Chapter 1125 -669: Teaching Oneself_2
Nico Ross pondered Nora Camp’s words again and then said, “She hopes for the liberation of mankind.”
“Do you respect her ideals?”
“I respect them.”
“That’s good.” Daniel Thompson finally laughed, nodding, “Nico, you’re still too young and your view of life is too shallow. For example, you are currently a trainee here, while she has gone to the front lines. If today, right now, her base is under attack and you are more than ten light years apart, can you fly to her side just by talking big? Can you? You can’t do anything, you can only shed a few tears as you watch the casualty report.”
Nico tilted his head and looked at Daniel Thompson with pride.
After a long time, he nodded silently, “That makes sense.”
“So have you figured out what I want to convey?”
Nico Ross: “I understand.”
“Really? Tell me, then.”
“You want me to broaden my perspective, right?”
“Yes.”
“I know what to do, so don’t yawn in class anymore. Go.”
“Goodbye, Instructor Hill.”
As soon as Nico Ross left the office, Daniel Thompson collapsed into his chair, exhausted as if he had just escaped alive from a battlefield.
He didn’t say much just now, but his attention was highly focused throughout, carefully observing every micro-expression of Nico Ross, figuring out each step of Nico’s mental journey, while his brain was working at high speed when organizing his own language, bringing together his personal experience, knowledge of educational psychology, micro-expression knowledge, literary ability, empathy ability, and other comprehensive capabilities in the field of education to their fullest extent, while also constantly battling with himself, controlling his emotions so that they wouldn’t get out of control.
This was indeed very challenging for the twenty-something Daniel Thompson, who appeared older due to his full beard.
However, he had finally succeeded.
On the other hand, Nico’s shattered confidence had barely managed to hang on thanks to his sense of duty, driving the workers of the Sage Project Committee to rise from the ashes once again.
Feedback from Nico had already come.
Daniel Thompson’s words had had a great effect.
Although it was difficult to estimate the principle, Nico’s attention levels, which had originally been hovering around 80%, suddenly increased by 5 percentage points, hitting 85%.
A week later, Nico’s state returned to 80%.
Another timely meeting with Daniel Thompson commenced.
“The Sage once said, ‘Putting in 200% effort, even if it only yields a 1% return, is worthwhile, because it is often the last 1% that determines victory or defeat.’
Nico’s state returned to 85% and began to rise.
A month later, he successfully earned a C-Class Warrior rating in the Advanced Infant and Toddler Group combat exam, and once again won the Nanorobotics Control Competition.
After that, his state began to slowly decline again.
Lion appeared on time: “The Sage once said, ‘Past achievements are forever in the past. Ten years ago was the past, the day before yesterday was the past, even a second ago was the past. In the moment of pause, everything fades into oblivion, becoming meaningless credits. One must always look forward.’
Nico Ross came back to life once more.
By this time, countless scholars and workers of the Sage Project Committee had finally become enlightened and learned.
The biggest mistake of the Sage Project previously was not being half-hearted but rather from the beginning, Nico Ross’s mentors should not have been informed about it.
Even if these mentors underwent the most professional training, formulated the most perfect training plans, and refined their acting skills, there would inevitably be a subtle sense of incongruity, which would be sensed by Nico’s keen intuition, causing an uncontrollable sense of resistance deep in his heart.
A genuinely perfect War God Plan could only exist in an ideal state. Instead, it was the unknowing Daniel Thompson, the “outsider,” who wasn’t deliberately trying to train Nico Ross for the purpose of turning him into a Sage. His actions were driven by nothing more than a training instructor’s sense of responsibility and a teacher’s innate love for their good students and were genuinely sincere and well-intentioned, making them most effective.
Busy every day with battling his wits against Nico Ross, digging deep into his own mastery of The Sage’s Quotes, Daniel Thompson was unaware that he had unknowingly become an educator revered by countless people.
He was just naively convinced that Nico Ross had extraordinary talents and that he had to find a way to squeeze out his few SSS-Class potentials. Otherwise, he wouldn’t deserve the trust that Dylan Mitchell and Andrei had placed in him.
Andrei Daniel Thompson was naïve, but not dumb.
After his first in-depth conversation with Nico Ross, he realized the purpose of being sent here by Cloudtop War Zone’s Commander-in-Chief.All for the sake of Nico Ross, this guy with N potential for SSS.
The value of a top-notch special warfare soldier is self-evident, as demonstrated by the contributions Tiffany Bell has made over the years.
But even the strongest person will one day succumb to time. Tiffany is being held back by the current crisis, refusing to re-enter cryostasis. She is inevitably marching towards the end of her life, day by day.
Daniel Thompson believes that Dylan Mitchell must feel that after Tiffany’s fall, humanity will inevitably need a successor to inherit her mantle, to carry out those unimaginably difficult tasks for ordinary soldiers, and to use their personal strength to gradually expand the battlefield and break the deadlock.
At present, Spartacus, Roger Baker, Bernstein, and others are on the rise.
Humanity also has another hope, Sage, who is destined to be resurrected but whose whereabouts are unknown.
However, it’s ill-advised to put all your eggs in one basket, and although these individuals are not bad, they may still have yet to show the potential to catch up with Tiffany.
As a result, Nico Ross’s value gradually emerges.
Lion believes that he has accurately grasped the key points, so he works harder and harder.
Though Daniel Thompson knows that his proudest “The Sage’s Quotes” are the core means to solve problems, he doesn’t realize that he has accidentally triggered another event.
Among the so-called Quotes of the Sage, some are indeed from Harrison Clark’s mouth, while others are derived from historians, literary scholars, and philosophers who have studied Harrison’s life and speculate on what he might have said in certain situations.
Though these words are not spoken by Harrison himself, they summarize his personal enlightenment and thoughts.
Daniel Thompson uses “The Sage’s Quotes” to “brainwash” Nico Ross during lessons, but is essentially teaching Nico Ross with Harrison’s principles.
Every time Nico hears Daniel’s recitation of The Sage’s Quotes, it is as if he is absorbing Harrison’s personality and thoughts beyond time.
He is “feeding” himself.
The invisible shackles in the depths of his heart are slowly loosening.
A sealed mark is slowly emerging to the surface.
The massive information contained in the firm mark, like a crystal slowly dissolving in water, is slowly melting and being absorbed.
Nico’s current growth rate may not be fast, but the level of mastery he displays when acquiring each skill is comparable to that of Harrison Clark, who struggled through nine lives and deaths to gain battle potential.
Time flies. Four years have passed, and Nico Ross is now ten years old.
At this time, his overall combat ability has reached B-Class, his personality has become more lively, and everything looks great. The only problem is that his cultural courses are just completed to the Infant and Toddler Group, barely reaching the elementary stage.
“Lion, I think I should be ready for the battlefield, right?”
After class, Nico Ross came to Daniel’s office voluntarily and said so.
Daniel Thompson thought for a moment and shook his head. “Don’t ask me. I don’t have the authority. I am just an instructor. You should go find the dean of the First Pioneer Academy or the minister responsible for education in the Cloudtop War Zone to talk about it.”
“Oh, okay. But I can’t contact them.”
“No problem, I can help you file a report.”
“Thank you.”
About an hour later, Nico Ross, who was watching a 3D movie in the First Underground Base’s Public Art Gallery, received a reply.
He couldn’t help but be greatly disappointed.
His request was denied.
Nico Ross was puzzled.
Other soldiers can freely choose whether to continue studying at school or go directly to the frontlines once they reach B-Class, seeking fortune in dangerous situations.
Why is it different for him?
Though he is only ten years old, he has already come of age and has the qualifications for a Major B-Class warrior, which matches the criteria for an Ordinary Soldier on board Nora Camp’s battleship. Yet this seemingly reasonable request was rejected outright by the higher-ups. They further informed him that he must complete a bachelor’s degree in basic knowledge first and pass a master’s-level evaluation in fields completely unrelated to combat ability, such as astrobiology, civilization studies, linguistics, and multi-universe sociology, before leaving the No.7 Star.

This is simply outrageous.
What gives them the right?
Nico Ross was immediately enraged.
