138. Initiation begins
Once again, the melodious bells echoed through the campuses, and it was time for class.
Merlin stood on the podium of the classroom and looked at the group of students standing below, the number was not large, that is, a dozen, much less than the fifty or sixty students in the class when he was in school in his previous life.
Among them, Merlin saw a few familiar faces who passed the assessment yesterday, and there were also many new faces that he didn't see yesterday, these are the students who failed the freshman assessment yesterday.
Just as yesterday by posting the news on the admission letter, Merlin has already sent the location of the sixth campus where the Esoteric Branch is located to all the new students of the branch in the same way today, so that these students who did not pass the assessment can successfully find the place to attend classes.
It's just that, compared to those Alice who came once yesterday, these students are obviously a little nervous and uneasy, and they must be worried about whether there will be any bad effects if they fail the exam.
Merlin naturally didn't punish these students or anything, in fact, he preferred these students who didn't pass the exam yesterday to those who didn't pass the exam.
After all, this year's freshman assessment is a bit unfair, and several children from the family have participated.
In previous years, everyone was on the same starting line in the freshman assessment, and in that case, the final selection of students in the assessment was the kind of students who were willing to learn, had a strong interest in magic, and had a strong desire for unknown knowledge, just like Cinderella this time, such people were born to be good seedlings of wizards.
However, this year, because of Cynthia's admission, the major wizard families actually tried their best to send people to the school, these children of the family have been in contact with witchcraft and magic since they were sensible, and they are not the same starting line as those real freshmen at all, like the points of the pentagram in the freshman assessment or something, these children of the family have already learned at home, and putting them in the freshman assessment is like asking junior high school students to take the kindergarten exam, which makes no sense.
Strictly speaking, Cinderella is the only one who has passed the freshman assessment this time.
As for the others, including Alice, who was found by virtue of her connection to Merlin, or Diana, who was simply by luck, were considered cheaters.
In short, a bunch of problem students, Merlin still thinks these ordinary students are a little more pleasing to the eye compared to them.
It's just that he accidentally saw red in the class.,He remembered that this werewolf girl was a senior student.,Is this a class coming? Or did I guess his identity so I came to spy on him?
Merlin guessed in his heart.
Ignoring the overly conspicuous werewolf girl, Merlin first smiled at the ordinary students in a friendly manner, reassuring them a lot, and then there was not much nonsense, he just started the lecture directly after a brief self-introduction.
"All of you are here to learn wizards like this, so in this first lesson, let's first systematically learn the most basic common sense of being a wizard, that is, what is magic and what is magic patterns?"
He opened his mouth and named the topic of this lesson, and such a straightforward opening also shocked the students below and concentrated their attention, except for those children of the family who didn't care much, the others listened quite seriously.
So, Merlin continued.
"Magic is actually the product of the deterioration of life force, and as long as the creature is still alive, then every day of life will naturally lose some of the life force, and when your life force is all lost, then death will come, and those life force lost from the creature will be transformed into magic after leaving the human body."
"If it is an ordinary person, then their life force will be lost, and they have no way to use the magic power transformed by their overflowing life force, so they can only let them drift away with the wind."
"But it's different for everyone here, you all have the talent to become a wizard, and you have a large number of magic patterns that ordinary people don't have, so magic power is not unusable for you."
"The magic pattern is the channel for the circulation of magic power, and it is precisely because of the obstruction of the magic pattern that when your vitality is naturally lost and transformed into magic power overflowing, a part of the magic power is intercepted, and it accumulates along the circulation of the magic pattern, and over time, when the magic power in your body accumulates to a certain extent, it is the so-called magic awakening."
"Everyone here is a 'witch', compared to the magic awakening, after all, when the magic awakens there is always something strange, you will inadvertently exert some extraordinary powers."
Merlin said, quietly observing the students' reactions.
Most of the classmates showed a look of reminiscence, obviously they all had such an experience, only little Alice and Diana were a little confused, she had not yet reached the time to wake up, otherwise there would be no need for Merlin and Cynthia to take them into the mysterious side, and the secret keepers would have already found their house.
Cinderella, who has also not awakened, is thoughtful, her situation is special, the magic of her physical strength has long exceeded the limit of general awakening, and it is only because she has been wearing that pair of sealing glasses that she has not awakened for a long time, but she has experienced the abnormalities due to her magic power, such as when he used to wear sealing glasses, his vision would be blurred, and now after changing his glasses, he will see some strange things from time to time and so on.
After a little digestion by the students, Merlin continued.
"Of course, in the past, you only accumulated a certain amount of magic power by relying on the passive interception of the magic pattern, which is naturally very inefficient, so after that, you have to turn the passive into the active, and start to learn how to intercept more overflowing magic through the magic pattern, and even further absorb the wandering magic power of the outside world directly from the outside world."
"To achieve this, you must start by understanding your patterns."
"The magic pattern is absolutely the most important thing for all wizards, the number of magic patterns will directly determine the efficiency of your accumulation of magic power, and the different attribute biases of the same magic patterns will also determine your talent bias in witchcraft, as long as you understand your own magic attributes, then you will only learn your own suitable witchcraft, then the efficiency will be the highest."
"It's just that it takes a lot of magic to make the magic pattern manifest, and everyone who has just awakened the magic power obviously doesn't have that much magic power, so this needs to use the spirit initiation ceremony to provide a little help."
"You have also seen the magic circle in the middle of the classroom, this is the altar of the enlightenment ceremony, today's lesson is mainly to measure your magic patterns, now please enter the magic circle in order."
Merlin pointed to the circle on the ground and introduced it.
He didn't rush to ask anyone to go up directly, but gave them a little time to digest his explanation just now, and then waited for who would take the initiative to be the first to stand up and enlighten.
"Teacher, I'll come..."
"I...."
Two figures, one large and one small, appeared almost at the same time.
It's Cinderella and Alice....
This made Merlin very pleased, in the end, he was his own disciple, knowing how to support him and trusting him so much.
The magic circle of the Enlightenment Ritual is actually the first to enlighten the spirit, after all, the operation of the ritual will consume the spirituality of the array materials, and it is naturally the best effect when the spirituality of the materials is sufficient at the beginning.
Hehe, these two apprentices are lucky enough to be able to drink a lot of soup.
"Cinderella, you come first."
Merlin Summoner learns to bully the girl's way.
Anyway, at the beginning, the spirituality of the formation was quite sufficient, and there was not much difference between the first and second, so it didn't matter in order, the girl who was a scholar had long legs, and she had a height advantage, and she was the first to be listed, and Alice's little Lori little short legs suffered a little bit, so she could only rank second.
So, Cinderella stepped into the magic circle.
