Chapter 10: Mick's First Alchemy Lesson
The Bright Academy is really big, and Mick doesn't know where Liam has taken him, so now he can only follow the teacher.
When they finally arrived at the dormitory, almost everyone in the building, except for the freshmen, was respectfully saying hello to the man, and they couldn't help but wonder about the identity of the two behind them, why they entered the dormitory under the guidance of the teacher.
"Pick a room, because our academy is too big, so even though there are so many new students today, it's still not satisfying. ”
Mick and Russ chose a quieter room with four beds, each with a matching futon, and the students themselves basically didn't have to buy anything. There are currently only two people in this room, Mick and Russ, and each dormitory has its own bathroom.
"Wow, no wonder so many people are coming to the Bright Academy, even the accommodation here is so good, you can live until graduation for five silver coins!"
"Do you really think it's that simple? After entering the school, you have to work for the Bright Academy, and you have to complete the academy tasks every year to get a certain contribution value to continue to stay in the academy, and the required contribution will increase with the increase of your years in the Bright Academy, if your contribution value is not enough at the end of the year, you will be expelled in minutes, which is why so many people sign up to enter the academy every year, but now people are still dissatisfied. ”
In fact, this is not only the case for Guangming Academy, but also for most countries on the mainland.
"That's right!"
"Of course, those who can graduate from the Bright Academy must be elites. Do you know who brought us here?"
"The bald teacher?"
"His name is Tucker!The Imperial title is the Guardian of the Holy Shield, the tenth or eleventh of the ten powerhouses of the Bright Realm. I didn't expect to teach at Guangming Academy now. ”
"Why the tenth or eleventh?" Russ didn't understand Mick's words.
"The reason why he is called the Guardian of the Holy Shield is because in the early years he was the king's personal guard, and he was very meritorious in the battle, so the king rewarded him with a national treasure, the holy shield, which is said to be the hardest and heaviest shield in the world, and no one in the whole kingdom can lift it except him.
And the ten strongest people in the Bright Realm, except for him, are all the strength of the Great Grandmaster, and only he lives in it with the strength of the Grandmaster and the blessing of the Holy Shield. However, some time ago, I heard that an alchemist had reached the realm of a great grandmaster, and he didn't know what his strength was, so I didn't know if he was still in the top ten. ”
As one of the top combat forces in the Cloud Peak Country, Xia Yasu naturally has some research on the masters of other countries, so it is not surprising that Mick knows Tucker, and maybe Tucker also knows Xia Yasu.
"Wow, why do you know so much!" Russ looked at Mick with adoration.
"I ...... Read more!"
Mick knew that his words seemed to be a bit much.
"They're still waiting for us to eat!" Russ suddenly remembered.
"Let's go, let's go!"
By the time Mick and Russ arrived at the entrance of the Academy, Meiya and Trill had been waiting for a long time.
"Why did you come here?" said Treir, a little impatient.
"Something happened, delayed!"
"Have you read the student handbook? We're going to meet tomorrow!" Trill reminded.
"Yes! We just entered the dormitory and came out, and we didn't have time to see it. ”
"And tomorrow we're going to have to choose a major in it. What do you all want to choose?" asked Trill.
"Of course I'm a fighter. Mick said.
"Then I'm an archer. Russ didn't even think about it.
"What about you?"
"I want to choose to be a doctor. Mei Ya replied.
"As for me, I haven't figured out what to choose, I want to be a gunslinger and I want to be a mechanic!"
"It doesn't matter if you choose as you like, if you can't do it, you can choose everything, as long as you are willing to work hard, you can achieve something in any profession. ”
Trill nodded.
Everyone came to the cafeteria of the academy, where you can eat for free as long as you show your identification, in fact, not only here, as long as you are a student of the Bright Academy, then most of the facilities in the academy will be open to you for free, and some of the facilities need to consume contribution points to use, so this is the reason why the Bright Academy attaches so much importance to the contribution value.
Mick was naturally polite when he knew that it was free, and he had enough chicken and beef. There was a lot of food in front of him.
The students who passed by looked at them curiously.
"It's free, but you can't eat like that. ”
Seeing Mick feasting, Russ couldn't help but say.
"As a fighter, physical fitness is the most important thing! Mick said before he could swallow the food in his mouth.
Mick ignored Russ's words and continued to eat to himself.
"Eat it too!" said Mick, pointing to the large pile of food.
Everyone shook their heads in embarrassment.
..........
Early the next morning, everyone came to the square of the college to attend the entrance ceremony. At this time, a large group of people had gathered in the square, some new students and some old students watching the excitement. However, in such a large square, it does not look crowded at all.
A moment later, an old man in white walked up to the stage, he was thin but unusually tall and tall, and his steps were unusually steady, if you didn't see his face, you would think he was a middle-aged man.
After he walked on stage, the whole square fell silent.
The old man introduced himself, it turned out that he was the headmaster, and then he began a long speech, the content of which was mostly inconsequential, and Mick also went in and out of the left ear.
And other things are basically introduced in the student handbook, including the most important contribution value system, which is not much different from what Mick said, and it can be summed up in one sentence, but the task must be completed.
After the opening ceremony, new students are asked to fill in the profession they want to study. Mick naturally filled in the warrior, but he thought about it again and added the alchemist behind the warrior. However, this questionnaire is not very meaningful, and students are very free which courses to take, and it does not say that they must take classes in that profession if they choose that profession.
So the next day, Mick did not attend the warrior's class, but went to the alchemist's class. Because Mick knew that it would be a waste of time for him to go to combat classes now, and there was no teacher who could teach him how to fight at this stage, if the Aegis Guardian could teach him in person, Mick would still be willing to accept it.
There are not many people in the alchemy classroom, but there are quite a few, and this should all be attributed to the great alchemy master.
Mick chose to sit in the corner of the last row of the classroom.
A moment later, a middle-aged man walked into the classroom, his hair was a little unkempt, but it was obvious that he had been carefully combed for the lesson.
After the man introduced himself, he began to lecture.
"In fact, alchemy was originally a very broad profession, and it can be known through his name that it was originally related to refining metals, but now we have subdivided many professions, such as mechanics, blasters, etc., so now we alchemists refer to alchemists. A profession that uses alchemy materials to make potions. ”
This was also Mick's first contact with alchemy, and he also understood the history of alchemy.
"You may have heard that an alchemist has reached the strength of a great grandmaster with alchemy, and I don't know what his personal strength is, but I dare say that he alone will be a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield. ”
Indeed, Shiasu also encountered alchemists on the battlefield, and their duty was to drop potions at the rear of the battle line, some of which were thrown at teammates and some of which were thrown at enemies, and they would inflict great damage on ordinary soldiers. If he were to say that the last enemy he wanted to encounter would be an alchemist, because no matter how strong Xia Yasu was, the enemy would not let him touch his own warlock.
Afterwards, the teacher talked about the use of alchemy equipment and the knowledge of the ratio of alchemy materials. Everyone was given a textbook with some simple recipes for potions.
Through this lesson, Mick understands that alchemy is not difficult, but what is difficult is the success rate of alchemy, the quality of the product, and whether he can create his own alchemy formula.
After a day's lessons, Mick didn't rush back to the dormitory, but followed the instructions in the manual to the physical training room.
Entering the training room is first a changing room, and there are three areas in the changing room, each corresponding to a training method.
They are gravity training, pressure training, and grit training.
There are many training pods for each training style, and each training pod can only accommodate one person for training.
Each training module has different training intensities, but only the first level of intensity is free and open, and the first level and above need to contribute points.
