Chapter 6: College Life
The Higher School of Magic is mainly self-study and cultivation, and students are no longer mandatory. Deep Blue Academy also adopts a laissez-faire management model for students, as long as the strength can meet the corresponding requirements on time, and do not do things too much, the college will not interfere. In short, the biggest rule of Deep Blue Academy is "strength first", and everything else is secondary except for improving strength.
On the first day of school, Han Feng came to the classroom early in the morning. The courses of Deep Blue Academy are about two classes a day, each class is two hours, and every five days of classes are rested for two days. In other words, Han Feng only needs to attend classes for four hours a day, and the rest of the time is arranged by the students themselves. And all the courses are listened to if you like, and no one forces you to listen if you don't like to listen. As long as you can meet the requirements of the college, then everything will be fine.
"Hello. I'm the mentor in charge of teaching ice magic to first-year students. A familiar figure appeared on the podium, it was Liao Huajie, the chief examiner who was in charge of the invigilator. "I think you all know me. Let me reintroduce myself here. My name is Liao Huajie, and I am an intermediate magician, which is often referred to as a fifth-order magician. Over the next year, I'll teach you ice magic. First of all, please introduce yourself. ”
Suddenly, one by one, the students in the class walked up to the podium to introduce themselves.
The more Han Feng listened, the more surprised he became! Deep Blue Academy was worthy of being a well-known higher magic academy in the country, and among the more than 20 freshmen in the class, from south to north, from east to west, there were people from all over the country. When it was Han Feng's turn, he just introduced himself very briefly: "My name is Han Feng and I am from Jianghai City. ”
After all the students were introduced, Liao Huajie began to introduce ice magic: "Although the ice magic attack is not as good as the fire and lightning systems, the defense is not as good as the earth system, the speed is not as good as the wind system, the control is not as good as the wood system, and the change is not as good as the water system, but its strength is beyond doubt. So what's at the heart of ice magic?"
Liao Huajie looked around the class, focused everyone's attention on himself, and raised his hand to condense an ice crystal, but the shape of this ice crystal was not fixed, and it was changing from moment to moment. "Ice magic is characterized by balance, and it has no outstanding strengths, but no obvious flaws. ”
"Ice magic, while known for its balance, also has its own distinctive characteristics. Cold and change are the difficulties in ice magic, and they are also the core of ice magic. Ice, ice, and ice-based magic are characterized by coldness, which is also a characteristic that many other types of magic do not have. Cold is a common attribute of all ice magic, dealing a lot of damage and slowing down. As for change, ice magic, like water magic, has a unique advantage in manipulating elemental shaping. However, things that can be shaped with ice magic are more powerful than water magic. ”
While listening to Liao Huajie's explanation, Han Feng stared at the ice crystals in Liao Huajie's hands that were constantly changing shapes: manipulating the elements, this is an ability that only magicians of the fourth order and above have. I don't know, when will I reach the fourth order?
After Liao Huajie boasted about some ice magic, he began to lecture. Liao Huajie can serve as a tutor in Deep Blue Academy, so he naturally has real skills. His level may not be too high, but in terms of the teaching of ice magic, he is not necessarily weaker than some high-level magicians. Han Feng felt that he had a new understanding of ice magic, which was completely different from the ice magic he had learned at the Primary Magic Academy. Under Liao Huajie's explanation, Han Feng felt that the mystery of ice magic was slowly unveiled in front of him. Although this does not have an immediate effect on the improvement of strength, it is extremely important for future improvement.
Listening to Liao Huajie's class, Han Feng felt that he had benefited a lot, and he also had a general plan in his heart. Every day, in addition to classes, he plans to spend other time practicing magic, and in the evenings, it is time to practice magic. At present, the most urgent goal is to raise oneself to the rank of fourth-order junior magician in the shortest possible time.
To be promoted to a fourth-order magician, one must know the cultivation method of elemental power. When a mage reaches the peak of the third order, it greatly increases the fit between the body and the elements. By increasing the Fit, the Mage can not only use magic to cast magic, but also strengthen his body with magic power.
Han Feng didn't have the cultivation techniques of combat skills in his hands, but Liao Huajie had already said that as long as they could reach the peak of the third order, the academy would provide them with the cultivation techniques of combat skills, and at the same time, it would also guide them on how to better use their magic power. Therefore, Han Feng's biggest task now is to allow himself to reach the peak of the third order in the shortest possible time.
Han Feng unexpectedly broke through when he participated in the on-campus selection competition at the Jianghai Primary Magic Academy and became a third-order magic apprentice. After a few months of cultivation, he had finally consolidated his realm and reached the peak of the early stage of the third order, and as long as he had an opportunity, he could break through to the middle stage of the third order. Han Feng's initial idea was to be able to raise himself to the peak of the third order within a year, and then break through to the fourth order within a month and become a junior magician.
In addition to magic classes, all students also attend cultural classes. The main content of the cultural class is the common knowledge of the mainland and the customs of various countries. Although cultural courses are not taken seriously, the college organizes an assessment every year. After all, Deep Blue Academy didn't want its students to know nothing about everything except magic.
Many students don't like the cultural class and think it's useless. However, for Han Feng, who left his hometown for the first time, it made him feel very interesting. In these boring texts, you can learn a lot of interesting things, and you can also learn a lot of useful things. Han Feng believes that there is nothing useless in this world, only people who can't use it.
Do what you want! This has always been Han Feng's creed. No matter how careful the plan is, if it is not implemented, it can only be a utopian dream after all! As for whether it can or cannot, it is only after trying to know that even if the group fails in the end, there will be no regrets.
The Higher School of Magic is more of a miniature society than the first Academy of Magic. As the saying goes, "When the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds", and the same is true for the Higher School of Magic.
It can be said that everyone who comes to the Higher School of Magic has their own goals. Some people want to get ahead, some people simply want to be powerful, and some family members come here just to recruit potential talents, and so on.
Different goals naturally have different emphasis. For Han Feng, his most urgent task is to improve his strength in the shortest possible time. Because of this reason, Han Feng rarely takes the initiative to communicate with other students, and puts all his mind on improving his strength. However, Han Feng was quiet by nature, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
As a result, after a month, Han Feng and most of the classmates did not say a word, and the cadres wanted to get acquainted. It's really like what he had planned, every day, in addition to meditation, he is practicing magic. However, Han Feng is not without intersection with others. In order to be able to improve his magic level more quickly, Han Feng would often consult a magic master.
It's a hard life, but it's very fulfilling. The most important thing is that Han Feng can feel that his strength is constantly growing, and its speed is far beyond Han Feng's expectations, which makes him happy. If this continues, it may not take more than a year to reach the peak of the third order.
On this day, when Han Feng was about to leave after asking questions about magic, Liao Huajie suddenly stopped him: "Count the days, you have been coming to Deep Blue Academy for more than a month, right?"
Han Feng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, nodded and said, "If you count from the beginning of the entrance assessment, it will be almost a month and a half." ”
Liao Huajie casually put the document back on the table, and folded his hands: "Han Feng." Hard work is a good thing, but the combination of work and rest is the most effective way to cultivate. I suggest that you stop spending all day practicing magic in the academy and go out with your friends. Longjing City is a very interesting city with a lot to offer. In this way, you can not only relax your mind, but also learn a lot of things, and maybe it will be more effective in improving your strength. ”
"But ······" Han Feng's mouth opened, and he didn't say the next words, just nodded silently. In fact, what Han Feng wanted to say was that it was not that he didn't want to go out, but that he didn't know what to do when he went out. He didn't even know all the people in his class, so where did his friends go out to hang out with? In addition, this was the first time he had gone far away, and he was not familiar with Longjing City, so he didn't know what Longjing City had at all. Even if you know, if you really want to go out by yourself, I'm afraid that your eyes will be black as soon as you go out. At the beginning, he was able to reach the Deep Blue Academy so smoothly, thanks to that Ouyang.
Han Feng also understood that Liao Huajie was just out of good intentions. So, he could only deal with it casually: "Okay. Speaking of which, I haven't visited Longjing City yet. Find a time, and I'll take a good look at Longjing City. ”
Although he heard the carelessness in Han Feng's words, Liao Huajie didn't know what to say when it came to it. After all, if others want to cultivate hard, as a mentor, they can't force him to rest, right? Now that Han Feng has already nodded, whether he really listens or not, it's not good to say anything more.
After leaving Liao Huajie's office, Han Feng was also thinking about the conversation just now: Indeed, as Liao Huajie said, the combination of work and rest is the best way to improve strength, and blindly cultivating hard work is not effective. It's best to go out and see more, but even if you don't go out, you should get some rest. However, I don't know the way to Longjing City at all! If I really want to go out, there will be no one to lead the way, and I will probably not find the way back on my own.
It turned out that this was the reason why Han Feng hadn't gone out all the time! Although it wasn't very serious, Han Feng was really a road idiot strictly speaking. Even in his hometown Jianghai City, a city where he has lived for more than ten years, he occasionally gets lost, let alone Longjing City.
In fact, this is not impossible to solve, as long as you find someone who knows the road as a guide. However, Han Feng had been in Longjing City for less than two months, and he didn't even know all the classmates in his class, so how could he know anyone who could be a guide? You can't just catch someone and ask someone else to be a guide.
Han Feng can't do this kind of thing, and he won't do it! "You can't have the heart to harm others, and you can't do without the heart to defend people", this is the education that Han Feng's parents taught him. Therefore, Han Feng maintains a certain degree of caution towards everyone and will not trust others easily. This is also the reason why Han Feng is not familiar with the classmates in the class until now.
