Chapter 289: Epoch-making significance
That night, Alan met Elvis and Miranda again at Isa's home, and the two of them traveled to almost all the refugee gathering areas near Iron Pine Town under Harvey's protection during this period, testing the mental strength of those school-age teenagers one by one, and finally selected fifteen teenagers with relatively stronger mental strength.
The next day, Elvis and Miranda brought the children with the best test results to Isha's home. Looking at the fifteen children in front of him, Allen's heart was filled with a strange feeling, he remembered the scene when he first entered the Imperial Capital Magic Academy, and remembered the scene when the teacher first introduced himself to Elvis, Sean and Elton later. At that time, they were excited and excited because they had been chosen by the Great Magician and that they would become magicians in the future, but the fifteen children in front of them were only afraid in their eyes at this time, and the miserable life not only made them lose their self-confidence, but also made them lose their beautiful vision for the future.
Eleven boys and four girls out of fifteen children, the oldest is sixteen years old and the youngest is only twelve years old, but these children will be the first students of the magic school that Alan has built, just as Alan himself is the first student of the Imperial Capital School of Magic, they will be the foundation of this new magic school, and their achievements will determine the success of Allen's training. So Alan paid special attention to it, and immediately arranged for the servants to bathe them, change into new robes, and arrange for the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous dinner for all the children that night.
"When I was a child, I always thought that the great magician was three-headed and six-armed, until one day the teacher came to my house and I realized that magicians and ordinary people looked no different. Later, after staying with him for a long time, I found out that he was just a good old man, but he liked to be verbose, so we all called him an old man behind our backs. ”
During the dinner with the children that night, Alan saw that the children were very nervous, especially when looking at him with fear in their eyes, and he couldn't help but smile and share some of his feelings when he first started learning magic.
"I testify. Alan was right, he was acting like you are today. ”
Elvis said to the sidelines.
"I'd love to know how you were doing?"
Miranda forked a piece of beef and placed it on the plate of the little girl sitting next to her, then asked.
"I'm different. After all, I came from a big family, and I have seen the world, these are small scenes, and I can cope with them easily. ”
Elvis patted his chest and boasted.
"El, if I'm not mistaken, Teacher Moxika unleashed a fireball magic during her first lecture, and you cried out in fright when the fireball flew right over your head. ”
Alan couldn't help but come out to reveal Elvis's old bottom.
"Nonsense! I cried because I missed my mother. ”
Elvis's explanation was apparently unconvincing, and the children immediately burst into laughter.
"Silence! I am your teacher, and you have to be respectful. ”
Elvis desperately knocked on the knife and fork in his hand, putting on a stand as a teacher, but it drew even more laughter from the child.
The conversation between the three of them finally made the children understand that magicians are not scary, except that they can manipulate magical elements and are no different from ordinary people, and the children's fear finally gradually dissipated, and they behaved casually.
The next day, the school of magic was officially opened, and the school site was Isa's home, and Alan chose a few rooms on the first floor as classrooms, and an auxiliary room in the back yard as a magic laboratory.
The conditions were a little rudimentary, but the school was established after all, and it was the fulfillment of one of Alan's long-cherished wishes, a promise to Famakos to contribute to the future of magic. When deciding on the name of the school, Alan thought it all over and finally decided on:
Ao Gubang Magic Primary School!
In the three hundred and twenty-fifth year of the continental calendar, the predecessor of the Sunset Imperial Magic Academy, the ancient city of Ao Gubang Magic Primary School, was officially established.
Allen served as the first principal, and Elvis served as the vice principal. Including the vice principal, the school has a total of six teachers, of which Alan is responsible for the teaching of magic theory and alchemy, Elvis is responsible for the teaching of water and earth magic, Miranda is responsible for the teaching of fire and air magic, Frank and Sander assist the two in teaching water and air magic, and Feige is the school's assistant teacher.
"We used to stand there like you, listening to our headmaster, Gen Kos, speak for us. ”
On the official opening day, Alan stood at the front of the classroom, pointed to Elvis who was standing next to him, and began his speech:
"At that time, we were the first students of the Yus Imperial Academy of Magic, and we shouldered the ideals and expectations of Mr. X's revitalization of magic. More than a decade later, the seeds planted by the teacher are finally beginning to take root and thrive, and your presence today will make the world of magic even more flourishing. ”
Alan emotionally carried out the opening remarks:
"I think every one of you knows the profession of magician, and you must have heard that magicians can drive electricity and control fire, and call wind and rain, but do you know what magic is?"
Looking at the group of children shaking their heads blankly, Alan continued:
"For hundreds of years, magicians have been a mysterious profession, and magic itself has always been veiled, but magic is not so mysterious, everything we see in the world now is a manifestation of magic, wind and rain, thunder and lightning, the passage of time, magic is the driving force behind the existence of this world. It is magic, not God, that governs the world, and all belief in God is false and vulnerable in the face of magic. Remember, even if you are a great magician, what you unveil is only a corner of the magical starry sky, revealing only a few faint starlight, behind these few starlight is the real magical universe, there are infinite unknowns waiting for us and future generations to explore, for magic we can only maintain a humble heart and an infinite desire to explore. ”
The more Alan spoke, the more excited he became, and finally he even waved his arms. As he spoke, the clerk who had already arranged for him was quickly taking notes, and the record was preserved in its entirety, and was copied by countless magical schools in later generations, many of which were the words that the headmaster had to use at the opening ceremony.
However, what is more memorable than the speech at the opening ceremony is that on the same day of the school year, Allen officially announced that the book "Principles of Magic" written by himself will be used as the basic theoretical textbook of the elementary school of magic.
Although Alan later made several revisions to the book "Principles of Magic", later generations still considered this day to be the most valuable and gave it epoch-making significance:
The birth of the book "Principles of Magic" marked the official entry of human society into the first stage of the age of magic - the age of magicians.
