"Thank you, teacher, for giving us confidence in the kingdom!" Some students said loudly in convincing.

Almost all of the students applauded and thanked Ansitanos for his wonderful answers.

Someone even shouted, "Teacher, you should talk to all the students in the academy about your analysis." ”

"Aren't there still you!" Ansitanos smiled and encouraged the students to spread his word.

A voice suddenly sounded in the group of students: "Teacher Ansitanos, according to the analysis method you just mentioned, is Thebes also becoming a youth?" Is it possible for it to defeat Sparta and become the new hegemon of Greece itself? ”

Not only Ansitanos, but the other students were also surprised to follow the prestige, and it was a teenager who looked to be no more than thirteen years old.

Ansitanos was even more surprised than the other students, because he hadn't really thought about the question asked by the other party, so he asked with interest, "Apox, why do you think so?" ”

"Teacher." Apox stood up, bowed, met the curious eyes of everyone, and replied seriously: "I have read some information about the war that is going on in Central Greece, after the Thebans drove out the Spartans and gained independence, they established a new democratic government, which not only mobilized all the people of Thebes, but also attracted the citizens of the surrounding small city-states, and they united to form a large army, which fought very bravely, and actually resisted the attack of the Spartan army.

The new government of Thebes still had the strength to send troops to help the other city-states in the Piosia region, drive out the Spartan garrisons, and help them gain independence, such as Tespia. Naturally, the city-states that received the help were more closely connected to Thebes......

It has been more than half a year since the outbreak of the war, and the Spartans have not only failed to reoccupy Thebes, but have made the Thebans more active, and they have led the local people to fight against the Spartans in various parts of Piosia...... This situation is not just as you just said, teacher, the new government of Thebes is united and enterprising, and the people of Thebes are full of vitality and courage to fight, like a young man who has grown up, while the current performance of Sparta, the overlord of Greece, is slow and clumsy, and he has lost his previous sharpness, and is more like a middle-aged and elderly person...... Mr. Ansitanos, do you think I am right in my analysis? ”

The students were amazed, they couldn't believe that such a coherent and insightful analysis could come from a teenager.

Ansitanos knew that King Davers had a very intelligent child who was very good at the Turiyi School adjacent to the Dionian Academy, but he did not expect him to utter such insightful words, and his eyes became brighter and brighter when he looked at the boy.

"I really haven't really thought about Thebes." Ansitanos replied calmly: "Your analysis has given me great inspiration, and it seems that I will really have a good understanding of Thebes in the future, which will certainly be of great help to the kingdom in dealing with Greek affairs in the future." However, according to what you have just described, although Thebes is showing signs of rising, it has only just gained independence, and it has not yet fully integrated the power of the Piosia region, and does not yet have the power to become a youth. What's more, now that it has been attacked by the Spartans again, it is very likely to die halfway...... Of course, if it can survive this war, it may have time to become a formidable force. ”

Speaking of this, Ansitanos looked up at the sky again, and then said to the students, "That's all for today's class, and we'll continue in two days." Finally, let us thank Apox, who lent me a lot of information about Egypt, so that you can hear more about Egyptian history that I have taught today. ”

As a student who was still studying in the advanced class of the Turiyi School, Apox did not actually have the right to attend classes at the Dionian Academy, and it was precisely because Ansitanos borrowed these materials that he took the opportunity to request to attend the lectures, and he was granted permission by Ansitanos.

The students all thanked Apox and did not underestimate him because he was just a teenager.

And Apox is like an adult, neither humble nor arrogant.

Ansitanos saw it in his eyes and admired it even more.

After class, the students scattered, and Ansitanos stopped Apox and asked kindly, "After graduating from the Turiyi school, which house are you going to attend?" ”

Every year,The schools in the cities of Dioonia will report the outstanding graduates of the school to the Dionian Academy,King Davers, the supreme director of the Dioonia Academy, and the presidents and vice-presidents of the subordinate colleges,According to the students' grades and performance and their own wishes,Preliminary selection of outstanding students who enter the Dionian Academy Colleges for further study,And then notify them to conduct written examinations and interviews,So the students who can enter the school to study,Are the best talents in the kingdom。

Ansitanos knew something about Apox and knew that even without his father's help, this bright teenager could easily get into school.

The clever Apox understood the purpose of Ansitanos's question, and became a little hesitant: "I like history, but I also like mathematics. ”

Ansitanos, who is tranquil by nature, felt a little headache when he heard this: Mento Tik Els, as the dean of the mathematics college, is ten times more shrewd than Matticoris, who only knows how to do research, Apox is so good, and he is His Majesty's own son, I'm afraid this guy has been eyeing him for a long time, if he is not sad, it will be difficult to compete with him!

He looked at Apox, who was young, but smart and calm, and he really liked it in his heart, and he couldn't bear to give up, and couldn't help but say: "Since that's the case, you can study in the Faculty of Arts and the Faculty of Mathematics in the school park at the same time." ”

"Is that okay?" Apox was surprised.

"As long as you can guarantee to excel in both areas, why not! Like the famous scholar Pythagoras in Tarantum, he not only founded the famous school of mathematics, but also had great ideas in philosophy, music, and art. And it's not uncommon for a scholar like him to be well-versed in multiple fields in Mediterranean countries, and I'm sure you can do the same! ......," Ansitanos said with a gentle encouragement.

"Teacher, I'll go back and think about it." Apox was a little tempted.

"You are welcome to come back in two days." Ansitanos made a final emphasis.

Apox left the school and didn't go back to school, because it was already past the end of school, so he went straight south.

A few years ago, the town hall of Turriy was converted into a number of pitches for the children of the Tourii school and has become a favourite place for the children to go after school.

By the time Apox arrived, the courts were already filled with students, and the entire area was enveloped in a boisterous crowd of people and cheers.

Seeing the other children running happily on the field, Apox's blood began to boil all over his body, and he quickened his pace and walked towards the middle court.

"Briantes, pass the ball quickly! Pass it to me! An unusually high-pitched female voice passed through the cacophony and into her ears, and Apox smiled: they were here.

On the field, a small but stocky boy wearing a white liner crashed away from the opponent, grabbed the football, and then passed a big foot to the front.

A slender girl in white up front, half a head taller than the opposing defender, stopped the ball steadily, quickly turned and brushed past the defender who had grabbed it, and then slammed the ball past another defender and easily slotted the ball into the net before the goalkeeper pounced.

The girl shouted and screamed excitedly, and her teammates came up to applaud her.

Since girls tend to develop earlier than boys, at this age, girls are not too inferior to boys in strength and speed, but often have an advantage in height. In the relatively open social atmosphere of the Dionian Kingdom, especially in schools, it is not uncommon for boys and girls to participate in sports together, and it is often the children of high-ranking officials who take the lead, and it is natural that some people will follow suit, such as the Dionian princess Eunice. However, sports like rugby, which are intensely competitive, with frequent physical contact and cuddles, are not seen in games, while football is often seen.

After celebrating her goal, the tall girl turned to look out of the field, waved dissatisfiedly at Apox, and shouted, "Apox, you're too late again!" ”

"Second brother, come on!" Briantes shouted along.

"On what!" The tall girl glared at her: "Now the field is full, replace you?!" ”

Briantes immediately stopped talking.

"It's okay, second sister, I can be a substitute." Apox said with a smile.

Eunice's face softened, nodded and said: "You will be a substitute for a while, and then you will be replaced for a while, and our defense will still rely on you." But don't be idle on the sidelines, help me accompany Nelia first. ”

"Nellia?" Apox was familiar with the girls Eunice had befriended, but the name was distinctly unfamiliar.

"She's a student who just transferred to our class." Eunice had already walked to the sidelines and whispered, "Her father is Miltias, I see that she looks depressed all day long, so I forcibly brought her here, she loves to read as much as you do." Go ahead and help me enlighten her. ”

Eunice pointed in one direction and nudged Apox with the other.

Apox saw the girl sitting in the corner of the field, and involuntarily quickened his pace and walked towards her, because he was thinking in his heart: Miltias, the commander of the Kingdom's 4th Fleet, died in Sicily not long ago, but the people of Turiyi talked a lot about his death, and many people thought that it was because of his negligence that the Sicilian Fleet suffered heavy losses, and his family was probably very uncomfortable in such a bad public opinion environment.
