Even though he agreed to help the lich, he couldn't just leave. At least some preparation is required, especially preparation of mathematical tools.
Last time, in order to calculate the outline of the space distortion and related data, I went into battle temporarily and could only use some stupid methods to calculate it. The result was extremely brain-burning. This is only a simple calculation without distraction in other aspects, so that the calculation results can be obtained safely.
If you want to fight at the same time or do other things, this level of computing power usage may very well lead to a life-threatening outcome. Therefore, Lin made special preparations for the mathematical tools that may be used during this trip.
Of course it is impossible to be completely prepared. Because we are going to a strange place and we don't know what will happen or what problems we will encounter. How can we be 'completely' prepared? If you dwell on this point, you will not even be able to set off. So it's enough to be prepared for 70% or 80%, and the rest depends on improvisation.
In addition to various preparations, things at home are easy to arrange. Anyway, the apprentices have been in charge from the beginning. The presence or absence of someone is not a problem. As for the academy, Lin was thinking about another problem and approached Fen, who was also a teacher at the academy.
The Lich asked: "Is there anything going on at the academy?"
"I'm thinking about asking someone else to teach the courses at the college. What do you think?"
It has been two or three years since the Mathematics course at Kabambai College was launched. The original plan was to teach all the mathematics knowledge I knew within five to seven years, regardless of whether the students really understood it.
But plans never keep up with changes. The practical magicians, who have long since learned enough mathematical methods to transform and correct spell models, have no interest in continuing their studies in the field of pure mathematics. Only a few young people who had not been deeply involved in magic showed any interest in pure mathematics. But it's just an interest, but not a good enough talent.
Although Lin continued to teach advanced mathematics to them, his progress was slow. No one thought about improving this situation. After all, the further you progress in mathematics, the less useful information you will have, and it is not impossible to be asked by others.
Not long ago, the teaching direction of mathematics classes has been similar to the life courses taught by Fen. It has become a group research project. The research content is of course mathematical problems at the practical application level. The group topic with the most projects initiated is, of course, the optimization of spell models for first- to third-level apprentice-level magic.
The formal class time is a time for everyone to brainstorm solutions when current mathematical tools cannot solve a difficult problem.
In addition to group project research, the second round of teaching in mathematics classes was also carried out. That is to teach old mathematical knowledge that has been published again. The target is of course a new group of students. After all, the class of the previous grade is full of over a hundred people; compared to the number of magicians who want to learn mathematics, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a drop in the bucket.
In addition to Lin's second mathematics course, many veterans of the first mathematics course also stayed at Kabanbai College and were invited by the magician Kabambai, the head of the college, to offer the same mathematics course. It is hoped that at the same time, more people will have the opportunity to learn mathematical knowledge systematically.
The old college principal's approach certainly had Lin's consent. On the road to promoting mathematics, absorbing more people to teach is bound to be more beneficial than working alone.
But the sequelae of doing this is that someone's importance is weakened. Now, in addition to serving as a consultant in the old student class that no one would ask about, I am leading a new class and teaching them the basics of mathematics again.
However, the diminished importance is not without its benefits. That is, Lin can take a long vacation without being eaten alive by the masters who are thirsty for knowledge. And now there are people who can take over as substitute teachers. Anyway, they only teach basic and secondary mathematics.
If someone didn't want to be completely supported by the nobility, he could probably rely on the monthly food allowance from the Marquise de Balan and live on the salary of a consultant at the automobile manufacturing center. Retaining the teaching position at Kabamba College is actually just a way for someone to avoid going back to living at home doing nothing all day long.
Before today, someone relied on the convenience of flashing to be able to travel back and forth in an instant no matter how far away they were. Therefore, most of the arrangements for long-distance travel are to deal with some personal matters in the morning and then go to the college to teach mathematics in the afternoon. But the disadvantage of this is that the morning work usually has to be finished after half of it is done; and then after teaching the afternoon math class, the remaining work will continue tomorrow.
Although the time seems to be fully utilized, in fact, it takes a lot of effort to finish each time and start again the next day. If the work can be continued, I don’t know how much progress can be made. So Lin was thinking about taking a long vacation this time, to concentrate on taking care of Fen's affairs, that's why he had such doubts.
Fen did not directly agree with someone's idea, but asked slightly surprised: "What are your considerations?"
Lin replied: "I am quite unfamiliar with the elemental world, and I can't guarantee what I will encounter. According to you, you should be similar to me. So during the exploration process, there is no need to worry about returning at a certain time." Teaching in the academy should be conducive to our exploration. And if we want to stay among the elemental creatures and negotiate with them, how can we explain or conceal that we will disappear at specific times every day. At least for the time being, as long as I am active outside, not only It would be very troublesome to find time to return to the college and hide my whereabouts at this time. So I thought about taking leave and suspending the college's teaching. Anyway, there are other people who can take over the teaching, so I don't need to attend every day. .”
"Indeed, it would be inconvenient if there was a time jam in between." After thinking for a moment, Fen said: "It seems that my life course should be suspended for a while. Now it is all group research, so I don't need to check it every day."
Although there is no direct answer, since Fen has the same intention, it can be regarded as explaining from the side that she agrees with someone's approach. After the two discussed for a while, the next day they went to the old dean of the academy, the great magician Kabambai, to explain their request for leave.
The old man didn't have any embarrassment and agreed immediately. Including the substitute candidates recommended by both of them, neither of them had any opinions.
Speaking of which, in Lost Land, magicians occasionally leave their base. It is normal to engage in adventurous activities to prevent yourself from being away from actual combat for too long and become incompetent; or to look for special and rare magic materials that you need. Just like the change of appearance, this is not a big deal to the magicians in Lost Land.
Otherwise, someone's appearance would change twice since he came to the holy city of Estali. First, he was baptized by the eight powers and became as skinny as a stick. Then came the demonic transformation, making myself young again. If it were placed on Earth, some people would have long suspected whether they were being impersonated. But in the Lost Land, this would not arouse any interest or attention from the masters at all.
Should I say that the magicians in the Lost Land are so big that they are transformed, or should I say that the people here have long been used to it.
