The hall was silent, as if a needle had fallen to the ground, and the sound could be heard.

Immature faces looked up at Jiang Feng who was standing in front of the hall, and his eyes were full of admiration and yearning. It had been a long time since they had seen the titular mentor, the director of the institute.

Everyone remembered that the last time they met, the wizard taught them the art of meditation. After countless days and months of diligent practice, they finally sensed the magical element that was separated from heaven and earth, and finally understood spiritual power, a mysterious force independent of the material world.

Now, the wizard-sama had summoned them again, and there was a strong excitement in everyone's hearts.

This time, I guess I'm going to teach myself how to use witchcraft!

Only when the first witchcraft is successfully unleashed can they be regarded as transcending mortals in the true sense of the word, becoming great beings independent of the world.

Under the watchful eye of everyone, Jiang Feng, who was standing on the steps, finally spoke slowly.

"First of all, congratulations on making it through your first school year. Winter break is coming soon, and you will be free to spend your time during this time. ”

"I'm glad to see that all of you have successfully sensed the presence of the magical element and become official apprentices."

Jiang Feng's gaze swept over every youthful face, nodded approvingly, and continued: "This also shows that I didn't look away at the beginning. ”

"As you may have noticed, the knowledge you learn is different from that of α Academy. I also noticed that I was different. Those erratic magical elements are not perceptible to everyone, and even the postures they show in front of different people are different. And it is destined that if you continue on the path of wizards, you will see more loneliness in the scenery along the way, than the greatness or glory or anything else that you once fantasized about. ”

"In the realm of witchcraft, I have limited knowledge to teach you, and I can only give you a vague direction. The path that suits you needs to study and think about it for yourselves. ”

"At the end of the opening remarks, it is my personal advice to you. Remember not to waste the study of the natural sciences, although in your eyes it may be the knowledge of the common people, and even useless in the visible places, but I would like to say that knowledge is not high or low, and perhaps when you don't expect it, things that seem to be just ordinary things will be of unexpected help to your practice. ”

Regardless of whether these apprentices really listened to it or just passed the wind, Jiang Feng expounded his views on the study of mysterious knowledge in front of them.

In the Federation, this forbidden knowledge is strictly controlled, and is under the responsibility of the Institute of Special Projects, the most mysterious of the Ministry of Scientific Research, and is a separate department from the Military Department.

The more highly developed the civilization, the more rigorous it is in the division of positions and powers, so as to eliminate the abuse of power to the greatest extent. Those things that are obviously captains, but can reach out to the Ministry of Scientific Research or even the Ministry of the Interior, will only appear in low-level civilizations or some special militaristic civilizations.

Therefore, even if Jiang Feng was the captain of the ship, he did not have the right to access those technologies. Most of the research on the knowledge of the mysterious field was done by himself after he came to this universe, and completed it through the analysis of the intelligent brain. However, he is not a scientific researcher after all, and even if most problems can be solved through the analysis ability of the brain chip, he still feels powerless in many creative problems.

The reason why he cultivated these apprentices, on the one hand, Jiang Feng hoped to complete his own research by observing these apprentices, but more importantly, he still hoped to see some things that he had missed or even completely different from what he saw through their perspective.

It was precisely because of this that Jiang Feng paid more attention to cultivating their methods than instilling them with ready-made knowledge, and hoped that they would master the skill of research, not just witchcraft itself.

"Originally, this class was supposed to be the first class of the new semester, and it was taught to you at the beginning of spring this year, but now the situation has changed slightly, and I have decided to give it as a New Year's gift to you."

As he spoke, Jiang Feng stretched out his right hand. As the incantation was chanted softly, a flame ignited in the palm of his right hand.

There was silence under the steps, and everyone stared at Jiang Feng's right hand tightly, for fear of missing a single detail. , imprinted in those pupils, is not only the flame, but also the thirst for knowledge.

"In my hands is a flame, both in your eyes and in mine."

"But in essence, it's not just a fire, it's an arrangement of a string of fire-based magical elements. We call it the model of witchcraft, which is the root of all witchcraft, and at the same time the mystery hidden behind nature, the answer to our heartfelt desires and calls. ”

"The model of witchcraft is like a matrix, a matrix that exists in three-dimensional space. If you have carefully studied the textbook I have given you, I believe it will not be difficult for you to understand what I mean by this. ”

When Jiang Feng said this, Josephine, who was standing in the audience, looked excited, and her small fists were clenched excitedly.

Of all the apprentices at β Academy, she was the first girl to finish and eat the elective textbooks.

Many other apprentices believed that this knowledge of arithmetic was useless, and that only mortals would be able to dwell on one or two problems, and that it would be a waste of precious meditation time to spend time delving into those arithmetic problems.

Josephine, however, was different, she never thought so. In her mind, the figure of the guru was probably her savior, saving her from the vulgarity of mortals. Therefore, for her, the words of the guru are like a holy decree, and she firmly believes unconditionally that the guru must have his deep meaning in letting them learn those seemingly useless knowledge.

Looking at the remorseful faces next to her, the corners of the little girl's mouth curled slightly, and she was quietly proud that she was one step ahead of these people.

Not caring how the apprentices in the audience reacted to his explanation, Jiang Feng put away the flame in his palm, and instead took out a thumb-sized metal rod, unfolding a translucent three-dimensional image in front of everyone.

Makalu's eyes widened slightly, although his strength was sealed by the curse, his sense of the magic element did not decline much.

From this illusory image, he didn't even feel the fluctuation of magical elements or spiritual power.

Is it an illusion?

It's impossible, even if it's an illusion, it's impossible to achieve the level of no mental power fluctuations!

How the hell did he do it?!

Makalu was puzzled.

"Unleashing witchcraft is to use spiritual power to arrange magical elements into specific structures, like mathematical formulas."

As he spoke, Jiang Feng's index finger moved slightly, and under the traction of his fingertips, the light blue light spots were arranged in an orderly manner according to specific rules.

"This is the sorcery model of the fireball spell I just cast, and it's a classic elemental apprentice-level sorcery."

"Books may tell you to keep in mind the three-dimensional shape of the arrangement of the magical elements, and try to reproduce it in your mind. But what I'm telling you is to look through the phenomena to see the essence, and with what I have taught you, add a three-dimensional axis to these magical elements, and you can even represent them with a string of numbers and letters. ”

Jiang Feng's eclipse command waved, and three coordinate axes shot out from the lower right corner of the holographic image, encompassing the entire countless models, and listed a long list of algebraic formulas next to it, as for those key magic nodes, they were also marked with spatial coordinates.

Seeing this scene, not only the apprentices in the audience, but even Makalu, who was standing behind the stone pillar and listening, couldn't help but widen his eyes, and for a moment left all his previous confusion about holographic images behind.

He had studied witchcraft in the Cursed Grave for decades, but it was the first time he had heard of such a shocking theory.

A three-dimensional image of a witchcraft model is represented with a combination of numbers and letters?!

He knew better than anyone standing here what it meant for a wizard if it could really happen.

The path of a wizard is fraught with dangers, the most important of which is the cost of failing to cast spells.

Only a genius among a handful of geniuses can fiddle with those elusive magical elements like fiddling with building blocks, and it only takes a few memories to accurately restore the witchcraft model in the mind.

However, for most apprentices, it often takes a year, or even years, of memory before mastering the witchcraft that aids memory, in order to remember a model of witchcraft. For an apprentice wizard of the highest rank, being able to skillfully use ten sorcery is enough to be called a genius.

Makalu was sure that if Jiang Feng took this set of theories to the wizarding continent and edited them into a paper for publication, it would definitely cause a sensation comparable to an earthquake among the major wizard towers.

Jiang Feng looked at the pensive faces in the audience with great satisfaction, which showed that his main purpose today had been achieved.

The human brain's memory of images is abstract and fuzzy, especially three-dimensional geometric images with complex structures. But the wizard's spell casting cannot tolerate the slightest sloppiness, and a small mistake can cause a catastrophe.

It can be said that Jiang Feng's biggest advantage over other wizards on the road of learning witchcraft is that he only needs a moment to record those complex witchcraft models in the database of the brain chip. It is not only possible to memorize, but also to improve existing models of witchcraft with existing knowledge.

"At the end of this class, I would like to announce two things."

"First of all, the portal to the small secret realm will be open to all apprentices, and apprentices with inferior apprentice strength will be free to enter the secret realm. Ten points will be deducted through the portal, and two points will be deducted for each day you stay in the secret realm, I hope you will use the resources of the institute in a planned way to eliminate waste. ”

"The second thing is that the bulletin board in the lobby of the teaching building and the bulletin board in the colony square in the secret realm will start to update the commission information synchronously. At present, most of these commissions are related to the exploration of secret realms, and it is not excluded that in the future, as your strength increases, I will update some commissions about other worlds. This will be your main way of earning points, but remember to be aware that there are far more dangers in the Secret Realm than you can imagine, and if you want to avoid it, keep an eye out for the maps I have given you. ”

"Finally, I would like to stress once again that all the secrets of the Secret Realm and the portal are strictly confidential. Even if it's your family, don't mention half a word to them. Otherwise, I'll take matters into my hands and clean up the portal. ”

"I wish you all a happy new year, have fun during the holidays, and don't forget to review...... Disband. ”

In this way, for the apprentices of the β Academy, the last lesson of the first year came to an end.
