After Bruce Jr. left, the atmosphere in the room fell silent for a moment, and Schiller cleared his throat and drew everyone's attention back, and everyone suddenly felt a little nervous, very worried that the professor would take fire on them.

"Excessive humility will make you a lamb in the eyes of the wicked, and this is the first lesson you will learn in Gotham Academy of Magic."

Schiller spoke, but in a calm tone, "Pride is not necessarily a bad thing in the wizarding world, and excessive obedience to authority here can kill you, and if you let it go to those powerful beings, the consequence is to sacrifice your body and soul." ”

Strange, who was leaning back in his chair, nodded very reservedly, obviously agreeing with Schiller's point of view, but soon Schiller said.

"But it is also important to distinguish between friend and foe, and you must know who is with you and who you are with, and all the effort you put into learning knowledge and mastering skills is only worth it if you beat your enemies and respect and love your kind."

Konstantin nodded, and he and Zatanna led the applause, and then there was applause from below.

Schiller shook his head and said, "I know that this occasion is not suitable for preaching, but the precautions I want to say include that it is best to be polite to your teachers and professors, and not to wantonly attack and insult your classmates, our school has a punishment mechanism." ”

At this point, all the children pricked up their ears, they were indeed impatient to preach, but they were also afraid of punishment.

"We have different penalties for different degrees of wrongdoing, from community service penalties such as cleaning common rooms, trimming fences and shrubs, and waking up early to clear paved roads and corridors, to lockdowns, sue parents, and suspensions and expulsions, which you have heard in other schools."

The children below all nodded, and then Schiller continued, "Different houses have different school rules, you can ask the prefect of your own grade for details...... By the way, did I say that? This house is a strong prefect system, and prefects are the leaders of the grades. ”

There was a noisy discussion below, the prefect system has almost been abolished in modern schools, at most there will be a student council president, and some schools have even stopped electing class presidents.

But this is not unreasonable, too much decentralization will lead to the students' class is too obvious, and many children of this age do not know how to use power correctly, once a child has too much power in his hands, it is easy to form gangs and school bullying, so many schools in Europe and the United States, especially in the lower grades, do not elect class cadres at all.

But the magic academy is a special situation, children must learn how to use power and how to face power earlier, simply put, you can't even deal with the prefect, you still want to deal with angels and demons?

The purpose of ordinary public education is to ensure fairness as much as possible, but the purpose of the Gotham Academy of Magic is precisely to let the students understand the dangers of the wizarding world in advance, so a certain degree of oppression is necessary, and the flowers in the greenhouse and the living Buddha who have no temper will only give up the school's cultivation of him to those powerful beings.

Schiller glanced at the students below, the group of younger, usually only eight or nine years old, all of them looked like quails with some trepidation, Schiller's gaze paused on Barry Allen's face, and then continued.

"You're younger, so it's a separate year activity, and then you can write down on a piece of paper which house you want to choose, and once the houses are divided, we will choose the prefect of your grade."

"That's why I said you had better have a certain level of respect for the dean and the professors, there are many things that only we know, and we have no intention of oppressing the students, so if you don't humbly ask, we have no opinion, but there is no one to make up for what you missed due to backwardness and ignorance."

Schiller smiled, stood up with the other professors, and began handing out notes to the students.

The younger students took the note and wrote while whispering to their peers, most of them were gloating, what little Bruce said about the poor ghost just now, but not just scolding Barry alone, even the children from wealthy families did not look down on him as if he was the only one in the world who was rich.

It's okay now, he left early, and when the time comes, it won't be his share in the selection of prefects in the academy, and one of the major features of the strong prefect system is that the prefect has the power over all other students, and almost dominates an entire grade, it seems that that annoying blue eyes may only be able to be a man with his tail between his legs in the future.

Thinking like this, the students wrote their own notes, because they entered the school late so they had a certain understanding of the reputation of each college, and even if they had not experienced it, they all chose the same college as their own interests.

Barry Allen finally chose the Rodriguez Academy, not because he really followed the advice or couldn't swallow it, but because he was still interested in magical theory.

Since he was a child, he has liked to watch some magical themes, and he has fantasized about becoming an all-powerful mage, but the focus of his liking magic is the strange requirements of magic, and as for actually fighting with others with a wand, he is not so interested.

After the division was completed, the deans led the students to the dean's office, Schiller's office was located in the highest of the floating spires of the Rodriguez College, on the same level as the student dormitory and the common room, but because there were too few students in the college at present, the student dormitory in that spire was not occupied, so there was only one dean's office on that entire floor.

When he led the students to the front of the college, Kane took the initiative to step forward and began to introduce the facilities in the college to the new students.

"You have to watch the steps under your feet carefully, but it's not because you will step on the air, these suspended steps look dangerous, but in fact, under each step are carved wind and floating runes, even if you fall down, you will be blown up, it's just a little scary."

"I'm sure you've seen that there are runes on the front of the steps, these runes change every day, and the runes displayed every day are the runes taught by the professors of this academy in class, but there will be some interesting stories and short sentences that the professor will not tell in class."

"If you look down at it as you walk, it will allow you to review your knowledge and allow you to concentrate on your feet, instead of fighting on the stairs and falling down."

The students began to nod, and Kane smiled and said, "I don't mean to speak ill of people behind my back, but your senior sister, Miss Hallie Quisel, who left with that blue-eyed student before, has fallen once before, and the funny thing is that she falls down an average of three times a week, as if she can never remember to look down at the road." ”

The children laughed, and Kane shook his head and said, "So don't expect her to introduce these things like I did, but I hope that Mr. Wayne can rely on his intelligence and wealth to avoid disaster, and don't really fall into trouble." ”

"Lefa." Schiller called Kane's name, turned his head to look at him, and said, "You have a lot to say today, and I hope that when you will give a lecture on your homework later, you will be able to answer it like this." ”

Kane smiled embarrassedly, ran quickly behind Schiller, and then beckoned behind him, "Hurry up, gentlemen and ladies, I have to have dinner after talking about the precautions." ”

Schiller led them to the dean's office on the top floor, which was also wide and bright, with curved floor-to-ceiling windows the size of half a spire, a bright and neat marble floor, a hollow on the second floor, and dense bookshelves on the walls above the second floor.

On the first floor, there is a sitting area with soft carpets and sofas, desks and office chairs with also bookshelves, a staircase leading to the second floor and some sculptures that shimmer with a magical sheen.

"This star sculpture is a gift from Constantine to our dean, and this moving painting is a congratulatory gift from Jim, the master of the night...... Look at the shredder, which was a gift from Professor Schiller's brilliant graduates. ”

"Don't underestimate that shredder, it can shred not only your papers, but also yourself, so you'd better hand in some papers that aren't so much of an eyesore, or you'll ......"

Kane deliberately grimaced to scare the younger students, and Miss Spencer rolled her eyes, stroked her hair, and said, "Don't listen to him, Professor Schiller, although he looks serious and has strict academic requirements, is very good to the students." ”

"For example, we can come to his office at any time and knock on the door, just ask any questions, and he will occasionally come to visit us in the common room, and he will hardly care about the little mistakes we make in life, but only if you turn in your homework on time."

"Do we have a lot of homework?" One of the students asked.

"I don't leave a lot of homework." Schiller walked to his desk, looked back at the students, and said, "I value the quality of the assignment more, so you can complete it according to the number of words, and even if you put in the most effort, it won't take more than two hours to complete the assignment, including searching for information." ”

"Okay, come on, kids, I'm going to explain to you the precautions of this academy, if you don't listen carefully, your seniors and seniors won't repeat it to you, because these are some very basic rules."

The students walked to the reception area, and at Schiller's suggestion, they sat down on the sofa and the carpet next to it, and the old students very consciously gave way to the new students, most of them standing behind the sofa or against the bookshelves.

Kane went to light the fireplace next to him, and brought some tea and biscuits, Barry felt a little hungry, but he didn't dare to get them, Miss Spencer took the initiative to pick up the plate of biscuits and distribute them to the freshmen.

"You don't have to be so restrictive, we often hold afternoon tea and reading clubs in the common room at two or three o'clock in the afternoon, and you can also come and learn a lot when the time comes." Miss Spencer handed a cup of tea to Barry Allen, and then went to greet the students behind him.

Holding the slightly warm cup, Barry felt a little better, the tension in his heart dissipated, and he took a bite of the biscuit, which he found should have been freshly baked on the fireplace, and it was exceptionally crispy, filled with the aroma of butter and cheese.

After eating and drinking for a while, the students obviously relaxed, and they got together in twos and threes to communicate, but everyone had just met, and there was nothing to communicate about, and most of them were talking about the arrogant blue eyes before.

After a while, Schiller came down from the second floor, some school uniforms in hand, and Kane hurried up to pick them up.

At this time, the students found that Schiller was wearing a rather formal mage robe, although it was still black, but it was a little more gorgeous and elegant than the serious and formal black suit.
