Chapter XIV Discussion
The first floor of the villa is used by the host to entertain guests, so the space layout of the hall on the left side of the first floor is very spacious, and the rotunda is connected to a dozen small living rooms.
When the two arrived, a dozen boys and girls about Victor's age were sitting around a large round table, debating something with red faces, oblivious to their arrival.
"Victor, I still have things to do......"
Dean whispered goodbye, turned and left the hall.
After listening to the apprentices' arguments, which were all theoretical, Victor, who was not very interested, quietly sat down in a comfortable chair on the side, opened the journal Nature, and began to read carefully.
Turning to the title page, I was greeted by a neat line of flowered words: "The nature I see is a magnificent structure, and we, as mages, can only grasp it to a very limited extent...... Therefore, a thoughtful teacher must have a sense of 'humility' in this regard. ”
With a slight fluctuation of emotion, Victor continued to turn the pages backwards.
"Table of Contents page? Well, I'll have to see...... What kind of articles do mages write in this world......"
Looking up, rows of familiar article titles appeared in Victor's field of vision.
"Blood Circulation and Fluids" ......"
"On the Influence of the Three Laws of Motion on the Protective Spell Model" ......"
"Some Doubts about the Theory of Elements" ......"
"'Heat' is a substance" ......"
""Skillful Use of Projective Geometry to Build a Magic Model of the Illusion System" ......"
"The Importance of Symbols in Places of Numbers" ......"
"Miracle in the Drop of Water - Ultra-Miniature Life"
“……”
Victor quickly used the "Great Encyclopedia" in the superbrain information storage module to make analogies and analyses.
After only half an hourglass, Victor came to a rough conclusion.
"Classical mechanics? Algebra? Has the Continental Magic Society's research on 'truth' come to this point? Victor muttered to himself, "It's almost the same as the Renaissance in the previous life......"
"Alas, I'm still exposed to too little information! I can't have an intuitive and comprehensive understanding of the entire system of magical research......"
While reading carefully, Victor consulted and compared the information recorded in the information storage module, deepening his understanding of the world bit by bit.
"Huh? You see, there's a newcomer? ”
"Yes! I didn't even notice ......"
"Looks like we're about ...... age"
"Well, he's definitely a mage apprentice too!"
“……”
The sound of approaching footsteps on the floor of leather shoes interrupted Victor, who was immersed in a sea of books.
"Hello, new companion!"
Victor folded the Nature in his hand, stood up from his seat, and responded politely, "Hello." ”
Standing in front of Victor was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old tall young man with a slight arrogance, and he saw an aristocratic smile on his face, and said loudly: "I think Your Excellency, like most apprentices, is learning the modern magic system, right?" If you have any questions about the modern magic system that is just emerging, you can ask me. ”
"Okay, if I have any doubts......" Victor bowed slightly, expressing his gratitude.
After the two got to know each other, they had a brief exchange.
Hobbes pointed to the apprentices sitting around the round table and asked, "Mr. Victor, I wonder if you would be interested in joining us in this discussion?" ”
"Oh? What is being discussed? Victor feigned curiosity.
"How does the modern magical system facilitate the study of spells?" Hobbes said in a proud tone: "The main thing is that I am answering some of the common sense questions that I can ...... to you."
"Sounds great! But I don't know much about the modern magic system, so I might just be a listener. ”
Seeing Victor's "hesitant" expression, Hobbes comforted: "It's okay! As long as you join our 'circle'......"
With that, the two of them went to the round table one after the other, and Hobbes introduced them to Victor one by one.
Sitting at the round table, Victor thought back to the message he had just spoken to Hobbs, and he was sensitively aware of something very obscure.
"Circles? Hehe, interesting......"
……
"Did you understand my explanation of the three laws of motion?"
Hobbes, with his hands crossed and his arms propped on the table, looked around and said with some arrogance: "This knowledge is the most basic thing, it can be said that it is an important foundation of the modern magic system, and I hope that you should understand it as much as possible......"
As he spoke, he patted his forehead exaggeratedly, "By the way, Mr. Victor, you just joined the discussion, and I forgot that you haven't been exposed to these new ideas......"
"I don't think so!"
A long-haired female mage apprentice sitting on Victor's right hand pointed to the crusty book on the table in front of Victor, "You see, Mr. Victor is already reading Nature...... Hobbes, didn't you say that this is a very advanced academic journal? ”
Victor froze slightly, he didn't expect the crowd to consciously target him.
Hobbes smiled unnaturally and turned to Victor and asked, "Was it my negligence...... Now that Mr. Victor has studied the modern magic system, I wonder if you would like to share your learning experience with everyone? ”
"These bear kids!!" Victor cursed secretly in his heart, but replied quietly on his face: "This copy of Nature was borrowed from Lord Rosa, just to satisfy a little curiosity below, where is the experience?" ”
Victor's explanation was accepted by most people, who didn't believe that a random new person came in more than they knew. However, no matter where you are, there will always be a few people who like to make trouble.
"Mr. Victor, you are so modest!"
The long-haired female mage apprentice asked nonchalantly, "Or ...... You don't want to share your gains with everyone? ”
"Yes! Mr. Victor, I have a little question here......"
Another male mage apprentice with a round face echoed in and said, "Mr. Hobbes and all of us just now gave an example: the principle of the zero-ring spell 'Projectile' is most closely related to the three laws of motion. But I was so stupid that I didn't understand the connection between the two...... Please also ask Mr. Victor to explain it to me in detail! ”
Without Victor's explanation, Hobbes also smiled and said, "In that case, please don't cherish yourself in the broom!" Otherwise, you're looking down on us......"
A few people said a word, and I held Victor high, for fear that he would not fall hard enough.
Victor took a deep breath, and he didn't know where he had offended these guys.
"Since you want to trouble me, then I don't have to be too polite!!"
Standing up slowly, Victor said in a deep voice: "Okay, then I'll tell you about my experience......
