Chapter 78: Lessons from the Duel Academy (I)
"Alchemy is divided into ancient alchemy and modern alchemy, and ancient alchemy is mainly the process of turning stones into gold through the techniques that alchemists want to transform matter in various ways, such as 'killing' and then 'resurrecting', and then 'domesticating' matter, etc. There is much debate about whether ancient alchemy has a scientific basis and whether it is effective, but I am sure that some parts of it are really useful. β
In another guest class this morning, unlike Professor Kunonos, who would constantly move around the classroom during the lecture, Professor Daitokuji, who was in charge of alchemy, sat quietly in the classroom and lectured during the lecture, and at the same time he did not forget to pet the cat when he was lecturing.
Professor Daitokuji not only didn't use PPT when teaching, he didn't even do board books, and he didn't even take textbooks. However, he was able to accurately say the content of every page of the textbook, even down to every line.
This class was also the one that the students listened to the most. "Alchemy" used to be a magical metaphysics that only existed in the fantasies of these students, but in the past two years it has suddenly transformed into a new science, which many have called "the perfect combination between modern science and ancient metaphysics", and is currently the most popular subject.
Being new and cutting-edge naturally means difficult, and in general, very few students are able to understand modern alchemy through alchemy courses taught in school. However, because modern alchemy uses a lot of the power of dueling monsters, and it is a discipline that is deeply related to "dueling monsters", many people are planning to understand "dueling spirits" through alchemy.
Therefore, basically all dueling academies will offer courses in modern alchemy, so that these students can at least have a certain understanding of this cutting-edge subject, and most importantly, screen out those students who can really learn this modern alchemy.
"We will not mention the role of ancient alchemy, we will mainly talk about modern alchemy. There are three recognized founders of modern alchemy, as you should make clear on the second line of the third page of your book. Today we are going to talk about Yuan Lihua, the Chinese mathematician who first proposed the concept of modern alchemy......"
"Purr ......"
While all the students were taking notes, a sleeping snoring sounded very distinctly in the classroom.
"......" Professor Daitokuji looked at the ten generations who were sleeping in front of him, and saw that his saliva was about to flow on the book.
"Youcheng Ten Generations, Youcheng Ten Generations......" When Youcheng Shidai was woken up, the first thing he felt was the "warm eyes" of the professor of Daitokuji in front of him, and he stood up abruptly for this.
"Shishiyo, can you help me catch the Pharaoh?" Professor Daitokuji squinted his eyes and said kindly, "It seems to have gone to you." β
"Meow~" As soon as Professor Daitokuji's voice fell, Meow's cry sounded next to Shidai - it turned out that the cat that was sitting on the lap of Professor Daitokuji just now was standing next to Shidai.
At the same time, all the students in the class also understood that the cat's name was "Pharaoh". I wonder if this name has anything to do with the legendary first dueling king full of mystery?

In the afternoon class of "First Acquaintance with the Forbidden Card Table", after the students arrived, they heard the sound of high heels coming from behind them.
"I know it's likely that most of you were already talented before you came to the Duel Academy, but in my class today, you're destined to rediscover what this game is and how it works. β
Before most of the students could see the teacher, her strange accent came from behind everyone, and the students present could tell that the foreign teacher's accent was a little strange, and she always curled her tongue when she spoke Japanese, giving people a feeling of not being very proficient. And when she walked in front of everyone, she immediately attracted the attention of the audience.
The professor's beautiful waist-length blonde hair was like the sun draped over her body, and her figure was tall and sexy, but a red round-rimmed glasses on her face restrained the wildness of the foreign professor's whole body, and she looked intellectual and elegant.
"Let me introduce myself, I'm Rebecca Hopkins, and I'm going to be in charge of your 'Forbidden Card Table' class in the future. β
When all the students heard Professor Hopkins' name, some of the students who had some knowledge of the environment of the duel began to whisper. For example, a certain girl next to Ojiaou told her best friend that Professor Hopkins was not only a very famous and powerful duelist, but she also served in the IFD.
Rebecca Hopkins, who was the core backbone of the forbidden card formulation department in today's IFD for the first two years, did not resign from there until the year before last, and then was invited by Sameshima Shuishi, who was back as the president of the Pacific Rim Duel Academy, to embark on this path of teaching and educating people.
At the same time, she has another layer of identity, that is, the honorary principal of the Pacific Rim Duel Academy - Principal Sameshima originally planned to let Rebecca be the dean of the "Sun God Huang" Academy, but Rebecca refused.
I heard that the reason for the rejection was related to the reason why Rebecca left the core department of IFD, and the reason why she quit from IFD was because she didn't like the kind of management work, and she came to the Duel Academy mainly because she wanted to do some pure teaching work.
Rebecca is very good at lecturing, she is able to let students understand the forbidden and restricted cards in a simple way, so that students can understand why these once powerful guys are locked up, and learning these can also make these young duelists understand what the so-called "strong cards" and "weak cards" are.
However, in the middle of the conversation, while everyone was listening in a daze, Rebecca suddenly stopped.
Because she noticed that someone was making small movements.
"That Osiris over there. Rebecca stretched out the whip in her hand and pointed at Yucheng Shidai, who had secretly opened the card pack in class...... Ojiaou beside him.
Why? Because Ogyao's expression is changing very quickly nowβshe wants to listen to the lecture well, but there is always a spirit behind her who is complaining about Rebecca's lectures, which makes her not know who to listen to for a while, so she has to write down both things and analyze them slowly.
But it is estimated that because Li Zheng is too noisy, the girl always can't bear to give him a punch when taking notes, so her expression changes quickly, making Rebecca begin to wonder if she is secretly writing something during class.
"Shimada ...... Ojiaou. Rebecca nodded the girl up, and she didn't ask why the girl did that - she didn't want to delve into the contents, so she just had to ask a question: "Tell me, why is the 'Twin Demons of Pranks' banned, and why is the 'Pot of Desire' a restricted card when it is banned?"
Li Zheng: ["Break it, these two goods should obviously be banned!"]
O'Gazeo: ["Shut up! Really, this time it's all because of you that the teacher ...... it"]
