Chapter 97: For Arcane!
It was late at night.
In the living room of the Sefolosa estate.
Orondo and four friends get together to discuss the school.
The school is divided into four faculties.
Solan Lian, Neras Elam, Ansrem Ruinvivol, and Kel'thugad, each serving as the deans of a college.
The names of the four houses, Orondo had originally intended to be named after the four first deans, as in a wizarding world.
But Kel'thugad had a suggestion.
"The world is made up of four elements, and arcane energy is in the middle. Why not name the four houses after the Four Elements, with Orondo as the principal to reconcile the four houses? β
Kel'thugad rarely said such long words, and the longer his words were, the more his friends would take his opinion into account.
Elam was the first to agree.
"Wind, water, fire, earth. Building the foundation of our world! Named after the elements, it symbolizes that our school is also a small world! β
Ansrem Ruinwivol and Solan Lian are all right, especially Solan Lian, who doesn't have much idea about school.
It's Orondo's ambition and career, and that's why she's so dedicated.
"Good! The names of those four colleges are named after the four elements! If you want to use it, use the name of the most powerful element! Olakil Academy, Therazane Academy, Ragnaros Academy, Neptulon Academy! β
Neras Elan nodded as he asked a new question: "The four colleges have separate admissions. What are the criteria for selecting students? What if there is a genius apprentice and everyone grabs it together? β
Very easy to deal with!
Orondo has "experience".
He reached for a glowing orb.
It was a magical creation created with his insight, combined with Elunis' knowledge, and with the help of the Eye of Truth.
"I named it Sorting Ball! When students first arrive at school, they need to go through a "sorting ceremony"! The ritual involves touching the orb, and the orb will tell everyone which college the student should go to! β
Orondo shamelessly plagiarized the brainchild of four wizards.
"As for the criteria of the Chamber. The selection criteria are based on the student's personality, energy phase, and the requirements of the four deans for the student! β
"For example...... Kel'thugad likes smart students, so you can use "smart" as an important criterion for selecting apprentices! "Sorting Ball" will single out the bright students. β
"Who doesn't love smart students...... Those who are not wise are not worthy of a mage. Neras Elan muttered.
Well, the standards of Azeroth mages are indeed different from those of Hogwarts wizards.
If you're not smart, you can't be a mage in Azeroth. This is different from the Hogwarts wizards who look at character and blood.
With Harry and Ron's qualifications, or the IQs of most Gryffindor and Hufflepuff students, they couldn't be mages in Azeroth.
"I'm just giving an analogy. It's better to divide students in a sorting ceremony than to pick and choose for yourself. Orondo said casually.
"Genius idea!" Ansrem Ruinwivol said, "I agree. β
Solan Lian and Kel'thugad would not object, nor did Neras Elam.
"Come on. Hold it and put the type of student personality you each want, or what kind of student you want to produce. Enter your thoughts! It's up to it to pick the students in the future! β
Elam picked up the sorting ball first.
He said to himself: "Diligence and hard work, courage and boldness, and enthusiasm that never fades like a flame can gain a firm foothold in this stormy world!" My academy name is Ragnaros, Flame Academy! Don't rob me! β
Solan Lian the second.
She whispered, "Stand tall and see far." You can look at the starry sky and look down on the earth. Never stop, I'll name my college after Olakill. β
Ansrem the third.
"I love the earth. Smooth and inclusive, not aggressive, not cowardly. The name of my college is Thrathane. β
Kel'thugad last.
He didn't have a choice.
His words were short, and he held the orb and said the name of the last elemental lord: "Nepturon." β
Orondo was delighted.
The prototype of the school finally appeared.
He said, "The four colleges are equal! Each of you recruits students according to your own aspirations, manages the school, and guides the future of students. Friendly and fair college competitions can also be carried out. β
After saying this in one breath, he looked at the other four deans, and then continued: "The school is a whole to the outside world, and the students also study the same courses, but the college is relatively independent, and each college has its own emblem, flag, and uniform, and these signs will be engraved in the heart of every student and accompany him for life." In order to stimulate the students' enthusiasm for the glory of the college, I even suggested the establishment of the House Cup. β
ββββββ
"How do you determine which house is better? Who can get the House Cup? Ansrem said.
"That's easy," Orondo said. We use a magic hourglass for scoring. School professors and teachers give points to each college according to the performance of students in each college. At the end of each year, the college with the highest score wins the House Cup! β
"What about the emblem, flag, and uniform?" Elan asked excitedly.
"Go back and design! However, I would suggest that it should be related to the name of your own college. For example, Elam, your Ragnaros Academy, I think it would be more appropriate to use the color of the flame. Orondo said.
"I've got it done."
Kel'thugad said suddenly.
With a wave of his hand, a blue water elemental symbol appeared in the airβthe symbol of the water element in the arcane runes. It is also sometimes used by mages to refer to Neptulon.
He didn't design it at all.
Use the most basic water elemental runes directly.
"I've got it designed, too." Solan Liane didn't have the same enthusiasm as Elan.
She used the most basic runes of the wind elemental, the same as Kel'thugad.
Ansrem originally wanted to design it, but when he saw his friend and Solan Lian doing this, he followed suit: "Then I'll make it simpler." β
One of the most basic earth elemental runes, the symbol of Thrathane.
Elan: "......"
"You're all like this, what can I do to keep from deviating?" Neras Elan said helplessly.
With a wave of his hand, a rune symbolizing Ragnaros floated above him.
That's fine.
Orondo nodded to himself.
The headmaster thought for a moment, and with a slight wave of his hand, the elemental runes above the heads of the four heads gathered together, arranged neatly and inlaid in a circle.
"In that case! The school emblem is simply like this! The four elements form the basis of the world. With the map of our planet as the main body, inlaid with four-element runes, this is our school crest! β
Everyone was unanimous in favor. The five people raised their hands at the same time, and the school emblem formed by mana fluttered high-
"For the Arcane!"
