Douluo: A Century-old Legend I Am the Second Uncle Chenxin

If we count them carefully, there are three types of senior colleges on the mainland: one is directly affiliated with the government, like a towering palace, standing tall; one is a school built by the government and the people working together, complementing each other; the last type is a purely private college, like a breeze in the forest, free and unfettered.

The "people" here do not refer to ordinary people, but refer to those civilian forces with considerable strength.

In civil society, there are numerous aristocratic families, numerous sects, numerous companies, numerous gangs, both martial artists and businessmen, etc. Those who can enter the academy are all the best among them.

For example, Chang'an College is a purely government-affiliated college and one of the five provincial colleges.

However, the power structure within this academy is quite subtle.

The aristocratic family faction, with its profound foundation and extensive network of contacts, occupies about one-third of the positions of power. They are deeply rooted and their influence cannot be underestimated.

The civilian academic school supported by the government has firmly occupied half of the market with the support of the government and the support of the "common people".

As for the highest-level position - the vice-president level, it is firmly held by the three respected seniors, the Chang'an Elders.

The remaining positions will be divided among other small factions.

This situation did not change until Chen Cong's arrival, and the people from the aristocratic families were finally able to reach the highest level.

Generally speaking, such directly affiliated colleges are powerful, and there are only three of them in the province of Fasno, namely Chang'an College, Canghui College, and Siyue College. They are like three bright stars, illuminating the educational sky of the province.

However, directly affiliated colleges also have their shortcomings, that is, they have strong political attributes and are subject to strict official control.

In comparison, purely private colleges appear to be more free and are generally backed by extremely powerful and prominent institutions.

Yuehua College, Jianyu College, Yishou College, etc. are all colleges run by civilian forces. They do not want to be constrained by the official authorities and prefer to run schools according to their own wishes and ideas.

These academies often have unique culture and soul master style, attracting many aspiring people to study here.

However, the number of such colleges tends to be minimal.

The last type is the government-private partnership academy.

This type of college is the most numerous, and basically every county has a senior college.

They have received both official support and absorbed the power of the public, forming a unique model of running schools.

As for the reason.

Colleges are big spenders and have almost no economic output other than the talents they cultivate.

It costs a huge amount of money to support so many teachers, purchase and maintain so much equipment, maintain the fighting arena, especially the simulated environment.

For a college like Chang'an College that has twenty simulated environments, the expenses are huge, one can imagine.

Therefore, not all colleges can obtain funding from the Ministry of Education, and the Ministry of Education is unable to bear such huge expenses.

In fact, even directly affiliated colleges mostly rely on funding from the Ministry of Education and local governments to maintain operations.

This is the case with Chang'an College, whose funding sources are quite complicated.

However, even so, there are still twenty or thirty directly affiliated colleges in the Tiandou Empire, and the Ministry of Education is simply unable to support all of them.

This is why the directly affiliated colleges are basically located in the main urban-level cities.

Because the finances of major cities are more abundant, they can afford the high expenses of the college and provide better support and protection.

The county government is unable to support the senior college on its own, but it has to run it. After all, a county covers 100,000 square kilometers, so it can only invite private forces to cooperate in running it.

As a result, three different styles of colleges were formed: directly affiliated colleges, private colleges, and government-private joint colleges. They each have their own strengths and together constitute the rich and colorful college culture and diverse educational pattern on the mainland.

In everything, economy is the cause and culture is the result!

The same is true for the rise and fall, honor and disgrace of the college!

But this brings up another issue - the source of students!

This student source issue, like a sharp thorn, has deeply pierced the hearts of many colleges.

In this continent where the strong prey on the weak, most of the high-quality students are attracted to the powerful affiliated colleges as if by the rainbow effect of a magnet.

With their strong faculty, advanced teaching facilities and rich educational resources, they have become holy places in the hearts of students.

Private colleges are often the private preserves of powerful forces. They either train their own children or provide talents for sects, companies, etc., forming their own school.

Relying on its own resources, unique style and influence, it can also attract a group of outstanding students.

For those government-private partnership colleges, which are mainly county-level colleges, the competition for students is a war without the smoke of gunpowder.

They are like small grasses trying to survive in the cracks. They have neither the strong background of directly affiliated colleges nor the unique charm of private colleges.

Therefore, in order to demonstrate their strength to attract hesitant students and to show their educational achievements to all parties, they have to try their best to prove their value on various occasions.

As the most anticipated event in the entire continent, the Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition has undoubtedly become their main stage for display.

Please...you...collect_6191 book 1 bar (six \\\n\\\\book\\\\bar!)

This is a competition concerning honor, strength and students. Every college is gearing up to show its prowess in this feast.

As a directly affiliated college, it is natural that they hope that the elite competition will adopt an elimination system.

In this way, they can preserve their strength and save the best players for the national semi-finals to show their talents.

However, this proposal was strongly opposed by other colleges.

They believe that it would be too cruel if students who have been trained with great effort for five years were eliminated just because of one round of competition.

It’s fine if you win, but if you go home in disgrace after losing a round, it will not only be a blow to the students, but also damage the reputation of the college.

Therefore, they strongly demanded the adoption of the same competition format as the All-Empire Semi-Finals - a single round-robin format.

A single round-robin tournament means that each team has to play a match against all other teams, so there are more matches and the opportunities are relatively equal.

Even if you lose, you can still show your style and strength in the game and let more people see it.

If possible, they would like to have a double round-robin tournament, the more games the better.

So, either don’t play at all, or play a single round-robin tournament!

However, problems also arise.

There are 21 senior colleges in the province of Fasno, and they use a single round-robin system. Even if there is one round of games a day, it will take 20 days.

This is undoubtedly a long test for the participating students.

Not only do you have to fight for 20 consecutive rounds, but you also have to maintain your condition at all times. Any carelessness may result in injury or affect your performance.

Therefore, a strong starting lineup and sufficiently good qualifying players become the key.

Each team can register 15 players, which not only ensures the team's strength and bench depth, but also leaves room for unexpected situations during the game and replaces injured or poorly performing teammates.

How to deploy troops, match and select the regular players and pre-selected players is a test of the skills of each advanced college.

Only in this way can we maintain competitiveness in the long game and win honor for the college.
