London, the capital of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, is the largest city in Europe and the largest economic and financial center. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In 50 AD, the Romans founded the city's predecessor, Londinium. For more than a thousand years, the city rose and fell in the tide of the times, destroyed and rebuilt several times, and finally became the London it is today.

The core of the city has maintained its boundaries since the Middle Ages, and there are countless historical monuments, such as the Tower of London, Torwell Castle, St Paul's Church, Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, etc., some of which are more than a thousand years old. However, compared to the building to be mentioned next, all of London's monuments are only "juniors", which is the heart and headquarters of the Magic Society, the Clock Tower.

There are two major forces in the world of the Occult World: the Templar Church, a large armed organization established to manage mysticism and hunting heresies, and the Magic Society, a self-defense group formed by people who study magic, regardless of nationality or school.

The mission of the Magic Society is to manage (nominal), conceal magic, and develop it. In order to protect itself from things that threaten it (the church, strange beings who punish people who violate taboos other than themselves), and to hold research institutes for the further development of magic (and it is also said to prevent decline), laws were enacted to curb magic crimes.

The Magic Society is made up of three divisions: the Clock Tower in London, the Wandering Sea (mobile stone coffin) in the North Atlantic, and the Atlas Courtyard (Giant's Cellar) in Egypt.

Among them, the clock tower as the headquarters is the youngest, and the founders include many heretics who were driven away by the Atlas and the wandering sea, and there are two theories about the time of its establishment, one is before the AD and the other is the second century AD, both of which have a longer history than the name "London". Today, the clock tower has become the highest institution of learning in the world of magic, gathering a large number of magicians.

At the time of its establishment, the headquarters was located in the basement of the British Museum, which is arguably the oldest building in London, and later moved to a small town on the outskirts of London due to the development of the organization and the city. The town consists of more than 40 student dormitories and more than 100 teaching buildings. In the center of the town stands the original schoolhouse of the Clock Tower, which is also the symbol of the Clock Tower, a literal clock tower.

Now Shinji is standing in front of this tower with his suitcase in tow, in the name of the heir of the small magician family in the remote area. At present, this narrow "clock tower" is no longer used as a school building, and is only open to the public for a few days a year, but unfortunately today is neither a memorial day, nor a major event has occurred, so Shinji can only regretfully stop in front of the gate. I took out my camera and took a few exterior photos, and I used magic to manipulate the camera to take a few selfies for myself, and Shinji thought that this was not in vain.

This scene fell into the eyes of the guards and passers-by guarding the tower, and it became a symbol of never seeing the world, and a little disdain was added to the sight. ”

But I don't know that Shenji is also despising them:

"A bunch of people who haven't experienced the storm and think they're academics - sure enough, I don't get along with the mainstream of the magic world, so I'd better go to Webb as soon as possible, at least there's no such unpleasant atmosphere there. ”

Although the clock tower functions as the center of power of the Magic Association, it is fundamentally a huge magic academy. The Dean has been the same person since the Clock Tower was built, but this person has long since disappeared from the world, so let's not talk about it for the time being.

Since the formation of the lordship system in the twelfth century, the clock tower has consisted of thirteen faculties (families), namely the general foundation (I.), the individual foundation (II.), the séance (III.), the ore (IV.), the animal (V.), the inheritance (VI.), the plant (VII.), the celestial bodies (VIII.), the creation (IX.), the curse (X.), the archaeology (XI.), the modern magic theory (XII.), and the thirteenth department of law and politics for the management of magicians.

There are various classrooms under the faculty, and the Elmeloy classroom, which Weber inherited, is one of them. Formerly under Kenneth's Ore Section, Kenneth himself taught it, it was the signature of the department. However, after Kenneth's "disappearance", the Ore Section fell into the turmoil of power struggle, and the historic El Meloy classroom was in decline, and was abandoned by the Ore Class two years after Kenneth's "disappearance".

At this time, Webb, who had returned to the clock tower, had just completed enough credits to become a Level 3 lecturer, inheriting the classroom. The reason why a third-rate magician can inherit the classroom is because many families who don't deal with the Elmeroy faction see this as the greatest irony of Kenneth.

The classroom that used to be the most important has declined, and it has fallen into the hands of the disciples of the "mediocre talents", I don't know how you, the "genius", feel.

However, everyone didn't expect that this "mediocre talent" would make the classroom look good in a short period of time. At first, there was no decision on the official division of the school, and the classes continued with a few students, but the unusually easy to understand practical classes became a topic of conversation among the New Age in the Clock Tower. It even persuaded several lecturers who had failed in power struggles to take the podium, realizing an unprecedented multifaceted education system.

Although the current Al Meloy classroom is not very popular, it has also gained a lot of fame and is unique among modern magic subjects.

Shinji casually found a female magician, called his sister twice at a young age, sold a cute, and asked for the way to Elmeloi's classroom.

The neighborhood of the Modern Magic Department "Sla" is a road that makes you feel as if it is patched. While the streetscape on the west side of the building looks historic, the east side of London offers occasional glimpses of modern architecture. The landscape is not so much devoid of unity as it is more like a wound hidden with a bandage after a major surgery.

There is a great relationship between environment and magic, which can be seen in the classical style of the whole town where the clock tower is located. However, the Department of Modern Magic is the least regarded of the thirteen faculties of the Clock Tower, and it is not as financially well-funded as the other faculties.

Although I can't say everything, seventy percent of this world is determined by the budget, and this is also the case in the world of magic. At the end of the day, the notion that money converts the value of the world into a numerical value is also mystical and therefore helpless. The constantly inflationary assets of the planet are the illusions created by the collective unconscious of the concept itself.

Again, money is not everything, but no money is everything. ”

Shinji, who had done his homework before coming, sighed as he swayed around the ivy-covered brick fence and walked through the ramp towards the crossroads.

Soon, the destination appeared in front of us - the smallest school building in the headquarters of the thirteen departments of the clock tower.

This is said to be an ancillary facility of a certain university. Incidentally, some large faculties, such as the teaching buildings of all basic departments, are disguised as universities, and the gap between faculties can be seen.

The entrance hall of the teaching building is appropriately arranged, with the stability and taste valued by the British aristocracy, and there is no lack of embellishment of modern elements, giving people a sense of comfort with appropriate shades.

However, less than a minute later, this comfort was shattered by a sudden scream.

PS: The location of the clock tower is round, and the mushroom has directly given two theories, one is the fourth chapter of the "Fate grand order" under the British Museum, and the other is the suburban statement in "The Clock Tower of 2015" and "The Book of Events of the Second World".
