"I said, you have a choice. Wearing the armband means that you are willing, and the college agrees that you will become a part of this place. Moving forward on the road of magic, no matter whether there are thorns or seas of fire ahead, you can only grit your teeth and move forward. No regrets. If you can't stand it, want to give up, and feel homesick, take off your armband, hang it on the hanger next to the door, and shake the small clock next to it. Then I will give you travel expenses, or entrust you with a trustworthy person The warrior group will send you home. From now on, you can stay in a certain ravine or a field, concentrate on your work, and stop thinking about anything related to magic. Because you chose to withdraw voluntarily. So, you What are the options now?”
After hearing the meaning of the armband, all the children hurriedly imitated Kaya's example and put the armband on their right upper arm. Even if it is already pinned, double-check whether it is firm and whether it will fall off.
Seeing that everyone had made a decision and put on their armbands, Lin snorted coldly and said, "Very good, it seems that no one has chosen to quit. Let me reiterate here that quitting is very simple and can be done at any time. As long as Take off the armband, hang it on the hanger next to the door, shake the little clock, and you can go home. Then let's have some appetizers and move your body."
That devilish smile, as he was later called, unfolded. However, Lin started with what he thought was a bright smile, and the students of the 726th class of Chengguo Eton College began a life of hardship.
During the long-distance jog in the morning, although these children were not pampered young men or young ladies, what kind of weather it was and what heavy clothes they were wearing. Several little guys wearing coats were hampered by the long hems and almost fell down several times.
The worst thing is that someone is running and yelling next to me. If you run too slowly, you will be scolded; if your posture is too ugly, you will be scolded; if you look too ugly, you will be scolded, which will reduce the person to nothing.
The older children were not the ones to be manipulated. After falling to the ground, they were determined and had no intention of continuing to run. Just stare evilly at someone. The whole team stopped, some people looked at it in confusion, and some people watched the development of the matter with cold eyes.
Lin looked indifferent and said, "I told you, you can choose to give up and go home right away, so you don't have to suffer like this here."
The eldest child who fell down in "Lord Gablash" was named Lenny. He is already nineteen years old, and according to Midi's standards, he is considered an adult. He is very independent and seems to be the leader among this group of children. He restrained his tone and said, "We are here to learn magic, not to accept this unreasonable treatment."
"Oh, it's unreasonable. Do you know what is reasonable? You can sit in a beautiful mansion like the one behind you, surrounded by servants and incense, and learn magic knowledge easily and freely. Is that right? Are you living in such a big house and giving you unrealistic fantasies? Save it, children, and think about what you came here for."
"Because we have the gift of magic"
"Wrong again" Lin yelled hard, then looked at the indignant children indifferently, and said in a calm tone, "You are reduced to this place because your talents are not good enough and no magician is willing to take you in." It’s also because you have no background, no power, and no one is willing to pay so that you can join a magician and learn magic like a superior person. Yes, you are worse than others in all aspects, but today you are Tell me here, I am not willing to put in more effort, and suffering a little is not the treatment I, a noble magic apprentice, deserve, I should live like a human being and should not be treated like a dog."
Some people clenched their fists, some gritted their teeth, and some held tears. The only thing they had in common was that they were speechless.
Lin changed his tone and cursed again, "The least of you has been in Wulian City for more than a month. How many people live worse than dogs? You haven't seen it. None of them have magic talent. No, They just can’t recognize the reality and are unwilling to admit it, let alone put in effort. So they can only live like dogs and pretend to be like humans.”
Seeing that the Marquis of Fire was almost gone, Lin lowered his tone and said, "I told you, you can choose to leave. Maybe if you are not here, you will be lucky and meet a teacher who is willing to teach you magic like a superior person. I don’t know. But if you really leave from here, the only advice I can give is to go home and stop having magical dreams. Home, sweet home, with the care and love of your parents, familiar friends, and even There may be people who admire you, what a wonderful place it is. Go back, people who miss all this are not suitable here."
Sensing that some people softened their expressions and unclenched their fists, how could Lin not know that before coming to the academy, they had been abandoned and could only hang out at the bottom of Wulian City, and their enterprising spirit had already been worn away. Faced with such treatment today, it is not surprising that he wants to quit.
"Magician" shouted, Lin Zai attracted everyone's attention. Asked, "What kind of person should I say? A magician is an existence that competes with the sky, the earth, and people. When competing with the sky, the time is not given to me, so I will look for the best time." Fighting with the land, what are you fighting for? The time you are searching for must not be wasted. Instead, you should grit your teeth, accept all kinds of suffering, and accumulate everything you have, knowledge, mana and power in silence. Collect useful materials and save , prepare what is needed. Only in this way can I have enough strength to grasp the opportunity when it comes. When competing with others, if my talent is not as good as others, I will work ten times as hard; if I am not as good as others, I will work a hundred times There is no shortcut to success. You have to do it to succeed. If you don't do it and don't start things, you can't succeed. So children, tell me, what is your choice? To ring that little bell, or to move forward. Go tell me”
Lin roared loudly, and the child who was aroused also shouted to the sky as if to vent his depression for the past few days. Even the eldest child Lenny, who had been lying on the ground with no intention of getting up, now stood taller than anyone else and roared harder than anyone else. They have been able to persist until now, and they are holding back a sense of resentment in their hearts, but they have nowhere to vent it.
The argument reminded them of the ambition they felt when they left their homes and villages. No one can remember when they forgot that feeling. But they knew that going back in despair was not the result they wanted.
They survived the period of being abandoned. Is it harder today than that time? Even if it is, it is only physical hard work. During that period of abandonment, there was no hope, but the life in front of me brought a glimmer of hope. If you don't seize such an opportunity, and you really want to drown yourself in the torrent of Wulian City, you may not forgive yourself until you die.
Looking at a group of older children who were aroused to fight, Lin remained calm on the surface, but secretly wiped a cold sweat on himself. Fortunately, I have read enough sensational articles, so I can spill buckets of blood today.
In the original plan, I just wanted to inherit the spirit of my mentor in Lost Land──Charlie Richard's spirit after returning to Wulian City and have enough energy to spare, and to help others like me who have poor talents and cannot help others. Children who fall into the eyes of formal magicians.
Shurion's actions undoubtedly irritated someone. The academy was originally just a game that Lin used to kill time during the day after returning to Wulian City, but now he wants to run it seriously and show some achievements. And if you want to educate a group of children who are not very talented in magic, you can't go astray with the original tame style of education.
But no matter how he wanted to run the first academy in the history of this mysterious land, Lin realized that there was a difficulty that had to be overcome, and that was the twilight energy. This group of children had been forced to survive on their own in Wulian City before. They responded to Lin's call and were gathered into the academy. It was not so much their enterprising spirit as their unwillingness.
With this kind of mentality, no matter what you do, you will get twice the result with half the effort. So how to stimulate them and inspire their enterprising spirit became a difficulty that Lin could not overcome. This is why Lin wants to use military education to change these children. Since we cannot expect this group of people to become conscious by letting them go, we can push them forward by forcing them.
Fortunately, it seems that what I have done has achieved initial results. In fact, playing the role of a demonic Master Chief was a huge gamble to see if these big kids could survive it. Now listening to the roar of this group of people, Lin knew that this was done.
Taking a step back and thinking about it, if they can't get through this, they are really persuaded to give up the unrealistic dream of magic and return to their hometown to live a down-to-earth life, so what? A good thing. The biggest fear is to be hung up for a long time, unable to move forward or retreat.
However, as long as the vigor of this group of people is forced out and the original staleness is swept away, then these children, guided by their various educational tricks from the earth, can do a lot. Whether they can reach the top depends on their own ability. But Lin is quite confident about becoming an official magician. Why is the duck so fat and stuffed?
John Goodman, who was watching from the beginning to the end, was dumbfounded. He had never known that there was such an operation method for leading people. But the person who was even more surprised was Juan Javier, who was watching what was happening in the courtyard from the window on the second floor.
The great magician who was awakened by the reveille was full of resentment. Especially when a man scolded a group of children like scolding a dog, he looked at them coldly as he wanted to watch a good show. Little did he know that the subsequent development was completely beyond his imagination.
But this amazing moment only lasted for a moment. What followed was a progression of scolding people like dogs, but the person being scolded had a different mood. It can be felt that everyone is holding back their energy and just want to rush forward on the path of magic. Any obstacle will be mercilessly knocked out of a human-shaped hole.
Realizing that his student was approaching, Juan, who was sitting on the windowsill, looked at his beloved disciple with doubts and asked, "You don't want to train with those kids because you saw this?"
Annemarie didn't reply, just nodded. She came to the window and looked at the group of children, big and small, who were moving forward amidst the scoldings, with a complicated expression.
