Chapter 30: The Future of the North End
"Tricksters, what trouble can they have?"
"They're no longer called Tricksters, they're called 'Wizards of the North End'. ”
"Wizard of the North End?"
"Yes, that's the biggest problem. ”
Professor Yao smiled bitterly, briefly described the big and small things that happened in the north area of Beta Town in the past two days to Professor Emma, and finally concluded: "The alliance has made up its mind about Colma's promotion to the Great Wizard, and it will recognize her identity, but it will not be widely publicized...... But the kind of sacrificial magic she invented gave the wizards of the Northern District the ability to cast spells like ordinary wizards, but the school could not turn a blind eye. You have to be mentally prepared. ”
"Wow," the dean of Alpha Academy took a deep breath, tilted his head, squinted his eyes and calculated before confirming, "She's only twenty-one this year, right...... Still a student. Much younger than Su Shijun became a great wizard. There are more and more outstanding young people in your academy. ”
"It's a coincidence, it's just a coincidence. Lao Yaoxiao's eyes narrowed into a slit, but his mouth was humble: "...... Colma can't be compared to Su Shijun, her way of advancing is purely opportunistic...... That's why the alliance didn't publicize her advancement. ”
"What do you think I should do?" Professor Emma glanced at Yao.
"That's more than 10,000 wizards...... No matter how weak the spellcasting ability is, it is 10,000 wizards who can cast the Bondage Charm and the Soft Leg Charm. Is there any other way than fusion?"
"How?" Professor Emma said with a mocking smile on her face, "Lock them up in the lab, or force them to venture deep into the Silent Forest to collect valuable magical resources for you?"
This is what the wizards have forced the North Side pranksters to do in the past.
Lao Yao pretended not to hear the mockery in Professor Emma's tone.
"Do you believe in God?" asked Lao Yao suddenly.
Professor Emma looked at him like he was looking at a madman.
"Oh God. She exclaimed, "I'm the dean of Alpha Academy, not the dean of Atlas! and we're wizards!
"No, no, you misunderstood me. Professor Yao hurriedly raised his pipe and shook it: "I mean...... Do you believe that there is anything that exists beyond us?"
Professor Emma crossed her arms and looked cautiously at the dean of Jiuyou Academy, without saying a word.
"The tricksters believe," Professor Yao whispered, "they have always believed...... I believe that there is an angel, or God, or a great man, or a sage, and so on...... I believe that there will be such an existence to lead them out of the darkness. ”
And now, Colmar is like that. ”
"We can't stop people in the abyss from looking up at the glimmer of light above their heads. Professor Emma sighed helplessly. Beta's North is more prevalent than the rest of the wizarding world with a variety of secret societies and strange beliefs, and the Coalition has always known about them, but no one has completely eradicated them for the sake of compromise.
Differentiation and organization can turn a group of people in the same situation into a rabble, greatly reducing the difficulty of rule.
The premise is that they don't have the same idol.
"Our faith doesn't make us better, but theirs can. Professor Yao made the point: "Their actions will not improve their situation, but our actions can." ”
This is a sentence that is opposed but unified, like a yin and yang fish.
Professor Emma raised an eyebrow.
"What do you mean......" She still seemed a little unsure.
"Education. He pinched his pipe and looked up at the ceiling, as if looking at a brilliant starry sky: "We can provide general education for those newly born wizards in the North District, so that they can integrate into this strange but familiar world as quickly and safely as possible." ...... Only education can erase old wounds, prevent the continuation of hatred, and allow the wizards of the North District to obtain a better living environment......"
Professor Emma looked at Lao Yao in shock, his mouth was open for a long time, and he didn't think to close it.
"I've never heard of the idea of expanding enrollment at First University," she finally shut up, thinking that she should say something, "And there are so many 'secondary wizards', is First University going to recruit them all?"
Minor wizards are a discriminatory word, but the two arch wizards in the office don't seem to notice that right now. Or rather, they noticed, but didn't care. Because there are more important things to worry about.
"With their talents, it is naturally impossible to get into the first university. Lao Yao nodded:
"Even if the starry sky only pays attention to combat effectiveness, or Atlas pays attention to faith, the requirements for wizards are still very high...... But they can go into their own academy. ”
"Own academy?"
"A long time ago, First University was going to add a new college. But the idea has been in the works, and every time it is proposed, there are various voices protesting — the Moon Council, the New World, all wanting to expand their voice at First University — and now, it's a new opportunity. ”
The Moonlight Council wants to establish a Moonlight Academy, while the New World Hunters want to establish a Hunter Academy.
Professor Emma is aware of these demands.
It's just that because the enrollment qualifications of Moon Academy and Alpha Academy overlap, and the student characteristics required by Hunter Academy and Star Academy are basically the same, in order to prevent the loss of excellent students, First University has been suppressing these voices.
Until now.
The appearance of the wizards of the North District seems to have brought hope to the formation of a new academy.
"First University North District College, what is the name? With the purpose of 'pioneering, sacrificing,' to establish a college that is independent of First University, but belongs to First University. ”
Professor Yao seems to have been thinking about this idea for a long time and taking care of all aspects:
"The birth of the wizards of the North Side is the pioneering, the hunting groups of the New World are pioneering, and the Council under the moon is also pioneering, and the magic mastered by the wizards of the North Side is sacrifice, and the hunting groups of the New World appreciate sacrifice...... And those old guys under the moon are afraid of sacrifice, but they like others to sacrifice. It's a win-win proposition. ”
"Colmar could be the dean of this new college. A great wizard with a good background. The school, the Council under the moon, and the hunters of the New World should all be able to accept this conclusion. ”
"Sounds good...... "Professor Emma tugged at the corners of her mouth - Colmar was a student at Nine Haves College, and it was clear who would benefit the most from choosing her as the dean of the new college.
"She did well in the student union. Lao Yao nodded in agreement, pretending not to see the mocking expression on Court Principal Al's face.
"It's a very important topic, and perhaps neither of the two vice-chancellors is qualified to decide. Professor Emma gave her opinion.
"But there's always a beginning, isn't it?" Lao Yao bit his pipe, looked out the window, and muttered, "...... There's always a beginning. ”
"Oh, yes, one more thing. Professor Yao put down his pipe, as if remembering something, and was about to speak, but stopped again, seemed to hesitate, and looked up at the ceiling.
"Something simple!" Professor Emma tapped on the coffee table in front of him.
"Well, I'm not sure. Lao Yao spread his hands very honestly: "Last night, there seemed to be some movement in the northern area of Beta Town, but when I paid attention, it was quiet over there...... It may be more sensitive over there these days, so ......"
"Got it!" Professor Emma looked annoyed, "I thought it would be easy to go back to school for a while...... I would have known that the others would have come back!"
