A light flickered in Long Hengxu's eyes.
"Dean, I believe ordinary teaching methods are no longer quite enough for geniuses of their caliber."
Yu Zhen looked at him without answering immediately.
Long Hengxu continued, "Why don't we establish a Special Class in addition to the existing five classes? We could assign the Academy's best teachers to instruct the most outstanding students in this year's First Grade."
"From the Intermediate Division through the Senior Division, they'll spend at least another eight or nine years at the Academy. With proper guidance, Eastsea Academy's future brilliance needn't be an empty promise."
A thoughtful look appeared in Yu Zhen's eyes.
He had to admit that Long Hengxu's words had moved him.
A class devoted to nurturing exceptional talent, with the Academy's finest resources concentrated on its students. If this year's new students truly grew into their potential, they could bring Eastsea Academy an entirely different level of prestige, whether in internal Academy assessments or interacademy competitions between major cities.
He had always envied the top academies in the largest cities.
They could recruit from across the entire Alliance, drawing an endless stream of outstanding students. That was precisely why the strong kept getting stronger.
Although Eastsea City was a major city on the eastern coast, with thriving commerce and fairly abundant resources, its location was ultimately remote. Most talented students still preferred the renowned schools in the continent's central regions.
Among the continent's intermediate Academies, Eastsea Academy ranked in the lower-middle tier at best.
But this year's new students might truly present an opportunity.
Yu Zhen pondered for a moment. "How do you intend to arrange the teaching staff?"
The facilities would actually be easier to handle.
If they really established a Special Class, the Academy could simply direct more resources toward it.
