Chapter 79 Debate is not stubbornness
After listening to the topic and rules of the debate, the students from Jiangnan and Qingyun Academy's palace examination class were all excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood. It was time to show their true strength.
Master Jiang, who was sitting firmly in the judging panel, couldn't help but worry for his students. After yesterday's communication and learning, he roughly understood Qingyun Academy's inertia of not playing by the rules and its unique teaching methods. In such an atmosphere, students can develop all-roundly. In comparison, Jiangnan Academy is too traditional, how can it compare?
Without giving him any time to think about anything, the students brainstormed and began to select four speakers, while the rest read books to prepare.
On the Qingyun Academy side, Song Yanjin specifically appointed Xia Yange as the spokesperson, and the other three were decided by themselves.
Xia Yange knew that the headmaster was training her and had no objection to this decision.
“I want to be a spokesperson!”
Xia Yunheng went over and sat in the second seat.
"You're occupying the toilet without doing anything. Get up now."
Song Yanjin grabbed the eldest prince's ear without mercy and dragged him away.
Xia Yunheng used his hands and feet to pull her away, "Cousin, you are biased. I will be a pillar of the court in the future, so why don't I have a chance?"
"Shen Muzhou, Ye Shiran, Gongye Zhiqian, you guys come over here."
Song Yanjin pushed his little cousin to the back and directly appointed a spokesperson.
"There will be many debate competitions in the future, and anyone will have the opportunity to be a speaker."
Knowing that some people would be dissatisfied, Song Yanjin quickly explained.
So everyone felt relieved and started to prepare for battle by reading books.
Shen Muzhou was a bit introverted and sat in seat number one uncomfortably.
Gongye Zhiqian is a bastard's son and has always felt inferior. In the capital city where legitimate children are valued, he has to seek out sons of noble families with status to serve as his vanguard. Gu Jiajing and Prince Yunheng are people who can do whatever they want in the capital city and are also his biggest backers.
Now that he was named by Principal Xiao Song, he felt indescribably sad. In the eyes of Principal Xiao Song, it seemed that all beings were equal when entering Qingyun Academy, and everyone in the palace examination class had the opportunity to display their talents.
"Zhiqian, what are you standing there for? Come sit in the front and I'll find the answer for you. Come on!"
Yin Guanshu pushed his brothers over. They were all the same people. If they had a chance to stand out, they would of course help their brothers.
"Yes, be confident, we will take care of everything."
"Come on Zhiqian!"
Du Xiufeng, Su Youli and a group of younger brothers cheered for him.
Gu Jiajing also nodded at him in approval.
He has always been the number one, so there is nothing wrong in giving the opportunity to his brother today.
Ye Shiran frowned and sat down unconfidently. He was never afraid of quarreling with acquaintances, but he always felt weird talking to strangers. He always restrained himself, and his attack power was halved and he didn't perform well.
When the students from Jiangnan saw that Principal Song directly ordered people to fight, they panicked. In the confrontation between the two academies, the strongest people would definitely be sent out.
The Jiangnan students sent the usually talkative Xie Gebing, the quick-witted Chen Xin, the talented Shangguan Fengfeng, the cunning... no, the clever Zhang Yangyang.
Spokespersons for both sides are selected, with the pros and cons taking the initiative.
Shangguan Feng of Jiangnan Academy: "At the beginning of the creation of the world, Nuwa created humans and taught them the way to survive. The mother of the earth, Nuwa, has good intentions. When humans first had a blank consciousness, she planted a kind heart. Therefore, human nature is good."
What he said made a lot of sense. Master Jiang took the lead in giving his student a bamboo stick. The four masters of Qingyun, including Song Yanjin, had to admit that what the other party said made sense. They all gave bamboo sticks and looked at their unfortunate children with sympathy. How could they be drawn to the opposing side...
Xia Yange from Qingyun Academy: "Nuwa weighed the pros and cons. When planting goodness, she would also plant evil consequences. In an environment where people are hungry and clothed, people with evil intentions will surely enjoy the world first. Therefore, human nature is evil."
Everyone: "..."
Girl, the dean said that debates must be supported by arguments, you are just arguing with him!
“Hahahaha…” I originally thought that everyone in Qingyun Academy was a strong person, but I didn’t expect…
Everyone in Jiangnan Academy was almost laughing to death. It was really funny that the young lady who spoke so confidently on the opposite side followed Brother Shangguan's rebuttal.
The judges from Xiqingyun Academy all had gloomy faces, except for Master Jiang who was in a good mood.
Xia Yange got nervous after not getting any points this time. She turned around and looked at her classmates, wondering what she should do.
Gongshu Tianye handed over the book in his hand, "Here, these are all compiled by everyone."
It's all his fault for being a step late, otherwise he wouldn't have fallen behind.
Zhang Yangyang from Jiangnan Academy: "When we are born, the first lesson our mothers teach us is to be kind, to tolerate others, and to comfort our family members. That is why human nature is good."
This made sense, and Song Yanjin had no choice but to throw down the bamboo stick.
This time Xia Yange didn't dare to say anything more and handed the booklet to Shen Muzhou beside her.
Shen Muzhou from Qingyun Academy: "Since I became conscious, the first person I came into contact with was someone with bad intentions. Naturally, evil consequences were planted in my heart. I became domineering and unreasonable. After a long time, I got used to it and everything was just as it should be. That's why human nature is evil."
This statement was barely acceptable, and the judges, all the teachers from Qingyun Academy, threw in their bamboo sticks.
The black-faced Master Jiang was unwilling to give it away. They had more people than him, but they were still bullying him alone!
The students of Jiangnan Academy were talking about it, but when they saw that their teacher approved, they didn't say much and shut up.
In the back and forth, Jiangnan Academy always had the upper hand.
The students of Qingyun Academy are almost dying of hair loss. It is not convincing to say that human nature is evil. It must be that people become bad gradually after birth...
This debate ended in failure, and Qingyun Academy was badly beaten!
"Wuhu~"
"Great, Brother Shangguan."
"Zhang Yangyang is worthy of you."
There was a burst of cheers in Jiangnan Academy.
On the other hand, the people in Qingyun Academy looked listless and dull!
Xia Yunheng stopped nagging at his cousin and thanked her for stopping him from embarrassing himself.
Master Jiang smiled and apologized to the teachers of Qingyun Academy one by one, "Thank you for letting me do that!"
There are many different opinions about the good and evil of human nature, and they are lucky enough to be drawn to the argumentative and righteous side.
My favorite braised pork for dinner doesn't taste good in front of the students of Qingyun Academy. I passed the autumn and spring examinations with a green light. When have I ever suffered a setback...
I'm so embarrassed today!
Affected by the students' emotions, the teachers were also in a bad mood, but there was only one person...
At the teacher's table, Song Yanjin was the one who enjoyed the meal the most.
Xiao Ruan didn't understand, but seeing that Sister Song's appetite had increased, she thought it wasn't a big problem.
Even Mr. Su, who loved braised pork, found it tasteless at this moment.
Master Ge couldn't bear to look at the girl across from him, "Little Principal Song, how can you eat this? If the students lose, it will be shameful for us as teachers."
Master Bai rarely picked up a piece of green vegetables with chopsticks and handed it to the person next to him, "Eat some vegetables."
“I don’t eat vegetables.”
Mr. Ge returned it impatiently, saying that this man had no tact at all.
"hehe."
Song Yanjin laughed out loud, "This is the first time the debate competition has been held. It's not surprising that the students are not very knowledgeable. There are eight out of ten setbacks in life. Who can always be smooth sailing?"
"Failure is common in the military. We need to dampen their spirits, help them grow through setbacks, and never give up!"
