It basically described the process of today, in great detail, explaining everything clearly, elaborating on what the two people did, and describing it very objectively.

At the end, in the executor column, Wei Chang'an's signature was in front, and there was a blank space left behind.

After Chen Chuan read it, he also signed his name behind it.

Wei Chang'an waited for him to sign, took it over, went to the Patrol Bureau again, and quickly turned back, giving him a stamped copy, saying, "Alright, keep this one for yourself and keep it safe. The Patrol Bureau will send a copy of the attachment to the school later, which will ensure a good addition to your academic evaluation. By the way, remember to get a personal seal in the future, and open a personal account when you have time. I will transfer the money to you then, so you don't have to make another trip."

Chen Chuan folded the form and put it away, smiling, "What, you're still giving money?"

Wei Chang'an laughed and said, "You didn't think you were working for free, did you? All assigned tasks come with money, or why would I say I'm bringing you along? As for how much you get, I won't let you suffer anyway. By the way, it's almost noon. I'll take you to a good place to eat, and then take you back to school in the afternoon?"

Chen Chuan said, "Don't bother, Senior Wei. It's the first day of school today. I'd better go back to school early and eat in the Wuyi cafeteria."

"Hmm?" Wei Chang'an was bending over to look at the mud on the car body, and looked up when he heard the words.

Chen Chuan smiled and said, "Throw away the mop that Captain Wei hid." After saying that, he turned and walked into the building.

Wei Chang'an's expression stiffened, and then he smiled again, "This kid." He shook his head, got into the car, backed up, drove away from here, and came to the administrative office building.

After getting out of the car, he went directly to the fifth floor, found the recruitment office, knocked on the door, and Bian Feng behind the desk glanced and said, "Come in."

Wei Chang'an walked in and put the written form on the table.

Bian Feng picked it up and said, "Handled it well?"

"Yes, Teacher Bian, this kid is really good." Wei Chang'an couldn't help but praise, "But why assign him a task on the first day of school? Are you in such a hurry? Don't tell me it's just because this matter is related to him."

Bian Feng looked through the form, put it down, and looked up and said, "Just in case. If someone frees up their hands after today, they may use various reasons to hold him back, and he can only shrink back in the school for half a semester, unable to go anywhere." He shook the form in his hand, "With this, it will be much better, and we can give him more support."

Wei Chang'an understood.

When assigning tasks, most of the time the client requires the students who come out to cooperate to have experience. Without this, others will not choose you.

You must know that there are many students at the same time. If someone takes a step ahead of you, you will fall behind step by step. It is not difficult to operate here. If you find an excuse to block you, you will have nothing to say.

When others make progress, you can only watch from behind.

Moreover, he also saw the deeper intentions of the school management. The more times students interact with the various departments of the Civil Affairs Bureau and even the various clients, the better their resume, the more rewards, and the easier it is to get scholarships, which makes it less easy for people to manipulate them financially.

If the success rate of assigned tasks is high, then all parties will win over and pursue them. After all, no one will go against money. With the help of the school, a network of contacts will be spread inside and outside the school. These invisible things can sometimes help a lot, and even if someone wants to move, they have to weigh it.

Thinking of this, he became serious and said, "Chen Chuan is, after all, from our Patrol Bureau. Teacher Bian, promise me, don't push him to that position. I really don't want to see the scene of the student two years ago again."

Bian Feng was silent for a moment before saying, "We have all learned from the mistakes of two years ago and will not make them again."
