Shoot!
The air suddenly changed.
The majesty of the Black Flame Dragon covered the hall.
‘Of course, it’s a luxury product.’
Catherine, who was familiar with the class, was also impressed, not to mention the other students.
Seeing that the class was different from what they expected, all the students concentrated their attention and waited for the class’s next words.
however.
“Did everyone bring their textbooks? Here, Hans, submit it to Assistant Linden. “I will keep it for now.”
“You’re taking textbooks? “Why?”
“That’s what the textbook is for… No, because it’s too much for you to accept right now.”
“Is it too much? “You know everything, right?”
The students made puzzled faces.
The name of this course is ＜Understanding the Basics of Magic＞.
It is literally the basics, and most students have studied at this level through good deeds.
“You know? “I just memorized the content in preparation for the entrance exam?”
“!!”
“What I am trying to teach you is not such superficial knowledge. I will make you truly ‘understand’ what magic is.”
Yes.
What the class is trying to do, as the name of the course suggests, is ‘understanding’ magic.
I planned to teach all the students here what magic is.
and.
The students’ eyes widened as if torn.
Completely different from the lectures they had heard so far.
A crazy lecture that I had never heard or seen before began.
* * *
Mirror tablet.
It was a remote magic tool that could access the Academy’s Philosopher’s Stone through a small mirror.
Students used this mirror for various purposes, including research, and one of them was the ‘anonymous bulletin board.’
If you write on the mirror using a specific code, the same writing will remain in the corner of the Philosopher’s Stone, so it can be used as a scribbling pad.
It was also called a mirror board, and today the mirror board exploded.
-The true story of today’s class professor’s lecture?
-why? How was it? Explain the story.
-The Banregi lecture must have been like Banregi hahahaha.
-It’s obvious even if you don’t listen. Those poor Class 2 guys. My exam score will be the lowest in class 2.
-Are you all deaf? I’m in class 2, and my professor’s lecture was really good.
The writing on the mirror board stood still.
Even for a moment.
There were explosive comments that seemed to be several times larger.
-It’s not good at all. Are you crazy?
-Ah-oh. That’s called a lecture! You think I paid tuition to take a class like this!
-It was a great lecture, why? Isn’t your level falling?
-Ah, are you by any chance the assistant teacher with a bright head? Thank you for your hard work!
-No, isn’t it Professor Ban himself? Since you’re a graduate here, shouldn’t there be an access code?
-No, it was really good! These rotten bastards?
-Professor, it is against school rules to leave curse words while pretending to be a student.
Catherine, who was diligently writing on the mirror board, frowned.
‘It was actually pretty good, wasn’t it? Did everyone have a sprained eye? Of course, it was a little different.’
No, the expression ‘different’ may not be appropriate.
It was unconventional.
To express it more accurately, ‘crazy’ was the correct answer.
Catherine recalled the lecture.
-Let’s draw a star on a blank piece of paper.
-… You mean the magic star of the star hierarchy? We’re not in the magic department, so that’s unreasonable?
As I’ve said repeatedly, this course is a common subject.
There were many more people who could not perform magic.
-Who told you to draw the stars of the star hierarchy? Just draw a star.
-… Just a star? Why do you do that?
-Are you trying to understand star hierarchy magic without even understanding stars, or even lines and points? How arrogant.
From Noble mtl dot com
-!!
At the same time, the class only gave out bizarre instructions.
Draw a triangle. Draw a pentagram.
Take dots at regular intervals.
Try connecting the lines.
etc.
Content that could be mistaken for an art course, not a magic course.
When the students couldn’t stand it anymore and protested,
-If you want magic knowledge through culture, I can explain as much as you want. But, what does that leave you? You can figure that out just by reading a trashy textbook.
-… … .
-As I said before, I hope you will truly understand magic through this course. No matter what school you go to or what path you take in the future, it will be a great help to you.
I had no choice but to follow Van’s instructions, but my dissatisfaction did not subside.
No one understood what understanding magic had to do with drawing dots and lines.
– Listening to useless explanations at your current level will only be poisonous. First of all, keep drawing. Don’t even think, don’t try to feel anything.
As the class frantically drew geometric shapes as instructed, the first lecture ended and the students exploded.
-crazy! Since there’s nothing to teach, aren’t you telling me to just draw pictures?
-What is your homework? Do you want to repeat the pictures you drew today 100 times? I will not!
-Looking like a lecturing brat, it looks like I’ll be kicked out soon anyway.
‘… This is a very helpful exercise. ‘I don’t know about other faculties, but why don’t even the magic faculty notice anything?’
Catherine clicked her tongue.
In fact, she has done the same exercise in the past.
This is what the now-deceased former head of a famous magic family told me to do.
-You have no talent for magic. Hmm. He was clearly destined to be a hero, but why is his talent so odd? First of all, try something like this. If you keep repeating it, you will feel something.
For reference, the Sentai matriarch is at Lv. 9 He was an ascendant.
Following those teachings, Catherine, who was a world-class prodigy, was barely able to succeed in entering magic.
‘… However, you have to repeat this for a long time for it to be effective, so it’s not going to keep going like this, right? I don’t think the students will tolerate it.’
Her concerns were spot on.
The second lecture was the same.
The only difference is that these words were added.
“Draw while concentrating.”
“… “You want me to concentrate?”
“okay. Don’t even think about useless things. If you try to think about it anyway, you won’t know anything. “Look only at the lines and dots you draw.”
It was nonsense, like a ghost popping the side of a roll cake.
-Today’s class was truly legendary.
-Concentration is a mess! A dot is a dot, and a line is a line!
-Ah-oh. If Banregi does that, then so be it.
-Everyone is so ignorant, they can’t appreciate the true value of this practice. I think this will be really helpful. I have a friend who is from a famous magic school. I heard they do similar exercises?
-… me too… Professor Ban’s class is really good. everyone… Shut up.
-Thank you for your hard work, teaching assistants. Spreading false information and swearing is a violation of school rules.
Catherine and Rivelle were silent as they looked at the mirror board.
The two tried their best to post supportive comments, but they were no match for firepower.
In fact, Catherine could understand the students’ dissatisfaction.
It’s definitely a good method, but it’s something to be practiced on your own, and it’s not suitable as a lecture.
‘… Professor Ban, what on earth are you thinking?’
* * *
Alcove… No, the lab was in chaos.
“ah. Class senior. I told you it was impossible! Do you know how many student complaints have been filed right now?! Look at these documents! Oh, Marie, don’t chew up the complaint form just because you’re on the professor’s side!”
-bar! bar!
“Huh, don’t you know Confucius’ great meaning? Confucius is taking bloody revenge on the students who badmouthed him. From next time, you will truly show off your greatness! Is that right, Confucius?”
The fuss I expected.
I drank my coffee gracefully without any agitation.
“Don’t worry. “It’s all according to the lecture plan.”
“What is the plan, bullsh*t! “Are you out of your mind?”
It wasn’t Linden and Hans.
When I turned my head, a stern-looking man appeared with a frown on his face.
“You… ?”
“… Are you sure you don’t remember? “What about this Balas, the former adopted son of a famous magic family, the child of the magic world, and the most promising of these temporary professors?”
“… Ballas, yes. Know. Please tell me your business. “Why did you come?”
“Are you asking because you don’t know? Aren’t I in danger of being kicked out of the academy because of you?”
It was a strange story.
“You are in charge of ＜Understanding the Basics of Magic＞. “I am an assistant professor.”
I nodded, “Hmm.”
Originally, temporary professors participated in lectures as assistants to the main lecture, but it happened that Balas was in charge of my lecture.
“I won’t tell you twice. “Right now, please proceed with your lectures according to the curriculum standards specified by the Ministry of Education.”
“We are already meeting the standards. “Isn’t the goal of the curriculum to make students understand magic?”
“If this continues, we’ll both be kicked out!”
“What’s the fuss about? “No matter if I do this or that, I think you’re guaranteed to be expelled.”
“… I beg your pardon?”
Balas’ face hardened.
‘Just then, I needed a protector to take care of. ‘Let’s persuade him well.’
“Isn’t that right? You no longer have the shadow of a magic master, so who will treat you? “I’m sure you’re not under the illusion that you’re truly something great, right?”
“… “Be careful what you say.”
My face heated up, but I couldn’t deny it.
“I’ll give you a chance.”
“… what do you mean?”
“If you do your best to assist my course, I will give you at least a perfect score on the course evaluation. “The choice is yours.”
“… … .”
Ballas was silent for a long time.
In fact, I guessed that Ballas was unlikely to follow my suggestion.
‘Because you have a lot of bad feelings towards me.’
however,
“All right. “I will follow your suggestion.”
“… “Really?”
“Don’t be mistaken. “It’s just a gamble to try and rely on your luck.”
Balas growled.
“Keep in mind that we are only holding hands for a moment, but the ultimate winner is me.”
Then he disappeared and I shrugged.
It was fortunate that Ballas had acquired the courage to do whatever he wanted.
“By recruiting classmate Professor Ballas, are you trying to change the content of the lecture?”
“okay.”
In comparison, so far it has only been like a warm-up before the main game.
To get students to accept my ‘real’ lectures.
‘But preparations for the last lecture are not complete.’
I thought for a moment.
You could borrow Hans and Linden’s power, but it wouldn’t be perfect.
‘I need the help of someone with deep knowledge of magic. Even more than Ballas and the like.’
It was not an easy condition.
Ballas, who looks like a fool, is a 5-star Supreme Mage.
Having deeper knowledge than that means you have to be at least a 6th level mage.
‘There is one person that comes to mind.’
However, he soon shook his head.
‘no.’
The person that came to mind was Professor Bernstein.
Head professor of the Department of Magic Theory.
‘I’m already in the Karak faction. I split with Professor Bernstein.’
That was when I was thinking about it.
There was a knock on the door, and Linden opened the door and stuttered with a white face.
“Bah, classmate. Professor Tiger… Ah, no, Professor Bernstein is here.”
“!!”
It was really Professor Bernstein.
‘Did you come to persuade me to join former President Randolph’s faction?’
However, Professor Bernstein said something completely unexpected.
“Don’t you need help?”
“How did the professor do that?”
“Because I’ve been thinking about the same lecture as you. Of course, I didn’t dare and gave up. “I will help you.”
The help I was hoping for!
With Professor Bernstein’s help, everything will be perfect.
‘… But, if I get help with this, won’t I get my nose pierced?’
It was a time when I was making a troubled face.
Professor Bernstein looked straight at me and said.
“Don’t make unnecessary misunderstandings. I don’t care what faction you are. “What I expected from you in the first place was as a wizard, not politics or anything like that.”
“… … .”
“The reason I’m trying to help you this time is simply because, as a magician and a professor with a teaching career, I’m looking forward to seeing what kind of results your lecture will produce.”
Professor Bernstein’s eyes as he said that were completely straight and without any selflessness.
