Qin Shi's Mental Resonance spread across the void, catching the faintest ripple, washed over by the passage of time yet still lingering after all these years.
The Inner Scenery shuddered violently and shifted, revealing two indistinct figures.
"A Yue, I heard a little from Xiao Wang about your time at Yunan School. Your grades in military courses are excellent, and you're doing well in general studies, languages, and practical weapons training. The only class you failed was politics."
The man in the military greatcoat had a deep, resonant voice, like a bronze bell ringing straight through the heart.
The deputy marshal, rumored to be domineering and stubborn, was remarkably meek in front of his elder brother.
He only grunted twice, then lowered his head and said:
"I think those teachers are wrong."
The brim of the man's hat hid his face, revealing only his resolute jaw.
With his hands clasped behind his back, he stood like a towering mountain peak, as if he had been born to be the center of the world.
"The teachers, instructors, and department heads at Yunan Military Academy are all the finest talents in Eastern Xia.
You've only been in school a few years, and you already dare to speak so brazenly?"
The man's tone gave no hint of anger or approval, yet it exerted immense pressure.
"The political science teacher thinks the Ancient Dongxia Empire was backward, with a backward system. But that 'backward' civilization ruled over half the galaxy and illuminated a corner of the star sea. Big Brother, I believe that once extraordinary paths have been laid as their foundation, no system is inherently superior. It all depends on whether those in power are strong or weak..."
At first, the young deputy marshal spoke at length, giving voice to all his thoughts.
