Chapter 38(1/2)
The Origin of the School
Kulov held the corner of his beard with his right hand and clicked on the questionnaire with his other hand, "Write down your true thoughts. After you leave here, keep it a secret and don't mention this questionnaire to other students."
"Yes, Professor."
Xia Zuo ruffled the hair on the top of his head to calm his wandering mind and focused on the questionnaire.
This questionnaire, which is only a few hundred words long, reveals a lot of information about the school and the kingdom. This is a secret that can only be known after becoming a mage apprentice.
He was appreciated by professors for his outstanding performance and was fortunate to know these contents in advance.
Starry Night Academy is a mage academy, responsible for training formal mage, even high-level mage.
There are many similar organizations in the world.
They all belong to the Mage Temple.
Hundreds of years ago, an alchemist named Lady Starry Night was successfully promoted from a high-level mage to an archmage, and strengthened the alchemy school.
She was granted a territory from the Mage Temple, which is where the Starry Night Kingdom is now.
Today is Saturday.
Xia Zuo looked up at his mentor and nodded in response.
It is Ms. Xingye's instruction that Xingye Academy recruits students who are friendly and friendly.
Just asking, do you agree with Beatrice’s proposal?
Just as Xia Zuo was thinking about how to answer, Kulov tapped the table and said:
"A mage apprentice can only grow his spiritual ocean by constantly absorbing the well-behaved elements. He needs to run around looking for traces of the unruly elements.
The teacher is Professor Burton, a tall, muscular bearded man who likes to wear tight leather jackets that highlight his muscle lines.
Anruer came over and hugged his shoulders for a few seconds, then sat back down and opened the book.
This is so embarrassing and very unacceptable.
Xia Zuo realized the weight behind this answer sheet.
Maybe it will be presented to Ms. Starry Night, so every word written is carefully considered.
Even within the Mage Temple, there are only a handful of people who will become great mage in the future.
Lady Starry Night is one of them.
Xia Zuo originally did not plan to study by himself in public places. He would be more efficient reading alone.
"This is from the Introduction to Meditation."
"Can I try another poison?"
He lay down on the table and took a nap for 2 minutes, easily overcoming the visual hallucinations and deafness.
He stood up from the wooden chair and said:
"When the final exam results are announced in half a year, you will know who they are, and they will know you."
This is just a small problem.
Xia Zuo had no choice but to meet her on the weekend, carrying a bag of books.
Kulov threw the key to Xia Zuo and said with a smile:
This is different from the treatment given to students who are naturally friendly.
If you fail this year's exam or make-up exam, you can retake it with the freshmen next year.
If you fail to retake the exam, you will be forced to drop out of school.
Xia Zuo stood proudly in front of a row of twenty black-eye poisons. With a wave of his hand, he picked up three poisons and poured them into his mouth, with a look of satisfaction on his face.
Xia Zuo watched the instructor drink the tea and felt a little thirsty. He picked up his tea cup and took a sip. Then he picked up the pen and wrote the word "agree" in the blank space of the last question.
What are the reasons for agreement or disapproval?
Xia Zuo held his chin up, frowning and thinking.
But Anruer wanted to see him and have someone by her side during self-study.
A few minutes later, a letter flew back, containing a reply from the castle administrator Dim and a key.
Seeing Anruer's lonely look, Xia Zuo patted his head and decided to find his mentor.
Both of them disliked books equally, and were only interested in furnaces and iron felts.
The opportunity to enter a school is rare and will completely affect a person's life. Every acquired student knows this clearly.
Xia Zuo smiled, took out the books from his schoolbag, and said:
"Let's read a book first. After dinner, we will go to the alchemy room and I will take you to try a non-lethal poison."
Xia Zuo glanced at the instructor with a calm expression, picked up his pen and wrote down his answer, then looked at the next and last question.
Xia Zuo took the key and bowed to thank his instructor.
Kulov had already read through all the answers while Xia Zuo was writing, and now he folded the questionnaire back into small squares.
"You are not the only one. Every professor has students they admire, and they are filling out questionnaires at this moment."
President Beatrice proposed the second motion.
Trainee-level poison, plenty of it!
They will work hard to study seven general courses.
There is no need to think about classrooms and dormitories.
Beatrice plans to use another way to motivate Acquired Affinity students to learn.
"Professor, don't you need unruly elements? Why don't you absorb them yourself?"
Xia Zuo knew this kind of key, it was used to open the iron wardrobe in the shower room.
Life in a university is not about food and clothing, but academic pressure is too great.
Kulov read the words above, then controlled the pen on the desk and wrote a few words on the letter paper.
Each of these seven alchemy general courses has only one chance to retake it.
…
Since Kulov said to use it as you like, just drink it and that’s it!
"Anru'er's spiritual ocean is almost close to the level of a mage apprentice. You can make apprentice-level poisons with her and communicate more, and you will get different results."
Kulov put the teapot back on the coffee table, picked up the teacup and brought it to his mouth, "What a mage apprentice can tame is only the weakest unruly element. You will know when you read the introductory meditation method later."
He was the mentor of young Merburn Riley, the son of a blacksmith.
Most students will find a seat in the library to read.
When the number of Acquired Friendly students is so large, the quality of teaching cannot be guaranteed, and professors cannot fully understand the academic status of each student.
Beatrice planned to formally establish a Mage Guild in the academy, imitating the points system of the Warrior Guild, and the currency used to exchange rewards would also be points.
The rewards points can be redeemed for are not listed on the questionnaire.
If the official mages trained by Starry Night Academy are outstanding enough, they will be sent to the Silver Moon Federation to continue their studies. After becoming high-level mages, they will have the opportunity to continue practicing with Ms. Starry Night.
Xia Zuo walked to the toxin cabinet with unfinished thoughts, and found fuscin and turmeric again, preparing to make a full pot of black eye poison at once.
Xia Zuo watched Kulov walking around the desk and heading towards the door, as if he was leaving the alchemy room, so he stood up and asked:
Xia Zuo stood in front of his tutor, blushing in a rare moment, and made a request that he and Anruer study by themselves in the small classroom in the poison alchemy area.
Because I really can’t get a seat in the library.
When the toxin concentration remains unchanged, increasing the dose will only prolong the duration of the negative effects.
The last two questions on the questionnaire are tricky.
After one hour.
The castle manager, Diem Carr, has stipulated in the "Castle Code".
Cultivating students with acquired affinity on such a large scale is undoubtedly a bold attempt by the Alchemy School.
Noon four months later.
It's like a megazoology course on giant creations.
Xia Zuo walked to the alchemy table, picked up the remaining two black-eye poisons, and poured them into his mouth together.
The two of them turned around and headed to the restaurant. However, the corners with less interference here were occupied by small groups. The self-study efficiency in the remaining seats was very low.
He did not deliberately conceal the shortcomings of some courses, but expressed his dissatisfaction in more tactful terms.
Xia Zuo and Anruer were stunned at the sight of people swarming into the library.
Over time, small groups of students occupied the best seats in the library and dining hall.
"take it."
