CH.11 Basic Lessons in Magic (continued)
The two were at a stalemate, and finally had to choose a compromise and return Zero to Ai Xue. top.
"How can there be such a cute summoned beast? Lena didn't know the difference between guarding and ordinary contract summoning beasts, but she still reluctantly picked up her teddy "little" bear, "I didn't expect Teacher Rhine to be a summoner, or a powerful water magician, I will follow Teacher Rhine to learn water magic in the future." Maybe one day I'll be recognized, summoning something as cute as Zero. β
[I'm tempted to say I'm not a thing, but the experience of failure once is enough]
"Don't you want to be an alchemist? And your two lines are even more talented. Don't try to learn everything you can learn, that will only make you fail to learn everything, let alone specialize. In a rare move, Icarus put down his book and uttered such a long sentence.
"Wow, Icarus really knows everything, and it looks like I'm going to have to give up my delusions. β
"I don't know everything, I just know what I know. β
"Hehe, don't look at Icarus, who usually talks so little, and is also a gentle and careful person. Perhaps, this is one of her ways of caring about others. Karen looked at Icarus, but the latter's head was buried back in the book......
ββββββββββI'm a dividing line of serious studyββββββββββ
"We continued with the previous lesson, and we said earlier that the gap between level 3 and level 4 is an important watershed, and that only good talent and enough hard work can break through the barrier between low and intermediate levels. The gap between level 6 and level 7 is even more obvious, and in addition to the above two factors, it also requires a considerable amount of luck. Once a mage breaks through from level 6 to level 7, he will face a whole new world. Wizards who reach level 7 will be known as Magi. Now I want to ask, what do these three meanings of magicians, can anyone answer them?"
"Powerful spiritual power, powerful magic skills, the people who are called magicians are all strong people on the continent!"
"They are noble, very wealthy, and are actively recruited by major organizations in various countries!"
"Many of them only like to study magic, and even the politicians of various countries can't mention their interest!"
"They live a long life, and they live to be over 100 years old without accident. β
"It has been my lifelong dream to be a great magician!"
......
Most of the students in the audience seemed a little excited, even fanatical. There was only the example of Marikornu on the first day, and the atmosphere in the class was quite lively.
"Very well, your understanding is not wrong, but it is only scratching the surface. The Magus and later the Level 8 Magus and the Level 9 Grand Magus have a common characteristic, which is 'guide', as the literal meaning is, to guide or lead. A low-level magician is like an ordinary person with a good relationship, and he uses a spell to call his friends for help, which is the process of casting low-level magic. A mid-level mage is like a slave owner, and the magical elements around him are his slaves. Mental power whipped each slave like a leather whip, forcing them to work in order to gain great efficiency. Slavery has been abolished in our country for more than 300 years, but I think all of you here can imagine that. While the actual situation of the spell isn't so cruel, the principle is pretty much the same. I use a lot of metaphors, and this is also my style of lecturing.
"The High Mage, on the other hand, is a wise leader, and without the support of force, he exudes a kingly air in every move, making the surrounding elements as sincere as his subjects. I believe that if it is a great king, a gesture or a look is enough to make the people of the kingdom go to the fire for honor. The act of a level 6 mage challenging a sorcerer is as unreasonable as a small slave owner trying to defeat a nation. In fact, the way a high-level mage casts spells is surprisingly similar to that of a low-level mage. β
"Teacher, I've never heard of what you're talking about, you can't make it up yourself, right?"
"What's your name?"
"Pa...... Parsee. The gray-haired boy who was far away from the podium obviously didn't know the strength of Teacher Rhine, and he was a little hesitant when he spoke.
"Good. Rhine looked at Patsy in the distance, and immediately, a cloud of white mist appeared in front of him, and the white mist quickly condensed into two simple ice words: "Thank you." β
Just when Patsy was confused, Rhine spoke.
"Patsi, like Marikornu yesterday, has set a good example for all of you, and you should learn from his courage to question. Only by replacing the original erroneous views with newer and more correct theories can we make progress. But as a teacher, I'm also a water magician. β
There was an uproar in the audience, and with a gesture from Teacher Rhine, the students immediately fell silent. This is respect for the strong.
"Now I would like to ask the students to answer one of my questions, why can people walk?"
"It's so easy because we have legs. β
"Why can I walk with legs?"
......
The audience was silent.
"If anyone else answers, I'll move on to ask why. My explanation for this is that it's instinctive. Humans die if they don't breathe, so it's also our instinct to breathe, and so is our heartbeat. The same can be said for the famous magicians, who think of the way they use magic after becoming a magician as an instinct, but it is very difficult to explain it to others, just like I can't teach a person to walk, I have to understand it myself, but I can tell you what it feels like. It's just a metaphor, but outside of this academy, you won't even hear such a metaphor! As the principal said, all the people here are teachers, not just cultivators and researchers who want to make themselves stronger, but also educators who want to train the next generation. We will do our best to make you understand what you are about to learn!"
[Just like Chinese learn English and foreigners learn Korean, for the mother tongue, there is no sense of language and French at all, some are just instinctive] Zero also feels that Mr. Rhine's words are very reasonable, compared to yesterday, it is probably a little impressive.
"Let's talk about the warrior briefly, after all, I don't have much experience. High-level warriors no longer use fighting energy to attack or defend, but to further strengthen their bodies. Their moves have returned to basic actions such as simple slashing and slashing, blocking death with beginner warriors, but they have more fighting spirit, and they can win with no moves. A high-level warrior standing in front of a mid-level warrior is like a mountain, and his fighting spirit will make you feel an insurmountable sense of fear in an instant. β
"Teacher, this is very similar to reading. Skip the middle level, the high-level mages and warriors are similar to the situation at the beginning level, but again day and place. It's like reading a book, you have to read it thick first, and then read it thin, so that you can truly grasp its essence. β
"Lena, you're right! It seems that in addition to your magical talents, your understanding is also quite high. Of course, Rhine remembered the green-haired girl, and next to her sat Zero and Ai Xue.
"Yes, the development of most things in the world follows the process of moving from simplicity to complexity, from complexity to simplicity, and the truth is often very concise and short. β
"It's amazing, you can imagine it. Ai Xue exclaimed to Lena on the right through zero.
"Icarus said it. Zero in the middle looked at Lena.
"Hey, how do you know?"
"Quite simply, have you read any books? Only a literary girl like Icarus could have said that. β
"Well, that's what I said. But isn't she here, so I'll do it for you. I'm also going to show myself in front of Mr. Rhine. Besides, it's my specialty to use things flexibly. Lena wasn't embarrassed at all.
......
"Alright, that's it for this year's Fundamentals of Magic class, I have to say goodbye to everyone. After a while, each person will be given a list of courses, and the information about the time and teachers of the magic courses and science courses in each department will be unloaded, and there will be some interesting courses to choose from. If anyone likes the way I teach, feel free to come to me after level 4, where I'll be teaching two courses: Intermediate Water Magic and Introductory Summoner. β
