"Okay, so is there anyone else you want to talk about? I ask all gentlemen and ladies to broaden their minds and not be afraid to make mistakes. In the wizarding world, mistakes are not terrible, and thinking is more important than being right. If you don't even have the courage to express your own opinions and opinions, what are you going to do to explore the truth of Elsa? Victor walked across the children's desks and back to the podium.

"Miss Pence! Very well, tell me your point of view. ”

"Mr. Victor, I don't have my own opinion yet, to be honest, my opinion on black mana was actually told to me by my father, I was thinking about the relationship between psychic power and black mana a long time ago, but still didn't get a left-facing opinion with my father, can I say that too?" Susan Burns asked, a little uncertain.

"Say it! Miss Pence, although it is your father's point of view, I think you will be enlightening to other students. Victor encouraged.

"Well, my dad thought that black mana represented souls. As you know, many of Mind Control's spells require black mana, so black mana can be a part of soul depth. Father believed that the purer the soul, the darker the color of the soul. And the process by which mind spells manipulate people's hearts is actually like infection, and dark souls are not easily infected - because they can't get darker, maybe? Susan shrugged her shoulders.

"Do you have a different opinion? Miss Pence, I can hear that there is some doubt or disbelief in your statement? I think you can say whatever you want to the people here, even if it's an immature idea. ”

"I'm sorry, Mr. Victor. As you said, I do have some doubts. I'm not skeptical about the nature of black mana, though. Susan stopped talking.

"Don't sell it, Susan, tell us about it?" A girl said.

"That's it, just say it and make everyone happy." Joshua said playfully. But as soon as he finished speaking, he was hit on the head by Lina's textbook: "Susan, don't pay attention to that big fool, he is a complete idiot." Lena said to Susan that she was actually thankful for her help to Joshua the day before yesterday.

"I don't think he meant it, and besides, I think Mr. Donavan will have it after class today, don't you? Mr. Victor? Susan hooked her nose at Joshua, which was her unique grimace, and no other child could do it, because they didn't have the same nose as Susan - in fact, Susan didn't care about her unusual nose, she felt that her nose was like a griffon's beak, which meant that she was a glorious and authentic griffon's heart.

"Don't worry, Miss Burns, Mr. Donavan will come to me after class, and it seems that I will have to teach him what it means to be a gentleman." Victor was happy to see Donavan deflated, not to mention how happy he was. Donavan, on the other hand, put his hands on his chest again, looking unconvinced, completely forgetting the ghost days he spent in the dungeon yesterday.

"Mr. Victor, what I want to say is that I have some doubts about the nature of psychic power."

"Let's talk about it, although I'm not a mind controller, I still know a lot about psychic spells and curses, especially curses."

"A lot of people think that psychic spells are intrusive spells that always use their power to occupy the other party. My father was adamant about it, and I thought so at one point. However, just the other day, my opinion on this point of view was shaken. ”

"Go on, I'm listening."

"I now suspect that the human soul does not exist at all." Susan made a jaw-dropping statement.

Some of the students who knew something about psychic power immediately raised doubts, and even Victor was puzzled, thinking that the girl was talking nonsense. "Miss Pence, this is to overturn the fundamentals of the mind controller and the puppeteer, and I don't think what you are saying is a correct or possible theory if there is no convincing or questionable evidence."

Susan regretted it a little, but she had already thought about the mistrust that might arise now—and that was why she kept her mouth shut. "I'm sorry, Mr. Victor, I don't have convincing evidence yet, but I have some doubts about some of the phenomena that actually happened, and it is these phenomena that have caused me to speculate."

"Let's talk about it, everyone can help think about it. After all, there is a limit to one's thinking, and many people will find more together, of course, it may also make you realize that your theory is wrong, but it's not bad, is it? Although there is no new idea, it rejects a wrong idea. Victor felt that there was something wrong with his distrust. After all, he is a teacher now, and besides, he just said in person that everyone can speak freely, and not take into account possible mistakes. So he slowed down his tone, bypassing the point of conflict and trying to divert attention.

"Mr. Victor, we all say that people have souls, and our bodies are just containers for souls, which is the most common saying, right?"

"It's well known."

"Well, then, if a person dies, the soul will also leave the body and return to Aisha's arms at the same time, right?"

"That's right, at least that's what most of the mainstream spellcaster schools think." Victor affirmed.

So how can we tell if a person's soul is out of the body? In other words, how can we tell if a person is dead? Susan threw out a question.

"It's a deep question, and I'm here to give my opinion. I think how to tell if a person is dead or alive depends on whether he can subjectively perceive and interact with the real Aisha. When he perceives and interacts with the flesh, he lives. When he perceives and interacts with a pure soul, it is a ghost-like spirit, and when the spirit cannot perceive and interact with Elsa, the person's soul is completely annihilated. Victor thought for a moment and answered the question cautiously.

"Exactly, but one thing doesn't make sense." Pence replied in the affirmative.

"How can it not be said?"

According to your answer, we can judge the person's perception only if others cannot perceive it. Right? ”

"It's okay if you say that, if everyone can't see, touch, or smell the traces of this person's existence, what's the difference between this person and being dead?" Victor asked rhetorically, which caused the other students to think deeply, and even Leonard was thinking about it.

"So, let's say I put a normal person in a cage and I bleed him. Eventually, the person will die because of the blood draining. However, I shrouded the cage or cast a spell so that the person outside the cage could not perceive the condition of the person in the cage. We all know that the man in this cage is going to die, but we don't know when he will die. So as far as the people outside the cage are concerned, are the people in the cage dead or alive at the moment? Can we assume that when the perception of the person in the cage is blocked, the person is considered dead? When we all thought he was dead, I opened the cage, removed the magic and revived him, made him felt again, so was he dead? Is his soul separated from his body? Can man live and die at the same time? Susan threw out her questions one after another, and no one, including Victor, could answer them.

"Therefore, I think that psychic spells only disturb or shield the perception of others, and have nothing to do with the soul. To make people frightened, to calm people, to make people sleep, to make people see illusions, are nothing but disturbances of perception. ”
