Chapter 294: Student Apox
"Thank you, teacher, you have made us full of confidence in the kingdom!" a student said loudly in convincingly.
Almost all the students applauded and expressed their gratitude for Ansitanos' wonderful answer.
Some people even shouted: "Teacher, you should talk to all the students in the college about your analysis."
"Aren't you there?" Ansitanos smiled and encouraged the students to promote his views.
A voice suddenly sounded in the student group: "Teacher Ansitanos, according to the analysis method you just mentioned, is Thebes also becoming a young man? Is it possible that it will defeat Sparta and become the new overlord of Greece?"
Not only Ansitanos, but other students also looked in surprise, speaking with a boy who looked less than thirteen years old.
Ansitanos was more surprised than other students, because he had really not considered the question raised by the other party, so he asked with interest: "Apox, why do you think so?"
"Teacher." Apox stood up, bowed and saluted, facing the curious eyes of the crowd, and replied seriously: "I read some information about the war in Central Greece. After the Thebes drove away the Spartans, they established a new democratic government, which not only mobilized all the people of Thebes, but also attracted citizens of the surrounding small city-states. They united and formed a large number of troops, fighting very bravely, and actually resisted the attack of the Spartan army.
The new Thebes government still has the spare time to send troops to help other city-states in the Piosha area, drive away the Spartan garrison and help them gain independence, such as Thespia. The city-states that received help will naturally be more closely connected with Thebes...
It has been more than half a year since the war broke out. The Spartans not only failed to re-occupate Thebes, but instead made the Thebes more active. They led the local people to fight against the Spartans in various places in Piosha, and were not at a disadvantage... This situation is not just like what teacher you said just now. The new government of Thebes is united and enterprising. The people of Thebes are full of vitality and dare to fight, like a growing young man. However, the Greek overlord Sparta has been slow and clumsy in his current performance, and has no previous aura, and is more like a middle-aged and elderly person... Teacher Ansitanos, do you think I analyzed it correctly?"
The students were all very surprised. They could not believe that such a clear and considerable analysis actually came from a young man.
Ansitanos knew that King Davers had a very smart child who performed very well in the Turiy School adjacent to the Dionia College, but he did not expect that he would say such insightful words, and his eyes looked at the boy became brighter.
"I have never thought about Thebes seriously." Ansitanos replied calmly: "Your analysis has given me great inspiration. It seems that I will really have a good understanding of Thebes in the future. This will definitely be of great help to the kingdom to handle Greek affairs in the future. However, according to the situation you just described, although Thebes showed signs of rising, it has just gained independence, has not yet fully integrated the power of the Piosha region, and does not have the power to become a young man. Moreover, it has been attacked by the Spartans again and is likely to die halfway... Of course, if it can survive this war safely, it may have time to become a terrible force."
Speaking of this, Ansitanos looked up at the sky again, and then said to the students: "Today's class will end here. We will continue to class in two days. Finally, let us thank Apox for lending me a lot of information about Egypt. Today you can hear more detailed Egyptian history taught by me."
As a student who is still studying in the advanced class of Turiy School, Apox actually does not have the right to listen to classes at Dionia College. It was because Ansitanos borrowed these materials that he took the opportunity to make a request for listening to the class that he obtained the charter of Ansitanos.
The students all expressed their gratitude to Apox and did not underestimate him because he was just a teenager.
And Apox is like an adult who is neither humble nor arrogant in his gifts.
Ansitanos saw it and admired it even more.
After class, the students scattered, Ansitanos called Apox and asked with a smile: "Which college are you going to go to after graduating from Turiyi School?"
Every year, schools in cities in Dionya will report outstanding graduates to Dionya College. King Davers, the highest head of Dionya Academy, and the heads and vice presidents of various colleges under its subordinates, will conduct preliminary selection of outstanding students who will enter Dionya College colleges to further further their studies based on the students' grades and performance and their own wishes, and then notify them of written examinations and interviews. Therefore, students who can enter the academy are the best talents in the Kingdom.
Ansitanos knew Apox and knew that even without relying on his father's help, this intelligent teenager could easily enter the school.
The clever Apox understood Ansitanos's intention to ask this and became hesitant: "I like history, but I also like mathematics."
Ansitanos, who was calm by nature, felt a little headache when he heard this: Mentotic Els, as the dean of the School of Mathematics, is ten times smarter than Martycoris who only knows how to do research. Apox is so outstanding and his majesty's parent-child. I'm afraid this guy has already set his sights on him. If he is not sad, it will be difficult for him to compete!
He looked at Apox, who was young but intelligent and calm, and he really liked it in his heart. He couldn't help but say, "Since that's the case, you can study at the school's Literature and Mathematics School at the same time."
"Is this OK?" Apox was surprised.
"As long as you can guarantee that you can perform well in both fields, why not! Like Pythagoras, a famous scholar in Tarantum, he not only created the famous school of mathematics, but also had great ideas in philosophy, music, art, etc. And scholars like him who are proficient in multiple fields are not uncommon in Mediterranean countries. I believe you can do it too!..." Ansitanos encouraged him in a temptation manner.
"Teacher, I'll go back and think about it." Apox was a little moved.
"You are welcome to listen to the class in two days." Ansitanos emphasized at the end.
Apox left the school and did not return to school. Because it was already past the end of school, he walked straight south.
There is a large tidal flat between the south of the school and the Krati River. It was converted into multiple courts by the Turiyi City Hall a few years ago. It is mainly for the children of Turiyi School to exercise and become their favorite place after school.
By the time Apox arrived, the stadiums were already filled with students and the entire area was shrouded in noisy vocals and cheers.
Watching the other children running happily on the field, the blood in Apox's body began to boil, and he accelerated his pace toward the middle ground.
"Briantes, pass the ball quickly! Pass it to me!" An extremely high female voice passed through the noisy waves and came into her ears. Apox smiled: They were indeed here.
On the court, a boy wearing a white lining, not tall, but solid body hit his opponent, grabbed the football, and then passed it to the frontcourt with his big feet.
A girl in white in front of the court was slender, half a head taller than the opponent's defender. She stopped the ball steadily, quickly turned around and wiped the defender who was robbed, and then dunked another defender. Before the goalkeeper rushed over, she easily scored the ball into the goal.
The girl shouted and shouted excitedly, and her teammates all came up to applaud her and celebrated.
Since girls often develop earlier than boys, at this age, girls are not inferior to boys in strength and speed, but often have an advantage in height. In the relatively open social atmosphere of the Kingdom of Dionia, especially in schools, it is not uncommon for men and girls to participate in sports together, and the children of senior officials are often led by people, such as Eunice, the princess of Dionia. However, like rugby, the fierce fighting, frequent physical contact, and hugging will not be seen in the game, while football is often seen.
After celebrating the goal, the tall girl turned around and looked outside the field, waved to Apox in dissatisfaction and shouted: "Apox, you're late again!"
"Second brother, come on stage!" Briantes also shouted.
"What are you going to get on!" The tall girl glared at her eyes: "There are all full of people on the field now, what if you go on?!"
Briantes stopped talking immediately.
"It's okay, second sister, I can be a substitute." Apox said with a smile.
Eunice's face was relaxed, and she nodded and said, "You should be a substitute for a while, and then you will be replaced. Our defense depends on you. But don't be idle outside the court, help me with Nelia first."
"Nelia?" Apox is familiar with the girls Eunice has a good relationship, but the name is obviously unfamiliar.
"She is a student who has just transferred to our class." Eunice had already walked to the sidelines and whispered: "Her father is Miltias. I saw that she looked depressed all day long, so I forced her to come here. She loves reading books just like you. Go and help me enlighten her."
Eunice pointed in one direction with one hand and pushed Apox with the other.
Apox saw the girl sitting in the corner of the court, and involuntarily accelerated his pace and walked towards her, because he was thinking in his heart: Mirtias, the commander of the 4th Fleet of the Kingdom, died in Sicily not long ago. The people of Turiyi talked a lot about his death. Many people think that it was because of his negligence that the Sicily Fleet suffered heavy losses. In such a bad public opinion environment, his family might be very uncomfortable.
