Iluvita officially starts the new school year on the first day of September every year, and Morin and his party, who returned to the academy only two days early, are almost the last batch of students to register. But after only resting in the dormitory for one night, and having breakfast early the next morning, Marcas couldn't wait to pull the others to the common room of the wind whisper.

This lounge is located in the high-rise arcade on the lakeside side of the castle, and whenever a wind stream blows down the valley to the lake, a strange sound will be heard in the lounge, as if a hundred and ten people are whispering at the same time, different timbres affect each other, it seems light and chaotic, but when you calm down, you can occasionally catch one or two flashes of syllables, but no one can tell which language it is, and few people can even hear the same syllables.

This lounge, known as "Wind Talk", was included in the Academy's Top 10 Unsolved Mysteries by the Troublemakers Alliance.

But Marcus didn't come early in the morning with a group of people to listen to the wind.

This is the lounge closest to this year's freshman residence.

Marcas Lamorin and the others immediately grabbed the most prominent sofa in the entire lounge, and as more and more new students entered the lounge, Marcas began his "show" on his own.

I saw him summon magic cards from the rune title page for a while, and swirl around in his hand, and then use the flame cards to summon flames to control them to float back and forth in the lounge, with an undisguised "I'm a professional, I'm envious, hahahaha" expression on his face, which made people can't help but want to beat him up when they see it.

Of course, although the eyes of the vast majority of freshmen looking at this place were full of contempt, they could not hide the trace of envy and longing in their hearts, which also made the expression on Marcas's face even more proud.

Aeno scoffed at this gratuitous waste of magic.

Since coming into contact with the Sea of Mana, the little vampire will be very serious about channeling the magic power she has obtained into the empty magic crystal card every time she meditates, and in order to speed up the absorption of magic power, she often even keeps only a little magic power in her body, and not only has she saved a small fortune in the past few months, but her magic power has entered the realm much faster than Marcas.

In contrast, unlike ordinary professionals who can accumulate mana in the process of meditation (drawing mana from the sea of mana and letting it flow through their bodies and eventually import the mana crystal card), Merlin can still only consume mana to meditate (drawing mana from the mana crystal card and flowing through the body to introduce the small puddle of mana or mana crystal card), even if he has the extremely efficient transformation rune made by Mr. Ed, the loss of one in and one out becomes larger and larger as the level of mana in his body increases, which also makes him eager to find a way to make money。

"Tilna, when are we going to choose the course?" he asked.

From the second year, in addition to the required courses for each school, students are free to choose the courses they are interested in, and as long as they complete enough course credits, they can move on to the next grade.

Mo Lin thought about choosing a productive course like pharmacy as soon as possible, so as to make up for the bottomless pit when he cultivated his magic power. But let's forget about pharmacy, the boy thought, he had spent a whole year in Feith's class last year to prove that he didn't have the talent for mixing potions, and if he really wanted to learn it, he was afraid that the money from the sale of potions would not be enough to buy materials.

"We usually choose and decide on the course we want to take in the first two weeks of school. Vesdemonic replied, her sapphire left eye looking at the others, "Why don't we take a few more of the same courses this school year?" ”

There are four schools in total: Combat and Command, Mechanics and Manufacturing, Nature and Life, and Classical Mage. Among them, the combat and command school belongs to the warrior school, the other three belong to the magic school, and the four schools only rarely take public compulsory courses together, and the elective courses can be chosen and combined as long as the time is right.

"Okay......" Merlin nodded, and in the Ring of Identity, he requested a second-year elective schedule from the House Elf.

"Wow, you're finally back!" The elf's immature voice sounded in the boy's head: "How is it, Victor Academy is fun, isn't it?"

A few months later, she remembered Morin.

"Ahem, don't mention it, Victor Academy doesn't even have a house elf. The boy cheekily complimented.

Sure enough, the elf was overjoyed when he heard this: "That's natural, I'm an academy elf born with Illuvita, not even other magic academies, let alone Victor Command Academy! ”

"There are more girls in the nature and life schools in general...... "Merlin replied casually, beginning to ponder the long list of courses that came to mind.

"Even so, there is a big difference in the number of girls in the elective courses of the different schools of nature and life...... "For example, the elf said in a milky voice, "For example...... Hey, I got a message, wait a minute!"

The elf's voice in his head was interrupted for a moment, and his tone was much more formal when it sounded again: "Attention all students who are about to enter the second year, please gather in the castle hall after thirty mils (minutes), the academy teacher will answer and guide questions about course electives, and students who are too late to go can browse the magic images on their own later." ”

Maureen glanced at the others, and everyone seemed to hear the announcement.

Although the notice did not say that he must go, it was better than watching Marcas continue to "perform" here, and several people stood up in unison, and Maureen and Barron set up Marcas, who was still showing his magic, and often left.

"Isn't there thirty mils left, why are you in such a hurry?" called Marcas.

With no one paying attention to him, Marcus continued to be carried out.

"Let go of me, if you have something to say, don't do it...... It's not appropriate to be in front of so many freshmen......"

Still no one paid any attention to him.

"Oh, let me perform another Ice Mirror Technique......"

"Look at my ice ......"

……

"Woo-" In the corner of the castle hall, Merlin stretched hard and whispered to Aeno on the side, "If you had known that Wang Del was directing, it would be better to watch Marcus's performance in the Wind Whisper Lounge...... Not to mention, we're not the youngest students in the academy now, and it's amazing......"

Of course, this could not be heard by Marcus on the side, who was now full of resentment, and craned his neck to look around to see if there were any pink freshmen in the hall.

I saw that at the front of the long table in the hall, Wang De, who had a goatee, began to introduce slowly:

"The world is ancient, and legend has it that in the beginning, the scholars and mages of Issan did not divide into factions, and most of the scholars at that time studied and made achievements in many directions, in fact, in the language of Issun, 'scholars' can be translated as 'all-knowing' or 'know-it-all', and they know everything from esoteric magic to the cultivation of food, from the construction of buildings to the carving of magic wands. ”

As he spoke, Wang Del raised the wand in his hand to sign.

The topic of the scholars of Issan succeeded in arousing the interest of many students, and even Marcus listened attentively.

"But that's not to say that the scholars of that era were more knowledgeable than the scholars of today," Wang Del emphasized.

"The knowledge we have accumulated is much more than it was at the beginning, and as generations of scholars have deepened their research, each direction has become richer and deeper, especially in the study of magic. ”

"The last scholar in history to be called the All-Knower has passed with the time of Isson, and since then no one has been able to know all the knowledge, and for the average mage, if he is too broad, he will not even be able to qualify for further in a branch in his entire life. ”

Wang Deer sighed.

"But isn't that a good thing?" one of the students couldn't help but ask, "We know more now than we used to." ”

"It's a good thing and it's a bad thing. Wang Del shook his head.

"Take a simple one-ring magic ice breath technique, in the 375th edition of the Sky Ring's "Standard Spell Model", it is recorded in detail that this spell model has been improved one hundred and twelve times in thousands of years, and the efficiency of mana utilization has increased by nearly two hundred. That is to say, the magic we use today is three times more powerful than in ancient times. ”

"But the problem is," Wang De said, "

"The earliest improvements only involved the content of basic magic analysis, any mid-level mage who has mastered the principles of basic magic analysis can make such improvements, but the most recent improvement was made by a magic teacher, involving the advanced theory of magic transformation calculations, the theory of the control model of the ice element, the theory of ice element and magic vibration, the theory of the elemental dispersion and flow of air, etc., these theories take decades for even a magic teacher to master. ”

"If you put too much effort into one thing, you can't learn anything else. ”

"In Issun's time, scholars tended to study for the purpose of understanding the world, and then began to study after understanding all the knowledge, but today's scholars know from the beginning that if they learn as much as possible in all aspects and fields for the purpose of understanding the world, it will be difficult to master any field, and if they want to make a breakthrough in a certain field, they will not be able to dabble in a wider range of knowledge, and the knowledge in the world has accumulated so much that it is impossible to learn it even in a lifetime, is it not a sadness? ”

Wang Deer shook his head and turned the topic back to the course selection:

"In terms of course selection, my suggestion is that you are still young now, on the basis of ensuring the cultivation of magic power, try to choose as many courses in different fields as possible, even if you have already decided on the future career direction, try to get in touch with some basic knowledge in other fields, the wider the better, and wait until you reach the senior year to study a certain direction of courses in depth......"

……

I have to say that although Wang Del sells his wand like an old liar, he is still quite organized in his lectures, and everyone is more or less inspired to start sifting through the numerous public courses.

In the afternoon, Mo Lin and his entourage came to the commercial street to make purchases.

Different factions have different compulsory courses, and the books and props to be used are different, and the school will provide some of them and some of them will be equipped by the students themselves.

For example, Eminor, who chose the School of Nature and Life, needs a complete set of first-order magic cards to assist in refining potions, a set of silver cutters and a pair of magical protective gloves, Morin and Tilna, who choose the Classical Mage School, need a wide variety of battle cards, Barron, who chooses the School of Combat and Command, needs to create a set of well-fitting practice armor in addition to the basic battle cards, and Macus, who chooses the School of Mechanics and Manufacturing, needs a pair of mechanical tool gloves.

It took the group more than half an afternoon to purchase the must-haves.

Only Marcus was left still picking out gloves for mechanical tools.

The owner of the alchemy shop seemed to be quite patient, and although he was missing a front tooth, he always had a smile on his face, and he didn't care about Marcas's slow test of the gloves one by one.

Merlin and his party had been waiting for him in the alchemy shop for a long time, and Marcus had finished testing the gloves of all levels, but he still looked hesitant.

"What's wrong Marcas?" Morin walked up to him, glanced at the different gloves on the shelves, and asked, "Didn't you say you wanted to buy a high-grade mechanical tool glove before, and this should be the only one here that belongs to the high level, right?" he said, pointing to a pair of dark gold gloves that looked extremely complex and delicate.

With the introduction books he had read before, the teenager could still judge the level of these tool gloves.

But Marcus glanced at the most delicate high-grade gloves, swallowed his saliva, and his eyes showed affection, but he gritted his teeth again without knowing what he thought, and slowly turned his gaze to the other row of gloves that looked much simpler, and after a while, he turned to his boss and said, "I want this, the four-two type gloves of the Misul Machinery Company, and fifteen thousand five hundred and twenty gold Gessocks." ”

Maureen looked at Marcus in surprise.
