How long can a group of pampered children survive without servants to serve them, and family members who greet them every day and take care of them attentively?
Answer: Less than a day...
On the first day of registration, most of the students were busy organizing their beds and personal belongings, distributing uniforms, and asking their family members or servants to take away personal belongings that were not suitable to be left in the academy, or high-value belongings that were not useful for learning magic. In addition, they were taken around by students born in 1972 and were familiar with all parts of the college. Therefore, on the first day, these new children were only surprised by the shouting outside.
Then came the morning exercise the next day. Nine of the ten newly registered children went to ring the small clock at the door with their noses sniffling and their eyes red. The remaining one was either paralyzed by fatigue or frightened, and in short could not even walk up and ring the little clock.
For such a death rate, Lin can say that he is not surprised at all. Looking back on the time when I served as a compulsory soldier on the Ghost Island on Earth, I found that people with better family backgrounds and higher education are usually less able to adapt to an environment like the military.
However, he also abided by his original agreement and sent the abandoned children back to their respective homes, along with the tuition fee of ccc Kir (300 gold). As for the clothes and mattresses worn by those children, they can still be used after being washed. Midi people are not so particular.
Of the ten children sent back, probably six would remain silent and regard the memories of the academy as a nightmare. The remaining four will be forced back to the academy by their parents and officially start a life of dire straits.
The children who were sent by their elders also had a lot of discomfort at first, especially the words of old John Goodman that would cut a knife into the hearts of others.
By the way, the children who could be used to go to the academy in the past were all children who no magician was willing to take in and were abandoned. But times have changed, and such 'motivational' words are no longer suitable for the academy, because some people are sent here on their own initiative.
But Old John's Master Chief talent was like a torrential flood, overflowing with disaster. Lin just gave the veteran a few tips, and the next day he had a new set of tricks. Even those children who thought they had strong resistance and were accustomed to all kinds of cynicism gritted their teeth and sometimes secretly shed tears.
Of course, in addition to these children sent by the elders of the family, the operation of the Charlie Richard Foundation also continues to send children from various remote places who have successfully taught themselves magic. These people also hold a magical dream and hope to escape from their past lives, so as long as they have predecessors as role models, they will show the same enthusiasm.
And those children who were not used to it at first and were sent here by their elders gave up several times and were escorted here by their parents several times. They also realized that there was only one way left to get out of this sea of misery. That is to become an official magician and graduate from this academy. Although if you stay for five years you will be forced to drop out of school, but you have to live here for five years! They just want to commit suicide immediately.
Even though they all have their own goals and plans, all the children are studying with great enthusiasm. Even if there is a rest day every seven days on Sunday, children whose families live in Wulian City will go back a few times in the early days, and then stay in the academy unless necessary to study on their own or with their peers. Discuss.
Several times, Lin had a feeling that these children were all sluts and enjoyed being abused.
It is precisely because of this enthusiasm that comes from nowhere that the college has achieved outstanding results one after another. Two months after the 726 students passed the first-level assessment, the 727 students who got the opportunity to study in Wulian City because of the fund also passed the first-level assessment.
In the second half of the year 727 of the Aramaic calendar, as long as it was the first semester of 727, that is, the children who joined in the first half of the year, all passed the first-level assessment. There were even people who passed the second-level magic apprentice examination in the second half of the year, which shocked everyone in Wulian City, including the magicians who taught the class.
Incidentally, the number of faculty members at the college has certainly increased. Now the teaching is divided into two classes, the elementary class and the advanced class, so that children with different progress can be separated.
What does it mean to pass the second-level magic test in less than a year? Excellent talent, flexible thinking and unimaginable efforts are all indispensable.
Especially for magic talent, to cast ten second-level apprentice-level magics in succession requires mana power and energy that an apprentice who has passed the first-level magic can't imagine. That's not just a several-fold difference. And such accumulation must be completed within one year. It is not an exaggeration to call it 'genius'.
Such a genius shines brightly in an academy that no one is optimistic about. And from the beginning, it was just a place to gather people that no one wanted to take in. This makes many magicians who have accepted a large number of apprentices and boast that they will carefully screen the candidates for apprentices feel ashamed.
However, not only did these magicians dare not take any action, but even the forces that were originally targeted under the table stopped their actions and watched quietly. There is no way, now the power of Gebra Shtripwood cannot be underestimated.
By the end of 1977, Chengguo Eton College had twenty-seven ordinary apprentices, forty-six first-level apprentices, three second-level apprentices, five magicians serving as teachers—excluding himself—and a large number of He is a magician alone, with a small follower, but he is also a magician. With such strength, the unofficial organization in Wulian City is also ranked among the largest forces.
Some people made sarcastic remarks and said that such a force must not be loyal enough to fight a tough battle. But the point is, no one dares to bet on this and provoke people from the academy. If the bet is wrong, it won't be enough to cause a draw.
During this year, in addition to the children repeatedly breaking everyone's expectations, the college also produced a quite attractive result. That is the calculator made by the great magician Juan Javier and the magician Eli Huber. The physical machine is not the program interface on the forum.
It was inspired by the small card and the pocket watch designed by two p language creators to store text records. Juan and Eli used the minimum materials to make a basic calculator with ten number keys and five keys for addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and the equal sign. Coupled with a horizontal bar digital screen, nine digits can be displayed.
Such a simple gadget is selling like hot cakes!
Of course, it is different from products like forums, which are meant to be popularized by almost everyone. Anyone doing business will be laughed at by others for not being professional enough if they don’t bring a calculator. If a person who handles accounts for a nobleman doesn't have a calculator, the nobleman will suspect that he is too stupid or wants to do something ulterior, such as taking some from the nobleman's wallet to enrich his personal pockets. Category.
Although the structure of the calculator is not complicated, it uses magic materials to carry several magic arrays and a small red magic stone. In addition to containing the main calculation program, it also bears the heavy responsibility of providing energy. However, since the area where power is consumed is minimal, it can theoretically be used without any restrictions.
The structure is simple, and most masters who have experienced it can imitate it. As for the most critical magic stone program, to be honest, even if you don't know how to write P language, you can still copy it. Midi people don't have the concept of copy protection and encryption, so as long as they have a calculator, they can imitate the cat and make a second or third one.
But even so, no one dared to do such a thing blatantly. After all, the person behind the calculator is a great magician and a disciple of the president of the Leon District Chapter, which is an official organization that owns an airship. Will infringing on his interests expose the string of connections behind the great magician? This is what makes people jealous.
It is precisely because of such an example of gaining both fame and fortune that people are more enthusiastic about learning P language. People who come to listen to lectures, people who make up for the procedures, trample on the turf of the college again and again,
In addition, in the second half of 1972, a reason came up that made someone feel dumbfounded. That is, the magician brought his apprentice to the academy in order to receive magical enlightenment.
As we all know, the most difficult part of magic is the initiation. As long as you cross the magic gate, the road behind you can't say it's smooth, but it won't be blinding.
And the reason why this master sent his apprentice here was also very upright, that is, as a martial arts sect, he did not object to accepting apprentices, but at least he had to be able to protect himself. An apprentice who has not passed the first level of assessment will only be a burden on his journey. So in order not to waste time, the two masters and apprentices worked together, one was responsible for taking risks and making money, and the other was responsible for learning, so neither side fell behind.
Of course, according to what the magician said, the apprentice who was sent seemed to have no intention of staying at the academy until graduation. That is to say, the most troublesome magic enlightenment education is taken care of by the academy. After passing the first or second ring assessment, they will return to their respective teachers and contribute their own strength.
Lin certainly had no objections to these calculations, and was even willing to lend Dongfeng a hand and work with others. The focus of a college's long-term operation is never how well it performs or how much money it makes, but how many people it comes into contact with and what kind of backers these people have. What a network of relationships was ultimately woven.
In this way, 727 is coming to an end. I remembered that a year ago, it was during this period that Chengguo Eton College was established, a place that no one was optimistic about at the time.
In just one year, the academy has become an organization that no one can easily ignore.
There may be some resistance in the process, but overall it is moving in a good direction. But if I had to pick something wrong, it would be that after coming to the academy, Lin Du had to straighten his face, and he felt a little paralyzed for a long time.
