“...... Alas. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The strange man sighed softly, as if in pain, raised his hand, pointed in the direction of Brunei, and said two sentences in a gentle, fast but very fast voice, and then, he turned his head and said, "Classmate, please open the window." ”

A small gust of air flowed from the index finger of his pale yellow glove right hand, and only a few children between him and Brunei felt the wind blowing overhead, and while the students were communicating in surprise, the air flow had already poked out a cylindrical pit in the gradually spreading fog, and came to Brunei Si, and then, suddenly, there was a sound of "Bang!".

This series of events happened in just three seconds, and Brunei Si, who had just finished casting the spell, had not even fully relaxed when the explosion in front of him made his ears - and even his brain buzz - for a full two seconds before he reacted. And around this time, the last wisps of fog flew out of the window.

"Shhh Student, close the window, thank you, what's your name?"

The little boy next to the window, whose face was already red from the cold, and whose thick cotton clothes could not stop his trembling body, suddenly radiated and replied loudly, "Stephen Marven!"

"Marven, thank you for your cooperation. At the front of the classroom, wearing pale yellow gloves, thin and deep-set eyes, if it weren't for the oily, slippery, expensive-looking coat of unknown animal fur, Brunei almost thought he was a beggar who was about to starve to death, and continued to say slowly, "So, Carlisle, have you calmed down?"

The opponent is a human being, and the strength is very strong, basically, it can only be defeated through stratagem and system.

The results of the series of actions just now did calm Brunei's down, so he realized that the "Carlisle classmate" seemed to be calling him, so he nodded slowly and ambiguously, with an inexplicable look on his face.

"Teacher, that person is a teacher, teacher. William, on the side, looked like he was being a thief, covered his mouth with his hand, sneaked, lowered his voice, and said something difficult to understand in a barely audible voice.

However, Brunei still managed to understand what William meant, his face was a little red, and he smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Teacher, I'm sorry, I-well, I was a little too nervous just now. Not intentionally disrupted. ”

The teacher, who looked like he was about to starve to death, nodded at a similar pace as Brunei before, but he didn't look the slightest bit confused, and his slow movements instead revealed an extraordinary momentum: "It's okay." It's good to be vigilant, but overreaction regardless of the occasion can put you in danger, so it's a mage's vigilance to judge the situation before taking action. ”

Brunei was stunned for a moment, and quickly nodded: "Thank you for the teacher's teaching." ”

William, who was on the side, saw Brunei's reaction like this, and quickly took out a small notebook and carefully recorded something on it. Brunei glanced at it and saw that he had written the phrase "mage's vigilance" in neat handwriting on the second line of the first page—and on the first line, it was "mage's battle depends on knowledge and calculation!", followed by three exclamation marks.

"......" Brunei finally failed to say what he said about William, but the system said seriously in his mind: [Oh, this guy is actually quite interesting, isn't it? 】

Putting aside the matter on their side for the time being, at the front of the classroom, the real teacher had already turned around, once again showing a twisted expression like angina, holding a small round stick of unknown material, squinting his eyes slightly, the small round stick suddenly emitted a dim white light, and then, with a swift speed worthy of the name of "wind attribute", he quickly wrote a few big words on the wall behind him.

"Kerry. He turned his head again, a reluctant but unmistakable smile on his face, "This is my name." I was born in the Empire - well, and I'm unmarried, and I don't have children, so I don't have a last name yet. Just call me Mr. Kerry. As he spoke, he smiled and nodded to Brunei.

Many children followed Mr. Kerry's eyes and looked at Brunei's side, and somehow, William sat up all of a sudden, no longer in his previous "overly lively" state. This made Brunei also a little nervous, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he nodded at Kerry in response.

"Alright, that's the end of the self-introduction. Please turn your attention back to me. Kerry said slowly, and the momentum and natural identity advantage in it had succeeded in attracting the eyes of the little ones to him, "So, let's get ready for today's lesson." ”

Teacher Kerry waved his hand: "You have finished your education on magic enlightenment, and since you have come to this class, it means that you are qualified to use magic." So, from today onwards, what you have to do is not simply to learn and understand, but to practice and learn something that will help you use magic in the future. ”

"Qualifications to use magic?" Brunei was a little puzzled, in his studies and experience in the Empire, there was no concept of the so-called "qualifications to use magic", and what required qualifications was not "to use magic", but "wearing the emblem of magic", this sentence itself was not very incomprehensible to him, but everyone else, including William, seemed to have no problem with this sentence. Without full trust in the circumstances of the moment, Brunei does not intend to show his weakness and stupidity.

"So, before we learn the specifics of spells, spell casting moves, etc., we first have to figure out one thing. ”

Teacher Kerry didn't notice Brunei's well-hidden doubts, and continued, his tone suddenly becoming serious: "That is, what is magic? Can someone tell me your own understanding?"

Kerry stopped talking, and the classroom suddenly fell silent, and the children stared at each other blankly, afraid of the teacher's aura, and did not dare to talk. The feeling of dead silence once again made Brunei's hair stand on end, but this time he restrained himself and did not take any drastic action.

[Oh, this kid is the type with a bit of an idea. 】

Only the system can judge anyone at any time and without impunity. This time, although its tone was frivolous, the meaning of approval in the words was very clear, which is rare in the system as far as Brunei Darussian is concerned.

A hand trembled and rose timidly, and the elbow was still bent. "Marven, please speak. ”

The boy who had been in charge of opening and closing the window suddenly stood up and straightened up, causing a loud grinding sound between the tables and chairs, he swallowed his saliva, closed his eyes, and shouted, "Magic is magic!"

A low laugh sounded in the classroom, Marven's face was even redder than when the wind blew before, and even Teacher Kerry, who was thin and didn't look like a living person, laughed twice as if he was happy. However, his nervousness was quickly dispelled, and Mr. Kerry nodded, smiled and approving "That's a good point, Marven, thank you, please take a seat." ”

The red on Marven's face suddenly became warm, and he nodded vigorously and sat down with a proud smile.

[Little Bruneith, you don't want to say it to him, you might as well tell me, what do you think magic is?]

The system suddenly said in Brunei's mind, and it seemed that it did appreciate this Kerry. Brunei thought for a moment, and replied in his heart: "Probably, it is the method of channeling the magic element and finally producing the effect?"

[Oh, that's good, I thought you'd answer me with an unobtrusive answer like "Magic is the foundation of human survival."] Very good - unfortunately, not true. 】

"Magic" is the technology by which living beings use their own will to change the real world. ”

The system and Mr. Kerry's voice suddenly overlapped, making Brunei's mind a little confused.

[Hahaha, hahaha! Look, what am I talking about? This kid is so interesting!]

The system laughed heartily, but Brunei just frowned, followed Marven's movements, and raised his hand.

“...... Carlisle-san, what's wrong?" Mr. Kerry asked Brunei gently.

"Teacher, I-can't understand what you're saying. Brunei frowned, and said carefully, "I didn't mean to offend you. However, what you said is strange. The truth is that if we want to cast magic, we must use the magic emblem as a medium, through fixed spells, gestures, and fixed mental power fluctuations, to resonate with the magic elements, and finally complete the entire process of casting spells. I'm right, right? I don't understand what you mean. ”

Kerry's smile was a little more satisfied: "Carlisle-san, what you said is our current common sense, of course there is nothing wrong-"

Brunei tilted his head, he was not just asking Kerry questions, but also questioning the system, the system was always trying to change his mind with some kind of heresy, affecting his mind, he didn't know what the purpose of the system was, and his arguments with the system often didn't prevail, so this time he wanted to get rid of the system's nonsense and sophistry: "That-"

"But that's just common sense these days. Kerry said solemnly, "The students have also listened well and thought carefully about this issue." The Emblem of Magic was the result of research five hundred years ago by the Magister Vaal and the world's top spellcasters. So, may I ask, five hundred years ago, before the invention of the magic emblem, there was no magic in this world?"

Brunei was stunned for a moment, of course not—that was the answer to Kerry's question, and he continued: "Well, then, the magic emblem is not a necessary medium - but spells, gestures, and, most importantly, the resonance of the magical element, these are necessary. Isn't it? Magic is not a miracle that comes true. ”

The smile on Kerry's face froze for a moment: "Carlisle-san, the next question, all these spells, gestures, and psychic power works, before they were invented - sorry, were they explored by people, and there was no magic in this world?"

"Of course. Brunei replied firmly, without hesitation, and stood up to meet Kerry's eyes.

The whole classroom was like a pot of boiling water, bubbles were constantly bubbling, and the-for-tat between the two undoubtedly aroused a lot of interest and excitement - thanks to a large part of the fanning of William, who was unusually excited at some point.

Kerry and Brunei looked at each other for a while, then smiled wryly and looked away, "You're right, Carlisle, that's what everyone thinks. ”

The classroom was boiling for a moment, and the "teacher's" confession caused a huge sensation, and William was the most excited one of the people present, and he continued to boast to others, as if he had just made the teacher admit his mistake.

"I'm sorry for the inconsequential nonsense. Kerry's previous momentum was gone, his shoulders drooped, and he no longer paid attention to the boiling children that he had found difficult to suppress, and said to himself, "So, let's go to class......

On the other hand, Brunei fell into deep thinking and self-doubt, because just now-

Think about it, think about it, and remember it. 】

The system, as always, seems to be laughing at everything in general, so to speak.
