Chapter 30 Courses
Liqi originally thought that as long as she was conducting formal education in the college, the teaching-related content would be arranged on the agenda, and there was no time to rest from the beginning to the end.
But the facts are very different from her imagination.
After the ancient text class, Professor Donovan quickly left the classroom wearing his thick and stuffy long robe. Most of the apprentices who stayed there began to do their own things, some talking in groups, while others took out extracurricular books to read them casually... There were people who did everything, but no one came to talk to Liqi on his own initiative.
Liqi does not think that her transfer in the middle will become the core of attention. In fact, Curt had learned from his elder sister that the number of students who transfer to Cartris College in the middle of the semester is not uncommon. After all, this famous college is built in the dominance of the Ocean Center. Some overseas students often fail to meet the entrance examinations and opening ceremony for various reasons, so it is normal to transfer in the middle.
Moreover, Liqi is not very willing to establish interpersonal networks with these students. She always believes that this is usually the culprit of trouble. Besides, compared to these trivial matters, Liqi is more concerned about what kind of education she needs to receive, which is also one of her purpose in entering the academy.
Liqi was quite curious about the changes in the education of magicians with the development of modern society. She was a little looking forward to this. But seeing that it was about ten minutes before the end of the first class, the next class she had been looking forward to had not started for a long time.
When she looked around and wanted to find a suitable partner to ask, someone immediately came to her door.
"Miss Leinster." A well-faced boy got up from his job and walked to Liqi, saying hello to her in a brisk voice, "Hello, I'm glad to see you."
Liqi remembers the boy in front of her. He was also called by Donovan in Professor Donovan's ancient text class before and answered a question about the use of ancient text. At that time, he answered Donovan's question perfectly, winning himself a three-point extra point in his usual score.
"Hello, I'm also happy to see you. But who are you?"
The troublesome question is that although Liqi remembers him, she doesn't know what to call her. She originally wanted to maintain her usual style and speak coldly like an Oscar, but when she thought about her need someone who was responsible for explaining the situation in the college, she could only respond to his greetings bluntly.
"I didn't have the opportunity to introduce myself before. I am Jon Fried - of course, you can also call me Jon directly. At the same time, I am also the class monitor of Class 3, Grade 1, and if you don't know anything about the academy, you can ask me directly."
Among the many apprentices in Class 3, Grade 1, who are still a little childish, only his words and deeds seem particularly mature, which makes people think that he should have a good background. His gentle face makes him look easy to get along with, and his meticulous dressing shows his rigorous personality.
Liqi looked at Jon Fried in front of her. The boy had refreshing brown hair and his eyes were hazel. His speaking style was very like a wealthy young master, but Liqi noticed that his standing posture looked like he had been strictly trained, without any flaws.
——What a wonderful person.
Maybe he has his own story, but Liqi doesn't care. Now the only topic she is interested in is the arrangement of three classes a year and the specific situation of her college life.
"So that's it. It seems that you really haven't received any education." After hearing the question raised by Liqi, Jon smiled clearly. "You are really not easy to be admitted to the Katris Academy, which values students' abilities by just self-study."
After sighing at Liqi's ability, he began to introduce the situation of the academy to her.
The Advanced Learning Department of Katris College only has three classes a day, each class has a moment. This may be because of the acceptance of apprentices, so there are not many classes arranged every day. There are three moments of rest between two classes in the morning, and after the afternoon class is the time for club activities.
He handed Liqi a form with the college work and rest time, which showed that the college held classes at 9:30 am every day, and the first class was ten:30 after the rest was three minutes, and the second class started at eleven:00 after the rest was three minutes. The afternoon class started at 15:00 am.
Liqi, who is always stuck at home, has long been slow to feel the alternation of day and night, and instead she is becoming more and more sensitive to the passage of time. This is her experimental harmony of alchemy potions at home, and she always has to constantly compare her pocket watches, so she gradually developed such skills over time.
Even so, she felt that this time was too abundant.
"We will take eight courses this semester."
When Jon saw Liqi not speaking, he began to introduce her to the content of her class.
"In addition to Professor Donovan's ancient text class, there are three major courses: spell weaving, basic element spells, and casting specifications. The minor courses include two subjects: alchemy potion and cube structure. The remaining two subjects are the history that Miss Mabel is responsible for, and the other is the sports class that Mr. An Ran is responsible for."
Professor Donovan of the ancient text class is the oldest and most capable of all teachers. Not only the students in Class 3, Grade 1, the school respects him very much, and his speeches are also quite important in the academy. According to other teachers, he has served in the teaching position at Katris College for almost thirty years, and his iconic long robe has been worn since then until now.
Why did he dress like this? Although there are many different opinions, there is no answer yet.
The teachers in the two subjects of magic weaving and cube structure are the same. This tall and thin man named Discar just reverses the image of Professor Donovan. He not only likes to joke, but also likes to use his "performance talents" at will, making the atmosphere of the classroom lively.
"I don't like his class style very much, but I have to admit that he is very talented." Jon said calmly, "not in class, but in the way of casting spells. His abilities are very outstanding, much better than most people I've seen, but it's hard to say anything else."
Liqi felt that Jon seemed to be mixed with quite complex emotions when evaluating Discars, which seemed to contain jealousy and resentment. In addition, there were many more complex and difficult-to-explain emotions. Such strong emotions were rare, but she did not ask too much about this, but just silently remembered the information into her mind.
Compared with Discar, which makes the class atmosphere relaxed and active, casting norms have definitely become the most boring and boring class under the influence of the teacher. The middle-aged woman named Hall looks like an old witch who only appears in fairy tales.
In every class, she would stand on the podium with a hunched body, repeating the cliches in the textbook in a sharp and trembling tone. The buzzing sound of her speech was as sleepy as a lullaby, but every time she would just make someone doze off and make them concentrate and write down what she said.
"Note! Pay attention! These things are very important - you will be in trouble if you don't pay attention to these problems!" Jon pinched his throat and imitated what Hall said to Liqi. "I know what he said is very important, and may even be about life and death, but her teaching method is too boring."
In fact, it’s not that the students are unwilling to listen to the class, but Hall’s reading of the textbook made the content too stiff - he said so - he felt that if Hall was willing to take out some relevant materials and cases as a supplement to the textbook, then this class should not be as irritating as it is now.
Alaric, the teacher in the Basic Elements Spell Class, can be said to have no presence. More than half of the people in the class cannot remember his name. For the theory department, this course is the least valued examination project. After all, most of the people who have fallen into the theory department are poor students with spell casting talents and can only use theory to make up for the gap in actual operation. Therefore, this teacher is also a normal class, without any highlights.
The teacher of the Alchemy Potion Class is definitely a strange man. His office is full of strange things collected from all over the world. From weird dolls used by indigenous tribes in the Dark Continent to glass bottles with animal corpses, there are all kinds of inexplicable things.
The apprentices were looking forward to taking the class of this big man with a beard, because every once in a while, the strange decorations placed in his office would be replaced with a batch of strange decorations - so far, I have never seen a duplicate. In his spare time, he would talk to the students about the origin of these decorations, and by the way, he would share with everyone the stories of his adventurers' friends taking adventures in places that had not yet been cultivated.
These are just courses marked on the course schedule, and in addition, the school will organize some large school-wide educational activities in its spare time.
For example, on clear nights, apprentices sometimes get up from bed in the middle of the night, and gather on the top of the Silver Illusion Tower to look at the sky with a telescope. At this time, there will always be an old professor named Knicks to teach them about the extremely orbit of the stars.
Sometimes they also need to go to the college’s greenhouse to learn about botany. The person in charge of this class is a short and fat man named Morrick. He always happily tells students how to find these strange mushrooms and herbs in the wild and how to use them correctly. Sometimes, he even leads students to the mountains and fields of the college’s private land and tells them step by step how to collect wild materials.
"Well, I understand, thank you for explaining it to me." Liqi nodded and expressed her gratitude to Jon, "But since you have said so much, why don't you introduce Miss Mabel's history class and what kind of exercise class? Even if it's not a professional subject, these two courses should be very important, right?"
She still can't forget several historical questions that she deducted a large amount of points during her admission examination, and she also had no idea about the sports class she had never heard of.
"Well, you'll know if you feel it yourself. Experience it yourself is definitely more intuitive than listening to what I said."
Jon pointed to the door, and Maybel was walking into the classroom from there with a bag of heavy folders.
