Chapter 8 Within the Academy
The next morning, when Kenan opened his eyes and saw an unfamiliar ceiling, he was stunned for a long time before he remembered that he had arrived at the Wizarding Academy and had become a reserve wizard apprentice. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Kenan got up silently, and then looked at the layout of the room, this is a suite of about 30 square meters, divided into a bedroom, a bathroom and a small living room, the walls and floor tiles are paved with blue-striped stone, and the stones are tightly fitted, and there is no adhesive or anything like that.
There is a bed and a wardrobe in the bedroom, both made of thick cedar planks, strong and durable, there is a small fir table near the window, there is already a layer of pulp on the table, I don't know how many generations of owners have gone through, looking out from the window, my location should be on a tower of the castle, the height is about 10 meters, I don't know how many floors, there is a small forest in the distance outside the window, and there is a small artificial lake by the wood.
Retracting his gaze, Kenan came to the bathroom, which had a flush toilet, a sink and a bathtub, all carved out of obsidian, which looked calm and atmospheric, Kenan turned on the faucet and found that there was still hot water supply. The living room has only a small table and two chairs, and that's it. The whole suite is not even decorated except for the basic furniture, and if you don't know, you may think that it is a cell in better condition. Kenan complained secretly.
However, the unhappiness can only be suppressed in the bottom of my heart, and the academy brought these teenagers to the academy naturally for them to study to become wizards rather than to enjoy them.
Kenan opened the non-marking retractable bag and found that his belongings were there, and he was relieved. After all, what is in it is related to your future path.
After a brief tidying up of the room and putting away his valuables, Kenan walked out of the apprentice's quarters, and although his mentor had given the order to advance within a limited time, Kenan had one more important thing to do than to meditate, and that was to fill his stomach.
Kenan followed the map to the student cafeteria, and if you want to ask where the map came from, each student's non-marking retractable bag contains a student guidebook, and inside the student guide is a basic map of the college, which not only marks the areas where the new students and wizard apprentices are active, but also indicates the names of the main buildings in the area, and the main uses and precautions are written next to them.
The student cafeteria is located in a large hall with many tables and chairs, somewhat similar to a Western-style dining hall. Due to the relationship between meditation and experimentation, apprentices often miss meals, so the cafeteria in the academy serves food throughout the day.
The restaurant is a la carte restaurant, but of course, since it is free, the ingredients used in the cafeteria are just ordinary ingredients that can fill your stomach. If you want to eat more advanced ingredients such as fresh seafood, or ingredients that can increase strength, such as Komodo dragon meat that increases fire resistance, and ice fruits that can increase cold resistance, you need to spend magic stones, as long as you have enough magic stones, even a swamp wyvern is just a delicacy on the plate.
Of course, Kennan, a freshman who was cleaner than his face, could only look at the high-end ingredients and order an ordinary meatloaf and a mushroom soup. The patties served at the academy were somewhat similar to the pizzas Kennan had eaten in his previous life, with soft crepes sprinkled with small pieces of minced meat and diced vegetables and fruit and so on, and then smoked with various sauces, while the mushroom soup was a bit like haggis, except that instead of haggis, it was made with mushrooms picked from the forest and some seasonal vegetables and salted meat. Fortunately, the taste is still very good.
Kennan has always believed that most local foods can make people like food if they cook it with care. At least Kennan ate this meal deliciously, swallowed the last mouthful of soup with satisfaction, patted his full belly, Kenan felt that his spirit had recovered a lot, and his face looked much better, at least not as pale as yesterday after being drained of his life force, even if someone asked, he could excuse himself by saying that he was mentally tired because he didn't sleep well after a night of excitement, and he didn't have to worry about someone suspecting that he had signed a strange contract with the devil or something.
Having eaten enough, Kenan began the second step in the plan, which was to familiarize himself with the basic curriculum of the academy, knowing that not everyone was as lucky as Kenan who had the opportunity to read, and most of the civilian students who entered the academy were illiterate. In this case, it is natural that there will be teachers from the academy to teach reading and literacy, of course, reading and literacy here is not to follow the teacher to learn word by word, if such an inefficient learning method is adopted, by the time the students can understand the meditation method by themselves, the best age for meditation has already passed, so the wizards have come up with a better way to classify the basic knowledge, make it into a memory ball, and then transfer the knowledge to the students just like Mentor Ryan taught his meditation experience to Kenan, which is equivalent to imprinting the basic knowledge directly into the apprentice's mind。 All the apprentice needs to do is to integrate this knowledge and thus save the trouble of memorization.
Of course, the memory transmission needs to collect magic stones, but in view of the fact that the new students are generally poor, students are allowed to advance for the transmission of basic knowledge, and then slowly work for the academy to pay off their debts after being promoted to apprenticeship.
Of course, the above refers to the basic knowledge of language and writing, such as the learning of the continental lingua franca, the identification of common plants and their functions, the types of common minerals and their treatments, and the detailed explanation of basic runes.
More advanced knowledge, such as the primary use of magic arrays, a hundred commonly used level 0 magic spells, and the production of simple magic items, need to be taught by a teacher. After all, the more advanced knowledge and information is larger, and it is more difficult to make a memory ball, and it will take longer.
For example, an average wizard can make about ten memory orbs that can be completely filled with this course in a year, and of course this also refers to the number of successful crafting. A single wizard can lead at least a class of about 30 people in the same amount of time using the traditional class mode, and with a little relaxation of the teaching requirements, this number can be at least doubled.
It is for this reason that the more advanced knowledge in the academy is taught by the faculty. All the public courses available to new students are advertised in the college's public classrooms, and students can choose the courses they need to take according to their needs, as Kane found in the freshman handbook in the dormitory.
What if you say you don't know how to read and read the freshman handbook? It doesn't matter, the freshman advisor, Wizard Lilina that Kenan met in the hall, will explain these freshman instructions in detail.
Of course, the college is not a nanny for students, but only points out the way forward, and it is up to the students themselves to see how to go. Of course, if you think that you can live a good life when you arrive at the academy, you are very wrong, the academy will conduct an assessment every three years, and at that time, the new students who have not been promoted to wizard apprenticeship will be dismissed and sent to Vale City at the foot of the academy mountain, and work in the shops operated by the academy to repay the losses of the academy.
It is precisely because of this pressure that new students from all over the world gather in public classrooms, gather around the billboards, and choose the basic courses that will be useful to them.
