164. Scott's first arithmetic divination
"You already understand the magic of arithmetic and divination."
Professor Victor reached out and ripped a piece of parchment from the table and handed it to Scott.
"Let's try it!"
He said a little impatiently.
"You're in the fourth grade, and I've already finished the basics in the third grade."
He spoke very quickly.
"But only students who understand the true meaning of this course can understand it, and if they don't understand it, they will only do mechanical calculations!"
He shook the parchment in his hand.
"You can already try!"
"Okay."
Scott hesitantly reached out and took the piece of paper.
Although Professor Victor said this, he didn't really know what he was supposed to do......
At this point, Professor Victor handed over another quill, "Think about what you're going to measure?" Be specific! ”
Forget it, just try it, it doesn't matter if you fail anyway.
With that in mind, Scott reached for his pen and wrote the word [parent] on a piece of paper.
"I want to know my parents, how they are doing," he said. ”
"Parents?" Professor Victor nodded, "Quick, list the known conditions!" ”
Scott then wrote down the names of his parents on a piece of paper, as well as their location, Spain.
"Knowing the conditions can be written more!" "The more detailed the conditions, the more accurate the results will be!" ”
"Okay."
Scott began to write down everything he could think of.
He quickly filled half a sheet of parchment.
When Professor Victor saw him stop writing, he immediately said, "Isn't that new?" So, now convert these conditions into numbers based on the alphanumeric correspondence table you've learned! ”
Scott nodded, quickly scribbling a string of numbers under the words on the paper.
"If you're skilled," said Professor Victor...... "you can write the corresponding number in the first step of enumerating the known conditions!" ”
It took Scott some time to convert the words into numbers.
"Now, start the math!" Professor Victor urged, "You can use the magic we've learned!" ”
Scott put down his quill pen, took out his wand and waved it, thinking about the laws of arithmetic and divination, and reciting incantations in his mouth.
"The law of arithmetic."
This was the only spell Scott had ever learned in the course of arithmetic divination.
What it does is that when you fully understand the algorithm, you can use this spell instead of tedious calculations to come to the right conclusion.
The quill on the parchment was immediately erected, and the tip of the pen shuttled across the paper, recomposing the numbers until they were individually numbered.
These numbers are one of nine numbers from 1 to 9.
"Very well, now I will teach you real arithmetic divination!"
Professor Victor raised his wand.
"Watch my movements, read along!"
His wand slashed through the air in several intricate, sleek arcs, and finally a little bit.
"The numbers are revealed!"
He then withdrew his wand and emphasized, "In this process, you must be firm in your purpose, what you want to divination!" ”
Scott nodded solemnly, recalling Professor Victor's movements, and the wand in his hand moved.
"The numbers are revealed!"
The tip of his wand was on the parchment.
At that moment, he saw the numbers on the parchment flutter for a moment, then stop again.
"Nice, but not accurate enough!"
Professor Victor then raised his wand and repeated.
"The numbers are revealed!"
He looked at Scott, "Remember, get your sensitivity to numbers!" ”
Scott thought he was saying something abstract!
Fortunately, Scott is at the stage of understanding arithmetic divination today, and he actually miraculously understands what he means.
He nodded again, and waved his wand again.
"The numbers are revealed!"
At this moment, he closed his eyes, and a concrete picture seemed to appear in his mind.
The figures of Michael and Emilia appeared clearly in his mind, and countless embodied figures were swirling and flying around the two figures, constantly arranging and combining.
As the tip of his wand clicked on the parchment, he snapped his eyes open.
On the parchment, the numbers from the previous calculation moved.
The numbers started to scurry across the paper.
In the eyes of Scott and Victor, there are some clear patterns in the movement of those numbers.
Numbers begin to collide with each other and disappear, which means that complex operations are taking place.
Eventually, all the numbers disappeared in the collision, leaving only a single number[6], which stopped above the word [parent].
Scott's legs immediately weakened, and he hurriedly supported the desk with his hands so that he did not fall.
"Huh?"
Professor Victor glanced at him.
"Sorry, you're not an adult yet, and you're not very skilled in the use of arithmetic divination, which causes you to consume a bit too much."
"I didn't expect it to be like this......"
Scott grinned, slowly steasing himself.
"It's okay, it'll be fine when you're proficient." Professor Victor said disapprovingly.
"Yes."
[6] Scott smiled helplessly, staring at the one on the parchment.
He heard Professor Victor ask himself, "Do you know how to interpret it?" ”
Scott replied, "[6], which represents harmony, fraternity, and the concept of family. ”
"It's barely explainable, but you're talking about what we learned in the 'Numbers and Names Divination' section."
Professor Victor said.
"If this were the case, it would not be possible to show the accuracy of the magic of arithmetic divination."
"So, what do I do, Professor?"
Scott looked up at Professor Victor.
Professor Victor pointed to the one on the parchment,[6] "I don't really need to tell you, Mr. Trolope. It's what you've calculated, and the number is spiritual, and you've made a connection with it. ”
"Contact?"
Scott reached out his finger and touched it,[6] but felt nothing.
"Is your perception only real touch?" Professor Victor asked in a stiff tone.
"I see!"
Scott laughed and closed his eyes.
He began to see the world in a magical way.
Soon, his magic clearly sensed the number that was glittering under his fingers.
He hurriedly concentrated his senses, and instantly felt his mind completely sink into that number.
The feeling was indescribable, as if they were communicating with each other, and he had clearly understood the meaning of the number[6].
After a long time, he reopened his eyes.
"Thank you, Professor Victor!"
He was sincerely grateful to the professor in front of him.
"It seems that my parents are doing well in a foreign country!"
He was in a very happy mood at the moment.
Not only because I have reacquainted myself with a magical discipline, but also because I understand the current situation of my parents.
Scott has always felt guilty about Michael and Emilia leaving England.
If it weren't for their son, the couple wouldn't have to leave the town they knew and loved and go to a foreign land to start over.
He was constantly worried about their condition.
Even though it was his mother's maiden home, he was worried that his relatives would not get along badly.
But now he was completely relieved.
