To illustrate the principle of
the reduction of the shocks, one example in a
thousand: I was finishing my studies and, for anyone
initiated into the Great Game, it was
clear that I was entering an area of turbulence.
And as it happened, the
president of the jury, a crafty and deceitful person,
didn't like me (we'll see that he was born under the Star
Paroles, with a very weak configuration).
My adviser unfortunately was a
dull man, not very inclined to fight for his
friends (the poor guy was born under a No Major Star).
He was relieved when I
suggested that maybe his assistant Aurélien de
Noblepine could replace him. Aurelien was an energetic and fiery person who was
friendly towards me (for those
re-reading this book, we may add that Aurélien was of
the warlords race, I mean the Emperor+SevenSwords
type).
He knew nothing indeed about
the presented question but his strength of conviction
worked wonderfully and I had my degree.
Without my practical
experience of the Great Game, I was going straight to
the slaughter...
I had the pleasure of
returning him the favor, many years later, when, as a
State high-ranking person, he had to negotiate a
sensitive curve of his destiny... that's the way it
goes...
To be honest, it has to be
said that I fractured my ankle skateboarding on the
very same evening... of course I should have waited
for the harmful bracket to close...
During a critical period,
I can't repeat it often enough, one should hug the
walls, stay in bed, be wary of everything.
Anything can happen, it is
necessary not to let oneself be distracted : be on
your guard...
Well, I had my degree in my
pocket, and I had only just avoided the double
nothingness: to fail and to be fractured...
