Wang Qi also hid some information regarding the discussion on the college’s admissions threshold.
His status as a "king" determines that the original intention of establishing the magic academy is to serve the entire kingdom. In the entire kingdom, only the two groups infected by Solaris will unconditionally execute some orders that seem unreasonable.
It just so happens that the average "mysterious" attribute of these two races is much higher than that of normal people, so the so-called talent is the least need to consider.
But having said that, mathematics also requires talent, especially at the advanced mathematics stage. If you don’t know it, you just don’t know it.
But after all, intelligence is a quality that can be trained, and it is easier to develop than so-called talent.
During the lengthy visits and meetings, Wang Qi learned something new.
In the comparison between the two colleges, Black Forest Magic Academy has many advantages, such as the stable source of students from Night Clan and Sharp Blade, the mathematics-driven education model that makes it easier to mass-produce "ordinary" mages, and the application of magic technology to bring income to teachers and students.
The Fountain of Youth Academy almost never recruits students with zero basic knowledge, so the proportion of students they drop out halfway is relatively small.
This is not worth learning from, but there is one thing that is more humane, that is, Fountain of Youth Academy does not have strict grade settings.
They divide learning into four levels: beginner, intermediate, advanced and professional.
The elementary level is the basic knowledge course in the first year. Students must learn the specified nine tricks at this stage.
Although the students have a certain foundation, there are still relatively few people who have learned as many as nine tricks at home. When the course schedule is full, some cannot meet the promotion standards within one year and need to repeat the course.
The course arrangement during the repeat course becomes self-selected. You can enter the classroom according to the course schedule according to the class you want to take. Compared with the intermediate and advanced courses, the one-on-one time that the teacher can allocate when repeating the junior course will be more limited. Wang Qi asked specifically, and the answer he received was that "on average, junior repeat students can arrange two half-day one-on-one teachings per semester."
The same goes for intermediate and advanced courses, which can be repeated indefinitely, so when you visit, you will see some students with gray hair.
The watershed is set between advanced and professional. You can graduate after completing advanced courses. If you want to continue your studies, you need to transfer to the professional level.
Black Forest College is relatively lacking in grade settings. The grade system currently implemented is a five-year grade system. Some sponsored students who can spare the money will also be allowed to repeat their studies. In principle, publicly funded students are not allowed.
The main reason is that the number and ability of teachers are insufficient, and some must be eliminated in the early stages of learning to maintain the overall teaching quality.
From the perspective of students, the mages who serve the Phoenix Kingdom after graduation, except for those recommended by the Night Clan and Sharp Blade schools, are basically from workers and peasants. The possibility of them repeating the studies at their own expense, although not zero, is very small.
Relaxing the threshold for repeat studies is expected to increase the college's operating expenses by one-third.
As long as the Kingdom's productivity and technological advantages can be maintained, sending more money is not a problem, so the focus should still be on teachers and the purpose of teaching.
The speed of self-cultivation of magic talents is still too slow. The current progress can barely keep up with the changes in the college's enrollment scale. If you want to change the education method, you have to find a way to introduce teachers from outside.
It is more difficult to recruit teachers in magic colleges than in normal universities, because mages who have reached the threshold of lecturers will never go hungry. Income is not their main consideration. On the contrary, many people do not want to be constrained by the life of full-time teaching.
It seems that the net needs to be cast wider.
In terms of teaching purposes, the goal of Black Forest Academy is to enhance the strength of the kingdom, not personal hobbies.
From the perspective of the kingdom, it is really a waste of manpower to throw students into a college to study for more than ten or twenty years. It is not only the loss of teaching power, but also the value that this person can generate when he is invested in society.
There is no need to discuss these things that are closely related to the status of "king" in the exchange.
…
Wang Qi was responsible for visiting and holding meetings, and Li Xiang was not idle either. He was accompanied by two other female teachers, whose main task was to discuss magic learning experiences.
Li Xiang has been influenced by Wang Qi for a long time, and her way of thinking is biased towards materialism. At the same time, the information about the will of the world provided by Solaris also prevents her from considering the issue of natural magic being affected by the mysterious will during the learning process.
This caused serious differences in communication.
It is relatively similar to the school conflict between the wild mage and the church system.
The church system believes that magic comes from the decomposition of divine power. In the process of learning magic, maintaining a pious heart towards God will help improve learning efficiency.
Wild mages generally believe that magic exists naturally and does not come from divine power. Learning the essence of magic is to gradually understand the magic itself.
Speaking of which, the demons' understanding of magic power is the same.
Demons believe that the source of magic is death, especially the death of species with high spiritual power, which can add more magic to nature.
This cognition seems to be to make excuses for one's killing behavior, but it is difficult to classify the demons, demons and humans into the same genus according to biological classification, and there is no need for "excuses" to kill each other. , it is just a clear intention to compete for more survival resources.
So most demons probably really think this way: magic power is released by the process of death, and the stronger the soul, the more magic power is fed back.
In the understanding of Wang Qi and Li Xiang, magic power is the basic constituent particle of this world and exists in all matter. The process of using magic power is just to make it obedient. The only known feasible way to achieve this goal is through mental influence.
This argument is not tenable within the existing magic framework.
No one else has seen Solaris...perhaps there is no chance to arouse her interest. It is almost impossible to understand the particle nature of magic power.
If magic is really a basic particle, there is a high probability that it will have the duality of matter and energy at the same time. Let alone an electron microscope, even with a super large particle collider, it will still have to rely on massive calculations and verification work to arrive at " possible" conclusion.
In short, in the absence of observation, even if a few geniuses really realize the particle nature of magic, they will not be able to convince the entire magic community without sufficient evidence.
This leads to another academic contradiction. The teachers at Fountain of Youth Academy do not recognize the unique influence of mental power on magic power.
After all, it is very intuitive to realize that the magic array does not require mental power to maintain.
This turns to another cognitive contradiction - what is spiritual power.
Li Xiang believes that mental power is a "wave", a low-energy diffusion wave caused by bioelectrical signals. It can just affect the magic particles. This explanation can also fit the problem of the "range" of the spell. A feasible magic array will definitely produce similar waves in a bunch of clutter at the moment it is activated. As for the follow-up, it is just the interaction between the magic model and the magic circuit.
The Fountain of Youth belongs to mainstream academics, which believes that mental power is the power of the soul. Through magic learning and meditation, people can strengthen their souls and thereby improve their mental performance.
The main evidence for this view is that the souls created after the death of a mage tend to be more powerful. At the same time, only powerful enough ghosts can master magic in ghost form, which just proves that the soul is the main basis for operating magic.
It was just a short academic exchange, and it was impossible for Li Xiang to teach them physics lessons from scratch... In fact, apart from Wang Qi's opinions, she was not interested at all in whether ordinary people recognized her. She could describe her own opinions just to get more information. Much magical knowledge.
After all, in the world of magic, without sufficient accumulation of magic knowledge, it is impossible to gain access to the attention of the world's will mentioned by Solaris purely through spectacle.
