Chapter 30: The Wayward Professor
In the morning class every Monday, there is no shortage of sleepy-eyed students.
In order to continue the cordial and friendly meeting with Zhou Gong and be able to truly find oneself from calm, the seats in the back row of the classroom have always been very sought-after.
Of course, there are those who are negative and neglect class, and there are naturally positive ones.
Among the people with a positive attitude in class, although there is no shortage of really 'studious' students such as Downton, Matthew Cullen, Jiang Yu, and Liu Feifei, there are also opportunistic elements such as Sheen Banner.
In order to leave a good impression on the dean of Jiuyou Academy, and in order to get an excellent evaluation in the transcript of the professor of the Charms class, every Monday morning, Xin Fatzi will inevitably come to the classroom early, sit in the front of the classroom, and show his erect youth with the fullest spirit.
This morning, however, the fat man came a little late.
Not only that, but he didn't sit in the front row of seats specially reserved for him by the girls, but held the law book and lay listlessly in the penultimate row of the classroom, huddled with those 'degenerate' boys.
This really surprised many people.
Of course, this can't be blamed on the fat man.
After all, he didn't think that there would be a cat to teach him a lesson, nor did he think about how to teach a cat to play the role of a good student in class.
After eating the chicken legs, limited to the agreement reached with Zheng Qing, he couldn't run around, and the fat man who was simulated by the fat cat could only lie on the table helplessly, squinting and napping, killing the rest of the leisure time in the morning.
Unlike the Transfiguration Potion, which is completely transformed from the inside out, the Mimic Charm simply simulates a decent skin on the outside of the living body.
Any person, or animal, who has a rough understanding of the person being imitated, can be transformed into a different look by virtue of this 'suit'.
This kind of transfiguration is too crude, and it can't even compare to many elaborate illusions.
But as a prop to fool the teacher in class, as long as it is not noticeable and keeps a low profile, it should be enough.
Yes, right.
The young public-funded student rubbed the law book under his hand, muttering uneasily, trying his best to restrain himself from the idea of driving the fat man in front of him out of the classroom.
Although Duan Xiaojian didn't think about kicking Xin Fat out of the classroom, he very much hoped that this good student who had a 'positive' attitude towards learning in the past could vacate the seat under his buttocks.
The hunchbacked, thin boy stood pitifully next to the fat man's seat, shook his arm weakly, and begged: "My brother, haven't you been sitting in the first row, why are you grabbing a place with us who are frequently in need." ”
The orange cat could understand what he was saying, but he had no intention of getting up.
Just kidding, make room for you, do you give chicken legs?
The fat man snored, slapped lazily on the desk, and ignored the requests on the side. Shaken hard, it simply turned its head and changed to a more comfortable position to lie on its stomach.
Duan Xiaojian was helpless, so he could only turn around three times in one step, and sat in the front row with a full stomach full of complaints.
At the back of the classroom, Zheng Qing breathed a sigh of relief and gave a thumbs up to Zhang Jixin next to him.
If you can hide from a student at such a close distance, you should be able to hide it from a professor at a slightly greater distance.
The young government-funded students have regained some self-confidence.
......
With the piercing alarm of the stick figure villain, the fiery figure of the Charms class professor once again broke into the sight of the new students.
"Good morning, students!"
Lao Yao strode up to the podium, waved his hand at everyone, dragged the chair behind the lectern and sat down: "Sit down, sit down......
"Good morning, sir!" the students in the classroom bowed and sat down, yawning as gently as they could.
As a senior professor, Lao Yao was very aware of this state, and he didn't get angry, but just raised his eyelids and scanned the classroom.
Then he saw the fat man who looked like a big orange.
So he blinked.
Zheng Qing tried to sit up straight, staring intently at the back of the fat man in front of him, and prayed to Zhou Tian God and Buddha in his heart, hoping that the professor did not notice this inconspicuous corner.
Old Yao paused, took out the black pipe from his robe, stuffed some golden tobacco into it, and then wiped the spark, burning a wisp of green smoke.
He clicked his mouth, looked at the young public-funded student who was pretending to read the textbook with interest, cleared his throat, and said in a long voice: "Saying hello has no spirit...... Come on, let me name you, sober up, cheer up!"
Named?!
Zheng Qing instantly felt a sense of bewilderment.
Although according to the teaching rules posted on the back of the classroom door, the teacher who teaches in each class is required to take a roll call.
But a wizard of Lao Yao's level knew that there were a few mosquitoes in the classroom with a sweep of his eyes, not to mention more than twenty big living people. Because of this, professors rarely carry out formalized operations such as roll call, and Zheng Qing ignored this point when he asked Tuan Tuan for help.
You know, Tuan Tuan can't speak!
The orange cat, who was dozing off with his head, also raised his head instantly, and his round ears were erected.
"Ears!" Zheng Qing gritted his teeth and stretched out his leg to kick the fat man's stool in the front row: "That dead fat man can't stand his ears!"
Tuan Tuan's two ears instantly drooped.
Then it turned its head cautiously, squeezed its eyes at Zheng Qing, and pouted.
Zheng Qing understood what it meant: I can't speak, you can do it!
"Downton!" Lao Yao had already opened the roster and named him seriously.
"Here!" Tang Da's squad leader had always been very serious, and at this moment he stood up and agreed very formally.
Zheng Qing looked at Xiao Xiao for help, but found that the busy doctor was flipping through a three-inch-thick dictionary, tossing the red form with words, and didn't notice anything else.
"Zheng Qing!"
Professor Yao's loud voice interrupted the uneasiness of the young public-funded student.
The roll call was surprisingly fast.
"Here!" After Zheng Qing replied, he didn't sit down, but said in a heartfelt way: "Professor, Xin Banner accidentally took the wrong medicine yesterday...... So his throat hurt, and the doctor told him not to speak today. ”
The other students turned around with a hula and looked curiously at the fat man who had taken the wrong medicine.
The orange cat was not frightened, nodded around with a calm face, and pointed to his throat.
"I took the wrong medicine!" Professor Yao was stunned, hurriedly walked off the podium, came to Xin Fatzi's side, touched his head, and asked gently, "Does it matter? Do you have a sick note from the hospital?"
Tuan Tuan squinted at the touch and snored comfortably.
Zheng Qing hurriedly poked it and said to the professor with a dry smile, "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter...... Minor issues...... Rest well today and don't talk. ”
Tuan Tuan sat up straight, nodded solemnly, and opened his mouth to "snort".
Zheng Qing couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat.
"Oh, that's what it looks like!" Lao Yao continued to touch Tuan Tuan's head without a match, and said earnestly: "I remember that Professor Li of pharmacy said last time that you stepped on a bowl of flowers in the medicine garden and licked the plate for a week...... Even though all of you are already adults, I know that many of you are living independently away from home for the first time, so you have to learn to take care of yourself!"
Tuan Tuan was able to sit up straight at first, but as Lao Yao kept stroking, he couldn't help but arch to the table softly and snoring happily.
Zheng Qing stood aside and explained dryly: "He took medicine in the morning, and it is estimated that he has a little phlegm. ”
"Well, all of you too. Lao Yao glanced at Zheng Qing with a smile, he was terrified, and then added meaningfully: "Don't think that you dare to do whatever you want when you are an adult, you must be a little in awe in your heart." Otherwise, today I will just lie on the table, and tomorrow I will be lying in the hospital bed!"
There was a cacophony of responses in the classroom.
Lao Yao raised the law book, patted the young public-funded student's head lightly, turned around and walked back to the podium.
Zheng Qing covered his head and took a few breaths of cold air, and Leng Buding saw that the waistband of the fat man's pants in front of him showed a fluffy tail, and quickly poked it again.
The tail was instantly retracted by the fat cat.
"Originally, I was going to tell you about the 'Yuanchen Guardian Mantra' in this class, but everyone was not in a good state in the morning...... Plus there are still people who are sick!" Professor Yao said this, paused, glanced at Zheng Qing and Xin, and continued to speak: "In this case, let's move the content of this class to Wednesday for the time being." ”
"Yuanchen Guardian is a very, very important spell. This spell is about your registration for the wizard exam, and about the ceremony of your promotion to the main witch, so on Wednesday, everyone must be in the best shape for the class, do you understand?"
"Understood!"
"Got it!"
"Whew!"
This time, there was a basically neat response from the audience.
"In this lesson, let's talk about the philosophy of magic. ”
Although the philosophy of magic is only a general education course for the whole school, the professors who teach it are senior professors from the four colleges. This course does not involve specific spells, prescriptions, charms and other specific operations, but is a very simple theoretical course, and it is relatively simple to tutor.
"But Professor!" Downton abruptly raised his hand and interrupted the professor's lecture, "what about the others?"
Although he didn't go into more detail, everyone knew what the question meant.
Charms class is a small class with only students from Astronomy 08-1 class.
The philosophy of magic is a big class, and the people in the class not only include the students of the Nine Colleges and the Nine Colleges, but also some students from the Star Academy and the Alpha Academy, and even some old students who have failed to take courses in their sophomores and juniors.
Therefore, in the face of Lao Yao's willful adjustment of the class schedule, the head of the class said that he felt a little troubled: "Do you need to notify those students who have philosophy class on Wednesday?"
"In addition, how should I make notes on my daily class record......" Jiang Yu, the class leader, also raised his hand and expressed his helplessness.
