Intermission 4: Lesson 1
In the large lecture hall, there were a few students, they were not very old, but they could see the strength of hard work on their faces, and the girl from the far east was also sitting in this classroom, and today was her first lesson in this London Magic Society.
"Hello everyone, I am everyone's mentor, Elmeloy II, today's introduction to magic class, I will explain to you."
There was applause from the stepped seats.
"Everyone comes from all over the world, and they have already mastered the magic of their respective families, and you may ask, why do you still listen to the introduction to magic when you are already a magician?" Elmeloy II paused, looking up at the small number of students.
"So, before I give a lecture, I would like to ask you if you know any other 'mysteries' besides the 'mysteries' that you know belong to your respective families?"
"Just kidding...... How is this possible to know ......"
"How can the secrets of other families be known to outsiders......
Listening to the whispers of the students, Ermelo II smiled in anticipation.
"This is the meaning of the existence of this lesson, so that everyone can re-understand magic and re-understand the concept of 'mystery'." As he spoke, Ermelo II opened the handout.
"When it comes to mystery, everyone's first reaction may be a fantasy beast like a Pegasus, a dragon, or something. But if I tell you that astrology is a mystery to observe the stars in the sky and make predictions, to look at palms to see the condition of your palms is mysterious, and to know the zeros and tarot cards are mysterious, I think your face must be revealed, 'This is a mystery!' 's expression. ”
When Ermelo II looked up, he was stunned, but he only smiled.
"Since there is mystery, there are those who study mysteries, and they call the doctrine of mystery Occultism. Refers to supernatural metaphysics in general, that is, the study of mystical powers. It also refers to the study of "secret knowledge" or "hidden knowledge". ”
At this time, the students in the seats were no longer at a loss, and one by one they held pencils in their hands and listened attentively to the lecture of Ermelo II.
"The occult is not just magic, but a comprehensive field from origin to history, from theory to practice. Learning it well will allow you to get twice the result with half the effort when learning magic. ”
"It is divided into the following research directions." As he spoke, Ermelo II flipped the page of the handout.
"1. Esotericism: Elevating one's spiritual practice, i.e., knowing yourself. Know thyself, this is the golden inscription of the Temple of the Oracle of Apollo. We need to sublimate this understanding into gnosis, which is the wisdom of our own nature. Self-nature is to seek the divine light that will eventually be encountered within. Divine light is not a literal light, but a dimension of oneness between the individual and the Word. It will bring you the triple life changes of Gnosis, Soul, and Body. It boils down to the contradictions and opposites between the external and the internal, and converges at a mysterious point. To know yourself, you can only understand, not speak. ”
"2. Cosmology: Understanding the principle of all things. Exploring the structure of the material world, its origins, and the changes in the earth, the following are the areas of occult exploration: the world of ores, the world of plants, the world of animals, and the world of man. ”
"3. Esoteric psychology: understanding the condition of human beings themselves. Compared with the "body" and "mind" of modern psychology, the theory evolved from Aristotle's "metaphysics". ”
"4. Prediction: Seek good fortune and avoid evil in behavior. The common ones can be divided into 3 categories - magic numbers: astrology, spiritual numbers, etc.; Props: tarot, pendulum, pendulum, etc.; Self-ability: Psychic vision, psychic medium, etc. ”
"5. Magic: Change the world with your own power. There is no need to elaborate on this. ”
"Someone once said, 'The boundaries of science are the starting point of the occult, leading us to explore more unknowns.' However, today, even the movement of celestial bodies, which is regarded as a core part of occultism, can be seen in the media every day, and the position of the celestial bodies and the changes of the seasons can be found. Or is it the quest for secret treasures that we often see in movies, even against angels and demons, including dragons, who can say that this is mysterious? ”
Looking at the stunned students, Ermelo II spoke eloquently.
"Therefore, I only hope that after learning this knowledge, you can treat the once 'mysterious' events as 'ordinary knowledge' and find your own purpose and life orientation from it. Live a meaningful life while maintaining a balance of mind and body. A healthy and happy life is the key to a magician's perseverance! ”
The audience burst into applause, and although it was not loud due to the small number ~~~~~~of people, every student was sincerely praising their instructor with a warm heart.
After class, outside the door of the lecture hall
"It's worthy of a lord-level mentor.,Ten years ago, he proposed the theory that the strength of magic is not determined by bloodline.,Now it's proposed that the strength of the mystery is not completely determined by the ancient rarity.,Ah~~~~~~ it's so powerful~~~~~~~~" Rin praised it from the bottom of his heart.
"Well, I didn't expect ............ either" Saber thought for a long time, unable to understand how the little man ten years ago had grown to the present.
"By the way, I have an appointment today, can you accompany me~~~~Saber?" Rin looked at Artoria.
"No problem." Crisp answer.
"Speaking of which, this time it's for you to have an appointment~~~~ The other party can be regarded as a more famous puppeteer~~~~~" Rin, who walked in front, was full of youthful vitality. ”
"For me?" The glowing floor reflected Saber's puzzled face.
"Yes~~~~ It's very difficult for me to supply magic alone~~~~~~ I don't feel at ease when I add others in~~~~~ "Of course Rin knows what kind of virtues magicians are.
"And then?"
"I've decided to make you a custom doll and have you attached to it, which will greatly reduce the mana cost of daily maintenance," Rin snapped her fingers, seeming to approve ~~~~~of the decision.
"Then ...... today"
"It's the day to measure the size~~~~~~~" Rin stopped walking to an office-like house.
"Dangdangdang~~~" is very light, and people feel very polite when they hear it.
"Please come in." Inside the room, a melodious voice with a mature voice came.
"Sorry to interrupt, Miss Aosaki." Rin pulls Saber through the door and enters.
"It's okay, please be seated." Miss Aoizaki motioned for the two of them to take their seats in the guest seats.
"This is your Servant? The ~~~~~ of Saber's rank" Aozaki looked at Saber with interest.
"Well, this is Miss Aosaki, the magician who is about to make a doll for you." Rin introduces Saber to Miss Aosaki, who is not very old but full of maturity.
"Hello, just call me Orange, because there is a stupid sister at home, and if you call Aosaki, it will be easy to get confused." Orange said generously to Saber.
"Hello, Miss Orange." Saber was still a little reserved.
"Very good, your Servant, even I've heard some of her stories." Orange slowly chatted with the two.
"Oops, I'm really embarrassed~~~~~" Rin smiled awkwardly, after all, being judged or something, no matter what, it's not a glorious thing, Saber's words, it is estimated that eighty percent will be regarded as a leak by others, and I don't know how many people are secretly jealous of their winning the lottery.
"Actually, I'm a little grateful to you, I have some chores to deal with at home recently, and I want to go back to Japan, and after you finish this order, the financial problem can be alleviated a lot~~~~~
"Ah~~~ Hahahaha~~~~~~ Rin smiled awkwardly.
"Don't worry, I will definitely make a very good doll for you, after all, it is a customer who sends charcoal in the snow~~~~" Orange crossed her hands and looked at Rin and Saber with great affinity.
"The matter of measuring so much......
"It's over, from the moment I saw her." Looking at Rin, who was a little surprised, Orange smiled slightly.
"Thank you so much, look at the funds......"
"I'm sorry to pay in full this time, and I have to pay in advance, and I can use my reputation to vouch for the quality." Orange said it to death.
"In that case.................. Then please. With an OL professional smile, Rin made the deal.
"It's a pleasure to work with." Orange held out his hand.
"It's a pleasure to work with." The two hands were clasped together.
