Douglas School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, in Jerome's Garden Villa.

"Hehe, your name is Lucien Evans, too?" a handsome young man with messy black hair had a smile in his tone, and he was wearing a black vest over his white shirt, not wearing a long gown or suit, "K has always said that his name is very common, I always don't believe it, I can't imagine that this is really the case, and I can meet it in a school." Well, I'll admit it's very common to see Tom and Jack and things like that, and there are five pairs of names in the school that are exactly the same!"

He is the second-ring magician Roque introduced by Lazar, who is good at elemental magic and mathematical foundations, and is said to have a fast mind, an active personality, and a love to joke.

Before Lucien could answer, Roque gushed again: "I will definitely introduce you to K, what a great name and surname!Lucian, don't worry, K is a very good person to get along with, although he is a little silent and introverted, but he is diligent and talented, and he is willing to help others, as long as there is a question to ask him, he will try his best to give answers, unlike some guys from the electromagnetic faction, who have eyes on the top of their heads!"

"Since the last issue of the Arcane journal, Lord Brooke used magic experiments to confirm that light is a special electromagnetic wave, they have been clamoring that spiritual power is also a wave, and they laugh at those of us who adhere to the theory of spiritual power particles every day, and I don't want to think about it, there are still several magic experiments that cannot be explained by waves, and Your Excellency Speaker has not responded to this!"

Lucien glanced at Lazar amusedly, thinking that he was a talkative, but compared to Roque, it was too far behind, but from Roque's words, Lucien also grasped the latest research trend of the Magic Council, so he kept smiling and listening politely.

Lazar on the side said helplessly: "Roque is like this. Hey, since the last issue of the Arcane Journal, a mage like me running around doesn't feel it. Magicians like them, who have lived in Alinge for a long time and adhere to the 'Psychic Particle Theory', have already felt a great deal of pressure. Well, although I also like the notion that mental forces are particles, the proof that light is an electromagnetic wave makes me sad. But it was the blow to the church that was devastating, and their theory that God alone was created was completely shattered. When I think about this, I am very happy and feel very proud and proud. ”

Jerome, who is more adept at the astrological system, and his beautiful wife, Vera, did not interject. Always smiling and listening to Roque and Lazar's complaints.

The elemental mages who studied the elements and established the concept of the atom seem to be natural supporters of the "psychic particle theory", and if it weren't for the pressure from the church outside, it seems that Roque would have wanted to fight those electromagnetic mages fiercely.

Wait until the discussion between the two of them stops. Lucien and Jerome were already sitting on the couch, leisurely sipping Vera's Earl Grey tea.

Jerome, who was brown-haired, ordinary-looking, and slightly fat, did not talk much, but his whole person naturally exuded an air of happiness and vigor, and his wife Vera was a beautiful red-haired girl, about twenty-three or fourteen years old, quiet and beautiful.

"Mr. Evans, you drink black tea first. I'll go to the kitchen and prepare dinner for you. Vera politely left.

This caused Roque to sigh: "Why can you find a good girl like Vera Jerome, and those girls around me don't know how to be a good lady?"

"Huh. Jerome smiled proudly and a little shyly and did not answer.

Lazar didn't want to bring up such a "sad" topic, so he turned to Roque: "Roque, how is the magic research project you are going to apply for?"

"What project?" asked Lucien cooperatively.

Mr. Roque replied frustratedly, "Don't mention it." It has already been rejected, and the reason for the rejection turned out to be 'sir, please don't be kidding'. ”

Then he mentioned with a little excitement: "Lucian, this is a great project, as a scholar of the Tower, I always believe that everything can be expressed in numbers, such as the power of magic, the degree of defense and weakening, etc., and what is lacking now is the problem of normalization." We need to measure the data of the magic released by different magicians, organize them into different tables, and if the magicians who have a dispute want to fight, they can compare the data of their respective magics......"

"Sir, please don't joke......" This was Lucian's first reaction, it is good to try to describe the numbers like this, but even with a supercomputer, it is difficult to simulate the real magic release, after all, any change in the physical and mental state of the magician will affect the power of his own magic, not to mention that the power of some magic itself is random within a certain range.

This kind of reaction, Lucien will definitely not show it politely, but casually perfunctory: "What if some of the two magicians have strong magic and some have weak magic?"

"That's right. Roque took a stack of blank paper from the table next to him with great interest and began to write, "My total mental power is 105, Lazar's 96......"

A series of numbers came out, causing Lazar to be quite dissatisfied: "Why is mine so low? Then the two began to argue.

Jerome smiled helplessly at Lucian: "They're like that, they're more fun-loving." ”

"So they're good friends. Lucien remembered Lazar's previous use of words that "degraded" Roque, and now seemed appropriate to use him.

Then, Lucien and Jerome ignore Lazar and Roque to discuss the topic of astrology and the elements, one of them is deeply terrifying, the other is more practical, and they talk very happily, and they have a feeling that they want to know each other sooner.

"Hehe, gentlemen, please have dinner. Vera walked in, with a maid pushing a food cart behind her.

Lucien and Jerome put down the white-glazed cup of black tea, and turned their heads to see Lazar and Roque playing "cards" very excitedly.

"I use the 'Magic Missile', and the power is 5. Roque threw out a piece of paper.

Lazar took out another one from his hand with a serious face: "Yang Yan Protection, Defense 7." ”

......

"What are you doing, gentlemen?" Jerome woke them up with some curiosity.

Roque frowned and thought for a moment, "I'll admit it's a failed magic research project," and then he smiled brightly, "It's a fun card game! ”

Lucien was dumbfounded, and Roque was really thinking strangely and jumping.

"Ah, I smell the steak and grilled fish, Vera, you're such a good girl. Roque began another conversation with an unimaginable leap of thought, "How did you get a crush on Jerome?"

Vera smiled quietly, "I think Jerome looks particularly charming when he's focused and serious. ”

"It's so jealous. How could I not meet it!" Both Roque and Lazar patted their faces lightly. Lucien was also a little envious of the affection of their couple.

After a hearty dinner, Lucien and Roque saw Lazar off and strolled back to their garden villa among the oddly shaped plants of the Enchanted Garden.

In the school of witchcraft and wizardry. Except for a married teacher like Jerome, only a second-level arcanist is qualified to live alone in a garden villa, after all, there are quite a few teachers. So before sending Lazar away, Roque negotiated with the magician. Swap to live with Lucian.

And Lucien originally wanted to go to the laboratory tonight to use ether and other materials to refine a potion "Solid Stone" to assist mental stability and help him break through to the second level, but the busy day made him a little tired. I felt that I was not in a suitable state for refining chemicals, so I prepared to go after the end of the course in the afternoon of the next day.

............

The next day, inside the "Thorn Tree" class.

"Today's 'Ancient Magical Languages' class teacher has been changed to Mr. Evans!" Heidi looked at Reilia and Annick mysteriously.

Annick was puzzled and said, "Mr. K, he is a second-level arcanist and a second-ring magician, shouldn't he only teach advanced apprentice classes?"

"I don't know what I just heard from Grant, the squad leader. Heidi shook her head.

At this time, the other apprentices in the 'Thorn Tree' class were also discussing with each other, and even the usual lazily lying on the table. Sprint, who didn't like to communicate with other strange apprentices, also sat up, the name evoking memories for him.

The bell rang, and the apprentices fell silent, obeying the school rules, and Sprint and Katrina's expressions became serious. Since the blow, they have all understood the importance of hard work and hard work, and they have listened attentively in every lesson.

After a moment of silence, Heidi and Leiria's eyes suddenly widened to see Lucien, who was wearing a black double-breasted gown, walking in with a soft hat of the same color.

"Yes, it's really Mr. Evans!" they blurted out, not bothering to break the school rules slightly, their faces full of surprise, causing the other apprentices to look at them curiously.

Annick grinned and scratched his pale yellow hair, unable to believe it was real.

Both Sprint and Katrina didn't know how to describe their mood at this time, probably a little happy and a little depressed, and an inexplicable anticipation.

Lucien took off his soft hat and placed it on the table, nodded to Annick and them, and then smiled at the apprentices: "I'm Lucien Evans, you can also call me Mr. X, and I will be responsible for teaching you the 'Ancient Magical Language' in the future." ”

"In my class, you can sleep, you can do magic analysis, you can be in a daze, you can not do the exercises I sent down, the only requirement is not to disturb the apprentices who are serious about learning, but again, you also have to pay the price for your choice, if you don't pass the assessment at the end of the course, then I will definitely give you the worst evaluation and let you retake the course. People who think they have the talent and ability can try. For those who usually listen carefully and practice carefully, I will convert this part of the score into the assessment results. ”

The apprentices listened dumbfounded as Lucien spoke, as if they were listening to a legendary story, there had never been such a magic teacher in this stern and old-fashioned magic school, and he was allowed to sleep in his class, so he didn't have to listen to the lecture!

But the result was too serious for some magic apprentices who felt like geniuses didn't dare to try it.

Then they saw Lucien take out a stack of white papers from nowhere, and said with a smile: "Okay, today is the first class, I need to figure out everyone's level, let's do a thorough exercise." ”

"Ahh

The other apprentices were completely puzzled by the screams of pain from the three of them, but instead found this Mr. X to be both kind and gentle, and very cool! )
