Chapter 74: History of Magic Lesson
"The world was born out of darkness and was baptized by light to give birth to thousands of lives. At the beginning of the planet, nature appears, and the ten elements harmonize all things. Light and darkness are the origin magic, metal, wood, water, fire, and earth are the five elements of magic, wind and thunder are the weather magic, and ice is the derived magic. We are the fearors of nature, taking from nature and benefiting nature. Time is like an arrow, time is like a shuttle, and thousands of years of magical history have forged today's glorious magical world. ”
Charlie Smith, a seven-water magician and a history of magic teacher at the Red Academy of Elemental Magic, is an amiable old man. With gray hair, antique glasses, a face as rough as tree bark, and a thin body, it's hard to imagine that he was a classmate of Jesse Theron. Although he looks old from the outside, his voice is firm and his steps are powerful, and he is not inferior to those young teachers.
Leaving the park and rushing to the magical history classroom, we remembered that Alex and Josh had been forgotten by us in the small mountain village of the park. The reason for this is Park Ji-woo's fault. After explaining their views on the special training of hide and seek to the students, they agreed and implemented a plan to trap Lele.
"Although the two of them were going to the small mountain village by themselves, I am to blame for forgetting that they said, 'Come to us after the special training'. ”
Kojiro said to Park Ji-woo: "We have counseled them, but they insist on going their own way, saying that they will definitely attract Lele." ”
"They should leave the village, right?"
I replied to Xiao Hui: "Lele asked them to build the destroyed house." ”
"They don't know how to do wind magic, and there's no exit around there......"
Kojiro patted Park Ji-woo on the shoulder: "They will be safe." ”
How big is it, and why are we holding some kind of prayer or memorial service?
There weren't many students in the classroom, and there were thirty-four of us, at least a little more than the students in the practical skills. Students at the college are allowed to wear casual clothes and college uniforms to class, unlike the almost mandatory uniform.
Xiao Hui told me that there is a way to distinguish first-year students from second- and third-year students: "At the beginning of the school year, we always wear uniforms to class if we don't know the rules of the college. So, you can calculate that there are about twenty-five first-year students here. ”
"The senior students are so young. ”
Kojiro replied to me, "People think that history is the past, and after taking the history of magic class in the first grade, they don't have much interest in this subject, so it can be said that it is an unpopular class." ”
"In our system, all three grades can take the same course together, and students choose courses according to their preferences. Anyway, if you have already completed the course, you will either be interested in taking it again, or you will not want to acquire new knowledge. Xiao Hui said.
"Times are changing, and the content of the teachers' lectures is different," Kojiro said, "Although there are shortcomings in our academy's class system, isn't it interesting to teach classes in this way?"
As soon as Kojiro finished speaking, two girls and a boy came up to see Xiao Hui's Dalai Crystal.
"It's fine just to look at it. ”
The three of them are not extremely vicious, they are simply curious to find out. According to them, they were first-year students, and they heard that someone in third-year had received the Treasure of the House at the time of soul selection. Thinking about it, only the junior grades will talk to Xiao Hui with curiosity, and most of the senior grades treat each other coldly.
"Senior, what kind of magic can your soul tool perform?"
Xiao Hui, who was happy to hear the honorific title and worried when he heard the question, replied: "I haven't been able to let the Dalai Crystal show its power yet." ”
"Why?"
Xiao Hui touched his soul apparatus and said, "Probably, I'm weaker." ”
"By the way, the senior is a first-class magician. A girl said to a classmate.
"Class one, it's so weak. The boy was outspoken and was poked with his elbow by two girls.
The other girl smiled and said to Xiao Hui, "Senior, come on, we expect you to become a magician who is proficient in using the Academy's treasures." When the time comes, ask the senior to show us your powerful magic. ”
The three students returned to their seats, and the boy whispered, "It's a waste to give the house's treasure to a class 1 magician."
Xiao Hui's glass heart was shattered again. He leaned on the table to look at his soul device up close, and sighed, "Shouldn't I get the Dalai Crystal?" ”
"Lord Magic Mirror's vision can't be wrong. Xiao Hui, you don't have to think about whether the Dalai Crystal belongs to you. ”
Xiao Hui replied to Park Ji-woo: "I'm not worried about whether the Dalai Crystal belongs to me, I'm afraid that continuing to hold this will involve you in disaster." ”
Xiao Hui turned to me and apologized: "I'm sorry, Yi Jiahe. If I hadn't gotten this, you wouldn't have hurt for me. ”
"It's not your fault, I can only say that I was unlucky, I met the night ghost, I was crippled by the tigress, and finally I met the swamp witch. "Come to think of it this way, after crossing into the wizarding world, I have been in trouble. Perhaps, as Josh said, I am possessed by the god of decay.
"It's you this time, and next time it may be Park Ji-woo, Kojiro......"
"Don't worry," said Kojiro, "the soldiers will come to cover the water." ”
"That's right, there's no hurdle you can't get over. The class bell rings, so let's concentrate on the class. Mr. Smith's lecture was very interesting. ”
Contrary to what Park Ji-woo said, Charlie's class was boring. At first, I was interested in listening, but then I realized that I was hearing things that I didn't understand. Learning is driven by interest, and if the content of the lecture is something that you can't understand, the lesson that is vivid to others will still be boring to you.
"Classmates over there, are my lectures boring?" asked the old man.
"Nope. "Unexpected situations always make people feel refreshed.
"But I saw you yawning and fell asleep. "Smiling Mr. Charlie.
"Lack of sleep at night. "Reasons for foolishness.
The old man with the same name as the hot-blooded boy put the book on the podium and sighed, and the students below all turned to me and cast reproachful glances at me.
"I'm sorry, Smith...... Mr. I'm a bad person in history, and I'm talking about the historical events of the wizarding world that I haven't heard of. You know, I have amnesia and can't remember history. So, I'm sorry. "The more you talk, the worse it gets, and it should be effective to win sympathy with memory lapses.
"Good Happiness ......"
I suspect I misheard.
Smith turned to me and said, "It's like a blank piece of paper that can't remember history, and you're so happy." ”
"Sir?" there was a student calling Smith down there.
The old man was like a big dream and asked me, "Classmate, what do you want me to say?"
Looking at Xiao Hui, I replied, "It's better to talk about the Dalai Crystal." ”
"The Dalai Crystal is written in the History of the Wizarding World, and that's all I know. ”
"So, can you tell me what the Dalai Crystal is for?"
The old man was stunned for a moment and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Since it's a soul device, why can't my classmates use it? Isn't it that the soul device is a doppelganger of the magician's soul, then the Dalai crystal is also a doppelganger of Xiao Hui's soul. Everyone can use their own soul equipment, why Xiao Hui can't use it, I really can't understand it. ”
Smith paced and asked me after going around in circles three times, "Classmate, do you know the history of soul equipment?"
"I've heard of it. "Forget about it.
"Everything has a beginning and an end. The origin of our magical world is actually the origin of the human world, so there is no difference between humans and magicians. The question of what exactly led to the separation of humans and magicians is worth pondering.
"Suppose, the first magician in the wizarding world, let's call him Ah Yi. What kind of person Ah Yi is, we have no way of knowing. However, we can be sure that Ah Yi is the closest person to nature, and he thus derives infinite power from nature. What would he do with his magic for such a magician?" Smith asked me.
"I don't know. ”
"If you were Ah Yi, what would you do?"
"Guard, or destroy. ”
Charlie Smith was shocked, then smiled and said, "I don't know what Ah Yi did. ”
The class sighed.
The old man smiled mischievously: "History is the past, and we are the present." What happened thousands of years ago, we can only trace it back to what we have. Speculating from today's magical world, it is clear that Ah Yi did not do anything earth-shattering. Of course, the most powerful magician of all ended up disappearing, leaving no record in the history of the wizarding world. ”
"Mr. Charlie," I said, raising my hand, "aren't we talking about soul equipment?"
"Ah, I'm sorry," said Smith, who seemed to have Alzheimer's disease, scratching his gray hair, "the history of the Soul Apparatus." When did the soul apparatus appear? Probably at the peak of the wizarding world more than 400 years ago. No, the origin, it should have been much earlier. Maybe there was already the concept of a soul device at that time, but to say that the soul device appeared in the form of a tool in the world, it was really when the sages of the wizarding world were alive. Yes, not one, not two, it should be more. But if there is the most powerful one, a miracle will surely happen......"
Listening to Smith talking to himself again, I was about to collapse and asked Park Ji-woo, "Aren't you bored?" ”
"Listen carefully and you'll find it fun. "Serious Park Ji-woo.
Next, I tried to give my full attention, but failed. I asked how to get Xiao Hui to use soul equipment, and Smith was talking about the history of soul equipment, but why did he get to the peak of the wizarding world, and what does it have to do with the use of Dalai crystals?
"Park Ji-woo, how does the book record the Dalai crystal?"
"The Dalai Crystal, the treasure of the Rhett Academy of Elemental Magic, a soul device created by Rhett Williams himself. ”
"Finished?"
Park Ji-woo nodded intently.
"How did you recognize this information as a symbol of the Academy?"
"There are physical pictures in the History of the Wizarding World, which are exactly the same as Xiao Hui's Dalai crystals, so they can't be fake, right?" Kojiro asked rhetorically.
"There is so little information. Also, if the Dalai Crystal was 'crafted' by the founder of the Academy, it means that Red Williams has other soul devices. The question is: Can a soul device be crafted? Why did Rhett, who has a soul device, Williams want to build a new soul device?"
When Kojiro opened his mouth to scold me for not being able to call Red by his name, Smith below shouted "That's right", waking the sleepy student up.
Then, as if fascinated, Smith walked briskly with his eyes fixed on me, and then stood beside me and said excitedly, "This is the history of our wizarding world, the history that everyone believes in. ”
"What do you mean?"
After I finished speaking, Smith walked to the podium in discouragement like a deflated ball.
"Historical texts. Park Ji-woo said, "There are many ambiguities in the history of our magical world, especially four hundred years ago, which should be called the peak of the magical world. Although there is a clear historical record of this period, as you know, the contradictions are hidden in the text. ”
"No one perceives these contradictions?"
"On the one hand, people have accepted that what happened hundreds of years ago is no longer important to them. On the other hand, existing knowledge continues to perpetuate, and getting in the way of it means that the future is chaotic and people cannot agree. ”
"Park Ji-woo's views are unconventional, but I still can't understand them. Because, that's what I'm seeing. ”
Park Ji-woo smiled at Kojiro and said, "I don't want you to follow me to explore the true text of history, after all, the result may be just a bubble phantom, pure self-deception." In the final analysis, the 'true text of history' is just an assumption for us, because we love history and want to know everything about it. ”
"People think differently from each other. We don't have to pander to others, but we just need to show the most authentic part of ourselves to those who should know. If someone accepts us as such, they are friends, and if they reject us, they are passers-by. Say, why do you think so much of me?"
Kojiro said with a smile: "Kawa looks like a teenager, isn't there really an old soul living in his heart?"
Seeing that I was expressionless (in fact, I just didn't know what expression to reply to him), Kojiro put away his smile and apologized: "I'm sorry." I just feel that you are very similar to my mother, and I can't help but miss my hometown. ”
"Being alone in a foreign land as a stranger, thinking of relatives every festive season. It is better to connect with each other than to miss, and it is better to meet than to meet with each other. I don't think the academy will restrict you from contacting the outside world, right?"
Kojiro replied awkwardly, "No...... My family wanted me to reach Rank 6 in the academy and bring glory to my family. However, I'm only in the second tier now, and I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with the two remaining opportunities in the school. ”
"How's the super level?"
"That's too difficult," Kojiro replied to Park Ji-woo, "There are a few people who can pass the super-level exam over the years, and the probability of one percent, plus the strong ones are like clouds, which is unreasonable." ”
"Excuse me, what's the super-level exam?"
Park Ji-woo replied to me, "The super-level exam is a type of promotion exam. There are two ways for mage students in the academy to advance to the exam, one is the advanced exam that can only be promoted by one order, and the other is the advanced exam that can only be promoted by two levels. After graduation, the royal family approval is required to take the promotion exam, and the difficulty will be much higher than in the school, and there is a limit that you can only take the advanced exam once in three years and one advanced exam in five years. Magicians who can be promoted after graduation are stronger than those who have completed their promotion in the school, and they will definitely be in the news, but there are very few such people. ”
This shows how important it is to grasp the opportunity to take the entrance examination within the school. ”
I turned my gaze from Kojiro to Xiao Hui, and he was lying on the table depressed.
"Xiao Hui, cheer up. ”
"I'm a class ......" the disciplinary committee member was demented.
I wasted my time in a magical history lesson, and I felt guilty. Smith is also responsible, how can he only care about his own broken thoughts, similar to Tang Yiren. If it weren't for the fact that the format of their names was much different, I suspect that Smith and Tang Yiren are related.
As I left my seat, Charlie Smith passed me. This time, he faced Xiao Hui and held up the Dalai crystal necklace and fell into a trance, completely forgetting the existence of the people around him.
"Mr. Smith?" Park Ji-woo called out to him several times.
"Ah, Ji-woo. Why, are you still trying to find the true text of history?"
"Of course," Park said proudly, "this is my agreement with Mr. Smith." ”
"Okay, okay...... But be careful. Don't go too deep and you'll get stuck with it. Like me, I regret it......"
In the end, the old man did not give us a suitable suggestion, but reluctantly put down the Dalai Crystal, and then walked out of the classroom shaking his head while lecturing. Take a hundred plating and read the latest chapter of "Don't Forget the Blessing and Misfortune of the Past Book House" for free for the first time.
