Chapter 53: Spell Lesson
Although Pear Blossom threatened Al with rain and anger when the goblin left, Al spent the next two days and weekends in the library, and did not encounter anything out of the ordinary, and soon, Al completely forgot about the goblin.
These two weekends were naturally extremely fulfilling for Al.
A new week has begun.
For most of the apprentices in Al's class, Monday's class was something they were looking forward to.
Because that's a spell class.
And it was their first spell class when they came to Ceylon.
Although after so many years of development, the meaning of magic has long been more than just a few spells that magicians can release, it can be used to guide the creation of magical magic objects, it can be used to explain some natural phenomena in the world, and it has gradually evolved into a discipline and knowledge similar to philosophy that studies the reality of the world.
But no matter how magic evolves and evolves, when it comes to it, the most common thing that comes to mind is spells.
A mage who doesn't even know how to do spells is not qualified to be called a mage, and the most important factor in assessing a mage's level is what level of spell he can unleash.
Naturally, the place where the spell class was taught was still in the small circular classroom, and Al and his classmates came outside.
Although the decoration of the Ceylon campus is shabby and petty compared to the other best magic schools in the city, this is only from the point of view of a magician or an architect, if only from the perspective of an ordinary person, the campus of Ceylon is full of greenery, the roads are clean and tidy, and you can still see marble statues and decorations as decorations from time to time.
Clean and fresh, this is the impression of the Ceylon campus.
Today's weather is also exceptionally good, the blue, white and white clouds are clear, the morning sun shines through the thin clouds on people's bodies, and under the soft breeze, it is not hot but gives people a warm and comfortable feeling, which is a very suitable day for sleeping.
Al looked up at the sky slightly, and the good weather made his mood extremely pleasant.
"Student El over there, please don't get distracted in class, classes outside are not for you to see the scenery. An unceremonious rebuke came from the front left.
Amid the snickering laughter of the surrounding classmates, Al came back to his senses and looked over there.
The teacher who just accused him was a tall woman, full of feminine beauty and sexy body curves that even a long magic robe could not cover, the high breasts and the hem of the robe exposed by the black stockings of the calves and high heels were easy for men to think about, and the long brown hair was curled in a beautiful bun at the back of the head, which matched the dignified and bright face.
She is Celinda, the head of El's class, the female mage who used the light illusion spell to disguise herself as an old mage and was recognized by El on the first day.
Looking at Al's somewhat indifferent expression, Celinda glared at him with beautiful eyes and continued to lecture.
"Master of chest massage, I see that Teacher Celinda has already taken a fancy to you, otherwise why do you like to find your faults so much?" A little boy with freckles on his face next to him leaned over with a very gloating smile on his face, and said to Al in a low voice.
His name was Pochi, and Al's tablemate was a familiar guy, and Al had become very familiar with him after all these days of getting along.
However, when it is time to give a face, it is still necessary to give a face.
Al is a man who is not good at words and can't argue, and the best defense against this kind of ridicule is to ignore it.
Al tilted his head slightly to the side, and the sound of Celinda's lecture drifted into his ears:
"Today is your first spell class, and if you have any of you from a mage family, you must already know what you will learn in your first spell class. β
"Yes. An apprentice answered below.
"If you have any of you who are interested in magic, you should also know what you will be learning in your first lesson. β
"Yes. Another apprentice answered.
"Even if you've never been exposed to magic before, and have only heard stories about magicians occasionally, you should be able to guess what the spell I'm talking about at this time is. β
Most of the apprentices below had a very clear light in their eyes, and only a few of them kept showing a confused look, but when they heard Celinda say the last sentence, their eyes flashed, and their faces began to show thoughtful expressions.
Al actually belongs to the second type of people that Celinda said.
"That's right, the first spell we're going to learn is the Fireball Technique. β
No one showed the slightest look of surprise, Celinda said so much, and even before she said it, most of the apprentices already knew what today's spell class was learning.
"Before I start teaching you, I'm going to ask you a question, why do you think the vast majority of magic academies teach apprentices their first spell with fireballs?"
"Is it because the fireball technique is simple?" replied an apprentice below.
"Is the fireball spell simple?" Celinda said with a shallow smile on her face: "As a two-ring spell, it is indeed a relatively simple two-ring spell, but no matter how simple the two-ring spell is, it is also a two-ring spell after all, if it is just for simplicity, then why not just choose a one-ring spell as a teaching spell?" Obviously, your answer is wrong. β
"Because of the fireball technique?"
"Famous? That's an interesting answer. Celinda shook her head and said, "But if there is a famous spell that can be used as a teaching spell, then from a certain point of view, the one-ring spell Light Technique is more famous than the Fireball Technique, and it is also simpler, why not choose it?"
Two consecutive incorrect answers caused the apprentices below to start a whispered discussion.
Some of the apprentices came from a family of magicians and knew that the first spell class was basically about fireballs, but they didn't know why.
Reason?
When learning knowledge, we also have to think about the reasons for learning this first and then that? I am afraid that most people would not do this, and even ordinary teachers would not teach like this.
But Celinda is obviously not an ordinary teacher, as can be seen from the fact that she uses light and shadow to change her image in the first section and then tells her students not to believe the eyes and ears that see and hear is true, she is not an ordinary teacher.
Seeing that the apprentices below were discussing but couldn't get an answer, Celinda felt that her goal had been achieved, so she smiled and said, "It's not difficult for you, then I'll tell you the real answer." β
"As the student just said, the fireball technique is relatively simple, and it will definitely not be too difficult to be used as an introductory spell for the first lesson, so the opinion of the classmate just now does have a certain amount of truth, and secondly, the fireball technique is very famous, and all that classmate said it is not unreasonable, and it is easier to arouse everyone's interest by using the famous spell as the first teaching spell, however, I can tell you that in fact, these two points are not the real point, you think about why the fireball technique is so famous, so that in the eyes of many people, it is simply a magician's signature spellοΌβ
"Because it works. An apprentice whispered below.
"Yes, it works. Celinda's blue eyes flashed, and she nodded in approval to the girl who whispered back: "Why is the fireball technique so widespread, so famous? In fact, the answer is so simple - it's just easy to use." β
"It's like the first move of a swordsman when he starts to practice his sword is the downward slash posture, why is it a downward slash? is because it is simple to use, but it is extraordinary, and it is extremely easy to use, and the meaning of fireball is the same for magicians, fireball is the magician's downward slashing position. β
"And here is a truth for you, that is, the simplest but most widely used is often the most classic, and it can practice classic things to the extreme, and it will definitely not be weaker than other magic that seems gorgeous and complex. β
"Just like the Empire's current prestige of the Great Sword Saint Vidoranma, his most famous move is not the secret sword of the Raging Wind Sword Flow, but his move is called the lower slash of the Veran Slash, I don't know how many enemies have died under this move, and there has also been a legendary mage in the history of the Empire, he used the fireball technique to the peak of Cheng DΓΉ, it is said that he only relied on one person and the various fireball techniques he developed, he wiped out a complete standard elite army of the enemy country equipped with mage knight assassin priest archers. β
"I don't even have to go so far, I can tell you a secret, that is, what is the counterattack attack spell that most mages throw out when they are attacked by a surprise attack? β
Celinda's words made many apprentices' eyes begin to glow with longing and excitement, in fact, when they knew that the spell they were going to learn in today's class was the fireball technique, many people refused at first, because they thought that this spell was too bad, and there were no special skills, so it was not attractive to them at all, but after Celinda's beautiful description, they quickly ignited their enthusiasm for learning.
Of course, this is only a part of the people, in fact, several of the apprentices present are from the family of mages, and they have already learned the fireball technique, so although Celinda described it very excitingly, it is not very attractive to them, after all, they have learned it before.
But they soon discover that they were completely wrong.
"Do any of you know fireballs, can you please give a demonstration to your classmates?" asked Celinda.
