Chapter 1687: Bruce Wayne and the Philosopher's Stone (2)

The world is still filled with a curling white mist, and the tall buildings on the skyline are like mirages in a sea of clouds, and many magical-style buildings float in the sky on top of the usual foundations of Gotham City.

The most striking of these are the undulating Gothic minarets, the cylindrical minarets floating in the sky, each connected by a floating staircase, and a number of students in mage robes can be seen up close.

Each minaret is surrounded by long Gothic windows with inward-curved corners that give students standing or sitting in the brightly lit common room, chatting quietly or sitting alone at their desks.

Facing the window were huge bookshelves that took up half of the curved walls, with projections of almost all the books they could find in the wizarding world, and some of the students climbed to the top with ladders, took down the tomes, stacked them taller than their heads, and then staggered to their desks and began to nibble on them.

One of the older brown-haired boys was standing in front of the felt board at the door of the common room, pulling out the nails that had been used to hold the previous timetable in place, and then nailing the new timetable, he looked at his results, nodded in satisfaction, clapped his hands, and said.

"Dear second-year students, please don't forget, the latest magic theory class has been moved to tomorrow afternoon, and you need to bring the little paper you wrote after the last class, and Professor Schiller will give a comment."

As soon as he finished speaking, a babbling female voice came from behind him: "Kane! My good prefect, what topic did you write about in your essay? Show me, I really can't write half a word. ”

The boy known as Kane looked back at the red-haired girl behind him, he frowned and said, "Miss Spencer, I really didn't say you, but didn't you listen to Professor Schiller's request for homework in class?" ”

"Actually, I listened, but I just didn't understand." Miss Spencer, with her unkempt red curly hair, grabbed her hair vigorously and said, "You don't know, I've been living with my mother in the Metropolis, and I've only recently returned, and I really don't understand the complicated code words of your Gothams." ”

"What does this have to do with that, it's obviously written in textbooks......"

"Come on, come on, help me!! Why do I have to hand in my homework as soon as I get back?!! ”

Another shrill scream came from the doorway, and when Kane and Miss Spencer turned back together, they saw a girl with white blond hair rushing in, and she stopped in front of the class surface with a sharp brake, and her eyes widened to scrutinize the timetable, and let out a more high-pitched scream.

"Hallie, didn't you take a three-month off-absence? Why did you come back early? Kane asked with some concern.

Hallie opened her mouth for a moment, revealing a slightly complicated expression, and then said, "It's hard for me to explain it to you, but, well, have you ever imagined that you guys in another universe are outright love brains?" I'm so fed up with her! ”

"Clown, clown, clown, it's like she can't live without clown! Our business was doing so well, and she had to spend energy to surprise her little biscuit, what a hopeless stupid woman, and I would never her again! ”

Kane and Miss Spencer looked at each other and saw that neither of them understood what Harley was saying, but they didn't mind, because they knew that this girl named Hallie Quezel was a bit crazy and often spoke amazingly, and was a very typical Gotham genius little madman.

There is a high tolerance for such people in this academy, or after the first few months of experience, but all normal people shy away from this magical theory academy, because the things studied in this academy are too difficult, obscure and crazy.

The magic of the DC world is not a force that appears out of thin air, most of them come from angels and demons, so if you want to study the theory of magic in depth, you have to study the origin of demons and angels, and you always have to dip into some religion and theology, and if you want to study religion and theology, you will inevitably have to study history and culture, and it can be said that many words in this knowledge cannot even be found in the dictionary.

Even for adults, studying history, culture and religion is a very boring task, and a few children of this age can afford to study these things.

If this is the case, there should not be many people in this college at this time, but although there are not many people in the public room at this time, it is conservatively estimated that there are more than a dozen people, and this is only one of the public rooms, which shows that this college has enrolled a lot of students.

Suffice it to say, most of the students at this school are Gotham natives, and they are well-born Gotham natives, in short, almost all of them are descendants of the Gotham family.

This brown-haired Kane is the descendant of the Kane family, and Miss Spencer is the second daughter of the young leader of the Spencer family of the Twelve families, and the youngest son of the Lawrence family side branch recorded in front of the class schedule, the niece of the old Drake of the Drake family, and Tim's cousin, Miss Drake.

This group of students is actually the children of the major families with magical talents, and most of them are not the heirs of the family, they are either the youngest sons of the main line, or the children of the side branches.

Most of these children will be arranged to study art or philosophy, and they will have more inspiration and patience than ordinary people, plus their family background is very good, they are not short of money at all, and they do not need to compromise for practicality, and they can study what they like.

What else could a Gotham kid like? It must be a strange knowledge of black magic! So where can you learn this kind of black magic knowledge? Of course, it's the Academy of Magical Theory, or now it's called the Rodriguez Academy.

After the first few months of course experience, the vast majority of students learned about the style of these colleges, and they also abandoned the few special awkward names such as magic theory and magic craft that were officially formulated by the school at the beginning, and began to call these colleges directly by the dean's surname.

The director of the Academy of Magical Theory is Schiller Rodriguez, so this is naturally called the Rodriguez Academy, and the Academy of Magical Craft is also known as the Zatara Academy, and the Academy of Magical Forces is naturally called the Strange Academy.

After experiencing the teaching styles of several deans firsthand, most of the students also developed bizarre stereotypes about the various colleges.

Naturally, Rodriguez College doesn't need to talk about it, in Gotham University, Schiller's reputation can stop children crying at night, and most children have heard of him even if they haven't seen the professor in person.

And because during that period of time, the children of the nobles from better families gathered around Schiller, and they naturally felt that this academy should be a place for rich people to do academics, where there should be strict hierarchies and many rules, and it was difficult for ordinary people to integrate into it.

So either you're a crazy genius or you're a good heir, or you'd better stay away from this strict professor.

Zatanna Zatara's Academy of Magical Crafts is popular with a large number of students, especially those from poor families who are not well-off and want to make a fundamental difference in their lives.

As the saying goes, if you master a craft, you won't starve to death, these children are more inclined to learn technology, Miss Magician is very patient with her students, and she is very gentle when teaching, and Konstantin, who also teaches in this academy, is also more humorous and easy-going, and often likes to joke with students.

Therefore, Zatara Academy has the most relaxed atmosphere of all the colleges, everyone is giggling and fiddling with magic machines, boiling potions, outlining magic circles, and carving runes, and will become the mainstay of the magic craft industry in the future.

The atmosphere of the Power Academy, also known as Strange Academy, is relatively fanatical, after all, Strange is a fanatical human race supremacist, and his education for students is more inclined to a sense of honor and mission.

To put it simply, the slogan of Strange College is to study for the rise of mankind, constantly temper strength, hone the mind, and focus on sublimation are all just to protect the safety of the earth, so the students gathered here either have courage or a great sense of responsibility.

However, these three houses alone are not enough to satisfy this group of students, some people just want to learn everything, know a little bit about everything, but do not specialize in any one, but prefer to move between several houses, develop interpersonal relationships, organize various activities, in short, social terrorists actively develop future connections in the wizarding world.

Such students are also useful to the wizarding world, as there can be no only technicians, scholars, and guardians in a society, but always managers, politicians, and businessmen.

So in addition to the three colleges, a separate Academy of Magical Balance was opened, and the dean of this academy was none other than Bruce Wayne, so this academy was called Wayne Academy.

Of course, this is also the result of many considerations, after all, if the important personnel of the official organization of the wizarding world are to be produced in this academy in the future, then it is better for them to have a dean who is deterrent enough, and in order to strengthen the connection between the wizarding world and the real world, this dean should also have some influence in the real world, and Bruce Wayne is the best choice.

And the stereotype of this college is also very classic, to put it simply, those who can enter this college are people, look at the eyes, read the air, attract contacts, organize activities, establish clubs, and establish friendly relations with the students of each college are the most common things they do.

In this way, after the basic structure of the four colleges was decided, the students chose their own colleges according to their own preferences, and in order to establish the characteristics of each college, each college also chose its own representative color and designed its own college emblem.

The representative color of the Rodriguez Academy is black, exactly the same color as the professor's daily suit, and the shape of the emblem is the top view of an open umbrella, on which is depicted a rune representing knowledge in the wizarding world, a bit like an X and an An superimposed on each other, and it doesn't look a little lively.

The representative color of Zatara College is purple, and the emblem of the academy is the shape of the side of Miss Magician's hat, with two symmetrical steam cloud patterns, and dark patterns of gears and potion bubbles underneath, which looks very complex and luxurious.

The representative color of the Strange House is gold, mainly following the color scheme of Kama Taj, and the emblem of the college is an inverted triangle with a pattern of a globe on it, and the earth is surrounded by a circle of small runes, to the effect of "full concentration, strength sublimation", which looks full of passion and power.

The representative color of Wayne College is blue, which is the color of Bruce's eyes, and it is also the color of the consensus in human society that represents authority, and the college emblem is the shape of the Wayne family's family crest, which is the shape of two hands clasped together, which looks calm and powerful.

In addition to the students who have already experienced the course and have chosen their preferred college, there will be a new group of students who have recently enrolled, most of whom have missed the first semester because of the long distance or the lack of ready.

"Hurry up, don't write it, you can't finish it anyway, those freshmen are going to be divided today, don't you want to take a look?" Harley stood by the door and beckoned to the people in the room and said, "We need to bring the smarter newcomers to our academy, and we can't let anyone else take them." ”

"Hallie, are you sure you ......"

"Stop talking nonsense, otherwise the freshmen will definitely be deceived by the guys in the Blue Academy, they are the best at deceiving people, just like that Bruce Wayne, let's go!"

Kane and Miss Spencer, along with a few other students, had to follow Harley, and together they walked up the stairs between the spires that floated in the air, all the way down to the Great Hall.

But before he could enter the auditorium, Harley met a dazed little boy outside the side door, and Harley walked over and patted him on the back, startling him.

Harley asked, "Who are you?" Why are you here? ”

"I'm a freshman in this class, and the letter from the bat says I am."

"Then why don't you hurry up and enter the Sorting House, it's time to start."

"But I didn't find the door......"

"Why are you so stupid? Isn't the door over there? Follow me...... By the way, what's your name? ”

"Me? My name is Barry, Barry Allen. ”

Hallie's eyes lit up with a "poof".
