Philosophy of magic is a general education course, and of course, because some colleges do not require this knowledge, so this course is included in the school-wide elective course.

That said, since there are only a handful of professors in the entire university who are capable of teaching this course, the philosophy of magic has always been arranged as a large class by the Registrar's Office, where students from different faculties are mixed together.

After all, only veteran professors with deep qualifications and well-informed knowledge were able to explain this obscure course to young wizards about the origins of magic.

For example, the dean of Jiuyou Academy, Yao Xiaomi.

Maybe it's because of his daunting title, maybe it's because his lectures are really good.

Lao Yao's philosophy class has always been overcrowded.

In addition to the students of Jiuyou College, Alpha College, Star College, and even some sophomores and juniors who retake the course after failing the course, will give priority to Lao Yao's course.

But because of the limited number of people, not everyone has a chance to grab this spot.

As far as Zheng Qing knows, nearly half of the people in the Astronomy 08-1 class can only choose philosophy classes from other professors. Among them was Elena.

This is also the reason why young government-funded students dare to stay in the classroom in advance despite the awkward atmosphere before class.

The classrooms for the philosophy class are located in the Bishop's Building, 302 West.

Same as ever.

There was still more than half an hour before the start of class, and the spacious classroom was already full.

No one was noisy.

Zheng Qing found a very interesting phenomenon.

Whenever students from different colleges are in a classroom, there is always a silent comparison: maybe it's the number of questions answered, maybe it's the completion of homework after class, maybe it's just discipline in class or before class.

The winner will naturally gain some kind of psychological advantage, and can look at the students of other houses with a self-righteous gaze.

The loser will silently lick his wounds in order to win the next competition.

Like now.

Classroom 302 was silent, and everyone quietly reviewed the lecture notes they had copied from the previous class in their seats, trying to make a statement to the students of the other houses with this attitude of serious study.

Translucent curtains were wide open, locking out the glare of sunlight, and elves hung from the light under the ceiling, carefully charging them to keep the classroom at the right brightness.

On the front wall, on the wide blackboard, I don't know who left a big character of dragon flying and phoenix dancing:

“...... When you enter the university, head into the depths of the wizard's hall. You need to find a light. ”

“...... This lamp can help you go further in the dark, can help you find your direction when you are confused, and can make you firm in your faith when you are confused. ”

"Of course, it can also help you get out of the bookshelf maze of the Book Hill Pavilion. ”

“...... This lamp is the philosophy of magic. ”

“...... It's boring and doesn't have flashy magical effects, but it's the most solid foundation of your magical journey. ”

Zheng Qing chewed on this fragmentary proverb as he opened his textbook.

"This passage looks familiar," he muttered, his elbow bumping into Xiao Xiao next to him, "Who wrote it?"

"Karl Strauss. Xiao Xiao really deserved the title of Great Doctor, and gave a name when he opened his mouth.

Zheng Qing lowered his head, looked at the name of the author of "The Philosophy of Magic" at hand, and his tone was a little empty: "I'm not asking the source of this passage...... I just wanted to ask who wrote that paragraph on the blackboard..."

"Of course it's chalk!" Xiao Xiao looked at him in surprise: "Apart from chalk, who else can write on the blackboard?"

Zheng Qing was finally defeated and no longer bothered with this problem.

......

Lao Yao was used to walking to the podium a few minutes early.

Because he's always going to talk a bunch of crap before class.

For example, 'The weather is good, the wind is beautiful,' or 'You students are the worst I have taken.'

But today on the podium, he didn't chat about the air, and he didn't talk about the students.

Rather, they complained about other teachers.

"Professor Sima is a very responsible teacher, there is no doubt about it. ”

"But it's also very good at getting me in trouble. ”

He shook the black pipe, let the green smoke swirl and cover his face, and chattered and complained:

"Since last week, um, I forgot it was after the first few history lessons...... Anyway, in the process of interpreting history to you, she has involved some advanced knowledge of the philosophy of magic. ”

"It's good now. ”

“...... You little bunnies came up to me and asked what the "Theory of Silence" was all about. ”

"At first, I was still wondering...... This is a practical theory class that you can only get access to in your senior year, why are you so advanced in both of them!"

A cheerful chuckle erupted in the class, and Zheng Qing couldn't help but smile and look at the smiling faces around him.

There was a sense of satisfaction in the air.

Of course, there were many other college students who looked dazed, obviously not understanding what the professor on the stage was saying.

Lao Yao soon spotted these signs:

"Some students may not know. He tapped his pipe on the lectern and added, "When Professor Sima was in a history class, he interpreted part of the real history and involved the theory of silence...... I remember that class had some students from the Nine Colleges and some students from the Alpha Academy?"

"Yes!" the large classroom resounded with a ragged answer.

"Has anyone gone to the library to look for this material?"

After Zheng Qing raised his hand, he was surprised to find that only a dozen people in the class raised their hands.

"Does anyone get it?"

The raised hands fell back in unison.

Lao Yao nodded with satisfaction:

"That's right. ”

"The Treatise on Silence is one of the crowning achievements in the development of modern philosophy of magic, and forms the basis of the code of conduct for wizards today. This theory is the result of the joint efforts of several great wizards, and in the process of deriving it, very complex magical techniques and many difficult theories are used. ”

"Today, I will take a moment to give you a brief talk about this "Theory of Silence". I don't expect you to understand, but you can understand the general meaning. ”

Lao Yao put the law book on the podium, rolled up his sleeves, and began to pace back and forth on the podium.

"First define it...... I need to give you a definition. ”

"What is silence?"

The main thesis of the silent theory can be summed up in one simple sentence: the intensity of an active individual is inversely proportional to the lifetime of that space-time within a certain range of space-time. ”

Lao Yao said this sentence very slowly, almost word for word.

After finishing speaking, everyone in the hall was really at a loss. 10
