276, release the rise of great powers (please order)(1/3)

"It is also a pleasure for me to accept Mr. Bai as my student."

Professor James stepped forward to shake hands with Bai Gui and said with a smile.

He was also happy to have a good student. Especially when he saw that this student knew etiquette very well, he was even more pleased.

I had a few more conversations with Professor James in the Academic Affairs Office, about Bai Gui’s general research direction at Yale University in the future.

After the conversation, Professor James took his leave.

As a well-known professor, he is very busy. Not only does he have lecture courses, he also has some lectures, writes articles for some magazines, or studies certain subjects, and cannot spare any time.

This time I was in the Academic Affairs Office because I heard that Bai Gui was coming to Yale to report, so I took the time to come in advance.

Coming out of the Academic Affairs Office, Bai Gui was already wearing the Yale University badge.

The school emblem is a shield, and in the shield is an open book with Latin writing on the book.

Yale University is a university founded by Calvinists in Protestantism, so the school emblem of Yale University is also related to this. The Latin on the school emblem means "Light and Truth".

In the early years, Yale made Greek, Latin, and Hebrew one of the compulsory languages.

Even if it is not available now, in terms of curriculum, Yale requires students to have at least an intermediate level mastery of a foreign language, so every student must learn a foreign language for at least one semester.

He walks on campus.

From time to time, I came to a small building of a Greek-style temple. It was a brownstone building with vines twining around the stone walls. The temple had several narrow windows embedded in it, but through the glass windows, you could see the cross-shaped wooden walls.

Deadly nailed.

There is a sentence engraved on the side wall: "Who is the idiot and who is the wise man? Whether he is a beggar or a king, his final destination is death."

"Occult? 322?"

"I wonder if the Eloquent Club involves mystery, immortality? Or immortality?"

Bai Gui narrowed his eyes.

Yale University is neither too small nor too big. He walked here just to get a glimpse of this legendary and mysterious place.

In the history of Western education, there are seven arts that children of aristocrats must learn, namely grammar, rhetoric, dialectics, mathematics, geometry, astronomy, and music. In the Greek period, the wise man was a wise man who traveled around the world and recruited disciples.

A group of people who give lectures. When they give lectures, they often teach the first three of the "Seven Arts", namely grammar, rhetoric, and dialectics.

There were three famous and most influential educators in the Roman period: Cicero during the Roman Republic, who wrote "On Orators"; Quintilian during the Roman Empire, who wrote "Principles of Oratory"

; Augustine during the Roman Empire, he wrote "Confessions".

The West has inherited the culture of Greece and Rome, so it is very rare for Western aristocrats who have not received systematic training in eloquence.

Oratory is a compulsory course in the West, just like the Four Books and Five Classics of Confucianism.

As for why 322 is the club code, it is... Legend has it that when the Greek orator Demosthenes passed away in 322 BC, the goddess of eloquence also ascended to heaven. And the people in this club believe that in 1832

When the time comes, the goddess of eloquence will also return to the world.

"Now that I have just arrived, it's not easy to go and find out..."

"There will be a time!"

Bai Gui glanced at the Greek temple and walked away.

The Eloquent Club conducts recruitment activities every year in April and May, recruiting fifteen members. However, the qualifications for joining the club are very strict. They must be immigrants from the east of Ameken, preferably with English aristocratic ancestry.

He also needed to go to a boarding school for nobles, etc., but he didn't meet the first condition.

Yale University implements a residential college system in which freshmen are randomly assigned to twelve different residential colleges.

But this involves undergraduate students. He is a graduate student and can make his own choice.

In the evening, I went to a pub near Yale University.

Private room on the second floor.

"Guangzi, which professor do you study under?"

"I originally thought about studying under the same professor as you, but after thinking about it, you may have made a decision long ago, and I can't interfere."

Bai Gui took a sip of red wine and asked.

There are rich dishes on the table.

Grilled steak, fruit salad, and various drinks.

"I... didn't choose the history department this time. The history department would be too difficult. Without your help, I probably wouldn't be able to complete my graduation thesis."

"So I applied for the School of Liberal Arts."

Mitsuko Yamada's face turned red when Bai Gui's hot eyes looked at him, his head lowered, and his voice was like a mosquito.

"art college……"

"That's pretty good."

Bai Gui sighed.

When Mitsuko Yamada was at Kyoto Women's High School, her grades were not top-notch. After arriving at Tokyo University, she and he studied under Professor Shiraishi, and with the help of his junior student, they successfully completed their graduation thesis and graduated from Tokyo University.

Now Mitsuko Yamada knew that he wanted to stay away from him, so he didn't want him to help, so he chose the liberal arts college.

"Senior Himura, now you have sent Photon to Yale."

"So what are your plans for the future?"

Bai Gui asked Himura Kenshin on the side again.

Himura Kenshin came to Ameken Country as the escort of Yamada Mitsuko. Now that the mission has been completed, it stands to reason that it is time to leave.

"I originally planned to leave after a while, but..."

"A few days ago, I met a samurai from Japan. His name is Wudi. He is a martial arts fanatic. I thought he had died long ago, but I didn't expect that he is still alive. His ruthless and righteous swordsmanship is no longer the right way."

Feimura Kenshin groaned and said.

"Ruthless swordsmanship..."

Bai Gui frowned and said nothing.

Japan's kendo schools are just like the second best, Kashin Akechi-ryu, Innocent Denhou-ryu, Ryoten Kakusei-ryu, Weishin Itto-ryu, Tenshin-Maden Kaori Shinto-ryu, Shinto Isshin-ryu, Okuyama Ryojinden-ryu, Two Sword Tokichu-ryu

etc.

For example, the name of Himura Kenshin's Flying Sword Style is normal, but the moves such as Sky Dragon Flash, Dragon Hammer Shogun, Double Dragon Flash, etc. are so perfect that most people can't pronounce them.

"This is a pistol, I'll lend it to you temporarily."

"You don't have a gun license. Oh, yes, the constitution of Kenya allows you to hold a gun. Just hold it. I'll buy another one later."

Bai Gui would not foolishly say that he came to him if something happened.

He didn't know Himura Kenshin very well, but they got along pretty well on the ship for a month, and he had a relationship with Yamada Mitsuko, so he was a little concerned about Himura Kenshin's safety, but that was all.

"I have made an oath that I will never kill anyone indiscriminately again in this life."

Himura Kenshin refused.

"This is a kind gun, and it hasn't shot anyone yet!"

"There are two different things between not having a gun and having a gun and not using it."

Bai Gui casually threw the Browning pistol to Himura Kenshin.

Now that he's in Amei's country, it's easy to buy a gun, let alone a gun store. He estimates that his father-in-law's house will have a lot of guns, and he will just need one for self-defense.

A handful of Browning can sell for a high price in the country.

But it’s really not a valuable thing in Amei’s country.

It's no big deal to give this Browning pistol to Kenshin Himura as a favor.

"What you said makes sense. I will accept this gun."

Himura Kenshin thought about it, this is the truth.

Even though he was using a reverse-edged sword, even if the reverse-edged sword was reverse-edged, it could still kill someone even if it was used as a sharp edge.

Now that there is a gun, it is up to him whether to fire it or not.

As long as he can maintain the justice in his heart, this gun will be the gun of kindness.

"Since you and Miss Mitsuko are having a pleasant conversation, I won't bother you."

Himura Kenshin stood up, walked out of the box, and reciprocated the favor.

"Senior Himura and your three guards have left."

Bai Gui listens to the sound and identifies the position.

"They left?"

"Why did you leave so suddenly and I'm still here?"

Yamada Mitsuko looked surprised, his pink face turned red for an instant, and he suddenly realized something.

Himura Kenshin still has some face in front of the guards who protect her, and Bai Gui obviously will not harm her. The Yamada family asked these samurai to protect her, and it is impossible to tell these samurai to guard against Bai Gui.
