The teacher's pace was as slow as ever, and Ivan had to borrow some books to speed up his learning. Today is the fourth day of coming to the academy, but one thing that puzzles Ivan is that the academy has not issued any textbooks.

At first, Ivan thought it was just the beginning of school and didn't have time to send it, but now there is no news and there is a big problem.

"Hey, Bill, do you know when the textbooks will be distributed? Ivan asked, touching Bill's arm.

"I've never heard of such a thing. Who are you listening to the gossip?" Bill scratched his head in confusion to show that he didn't understand what Ivan was saying.

"Shouldn't it? How can there be no textbooks for learning, how can this be learned, there is no way to preview or review. What do we compare with what the teacher says? What if the teacher makes a mistake. Ivan couldn't admit it.

"Isn't that what you say, how can the teacher be wrong? Bill was baffled by Ivan's thoughts and didn't want to say anything more.

"I said, what are you two talking about, you two are talking about it below, you can't talk after class, ask the teacher if you have any questions, don't get in the way of classroom discipline!" the teacher of the Fundamentals of Magic class was obviously a little angry.

Ivan originally wanted to ask the teacher, but when he saw that the teacher was angry, he endured it and didn't say anything. Wait until Ms. Lucia's class is over and find a chance to ask. It may be something of common sense, or it may be something that is lacking in the world. Ivan felt that he needed to understand clearly, but fortunately he was young, otherwise asking such a question might attract suspicion from others.

Ivan deliberately looked at the other students, half of them were taking notes with their notebooks, while the other half were varied, some with a board, some with cloth, and some with nothing. And these don't look like wealthy people by how they dress. Is paper more precious here?

Ivan took his notebook and looked at it carefully. The material is indeed not like the previous paper, and the paper is more tough. The pen used is not a quill either, but more like a special fountain pen. There must be some mystery in this.

"Which classmate, don't be staring at your pen, just now whispering in class, and now staring at the pen again. It seems that you think you have everything in your hands, so stand up and answer the questions. ”

The teacher's words pulled Ivan back from his thoughts, and sure enough, the two worlds still have something in common, that is, the teachers' methods are still so consistent.

"Ask the student to answer the requirements for becoming a full-fledged mage. You can go into more detail. ”

Obviously, this is a comprehensive question, and it is not easy to answer all of them. This makes it easier for the teacher to identify problems and conduct critical education.

"Intuitively, it's the ability to unleash first-order spells. ”

"Isn't this nonsense!"

"That's it. ”

......

Seeing the coaxing below, the teacher's face was a little ugly, "Don't say something meaningless, this is not the answer." ”

"I'm just talking about people's perception of magicians, and I haven't gotten to the point, who knows that some people have such bad qualities, and they start to interrupt before anyone finishes speaking. ”

"Well, don't interrupt when someone answers a question, this is the basic quality of being a student. Also, please don't pant too much when you speak. ”

The teacher saw that the scene was a little ugly, so he stopped the conversation. The few students who coaxed were embarrassed, after all, they would not feel good if they were said to be of poor quality.

"Uh-huh, where did I say?"

"A formal mage is someone who can unleash first-order spells. ”

"In that case, how to achieve the release of a first-order spell is the key content. There are two prerequisites for magic to be unleashed. First, there is a certain affinity for the elements, and it is said that only by being able to clearly perceive and manipulate the elements can there be magic. Second, there is a certain degree of spiritual power, which is probably to be able to control the elements. The two complement each other. ”

"With these two conditions, you need a certain amount of magical knowledge, and you also need to cultivate and improve both. Cultivating spiritual power requires meditation, and cultivating magic requires the construction of magical circuits. Then there is the learning of spells, which are launched by a magic array composed of magic symbols and magic trajectories. ”

"The unleashing of a spell requires the construction of its own mana, which then communicates with the elements and blesses the spell through chanting. If you can successfully release it, you will be a full-fledged magician. Ivan told all that he knew.

"You are generally right, but you should not be proud of it. There is no room for error in magic, and the slightest omission will lead to failure. The teacher waved Ivan to sit down.

"Ivan says a lot, but I have to add one more point. When the spiritual power and magic power are qualified, the release of magic can still be achieved without completing the meditation cultivation and the construction of the magic power circuit. However, the Academy does not support this. ”

"Mental power and magic power are the foundation of a magician, and laying a good foundation is the most important thing. What's more, most of the students' mental power and magic power are not outstanding, and it is very dangerous and difficult to learn to release spells when the two are not sufficient. ”

"So the academy doesn't teach spells in the first year. Of course, individual students with good grades can apply to teachers. ”

Most people were a little disappointed when they heard the news, and a few were a little eager to try. However, the atmosphere in the class was lively, and Ivan had to admire that the teacher had two brushes.

"It's still necessary to listen to the teacher. Ivan thought to himself that after he came here and learned that supernatural power existed, he had been anxious. Shouting to become a sword master without knowing anything is the best manifestation of this. Let's start by laying the groundwork.

It's finally time for the beautiful teacher's class, and the teacher is still as beautiful as ever! Lucia's class is definitely the most popular class in the fire department. People often say don't judge people by their appearance, but there are often very few that can really be done.

Young students will have fantasies about beautiful or handsome teachers of the opposite sex. Of course, this respect has nothing to do with disrespecting the teacher, it is purely instinctive. Ivan also has some impulses, but after understanding that there is no play, he just "simply" appreciates. Ivan himself thought so.

Today's Lucia spoke about the nature of the fire element. However, the difficulty lies in the understanding of the concept. Of course, this is not a problem for Ivan. Finally stayed up until the end of class, this was the first time Ivan was eager for the end of the beautiful teacher's class. After class, I hurried to the teacher.

"Come on, little Ivan, seeing that you are restless in class, you know that there is something looking for me, is there any important knowledge that you don't understand?" Before Ivan could speak, Lucia took the lead in asking.

"Well, the teacher still understands me. Actually, it's not a big deal, but I don't understand, why doesn't the academy have any teaching materials as a place of education for magicians?"

"Textbook, is it a teaching book?" asked Lucia, confused. She didn't quite understand what a textbook was.

Forget it's a new word. Ivan hastened to explain: "It's about the same, but it's not the same. Let's put it this way, why don't the students compile the content they need to learn into a book and hand out a copy by hand? This is not only convenient but also efficient. Students can preview before the class and review after the class. It's about watching first, listening, and then watching. ”

"You really don't understand that the world is difficult, too, of course you don't know that you have lived the life of a young master since you were a child. Lucia was angry and amused at Ivan's question.

"Do you know how precious paper and books are? Just one inch thick blank book costs two silver coins. Do you know how many silver coins they are?" said Lucia, holding out two white and tender fingers.

"Oh no, I mean the cost of a day's meals. Ivan guessed embarrassedly.

"It's a civilian's monthly expense!" Lucia said hatefully.

"Why is it so expensive, although I don't know much, but shouldn't books and paper be very cheap?"

"Cheap, I have nothing to say to you, young master!" Lucia angrily turned and left.

Ivan felt that he had messed things up, and the favorability of the beautiful teacher was finally brushed up, but now it is all yellow. However, Ivan didn't expect Lucia to react so much. Could it be that she used to be poor?

Without further thought, Ivan decided to go out on his day off to see what was actually going on. Books are so expensive Ivan really didn't expect that there must be some reason for this, maybe this small aspect can also reflect the difference between the two worlds.

When the time came in the evening, Ivan, who had eaten dinner, had to find Lei's teacher Leting to tutor again. Due to the small number of Lei students, each student will be taught by the teacher for a long time. Overall, the pressure on Ivan's three initiates was further reduced.

I knocked on Mr. Leting's door, and the teacher had already eaten dinner.

"Hello teacher, I'm sorry for you tonight, I'm glad you're willing to tutor me. Ivan thanked the teacher again.

"Come on in, it's rare that you have the courage to find a teacher for tutoring. Ordinary students don't dare to trouble the teacher, but you are an exception. ”

"Isn't this my own need, I can't achieve my goals if I don't ask the teacher to be thick-skinned. "Ivan gave full play to the invincibility of the world. If you trouble three teachers to help you with your tuition, it is estimated that there will not be a second one in the college.

"This is the magic loop scroll of the thunder system, and the number of people in the thunder system is small, so each student can use it more times. Letin took out the magic circuit scroll and handed it to Ivan.

"Mr. Leting, is this magic scroll more expensive? I mean the cost of materials and the cost of production. Instead of using the scroll, Ivan raised his own questions.

"Of course, the establishment of the academy was funded by the royal family, and there was a large expenditure every year. Don't look at the fact that you pay a lot of tuition, it's just a cost. Leting took a sip from the teacup on the table.

"Not to mention the academy facilities, all kinds of magic scrolls alone are a big expense. Not only are the materials expensive, but the production is not easy, and it is not uncommon for the scroll to fail. ”

"Each reel is used about a hundred and ten times, and new reels are needed every two or three days. And the cost price of each scroll is two gold coins. Note that it is the cost, and it will cost you four to five gold coins to buy. And not necessarily. ”

"Learning magic is a money-burning thing. Ivan sighed.

"Hehe, it's just a drop of water in the tank. I want to be a powerful magician. A good magic cultivation method, meditation is essential, you need a lot of spells to arm yourself from the middle level, you need a lot of magic crystals to progress quickly, magic props are a great determination of the strength of the magician, and the price of any magic prop, tsk......!

Teacher, don't talk about it, let's start tutoring.
