Changing the education model
"One."
As Kanami counted out the last second.
With so many eyes on him, the man sitting on the left finally understood what the other person meant.
Eyes wide open, breathing rapidly.
He immediately scrambled down from the side and crawled all the way to the very back corner of the long oval table.
He was huddled on the bench, trembling all over.
"What do you mean by suddenly changing seats during a meeting?"
Kanami asked calmly.
"I... I..." The Noble was terrified, his mind racing as he tried to find a way to save his life.
But time was running out, so he spoke directly, "I'm afraid that breathing the air around you might be disrespectful to you!"
Upon hearing this, everyone around was stunned.
No, what?
Afraid of breathing in the surrounding air?
Doesn't everyone in this space breathe the same air?
Awesome!
Admire!
Many people couldn't help but look at him with admiration.
To come up with such a brilliant reason in such a critical moment is a textbook example of self-rescue.
However, many people also cast disdainful glances at it.
He actually said something so ridiculous just to save his life.
They were even afraid that breathing in the surrounding air would be disrespectful!
You're invincible, kid.
But whether it was admiration or disdain, no one said anything.
Instead, she quietly watched Kanami.
Kanami nodded slightly. "I see. Well, I'll forgive you for running around during the meeting this time, but next time I'll exterminate your entire clan!"
Upon hearing this, many people couldn't help but twitch their lips slightly.
He said that he was not allowed to call himself the Red Emperor, but in the end, he even called me me!
The man breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
"Alright, let's begin."
Kanami glanced at everyone, then looked away and spoke.
Seeing Xiao Ming knew it was his turn to speak.
He then cleared his throat and began, "This meeting contains a very important announcement."
Regarding the future development of the Shinobi World.
Everyone's expression turned grim upon hearing these words.
Sure enough, this meeting was just an opportunity to exploit us.
I knew it all along; no matter who it was, they couldn't possibly have any good intentions.
Would Kanami really do that?
Kanami shouldn't be that kind of person, right?
They all harbored resentment in their hearts.
Seeing the changes in everyone's expressions, Xiao Ming paused for a few seconds, then felt the time was right.
He continued, "It's about education."
"Educate?"
One of the Noble accidentally read it aloud.
But Kanami ignored him.
Instead, she quietly closed her eyes.
A meeting is supposed to be a meeting to discuss matters together. If no one speaks up, then just issue an order for the people below to do as they are told.
Seeing that Kanami did not stop him from doing anything.
Soon, other people with differing opinions also spoke up, "Xiao Ming Xiaoming, is there something wrong with our education model? Why does it suddenly need to be changed?"
Xiao Ming glanced at him and nodded slightly. "Our current education model is too rigid, producing graduates who are only qualified for their specific majors."
But that's the problem.
"What's the problem here? Isn't it a good thing to have someone's major match their job? It allows more people to do their jobs well."
Ninja should do what Ninja should do, Noble should do what Noble should do. Let's all work together to make this Shinobi World a better place.
Xiao Ming's lips curled slightly. "Yugong, what you say sounds nice, but when it comes to the Noble, the world will only stagnate."
Are you willing to give up everything you have now to do what Ninja should do? To put your life in danger just to get a small reward for a mission?
"I..."
Before Yugong could finish speaking, Xiao Ming interrupted, "You don't want to?"
But what if Ninja were in your position, someone like you who only needs to skim off a little of other people's profits for themselves, and then enjoys a lower risk and higher wealth than Ninja?
"What nonsense are you talking about! We are all essentially the same, working for our jobs. What's the difference between us, high and low?"
Yugong said, her face flushed.
Soon, other Noble chimed in.
"That's right, we're all doing the same job, there's no high or low status, Lord Xiao Ming, are you looking down on the Ninja profession by saying that?"
This blatant attempt to sow discord immediately turned Xiao Ming's gaze cold.
"You're saying there's no distinction between high and low, noble and common, so how about this?"
"I'll have you serve Genin for a month, then have that Genin serve as one of your Noble for a month, and see if there's any difference."
"Xiao Ming Nagato, aren't you underestimating the work of us Noble? How could a Genin possibly complete our mission?"
As soon as Yugong said this...
Many of the Jonin who had followed also Jonin slightly.
Although they knew that Xiao Ming seemed to be speaking on their behalf, even they themselves did not believe they were capable of succeeding the Noble.
Xiao Ming: "Of course, replacing a Genin is difficult, but replacing all of you Noble would be much easier."
What do you mean by that?!
Are you going to dismiss all of us Noble outright?
"If that's the case, why are you even holding this meeting?"
"Yes, why don't they just notify us directly! Hegemony!"
"I--!"
One of the Noble, seeing that things had gotten to the point, prepared to slam his fist on the table.
Just then, he felt a cold, piercing gaze fixed on him.
In an instant, his hand, which was raised in the air, froze in mid-air, hesitant to bring it down.
"The meaning is simple: you Noble can get things done because you form cliques."
By replacing you all, no one will be able to hold back the Genin). Even Genin can do the job you're doing.
"Therefore, the way we educate our children must change," Xiao Ming said earnestly.
At this moment, Kanami spoke up, "Who agrees, and who disagrees?"
Those who initially disagreed and wanted to object immediately shut their mouths after hearing Kanami's words.
They dared to speak when Kanami was silent, but once Kanami finished speaking, they dared not speak anymore.
Whoever speaks first at this moment might die.
But! There are always those who are not afraid of power!
"I..." Yugong said slowly, "I agree to change the teaching methods, but may I ask how the changed methods will be implemented?"
Under Kanami's gaze, he couldn't help but change his tough stance and adopt a gentler approach.
"It's very simple. Just merge Cultural Education and Ninja Education to form a new education system."
No sooner had Xiao Ming finished speaking than Yugong immediately objected, "That won't do! It will result in a mismatch between their major and their skills, and they might not even be able to master either skill!"
He then turned to look at Kanami, "The Lord Emperor Akashi probably wouldn't agree to this, would he?"
