A strange world

Chapter 220 Section 73. First Lesson

"Science is our description of laws. Magic comes from the magic floating in the world. The food we eat turns into our strength and physical strength. The ice and snow melt because of the warmth..."

On a sunny morning, water drops on the eaves dripped from the window.

Spring arrives quietly.

"...Plants will flourish due to fertilization. This knowledge is science. I will give you two weapons on how to conquer knowledge."

The classroom was very quiet, and everyone listened very carefully.

"One weapon is called mathematics, and it will teach you how to use your wisdom; one weapon is called literature, and it will teach you how to think."

"Let's start with math. We can do the simplest math question: What is 1 plus 1?"

Annan gave the right to speak to the "students" under the podium, Mr. Victor. They remained silent, obviously not because of ignorance.

"I had two apple pies and I ate them all so there wasn't any left!" Except for Martin.

"One Losi and one Silo are equal to two...equal to 2!" Losi said.

"But one Kerrian and one Mina are three, four, five... equal to 10!" Kerrian puffed out his chest.

It’s all mentioned, with answers 1, 2, and 3 being the most common.

"What about 2 plus 2?" Annan slightly increased the difficulty.

"Four!"

"There's still not one left!"

"I can accept 1 plus 3, but not 2 plus 2..."

"What about 4 plus 4?" Annan asked again.

"If you eat in a hurry, there won't be any left."

"Eight fingers..."

"Why not 1 plus 7..."

Annan waited for the noisy words to speak: "What about 8 plus 8?"

This time it was difficult for them to answer because they only had ten fingers. The caveman with only four hands proudly said the answer: "Sixteen!"

"Seven, because I can only eat nine." Martin was also saying.

Francois couldn't help but look sideways, this guy actually got it right...

"Very good, you already know the basic laws of mathematics. Now let's try this basic question: Chickens and rabbits are in a cage. The chickens and rabbits have a total of 35 heads and 94 legs. How many are each of the chickens and rabbits? Only?"

Both humans and cavemen shut their mouths, and the classroom was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

When no one answered, Ingrid held the note and said, "There are 23 chickens and 12 rabbits."

"Ten points for Ingrid."

Annan smiled and praised, then changed the question: "Do you think a pound of iron balls is heavier, or a pound of cotton?"

"A pound of iron balls!"

The students said in unison.

"Are you all stupid? The iron ball and the cotton are both one pound." Martin said confidently: "Of course the cotton weighs."

"The answer is the same weight." Annan added, looking at Victor, "So if a one-pound iron ball or a ten-pound iron ball falls from the sky, who will hit the ground first?"

"The two iron balls will hit the ground at the same time..." Mr. Victor said.

"Do you believe it?" Annan asked the others.

"Do not believe!"

"Cotton must be the last to fall," Martin muttered.

Annan took out two iron balls from behind the desk, one 1 pound and one 10 pounds. He raised them with some difficulty, and Annan let go of his hand.

As the students watched, two iron balls hit the ground at the same time, making a muffled sound.

Mr. Victor was indifferent, Francois and Ingrid felt a little novel, but for poor people like Losey, it was no less than seeing magic released before their eyes.

The school bell rang outside the window. Annan picked up two iron balls, held them in his hands and said, "This is my first lesson: the two weapons handed over to you."

Annan walked out of the classroom with heavy breathing without looking back. He breathed a sigh of relief when he came outside and asked the guard captain to help take away the two iron balls.

The first lesson was very good, and I couldn't do it better if I did it again.

Staying in the office in the school building, Mr. Victor soon appeared outside the door with a cane.

"Where do you come up with these things?"

The stubborn old man who had seen Annan writing it himself a few days ago asked strangely.

"I just compiled the knowledge discovered by previous people."

Satisfied with this answer, Mr. Victor turned and left, revealing Lorna who came over afterward.

"What you said is very good."

"Which sentence?"

"Magic comes from the magic floating between the worlds. The food we eat will turn into our strength and physical strength, and the ice and snow will melt due to warmth..."

"I dream about you because I miss you."

A gagging Lorna covers her mouth and hurries away, revealing Ingrid.

"I didn't know that you and Lorna..."

"Nothing, just the curse of the succubus." Annan explained, changing the subject: "Do you have any enemies? I can't think of any other enemies..."

Augusta National counts, but Olmedo will cause trouble for himself.

"...My fiancé Anika. Without the help of Lord Olmedo, I would be his seventeenth wife."

Annan said he remembered the name. As soon as Ingrid left, Francois appeared outside the door again.

"Do you have to come and talk to me one by one?"

"Uh...I just want to say that your teaching is great. But why is it that chickens have...chickens have..."

"There are 23 chickens and 12 rabbits? You will know after a few more days of class."

Every day thereafter, Annan would teach the "students" a lesson.

Annan told them about the confusion in measurement units: an ounce can be one-sixteenth of a pound in terms of weight, and one-hundred-sixtieth of a gallon in terms of capacity. So it seems that one gallon is equal to ten pounds? The answer is incorrect because the gallon is not a unit of weight.

It's even clearer than a unit like Alchemy. About a spoonful, about the size of a little finger, half a wooden bowl... Michael is still using this method to make little alchemical gunpowder.

So Annan wrote three new units on the blackboard: meters; grams; milliliters.

10 meters equals 1 meter, 1000 meters equals 1 kilometer;

1000 grams is equal to 1 kilogram, and 1000 kilograms is equal to 1 ton;

1000 milliliters equals 1 liter;

The future Xingyue Bay will adopt these metric units.

After the third day of teaching, Mr. Victor and the bard also started teaching. The former imparts knowledge and the latter tells stories.

Starting from the fifth day, Annan, who believed that the "students" could advance, increased the difficulty, which made them complain. For example, why did this bastard named Gema always store water and release it at the same time, and why he had to fight with Anika set out at the same time, but at different speeds... couldn't they make an appointment to meet somewhere?

And why do you still need to describe after listening to the story told by the bard? What kind of psychology does the blue curtain express?

How could they know! Maybe the curtains in the author’s house happen to be blue!

When the bard asked Annan what the answer was, Annan replied that there was no real answer: "Remember what I said about the two weapons? 'Literature will teach you how to think.' When you will think about why the curtains are blue, the future When negotiating and trading, we will also think about the meaning of each other’s words and actions.”

As March draws to a close, the snow begins to melt

Xingyue Bay, which has recovered from the ice, is also busy.
