"It is necessary to mediate the contradictions between magicians and ordinary people, and not to change the "status" of magicians with political pressure, but with economic necessity. By making magic an indispensable element of economic activity, magicians can truly escape their destiny and no longer be regarded as a crafted weapon, and no longer become a "dangerous good" that ordinary people need to "avoid". [Normalization of Magical Research] is the concrete means to accomplish this wish......"

Tantai Styx and Shao Linan couldn't help but widen their eyes and turned their heads to look at Tantai Shenxue who was speaking, not understanding the meaning of what she said inexplicably, "What does this mean?" ”

"The theory preached by a lecture that Gu Lanshen once attended." "Maybe that's why he was attacked!" After all, there is a priority hate candidate among the attackable targets, and it is natural that they will target him first......"

As for the idea of "providing financial benefits and allowing magicians to return to ordinary life", it was put forward very early on, and even if there were few supporters, they were unwavering in their belief that it was correct. However, there are no signs of even materialization.

In other countries, the main "use" of a magician is in the military aspect. Whether it's the development of magicians, or the use of magic. According to federal investigations, ninety percent of magic-related content in empires and alliances is used militarily in relatively peaceful situations.

Therefore, there is constantly news of ordinary people marching and parading from "over there", as well as news of ordinary people attacking magicians, magicians killing ordinary people, and so on, causing social disorder.

The Confederation avoided these from the details of the law when it was established, and it is not bad in terms of the current state of society. But there is still a gap between magicians and ordinary people that cannot be bridged, although this is a helpless thing.

Shentai Mingxue knows that people have a strong exclusivity. The simplest example is in the twenty-first century. Geography, language, habits, and even what you eat can create conflicts that distinguish the boundaries between yourself and others.

What's more, in the future world, humans are completely divided into two species, ordinary humans and magicians! The superiority of the magicians and the inferiority complex of ordinary people make it impossible for them to live together peacefully. "Staying away" is probably the best way to find it back then and now.

As for the liberation of magicians with economic gain, it is just the empty talk of idealists. Modern technology is enough to realize practical technology and become a necessity for society. The training of the magicians themselves in the manipulation of magic does not allow them to learn as many subjects as ordinary people, and the imbalance between spiritual and material production is also well-founded.

The thought of admiration in her heart was more than her surprise. This is completely a pioneer, a kind of fearless "road" spirit of sacrificing the small self to achieve the big self! ”

"What do you mean, Chairman?" Shao Linan, who was completely confused because of Shentai's words, hesitated for a moment and opened his mouth to ask. His eyes quietly glanced at the Styx beside him, he should have been quite confused.

"Inform Wu Yujun. In the future, whenever Gu Lanshen goes out, he must accompany him. If necessary, Gu Lanshen and Wu Yujun can be asked to share a student apartment during the essay competition. There was a mystery in her words, but she didn't get much response from the people present, which made her feel a little frustrated, and there would probably be no such friends in the future world!

"Yes!" Shao Linan reacted quickly to the side and contacted Wu Yujun, who was in charge of the guard, and he was going to the hospital to apologize for feeling derelict in his duties.

Three days later, she received another report that she was going to submit her thesis to the school tomorrow last night. Ling Qinghuan's home server was attacked, and the other party should be a full-time hacker who steals intelligence. Stubbornly and repeatedly attacked by the other party. Ling Qinghuan had no choice but to start the anti-detection procedure.

In this way, only Zhongli Baiyi, who is in charge of the main writing of the paper, has not become a target, and I don't know if it is gathering momentum? Or did he choose to let it go because of the status of Shangguan Haohui and Zhong Li's family?

During the lunch break, Shenxue visited the student council again, and Zhongli Baiyi was writing a speech in a quiet corner, and the competition paper had been submitted to the Magicians Association for review.

"What do you think about the attack on the server in Ling Qinghuan's home that was reported this morning?" The object of discussion was Shangguan Haohui, and he deliberately lowered his voice to avoid affecting Zhongli Baiyi's state.

"After Ling Qinghuan activated the anti-detection procedure, the other party cut off the connection, and finally could not find the source of the attack." Shangguan Haohui said the result that everyone knew simply and clearly, and there was a little edge hidden under his plain and gentle face.

"That means there was no actual damage, right?"

"Yes."

"Is Zhongli Baiyi okay over there?"

Shangguan Haohui was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and his eyebrows were locked as if he was considering whether there were similar signs, "The protection of Zhongli's home server is the highest level of the military's magic force, and it is impossible to tell whether the attack failed or did not attack!" ”

As one of the twenty-seven families of the Federation, the Zhongli family mansion where the chief of military staff of the Third District lives is naturally "heavily guarded".

"This sensitive period when I have to hand in my paper tomorrow is undeniably related to the essay competition." Yutai Mingxue said seriously that it was a warning, "It's better to inform Zhongli Baiyi, it's better to be careful in everything." ”

Nan Yuhan and Shen Yuehua will also go to the home of the Seven Schools Essay Competition with Shangguan Haohui to watch, they have seen many essay competitions, but it is also the first time they know that the "battle" has started before the competition starts.

"I understand! I originally thought that it was just the level of high school students after all, although the previous battle of the essay contest was a spy, and I thought it was just a tentative attack between the seven schools or an opportunity for bad actors to make some extra money, but I didn't expect that even such an exaggerated thing as invading the network appeared. ”

"Yes, I've checked the records, and the worst ones in the past were theft and robbery. A few years ago, there was a case of students being attacked and injured on their way to the venue, and since then, schools have been sending people to protect the participants in the weeks leading up and down to the essay competition. ”

"Yes, the competition between the seven schools has also begun to go astray!" Shangguan Haohui was quite emotional. It's ridiculous that a magician should be lured into attacking each other by thieves and robbers.

"If it's just the private actions of some people in China, it's easier to deal with." A vigilant look appeared on Shenxue's face, and he emphasized the words, "The key is that [foreign friends] are in a lot of trouble!" ”

Hearing the words of Shenxue, Shangguan Haohui frowned in disgust, "According to the announcement of the investigation received by the Shangguan family, at the end of the month, smuggling cases occurred in the fourth and fifth districts one after another. The military police and the public security department of coastal defense have conducted joint searches. But it didn't get the results it deserved. ”

"During the same period, companies related to the magic industry within the Federation were stolen one after another, and countless economic values and scientific research results were lost."

Shenxue thought carefully for a moment. "I think it's better to give it to the school as a storage device, and of course, I recommend that the school do that."

"Do you think this has something to do with essay contests?"

"Hit the rabbit with the grass and follow the trend. A sheep is a drive. A flock of sheep is also a drive, isn't it? "Yutai Mingxue said a lot of adjectives irresponsibly, I don't care if Shangguan Haohui can understand it, in my heart, according to Shangguan Haohui, the current loss can only be regarded as the economic aspect, because the research results stolen from the enterprise are generally the technology of the Magicians Association to lift the blockade, and so many [international friends] have come. Their goal is certainly not so small.

"Shangguan, be careful when you go to the essay competition!" Yutai Mingxue stood up and pushed the door to leave. Closed the door after saying a faint word, and she didn't need to say anything else, I believe Shangguan Haohui would understand.

At the headquarters of the Discipline Committee after school, Shentai Mingxue explained in detail the ins and outs of the illegal invasion and attack these days, "The next essay contest guard, I hope you will strengthen your vigilance, especially the guards around the members of the essay contest team, Gu Lanshen's matter must not happen." ”

"Yes!" The appointment of Yutai Mingxue has been subjected to the armed assessment of all members of the Discipline Committee, and naturally there is no situation of oral dissatisfaction.

It sounds strange that the activities held by the Wizard High School outside of the school are all guarded by students, but the school thinks that it is appropriate to familiarize the magicians with the work and battles they may face in the future.

"As for the monitoring of the reporting data and the machine, you are responsible for arranging it here, and the Ministry and League Activities Federation will also send someone to assist, because the essay contest will use valuable information [only open to people related to the University of Magic], so you must not be negligent."

"Yes!" Styx stood up expressionlessly and replied, this is meaningless to the others.

"Shao Linan, you are responsible for the defense of the home of the essay competition." This sentence of Shentai Mingxue surprised everyone!

"Yes!" Shao Linan was a little surprised to hear that he was in charge, but his voice was particularly firm in answering, and he would not live up to the trust of the chairman.

Shentai Mingxue explained to Shao Linan in detail, "President Shangguan will also participate in the essay competition, so I stay in the school. In the course of the competition, you should listen carefully to the advice of Chairman Shangguan, and when he participated in the joint security team of the seven schools, he took on the accusation of defending the participants of the school, understand? ”

"Understood!"

"The seniors don't need to be careful, the Discipline Committee is the strongest in the third high school, and I fully trust your combat power, but it is slightly inferior in coordination and communication. In a big event that all seven universities will participate in, I think this is the safest thing. ”

Yutai Mingxue noticed the staring eyes of the people present at Shao Linan, explained slightly, and as her words fell, the seniors also returned to their normal mentality. They have no position to refute the accusations of Shentai.

It was very coincidental that at the time of the meeting of the Discipline Inspection Committee of the Shenxue Kaifeng Discipline Committee, there was an accident again!

In order to make it easy for students to buy materials related to magic practice that are difficult to obtain in ordinary stores, a shopping street around the school is formed that can be called an off-campus market, where almost all the equipment, consumables, books, and miscellaneous goods can be purchased.

At this time, Zhongli Baiyi and Ling Qinghuan went to buy the projection record negatives needed for the essay competition, which were personally protected by Shangguan Haohui, and they were near the school, and the students of the third high school on the road were visible, so Ling Qinghuan's guards were relieved to go back to the meeting!

Shangguan Haohui was standing guard outside the store when he suddenly noticed that a certain line of sight was observing him. Because he didn't feel that someone was following him on the road, he thought that those usual eyes were used to ignoring them.

However, at this time, such an incomprehensible hostile gaze made Shangguan Haohui easily aware that he was negligent. But in public, magic is not suitable!

Just when Shangguan Haohui was hesitating what to do, Zhongli Baiyi and Ling Qinghuan walked out after buying the things they needed.

"I've been waiting...... What's going on? Zhongli Baiyi, who was very familiar with Shangguan Haohui, keenly noticed the abnormality as soon as he saw the expression on his face.

"It looks like someone is watching, and I'm thinking about what to do?" Shangguan Haohui felt that there was no need to hide it, in the past, Zhongli Baiyi had Zhongli Baiyi to deal with these things, and replied honestly.

"Surveillance? There are spies? Ling Qinghuan, who had just been "attacked", obviously overreacted, and interrupted loudly, as if he was deliberately shouting at the illegals to flee quickly.

Just as Zhong had expected, the eyes that were secretly monitoring this place moved away, and the breath gradually faded away.

But Ling Qinghuan was also worthy of being an excellent magician who could participate in the competition, and he looked at the chaotic scene!

"Huh? How is he? Ling Qinghuan immediately caught a familiar figure in the crowd who was running away wearing the same student uniform as him.

"Who is it?" Shangguan Haohui didn't expect Ling Qinghuan to recognize the classmate wearing a uniform just by his back.

"I know! It's Wang Qinqi! Zhongli Baiyi snorted coldly and said with a sneering face full of disdain.

Ling Qinghuan smiled awkwardly, but he didn't deny it.

"Who's that?" Even as the student president, Shangguan Haohui couldn't remember the names of all the students, and certainly didn't plan to do so.

Ling Qinghuan looked at Zhongli Baiyi's mocking expression and didn't want to say it, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Wang Qinqi is the first place in the third-grade theory assessment, and he participated in the third high school essay competition team as an assistant last year, and this year I thought I could become the main writer, but I didn't expect it to be ......."

Shangguan Haohui suddenly realized, so it sees, he is the legendary one, and Shentai Mingxue once described it as "one less person in the dogwood" third-grade theory list?

Because the third high school believes in the supremacy of practical skills, the so-called theoretical top has no status. But obviously, Wang Qinqi thought that the second and third places had joined the competition group, but he failed to win the first place, which was Zhongli Baiyi's special means to target him.
