All students at First University have a practical class in their schedules. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

This course is a school-wide foundation course and is compulsory for every student. However, it is not included in the annual teaching schedule of the joint conference of professors. On the contrary, it is like a temporary course, and the arrangement of classes and lecturers is very arbitrary.

For example, key subjects such as talismans, divination, and astronomy often encroach on the class time of practical classes, and for example, the teachers of practical classes are basically teaching assistants, and almost no one in the entire No. 1 university has heard of any professor who can teach this course.

Looking at the four-year study arrangement planned by First University for students, the practical class stands out from the perspective of class time.

In the first-year schedule, there is only one class per week in the practical class, but in the sophomore or junior year's schedule, the course will be allocated for a full day, and by the senior year, many students will even spend more than half of their study time in this course.

The class hours occupied are so prominent, and the credits are scary, but the practical classes do not help the young wizards in the slightest to advance to the many assessments of registered wizards.

That's why many people refer to this course as 'chicken ribs'.

Xiao Xiao once analyzed with Zheng Qing the reasons why the practical class became a chicken rib.

In his view, this contradiction is inevitably related to the teaching objectives of practical classes.

The main goal of the practical class is to teach young wizards to become familiar with magical techniques, master the various types of magic they learn on a daily basis, and apply them flexibly to demon hunting activities.

This means that students spend a lot of time practicing their magical skills in this lesson, rather than building a solid foundation in the theory of magic. However, in many of the examinations of registered wizards, knowledge of magic theory occupies a very large weight.

To put it simply, the relationship between the practical class and other courses in the curriculum is similar to the relationship between 'body and application' and 'Tao and art'.

Of course, for the vast majority of young wizards who are new to college, they don't pay much attention to the doorways behind the curriculum, let alone the intricate relationship between theory and practice.

For practical lessons, students are more concerned about whether they can really see those hideous and ferocious demons in class.

Being able to see all kinds of demons is the biggest expectation that many people have for this course.

After all, novelty and excitement have always been a great attraction for young people.

It's just that for freshmen, it's hard to see real demons in class in the first semester.

The school will not allow young wizards to face the most terrifying thing in this world unprepared.

They will need to hone their magical skills and become proficient in combat skills during the first semester of adaptation.

Therefore, for Zheng Qing and his companions, this practical class may be more appropriately called a combat class or a fighting class.

"I wanted to say one thing in the last class. Zheng Qing stood under a few thick purple bamboos, looked at the bustling crowd in the distance, and said thoughtfully: "Have you noticed that the number of people in this class is relatively large?" ”

Xin Fatzi and Zhang Jixin stood a few steps away, facing a huge piece of granite, competing with each other, ignoring his question.

Xiao Xiao leaned quietly on the bamboo, silently looking at his notebook.

"Did you hear my question?" Zheng Qing shook the bamboo on Xiao Xiao's back vigorously, and hummed weakly: "You are looking at that notebook all day long, aren't you annoyed?"

"Annoying. Xiao Xiao replied with a pun: "According to the schedule issued by the joint meeting of professors, almost all the practical classes of freshmen at First University are arranged in this time period on Friday afternoon. It's not surprising that there are more people. ”

"Why!" Zheng Qing was startled, and couldn't help but look back at the number of people in the valley, and exclaimed, "I just said, I don't feel like there are so many people in the morning exercise! Is there a problem with the class scheduling system?"

"What is the class scheduling system?" Xiao Xiao looked at him suspiciously: "The professors arrange it like this, so naturally they have their reasons." ”

"Maybe it's just lazy. Duan Xiaojian suddenly came out of the bamboo forest, seemed to hear the topic discussed by the two, and interjected: "Maybe it's just for convenience." ”

"Convenient?" Zheng Qing raised an eyebrow.

"Haven't you heard from the old students?" Duan Xiaojian seemed to be very keen on probing all kinds of gossip about the school: "The old students said that the school arranged this class on Friday afternoon so that everyone would have enough time to recuperate on the weekend of the next two days, so as not to delay other classes next week. ”

"Recuperate?" Zheng Qing's throat tightened slightly.

"Recuperate!" Duan Xiaojian looked serious and nodded affirmatively.

"It's not so serious," Zheng Qing laughed dryly, looked at the thin boy in front of him, and tried his best to think about things on the good side: "Maybe those old students are just scaring you." ”

"Whether it's intimidation or not, I don't know. Duan Xiaojian shook his head, dragged Zheng Qing, pointed to several cyan robed figures on the edge of the crowd, and said, "See, that's Mrs. Bella!"

Lady Bella was tall and fat, and her teal healer's robes were tightly pressed against her, standing out among a group of young wizards and a few young nurses.

She is the head nurse of the first university hospital, and it is difficult to see her on campus on weekdays. Beside her, several little nurses sat on the huge medical box, smiling at the energetic figures in front of them.

"In each practical class, in addition to the lecturers, the school will also arrange for Mrs. Bella to stay on the edge of the 'Green Valley' with the elves of the school hospital. Speaking of this, Duan Xiaojian paused, and emphasized in a tone that was bound to be so: "Doesn't this mean something?"

"No wind, no waves. Fat Xin left the granite at some point, came to the side of a few people, shook his head and said: "She is there, and everyone can't help but think nonsense." ”

Zheng Qing pursed his lips, although he still had reservations about the rumor, he was still nervous unconsciously.

"Green Valley is not an open place. Xiao Xiao finally spoke again, he lifted his glasses, looked around, and said thoughtfully: "Since Lady Bella is not the instructor of the practical class, the fact that she can stand here only proves that she is needed here." ”

'Midori Valley' is a classroom for practical classes, and all practical classes are held here.

It's an open valley.

The valley is surrounded by rolling hills, and there is not a single steep col.

Beneath his feet is ankle-length grass, soft and elastic when he steps on, like a carpet.

Along the hills, the hillsides are rolling and lush bamboo forests.

The breeze blows, and the bamboo leaves rustle, which is refreshing.

"I've always felt that the grass in the Green Valley is a bit too soft. Duan Xiaojian squatted on the ground, stirring those flexible grasses with his fingers, squeezing out their fat mesophyll: "Now it seems that maybe these grasses are our protective pads, which can minimize the damage we receive in the fight." ”

Zheng Qing took a deep breath and resisted the urge to run away.

When he was a child, his husband always warned him that a gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall.

Now, he felt like he was standing in the middle of a volcanic crater that was about to erupt.

"Don't be nervous. Zhang Jixin moved his body excitedly, and clenched his fists with a rattle: "We will always face demons." If you don't want to meet Nikita next time and be beaten like a dog by her, then this is the best whetstone for us!"
