Chapter 709 Surface
Gu Yu listened to Jiang Yirui's introduction of the campus classes and the Sky City with a smile on his face, and responded from time to time.
He would also invite Cha Seo-jun and Cha Ki-jun to chat together, making the scene look more harmonious.
"Gu Yu, don't be fooled by Jiang Yirui's appearance. Under her pure and lovely appearance is a cruel and selfish heart. There are many beautiful and kind girls in the school.
With your face that's as handsome as mine, a little taller than me, and a body with eight-pack abs, you have a lot of options!"
After lunch, there is still some time before the afternoon classes. For the freshmen of Xinya High School, their day will be arranged like this:
The morning meeting starts at 8:30 and lasts for 10 minutes. There are four classes in the morning, each lasting 50 minutes, and a lunch break at 12:30.
There is a one-hour and twenty-minute lunch break at noon. Classes start at 1:50 p.m. After three classes, there is a twenty-minute cleaning time after class ends at 4:40 p.m., followed by an hour of club activities.
There is no evening self-study in the first semester of the first year of high school, but it will be offered in the next semester. The evening self-study will last until 9:30 p.m.
However, it is not mandatory for students to attend, because many students at Xinya High School have hired instructors and have better study and tutoring arrangements, and some students with special talents will have other arrangements.
Compared with other high schools in South Korea, especially public schools, the schedule of Xinya High School is very humane, and it also takes into account the possibility of students' all-round development, and does not restrict participation in club activities.
In fact, the reformed South Korean college entrance examination will not calculate the total score, but will score each subject separately, and then determine the grade of each subject and the comprehensive grade based on the score range.
Each university will recruit students based on the examination grades of each subject, student handbook, interview scores, expertise, etc.
This requires students to control their own performance in many aspects, such as managing internal audit grades, writing papers, participating in volunteer activities, and club activities.
Therefore, a good high school becomes crucial.
Of course, Gu Yu could not feel the pressure from all these aspects, as he had already embarked on the path of genius.
The top three universities in South Korea, SKY, namely Seoul National University, Korea University and Yonsei University, all opened their doors to Gu Yu. He did not have to wait until the third year of high school and could be recruited at any time.
Gu Yu doesn't have to go to college in South Korea. He has better choices. The Ivy League in the United States, as well as several world-renowned universities in England, France, etc., have also made promises to Gu Yu.
It is conceivable that his high school life was much easier than that of other South Korean high school students who were in hell.
"Jijun, Yirui and I just met, and high school is stressful. Whether it's me or her, we must focus more on studying. You think too much."
Even though she had feelings for Gu Yu and even chose to take the initiative to contact him, it was after all at school, and coupled with her aloof personality, Jiang Yirui did not move with Gu Yu and the others after lunch.
This gave Cha Ki-joon the opportunity to say bad things about her behind her back.
Hearing this, Gu Yu chuckled and explained,
"There's an old Chinese saying that if a woman chases a man, she'll be able to get him back easily. You don't have any ideas, but isn't Jiang Yirui's performance obvious enough? She's almost shouting with a loudspeaker.
Gu Yu, don't give up the entire forest because of this dogtail grass! "
It can be heard how much resentment Cha Ki-joon has towards Kang Ye-seo.
"Jijun!" Brother Che Shujun frowned and spoke in a rare stern tone.
"Okay, okay, I'm just reminding Gu Yu," Che Jijun waved his hand nonchalantly.
"Gu Yu, have you submitted your club application? What club do you want to join? Can the basketball department consider it?
The minister asked me to bring you over. He heard about your basketball skills and your strong physique that can dunk."
However, he still changed the topic. As he became more and more familiar with Gu Yu, his suppressed chatterbox nature was released.
For a high school club, being called a "department" instead of a "society" means that the basketball club of Xinya High School has a school team, is large in scale, and participates in regional and national competitions.
"You can go and have a look, but basketball is just a hobby,"
Gu Yu and his friends walked towards the teaching building while chatting, passing by the terrace flowerbed.
As a private high school, Xinya High School has good infrastructure and greening.
When the three of them passed through the terrace, a girl came out from the shadows in the corner and watched Gu Yu and the others disappear.
The girl's school uniform in winter, 1.63 meters tall, short hair with air bangs, a small round face, big watery eyes, youthful and cute, with fair skin,
Her name is Jin Hui Na, she is in the same class as Gu Yu, and her grades are second only to Jiang Yi Rui.
He must have heard the conversation between Gu Yu and the other two. He had an inexplicable expression on his face. A hint of a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. His eyes flickered, and he seemed to be thinking of something.
Gu Yu returned to the classroom and received a book full of knowledge from Che Shujun - Thus Spoke Zarathustra.
It seems that they are ready and just waiting for Gu Yu to agree to join the reading club.
The classroom was very quiet during lunch break. Some students were resting on their desks, and the students who were energetic and playful had not returned to the classroom yet.
For example, before Che Jijun even stepped into the classroom, he was called by several boys to play basketball. They invited Gu Yu. Based on the healthy principle of not exercising after a meal, Gu Yu smiled and refused.
In addition to those who were resting and playing, there were also those who were still working hard to study and do exercises, such as Jiang Yirui, Che Shujun,
Bored Gu Yu flipped through Nietzsche's philosophical prose and poetry.
The book is divided into four parts. The first part includes a crucial preface and two speeches.
The story is mainly focused on a town called "Blemish Bull Town", and tells the story of Zarathustra's spiritual evolution from seclusion to preaching.
At the age of 30, he left his hometown and everyone else and lived alone in the mountains.
When he was approaching the age of forty, he felt that he was full of energy, so he went down the mountain to preach his ideas to the masses. At the end of the first part, Zarathustra said goodbye to his disciples and returned to solitude, letting everyone find their own way.
The second part also consists of 22 speeches, mainly delivered on and around Happiness Island.
Zarathustra, who had returned to solitude, dreamed that his teachings were distorted by the world, so he went down the mountain again to save his disciples.
He went to the Happy Island and made a sharp criticism of all kinds of "modern people" such as sympathizers, missionaries, moral people, scholars, poets, and prophets.
At the end, he felt a thought gradually rising in his heart, and this thought was the core of the book, "eternal return".
But he felt that the time had not come yet, so he left the "Island of Happiness" in tears and returned to loneliness again.
The sixteen speeches in the third part were given by Zarathustra on his way back to his cave across the sea.
He began writing when he boarded the ship for his return trip, and he fiercely criticized the Christian tradition, the old morality, and modern society. He gradually felt that his idea of "eternal return" was maturing.
The fourth part contains twenty speeches, in which various characters appear. They are the "high men" mentioned by Zarathustra, including the prophet, the ruler, the conscientious scholar, the spiritual magician, the last pope, the extremely ugly man, the voluntary beggar and the shadow.
Zarathustra is briefly tempted to sympathize with the efforts of these “superior men,” but ultimately he rises above sympathy, for sympathy is the morality of the weak.
At the end of the book, Zarathustra finally realized that what he was pursuing was not happiness, but career, so he left the cave where he lived again.
"Like the morning sun rising from behind dark mountains, warm and strong,"
Is this really a book for high school students?
Gu Yu glanced through it and couldn't help but complain in his heart.
