253. Third Lesson
Okay, classmates, it's time to start class. ”
When the campus bell rang again, Merlin stood on the podium and paused with the snake staff in his hand, and in the crisp sound of the tip of the staff colliding with the ground, he took a deep breath, and then spoke to the students who had quieted down.
This is his third class, and the first two classes he taught enlightenment and meditation respectively, but these two classes are actually the same as the regular class meeting at the beginning of the ordinary class, which is the foundation of the foundation.
And from this third class now, this batch of freshmen has officially begun their wizarding apprenticeship journey in Aldrich's Occult Academy.
In this lesson, they are about to choose and learn the first witchcraft of their lives, and this also means the beginning of their transcendent path, when they have officially mastered the power of witchcraft, they will truly separate themselves from ordinary people, and officially become a member of the mystical side of the transcendent.
"Okay, looking at your impatient expressions, I'm sure you also know the content of this lesson, that's right, from this lesson onwards, we will officially start learning witchcraft."
Merlin looked at the group of students in the stands, their eyes flashing with excitement and curiosity, and he said with a smile.
He is quite familiar with these eyes, and in his previous life, every time he saw that the new plastic man's wife's express delivery was about to arrive home, he also looked at it.
However, not all students are so excited, for example, those children born in wizard families are quite calm, for those "witch" freshmen who awaken halfway, witchcraft symbolizes mystery and transcendence, but for this group of children of the family, witchcraft is something they have been exposed to and accustomed to since birth, so naturally there is nothing to be excited about.
In addition to this group of children from the family, the school bully girl on the other side, Cinderella, is also extraordinarily calm, and now she is still slightly red, her eyes are a little trance, and she is rarely a little inattentive and deserted.
Hawkers, for this precious apprentice of his own, Merlin actually has nothing to teach, after all, as far as he knows, Cinderella is almost finished learning half of the basic witchcraft in this semester's textbook, and I believe that it will not take a few days for her to fully master all the basic witchcraft in the textbook.
You must know that the school's final exam requirements for these freshmen this semester are only to be proficient in any of the many witchcraft in a textbook.
In terms of the mystical complexity of witchcraft, a normal freshman with no foundation can master and use a witchcraft proficiently in one semester.
After all, the difficulty of learning a complete witchcraft is like asking a primary school student who has just begun to learn words to write an essay independently, and his first essay may not be able to write it completely for a semester.
Of course, once you get started, then you ask him to write a second essay, and the third essay will be faster.
The same is true for the study of witchcraft, when you can use the first witchcraft proficiently, the next level of witchcraft will also be twice the result with half the effort, and you can quickly get started, after all, the basic runes that make up witchcraft are actually similar, but the difference in the position and order of the runes is just the difference.
Normally, basic runes are enough for these freshmen to study for a whole semester, but Cinderella has mastered it almost in one night, and on the day of school, she has even successfully cast her first sorcery, the Upside Down Charm, which is used to open the gates to the Moonshadow Lake.
Merlin has nothing to say about such a terrifying talent, he can only sigh that people are different after all, and there is really no reason for such things as talent and talent.
But one thing to say, although Cinderella is so good that Merlin, a teacher, is very happy and proud, but in the same way, a genius disciple like the professor is actually not happy at all, because she doesn't need anything to teach her as a teacher at all, as long as she gives her a book, she can basically learn everything by herself.
This teacher really has no sense of existence and pride, but fortunately, Merlin, a traverser, still has a little otherworldly knowledge in his stomach to suppress this too smart apprentice, otherwise his teacher will really have no majesty at all.
Fortunately, when he looked away from Cinderella's genius apprentice and saw Alice next door with "I'm a little fool who doesn't like to learn" and Diana who said "I'm really just an ordinary smart person", Merlin regained his self-confidence as a teacher for these two "normal" apprentices.
Next to it is the red who is idle and bored to come to class to play and her good friend Elizabeth, as a senior student, Hong has naturally mastered a lot of witchcraft for a long time, and she is now like a junior high school student who has come to the classroom of a primary school student, with a sense of superiority, and Elizabeth next to red has the same expectation and novelty in her eyes as ordinary people.
"Ahem..... Okay, I can understand the expectations of my classmates, but before I start to choose witchcraft and study, as a teacher, I still want to emphasize a few points in the spirit of being responsible for your life. ”
After a rough glance at the students in the class, Merlin coughed lightly, cleared his throat, and said.
"First of all, I would like to ask you to ask yourself, what are you struggling with to learn witchcraft for, and do you have any plans for your future life after becoming a wizard?"
Hearing Merlin's inexplicable question, the students in the class suddenly raised their heads in confusion, looking at him with some incomprehension, not understanding why he asked this.
Although there are older children like Cinderella, Diana or Elizabeth who are awakened and are almost adults, there are more young girls who are about the same age as Alice, and the future life plans or dreams are too far away for these half-grown children who are not yet mentally mature, and they have never thought about this problem.
Merlin continued to patiently explain this.
"Well, you may think it's a bit early to start thinking about it, but on the mystical side you have to make a choice ahead of time, which will greatly affect your choice of getting started with witchcraft and your future path as a wizard."
"Those ordinary students can wait until they graduate to think about what jobs to find in the future, what plans they have, but we wizards are a little special, after all, the witchcraft system is too large and complex, plastic energy, blessings, curses, potions, alchemy, summoning, transformation, necromancy, etc. are too many, even long-lived wizards can't be proficient in all witchcraft alone."
"So this means that we have to learn to make trade-offs, we have to decide what kind of witchcraft you want to major in the future at the beginning of your studies, and then you have to go all out to study this major after the rest of your studies, so that you can go as long as possible in your limited life."
"And the choice of majoring in witchcraft is not random, which will largely determine the direction of your future employment after graduation, in order to prevent you from choosing the wrong major in witchcraft, and finally complaining that this witchcraft is not convenient for employment or something after graduation, I personally recommend that you think about what type of job you want to do in the future."
"For example, if you want to go to the battlefield, then major in the plastic energy department or the blessing system, if you don't like to fight and want to become a logistics staff, then choose potions or alchemy or something..."
Merlin gave an example.
Although it looks like a bit of a drama, even a wizarding school is inseparable from the future employment problem, students will definitely have to find a job after graduation, and the choice to major in witchcraft on the mysterious side is as important as the choice of major in his previous life.
As a nurturing teacher, Merlin felt compelled to teach his students about life lessons before they chose to major in witchcraft, emphasizing how serious the issue really was.
