Section 73. First Lesson

"Science is our description of the laws, magic comes from the magic that floats in the world, the food we eat becomes our strength and physical strength, and the ice and snow melt because of the warmth......"

On a clear morning, water droplets on the eaves drip from the window.

Spring is quietly coming.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Plants thrive with fertilization, and this knowledge is science. As for how to conquer knowledge, I will hand you two weapons. ”

The classroom was quiet and everyone listened attentively.

"A weapon called mathematics will allow you to use your wisdom; A weapon is called literature, and it will teach you how to think. ”

"Let's start with the math. We can do the simplest math problem: What is 1 plus 1? ”

Annan gave the floor to the "students" under the podium, Mr. Victor, and they remained silent, apparently not out of ignorance.

"I had two apple pies, and I ate them all, so I didn't have one left!" Except for Martin.

"One Losi and one Silo equals two...... Equals 2! Lossy said.

"But one Crean and one Mina are three, four, five...... Equals 10! Crean puffed out his chest.

There are all kinds of answers, and the most answered are 1, 2, and 3.

"What about 2 plus 2?" Annan slightly increased the difficulty.

"Four!"

"There's still not one left!"

"I can accept 1 plus 3, but 2 plus 2 can't ......"

"What about 4 plus 4?" Annan asked again.

"If you're in a hurry, you won't have any left."

"Eight Fingers ......"

"Why not 1 plus 7 ......"

Annan waited for the noisy words to speak: "What about 8 plus 8? ”

This time, because they only had ten fingers, it was difficult to answer, and the caveman with only four hands proudly said the answer: "Sixteen!" ”

"Seven, because I can only eat nine." Martin is also saying.

Francois couldn't help but look sideways, this guy was actually right......

"Very good, you already know the basic laws of mathematics, let's try this basic problem: chickens and rabbits are in a cage, chickens and rabbits have a total of 35 heads and 94 legs, ask how many chickens and rabbits are there?"

Both humans and cavemen kept their mouths shut, and the classroom was so quiet that a needle could be heard.

Seeing that no one answered, Ingrid, holding the note, said, "There are 23 chickens and 12 rabbits." ”

"Ingrid plus 10 points."

Annan smiled and praised and changed the question: "Do you think a pound of iron ball weighs or a pound of cotton?" ”

"A pound of iron ball!"

The students spoke in unison.

"Are you all stupid? Iron balls and cotton are both a pound. Martin swore and said, "Of course it's cotton." ”

"The answer is just as heavy." Annan said again, looking at Victor, "So who landed first when a pound of iron ball and a ten-pound iron ball fell from the sky?" ”

"Two iron balls will land at the same time...... Mr. Victor said.

"Do you believe it?" Annan asked the others.

"Don't believe it!"

"Cotton must be the last to land." Martin grunted.

Annan took out two iron balls, one 1 pound and one 10 pound, from behind the lectern, and lifted them with a little difficulty, and Annan let go of his hand.

As the students watched, two iron balls hit the ground at the same time, making a muffled sound.

Mr. Victor was indifferent, Francois and Ingrid felt a little novel, and for Rossi and the other paupers, it was no less than seeing magic unleash before their eyes.

When the bell rang outside the window, Annan picked up two iron balls, held them and said, "This is my first lesson: the two weapons handed over to you." ”

Annan stepped out of the classroom with heavy breathing without looking back, and only when he came outside did he breathe a sigh of relief and asked the captain of the guard to help take the two iron balls.

The first lesson was very good, and I couldn't have done better again.

In the office of the school building, Mr. Victor appeared outside the door with a cane in his hand.

"Where did you come up with these things?"

A few days ago, I saw the stubborn old man written by Annan himself, and asked strangely.

"I'm just sorting out what I've discovered."

Mr. Victor was satisfied with the answer, and turned away, revealing Rhona who had come later.

"That's a good thing you said."

"Which one?"

"Magic comes from the magic that floats between worlds, the food we eat turns into our strength and physical strength, and the snow melts away from warmth......"

"I dreamed of you because I missed you."

A gagging Rhona covered her mouth and hurried away, revealing Ingrid.

"I didn't know you and Rona ......"

"Nothing, just a succubus' curse." Annan explained, changing the subject: "Do you have enemies?" I can't think of any more enemies......"

Augusta counts, but Olmedo will get himself in trouble.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ My fiancΓ© Annika. Without the help of Lord Olmedo, I would be his seventeenth wife. ”

Annan said he remembered the name. As soon as Ingrid left, Francois reappeared outside the door.

"You have to talk to me one by one?"

"Uh...... I just wanted to say that you taught great. But why is the chicken ...... Chickens have ......"

"23 chickens and 12 rabbits? You'll find out in a few more days. ”

Every day that followed, Annan would teach the "students" a lesson.

Annan told them that now the confusion of the unit of measurement: an ounce can be one-sixteenth of a pound in weight and a hundred-and-sixty gallon in capacity, so it seems that one gallon is equal to ten pounds? The answer is wrong because the gallon is not a unit of weight.

Even compared to the unit of alchemy, it is quite clear. About a spoonful, the size of a little finger, half a wooden bowl...... Michael is still using this method to alchemy powder little by little.

So Annan wrote three new units on the blackboard: meters; Gram; Milliliter.

10 meters is equal to 1 meter, 1000 meters is equal to 1 kilometer;

1000 grams is equal to 1 kilogram, and 1000 kilograms is equal to 1 ton;

1000 ml is equal to 1 liter;

In the future, Xingyue Bay will adopt these metric units.

At the end of the third day, Mr. Victor and the Bard also began to lecture. The former imparts knowledge, the latter tells the story.

From the fifth day onwards, Annan, who thought that the "students" could advance, increased the difficulty, which made them complain, such as why this bastard named Gema always stored and released water at the same time, and why he had to start at the same time as Annika at a different speed...... Can't they just make an appointment to meet somewhere?

And why do you have to describe the story told by the bard after listening to it, what kind of psychology does the blue curtain express?

How do they know! Maybe the curtains in the author's house happen to be blue!

When the bard asked Annan what the answer was, Annan replied that there was no real answer: "Remember what I said about the two weapons?" 'Literature will teach you how to think'. When you think about why the curtains are blue, you will also think about the meaning of each other's words and actions when you negotiate and trade in the future. ”

As March draws to a close, the snow begins to melt

Xingyue Bay, which has recovered from the ice, is also busy.
