Time, late August.

Location, twenty miles away from downtown London, the small town of Windsor, on the Thames, across the river Windsor, Eton College.

A gray-haired but well-dressed old man was sitting behind a mahogany desk, wearing gold-framed glasses, and a thoughtful smile on his lips, reading a copy.

This is the first time Williams has been so concerned about a single girl since Eton University began to recruit female students last year.

King Alice, a Chinese-American girl, can be said to be inconsistent with the style of Eton College from her national identity. In fact, looking at the history of Eton College, style mismatch has occurred at least twice, and every Etonian is very clear about its process.

Eton College is an ancient institution founded by Henry VI in 1440. It is famous for its elite cradle and gentleman culture. It is also known for its strict militarization management. Most of its students have excellent grades and are recognized as the best middle school in the UK. It is also a place for training for elites in the British royal family, political and economic circles.

This school is called Public School, but it is actually a private middle school. The original intention of Henry VI to name it Public School was to provide free education for poor students so that poor children can also enter the school, and then serve as a preparatory school for King's College at Cambridge University. It can be said that this is the original Eaton and the purest Eaton.

However, just two hundred years later, by the 17th century, Eton College gradually became the most famous aristocratic school in Britain. Because the noble children were proud to be able to enter this school, they rushed to enroll, forming a noble atmosphere, and the common people were out of reach, causing the school to gradually become a school with strict hierarchy and open to the noble children.

This can be said to be the first change and also a change in line with the historical process. Every Etonian faces the behavior of his ancestors who betrayed the founder's purpose with a calm attitude. Because, it is precisely because of this calm attitude that when the pace of the development of the times becomes faster and faster, Eton also makes the most appropriate changes, so that he will not be lost in the trend of the times.

Eaton used to be a noble school, and children of aristocratic families had to register after they were born. But now, especially after the end of World War II, there were very few nobles left in the school, and the so-called "noble" has actually become a synonym for the "expensive family". If in the past era, the admission of aristocrats relied on the advantages of the nobles themselves, and the common people were out of reach. However, in the country, the world's economy is booming, and the tuition fee of 20,000 British pounds per year is nothing.

Although people in the world often regard British aristocrats as stubborn and stubbornly sticking to tradition, in fact, in many aspects, they have been quietly and invisibly following the times. Just like the existence of the royal family, from the Magna Carta to the constitutional monarchy, although in the eyes of a purely democratic country, this may still be a representative of backwardness and tradition sticking to tradition. But since they can stand tall in the world as a powerful country, they will naturally not make mediocre people think.

So, as time moved towards the 1980s, the third round of changes in Eton College was born.

"Alice"

Just as Williams murmured the name, the knock sounded, and he raised his head and helped his glasses: "Please come in."

The door to the principal's office opened and a blond black-eyed man walked into the room.

In fact, it is a man, which makes people somewhat doubt, because although he has an Adam's apple, his facial contour is really smooth and round, and his figure is not very strong, but has a softness that tends to be feminine.

After entering the house, he said politely: "Principal, please look for me."

Williams smiled slightly and handed Alice's article to the man: "Evan, look at the child's profile."

Evan took him directly without doubting him.

"King Alice."

He raised his eyebrows slightly.

The girl who will be fifteen years old at the beginning of next year is the age to start high school. Although she has only been instructor for three years, Ewendlov has already read too many. He has long learned from what kind of files a student who is about to go to high school should have, and has long learned from it.

For example, if you worked as a school newspaper reporter in junior high school or performed outstandingly at debates, some parents would also make the first-class deeds of sports meet. Of course, the most common performances of ordinary club activities, as well as non-punitive community volunteers, and some thirteen or fourteen-year-old boys can do their best, such as mowing lawns for their neighbors.

But King Alice didn't write these things at all.

In fact, the content she wrote was very concise, and compared to what many parents taught their children, she described the chapters that expressed their deeds more wonderfully. Her sentences were simply simple statements.

For example, the first one.

"On December 12, 1980, I promoted Apple shares to my family, bought original shares worth $50,000, and earned $350,000 in the closing of the day."

For example, the second one.

"On May 10, 1984, the Internet hardware product router was successfully developed."

Then follow the registration date of Cisco Systems, and then the fourth item, about writing a book called Jurassic Park.

Of course, the compilation of ns10 also appeared below the list unexpectedly.

From the objective perspective of a documentary, the expression of declarative sentences, and the refined words as defined by Cihai, the long list is densely packed at a glance.

Evan was silent and then spoke: "It turns out that this lady is coming to our school. It is reasonable. A genius like her will not let go of the opportunity to study at Eton School."

After saying that, he respectfully put the file back to his desk: "So Mr. Principal, what is your purpose in finding me?"

“This kid chose your virology as an elective.”

Williams said gently: "I'm not sure what would be the consequences of having a girl like her devoted to the scientific research field, and it was a virus, such a very sensitive topic. Evan, I know how high your virology attainments are, so I want to ask you about this girl, what might she be thinking?"

Ewendlov smiled slightly: "You are really ruining me. Principal, Miss Wang and I don't know each other. I am not a psychology expert. How can I guess her heart by relying on a file?"

"This girl is actually quite interesting."

Obviously, I was really thinking of something interesting. Williams shook his head and smiled and said, "Ivy, my former lover. I was not surprised at all. But I didn't expect that Alice actually had some relationship with Ivy. Not only did she put herself on her recommendation list, but she even brought two other girls. Do you think it's interesting or not?"

“That’s of course very interesting.”

Evan replied indifferently, but then he became confused: "The other two girls, and this Ashley, Mr. Principal, won't they all choose my virology as an elective course, right?"

"Hahaha, that's not."

Williams waved his hand and said, "It's just Alice and Ashley, but Evan, I noticed that among the 250 freshmen in this year, there are only two of them who choose virology as an elective. You, I'm afraid you've been busy in the past few years."

So, finally living up to Williams' expectations, Evan frowned in dissatisfaction.

But there is no way, this is the teaching system of Eton.

In Eaton, there is never a one-size-fits-all "fast and slow classes". Eaton has classes, but it is not divided into classes in general according to grades. Instead, each subject is divided into different classes, and each class will not exceed 20 students. A student may be assigned mathematics to classes that require more tutoring, but French classes can be studied in classes. It is Eaton's purpose to equip different teachers and teaching methods according to each person's characteristics, so that they can be excellent in all aspects.

Then, like many high schools and universities, there are elective courses. However, Eaton, as one of the world's top middle schools, its elective courses will naturally not be ordinary content, such as choosing one between Spanish, French and German, which is almost a bad street.

Virology is an elective course taught by Ewendlov, and even in Eaton, a school that always adheres to small-class teaching, his total number of students has never exceeded ten. You know, the entire school is 12 to 18 years old, and there are 250 students in each grade!

Of course, this may have something to do with his arrival in Eton for only three years. Compared with many seniors who taught in this century-old school many years ago, he still has little publicity for his subjects, not to mention that the virus is indeed an unpopular subject.

The current situation is that there are thousands of people in the school, and there are not more than ten students. And two high school girls who were admitted to the ninth and tenth grades together have to choose his class directly?

"I don't agree!"

Evan said firmly: "They probably just looked at the course list and thought the course of virus seemed cool, so they just chose it casually. Virus research is different from ordinary biochemical experiments. Two girls who have never mentioned their own experience in experimental practice in the archives. I don't want to be nannies for them!"

Williams sighed slightly, and he guessed that it would be the result.

"Evan, I decided not to go so quickly. I know Ashley very well. She has a strong hands-on ability and has long been a fashion designer with some achievements. Alice is even more a genius. Even if you want to object, at least you have to meet them first, right?" To be continued.
