Chapter 209: Astronomy and Lady Emma
Tuesday afternoon is an astronomy class.
Unlike the Hakuding world, astrology, which is the study of the distribution of celestial bodies such as the sun, moon and stars in the universe, is called astrology, while astronomy is the abbreviation of 'Celestial Text'.
In the codex of ancient shamans, astronomy was also referred to as 'magic script'.
As the ancients described, 'It's a magical text'.
When he first came into contact with the concept of astronomy, Zheng Qing had a brief period of confusion.
"Sounds like this astronomy and runes should be about the same?" he rubbed his scalp, comparing the "Sky Text: First Year of College" and "Basic Runes: First Year of College" in his hand, feeling a mess in his mind: "They are all words with magical powers, why do you want to learn two sets?"
"Is this the language and foreign language of the wizarding world?" said the young scholarship student, looking frustrated at the very different symbols on the two books, and feeling deeply Alexander: "I always feel like I'm going to fail this class." ”
Xiao Xiao hid most of his head behind his notebook, and his eyes were rolling rapidly, but this did not affect his distraction from making a simple magic pu for Zheng Qing:
Although there is some deviation in the statement, there is some truth in your understanding...... To be precise, runes are the words used by wizards themselves, while astronomy is a bridge between wizards and other civilizations or races. ”
"Thousands of worlds, land and light monsters, the only constant is the origin of the starry sky that supports the existence of these worlds. ”
"Astronomy is derived from these eternal starry skies. ”
"If runes are the words that wizards themselves use to communicate with heaven and earth, then astronomy is the language that wizards use to communicate with other worlds. ”
"Runes have the natural key bonuses of wizarding civilizations, and no non-wizard race can accurately understand what they mean...... You can think of it as some kind of separate contract between a wizard and a source of magic. ”
"Astronomy, on the other hand, has magical powers, but its most fundamental purpose is communication...... Communication with other civilized races. ”
"Devils in hell, gods in the sky, strange races in the extraterrestrial starry sky, any kind of intelligent life, wizards can use astronomy to communicate with them...... In a sense, mastering astronomy is a necessary guarantee for wizards to go further, so the Wizards Alliance will list this course as one of the basic education that registered wizards must complete. ”
This statement made Zheng Qing very curious.
"Who invented the text of the sky?" he looked at the textbook in his hand with great interest, very interested in the civilization that could popularize this kind of writing, and couldn't help but guess: "Could it be that there is an existence similar to 'American Emperor' in the wizarding world?"
"What is the United States?" Dr. Xiao finally raised his head, looking inexplicable: "Sounds like a great inventor...... But the text of the sky does not need to be invented, and any race with sufficient ability can perceive these symbols from the origin of the starry sky. ”
Zheng Qing tugged at the corners of his mouth and did not explain to Xiao Xiao the meaning of the American Emperor in the Baiding world.
He just expressed his confidence in learning astronomy once again:
"I didn't do well in foreign languages before...... On the contrary, the language scores are very good. I originally thought that there would be no such troubles after arriving in the wizarding world, but I didn't expect that the scumbag would be able to deeply feel his inherent attributes at any time. ”
In the blink of an eye, Zheng Qing's college career has entered the fourth week.
It didn't surprise him.
As a state-funded student, Zheng Qing did not excel in Ms. Emma's class – of course, this excellence was mainly the conclusion reached in comparison with another state-funded student, or his performance in Fu's class.
In fact, if it is required by the standard of an ordinary student, Zheng Qing's performance in astronomy class is still up to standard.
At least Ms. Emma was pleased with his performance.
Ms. Emma is a professor of astronomy.
She was a stocky old lady with a serious expression.
There are many legends about her in the schools of Jiuyou Academy.
For example, this lady will ask the students in her class to enter the classroom an hour early, ask them to do an exam question every week, and submit an astronomy practice post every day that the class leader will collect and turn in.
Correspondingly, the vast majority of students in Ms. Emma's class are able to meet the minimum standards for registered wizards.
This earned her universal respect at the Nine Haves Academy.
So much so that in the academy, the common name of the red-robed wizards for Ms. Emma is 'Boss A' - this title is not the slightest derogatory or ridiculous, but contains a lot of love, after all, for a college where test scores determine everything, professors who can bring better grades to students will always get more recognition.
In the first astronomy class, Zheng Qing felt the aura of this big boss.
As rumored had it, the lady arrived earlier than all the students and was standing on the podium looking through the thin roster of students in her hand.
She looked like a rich old lady, with a ruddy complexion, two deep folds could always be seen at the edge of her bulging cheeks, her short fluffy curly red hair piled up on the top of her head, and her black robe was clean and straight, giving the impression of simplicity and ability.
She wore a pair of large round black-rimmed glasses, and through the thick lenses, the bubbles of the eyes were slightly larger, which made her eyes bulge slightly, and in a sense, made Lady Emma's gaze look much harsher.
Seeing Zheng Qing's somewhat flustered figure, Ms. Emma glanced at the roster in her hand, and at the same time sternly ordered:
"Hurry up and get into the classroom!"
Glancing at the classroom, seeing Xiao Xiao's decadent black messy hair and large notebook behind the classroom, Zheng Qing hurriedly lowered his head and trotted over.
"What are you doing?" Before he could sit down, Zheng Qing gasped and asked Xiao Xiao casually, while looking up and looking around.
Everyone buried their heads in their desks and quietly opened the textbooks, completely devoid of the lively and relaxed atmosphere of other pre-class classes.
"Write poetry. Xiao Xiao looked a little irritable, constantly playing with the brush in his hand, turning around, and writing something on the paper at hand from time to time.
"Huh?" Zheng Qing opened his mouth, and before he could say anything, he felt a low pressure spread around him.
The sharp gaze on the podium swept around the classroom, and the gradually steaming atmosphere suddenly cooled, Zheng Qing raised his head, seemed to feel the stinging sensation in his gaze, and hurriedly lowered his head again.
It wasn't until the last person walked into the classroom that Ms. Emma immediately closed the roster in her hand and waved the door shut.
From beginning to end, the stick figure figure behind the door was dumb and silent.
"From today until the end of your college career, I will be the teacher of your magic language class and study with you. ”
"Before the class starts, I would like to emphasize my concept of time: from the next class, everyone must enter the classroom an hour early, and any students who are late must make up a copy of the magic exam questions and attach them to the next day's practice questions. ”
"Unlike other professors, my class assignments are submitted on a daily basis, which is collected by the class leader from Monday to Friday and turned in to my office, and my assignments on Saturdays and Sundays are combined with Monday. ”
"Do you have any comments?"
No one spoke.
Zheng Qing lowered his head and lamented that his happy college life was gone.
Lady Emma was visibly pleased with the silent atmosphere of approval in the classroom, and her tone was a little kinder:
"Mowen is a rational without passion!"
"If you study the scriptures with a strong desire, you will become slaves to the scriptures! ”
"Unlike divination, talent is not the decisive factor, although it occupies a certain place in your entire magical life. ”
"Some people can easily master 365 standard characters in one year, while others can barely master the 49 standard characters required for their diploma in four years – this is the difference in talent. ”
"But hard work makes up for it. ”
"If, during your four years of college, you study strictly according to my schedule, then by the time you graduate, I can guarantee that everyone will be able to master the one hundred and eight standard runes necessary to register a wizard. ”
"So, remember, don't waste time in my classes!"
"Now, are there any other questions?"
The classroom was silent.
"Teacher, our class is astronomy, did you go to the wrong classroom?"
A puzzling inquiry could be heard from a student in the corner.
Zheng Qing smacked his lips quietly.
He wouldn't have asked such a stupid common-sense question.
"The magic text is astronomy, the magic text is the name I am used to, and you must get used to it in the future!" The eyelids behind the black frame drooped, and Ms. Emma's tone was very stiff: "Remember, when I speak in class, I have to raise my hand first!
No one raised their hand again.
In this way, a group of little quails were easily suppressed by Boss A.
