Volume 1: The Scourge of Witchcraft and the Enemies of a Thousand Years Ago Chapter 42: Negris Winslow and the School of Discipline
At this moment, they heard a noise, and they looked towards the source of the sound, and saw that directly opposite them was a building arranged in a north-south direction, from which the sound was coming from.
It looks boxy, almost twenty meters tall, but it is divided into two levels. There were huge columns on all sides, and what should have been walls was replaced by floor-to-ceiling windows, so they could see inside the hall at a glance.
The hall is brightly lit and lively. The high ceilings are depicted with exquisite murals with a strong sense of three-dimensionality, rows of tables and benches are neatly arranged facing east, unfamiliar and young faces are sitting on the ground and introducing themselves to each other and greeting each other, and on the table are all kinds of delicacies that Riel has just bumpered with and his face is swollen.
Roast goose, roast lamb, steak, all kinds of fruits, etc., as well as some delicacies from the mountains and seas that Riel had never seen before, saw that his saliva was about to flow out, he took a deep breath, and smelled the aroma coming from inside. He didn't have time to find where the main entrance was, so he dragged Alan towards the side door. There were many steps, and the three of them climbed for a while before entering the hall.
The hall was quite large, with hundreds of people in it, but it didn't seem crowded at all. And it is much higher than it looks from the outside, and countless exquisite chandeliers hang from the entire ceiling, illuminating the entire hall brilliantly.
I don't know if everyone has their own fixed seats, anyway, Rare can't care so much, and when he saw a row of three empty seats, he dragged Alan and Alyssa over. Although he didn't feel hungry at all on the road, now his stomach was really protesting, and he couldn't wait a moment.
But just as he tore off a piece of roast goose leg and was about to devour it, he suddenly heard a loud "dang!" sound above his head, as if something had exploded above his head, and the goose leg in his hand fell to the ground in fright.
Everyone was silent for a moment, looked around, and then found that another row of tables suddenly appeared behind the lectern, which was empty just now, and there was also a row of people who looked like teachers, and the seat in the middle was much higher than the next one.
Everyone's attention was drawn to this slightly pompous appearance, and they all speculated about what kind of cool magic they were using.
At this moment, a man sitting next to the highest seat in the middle stood up, cleared his throat, and said, "Ahem, good evening everyone, it's seven o'clock in the evening, welcome to the Krivari High School of Magic!"
Alan also looked over there and saw that it was a young man of about sixty years old. He was fat and short, and standing in front of the podium, he could barely see his head exposed. The gray-white hair is very short, and a pinch of mustache has on the lips, which looks a little oily. Unlike the waist-length robes that most people wear, he and the other professors wore knee-length black robes. There was a small round badge with a line of small letters written on it, and because it was far away, Alan couldn't see what was written.
"Ahem...... I'm the Executive Vice Chancellor of the Klevari High School of Magic and Wizardry, Curren Stubourne, and the responsible professor for your new class. He seemed to have to clear his throat every time he spoke. His voice sounded a little shrill and fast, but he could still hear it clearly, as he put his wand to his mouth and cast an amplification spell on the words that came out.
"Ahem...... First of all, I would like to congratulate you once again on being able to stand out from your peers, proving that you have the strength, ability and qualifications to come here and continue to be exposed to the deeper level of magic and feel the magic and charm it brings. Secondly, I hope that you will always remember our school motto, 'Always stay calm to move forward'. Don't let up in the slightest, always be ready to be tested, aim to become a great magician, constantly temper yourself, and ultimately contribute to our common future! Finally, I wish every child who comes here can spend three meaningful years here, and I hope that after this short time, you and this land can have a better tomorrow!"
"Wow!" burst into applause from the audience, and everyone's hearts were stirred up by Professor Tubourne's few words. Even Riel forgot to put food in his mouth and applauded.
Professor Stubone also seemed pleased with what he had just said, squinting and tilting his head, as if he were self-absorbed. It wasn't until another professor behind him coughed lightly that he came back to his senses, raised his hand above his head and made a "quiet" gesture to signal that the applause could stop, and then said, "Ahem...... I would like to invite Mr. Negris Winslow, President of the Magical Management Association and Principal of the Krivari High School of Magic and Wizardry, to explain the rules and regulations and arrange a series of other matters for the next week. With that, he nodded, and sat back in his place.
I saw that the man sitting on the highest seat slowly stood up, walked unhurriedly to the pulpit, and said, "I am Negris Winslow, the headmaster of the Krivari High School of Magic and Magic. ”
Mr. Winslow spoke in a slow, calm tone. Alan looked at him carefully, and felt very different from what he had imagined when he heard old Adrian describe it. I thought it would be a short and secretive person, but I didn't expect that he was unexpectedly tall, and his tone of voice was also very steady, although his hair was gray, he was still meticulously combed to the back of his head, and his beard was cleanly shaven, his face was ruddy, and he looked in good spirits. He must be in his sixties, but he doesn't look like it at all.
Mr. Winslow was different from the others, wearing a black and red robe that reached to his feet, with a small waistcoat over it and elaborate embroidery on it.
"First of all, I would like to congratulate you again on being here, which is the greatest recognition of you so far. Mr. Winslow glanced at the speech in his hand, and then continued: "Secondly, what I need to tell you is that since you are here, you must always remind yourself to abide by the school rules, and we will never tolerate anyone who ignores or violates the school rules. ”
"That looks so harsh!" Riel whispered.
Alan nodded.
"From now on, each of you will have 100 points in your hand, and 20 points will be deducted for each violation of school discipline, on the contrary, if you make an outstanding contribution or excel in class, you will add 10 points, and this score will be added to the final score of each year's promotion exam. If some people don't care too much about this score, then something sad will happen, such as some people who are at the bottom of the score will be sent home. Also, if your marks have been deducted by the end of the semester of the year, it will also mean that you have ended your studies here early. ”
When Riel heard Mr. Winslow say this, a cold sweat began to break out on his forehead, after all, he had only five chances in a whole year, and he was not sure that he would not make so many mistakes in this new year.
Alan also glanced at him, a little worried about whether Riel's reckless personality would be deducted before the end of the semester.
Mr. Winslow then picked up the manuscript in his hand and continued: "If you do not want to go home early, then keep in mind all the rules I have mentioned below: First, you must not enter or leave the school in any way without permission, otherwise it will be considered a violation of discipline. Second, absenteeism without reason, or late arrival or early departure, will be regarded as a disciplinary violation. Third, in class, all your actions are subject to the arrangement of the professor, and those who do not obey the instructions or disobey the arrangement will be regarded as a violation of discipline. Fourth, no magic may be used in any place other than the classroom, otherwise it will be considered a disciplinary violation. Fifth, if there is an accident at school, do not deal with it privately, otherwise it will be regarded as a violation of discipline. 6. After 9 o'clock in the evening, no one is allowed to wander around the campus, otherwise it will be regarded as a violation of discipline. Seventh, it is strictly forbidden for any person to form any organization or group in any name or form without authorization, otherwise it will be regarded as a serious violation of discipline, and a one-time deduction of 100 points will be made for serious violation of discipline. ”
Hearing such strict school rules, there was silence in the hall, and everyone listened carefully to every word that Mr. Winslow said, and no one wanted to be sent home early, otherwise they would never be able to raise their heads no matter where they were in the future.
"Every day, there is a committee of senior students on duty on campus, so don't take any chances, and don't try to lie to them. Remember?"
"Remember!" the students in the audience nodded and replied in unison.
"Good. Oh, there's one more thing you need to remember...... "Mr. Winslow suddenly remembered something more, "every nook and cranny of this school, and all the places around here, you can go as long as you have permission...... Only in the valley below this cliff, no one is allowed to step further at any time, otherwise it will be regarded as a serious violation of discipline!
The banquet hall was silent.
Mr. Winslow's expression looked extremely serious, and he repeated it as if he was not at ease: "No one, at any time!"
