Chapter 64: Two or Three Things Before Class
After a week, Nicholas appeared in the classroom of Astronomy 08-1 class again.
As everyone expected, his face was pale and his expression was a little sluggish. This is a common condition for all people who have just recovered from a serious illness. But what everyone expected was the fluctuation of magic around this old student.
The classmates looked at the black spell mark on Nicholas's forehead and whispered. Many people have heard of the wizards of the North Side, and they have heard that Nicholas' magical talent has greatly declined after pulling out the werewolf blood, but most people know for the first time that he chose to enter the Gini Hut, becoming a North End wizard.
For proud No. 1 college students, this choice is tantamount to social suicide.
But as far as Nicholas is concerned, he has been killed by gossip-blunt knives at school for more than two years, and he recently committed suicide 'magically' on the shores of Linzhong Lake, and he doesn't care about being 'killed' again.
As the Great Sage of Colma told him, this world was originally a world of killing. You kill me, I kill him, the cycle repeats, there is no end.
If someone 'kills' him, he needs to kill 'the other'.
For example, frogs.
Nicholas tightened the net bag he was carrying, which contained a dozen or so little frogs jumping around. This is his consumption for a day today.
Zheng Qing didn't pay attention to Nicholas, but focused on the reactions of the classmates - this was a job that Jiang Yu assigned to him yesterday, and she needed to gather information, give feedback to the professors about the reactions of the classmates to the tricksters in the North District, and prepare for the school's large-scale divination.
After observing for a long time, Zheng Qing breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
In the end, this is the Nine Talents Academy, and the talent of wizards is not so important. Most of the students looked at Nicholas with pity and curiosity, and their gazes were very restrained, as if they were afraid that looking at him twice would make him uncomfortable.
With that, Nicholas walked in silence to his place in the corner of the classroom.
Liu Feifei did not sit in the front row today, but chose to sit in the vacant seat next to Nicholas, no one ridiculed her for this, on the contrary, many wizards and witches showed a trace of envy and longing in their eyes.
The bell rang suddenly.
It was particularly harsh in the silence.
Professor Yao's figure suddenly appeared on the podium.
With a handout in his arms, a pipe in his hand, and a mischievous look in his eyes, he seemed to want to catch everyone off guard with such a surprise attack—but the quiet and orderly environment of the class clearly caught him off guard.
The professor put down the handout and rubbed his hands together like a big fly ready to eat.
But this move also made his figure a little out of frame.
Zheng Qing was not the only one who noticed this.
Soon, the eyes of many in the classroom shifted from Nicholas to the professor. Everyone is very concerned about why the professor chose to use a 'projection' to teach today.
This is not in line with the school's prescribed code of ethics for teachers.
Like his classmates, Professor Yao is also very concerned about the abnormality in today's class:
"Why is the order in the class so good today? ”
He didn't hide his surprise in the slightest.
Immediately, he noticed that many of his classmates were looking into the back row of the classroom, and then saw the figure of the male witch with a black spell mark on his forehead.
It dawned on the professor.
He cleared his throat and switched the pipe in his left hand to his right.
"Before I start class, I'll say a few things. Professor Yao tapped his pipe on the lectern—even though it was just a projection, the pipe slammed on the lectern with a thumping sound that startled the eyes of a group of young wizards.
Lao Yao had a satisfied smile on his face.
"First of all, as you can see...... I've been busy lately, and I'm probably going to use projection in class. However, this will not affect the normal teaching and learning schedule. ”
"This is something that was reported at the joint meeting of professors, and if there are students who plan to make a small report, you can save your ink. ”
Hearing this slightly playful sarcasm, there were finally a few laughs in the classroom, and there was a little more lively atmosphere.
Professor Yao smiled and nodded, paused, and then continued:
“...... In fact, the school year of Charms is almost over. In the remaining four weeks before the final exam, we will focus on reviewing the various knowledge and key points related to magic that we have learned throughout the school year, and at the same time strengthen the combing and learning of some theoretical knowledge. ”
"For example, the mantra 'Yuanchen Guardian' that has made you think about it for a whole year. ”
At the mention of 'Yuanchen Guardian', the last bit of running spirit in the class finally cheered up and focused on the professor's class.
In the first Charms class at the school, Professor Yao wrote the words 'Yuanchen Guardian', but throughout the year, he did not explain too much about these four words.
Seniors, other professors, and even parents outside the school were so secretive about these four words that no one could give an accurate and clear explanation. The books in the library that are related to the content are stored in the deepest part of the library, and if you want to borrow them, you need a note signed by the dean.
Almost every month, a topic is raised, but no one answers.
Now, the puzzle that has been going on for almost a year is about to be answered.
Everyone cheered up.
Professor Yao tugged at the corners of his mouth, and the wrinkles on his face deepened his smile:
"The second thing has to do with security. In the morning, I was notified by the school that due to some special threats, the school decided to impose a curfew in the near future. The time is from sunset to sunrise the next day. During this period, any unauthorized exit from the school is prohibited. ”
"Of course, after applying, you can still go to the library and study room. ”
"Oh, and also, from now on, the school will no longer provide goat milk, and students in need can submit a written application to the school...... Well, the notice clearly states that Professor Li Qihuang and the university hospital are jointly responsible for the review of relevant applications. ”
Hearing the second announcement, several members of the Sin Hunting Team sitting in the back row of the classroom glanced at each other in unison, with surprise, excitement, and uneasiness in their eyes.
Surprised and excited, their suggestion to the school was clearly taken seriously.
The uneasiness is that, judging by the school's reaction, this is clearly not a trivial matter – especially with the person in charge of the review, from which anyone with a brain can smell the danger signal.
"Professor, what about the fish-people in Linzhong Lake, do they have a curfew?" shouted a student in the classroom, interrupting everyone's attention to the goat's milk, and causing everyone to burst into laughter.
The fishmen of Linzhong Lake have been making trouble for a while recently, which has caused many people to be impatient.
"Valuable question. Professor Yao didn't laugh at this question, but was a little serious: "If the fishmen of the Linzhonghu tribe think that they are obliged to obey the school's management, then they should also enforce a curfew." If the fish people think they are independent of the school, they can try to challenge the school's ban. ”
This answer made many people think.
