Ella mediated a debate between Hillas' focus on standardized education and Ron's innovative 'Resonance Technique'. She challenged them to consider whether quantity or quality was more important for future leaders. To resolve the conflict, Ella proposed Ron demonstrate his technique by integrating it with historical projection, focusing on the dangerous workers' uprising on Stoker Star. Hillas, despite his reservations, agreed to help ensure the demonstration's safety using the 'Silent Dome'.

Ron gave Hillas a deep look.

The expression on the other’s face was professional and sincere, but in the depths of those eyes, he caught a hint of an unusual gleam.

It wasn’t simple curiosity, more like... some hidden anticipation?

Yet this feeling vanished in an instant, Hillas quickly resumed his expected seriousness and focus.

"Then, we shall hold the public lecture next Friday."

Ella made the final decision:

"I will inform Professor Weinard and other management level Masters to come and observe the evaluation."

"At the same time, some outstanding senior students will be invited as auditors so they can witness the charm of cutting-edge teaching methods."

The meeting thus ended, but Hillas’s emotions surged like a tide.

On the surface, he exchanged polite farewells with other Masters, but deep in his heart, he was engaged in complex and precise calculations.

"Ron Ralph..."

As he walked alone through the corridor back to his dormitory, this name echoed repeatedly in his mind:

"A Moon Level newbie, daring to challenge the traditional system of the entire academy..."

Hillas paused, staring out the window at the Tree of Life, still resplendent in the night.

He had been on this colony for over twenty years and had seen several self-proclaimed "hotheads."

They arrived with enthusiasm and idealism, trying to overthrow the established order, only to ultimately be defeated by the harsh reality.

But Ron was different.

This young man not only had theoretical innovation but also demonstrated actual results.

Even more terrifying, he received support from core management like Ella.

"If he is allowed to continue developing..."

Hillas’s fingers unconsciously clenched:

"It won’t be long before Professor Weinard realizes the potential value of the ’Resonance Technique.’"

By then, we who adhere to traditional teaching methods, the ’old school,’ will be marginalized or even eliminated."

But deeper fears lay in the ideological conflict.

What Hillas had persistently followed and practiced all his life was "quantitative management" and "standardized production."

Ron’s "Resonance" and "selection," although capable of creating individual geniuses,

His emphasis on "personalization" and "teaching according to aptitude" fundamentally undermined the foundation of mass cultivation.

"If every student needs a unique guiding method, if teaching Effects entirely depend on the ’wondrous interaction’ between teachers and students..."

A flash of fear crossed Hillas’s eyes:

"Then education is no longer science but art. Not a controllable engineering but an unpredictable mystery."

"This uncertainty, this chaos, this... absurdity."

He slowly shook his head: "It absolutely must not take root in Green Ring No.2."

Hillas resumed walking towards his dorm, but his steps became more resolute.

He had already made a decision.

Not to destroy Ron—that would be too crude and easily expose his motives.

But to prove the fundamental flaw in Ron’s approach at a crucial moment with facts.

To let everyone see how this seemingly beautiful idealism collapses under genuine pressure testing.

"A ’controlled’ failure..."

A smile appeared at the corner of Hillas’s mouth:

"It can strike at Ron’s reputation while showcasing the reliability of traditional methods."

"And I, emerging as the technical Expert in a crisis, naturally win more trust and resources."

This is for the long-term benefits of the whole colony and for maintaining the stability of the education system.

At least, that’s how Hillas justified it to himself.

.........

In the following days, Hillas devoted himself to the tuning of the "Silent Dome" with unprecedented enthusiasm.

The complexity of this facility far exceeded the average person’s imagination.

The entire dome was composed of three nested spherical structures.

The outermost layer is the physical protective shell, the middle layer is the Energy Regulation System, and the innermost layer is the Spiritual Resonance amplifier.

Three layers of the system are connected through thousands of Micro Rune Arrays, forming an organic whole.

"The Energy Regulation System is at the core of the entire dome."

Hillas explained to the technicians who came to assist:

"It is responsible for monitoring the intensity of internal Spiritual Waves and maintaining a stable Energy Field environment through a feedback mechanism."

He pointed to the dense indicator lights on the control panel:

"Under normal circumstances, the system automatically adjusts the resonance frequency to ensure any abnormal fluctuations are promptly suppressed.

However..."

Hillas’s voice became more technical:

"During extremely high-intensity spiritual activities, such as Historical projection with emotional guidance, the system’s self-repair mechanism may experience delays."

"Especially when projected content involves strong negative emotions, the so-called ’emotional entropy’ impacts the stability of the Energy Field."

The technician nodded, but evidently did not fully understand the deeper implications.

Hillas did not expect them to understand.

He completed the most critical part of the subsequent tuning work alone.

On the Energy regulator of the core resonance crystal, Hillas made an exceedingly subtle modification.

He lowered the system’s "tolerance threshold" from the standard 15% to 12%.

This change cannot be detected under any routine inspection.

The value remains within the safe range, and all indicators show normal.

However, this 3% minute difference will have a critical impact under specific conditions.

When the intensity of the Spiritual Wave approaches the threshold, the Energy imbalance that could originally self-repair will be magnified into an apparent system fault.
