The hustle and bustle at Orpheus College has finally subsided, the enrollment work has been completed, and the entire college has ushered in a new academic year. Naturally, students who were accepted were also prepared to start classes, and those who were not accepted left Orpheus College gloomily.

On the 5th, the students are ready to start class.

On this day, Ben first sent Qingxue to the Department of Literature and Art, and began to run to the Shadow Department.

Today is the first day of class, and Ben walked to the classroom written on the class schedule with excitement and apprehension.

Walking into the classroom, there are already many people who have arrived earlier than Ben. Ben looked at the classroom, the classroom is not big, and it can probably accommodate more than forty people. There aren't many people in the Shadow Department, and there are enough classrooms like this to accommodate everyone.

When the students arrived one after another, Ben realized that this year, the Shadow Department had only enrolled more than twenty people. There are only three girls among the twenty-odd people, and the others are boys.

Stupid saw that Eddie had already arrived, so he sat down with Eddie. Eddie was still that shrewd, and when he saw Stupid walk up to him, he smiled brightly at Stupid.

When the bell rang for class, a middle-aged man in his forties, with a handsome face, but who looked a little vicissitudes, stepped into the classroom with the bell.

"I'm Teacher Li De, and today is your first day of class. I'm going to teach you the course "Philosophy of Killers." In my class, everyone can talk freely, and the exams at the end of the semester are not too difficult. But if someone skips class and gets caught, they will definitely fail the exam. ”

"All of you are studying in the Shadow Department, and maybe you are going to become killers in the future. I don't need to say more about the definition of a killer, and I'm sure you know it very well. But I believe you don't know how to deal with a killer, so I need to teach you the philosophy of killers. ”

"Teacher, we don't know the definition of a killer, please tell me. One of the students said.

"Yes, teacher, why does the killer want to cultivate the Shadow Fighting Qi, we have never understood, you can tell me. Another student said.

"A killer is a person who takes the lives of others, either explicitly or covertly. Killers have been a profession for thousands of years. Tens of thousands of years ago, there was a more specialized profession than a killer, called an assassin. What is the difference between an assassin and a killer, who knows? ”

There was silence in the classroom, the oldest of these children was only fifteen years old, and the youngest was only ten years old, and none of them could be called knowledgeable. Assassins are a profession that once existed 10,000 years ago, and naturally they will not be very clear.

"No one answered, so I'll tell you about it. Assassins are more professional and older than killers. Those who cultivate assassins are all demonic and martial arts dual cultivators, unlike the current killer profession, which only cultivates fighting qi. Because there are too few people who can cultivate both magic and martial arts, and cultivating the assassin profession requires very high human talent, so this profession is slowly declining. ”

"As for why the killer wants to cultivate the Shadow Fighting Qi. It's hard to say. The Shadow Fighting Qi has been inherited for tens of thousands of years, perhaps even older, even older. Shadow Fighting Aura, perfect for sending out in dark situations to damage opponents. Moreover, the strength of the Shadow Fighting Qi is feminine, there is no knight, and the momentum of the Fighting Qi cultivated by the samurai is very suitable for assassination. This may be the reason why the killer cultivates the Shadow Fighting Qi. Teacher Li De said.

Hearing Teacher Li De say this, the students below have a deeper understanding of the Shadow Fighting Qi. Most of these children were tested at birth to be suitable for cultivating Shadow Fighting Qi, although so, they didn't know much about the killer profession and Shadow Fighting Qi.

"Teacher, will the killer profession decline? I think there are far fewer students in our department than in the knight department and the martial arts department. Is the killer profession gone?" Eddie asked.

"Naturally, there are fewer people who cultivate the killer profession than those who cultivate other professions, this is inevitable. It's not a decline. And a large number of you, even if you have cultivated the Shadow Fighting Qi, even if you study in the Shadow Department, you may not be able to engage in the profession of killer in the future. It's hard to be a killer, and it's even harder to be a killer who is famous and admired by everyone. After all, a killer is someone who lives in the shadows. Li De replied.

Eddie nodded, he is one of the kind of people Li De said, even if he is successful in cultivation, he will not be a killer in the future. He has his father's title and territory to inherit, and after completing his studies, he has become a senior professional, just adding some capital to his life that he can rely on. Just like if he really cultivated in the knight department, he wouldn't have become a knight.

Stupid is different, he has become a killer before he enters the shadow department, and even completed a task that hangs in the killer guild. Although he doesn't tell anyone about these things, he knows his position very well.

Teacher Li De was silent for a moment and said to the students, "Today, let's first discuss the meaning and meaning of the famous philosopher Descartes's phrase 'I think, therefore I am'. Who has heard this sentence, let me explain it to you. After speaking, Li De looked at the students below, expecting someone to answer his question.

The students at the bottom did not expect that the course "Philosophy of Killers" would start discussing Descartes, and they were not only surprised but also puzzled. Many people know that Descartes was a famous philosopher, and his most famous quote is "I think, therefore I am." "Many people have heard of his name and his words. But in the history of philosophy, this sentence has been discussed so badly, although the students below may not know the meaning of this sentence, but they also know that such a proposition has a conclusion.

Most people don't know the point of discussing something that has already been decided.

Thomas stood up, "'I think, therefore I am' means simply, I think, so I exist. Because we can't be sure what really exists and what doesn't, it's hard to know what exists. But this self as a thinker must exist, so I say, 'I think, therefore I am.'" ”

After saying this, Thomas also showed off his general look at Stupid and Eddie. Although he is not a talented person, as a child of the nobility, he has been taught since he was a child, and he still knows the meaning of Descartes's famous sentence very clearly.

The other students saw that Thomas was able to answer the teacher's question, and they all looked at Thomas differently. The students recruited by the Shadow Department this time, except for Thomas, really didn't have any children from big aristocratic families. These children come from remote places, and reading is a luxury, so how can they be expected to have read Descartes' philosophy books?

So when Thomas finished answering this question, everyone else was surprised. Thomas finally showed off in front of his teachers and students, so he was very proud.

Teacher Li De showed a kind smile, "I didn't expect any of you to really understand the meaning of Descartes's words. Yes, what's your name?"

Thomas was even more proud, "I'm Thomas Wood. ”

"It turned out to be the child of the Marquis of Wood's family, and he was really knowledgeable. You explain it very well, historically, philosophically, you interpret this sentence without any error at all, very clearly, very clearly. But from a killer philosophy, I think it has other meanings. Isn't anyone going to say something different? You, yes, you, you tell me what you think. ”

Teacher Li De happened to point to stupidity, stupid stood up, he had not read any philosophy books, even the name of Descartes, he had only heard of it for the first time today. So when he was called by the teacher, he stood blankly, not knowing how to answer.

Thomas saw the stupid blankness, he let out a sneer, and his heart became even more proud. He thought: This is the comparison, how can we people from big aristocratic families, those untouchables like beggars, compare? Just a question from the teacher knocked him back to his original form, and what about him being a disciple of a legendary master. I can't even answer such a simple question. Shame on you.

Thinking of this, Thomas's heart was hot, and he must publicize today's events. In the future, everyone knew that he was a noble son with a lot of learning, and maybe even the eldest prince could look at him differently. And this lowly beggar, his reputation will also spread, and naturally it is not a good reputation. This incident will label him as unlearned, ignorant, and ignorant.

"You come to express your opinion, don't you have a little opinion on the sentence 'I think, therefore I am'?" asked Mr. Li De.

"Only people who know how to think can survive better. Stupid finally squeezed out a sentence.
