On one side, the two siblings were hurriedly rushing to the battlefield in a carriage, while on this side, the two siblings had already grabbed their filled-out forms and found the homeroom teacher responsible for hosting the parents’ meeting.
After placing the “Preliminary Outline of the Pan-Continent Unified War” on the table, William stood beside the desk with his hands behind his back and said sternly to the homeroom teacher who was bitterly smiling: “Unlike my sister’s foolish dream of being a parasite, my dream has a very high chance of coming true.”
“Of course, if you call my brother and sister over, to avoid meaningless beatings, I might be forced to deny the feasibility of this plan. But since this concept is correct, I will not truly give in.”
“And if you use force to oppress me, teacher, you will not only lose my heartfelt respect but also lose the position of Minister of Homework, who is responsible for doing my homework in the future new kingdom. So I hope you think carefully before complaining.”
“…”
Truly… deadly…
Looking at William standing solemnly in front of him like an adult, seriously “advising” him, the corners of the homeroom teacher’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch violently, not knowing what to say for a moment.
This child, if he’s dumb, at six or seven years old, he already knows how to negotiate with him, even painting big pies and luring him with the position of “Minister of Homework,” vividly like a little “smart aleck.”
But if you say he’s smart, the dream he proposed is surprisingly absurd, not only plotting to overthrow the royal family, but even claiming to prepare to sweep across the twelve kingdoms… Honestly, he really wants to meet his parents and see what kind of family can educate such a peculiar child who is both dumb and smart…
“Teacher, I know you don’t believe me, and even think I’m immature.”
After waiting for a while without hearing anything from the homeroom teacher, William took the initiative after pondering for a moment: “I admit that the plan I wrote down earlier was a bit hasty, so it gave you the impression of low feasibility, but I’ve organized my thoughts these past few days and rewritten a new version of the ‘Pan-Continent Unification Plan,’ which I guarantee will satisfy you!”
In the somewhat collapsed expression of the homeroom teacher, William opened his homework book…his “Pan-Continent Unification Plan” proposal, pointing to the world map cut out from the geography book, and seriously said: “After I overthrow the royal family and unify the kingdom, I plan to befriend the major nobles of the coal-producing region in Black Forest Kingdom and cut off their supply of coal to the Northland Kingdom in winter, making the Northland Kingdom lack heating capacity, forcing them to rashly march south unprepared, setting up a premeditated ambush battle.”
Taking out the charcoal pencil picked up from Leon’s bedside, William drew a large black cross on the position of Leon County on the map and continued persuasively in a childish voice: “Teacher, imagine the situation then! If we can defeat the Northland Kingdom in one fell swoop, we will have avenged the grudge of the defense war six years ago, allowing me to firmly sit on the throne of king, and subsequent military actions will receive strong support!”
“After that, we can use the war reparations paid by the Northland Kingdom to purchase large amounts of seafood from Sai Ao Kingdom, befriending the kingdom known as the Thousand Sails Sea Country, then following the core strategy of distant friendship and nearby attacks, coordinated by sea and land, launch a surprise attack at the fastest speed, capturing the mining area of Fan Dastong in Thunderstorm Kingdom, and exchange large amounts of energy minerals for technology and weapons with Mechanopolis Crolock.”
“After ten to fifteen years of effort, completing sufficient military accumulation, through controlling ports and important land transportation lines, make the extremely commerce-dependent Morena Kingdom submit, binding it onto our war chariot.”
“Then, with a two-sided pincer movement, annihilate half the territory of Alleson Kingdom squeezed between the two countries in one battle, swallowing its most important grain-producing area, making up for the long-term food shortage problem in the southwest part of the kingdom, making up for the last shortcomings, and then fully starting the path to hegemony!”
“…”
Looking at the series of plans written in crooked handwriting, William’s homeroom teacher completely lost control, lips trembling as they asked:
“You…you usually like my geography class so much because…because you’re thinking about all these?”
“Not just your geography class, but also Mr. Logan’s history class.”
William said seriously: “To complete my plan, mastering these two subjects is necessary. Although I only scored 5 points in math, I have self-studied geography and history to the fourth-grade level, finished reading all related materials for children under 10 in the library, and already have the knowledge reserve needed to initially implement the plan.”
“…”
So you really worked hard studying for that dream of unifying the world!!
Looking at the “Unification Plan” on the table, though the handwriting was naive, it was actually well-made, even accompanied by diagrams where it wasn’t intuitive enough, hastily finding no obvious flaws, William’s homeroom teacher couldn’t help but swallow saliva and tried to dissuade him: “This…the hardest part of everything is actually the beginning. Look at your plan, it assumes from the start that you have already overthrown…uh…become the king, the starting point is too high.”
“Just like that saying goes, ‘It’s harder for merchants to earn the first copper wheel than the ten thousandth gold wheel.’ So instead of unifying the whole world, why don’t you be more realistic and make some closer future plans? For example…uh…like getting more than 20 points in the next math test?”
“Hmm…”
After seriously listening to the homeroom teacher’s advice, William frowned and thought for a moment, then nodded approvingly: “No wonder I recognize you as my teacher. Everyone else is trying to look far ahead, but you focus on the road beneath your feet, reminding me not to trip over the small stone of royalty before I even start. It seems the position of Minister of Homework is a waste of your talent.”
“In short, thank you for the reminder, teacher. I’ll go find Mr. Logan now, ask him for some past coup d’état materials, and see how to overthrow the royal family and become the new king!”
?!!!Wait! That’s not what I meant! Come back! Come back first! Watching William excitedly leave with his homework book and run to the opposite history group office, the homeroom teacher hurriedly got up to chase him, but whether it was sitting too long or receiving too much stimulation just now, she immediately felt dizzy and fell back into the chair.
“Teacher? Are you okay?”
“No…no…thank you.”
After catching her breath while sitting on the chair, looking at Melanie who came concerned, the slightly plump homeroom teacher couldn’t help but earnestly advised: “Melanie, when you go back, help the teacher persuade your brother to quickly abandon that dream! Even if you can’t persuade him, don’t let him talk about rebellion anymore, alright?”
“Alright…?”
After hearing the teacher’s words, Melanie’s big eyes turned around, then she grinned and said:
“But if I helped you, isn’t it time for you to help me? For example…just recognize what I filled out, stop making me change it back and forth, alright?”
“This…this really can’t happen…”
Looking at Melanie who, though not as outrageous as William, was still troublesome, the slightly plump teacher couldn’t help but take a deep breath and said helplessly: “Melanie, it’s not that the teacher insists on you changing, but think about it, if you do nothing and let your brother and younger brother support you, what will others think if they know?”
“They should envy me.”
“…”
“Haha, teacher, I was joking with you!”
Seeing the teacher’s lips quivering again, Melanie swayed the little braids Anna gave her and laughed: “I’m not like William the fool, I of course know that being a parasite will be laughed at.”
“Why are you still…”
“Because my life is my own, not for pleasing others.”
Melanie raised her little face, her expression serious:
“Teacher, people who care too much about others’ opinions will live a very tiring life. As long as one knows what they want most and strives to get it, why should others’ gossip matter so much?”
“…”
“If it really doesn’t work…teacher, I changed the form again today. See if this one works.”
In the bewildered expression of the slightly plump teacher, Melanie handed over the form, seriously said: “Like William, I’ve also carefully considered how to achieve my dream these past few days.”
“First, William is unreliable. He will give me the best life, but if I need him to support me, he will definitely bully me; Anna Sister won’t work either. She will definitely disapprove of me and force me to work. So the best choice is Big Brother.”
“Big Brother doesn’t like forcing people, and he has never scolded or beaten me and William. So as long as I find a particularly rich woman that Big Brother likes, figure out a way to marry him off, my life after will definitely be worry-free! By the way, teacher, you said when we filled out the form that it’s just for collecting information and won’t be shown to the parents…you didn’t lie to us, right?”
