Chapter 124 College
The Thornbird Magic Academy in London, England is a world-renowned institution. It was founded in the 12th century AD. It is not considered ancient compared to the Athena Magic Academy in Athens, Greece and the Mermaid Magic Academy in Copenhagen, Denmark. However, it is now the largest magic Academy in Europe because it adopts a more scientific management method.
The Athena Magic Academy focuses on ancient magic, and it is obviously insufficient in innovation and research. The Mermaid Magic Academy is mainly female magicians and is considered a women's academy. Therefore, the magic course setting is not comprehensive enough. Only the Thornbird Magic Academy adopts an eclectic attitude and applies the management method of modern universities. The course is also open-ended. Students can also learn both while learning a magic. It is this open mentality that makes European nobles proud of being able to enter this school. The school also recruits some ordinary people with good qualifications every year. This is how Audrey started to come into contact with magic.
As a girl living in an ordinary family in London, she met Jessica on the street when she was ten years old and got her first magic prop in her life, an ordinary magic crystal ball, which was used to test her mental power. Then Jessica brought her into a magical world.
We were walking along the Thames when we said this. It was on the afternoon of June 24, 2012. Audrey obeyed Noah to take us to the Magic Academy, and of course he received Jessica's permission in advance.
I just finished this day in China, and I passed it again after returning to London. I really felt like I was going back in time. It was also on the 24th, but different stories happened.
The incident in the morning was an accident. According to Xiaojiu, I could not control the "invisibility" skill, because I could not mobilize the powerful demonic energy in the small universe. What I usually use is only a very small part of it.
My body is like a porcelain, too fragile to accommodate so much energy. Only after strengthening the body can more demonic energy be mobilized. Of course, Duoduo can borrow it for use because she has a strong body.
"Then do you go home?" I said curiously.
"Of course, I go home every weekend, just like going to an ordinary school," Audrey replied. "I haven't gone back this weekend because I have a task. I've called home."
"That's really sorry, it's wasted your time." I said embarrassedly.
"It's nothing, this is a job, and there is a reward for it." Audrey explained. "It is a luxury to learn magic. Even if the college has reduced the fees as much as possible, it is not something that ordinary people like me can pay. Those precious potions and scrolls require a lot of expenses, which is the privilege of the nobles. Therefore, we ordinary students will choose spells or divination, and some choose magic history, which is a more unpopular subject."
"Oh, how many disciplines do you have in total?" I asked.
"It is mainly divided into five categories: spell science, pharmacy, divination, black magic and magic history." Audrey introduced, "spellology is divided into spell science and scroll science, pharmacy is divided into pharmacy and herbal science, divination is divided into astronomy and arithmetic, magic history is also divided into ancient magic history and modern magic history, black magic is divided into defense black magic and combat black magic. Of course, there are more detailed categories below. For example, the spell science I have learned is divided into Latin and ancient Egyptian according to the language of spells, and is also divided into defense and combat according to the way it is used."
"It's really complicated!" I sighed.
"Yes, but this is more clear and clear. Everyone can choose their own subjects according to their interests. If your time and expenses allow, the college will allow you to minor in other subjects. However, the exams in the college are very strict, and the make-up examination records here will affect future development." Audrey said cautiously.
"So how many special members of your school are? They are like blood clans." I asked carefully.
"The academy is open to any race. As long as I pass the test and pay tuition fees and do not violate the school rules, I can study in the academy." Audrey proudly said, "My good friends have some magical creatures, such as elves and werewolfs. Of course, the blood clans occupy the majority in the academy. They have extremely high talent in black magic."
"Black magic?"
"I don't know much about this. It is said to be a very dangerous magic, or it has exceeded the scope of magic. I heard from mentor Jessica say it is a technique of ancient magic." Audrey frowned, "You know that magic requires energy, and black magic is to apply energy to its limits and exert its maximum ability."
"What ancient magic path? It is the war weapon of the goblin tribe." Xiao Jiu said disdainfully, "These guys are still not giving up and always want to turn over."
"Well, what are Mengmeng talking about?" Audrey said in confusion.
"Nothing, the kids are not interested in our conversations, they are talking nonsense." I responded, "By the way, when will we get to the college?"
"The Tower Bridge in front is just there." Audrey pointed ahead and said.
The Tower Bridge in London stands on the River Thames, with twin towers standing on it, quaint and magnificent. We walked up the Tower Bridge and looked out at the scenery along the River Thames. There are also shops and bars on the Tower Bridge for pedestrians to enjoy.
"Isn't the entrance of the college jumping from here?" I looked at the river water beneath me and guessed.
"No, there are several entrances in the College in London, the closest to us. The others are at the British Library, Greenwich Observatory, Canary Wharf and Buckingham Palace." Audrey said, "It's OK to walk through the door of that shop, but it takes my wand and spell, like a proof of identity, to prove that I'm back to the College."
I looked at the door, and from the outside, there was an ordinary supermarket inside. Audrey came to the door, took out her wand and pointed it, said something, and then pushed open the door of the store. We actually came out of a cabinet, and there was also a store outside, but it sold some strange magical uses, and many young men and women were shopping.
Looking at the dazzling array of magical products, I felt a little moved that the derivative products of Oriental Taoism are too single, with only talisman paper and peach wood sword, and they will not develop some targeted items according to the customer base, and the sales channels are too narrow.
"Welcome to the Thornbird Magic Academy." Audrey introduced enthusiastically, "The magical products here are made by magicians in the academy, with guaranteed quality. You can buy some and bring them back to give to relatives and friends or collect them yourself, which is very memorable."
"Have you been a promoter for this store?" I doubted.
"Yes, some of the products here are students' exercises, and they took them to sell them for subsidized tuition fees." Audrey honestly said, "But most of the products are still very good, you can choose to read them."
