Chapter 37: The First Lesson
On the first day of study, there was no such thing as a welcome ceremony, and the other magicians and alchemists were busy with their own business, and a few good people would greet them. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoJust as Lin Ye understood the essence of magic and alchemy, they were just a little drop of water and could not affect the rushing of the river. Since I can't affect the flow of the river, I'm going to splash a wave. Thinking like this, Lin Ye walked into the classroom of their first class with Amy and the other eleven people. They were all only apprentices now, and they couldn't wear robes yet, so they were all dressed in the clothes they were used to.
Morin College does not have a fixed classroom for new and old students, but will give you a note with a plan for the year, so that you can choose to study. The classroom that Lin Ye arrived at according to the instructions of the note was dedicated to teaching the basic knowledge and techniques of magic and alchemy, and Hela told them that everyone should study in such a classroom for a year, and only after a year can they pass the assessment to choose the tendency of magic and alchemy and study further.
This room is much like the other rooms, the overall reddish-brown color with yellow and black is very simple and not ornate, and one of the walls is inlaid with a black wooden plank. On the walls on both sides were a cabinet full of books, which looked a little old from the outside, some of the covers were starting to break, and the pages were even more yellowed, and they would break like dead leaves at any time. Lin Ye didn't take out a book to read, just looking at the title was enough to make him dizzy.
In the middle of the classroom is a long wooden table with the remnants of wax clearly visible, as well as phrases or drawings that students have drawn out because they are bored. On either side of the long table are two wooden stools, which look a little old but no less rigid than a new one.
Twelve people sat around the table, and everyone except for a few who had no companions or had no intention of making friends at all, everyone else would talk to each other. Bernie Winslet clearly belongs to the former, he has always had a tense face since he came here, and unlike Ackrod's coldness, Bernie's coldness is cold. A pair of sword eyebrows hung over the deep blue eyes of the Winslets, and the high nose bridge and fair skin showed the atmosphere of the aristocracy, but there was no sense of elegance. He doesn't talk to anyone, even if others take the initiative to talk, he will turn a deaf ear, and make others bored. He crossed his hands and pursed his lips from time to time, not knowing what he was thinking.
Do you disdain to be in the company of us civilians? In the conversation, it can be known that there are four nobles present in addition to Bernie, and most of the other nobles have basically been eliminated in the field test. Lin Ye looked at Bernie opposite from time to time, this person always gave him a strange feeling, and it was like this from the first time they met. Not a liking or a disgust, an indescribable feeling, he was like a beast lurking in the shadows, ready to show its fangs at any moment.
Is it a sense of crisis? Also, after fierce competition, I can get the opportunity to study at Morin Academy, and this person is also very ambitious, and it is estimated that he will not be worse than others in learning.
Time passed minute by minute, and the teacher still did not arrive. A few people began to lose their breath and started to quarrel with their newly made friends. Amy was also bored, but he didn't join the crowd, he searched for the bookshelf behind him a few times, took out a copy of "The Beginning of Alchemy" and studied it. Lin Ye stayed for a while and picked out a book to read like Amy, he took "Introduction to Enchantment", but he didn't have any magic foundation, he couldn't read this book at all. After reading for a while, Lin Ye gave up continuing to read the book, and he changed to a copy of "The Beginning of Magic". Bernie was also holding a book, and the title of A Brief History of Magic and Alchemy could be seen on the black spine.
Five of the twelve were studying, and the others were either talking and laughing or fighting. Suddenly, a sound of footsteps stepped in from outside the door, and the person who came was dressed in a white robe without a trace of dust, holding a basic book in his hand, but there was no anger on the faces of the few people who were fighting, or there was no expression at all.
Looking at the person who should be their teacher, Lin Ye was in a daze, this was obviously the middle-aged man who told him in the lava island that he was testing volcanic activity! What surprised Lin Ye even more was that the middle-aged man wore a badge symbolizing a magician on his chest. The black, translucent badge is embellished with a dazzling gold star and a burning flame carved from rubies, a magician who specializes in fire magic. However, there is only one magician in the whole continent - Roger Brooke, the headmaster of Morin Academy!
The rest of the room was equally stunned, and they also recognized the badge, which was a rare sight for the headmaster to come and teach in person. Those few people who were still playing and chatting just now couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, putting on such a posture in front of the principal was looking for death, they didn't want to be dropped out of school as soon as they entered school.
Principal Roger looked around at the twelve people present, and the words spit out from his cold face were like cold winter, "I will spare you once for making trouble and talking before I come, and when I go back, I will copy the "Beginning of Magic" and "The Beginning of Alchemy", and give it to me in a month, and then I will be directly expelled next time." ”
"Ah, these two books are too thick, aren't they?" one complained. These two books are indeed very thick, and the two books are about the height of a palm-and-a-half when stacked together, and it is impossible to finish copying them in a month without staying up late.
Principal Roger glanced at the man, "Do you have any objections?" ”
"No...... I have no objection. The man said quickly.
"Well, you can copy it twice. ”
The man's mouth opened to say something, but he swallowed the words again when he looked at Roger's cold face.
"Do any of you have any objections? Principal Roger looked at everyone with a straight face, and none of them dared to speak, "Very good, then let's go to class." ”
The class lasted two hours, and Roger had them take out the corresponding books from the shelves, tell them about the origins of magic and alchemy, and teach them two very simple spells, candlelight and fetching. It's just that because they haven't gone to get the magic wand yet, these two simple spells can't be used for the time being.
The spell is made up of several obscure words, not the lingua franca or the ancient language of Ion, and it is difficult to pronounce a short spell well. It also took Lin Ye and Amy more than ten minutes to memorize the two spells.
"That's all for today's lesson, continue to study after those two spells. Assemble in this room when the bell rings at noon, and I will take you to receive your very own magic staff, which will stay with you for the rest of your life if you major in magic in the future, and remember that. And tomorrow morning, you will use your staff to perform the two magic I taught you today, and you will do it yourself if you can't do it. Roger said solemnly.
The hearts of the people were full of anticipation for the magic wand, but the expectation of tomorrow's inspection also faded, who knows what the consequences of not being able to cast those two magic spells will be?
