Chapter 13: A Beautiful Lesson
After a night of meditation, it was almost eight o'clock in the morning, and the downstairs was full of waiting freshmen.
Leo counted almost all of them, and about half of them were girls. Maybe they weren't too familiar with each other, most of them stood quietly and didn't talk to each other, only a small group was laughing loudly and unscrupulously.
This of course includes Falkbed Aldo, as well as several of his younger brothers. However, the eldest young man did not wear the standard mage robe issued by the academy, but wore the gorgeous junior mage robe, as if to stand out from the crowd and attract more people's attention.
Just as Leo was about to find a corner to stand, a wide figure suddenly flashed in front of him, and sure enough, it was Sanders.
"Hi Leo, good morning. The little fat man greeted warmly.
"Good morning. Leo responded with a smile.
The two chatted casually, and several female voices from the "Minahir Support Group" also came over and joined the conversation.
In this way, it is obvious that a small group has appeared in the crowd. Falkbed Aldo looked over very unpleasantly, and was about to say a few words, but just out of the corner of his eye, he saw someone coming, so he had to honestly close his mouth again.
It was none other than Larinda, who had taken them back to the academy before, and the tall woman looked noticeably more beautiful than before after a good night's rest, but the students were just looking at it, but no one thought that they could control this "female man" with barbarian blood.
Approaching, Lorinda said in a loud voice: "Everyone knows me, let's announce that I am the life mentor of your freshmen." In addition to taking some courses in your studies, you can also come to me for all kinds of problems in your life."
When the students heard that this beautiful woman was coming to be a life coach, they were naturally very happy, but they were worried that she was too strict. Let life be difficult.
Lorinda didn't care what they thought, paused, and continued, "You should all know your placement. Students who are in the previous class should not be proud, but should continue to keep it up. Don't be discouraged by the students who are behind, as long as you work hard, you will have a chance to catch up. Starting today, even if your academy career has officially begun, I will take you to the first group class. After that, the classes will begin. ”
Seeing her say this, many students suddenly changed color. One of them said, "Ah, Miss Lorinda, I'm going to class soon, but I don't have any textbooks." ”
Lorinda waved her hand and said: "Today's class does not need a textbook, but a comprehensive overview, now everyone is lined up and walks in unison!"
............
Ten minutes later, the group followed Lorinda to the main school building and quickly entered the classroom.
Leo immediately found that the huge lecture hall was large enough to accommodate three or four hundred people at the same time. At this time, there was already a person sitting in the first row.
It was a young man with long blond hair, reflecting the sun, which made Leo feel a little dazzling, it was the Sun Elf royal family who left with the academy staff yesterday. Lothas.
However, the young man adhered to the usual pride of the elves, and did not even look at anyone else except nodding to Lorinda.
Leo walked in front and took a front row of actions very smoothly. As soon as he took his ass and sat down, a person came next to him, and he didn't have to guess to know that it was Sanders's guy.
"Hey Leo. Move in, I'll sit here. The little fat man said happily, in his opinion, the only person he is most familiar with in the academy is Leo, so he naturally wants to be next to each other.
To be honest, Leo doesn't want to be next to Sanders, God knows if this guy will mess around in class, not only may it affect his own learning, but if he repeatedly upsets the teacher, it will really feel sad to think about.
But he was too embarrassed to refuse, so he had to ask in a deep voice: "It's okay to sit here, but you are not allowed to speak during class." ”。
Sanders waved his hand again and again: "Don't talk about it, I have to study hard." Hehe, I'm a Class 1 student, and if I fall behind, I'll suffer when I go home. ”
At this time, Laurinda and a male mage entered the lecture hall together, and said, "Attention students, this is Professor Bert Gitley, who can be said to be the best teacher in the freshman education of our Riveton College, please applaud and welcome." ”
Leo clapped his hands and looked closely. It was an intermediate mage in his early sixties, with a swarthy face full of vicissitudes, and he didn't look like a teacher to a miner.
In fact, Bert Kitley's rank is indeed not high, until now it is still stuck at level 5, and he may not be able to hope to be promoted to the senior level for the rest of his life. However, his years of experience in magic and teaching earned him the title of Honorary Professor for Life, and he deserved the praise of Lorinda.
Although it was impossible for him to be remembered by people with his powerful magic, many people who had become, or would be, a high-level mage, would call him a teacher, and the academy was unusually well-paid, all of which made the mid-level mage feel that his work was very meaningful.
Bert Kitley bowed slightly and said, "Hello everyone, you can call me Teacher Bert, or Professor Bert. I'm your lecturer on Introduction to Magic. First of all, I want to apologize to you guys, because this class will last all day, and I can assure you that my bladder is so strong that it will not be a problem for maybe three to five days. ”
Such an opening remark immediately made the students laugh, and the originally slightly tense atmosphere was quickly relieved. And Professor Bert, who was standing on the podium, also showed the temperament of a professor in an instant, glowing with passionate brilliance, as if he was much younger, and this lesson officially began.
When Lorinda left the classroom, Bert glanced around and said, "Everyone has different backgrounds and different knowledge, but it doesn't matter, the main purpose of this class is to give you a new and comprehensive understanding of magic. ”
"I think there are many of you who have already been formally exposed to magic and have felt magic, so I would like to ask, what is magic? What is magic? Apparently he figured it out to guò to grab the students' attention, and he did. All the children thought about it.
"Magic is the power to cast magic. One student replied.
Bert smiled and shook his head, "It's just a literal meaning, and the answer is not correct." ”
Several students answered one after another, and Bert commented on them, but no one answered correctly.
"Magic is a kind of energy contained in all things, and magic is the use of this energy. Another student replied.
"Exactly. The teacher nodded at the student, and Leo followed Bert's gaze to see that it was Falkbed Aldo, much to his surprise.
Sanders, on the other hand, was completely unconvinced that this was Farkbed Aldo's own conclusion, and muttered, "I'm sure someone sued him." ”
Bert's impassioned voice came, "You all know. Magic exists in all things, and when you can master it, you can master all things. And the reason why we mages are able to gain infinite power is because of our continuous search for power. As a mage you must understand magic and use it. Mana can exist in any form, and if you're strong enough and have learned certain techniques, you can even use it to do whatever you want. ”
Perhaps it was a bit too much, Bert grabbed the water cup on the podium and took a sip before continuing: "Of course, many students who can already cast spells know it. It is impossible for us to store magic on our own, but we can use our spiritual power to form a basic framework to attract the magic contained in all things. And to resonate with it, so that every qiē magic power is used by us, and then control everything, this is magic!"
............
Leo listened in fascination to Bert's rambling explanations. It was another world he had never understood, a world that his teacher Byron could not dissect in such detail.
Before, either learn magic on your own. Or follow Byron, often only learning about its phenomena directly, without ever understanding the nature of magic.
"Entering the Academy of Magic is something that every mage must go through! He sighed from the bottom of his heart.
Before I knew it, the morning had passed, and Mr. Bert had indeed lived up to his title of honorary professor for life, not only capturing the intellectual curiosity of each student, but also sketching a beautiful magical world for this group of children who had just left the house. Even Sanders didn't say a word to Leo, staring at Bert for fear of missing a word, and his attentive attitude was worthy of his promise.
Until the end of class, no one except Bert was talking nonsense, everyone was listening attentively, which was indeed a miracle for many children who entered the academy for the first time, because in Bert's depiction magic is so charming, so powerful that people can't help but immerse themselves in it.
Bert was very satisfied with the effect of this lesson, and when he saw that the time was almost up, he stopped and announced: "Okay, this class is here, students who have questions can stay and ask me, and others can go to lunch." The class starts at one o'clock in the afternoon, so I hope you will be on time. ”
Although the children enjoyed Mr. Bert's class, they had been sitting all morning, and they were clean with a bang. Sanders was about to beckon Leo to leave, but saw that Leo was already talking to Mr. Bert with a book, and it turned out that he was going to ask questions.
Sanders hurriedly followed, wondering if he would ask a few questions later, maybe he would get the teacher's attention, but he racked his brains until Leo finished asking and didn't come up with any questions.
Bert patiently answered Leo's several questions, laughed a few times, touched Leo's head, and praised: "Yes, yes, your name is Leo? Minecil is really a good boy, thinking is the basis for the continuous progress of our mages, you have asked these questions to the point, you must continue to maintain." ”
Of course, Leo would not rejoice because of a few compliments, and thanked Bert and left with Sanders, but he was secretly speculating in his heart, since Bert knew his name, did all the teachers already know him?
Whether this was a good thing or a bad thing, he couldn't figure it out for a while.
As soon as he reached the door, a pleasant young man's voice came softly, but it was a little far away, and his voice was also very soft, Leo only heard a few words of convergence and release, and then he heard Bert's exclamation.
"No, no, no, you're too young to control it precisely, don't do that. ”
Leo turned his head and saw that Bert was frowning at the blonde boy in front of him, and then said in a stern tone: "There are still many differences between the body structure of elves and humans, you are elves, if you really do this, I can't predict what may happen at all." But you're in an interesting idea, maybe you can wait until you've improved your level before you continue, Lorsas? Well, if nothing else, you should go back. ”
The sun elf boy nodded, turned around a little unhappily, and saw the two people staring at him at the door, his face became more and more gloomy, and he said in a voice with a strange rhythm: "Get out of the way, haven't you heard that good dogs don't get in the way?"
"Who are you scolding a dog!" Sanders, after all, was from a big family, and his temper was quite irritable, so he immediately opened his mouth to scold.
"Whoever stands in the way, I scold whom. Lorsas raised his head in disdain and snorted through his nose.
Just as Sanders was about to fight back again, he was pulled aside by Leo. It's not a good thing to get into conflict with someone just after entering the academy.
Seeing Sanders being pulled away by Leo, Lotus had a strange smile on his face, and then suddenly stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, Leo Minahir, I've heard of you." You're a great guy. ”
Leo was a little confused by the other party's sudden move, but since he took the initiative to show favor, he couldn't turn a blind eye, so he reached out and shook the other party: "Hello, Lorsas. ”
Feeling Lothas's boneless and delicate hands, Leo wondered what the elf's body structure was made of, and this kind of hand was more like a woman than all human women's hands.
Seeing Leo holding his hand, he lost his mind for a moment, and Lothasas's face turned red, and then he withdrew his hand, as if frightened, and left quickly: "Goodbye!"
At this moment, not only Leo, but Sanders was also confused, and said strangely: "This guy has something wrong with his brain, how nervous." (To be continued......)
