Novel Bin Chapter 436 Graduation Ceremony
Chapter 436 Graduation Ceremony
He said many things in a short period of time, from the achievements of this school to the students who had high grades.
When he talked about Carla, he made a big deal out of it as if no student was better than her even though Carla wasn\'t number one. Nova had higher grades than her.
However, the way the principal spoke was also so good that it didn\'t make people sleepy. Sometimes he made people laugh.
"Well, I think I\'ve had enough, too much talking also makes my throat hurt," he said, starting to indicate that he was almost done.
"Before the distribution of diplomas and the graduation ceremony, let us invite Mrs. Isabel, the Minister to make a speech, and share her insights with all of us."
He ended his speech by inviting Isabel to come forward.
For an Isabel who has been in politics for a long time, speeches are naturally simple for her.
She casually stood up, then walked slightly forward.
A female teacher handed her a microphone and she took it right away, tapping the head once to check whether it was working properly or not.
After that, she brought the microphone to her lips.
"Good afternoon everyone," she said, smiling slightly, a smile that gave the impression of politeness but also gave the impression of superiority.
It was actually a very difficult kind of smile because each seemed to contradict the other.
When you can put the two types of smiles together, the result can indeed be said to be unexpected, it will make people who see your smile bow to you and also respect you very sincerely because they consider you a good figure.
"As you all know, I\'m here because my daughter and nephew will soon be graduating from this school like your children," she continued in a slightly louder voice as there was a lot of applause suppressing her voice.
After that, she started talking about life, giving advice to the students of the school.
The gist of her words was actually giving them advice to learn more about life because human life is so complicated and complex.
She told them not to be surprised by many things in life because no matter how smart a student is, they only live a few percent of the reality of life.
"Well, I\'ll be quite open with you guys. Honestly, throughout my career, the reason I\'ve been able to get to where I am now is because I\'ve always been able to realize who my opponents are from the lowest point and then think of solutions to get past those opponents," she said, saying some things that shouldn\'t be revealed to the public.
"In reality, there is no such thing as a simple life where things just happen in a natural way. Everything has man-made causes and effects."
Everything Isabel said made the parents of the students smile slightly because they knew well such things, something that young people don\'t really think about.
Isabel didn\'t make a very long speech either.
After saying everything she needed to say, she stopped, and returned to her seat.
The principal came forward again when Isabel sat down.
"A very impressive speech about life, although it seems exaggerated, but it is a fact that has never changed since thousands of years of human history," he said, he fully supported Isabel\'s speech, or perhaps he did not dare to try to refute or simply disagree.
An old man like him would usually tend to hide things like this, letting everyone discover it for themselves.
At this moment, he couldn\'t help but remember about the student debate a few months ago between Arthur and Cale.
It was quite horrendous even though it had been forgotten some time later.
"Now, let\'s start the graduation ceremony," he added, looking at some of the teachers while signaling them to get ready.
He continued as he looked at the students, "those whose names are mentioned, please come up to the stage to receive your diplomas!"
After he finished saying that, a sad-sounding melodious music echoed from the speakers around the stage.
It turned the atmosphere into a solemn one.
"Cale," the principal said.
Apparently the young man with glasses was the first to be called.
He quickly stood up, tidying up his uniform before walking to the stage with quiet steps.
Arriving on stage, he received his diploma, took a photo with his homeroom teacher and the principal before heading back downstage.
After her, the others were called one by one.
From Bella, Nova, to Carla.
Overall, the first group were all from Class A.
The students had different reactions on that stage.
Some looked sad to the point of tears, but there were also those who looked happy about the graduation.
As for Arthur, there was no reaction at all on his face.
When students from all Classes had been called except Class E, his name was finally called, the first from his class.
He naturally did not refuse to come forward, he calmly walked onto that stage, attracting people\'s attention.
For now, even the parents of the students knew that he was the nephew Isabel was referring to.
Only, there were some strange discussions when the students\' parents saw him.
They obviously found it strange that he was in Class E.
Everyone knows that the division of classes is based on grades, although low grades do not mean that someone is low, but there are always high expectations for people with certain backgrounds.
However, that doesn\'t mean none of the parents came to Arthur\'s defense.
Sophia, for example, spoke to her acquaintances that Arthur was the most insightful young man she had ever met.
She also told them to watch the video of Arthur arguing with Cale.
Not only did Sophia say that he was very insightful, but she also said that Arthur was already at a different level so the concept of grades was meaningless to him.
She defended Arthur to that point purely because she wanted to defend the truth, not just because of Arthur\'s relationship with her daughter, Amanda.
When he arrived on stage, Arthur got a faint smile from Isabel, a smile that seemed to have a certain meaning.
She must have wanted to make him remember the things they had done yesterday.
He smiled back at her, but pretended that it was just a normal greeting towards his aunt.
His steps did not stop until he arrived in front of his homeroom teacher who handed him his diploma.
On top of that, he also signed some documents.
Then, he took two pictures, just like the others.
Actually, this whole diploma distribution process took a very long time.
There are too many students and one person takes several minutes even with a quick process.
When all the Class E students finished receiving their diplomas, it was already almost 12pm.
It was mellow enough that some people looked sleepy.
Fortunately, the event organizers still understood the situation. They distributed cold coffee accompanied by cakes that could fill the stomach well when people were getting tired. Even the students got one each.
Basically, this graduation ceremony is over.
But, of course, that doesn\'t mean there are no more events.
Class 1 and Class 2 for example, took to the stage to put on some performances, from singing to dancing.
It was entertainment for the exhausted people.
The students\' parents didn\'t go straight home either. While enjoying the entertainment, they were busy taking pictures with their children.
Meanwhile, Isabel came down from the stage.
However, the first person she approached was not Carla, her daughter.
She was actually walking towards Arthur so Harry who was with her became rather nervous.
Even the sight of Isabel from afar fascinated him, not to mention up close.
As she got closer to them, he couldn\'t help but notice that she was much prettier.
Fortunately she was not like on that inauguration day where she used makeup.
Although she was now wearing a dress, she was actually more modest.
"Congratulations on your graduation," Isabel said when she arrived in front of Arthur.
Perhaps it can be said that she is more relaxed.
"Congratulations on your graduation," Isabel said when she arrived in front of Arthur.
The latter calmly replied, "I have to thank you for paying for my education all these years. Otherwise, there is no way I would have reached this point."
It was a polite and qualified reply, which was exactly what he needed to say because there was no denying that Isabel had been instrumental in his life.
Before he became a Magus, he was completely dependent on her.
However, Isabel could not help but laugh when she heard his words.
"You\'re funny, but well, I accept your thanks," she replied.
After saying that, she suddenly handed her cell phone to Harry, surprising the latter.
Her eyes looked at him and she said, "You must be Arthur\'s friend from Paris, right? Can you help us take a picture?"
That Isabel spoke to him shocked Harry so much that he trembled.
Hastily, he nodded. "Sure, sure, I\'ll help you, ma\'am," he replied, accepting the phone from her carefully so that his hand wouldn\'t touch hers.
Harry felt that Isabel was too chaste to come into contact with him, not just because she didn\'t want to offend Arthur.
