Su Ye sighed and half-jokingly said, "Fortunately, I was mentally prepared, otherwise I had already covered my face now. If what I expected was good, your magical talent should be stronger than your performance."

"I could have been promoted to bronze, but my heart was filled with countless doubts. I didn't know whether my path was right or wrong. I was worried that I would become the same person as those few Milidu masters, and finally learned endless knowledge, but I was always in the sacred realm and could not witness the legend. I looked for you just to understand what is inside Plato Academy and to learn the essence of magic." Clemera said.

"If what you are asking for is the essence of magic, I can't say that you are wrong. I can only say that I am also pursuing it. In this regard, we are like-minded people. Even legendary masters may not understand the essence of magic. In other words, magicians may only be close to the essence and cannot reach the essence." Su Yedao.

"I can give it a try." The girl's eyes brightened again.

"Okay, I like your courage, let's try it together."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Su Ye said: "With your talent and family background, it is easy to enter Plato Academy to study. I wish you to become a student of Plato Academy, Cleemera."

"School sister? I like this title." Clemela smiled happily.

"Since you want to be a student at Plato College, then I will ask you a question that every second-year freshman needs to answer. Now put your hand on the magic book. After I ask the question, you have to write down the first thought that comes to your mind, remember that it must be written within three seconds. If you can't write it out, I will abort the course."

"good."

"The question is, what would you do if Master Plato finds you and orders you to climb Mount Olympus? One…two…"

Crymela was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a second, and wrote a word on the magic book.

"...Three! Tell me what your first thought was." Su Ye said.

A hint of hesitation flashed in Krimela's eyes and said, "A more offensive question appeared in my mind. Can I change it?"

"If you are in school, you can disguise your true intentions, but there are only you and me here, so you and me, so you will speak boldly."

"Okay. My first thought at that time was to ask Master Plato why he ordered this?" Clemela stared at Su Ye's eyes.

Su Ye smiled with relief and said, "You are a very excellent child. You are worthless in asking questions without asking questions. So, I personally ask you a question. What else do you want to learn from me except for the magical nature that I cannot teach?"

Krimela's eyes drooped slightly, after a while, she raised her head, her eyes were like stars, and her skin was shining, and said, "I want to be ignited."

Su Ye stared at the eye of the pink diamond and remained silent.

Clymera is talking about the famous saying of Socrates.

Education is not indoctrination, but ignites the flame.

Crymela explained: "My magic teachers, or teachers in all other fields, were almost always instilling knowledge. They were teachers, they were kind, they also had profound knowledge, they had rich experience, and they had strong abilities in their own fields. But, I would like to say a harsh truth, they were not educators, or even qualified educators. But I know that Master Socrates is an excellent educator, and Master Plato is an excellent educator. I also believe that there must be other excellent educators in Plato College."

"Are you really only twelve years old?" Su Ye asked with a smile.

"I'm more ignorant than my peers." Crymela smiled slightly, her eyes flashing with indescribable happiness.

"Yes, we will always feel ignorant and even more ignorant."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Su Ye picked up the magic quill that matched the magic blackboard, walked to the blackboard, looked at Clymela's eyes, and said, "I can't teach you the essence of magic, I won't even be a qualified educator. In this first class, I won't teach you magic, language, text, phonetic symbols, anything that can be learned directly in the school, and even no teacher has taught me."

Climela instinctively straightened her body, her eyes brighter.

Su Ye wrote down on the magic blackboard.

"I am a person who likes to think randomly, so many problems have accumulated in my mind. It was not until I entered Plato Academy that I gradually learned a lot of things, but this was not enough. In the first grade, I was in a mess and I had no idea what to do. It was not long ago that I suddenly realized a concept. I don't remember that a similar concept was said by people from Lion Harbor or read it in a book, but this concept, this word, is something I can share with you in this class, and it is also what I think every child should learn from an early age... not knowledge, but a kind of thinking."

Su Ye silently recited in his heart, Master Aristotle, I don’t know if you have completed "Metaphysics" now and have proposed the concept that has been passed down from generation to generation, but in order to calm this evil student, you can only use your killing weapon.

Su Ye pointed to that word with a magic pen.

Crymela's eyes widened.

"First principle!"

"So, what is the first principle? Simply put, there is a first principle in each field or system. This principle is a proposition or assumption that cannot be deleted or omitted or violated. This first principle is the law of the law, the method, the cognitive cognition, and the thinking. Once you understand the first principle in a certain field and practice it repeatedly, everything in this field is like... standing on the roof and pouring water down, leaking down, like cutting bamboos with one knife, which is unstoppable."

"Of course, this is a narrow explanation, because it is too absolute and difficult to explain clearly in simple sentences. As we said before, it is difficult for us to find the essence of magic, and the essence of magic is a first principle."

"The first principle of hardness exists only in some disciplines of truth, such as philosophy, mathematics, geometry, botany, history, etc."

"For example, in geometry, we can assume a predicate, or call it an axiom of plane geometry, such as 'there is only one straight line after two points'. Another explanation of this geometric axiom is that two points determine a straight line. In the field of plane geometry, we cannot overturn this axiom, which is a first principle in plane geometry. The example I give you will find it very simple, and you may even think that this is what it is, even a fool knows, right?" Su Ye asked.

Crymela nodded sincerely.

"You will think it's simple, even useless, but great disciplines and magic are based on these seemingly simple and useless things. Because with this seemingly simple and useless axiom, you can deduce theorems that seem to be useless, but these useless theories combined together will form a huge force and promote the development of human beings at an incredible speed."

Su Ye hesitated for a moment and did not say anything deeper.

"I don't understand very much, because I have learned geometry, but I don't understand what axioms, assumptions or theorems are." Clemela frowned slightly in her fine eyebrows.

Su Yexin thought that although some theories have been proposed now, which can be regarded as axioms or theorems, no one has clearly stated the strict definitions of words such as "axioms" or "theorems". It will be considered complete until Aristotle and Euclide emerge.

And now, Aristotle and Euclid are too young.

The current geometry of the Pythagoras school can only be regarded as geometric theory, barely considered as general geometry. Euclide's "The Origin of Geometry" is the real geometry.

Su Ye smiled and said, "These are great knowledge. We will talk about it slowly in the future, but here is just an example. Since geometry is difficult to understand, we will change to examples that are easy to understand in magic. Master Democritus and his teacher Liuguiber proposed the famous "atom theory". He believed that everything is composed of an indivisible smallest thing, and he could not determine what it is, but named its smallest thing "atom". Let us do not care whether this atomism itself is right or wrong, we will find that all the understanding, behavior, thinking, etc. of this legendary master are based on this "atom theory", and firmly believe that all magic and all matter are composed of atoms. Atomism has become the foundation for his promotion to the legend. Is this right?"

Crymela nodded and said, "Yes, this is right. He personally said that his magical achievements are based on atomic theory."

"So, in his eyes, the essence of magic is 'atomism', and atomism is the first principle of the magic field that he 'considered'. Can you understand this?" Su Ye asked.

"You can understand the superficial meaning." Climela's eyes looked at Su Ye with a hint of solemnity and solemnity.

Su Ye continued: "I will understand better if I take my own example. When I was learning magic, I was always looking for a 'first principle of magician combat'. I thought at that time that I could not fight randomly when fighting, and I could not fight alone by instinct. I should find a most basic, essential, solid and most suitable for me. Use this method to guide my battle, and try to ensure that this supreme method is suitable for any battle."

"I have thought about it, this is impossible. Because we will encounter countless possibilities, no method can be applied to any battle. If we pursue one method to apply to all battles, we will definitely encounter accidents." Clemela said firmly.

But, the next moment, Climera's face turned slightly red, and a light water rippled in her pink eyes, and she hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, teacher, I shouldn't have spoken randomly."
